Little Farmer Big Star

At the intersection of Baker Street, Old Town, Longtown.

Li Fan, Su Qing, Qin Yulin, and Tang Ying stood and watched for a while before walking along Baker Street.

The streets are trending from north to south. The total length of the two sections of the intersection is about 500 meters, and the average road width is about 4 meters. Several people walk from the south to the north.

The whole street is very deserted, with few pedestrians passing by. Except for duplex apartment and residential buildings, there are no other buildings on both sides of the street, and there are almost no shops or shops.

Su Qing said with some doubts: "This street seems to be too deserted, and the deserted feel a little abnormal. Although it is the old city, the location is not remote. It can even be said that the location is good, with apartment houses on both sides. The building looks good, and it stands to reason that it shouldn't be so deserted here."

Tang Ying said: "Those apartment buildings do look good, but almost all seem to be empty and there are no people living. This may be the reason why this place is so deserted."

Qin Yulin said: "Sister Jing Yingying said that, I also feel that there are no people living in those apartments. This is really strange. The apartments look good, and the location is OK. Why are there no people living?"

Li Fan said: "Perhaps there is a reason we don't know, or there is no reason. Over time, it will naturally become the current situation."

Qin Yulin said: "It's a bit strange, by the way, brother-in-law, you came to this street deliberately. Did you know that this street is a bit strange before?"

Li Fan smiled and said, "Where do I have such great abilities? I am interested in this street for no reason. Besides, as I said just now, we think this street is a bit strange, but their locals may not be good at it. It feels strange because they are used to the desertedness of this street."

Qin Yulin said again: "That's true. This street is not long. Except for a few apartment and residential buildings, there is nothing special about it. It's just an ordinary street, and it seems normal to be deserted."

Several people walked while discussing, and after a few minutes they reached the end of the street. Several people were planning to return to the same way. They went to the section of the street opposite the intersection just now, but suddenly they heard a "creak", something like The sound of opening the door.

On the deserted street, the sound was quite loud, and all of them turned their heads and looked in the direction where the sound came from.

Sure enough, at the end of the street, the door of a duplex apartment was being opened. "Which apartment is inhabited?" This was the first thought that came up in the hearts of several people.

The door is a double iron door. Now the left half of the door is opened. Perhaps the door is a bit heavy, or the person who opens the door has less strength. The half of the door is opened very slowly, and the sound of "creaking" is also affected. It dragged a long time.

When the door opened at a certain angle, a pair of skinny hands with endless years of vicissitudes stretched out, grabbed the edge of the door, and continued to open the door.

Judging from these two hands, the owner of these hands must be quite old, no wonder it can feel that the people inside open the door quite hard.

The door was finally opened slowly, and an old man walked out of it, probably in his seventies. The old man’s body seemed to be quite tough, because the old man’s hand was still dragging a rather small linen pocket. The pockets were bulging, obviously full of things.

Although the old man walked slowly, he stepped on every step with ease.

Not far from the gate, a rickshaw was parked, and the old man was walking in the direction of the tricycle. Seeing this, it seemed that he wanted to put the linen pocket he was dragging on the tricycle.

Li Fan believes that this is not very difficult for the elderly, but Li Fan still stepped forward and said, "Hello, old man, do you need help?"

The old man’s ears are not bad. Li Fan didn’t deliberately amplify the sound, but the old man heard very clearly. He stopped, looked at Li Fan, and said with a smile, “Thank you, young man. In fact, I need to Bag things, put them on that tricycle, if you help me, I think I will be a lot easier."

Li Fan smiled and said, "I am very willing to help, so let me help you."

After speaking, Li Fan took the pocket from the old man, and when he mentioned it, he was a little surprised. The weight of the pocket turned out to be quite heavy, about fifty catties.

This weight is of course not worth mentioning for Li Fan, but the old man can drag it, which shows that his body is indeed quite tough.

When the old man opened the door, he obviously felt quite strenuous. It seems that the door itself is not easy to open, and it should be maintained again.

Such a thought flashed in Li Fan's mind, and then he carried his pocket to accompany the old man and walked slowly towards the tricycle.

Lifting the pocket in his hand, Li Fan probably guessed what was in the pocket, it should be a waste product such as a cardboard box.

"Does the old man want to sell these waste products?" Another thought flashed through Li Fan's mind.

As the old man walked, he looked at Li Fan, and said with a smile again: "Young man, your strength is very strong. This bag of things weighs fifty kilograms, but it feels as light as it is in your hand. Nothing is normal."

Li Fan laughed and said, "The old man praised me. I usually pay more attention to exercise, and my strength is indeed greater than that of ordinary people."

The old man nodded and said, "Young man, if you guessed correctly, you should be from China. You came to Langdun City for fun."

"Oh?" Hearing what the old man said, Li Fan looked at the old man again with interest and smiled: "Why is the old man so sure?"

The old man smiled heartily and said, "Because when I was just about to open the door in the apartment, I vaguely heard someone speaking in Chinese outside. Although I didn't understand it, I was sure that it was Chinese. And you brought three A very beautiful female companion, it is very likely that she is here to travel. Moreover, perhaps only a country with outstanding talents can have such a beautiful woman."

Li Fan also laughed after hearing this: "The old man’s judgment is indeed very accurate. I am indeed from China and I came to Langdun City for a trip. By the way, old man, have you always lived on this street? I just went from the street. When I walked over there, I found that the residential buildings on both sides of the street seemed to be empty, which seemed a bit strange."

After hearing this, the old man sighed and said: "Those residential buildings are indeed empty. Now I am the only one living on the whole Baker Street. I have lived here for decades."

"Sure enough." After Li Fan thought about it this way, he said: "Old man, why is this? I think the living environment here is good, why is no one willing to live here?"

The old man shook his head and said, "I don't know why. The popularity of this street has always been low. There were still a few families living in the past, but they all moved out one after another. I have lived on this street for ten years. Years. People seem to have forgotten this street. This is indeed something that will make people regret and feel very puzzled."

Li Fan nodded and didn't continue to ask. It is indeed difficult to explain the reasons for some phenomena.
