Ren Limin looked at the sky outside. It was early morning. Ren Limin was also very tired. The jet lag hadn't completely reversed yet, so she ate something and rested.
At eleven o'clock at noon, Ren Limin slowly woke up. I felt a little uncomfortable in my stomach, so I got up and walked to the window, opened it and let in a cool breeze, which made me feel better. Chen Jing told herself that the community in the video was right next to Jiangbei Department Store. Ren Limin looked at her watch, changed her clothes, went downstairs, took a taxi and drove towards Jiangbei.
Jiangbei is the old industrial zone of Jiangbei City, where there are many factories and serious environmental pollution. Many elderly people are unwilling to live in Jiangbei. After they have a certain amount of savings, they buy a house in Jiangnan and settle down. As time passed, most of the people living in Jiangbei were poor old people, as well as employees working in Jiangbei factories. The biggest characteristic of this group is poverty. As a result, the communities developed in Jiangbei are also "Trinity" communities with average quality, average environment, and average services.
Jiangbei Department Store is the central business district of Jiangbei. The community near it is pretty good.
Ren Limin is not very familiar with Jiangbei. Although Jiangbei Art Institute also has a campus in Jiangbei, because there is really nothing to do here, Ren Limin has never walked around Jiangbei except passing by by car in the past few years in Jiangbei City.
After several years of development, there is only one community left around Jiangbei Department Store. This made Ren Limin find this inconspicuous place as soon as she got out of the car.
Standing outside the dilapidated gate of the community, Ren Limin took a deep breath of air: the air in Jiangbei is indeed much worse than that in Jiangnan. No wonder many old people say that after going to Jiangnan once, they never want to return to Jiangbei.
Ren Limin walked into the community and was stopped by the old gatekeeper: "Girl, who are you looking for? You look very unfamiliar!"
Ren Limin hurriedly took out the press pass she had prepared long ago - this press pass was just a temporary press pass. Ren Limin got it when attending an event, but it came in handy this time.
"Oh! Comrade reporter!" The old man saw Ren Limin's ID and smiled: "I haven't seen a reporter in many years. What do you want to do here?"
Ren Limin smiled and put her press card back into her bag: "Uncle, I came here this time to learn about the life in our community, and also for the development of our Jiangbei. After all, the living environment in Jiangbei is not very good, and we also want to do something This program will allow citizens and leaders to pay attention to our people's livelihood in Jiangbei."
"Great!" The old man clapped his hands when he heard this and said, "This is a good show! Our place should have been rectified long ago. Jiangbei is in chaos now. At night, not many people dare to go out! "
Ren Limin is not interested in these things: "Well, uncle, how is the living situation in our community like?"
"See for yourself!" The uncle came out of the hut, pointed at the residential buildings and said, "See for yourself, how dilapidated our buildings are, the paint is almost gone. You can see it now." It¡¯s not what it used to be! It¡¯s even worse inside, with water and electricity cut off every day, aging circuits, unreasonable pipelines, there are too many problems! But there¡¯s nothing we can do. People here are poor and can¡¯t afford new houses, so they can only wait for the government It can be developed here and we can relocate. Only in this way can our living environment be changed!"
Ren Limin smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, uncle, I will write these into a manuscript! By the way, I heard that there is a large open space behind our community, right?"
"Yes!" The uncle nodded and said, "As you know, this was originally a large industrial zone, and the vacant land behind it was originally a factory. Later, a community was built here, but the ownership of the land behind it has always been controversial. So a storage area was built, and any big items from other factories would be stored there!¡±
"I heard that there are people living in the storage room at the back?" Ren Limin said, "Can people live in the storage room at the back?"
The uncle didn't have any doubts about the reporter in front of him, and told everything he knew: "Yes, there are some people living there. But most of them are poor people who can't even eat. There is no other way, so they live there." It's there. Like you said, how can anyone live there?! There are all kinds of things in there, most of them are industrial supplies. The smell is very strong, and there are few small windows, and there is no sunlight. How muchbut there¡¯s no other way, it¡¯s better than sleeping on the street!¡±
Ren Limin nodded: "Thank you, uncle. I'll go inside and have a look. I'll ask some residents who live here and see their reactions!"
"Well, let's go, can you lead the way?" The uncle let him go easily.
Ren Limin smiled and thanked: "No need, uncle, you are busy with your own business, I will go by myself!"
I told the uncle?, Ren Limin walked into the community. It is indeed like what the uncle said, there is a shabby smell everywhere. After passing the several residential buildings in front, I saw the large open space.
The open space is surrounded by four rows of bungalows. There were some items sparsely piled up in the open space. Most of them Ren Limin couldn't name, but from the smell, she knew they were industrial supplies that contained severe pollution.
Ren Limin thought about the route in that video, walked to the innermost row of bungalows, and knocked on the third iron door.
"Dong dong dong" knocking on the door also seemed to hit Ren Limin's heart. She suddenly became very nervous, knowing what kind of family she would face! Ren Limin suddenly felt regretful, regretting that she had come without making any preparations, just in case that family member treated her
Just as I was thinking about it, the door creaked open.
It was dark inside, and Ren Limin looked inside. Sure enough, as the uncle said, there was only a small window on the wall facing her, and she probably couldn't get through it.
A smell like mold came out of the dark room, making Ren Limin cough a few times: "Excuse me, is there anyone?"
No one answered. Ren Limin slanted her body and looked inside. She could see some outlines of the situation under the window. There was a sofa and a small bed.
"Who are you looking for?!" A very old voice suddenly sounded. Ren Limin looked along the voice and almost screamed in fright!
An old man¡¯s head suddenly popped out from the dark room. The old man¡¯s face was just like what he saw in the video: pale and pale, with bulging eyes, sunken cheeks, shriveled skin, and sparse hair
Ren Limin involuntarily took a step back: "I, I am a reporter"
"Reporter?" The old man's old voice sounded like he just came out of the underground: "Is something wrong?"
Ren Limin tried her best to calm down: "I'm here to investigate our living conditions!"
"Haha, is it true?" The old man said with some disdain: "There are so many houses here, just knock on other people's doors!"
As he spoke, the old man made a gesture to close the door. Ren Limin hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed the door: "Uncle, can I talk to you?"
The old man turned around and grinned with his withered lips: "What are you talking about? Come in!"
Ren Limin didn¡¯t dare to go in. She was afraid that she wouldn¡¯t be able to get out if she went in: ¡°Uncle, to be honest, I found this place through a video!¡±
The old man who was walking towards the house paused, turned around and asked: "What video?"
"My boyfriend once took a video of your family!" Ren Limin was a little nervous and spoke quickly: "Two days ago, this video popped up from nowhere, and it happened to be for me to see. I'm afraid that I My boyfriend has something to do, so I just came over to see"
"He is missing?" the old man suddenly asked.
"No" Ren Limin didn't know what to say. The strange things she encountered with her tablet brought her here.
"Yes, our family hasn't gone out for more than ten years. Your boyfriend is the only person who has entered my house in these years!" The old man said quietly: "Since you want to know so much, just come in!"
Ren Limin was hesitant. The scene of the family eating raw meat appeared in her mind. Besides, the bones looked very human!
"Haha, don't worry, my grandpa won't do anything to you!" A young man's voice suddenly sounded. Ren Limin looked around and saw the same face. Only from the voice could he tell that this person was The young man, it seems, is the grandson of the old man.
In that video a few years ago, the age of this family could still be distinguished from their faces, but now, they all look like this!
"We actually have only a few years to live. We are alive now thanks to your boyfriend!" The old man said: "Come in, I will tell you whatever you want to know. I have never told anyone else, including yours." Boyfriend!¡±
Su Jianjun? ! Ren Limin once again had some doubts about this man. She suddenly realized that she didn't know much about this man, even though he was her favorite.
The two people introduced Ren Limin into the house. In order to prevent Ren Limin from being too nervous, the young man did not close the door. The sunshine outside the door made Ren Limin feel a little at ease.
"My name is You Shan, and he is my grandson, named You Chao." The old man named You Shan said: "My wife, as well as my son and daughter-in-law, are all dead. They were killed by me! "
When Youshan talked about this, there was still a trace of pain on his face: "The food you see in the video is not human bones, but the bones of cows, sheep, and horses. We are We eat raw meat, but we are slowly changing to make ourselves less perverted, but the price of this change is our own death"They were not human bones, but the bones of cows, sheep, and horses. We eat raw meat, but we are slowly changing to make ourselves less perverted, but the price of this change is our own death"
