Our neighborhood has been transported again.

Chapter 5 I believe, I believe everything
"Brother, you mean you spent all night digging such a big cellar out of your bedroom?"

Qin Ziwu turned his head in shock and rubbed his face.

"Do you believe it?"

"I believe you, of course I believe you. I'll believe you even if you say you've awakened your past life memories." Qin Ziwu looked at his older brother expectantly. "Brother, have you awakened something?" He nodded repeatedly.

Qin Ziwen said with a smile, "It's not that exaggerated. Okay, I'm just teasing you. Actually, I just obtained the card and activated the homestead."

Qin Ziwen briefly explained the existence of the home, and then summoned the small ball of light in front of him.

This home is not unique; other residents in the community will also activate it later, but this is currently considered confidential information.

Qin Ziwu understood, "So all of our time travel was caused by this home."

Dang Dang Dang.

A sound came from the balcony.

The two brothers, who were talking, stopped at the same time and looked towards the living room balcony.

Qin Ziwu pointed to the direction above his head, his eyes full of inquiry.

Qin Ziwen thought for a moment, then nodded, indicating that it was very likely the person upstairs.

The two grabbed their self-defense weapons and crept slowly toward the balcony.

The moonlight was bright, and the balcony was covered with a layer of silver frost.

The glass door leading from the living room to the balcony was locked, and the balcony was empty. The sound was coming from the right side of the balcony, as if something was being knocked on.

After walking to the end, I found a small section of a clothesline sticking out from the opposite side of the balcony, tapping on the railing.

After observing for a while, I unlocked the latch and pushed open the glass door.

Across from the balcony, a woman in a long sundress was gently tapping the railing with the other end of a clothesline pole.

The woman became visibly happier when she saw Qin Ziwen come out.

She took a crumpled piece of paper from her bosom and tossed it over.

Picking up the crumpled paper and unfolding it, one finds neat handwriting: "Hello! I am your neighbor across the hall. You must be careful of the family of three upstairs. They are not good people. The young man was sentenced to ten years for robbery and was only released last year."

When they knocked on your door this evening, I saw someone hiding in a blind spot outside your door. They might be watching you.

Qin Ziwen thought for a moment, went back to his room, found a pen, and wrote a reply on a piece of paper: "There was someone hiding when I knocked on your door."

Then throw the crumpled paper back.

After picking up the crumpled paper, the woman looked at it closely and her expression turned to surprise.

She wrote quickly on the paper and then tossed it to me.

Qin Ziwen picked up the crumpled paper; it was still written in the woman's delicate handwriting. "Thank you. May I ask if I can stay at your house for a while? I'm very scared to be alone at home. I feel safer at your house. I can help you with anything."

Qin Ziwen was taken aback. "How could you be so presumptuous? We're just complete strangers, neighbors. Why would you want to come to my house?"

If a stranger comes to my house, I'll expose myself, since I have a cellar and a small sphere of light in my home.

Moreover, Qin Ziwen did not believe that the other party was necessarily harmless just because she was a woman.

A person's good or evil has never been related to gender.

Qin Ziwen waved his hand and refused without hesitation.

Even though the woman on the other side of the balcony had her hands clasped together and was bowing repeatedly, looking pitiful.

Qin Ziwen left the balcony and locked the balcony door behind him.

As Qin Ziwen left, the woman on the opposite balcony looked very unpleasant.

Turning back into the house, I saw two men sitting inside. One of them had a scorpion tattooed on the back of his hand, while the other had a shaved head, bulging cheeks, and was chewing something.

The Scorpion man asked, "So, did he agree to let you go to his house?"

The woman rolled her eyes. "He refused."

The man sitting on the bed couldn't believe it. His cousin was so beautiful, how could the other woman resist? "Is he even a man?"

The woman in the black spaghetti strap dress gritted her teeth, "How should I know if he knows about our relationship?"

The Scorpion Man said, "Impossible. This kid just moved in; there's no way he could know about our relationship."

The woman said, "Why are you making things so complicated? You want me to sneak into the house across the street to open the door for you in the middle of the night. Aren't you afraid I'll get taken advantage of, being a lone man and woman?"

The scorpion man reached out and put his arm around the woman, comforting her, "I believe you can protect yourself, and it's safer to make a move when we're asleep at night."

I've noticed them coming back with big bags several times in the last couple of days, and they were even having a barbecue last night. I guess they found a lot of edible things.

The woman scoffed, "You're not afraid to fight him because he's strong, are you?"

The Scorpion Man retorted angrily, "How could that be! It's just that we're all in this godforsaken place now. Even if we're going to fight, we should try to keep it quiet. Otherwise, if we ruin our reputation, it'll be hard to get by. I'm only doing this for us."

The scorpion man's hand slipped under the hem of her skirt.

"Snapped!"

The woman clapped her hands and said reproachfully, "There are still people here."

The scorpion man chuckled and buried his head in the woman's chest. "Dazhuang is my brother. I trust him."

The bald man stood up. "Brother, sister-in-law, I'm going back to my room to sleep now."

The scorpion man didn't turn his head; he simply waved.

Da Zhuang and the woman's eyes met in mid-air. The woman blinked, and Da Zhuang guiltily looked away.

After Dazhuang left, intimate and lingering sounds came from the room, lasting for about a minute.

The woman lay on the bed, her face flushed an unnatural red, her chest heaving rapidly. She pinched the arm of the man beside her hard, saying, "Useless thing."

The woman wasn't satisfied and tried to pinch the Scorpion Man's waist again, but he grabbed her hand. His voice was deep and his expression serious. "Alright, stop fooling around."

"Tomorrow, try to get to know those two young men. They're full of energy, and if you take the initiative, they definitely won't be able to resist you."

The woman was a little angry. "Me, take the initiative? What do you take me for?"

The scorpion man put his arm around her waist. "Of course she's my little darling. Be good and listen to me."

The woman closed her eyes, and after a long while, she let out a soft "hmm" through her nose.

Early in the morning, Qin Ziwu, hiding behind the peephole, rubbed his legs.

"Brother, there seems to be no sound or movement outside the door. It seems like the people across the street aren't planning to come out."

Qin Ziwen shook his head, seemingly referring to something: "They're probably worried about the people upstairs."

As for upstairs
He wasn't sure either, since it was all just his own guess.

Qin Ziwu asked, "Shall we go out now? I saw people coming downstairs from other apartment buildings."

Qin Ziwen frowned and thought, "Wait a minute, there are other people upstairs in this building. We'll go out together when others come downstairs."

After all, if you arrive late, the prey in the trap might be taken by someone else.

However, if you leave home too early, there may be threats in the unknown stairwell.

We need to find a way to solve this problem once and for all, otherwise it will seriously affect our daily settlement.
