Hard times have room

Chapter 244 Determining the House
After packing up, Paulin carried her schoolbag directly, with a bamboo hat in her hand, and went out in a happy mood.

As soon as she walked out of the 503 dormitory, she found that there seemed to be a lot of people in the student dormitory. The corridors were very lively. Many of them were parents with their children, holding things in their hands and walking in a hurry.

Most of them had some parts of their bodies wet from the rain. It seems that the weather today is not very friendly to them, but it is better than yesterday, at least the rain is a little less.

Walking on the small road of the campus, many people walk in twos and threes, just don't know if they are new high school students or senior high school students who are already familiar with each other?
But even though there are many people, she doesn't know any of them. This feeling is not bad, at least she is in a happy mood now.

After leaving the school gate, Pauline went directly to the department store opposite, turned her back to the door of the department store, took out a small book that recorded what her father said on the Ghost Festival, and walked to the right first, because her father only said I went to the department store, but I didn't say where I went.

Not long after she walked, it was time to turn the corner. On the left is No. [-] Middle School, and on the right is the station leading to the station. She had already walked this road when she took her parents to the station. There seemed to be no alleys on this road. There are no rows of blue-brick and large-scale tile-roofed houses. At this point, the possibility of going to the right is basically ruled out.

After thinking about it, she still returned, and she still felt that it was more likely to go left.

This time, after walking about [-] meters, she saw a small fork in the road. It was a road entirely paved with bluestone slabs. Now it's raining, and the rain falls on the slabs. It looks very smooth and clean, a small alley. , The houses on both sides of the alley are brick houses.

Her intuition told her that it might be here, but she wasn't sure, so she just walked in tentatively and slowly walked and watched in this alley, like a little local girl who entered here by mistake I was fascinated by the beautiful house in the house, and I couldn't change my eyes.

In fact, she was looking at the largest yard that Wang Jiandang said, but unfortunately, she walked from the outside to the innermost end, her eyes were dying, and she couldn't tell which house was big just from the outer walls and gates.

The end is not the end, but two alleys that go in different directions. It seems that this is what her father said, and these alleys should be connected to other alleys.

After thinking about it, she still gave up finding the house in the black market with her own naked eyes, or it was more reliable to see who often came in or out. I can't find a place by myself.

But before that, she has to feel the alleys that extend in all directions, otherwise, when it's time to run, she doesn't know the surrounding terrain, and runs directly in front of people or into a dead alley, it will definitely suffer, although, she Usually, I will definitely be careful and careful when doing things, but it is right to be more careful.

When she thought of it, she did it. She took out her pen and paper directly from her schoolbag and walked slowly through the alleys and alleys. When she remembered the alleys and alleys of this place almost, she was also hungry.

For lunch, she took a bamboo tube out of her bag and drank some porridge casually.

After lunch, she went back to the alley where she had just entered, sat on the threshold of a house she had just found with the door closed, took out her dictionary, took out a book, and wrote and drew on it, no one was there. Notice that the little girl is watching this.

After waiting for more than three hours, her buttocks were hurting, and the effort paid off. She was basically sure which one it was.

Although other houses come and go, people come and go from time to time, but there are men and women, old and young, or they only come in and out once or twice, and then there is no movement.

But in the innermost part, the door of the third-to-last house had been knocked on eight times in the past three hours. Most of them were young men and women. When they knocked on the door, they looked around, obviously guilty.

Among the people who knocked on the door eight times, there were five men and three women. Except for an old woman with gray hair, the rest were young adults in their twenties to forties.

Knock on the door, the door opens, and the person who knocks on the door enters the door. The process from the door opening to entering the door does not exceed five seconds. There should be no secret code.

After that, at least a few minutes, as many as ten minutes and half an hour, these people came out one after another. Except for the third middle-aged man who entered, he went in and never came out again. It should be a black market staff member.

For sellers and buyers who do not belong to the black market, the transaction in this place is still safe, because there are ordinary people living next to this small courtyard. On the other hand, those who are generally involved in the black market should be ruthless characters, and they should be vigilant.

When she found a place, Pauline didn't rush to the door to trade immediately, it was too sloppy.

Paulin, who didn't want to waste this afternoon, walked out of the alley. She remembered that there was a public toilet next to the department store, and she had to dress up to go.

As soon as I entered the toilet, an indescribable smell came straight to my face and nose. On a rainy day, the smell of this public toilet is not an ordinary ecstasy.

However, business matters, she endured it.

So, after more than 20 minutes, a woman in her twenties, with an ordinary appearance and even a little ugly face, walked out of the public toilet. She had dark skin and heavy eye circles. It was obvious that she had not slept well for a while. Short, but at this time, it is not uncommon for people with a height of 1.4 meters to be around at this time.

She is carrying a big basket behind her, covered with a piece of oilcloth. In this rainy day, she is not wearing a straw hat, but a straw hat. Although it is a bit strange, it is very inconspicuous. After all, at this time, straw hats and straw hats It's what most people wear on rainy days.

This is Pauline after dressing up. The clothes are old clothes, full of patches. She looks a little small when she wears it on her body. shelf.

There are rag shoes on the feet, the heel is covered with a height-enhancing insole, the upper is black and yellow, and there are patches and holes, and the big toe is almost exposed, which makes people feel that she is not hygienic. , This shoe has not been cleaned for a long time. After people have seen it, I definitely don't want to take a second look.

Pauline dressed herself up as a young woman who knew that she was sloppy and had a hard life at first glance. There should be quite a lot of this, it is quite common, and sloppy effectively curbs the curiosity of others.

The straw hat is because I only have a bamboo hat, so I can't wear her hat that is much bigger than others'. Row.
