Chapter 51: Shen Que, tell me if you have any questions

“A little bit indeed!”

Shen Que's expression was somewhat correct, he really didn't expect that he would do such a childish thing.

"What should we do now?" Meng Ci asked.

"It's okay, I have a solution!"

As Shen Que spoke, he opened a flour bag he had brought with him, then placed the bag opening on the ground and began to dig the soil above the bag opening with a knife. Under the impact of the flood, the soil went directly into the bag.

Meng Ci gave Shen Que a thumbs up, then took a bag and started digging!

The rain was so heavy that the soil the two men had just dug out was quickly washed away by the flood. After digging for a long time, they didn't find any soil left.

It was all in vain, so Meng Ci said that he was mentally ill.

However, even with this method, the two men dug for a long time, but they did not even collect half a bag of soil, and instead got their bodies covered in mud.

The two men did not give up. Finally, they walked for a distance in the forest and found a small mound of earth. They rushed over and filled two and a half bags before walking back.

As we drove the speedboat back, the sky gradually darkened and we saw more and more speedboats and kayaks on the road.

However, these people did not dare to take action openly, so the two people were still safe.

Meng Ci and the other person did not dare to delay and went all the way back to Jinshang Jiayuan.

Carrying two bags of soil upstairs, the two men saw Zhang Mingtian again as expected, and there was an annoying person next to him.

"Two brothers, what are you doing?"

Zhang Mingtian looked at Meng Ci and then at Chen Que. It was the first time he saw two people in such a mess.

He was wet all over, and his face and hands were covered in mud.

If he didn't know that the 17th floor was where only two families lived, Zhang Mingtian would have suspected that he had recognized the wrong person.

"Meng Ci, what happened to you? Were you bullied?"

Following Zhang Mingtian was Liu Jie, who was holding a bag of food in his hand.

"Who bullied you? I'll help you get revenge." Liu Jie said as he looked at Shen Que next to him.

Liu Jie evaluated in his mind that he definitely couldn't beat Chen Que, but if getting beaten up could cause Meng Ci to feel distressed, that would also be good.

Meng Cili ignored Liu Jie and turned to talk to Zhang Mingtian.

"When Shen Que and I went out to look for something, we brought back a few bags of rapeseed."

"So I went out to find some soil to see if I could grow some vegetables."

"Oh!" Zhang Mingtian nodded, "Brother is worthy of being the eldest brother. He is so far-sighted in doing things."

Going out to look for things will eventually run out of things, and it is far less convenient than growing them yourself.

"What kind of vegetables are you growing, Xiaoci? Are you having trouble finding food?"

"It doesn't matter. When I find food later, I can give you some of mine."

Liu Jie thought about what he had heard these days: Meng Ci and Shen Que went out either to look for coal or soil, and never brought back any food.

Could it be that he couldn't find anything to eat? Then wouldn't this be his chance?

"Here, Xiaoci, take these first!"

Liu Jie was thinking that after getting Meng Ci, he would suppress him every day and force him to go out to get food.

It doesn't matter if I suffer a little now and give Meng Ci more food. Meng Ci will have to double the amount in the future anyway.

What Zhang Mingtian was thinking at this moment was, is there something wrong with this person?

Zhang Mingtian knew that Liu Jie and Meng Ci had a conflict, but after knowing that Liu Jie said he could find food, he came to find Meng Ci.

After questioning, Liu Jie was allowed to join them only after Meng Ci agreed.

At first, Liu Jie behaved quite normally in front of them, why did he start talking nonsense now?

"Brother, this is what we went out to find today, keep it."

Meng Ci took the food but still didn't even look at Liu Jie.

This thing was what Zhang Mingtian and the others had promised to give me, so there was no need for me to get angry about the food.

"By the way, I think I have some extra rapeseed. If you need it, I can get you two bags!"

Zhang Mingtian naturally wanted it.

It has been raining heavily for more than 40 days. Even if you go out to find food, the vegetables will have rotted long ago.

Eating instant noodles every day will lead to a lack of vitamins in the body.

Several of them have started to suffer from constipation, and some even have mouth ulcers, and they are afraid to eat at all.

Meng Ci and Shen Que carried the soil upstairs, while Zhang Mingtian was waiting behind the wall built by Meng Ci and his team.

As for Liu Jie, Zhang Mingtian directly asked him to go back first.

This will prevent this guy from saying nonsense again and making the two big brothers angry, and then they won’t get any benefits.

After Meng Ci entered the house, he took out five bags of vegetable seeds from the space, including tomatoes, bok choy and other vegetables.

Meng Ci wanted to make friends with Zhang Mingtian because he felt that he was a man of his words and a reliable person.

"Thank you, thank you!" Zhang Mingtian took the rapeseed and thanked repeatedly, and said that he would give it to him when he found the soil later.

After Meng Ci returned, he went into the space to take a shower, put the clothes he changed into a plastic bag, and planned to throw them away directly when the time came.

It was too late, so Meng Ci took out a spicy dish from the space, ate it, and went to sleep.

"Ah, help!"

"Bang!"

In the middle of the night, Meng Ci was awakened by a voice, and from the sound of it, it seemed to come from Chen Que.

And something seemed to have fallen into the water.

He took the intercom from the table and pressed the button.

"Chen Que, Chen Que, what's wrong?"

Soon the intercom was connected.

"It's all right."

"I just heard a noise outside the window, so I got up and opened the curtains to take a look."

"I didn't expect there was a person standing outside the window. When he saw me, he was so scared that he fell down."

Moreover, he recognized the person, and it seemed to be He Xian who was driven away from Zhang Mingtian.

"Oh!" Meng Ci nodded. "There is no guardrail on the glass over there. You should pay more attention to safety. Call me if anything happens."

"Um."

Knowing that Chen Que was fine, Meng Ci hung up the intercom, yawned and continued to sleep.

The next day, it was time for the army to distribute food, but Meng Ci did not go down to receive it because he was too tired yesterday.

Before the rainstorm, there were 55 permanent residents in this building, with a population of nearly 150.

During the 47 days of heavy rain, some elderly people and children died, and some people were probably extremely hungry. Sometimes they got a foam board or a swimming ring and went out, but very few of them came back, so now there are only about 90 residents left.

Meng Ci was quite surprised by this data.

But think about it and you will understand that these people can only maintain basic vital signs by eating a packet of instant noodles a day, but it is impossible for them to fill their stomachs.

Many people also realized that someone was stealing things outside, so they took the instant noodles and stayed at home, blocking the door tightly to avoid any trouble.
