Mingdu Garden.
"Brother Chu, let me tell you, there is nothing to say about these two houses!" Xiao Zhou kept talking while taking out the keys: "Opposite is the Guyun Community. There is a parking space downstairs, the view is wide, and the room type is absolutely upright. I don't believe it. You see, every room has a full light, and all the furniture is complete. At 7,100 a month, it’s definitely a great value!”
"Let me take a look and say it. Seven thousand is a bit expensive." Chu Yunsheng touched his nose and quickly calculated silently. Multiply seven thousand by two months, which is fourteen thousand. Multiply that by two houses, which is two. Wanba, this is just the rent, plus the deposit, it's really not that expensive.
"If you don't want it, it's gone! Of course, there are cheap ones, don't you like them? You don't want the top floor or the bottom floor, you want the middle one, or two sets facing each other. You can't find it in this place. The second place!" Xiao Zhou said with confidence. He liked to use the word "absolutely", as if any house that passed through his hands was definitely good and belonged to the gunman.
While the two were talking, the door opened. Xiao Zhou walked in front, followed by Chu Yunsheng.
"Brother Chu, look, the floors are all new. This side is made of imported ceramic tiles, and the one opposite the door is made of solid wood! The kitchen is here, the toilet is over there, and there is a big bed in the bedroom. You can move in with just your bags!" As he walked and talked, he was frothing, but suddenly he found that there was no movement behind him. When he turned around, he saw Chu Yunsheng standing there like an iron stake, motionless.
"What's wrong, Brother Chu?" Xiao Zhou came over in surprise and asked.
Chu Yunsheng stretched out his hand to signal him not to speak. He walked along the wall and looked around, his face full of doubts.
This doubt became more and more intense as he entered each room. It was a strange feeling of familiarity, as if he had been here before!
That bed, that closet, the table in the living room facing the door. And the window facing the road kept shaking in front of his eyes, seeming to be narrating something.
"I've been here before, I must have been here!" Chu Yunsheng said vaguely.
Xiao Zhou didn't think much about it. In the tone of a veteran, he said: "Brother Chu, you are right. Houses and people are all destined. If you don't work in our industry, you don't know. No matter how good the house is, there is no fate. Customers can always find faults, but When you come across a house that you are destined to live in, it feels like you have lived in it a lifetime ago, and you can spot it at a glance.”
"Last life?" Chu Yunsheng turned around and asked in surprise.
Xiao Zhou chuckled and said, "It's just an analogy. It's hard to explain fate clearly. Aren't we also fate? If you didn't look for a house, we wouldn't know each other."
Chu Yunsheng seemed to be touched by his words. His expression condensed and he said: "Take me to the next door to see!"
Naturally, Xiao Zhou would not object. He could see that Chu Yunsheng was most likely going to book this house. Although the agency fee for renting a house was not high, it was good to make a little profit. Who said it was a bear market for real estate now?
The purchase restriction order is like a curse on the real estate industry. Even if you just need it, it will be beaten to death with a stick. Nowadays, there are really not many people who can afford to buy a house. Don't think that housing prices have really dropped. People with cash have lowered their prices, but people with cash are already rich. Most of them already own a lot of houses, and the purchase restriction policy is there. You can't buy it either. People without cash have to borrow money from banks, but banks are a bunch of vampires. It's good that house prices have dropped, but the loan interest is much higher than before, and the two offset each other. The result is that developers' huge profits are simply transferred to banks, and ordinary people don't get a dime of benefit.
Xiao Zhou is an old agency. If he hadn't been in the industry for many years, his business was so slow and he often struggled to survive in the cracks. He would have changed his career long ago and quit.
So he spared no effort to catch Chu Yunsheng, a client who wanted to rent two houses at once.
At least let's have some food first.
He immediately took out the key, opened the door opposite, and continued to introduce the advantages and selling points of the house in an "absolute" tone.
It's a pity that Chu Yunsheng didn't listen to a word. He only turned around in a circle, and his expression became even worse, which could be said to be solemn.
If it seems like we have seen each other once or twice before, it can be classified as an illusion or a trance, but what if it doesn’t happen once or twice? What about three or four times?
He knew very well that there must be something wrong with him!
He also knows that panic and fear cannot solve any problems now. They must be treated and analyzed seriously with a calm heart. As an engineer, this is his strength.
"Xiao Zhou, I want these two houses. You can discuss the details with the landlord. I am tight on money right now. I can only pay the deposit and two months' rent first, and I will pay the rest later." Chu Yunsheng immediately decided. .
Most of his character is like a mother-in-law, but once he finds that he can't escape, he will immediately go all out without hesitation, just like selling the house to prepare supplies against all doubts, showing an amazing decisiveness.
"Okay, Brother Chu, just two months, I'll handle it, but the rent may not be affordable, as you know..." Xiao Zhou felt happy in his heart, but there was a look of embarrassment on his face.
"Just seven thousand and one. Once you've agreed, call me and ask me to come over and sign the contract!" Chu Yunsheng didn't have the energy to bargain with him. He had to rush back to Mashan to find information and analyze what went wrong with him.
…
After coming out of Mingdu Garden and sitting on the bus, Chu Yunsheng couldn't wait any longer and directly used his mobile phone to search for information online. He was calm and no longer panicked along the way.
After some searching, Chu Yunsheng found that many people had similar deja vu illusions like him.
Some feel that someone is familiar even though they have never met before; others are when they arrive at a strange place and suddenly feel that they have been there before, but they just can't remember it.
Others claim that they are doing something and suddenly feel that they have done the same thing before, which is very strange.
For all this, Chu Yunsheng also found about three completely different explanations on the Internet.
The first type is considered to be the effect of psychological suggestion, which causes visual illusions in memory, confusing scenes and characters imagined by oneself in daily life or dreams as things that really happened. When similar events are inadvertently encountered again, these false memories It will come out and confuse the brain's judgment.
This explanation is the most scientific and accepted by most people, but it cannot explain why the scene that I imagined or unconsciously compiled in my dream was encountered or happened later. It can only be attributed to coincidence.
The second type is quite superstitious and believes that these feelings and vague memories come from the influence of previous lives, especially the people they met in previous lives, especially the unforgettable ones. You may encounter it again in this life. In addition to this, the place where you were born in the previous life, or the place you visited in the previous life, when you go again in this life. Memory fragments from past lives will also be triggered.
This explanation has no scientific basis, but it is supported by strong religious theory. There are also many people who believe in this theory, but it is also not perfect. Apart from people and places, there is no way to explain the déjà vu of a specific event. The previous life and this life were two eras with completely different backgrounds.
The last one is very interesting, and there is no strong scientific evidence. It can only be regarded as a speculation. It is believed that such a phenomenon is caused by the passage of time, that is, when the speed is greater than the speed of light, space and time are interlaced, and occasionally chaos occurs. Special human feeling.
When encountering a certain scene. The person's control nerves will transmit information to the memory nerves at extremely fast speeds, but at this time the brain's response has not yet been conveyed to the memory nerves. That is to say, the brain's processing of information is half a beat slower, so when the brain's response is transmitted When it comes to memory nerves, it will make people feel as if it has happened before. The key is that the reason and root cause of this chaos is that the transmission speed of control nerves and memory nerves is greater than the speed of light, which in turn leads to the reversal of time and space limited to memory!
Chu Yunsheng didn't know which situation he belonged to, but maybe it didn't matter. All he needed was an explanation. Regardless of whether this explanation is the truth or not, as long as it makes sense, it's fine. Besides, after checking online, many people have had similar experiences like him. My heart suddenly felt much calmer.
Humans are such animals. Everyone else is normal, but if you are not normal, you will feel panic. But once you find that everyone is the same, it doesn't matter. In this regard, Chinese people may be more obvious. For example, they often don’t care whether they are treated unfairly, but they care more about whether others are the same. As long as others are the same, they will be more psychologically balanced. Anyway, I am not alone.
Chu Yunsheng's current mentality is a bit like this. He feels that he is normal and no different from others. At most, he is just overthinking. There is nothing major. He can sleep peacefully and prepare for big events.
He simply didn't go back, taking advantage of the fact that the sky was still dark, the shops were not closed, and there was still time, he ordered the supplies he could order early in case it was too late.
With fifty yuan in hand, there are many things that can be bought, and they need to be purchased one by one. The first is food storage, which is the top priority. Ancient books say that after the sky rail is restored, the world will be in chaos, but as Chu Yunsheng sees it, Come here, the first thing you will notice is that you may starve to death.
The reason why he rented two houses facing each other was to facilitate the storage of a large amount of supplies. When chaos broke out outside, at least he would have food in hand and would not have to go out and fight for a piece of bread with others.
This typical self-protection mentality of ordinary people undeniably occupies a very important position in Chu Yunsheng's heart. As for after the 28th, there will be government figures outside to deal with the troubled times, and it will not be his turn to worry about it. .
After getting off the bus, Chu Yunsheng returned to his residence decisively. Although he bought the house, he could still live in it for a few days. He changed buses and went directly to the grain and oil market. Daily food can be obtained in supermarkets or markets, and large quantities can be bought. For grain trading, you have to come here.
Choosing a wholesale store with a large storefront, Chu Yunsheng found the owner.
Boss Mi didn't know Chu Yunsheng's identity and purpose. He only knew that he was a new retailer. After some haggling, he agreed on the transaction price and the fastest delivery date for ten tons of rice, and then signed the contract and paid the advance payment. Chu Yunsheng didn't stop for a moment, and hurried to another market. There were still many things to prepare, and because of the recent commotion, there was only more than a month left!
Chu Yunsheng deliberately kept a low profile and kept secret the purchase of supplies. Firstly, he did not want to attract the attention of relevant departments. Secondly, he had been laughed at by his friends, colleagues and classmates recently. Although he told everyone seriously, no one Believing in him only caused a lot of gossip and cynicism, saying that his head was broken and so on, which made him very depressed and angry.
But he didn't know that everything he did was already being watched. Not a moment after he left the grain and oil market, someone immediately asked Boss Mi, who was trading with Chu Yunsheng, to find out the situation.
Report after report, like snowflakes, drifted into the remote experimental building. Compared with Song Ying's recent performance, Chu Yunsheng's abnormal behavior became more obvious.
