Mist System: Legend of Stars and Moon

Liu Huaming received another message from Yan Lubai: The three people you saw are very likely the same person

As for Zhao Hengtian, he had just got off the plane and was not very familiar with the environment here, so he used the mobile phone navigation to go to that place.

It was already noon when he got there, so he went into a noodle restaurant some distance away from the community. The owner was a kind middle-aged man. It was not easy to find a noodle restaurant during the Qingming Festival.

Zhao Hengtian went in and ordered some beef noodles, paid and sat down. He saw that there were pickled radishes in the store, which looked delicious. Zhao Hengtian politely asked, "Boss, how much is this side dish?"

Seeing the young man in a suit and tie, the boss thought he might be a young master from some family, so it was normal that he didn't know about folk delicacies, so he said, "The pickled radishes we pickle are free, and there are also spicy and crispy ones on the table. Take as much as you can eat, and don't waste anything."

Zhao Hengtian smiled and said, "Thank you, boss."

"You're welcome."

The boss also wanted to find out who this young master was: "Young man, what time do you work?"

Zhao Hengtian randomly thought of a career: "I work in finance."

When the boss heard that there was a lot of money to be made in finance, he said: "That must be a lot of money!"

Zhao Hengtian said: "In fact, it's enough to make enough money. If you run a business like your boss, you will not only have enough money, but you can also adjust your vacation time."

The boss thought what the young man said made sense: "Well, as long as the money is enough, it's ok. Sometimes I'm tired, but I have a wife and children by my side. This is really my lifelong blessing."

Seeing that the young man was good, the boss said to him, "Young man, if you have a loved one, you can bring him/her over to eat noodles together. I'll charge you half price."

Zhao Hengtian covered his face and smiled bitterly: "We'll see later!"

The boss said happily, "Don't look, uncle will introduce one to you. I said it's better for you to talk, why don't you add her and chat first! She is studying for a master's degree and will graduate soon. She is also beautiful and eloquent. Uncle introduced her because he thought you two were suitable. Uncle is not a bad person. He just wants to help you find a partner."

The boss opened WeChat and searched: "Uncle thinks you are a good person. If chatting doesn't work, then don't chat. It's just typing anyway."

After the boss found it, he showed it to Zhao Hengtian. Zhao Hengtian couldn't resist the boss's enthusiasm and added it.

The girl’s WeChat name is quite nice, it’s called “～若伊来雨时～”

Personal signature: My heart moves with the wind and cannot stop for a long time.

Zhao Hengtian thought, let's just add more! It won't reveal anything, so let's hide it from the other party first!

Zhao Hengtian smiled and said, "Thank you, boss!"

"Why are you being so polite?"

Zhao Hengtian had to get back to the point: "Boss, where is this Xingfu Community?"

In fact, Zhao Hengtian didn't know how to start the conversation, so he could only ask a question even though he knew the answer.

The boss looked nervous and thought for a long time. Zhao Hengtian just ate the noodles quietly. When he was almost done, the boss said, "Hey! The girl is a good girl, but I don't know why she couldn't bear it and jumped off the building."

Zhao Hengtian asked doubtfully: "Boss, can you explain it in more detail?"

The boss sighed and said, "Five years ago, a mother and daughter moved into Xingfu Community. The mother's name was Xu Xuerui and the daughter's name was Xu Ranqing. They were actually nice people, but I don't know why these things happened."

The boss didn't want to recall too much: "Her daughter would come over to eat rice noodles after class at noon. She especially liked my pickled radish and spicy crispy noodles. When I asked her to carry the noodles after making them, she would smile and say, 'Thank you, boss.' I feel like she is half my daughter."

Zhao Hengtian asked: "Boss, where is her school?"

The boss led Zhao Hengtian out and pointed to the right: "Climb up this slope, her school is at the top, a private middle school."

Zhao Hengtian said: "Thank you, boss!"

The boss wiped his tears and asked in confusion, "Are you asking about Xingfu Community? Are you asking about the school?"

Zhao Hengtian had been thinking of a reason just now, and it just came in handy: "Actually, I'm mainly in real estate finance, and my boss notified me to come and look at the house here."

The boss tried to dissuade him, “Your boss is such a jerk! Didn’t he tell you it’s dangerous there? Many real estate developers have been driven out there.”

Zhao Hengtian: Mr. Yan, I'm sorry.

Zhao Hengtian was puzzled and asked: "Why?"

The boss didn't hide it: "After Xu Ranqing jumped off the building, her mother went crazy. In fact, her mother had a hard time. She came from the countryside and only knew how to sell fruit. In fact, I think she sold fruit mainly because she wanted to spend more time with her daughter, but it's not easy to do business now. Selling fruit will also get you chased by the urban management. In addition, her daughter's school certificates were not complete, so it was a bit difficult for her to attend a public school. Later, she thought that private schools should also teach well, so she compromised. Otherwise, if the child goes to a public school, she can worry less. However, private schools will issue a bank card as a subsidy every semester."

Zhao Hengtian couldn't help sighing when he heard this, and he felt bad: "Hey! It's not easy. Is her life guaranteed now?"

The boss frowned and said, "Sometimes people from the Women's Federation would come to see her, and they would bring a comfort dog, but I've never seen her family come. Even strangers would lend a hand, and her family is even worse than strangers."

The boss was so angry that he wanted to smash a vinegar jar, but Zhao Hengtian stopped him: "Boss, let go first."

"It's my house, I have the final say, please get out of the way."

Zhao Hengtian really couldn't win the boss's favor, so he said, "Boss, I'll go over to see her and help her now. I won't talk about the land anymore. Boss, please let it go."

The boss put down his anger steadily and said sadly, "After you finish reading this, remember to tell me about her situation. I'm actually afraid that she will think of her daughter when she sees me. After all, when they moved here, they had their first meal in my restaurant."

Zhao Hengtian said: "Okay."

Zhao Hengtian was about to leave when his boss stopped him and pointed to an alley outside, saying, "I forgot to tell you where Xingfu Community is. Go in through that alley and tell people you're going to Xiaopo Street. They'll point you there. Once you're there, look at the tops of the surrounding buildings. There's a building with Xingfu Community written on it. Just go in that direction."

Zhao Hengtian said, "Thank you, boss!" Just as he was about to leave, he was pulled back. The boss reminded him again, "Don't tell her you are a developer. Just say you are from the Women's Federation and came to see her. Remember? And if she gets emotional, run away."

Zhao Hengtian listened carefully: "Remember, I will be careful."

He entered the alley that his boss pointed out to him and took the time to send a message to Yan Lubai. The alley was quiet and not crowded. Walking further in, he found a few boys playing with slingshots, so he asked, "Excuse me, how do I get to Xiaopo Street?"

One of the boys asked him to turn back and turn left. Zhao Hengtian thanked him and left. Fortunately, he asked for directions quickly, otherwise he would have missed it.

On the road, he passed a girl wearing a red hoodie. Zhao Hengtian turned around to look at her back and continued on his way.

He felt that the girl was very special, gentle yet a little murderous, but she didn't attack him, so let it be for now!

He arrived at a spacious area, looked around and found the sign of Xingfu Community, which made him sigh: Locals are the ones who know how to take the shortcut.

He followed the sign for Xingfu Community, saw a door, and walked in: it turned out to be a side door.

After entering, he had to look for the target object. There were not many buildings in the community, so Zhao Hengtian wandered around casually and came to the community park. He looked at the design of the park and thought: It would be nice if a tree could be planted in the middle. He looked to the left and saw a building with a sign.

He noticed a gray-haired lady sitting at the staircase with a comfort dog. Zhao Hengtian guessed that she was Xu Xuerui.

He didn't expect that a person who looked 30 years old would have her hair whitened overnight and become what she is now. He really couldn't imagine what she had experienced. He stepped forward and greeted her politely: "Auntie, hello."

The comfort dog just glanced at Zhao Hengtian and sat quietly. Xu Xuerui asked in a weak voice, "Are you the one they sent to persuade me?"

"No, I was sent by the Women's Federation to check on you." Zhao Hengtian did as his boss asked.

Xu Xuerui frowned and looked fierce: "Don't try to convince me. I won't move. All of you get out, get out, get out."

She picked up the broom next to her and threw it at Zhao Hengtian.

Zhao Hengtian kept saying "No."

Xu Xuerui originally wanted to get a shovel to drive Zhao Hengtian away, but she slowly realized that Zhao Hengtian was not one of those developers, so her expression softened and she said gently: "Child, I'm sorry, I'm old and confused, I hope I didn't scare you just now!"

She slowly came over and brushed off the dust for Zhao Hengtian. Zhao Hengtian smiled and said, "Auntie, I'm fine, I'm fine."

Seeing that Xu Xuerui was so excited that she seemed to be about to fall, he quickly helped her sit on a chair and asked with concern: "Auntie, are you okay?"

Xu Xuerui looked dazed: "I'm fine, I'm just a little tired."

"It's okay."

Xu Xuerui looked at Zhao Hengtian squatting on the ground and said, "Child, go back and tell them that I'm in good health and I'm fine."

Zhao Hengtian said: "They asked me to come and chat with you."

At this time, Xu Xuerui entered the stairwell, prepared a small stool for Zhao Hengtian, and instructed him: "Please sit down! It's been a long time since anyone has talked to me."

Zhao Hengtian sat next to Xu Xuerui.

Xu Xuerui said expressionlessly: "You are sitting in a room with no windows and the only door is locked. There are no holes in the wall, floor or ceiling. Under what circumstances, without opening the door, digging a tunnel, or drilling holes in the ceiling or wall, how can you leave this room?"

Zhao Hengtian thought: "Close your eyes, or turn into a very small object and pass through the wall."

Xu Xuerui shook her head: "Neither. In fact, I can never escape. I can never escape either. Others say that God closes a window but opens a door. I have no windows or doors. I have no right to close the windows or the door. I don't even have the right to escape from the room. Don't you think God is too cruel to me?"

Zhao Hengtian comforted her: “Auntie, in fact, if we don’t think about this room, it won’t be closed.”

Xu Xuerui smiled bitterly and said, "You're right. If I don't think about it, I won't be locked up. But how can I stop thinking about it?"

Seeing Xu Xuerui about to cry, Zhao Hengtian took out a pack of toilet paper from his pocket and said, "Auntie, I'm sorry. Did I say something wrong just now? It's my fault. I'm sorry."

Xu Xuerui shook her head: "No, kid, you're right, it's me who can't get out."

As Xu Xuerui was wiping, she suddenly pinched Zhao Hengtian's hands. Zhao Hengtian was frightened and reflexively took a few steps back, but Xu Xuerui's grip was too strong and he couldn't let go.

Xu Xuerui said with a horrified look, "Can you help me find my daughter? My daughter is playing hide-and-seek in this building. She asked me to go find her, but I can't find her. Can you help me?"

Zhao Hengtian struggled and said, "Okay, Auntie, please let go first, I will definitely find it for you."

Xu Xuerui let go of her hand numbly, and then said, "I'm sorry, Auntie scared you."

"it's okay no problem."

Xu Xuerui then said, "Why don't you come up and sit for a while?"

Zhao Hengtian thought that he knew some martial arts and could resolve any crisis on the spot, so he agreed and said, "Okay, Auntie, which floor do you live on?"

Xu Xuerui finally showed some joy on her face: "My home is on the 16th floor."

Xu Xuerui didn't even bother to put away the chairs, and immediately took Zhao Hengtian upstairs, and Da Huang followed them upstairs. Zhao Hengtian was about to press the elevator button, but found that the elevator had no power.

Xu Xuerui hurriedly pulled Zhao Hengtian and said, "Kid, there is no electricity in the elevator. The developers have cut off the electricity in the entire community in order to make me move out."

Zhao Hengtian asked: "Then how do you live, Auntie?"

"Burning coal! Burning honeycomb coal in the summer and coal in the winter, anyway, we can still make a living."

Zhao Hengtian couldn't imagine being in a world disconnected from the outside world. She said that if she survived, she must be in pain, but what could he do for her? Zhao Hengtian was also thinking about this question.

"Auntie, have you ever thought about trying to live somewhere else?"

Xu Xuerui frowned and looked angry: "Are you in cahoots with those people? I will never leave here, get out."

Zhao Hengtian originally wanted Xu Xuerui to come to their place to work and start a new life, but now it seems that this cannot be done. He had to apologize and said, "I'm sorry, Auntie. I'll leave now."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Xu Xuerui calmed herself down and said, "Wait, Auntie can't control her emotions. I'm sorry, please don't leave yet. Auntie will make you something delicious."

Zhao Hengtian stopped and walked towards Xu Xuerui's house.

Xu Xuerui said happily: "Child, you are so nice. It would be great if my daughter could marry a good kid like you in the future."

Zhao Hengtian didn't want to hurt Xu Xuerui's heart: "I also want to become Auntie's relative. Are you willing to live with us?"

Xu Xuerui became depressed: "Forget it! Because my daughter doesn't like me. I just hope she can study hard and have a bright future, and not suffer like her mother did."

Zhao Hengtian continued, "Auntie, I'll buy two houses. You live upstairs and we live downstairs. That's fine too!"

Xu Xuerui smiled and said, "Kid, you are such a joker. How can you have so much money?"
