It's just under nine o'clock.
The sun has risen, and the sunlight shines through the narrow alley and falls on the wet road.
Outside the lane is a two-way, two-lane road. On both sides of the road, the sycamore trees have not yet sprouted buds, but their bare branches are inexplicably more alive in the early spring sunshine.
In the mottled light and shadow under the trees, fireworks are curling up, and the atmosphere is full of life. There are all kinds of stalls, one after another.
In fact, Xiaohe who sent them here yesterday was not deceiving them when he said this was a prime location. This area belongs to the old city of Tao County, and the new cities that were later developed were developed around this place. Therefore, this place can be regarded as the serious center of Tao County.
Although this place is a bit old, because of its good location and convenient life, the residential population has increased in the past two years. Young people who work nearby like to live in this area, not only because it is convenient to go everywhere, but also because This place is not expensive despite its good location.
For Xu Shi, another advantage of this place is that there is less surveillance.
Xu Shi walked around the neighborhood along the busy streets. Except for surveillance cameras at a few intersections, he basically didn't see anything else.
This area is full of old houses from the last century, with narrow alleys extending in all directions, deep and complex.
Xu Shi walked around for a while, and after remembering several relatively large residential areas, he returned to the yard. Not long after he arrived, Tassie also came back, carrying large and small bags.
Taxi had basically bought all the orders Xu Shi had written to him, except for one thing.
Taxi searched several stores, and there were surveillance cameras, but none that met Xu Shi's requirements.
Taxi handed a box to Xu Shi and said: "The store said that this model is the most technologically advanced model that can be found in Tao County. It can be connected to a mobile phone through WIFI. You can directly watch the surveillance screen through the mobile phone, but the screen changes will remind you No. In addition, I made an appointment for broadband installation, and they will come to install it tomorrow at the latest.”
Xu Shi nodded. Taxi was smart and used his own brain to think about things, which really saved him a lot of worry.
He took the computer and mobile phone that Taxi had bought, briefly turned them on and tried them. After confirming that there was no problem in using them, he stopped Taxi who was about to install the surveillance system and said, "Send me a bank account number."
Taxi was stunned for a moment, and after realizing what Xu Shi meant, he waved his hands and said: "No, brother, I still have the 10,000 yuan left, and I also have some savings, which will be enough for a while. "
Xu Shi was too lazy to argue with him on this matter. While tinkering with the computer, he said, "Either give me your account, or you go back to A County. It's your choice."
Tassie lost her voice.
After a moment, Xu Shi's cell phone vibrated.
"Brother, I'm sending you a message." Taxi said muffledly.
Xu Shi hummed without raising his head.
"Then I'll install surveillance." Taxi added.
Xu Shi nodded.
After Taxi walked away, Xu Shi returned to his room with his mobile phone and computer.
At night, Xu Shi and Taxi had gone back to their rooms. When Taxi was drowsy on the bed, the cell phone placed beside his pillow suddenly buzzed. He took it and looked at it, and instantly he was no longer sleepy.
He took his cell phone and wanted to find Xu Shi, but he stopped after taking a few steps.
Taxi knew that Xu Shi's refusal to use his money was showing him that he did not want to owe him a favor. Now, Taxi follows Xu Shi, running errands for him and arranging some daily life, while Xu Shi teaches Taxi skills. In Xu Shi's eyes, this is a fair transaction. But if Xu Shi spent Taxi's money at this time, then the transaction would be unfair.
An unequal transaction will naturally require Xu Shi to pay a price at some point later.
Xu Shi knew it in his heart, so he kept this boundary very firmly.
But for Taxi, Xu Shi was the straw. If he missed it, he might never have the chance to take revenge in his life. However, he was very smart, so he resisted the urge to go to Xu Shi and return the 100,000 yuan.
There is ample time.
At least, the 100,000 yuan means that Xu Shi is satisfied with his use for the time being. If nothing unexpected happens, he should use him for a long time. In other words, he still has a long time to make Xu Shi believe in his absolute loyalty, and to make Xu Shi willing to help him at critical moments!
Tassie lay back down again, took her cell phone, and pulled out the only family photo in the photo album. After looking at it for a long time, she fell asleep again.
Xiaohe came here on the evening of the sixth day they lived in this small courtyard.
It was getting dark by then.
Xu Shi and Taxi were sitting at a small round table in the yard to eat. Suddenly there were footsteps in the alleyway. Xu Shi took his cell phone and turned on the surveillance camera, took a look at it, and then gestured to Taxi: "Open the door, Xiaohe is coming."
Taxi put down the bowl and chopsticks and went to open the door. When the door opened, Xiaohe walked to the door. The hand that was about to knock on the door froze. Xiaohe smiled and said, "What a coincidence? Are you going out?"
Without nodding or shaking his head, Taxi turned sideways to welcome him in.
Xiaohe walked in and saw Xu Shi sitting in the yard. He smiled and shouted: "Brother, it's time to eat!"
Xu Shi smiled at him and asked, "Have you eaten? If not, can we eat some together?"
Xiaohe waved his hand: "I've eaten, thank you, brother!" After saying that, he had already walked to the small round table. Xiaohe did not sit down, but bent slightly and put down an envelope on the table, "Brother Dao asked me to send it to you. "
Xu Shi took a look, nodded and said, "Okay, thank you."
Seeing that he had no intention of opening it, Xiaohe rolled his eyes and said, "Brother, please eat, and I won't disturb you."
Xu Shi stopped him: "Don't leave in a hurry, sit down."
Hearing this, Xiaohe hesitated for a moment before sitting down on the stool where Taxi was sitting just now.
At this time, Taxi brought a glass of water, then took a stool and sat down next to him. He reached for the bowl and chopsticks and started eating by himself.
Xu Shi put down his bowl and chopsticks and looked at him: "The location of this courtyard is very good. I want to continue living there. I asked around here before and found that the rent for similar courtyards nearby is about 800 a month. In this way, you guys It cost a lot of money to install a lot of furniture before. How about I pay a thousand and two dollars a month and rent it for a year first?"
Xiaohe was a little confused after hearing this, but the person who was arranged by Brother Dao to join him must be smart. He was at a loss for only a moment, and the young man immediately showed a flattering smile and said: "What are you talking about? Brother Dao said before that this yard is arranged for you. You can stay as long as you want. Please pay." How sentimental!”
Xu Shi smiled when he heard this. He was not polite to Long Dao and said directly: "Then thank Brother Dao for me. I accept this love!"
Xiaohe chuckled.
Then Xu Shi seemed to have nothing else to say. After rubbing his hands, he stood up tentatively: "Then if I don't have any other instructions, I'll go back first?"
Xu Shi nodded and said to Taxi: "Taxi, send Xiaohe a favor."
Taxi sent Xiaohe outside the alley, watched him get in the car and leave, and then returned.
When he came in, Xu Shi was holding an ID card and looking at it.
Hearing the noise, Xu Shi put his ID card on the table and said, "Go out and find some regular Internet cafes and hotels later to see if this ID card can be used."
Taxi glanced at the table. The ID card was brand new. At first glance, the photo on it looked about 70% or 80% similar to Xu Shi, but upon closer inspection, it was only 30% or 40% similar.
The name on this ID card is He Dongyang, also from eastern Guangdong, 34 years old this year.
Tassie put away her ID card, hurriedly finished her dinner and packed up, then went out.
He didn't come back until nearly eleven o'clock.
The lights were still on in Xu Shi's room, so he knocked on the door.
"Come in." After Xu Shi's voice came from inside, he opened the door and went in.
In the room, Xu Shi was leaning on the bedside reading a book. He bought the book at the morning market outside two days ago.
"How was it?" he asked.
Tassie put her ID card on the desk by the window and replied, "I tried seven or eight stores and there was no problem."
Xu Shi nodded and said, "Take this ID card and go to the Yuezhou Hotel to get a room tomorrow afternoon."
Taxi was a little confused, but she didn't dare to ask any more questions.
In the afternoon of the next day, he went to Yuezhou Hotel as Xu Shi ordered.
There was no problem at first, but just when Tassie thought there would be no problem this time, the waiter suddenly let out a sigh. Then, he looked up at Taxi and said, "There seems to be something wrong with your friend's ID card. Why don't you wait until your friend comes over to open it? Or, how about using your own ID card?"
Tassie asked him, "Any questions?"
The waiter hesitated for a moment and then said: "The photo displayed in my system is different from the photo on your friend's ID card."
Taxi pretended to be surprised when he heard this and said: "Is there a system error? Or is your system not updated? The photos in it are from many years ago, right?"
The waiter smiled politely and said, "Why don't you wait until your friend arrives in person?"
Taxi nodded helplessly: "Okay." After saying that, he reached for his ID card and turned around and left.
Back in the courtyard, Taxi told Xu Shi what the waiter said. Xu Shi couldn't help but smile and thought to himself, that dragon knife really does 'keep what it says'!
Two days later, Xu Shi asked Taxi to take He Dongyang's ID card and find a new community in the city to rent a house.
Taxi spent two days renting a two-bedroom apartment in a community called Sunshine Garden in the city.
After Xu Shi took a look, he asked Taxi to buy some things. Then Xu Shi, who originally told Xiaohe that he would live in this small courtyard forever, took Taxi to the Sunshine Garden.
After moving to Sunshine Garden for only a week, Xu Shi went out one day. Two days later, he suddenly told Taxi to move.
Then the two moved back to the old city, and their new residence was less than one kilometer away from the previous small courtyard. But Taxi's car was asked by Xu Shi to stay in Sunshine Garden.
Moreover, every day or two after that, Tassie had to go to Sunshine Garden and drive that car around the city.
Half a month later, Long Dao suddenly called Xu Shi.
"You moved away?" Long Dao got straight to the point.
Xu Shi answered honestly: "It doesn't count, it's just a cunning rabbit with three burrows."
After Long Dao was silent for a moment, he said: "The people from Xiahap were inquiring about your whereabouts the past two days. Please try to be careful when going out recently."
"Brother Dao has already broken up with Xia Hapu?" Xu Shi laughed.
Long Dao didn't answer his words, and the call was disconnected after two or three seconds.
Xu Shi put down his cell phone, called Taxi over, and said, "Give me the car keys, and don't go out during this period."
After being stunned for a moment, Taxi asked cautiously: "Did something happen?"
Xu Shi nodded: "The people from Xiahap are looking for me. It won't take long to find me at Sunshine Garden."
"Then what should we do?" Tassie asked again.
Xu Shi looked at Taxi and said nothing for a while. Tassie couldn't help but become nervous.
Just when he was wondering whether the situation this time was very dangerous, Xu Shi suddenly said: "Taxi, in matters of revenge, brains and courage are actually more important."
Tassie was stunned. Then, panic arose in my heart again.
He opened his mouth to explain, but Xu Shi had already stood up and walked away.
