After more than half a month of investigation, a notice about the Xie family appeared in the news.

The news reported that all three brothers of the Xie family were dismissed from their public positions, their property was confiscated, and Xie Xiangming and Xie Xianghong were sentenced to eight and nine years in prison respectively.

Xie Xiangjun was found to have committed a more serious crime - he beat his four wives to death and was sentenced to death with immediate execution.

Xia Guokang couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat when he saw the result. He thought to himself, it's a good thing that I didn't have the time to marry into the Xie family, otherwise I would have been implicated by them.

I don't know which great god the Xie family offended, but they were purged so thoroughly without any mercy...

At this moment, Guan Zherui's voice came from behind: "Husband, stop looking at your phone and help me carry my luggage."

Xia Guokang couldn't help but frown when he heard this, and said without even turning his head: "I can't bring it. I've had a headache these past two days... I reminded you not to bring too much luggage, but you refused to listen. Who can you blame for this situation now!"

Hearing what Xia Guokang said, Guan Zherui pouted in grievance, but did not dare to say anything more. She could only continue to carry the luggage laboriously across the water.

As the heavy rain continued, the residential area where they lived was also flooded.

The flooding of the community is not the scariest thing. The scariest thing is that some disgusting insects have hatched from the stagnant water during this period.

The worms wriggled like maggots and were made up of three colors: red, green, and yellow. They were extremely eye-catching in the water, and from a distance they looked like a bright patch of blood, which was creepy.

Experts say that this insect, like the sand vine insect, is a new species that emerged after a natural disaster. So far, it has not been found that this insect will actively attack humans, so there is no need to panic.

Although experts say this, how can people not panic?

——Their colors are bright and colorful, and they look poisonous at first glance!

Even if they are not poisonous, a group of brightly colored maggots are disgusting enough!

Fortunately, this kind of bug is only found in places with large-scale water accumulation. Since most areas in the south of the city were flooded, this kind of bug is crawling everywhere. In the northern part of the city that has not been flooded, this kind of bug has not been found yet.

Many people in the southern part of the city woke up one night to find bugs crawling up the walls and pipes, spinning and jumping in the house.

Out of fear of insects, many people chose to pack their bags and move hastily to the northern part of the city.

This is the situation of Xia Guokang and Guan Zherui's family.

They woke up yesterday and found these bugs everywhere in the house. Xia Zicheng and Teng Hao were so scared that they burst into tears, Guan Zherui also screamed, and Xia Guokang himself felt very disgusted, so they packed their luggage overnight and prepared to move to the northern part of the city with their children to rent a low-rent apartment.

…

The family of four finally arrived at their rented house, only to find that the building was packed with people seeking refuge. The mattresses were spread on the dirty floor, so wet that water could drip out of them.

Due to the lack of sunlight for a long time, the yeast in the floor fermented and gave off a foul smell. Guan Zherui pinched her nose and almost vomited.

She couldn't help thinking, fortunately they still have money to rent a house, and don't have to squeeze in with the refugees, otherwise she really doesn't want to live anymore...

A family of four dragged their luggage and finally arrived at the rented house, only to find that the previous tenant had not moved out yet.

When Xia Guokang and his family arrived, they ran into the previous tenant standing at the door, trying to ask the landlord for some flexibility.

The landlord frowned and yelled at the middle-aged woman in front of him: "Hurry up and move out! I told you that the new tenant will move in today, why are you still refusing to leave?"

Xu Yilan rubbed her hands awkwardly and said in a flattering tone: "We really have nowhere to go right now... Please, just be flexible..."

The landlord frowned upon hearing this and said in dissatisfaction, "Make concessions? You haven't paid the rent for a month! How can you ask me to make concessions? Do you think this place is a shelter? This is outrageous! I think you are looking for death! Pack up your things and get out of here!"

Xu Yilan was scolded by the landlord. She didn't dare to talk back. She just begged timidly: "...My daughter has been missing recently, so I can't pay for the time being...But don't worry, we will have money when my daughter comes back, and we will definitely pay you the rent then..."
