Chapter 1937 Purgatory on Earth

Pi Yangyang and others followed the woman in and came to the third floor of the building on the left.

As soon as she went upstairs, someone greeted the woman, "Sister Yan, is there someone else renting the room?"

The woman didn't even look at the man and went upstairs with her fat hips twisted.

The stairs were narrow and shaky. As a few people went up, they heard the clattering sound of mahjong tiles.

Along the way, people were coming in and out, men and women, old and young, and it seemed very lively.

This place is like another world, giving people the feeling of returning to the 1960s and 1970s in China.

Pi Yangyang, Chu Ge and others endured the various strange smells coming from their noses and followed the woman into a room.

There was an office desk in the house, a set of damaged leather sofas, and a coffee table with a broken leg and tied with wire.

A fat man was staring at something on his laptop. When he heard someone open the door, he quickly closed the computer and looked at Pi Yangyang and others strangely.

"Get lost, what nonsense are you looking at again..."

The woman went over and yelled.

The man looked embarrassed and quickly stood up and gave up his boss chair.

"Tell me, what kind of house do you want to rent?"

The woman sat down, spit out the cigarette from her mouth, and asked.

Meng Ziyan quickly took out a pack of cigarettes, took out two and handed them over, saying, “We are not renting a house, we want to ask you about your family…”

The woman's expression changed slightly, and her tone became cold: "If you don't want to rent a room, why don't you come in?"

Meng Ziyan said: "It's like this, these people just came from China, and they may have a relative living here, so..."

"Relatives, what relatives? Do you have names?" The woman lit a cigarette and asked impatiently.

Meng Ziyan quickly said, "A family of three, the man is called Qu Yongnian, the woman is called Shen Xian, and they have a daughter named Qu Na...Do they live here?"

Unexpectedly, the woman spread her hands, relaxedly lay down on the chair, and said, "There are so many people living here, how can I remember them all?"

As he spoke, he pulled out a book that looked like an account book from a shelf nearby and flipped through it casually.

"Think about it carefully?" Meng Ziyan suppressed his displeasure. "This family is easy to recognize. The man looks like a big boss, and the woman looks like a wealthy lady. Their daughter is also very beautiful and likes to walk in a wiggly way..."

"You're talking nonsense! There are so many people here who look like bosses!" The woman seemed impatient and threw the booklet on the table. "Big boss, rich lady? If a big boss or a rich lady could really live here, would they?"

Meng Ziyan choked and looked at Pi Yangyang in confusion.

Pi Yangyang smiled calmly, took out two knife coins from his pocket, slowly placed them on the table, and said with a smile: "Sister Yan, please think about it carefully. We are really anxious to find them..."

A smile finally appeared on Sister Yan's fat face. Staring at Pi Yangyang with stars in her eyes, she said, "Handsome boy, it's not that I don't remember, it's just that there are too many people living here...it's hard to remember. Since you're in a hurry to find someone, I'll help you check..."

As she spoke, she took the two knife coins and stuffed them directly into her bra.

Then, she picked up the booklet and asked again, "Handsome boy, do you know when they arrived in San Francisco?"

Meng Ziyan nodded quickly, "I know, I just moved out of my house last month..."

Sister Yan glanced at him, said nothing more, and opened the booklet to look for it.

Soon, her gaze stopped at one place and she said, "Shen Xian...is her name Shen Xian?"

Meng Ziyan said: "Yes, one of them is called Shen Xian."

"That's right, they did rent a house here last month..."

Sister Yan closed the booklet, breathed a sigh of relief and said.

Pi Yangyang also breathed a sigh of relief.

He was originally worried that if Shen Xian's family didn't rent a house here, where should they find one?

Now that we are here, it will be easy.

"Sister Yan, could you please tell me where they live?"

Pi Yangyang thought for a while and asked again.

Sister Yan said with a look of disgust: "It's in the basement of Building B, Room 27. Do you want me to take you there?"

Pi Yangyang took out two more knife coins and placed them on the table, saying, "Then I'll trouble Sister Yan."

Sister Yan smiled so hard that her face was wrinkled and the powder on her face was cracked like an earthquake. She grabbed the knife coin and stuffed it into her bra again, then stood up and said, "The handsome boy is still sensible."

Then he stared at the fat man and yelled, "Fatty, take them there!"

The fat man was obviously afraid of her. He nodded immediately, turned around and walked out the door.

"Follow the fat guy, he will lead you to the place."

Sister Yan came out with a cigarette in her mouth and her hips twisted. She walked to Pi Yangyang and suddenly glanced at him with her eyes slanting.

Pi Yangyang felt a chill and quickly followed the fat man out of the room and went downstairs.

I heard Sister Yan's loud voice from behind, "Make room, I'll play with you guys for a few rounds..."

After going downstairs, the fat man led them to the building in the middle.

The buildings on the left and right are okay, with plenty of light and not so dark.

The building in the middle is blocked by the two buildings next to it, making it look much darker.

Especially since Shen Xian's family lives in the basement.

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, Pi Yangyang, Chu Ge and others would never have believed that people could live in this basement.

In the dimly lit, narrow corridor, various daily necessities were placed, even a gas stove and a washbasin.

The ground was damp and slippery, and the air was filled with the smell of mold, decay, and some unknown odor.

As I walked along, I found that the doors of many rooms were open, but it was pitch black inside and I didn't know if there was anyone inside.

Occasionally, the dull roar of a man and the panting of a woman could be heard from the room, but the fat man seemed to be used to it and quickly shuttled through the aisle with Pi Yangyang.

After walking about ten meters, he suddenly shouted at a dark house: "A Bing, you want to die? You're still smoking! Get out of here and don't stink up my house here..."

But no one responded, and the fat man didn't stop and continued walking forward.

Chu Ge was a little nervous. He quietly pulled Pi Yangyang's arm and whispered, "What the hell is this place? Will your aunt and her family live here?"

Pi Yangyang frowned. He also doubted that Shen Xian's family would actually live in such a hellish place.

But soon, the fat man stopped and pointed to a house with an open door in front and said, "Number 27 is here. They live here."

Pi Yangyang looked into the house in surprise, but it was pitch black inside and a pungent smell of alcohol wafted from the room.

He vaguely heard some sounds inside, probably someone was there.

"Damn, these foreigners don't even want to turn on the lights..."

The fat man cursed as he walked into the room, fumbled around the door, and turned on the light in the room with a "click".

As the lights came on, Pi Yangyang was stunned by the scene before him.

The dark and damp room didn't even have windows. Less than ten square meters in area, it was completely empty except for a double-decker iron bed against the left wall.

On the lower level of the iron bed, a man was lying, holding a bottle of wine in his hand, staring at them with bloodshot eyes and a dazed expression.

Pi Yangyang recognized him at a glance. This man was Su Xueqing's uncle Qu Yongnian.

Qu Yongnian was obviously drunk, and very drunk.

Beside the bed, there were several wine bottles scattered around.

"Brother...is this the person you are looking for?" Chu Ge asked, covering his mouth, almost not daring to breathe.

Pi Yangyang hummed, "He is Su Xueqing's uncle."

"Oh my god, he's a drunkard..." Chu Ge said in surprise.

The fat man said, "I've found the person, I'm leaving."

He couldn't stand the smell of alcohol in the room and left quickly.

"Meng Ziyan..." Qu Yongnian looked blankly at the few people who suddenly appeared. Finally, his eyes locked on Meng Ziyan. He struggled to sit up and shouted angrily, "You bastard, how dare you come here?"

While yelling, he smashed the bottle in his hand towards Meng Ziyan.

Meng Ziyan’s expression changed, and he quickly dodged and said unhappily: “Do you think I want to find you?”

Qu Yongnian didn't seem to understand and said angrily, "We've already given you all our money, what else do you want?"

Meng Ziyan's face twitched a few times, and he said, "With that little money you have, it's not even enough for a plane ticket! Do you think you can eat, drink, and defecate here for a few months without spending any money?"

Qu Yongnian said, "You bastard! My daughter has already married you, and you're settling scores with me? Nana must have been blind to marry an ungrateful person like you..."

Meng Ziyan trembled all over and gritted his teeth, saying, "How dare you talk about Qu Na? Don't you know who she is?"

Qu Yongnian stood up shakily, looked around, picked up an empty wine bottle, and smashed it hard at Meng Ziyan.

Pi Yangyang quickly grabbed his wrist and shouted, "Qu Yongnian, wake up!"
