Mingdu Garden.
"Brother Chu, I'm telling you, these two houses are amazing!" As Little Zhou took out his keys, he chattered on, "Opposite us is the Guyun Community. There's a parking lot downstairs, and it has a wide view. The house design is definitely positive. If you don't believe me, take a look. Every room is fully furnished, and it costs 7100 a month.
"Let me see, 7000 yuan is a bit expensive." Chu Yunsheng rubbed his nose and quickly calculated in his mind. 7000 yuan multiplied by two months, it would be 14,000 yuan, and then multiplied by two houses, it would be 28,000 yuan. This was just the rent, plus the deposit, it was really expensive.
"If you don't want it, I don't have any more! Of course, there are also cheaper ones, but you don't like them, right? I don't want the top floor, I don't want the ground floor, I want the middle one, and the two houses facing each other. You won't be able to find another one in this area! " Xiao Zhou said confidently. He liked to use the word "absolutely". It was as if any house that passed through his hands was definitely good and would belong to a gunner.
While the two were talking, the door opened, Xiao Zhou walked in front, and Chu Yunsheng followed behind.
"Brother Chu, look, the floor is new, this is imported tiles, the one opposite the door is made of solid wood! The kitchen is here, the toilet is over there, there is a big bed in the bedroom, you can move in with your bag! " Xiao Zhou was talking while walking, but he suddenly noticed that there was no movement behind him. When he turned around, he saw Chu Yunsheng was standing there like an iron pillar, not moving at all.
"What's wrong, brother Chu?" Xiao Zhou walked over and asked in surprise.
Chu Yunsheng waved his hand to signal him not to talk. He walked along the wall and looked around. His face was filled with confusion.
This kind of confusion became stronger as he walked into each room. It was a strange sense of familiarity, as if he had been here before!
The bed, the closet, the table in the living room facing the door, and the window facing the road, they kept moving in front of his eyes, as if they were telling him something.
"I have been here, I must have been here!" Chu Yunsheng said vaguely.
Xiao Zhou did not think too much about it. He said in the tone of an experienced person, "Brother Chu, you're right. Houses and people are all fated. If you don't work in our line of work, you wouldn't know this. No matter how good a house is, if it's not fated, the client will always find fault with it. But when it comes to a fated house, it's like living in a previous life.
"Previous life?" Chu Yunsheng turned around and asked in surprise.
Little Zhou chuckled and said, "It's just an analogy. It's hard to explain things like fate. Aren't we fated to meet? If you didn't look for a house, we wouldn't have met."
Chu Yunsheng seemed to have been touched by his words. His face suddenly became serious and said, "take me to the next room!"
Of course, Xiao Zhou did not object. He could see that Chu Yunsheng was most likely going to buy this house. Although the rental fee was not high, it was still good to earn as much as possible. After all, the real estate market was currently in a bear market.
Now, there were not many people who could afford to buy a house. Don't think that property prices had really fallen. It was true that the price had fallen for those who had cash on hand. However, those who had cash were the rich and most of them already owned a lot of houses. With the purchase restriction policy in place, they could not afford to buy a house. Those who did not have cash had to get loans from the banks. However, the banks were a bunch of vampires. It was good that property prices had fallen, but the interest on the loans was much higher than before. When the two factors offset each other, the result was that the huge profits of the developers were transferred to the banks, and the common people did not get a single penny of benefit.
Xiao Zhou was an experienced agent. If it wasn't for the fact that he had been in the industry for many years, he would have quit a long time ago.
So he spared no effort to catch a client like Chu Yunsheng, who wanted to rent two houses in one go.
At least he could make a living first.
He immediately took out the key, opened the door of the opposite house, and continued to introduce the advantages and selling points of the house in an "absolute" tone.
Unfortunately, Chu Yunsheng did not listen to any of it. He just walked around the house, and his face became even more serious.
If it was only once or twice, it could be attributed to an illusion or a trance. But what if it was more than once or twice? What if it was three or four times?
He knew very well that there must be something wrong with him!
He also knew that panicking and being afraid would not solve any problems. He needed to be calm and analyze the situation seriously. As an engineer, this was his strength.
"Xiao Zhou, I want both of these houses. You can talk to the landlord about the details. I'm short of money right now, so I can only pay the deposit and two months' rent first. I'll pay the rest later." Chu Yunsheng immediately made up his mind.
Most of the time, he was an indecisive person. But once he realized that he could not avoid it, he would immediately go all out without any hesitation. It was just like how he sold the house to prepare the materials. It showed a trace of amazing decisiveness.
"Okay, Brother Chu, two months it is, I'll handle it. But I might not be able to hold down the rent, you know …" Xiao Zhou was very happy, but he still showed a hesitant expression.
"Seven thousand and one hundred, call me when you're done. I'll sign the contract!" Chu Yunsheng did not have the energy to bargain with him. He needed to go back and find the information he needed to figure out what was wrong with him.
…
After coming out of Mingdu Garden, Chu Yunsheng sat on the bus. He could not wait any longer, so he directly used his phone to search for information on the internet.
After searching for a while, Chu Yunsheng found that many people, like him, had the same feeling of déjà vu.
Some people felt that someone was familiar, although they had never seen that person before; some people felt that they had been to a strange place before, but they just could not remember.
There were also people who claimed that they were doing something, but as they were doing it, they suddenly felt that they had done the same thing before. It was very strange.
All of these, Chu Yunsheng found about three different explanations on the internet.
The first one believed that it was the effect of psychological suggestion. It would create an optical illusion in the memory, and it would confuse the scenes and people that you imagined in your dreams as something that really happened. When you accidentally encountered something similar again, these false memories would come out and confuse the brain's judgment.
This explanation was the most scientific, and it was also accepted by most people. But it could not explain why the scenes that you imagined or unconsciously made up in your dreams would happen to you later. It could only be attributed to coincidence.
The second one was quite superstitious. It believed that these feelings and vague memories came from the influence of the previous life. Those people that you met in the previous life, especially the ones that were unforgettable, you might meet them again in this life. In addition, the place that you were born in in the previous life, or a place that you had been to, when you went back to this life, it would also trigger the memory fragments of the previous life.
This kind of explanation did not have any scientific basis, but it was supported by a strong religious theory. There were many people who believed in this theory. But at the same time, it was not perfect. Except for people and places, it could not explain the similarity of a specific event. The previous life and this life were two different eras, and the background was completely different.
The last one was very interesting, but there was no strong scientific evidence. It could only be regarded as a kind of speculation. It believed that this phenomenon was caused by the reversal of time, which meant that when the speed was faster than the speed of light, there would be a special human feeling that would occasionally be confused.
When a person encountered a certain scene, the control nerves would transmit information to the memory nerves at a very fast speed, but at this time, the brain's reaction had not yet been transmitted to the memory nerves, which meant that the brain's processing of information was half a beat slow. So when the brain's reaction was transmitted to the memory nerves, it would make people feel that it had happened before. The key was that the cause and root of this confusion was that the transmission speed of the control nerves and memory nerves was faster than the speed of light, which led to the reversal of time and space limited to the memory!
Chu Yunsheng did not know which situation he belonged to, but it might not be important. What he needed was an explanation. Whether the explanation was the truth or not, as long as it could make sense, it would be fine. Moreover, after searching on the Internet, he found that many people had the same experience as him, so he suddenly felt much calmer.
People were such animals. When others were normal, but when they were abnormal, they would panic. But once they found out that everyone was the same, it did not matter anymore. In this point, Chinese people might be more obvious. For example, they often did not care whether they were treated unfairly, but they cared more about whether others were treated the same. As long as others were treated the same, they would feel much better. After all, it was not just him.
Chu Yunsheng's current mentality was a little bit like this. He felt that he was normal, no different from others. At most, he was just overthinking. There was no big deal, so he could sleep peacefully and prepare for the big event.
He decided not to go back. Since it was still dark, and the shops were not closed yet, he still had time. He wanted to order the supplies that could be ordered in advance, just in case it was too late.
There were a lot of things that could be bought with 50 RMB, so he needed to buy them one by one. The first one was food storage. This was the most important thing. The ancient book said that after Tian Gui was restored, the human world would be in chaos. But in Chu Yunsheng's mind, the first thing that would happen was that people might starve to death.
The reason why he rented two houses was because it was convenient for him to store a large amount of supplies. So when the outside world became chaotic, at least he would have food in his hands. He did not need to go out and fight for a piece of bread.
It was undeniable that this kind of typical self-protection mentality occupied a very important position in Chu Yunsheng's heart. As for after the 28th, there would be government officials who would come out to deal with the chaos outside, so it was not his turn to worry about it.
After getting off the bus, Chu Yunsheng decisively went back to his house. Although he had already bought the house, he could still stay there for a few days. He took another bus and went directly to the grain and oil market. Daily food could be bought in the supermarket or the vegetable market, but if he wanted to buy a large amount of food, he had to come here.
Chu Yunsheng picked a large wholesale store and asked the owner to come over.
Boss Mi did not know Chu Yunsheng's identity and purpose. He only thought that Chu Yunsheng was a new retailer. After bargaining for a while, they agreed on the transaction price and the earliest delivery date of ten tons of rice. Then Chu Yunsheng signed the contract and paid the advance payment. Chu Yunsheng did not stop for even a second, he immediately rushed to another market. There were still a lot of things that he needed to prepare, and because of the recent chaos, there was only a little more than a month left!
Chu Yunsheng deliberately kept a low profile and kept the purchase of supplies a secret. First, he did not want to attract the attention of the relevant departments. Second, he was afraid of being laughed at by his friends, colleagues, and classmates. Although he told everyone seriously, no one believed him. Instead, it attracted a lot of ridicule and ridicule, saying that he was out of his mind. It made him very depressed and angry.
But he did not know that everything he did was already being watched by others. Not long after he left the grain and oil market, someone immediately asked Boss Mi, who was trading with Chu Yunsheng, to find out what was going on.
Many reports flew into the remote laboratory building like snowflakes. Compared to Song Ying's recent behavior, Chu Yunsheng's abnormal behavior was even more obvious.
