dark crossing

She wasn't even sure if her name was Fan Fang.

When she was three years old, she was thrown by her parents at the gate of Zhenmei Mental Hospital, which was famous for its "benevolence and righteousness".

The dean never refused to come to the pretty girl, so he generously adopted her.

In Zhenmei's basement, there are many children who are similar to her age.

But unlike those children, Fan Fang has no mental problems. She is very healthy and willing to think.And she knew there were other kids living in the basement because she heard conversations in her room with the adults she "played" with.

They praised the other children for doing well in her presence.

The person who lived next door was probably a fool. I heard it was a boy, and he never complained of pain when he was bleeding from the back.

But Fan Fang was different, when she was nine years old, she knew how to cry and cry out in pain, to annoy the men pressing on her, so as to shorten the stay time.

At the age of ten, she began to think about how to escape from the mouse hole in the corner.A sharpened stainless steel spoon is also hidden for this purpose.But until the spoon was broken, the hole was only not much bigger than her palm.

She also thought of many other ways, but none of them worked.For example, when the "guests" come to visit, get out of the gap among them, and then run away with bare feet. If you are lucky, as long as you find the right way, she will be able to escape from the basement.But soon, Fan Fang knew that this method would not work.

Because through the gap that only appeared when there were guests visiting, she found a man with a vigilant expression standing behind the guests.She cannot escape from his grasp.

But Fan Fang was not discouraged, she was thinking about how to escape every day.

When she was 14 years old, a young guest surnamed Chu came frequently.

He is the best-looking one among the guests, and also the most reasonable one.

So, she acted like a baby to him, saying that she wanted to see the park outside.

Chu Zhensheng was only in his 30s at the time, and he knew very well that a child from a family like himself who liked young girls must never let his family know.

So in the face of Fan Fang's request, Chu Zhensheng, who had bought her books, TV sets, and even game equipment, hesitated for the first time.

But in the eyes of the smart Fan Fang, hesitation means possibility.

So she persevered and worked hard.Finally one day, Chu Zhensheng softened his heart and agreed to take her to the park.

And she also seized the once-in-a-ten-year opportunity, taking advantage of Chu Zhensheng's chance to help her get the kite on the tree branch, and slipped away with oil on the soles of her feet.

But ironically, due to her young age and lack of education, Fan Fang has no other life skills.Therefore, I went back and forth and returned to my old job of picking up customers.

But despite doing the same thing, at least you can breathe free air.

The basement is small and smelly. During the rainy season, the quilt is wet, and mold spots can even grow on the walls.And often the old mold spots have not peeled off, and the new ones have been covered, and it is like this year after year.

Outside, the years passed faster. At the age of 19, Fan Fang made his first friend in life, Cheng Hong.

The little girl is from the countryside, simple and shy.After picking up the guests for the first time, I went back to the dormitory, hid in the bathroom and took a shower for more than an hour.The girls queuing outside with pots waiting to take a bath exploded.

This reminds: "How long has it been in the bath! After these few 10 minutes, my mother's fetus has been aborted!"

That one went on to scold: "Xiaolang's hooves can't be washed into white lotus flowers for a year, come out quickly!"

Even more aggressive, he directly pushed the crowd away and slammed the door: "Get out, what are you doing dead in there for so long! We still don't want to wash it!"

Cheng Hong cried and bit her lips and dared not respond. There were seven people in the dormitory, and she probably offended them all today.

When she came out in her pajamas, only Fan Fang didn't show her face.Because Fan Fang received a very rich guest that day, and the tip was two hundred. Mom Sang took half of it, and she could keep one hundred. Ants are beautiful when they are in a good mood, so instead of staying with everyone Pushing Cheng Hong aside, he even raised his head and smiled at her.

Cheng Hong was so grateful that she became Fan Fang's little follower from that day on.

Later, Fan Fang was recognized by the guests who came to have fun.That person used to work as a security guard in Kangren, the former Zhenmei, and he specialized in managing the little girl in the basement, so he used Fan Fang's whereabouts to exchange a large sum of money with the dean.

Whether it was Zhenmei before or Kang Ren now, Fan Fang was the only one who escaped successfully.It is impossible for the courtyard to let such a ticking time bomb just float in Jianghu.

Soon after, Fan Fang was followed and hunted down by a mentally ill patient.In the narrow and dark alley, both she and Cheng Hong were stabbed by each other.Cheng Hong, who rushed over to protect her, was pierced through the entire abdomen by the dagger, and the other party frantically stabbed Cheng Hong more than 60 times like a paranoid murderer.

He stuck the dagger used in the crime in Cheng Hong's body and left without looking back.

Fan Fang is so smart. When she was stabbed for the second time, she pretended to faint, and let Cheng Hong in front of her stand in front of her and was stabbed like a sieve.

She knew that the person who did it should be a psychopath, and she also knew that a psychopath didn't have to pay for killing someone.These were all the things their supervisors kept talking about when they were still in the mental hospital.

"Don't even think about running away. The outside is not better than here. At least there is food and drink here. What about outside? There are more wolves, tigers and leopards outside, eating people without spitting out their bones. If you go out, you will not be killed outside. There are also ways to turn you into ghosts who can’t speak human language. You all know where this is? Mental hospital, I have patients here, and it’s not illegal for lunatics to kill people! If you don’t believe it, you can try it.”

Fan Fang couldn't help laughing secretly at the guard's high-spirited look: "There are only people in your place?"Talk like you can do it master.

She knew that although this discipline was playing prestige in front of the children, he was just a watchdog for them.

The scattered books and acquired knowledge enabled the smart Fan Fang to learn to "read minds". She is vigilant and sensitive, and is good at amplifying the words in other people's words, and she can also guess the emotions of others by looking at their faces.

She could see that Xiaohong was really kind to her.So after replacing Cheng Hong, she also wanted to follow Xiaohong's last wish and stop doing this job.But she really didn't know anything else, so she fell back to her original profession after a while.

It's just that she made a rule for herself, she must never use the phone number Cheng Hong left her to pick up any customers.The reason why she kept that number was entirely to commemorate Cheng Hong.

Instead, Fan Fang used two different phone calls to live out a double-faced Cheng Hong.On the one hand, she rejected all the customers who called Cheng Hong's old number, on the other hand, she opened a new number, under the pseudonym Honghong, and started the flesh and blood business again.

After changing her name, her luck has been good.In the past few years, not only has she become the mother of all the shares in the club, but the house given by the previous guest has to be demolished.

The dilapidated and unremarkable bungalows on weekdays occupy a bronzing lot. Calculated, the compensation for demolition is at least 40 yuan per square meter, which is really shit luck.

Knowing that she was about to become a demolition household, the girls in the club often joked about it, saying that she was going to become a little rich woman.

Cheng Hong, a little rich woman, is in a good mood recently. Although the streets are full of demolition slogans such as "Move the old house as soon as possible, enjoy happiness as soon as possible", the neighbors outside are all discussing how to move later, asking the demolition party for money .

"Oh! Let me tell you, there must be benefits to moving later! You haven't heard that there was a nail household by the riverside, who refused to cooperate with the move, and lost hundreds of millions!"

"Yes, yes! It's best to move all the children's hukou back as soon as possible! Those who have brothers and sisters, don't forget to move their hukou in too!"

"Auntie, it's different now." Shen Ting answered with a smile while carrying a briefcase: "In the past, it was counting heads to compensate for the demolition, but now it's 'counting bricks'."

Counting bricks refers to compensation according to production certificate and area.

Seeing that the neighbors who were discussing together turned their faces suspiciously, Shen Ting smiled again, because being handsome has a natural advantage, several aunts gathered around and asked: "Young man, you seem to understand it very well." .”

Shen Ting nodded: "I've checked everything. If you want to pay more in cash, you'd better choose full currency and get rewards."

An aunt immediately said, "You want money? You must want a house! You still have to buy a house to live in after you get the money! I heard that relocation houses are much cheaper!"

This aunt is also very knowledgeable, Shen Ting continued to help Chu Huainan make paste: "It also depends on personal needs, after all, whether you bring the house with you or not, you can still spend the money in your pocket. The current rent-to-sale ratio With such a low price, it’s quite a bargain to rent a house.”

"That must not work! We locals rent a house to live in, and if it spreads, it will make people laugh to death!"

"That's right! Anyway, it's better to move later and ask them to pay for the house."

"It's the same for moving later, but the reward is less—" Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by an aggressive aunt: "No way! My son majored in finance! He said we It’s better to move later! Because the money of these real estate companies is also a loan! If we procrastinate for one day, they will have to pay one more day’s interest, and the interest they pay will be allocated to us casually, and it will be enough to make us rich! "

"That's right!" Another old man in a white vest looked at Shen Ting vigilantly: "Young man, you are from the demolition company, right? Otherwise, why do you always help them talk?"

Shen Ting was waiting for him to ask. Hearing this, he immediately picked up the briefcase in his hand: "I'm indeed here to do a willingness survey."

The old man gave him a contemptuous look, and the neighbors who were chattering all kept their mouths tightly shut, and the crowd who gathered to talk immediately dispersed.

Although he pretended to be a staff member of Yuannan's willingness to demolish and relocate, after all, the main purpose was not for this. Therefore, Shen Ting did not continue to take over Chu Huainan's entanglement with the issue of compensation for demolition and relocation.

He was very satisfied that he had left a deep impression of "the demolition party" in the minds of every neighbor, so he led people and started knocking on the door of each house to inquire about the situation.
