Chapter 14: The supermarket is full of thieves

The food portions seemed to be smaller than before, but things like instant noodles and noodles were still available last time I came.

But now there are only some compressed biscuits, some flour, and small breads. Calculated per person, it is still a week's supply. Xiang Yu bought three kilograms of flour and six packs of compressed biscuits.

These things can't even last a week, and they have to be purchased at three times the previous price.

Food is already in short supply, but even with this, there are still many people outside who cannot get enough to eat.

Uncle Xiang and his family were waiting for Xiang Yu at the supermarket entrance. When Xiang Yu came out, Xiang Ling walked up to him with a little sadness on her face.

"Xiang Yu, we have to get out quickly. Xiang Yi just said that someone is stealing things outside." Xiang Ling didn't know why things turned out like this, and there was panic in her eyes.

They were afraid that Xiang Yu, a girl, would be targeted by someone, so when they came out and saw this situation, they kept waiting for Xiang Yu, after all, they came out together.

Xiang Yu looked up at the crowd and found that many people were indeed looking at them with ill intentions. "Okay, let's go."

Several people were carrying things in their hands, and the number of inspectors maintaining security outside the supermarket had dropped sharply compared to the last time.

"Girl, can I exchange the money in my WeChat for cash with you? Five hundred yuan for one hundred cash," the man stopped Xiang Ling and put the WeChat balance in front of her.

Seeing him surrounding Xiang Ling, several people who had been waiting for a long time also came forward.

"Girl, I'll give you one thousand for one hundred. Come on, come and exchange with me," Xiang Ling has always been a housewife at home and had never seen such a scene before.

Just now, when Xiang Yi told her that someone was stealing things outside, she was scared. Uncle Xiang and Zhang Cuiping, who were walking in front of the two of them, hurried over when they saw this.

The two stood in front of Xiang Ling and said, "Brother, we are out of money. We used all the money to buy things. Besides, the prices of the things here are not as high as before. These are all we have left."

Uncle Xiang took out fifty yuan from his pocket. Seeing this, the others did not let them leave. "Would you like to change the fifty yuan in your hand? If so, I will scan the money and give it to you immediately."

"Brother, please exchange the fifty dollars in your hand with me. I have two elderly parents and two children, and the whole family is waiting for food. Please exchange with me."

Xiang Yu looked at the few people in the crowd who were secretly leaning towards them, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, and his hand slowly moved towards his lower back.

Xiang Yi is 1.8 meters tall and stands out in the crowd. He obviously saw it and took the money from his father's hand. As Xiang Yi walked, he stuffed the change in his hand into the hands of each person.

"Thank you, thank you," the man took the money and squeezed into the crowd, fearing that it would be snatched away by others. While Xiang Yi was giving the money, several people followed him out.

Xiang Ling was obviously very scared, she held Zhang Cuiping's hand tightly.

When they left the mall, a few more people surrounded them. This time, with experience, Xiang Yi and Uncle Xiang didn't even say a word.

Holding the things in their hands tightly, several people walked towards the parking lot.

When Xiang Yu walked to his car, he saw the disheveled son of the village chief and his wife, squatting in the gap between the two cars.

Seeing Xiang Yu come out, the two stood up and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Xiang Laoer's family, you finally came out. Let's go quickly. This place is too scary. We were almost robbed just now..."

"Aunt, you two hurry up and get in the car," the two of them got in tremblingly, Xiang Yu stepped on the accelerator and drove out, with Uncle Xiang's car driving in front.

After getting in the car, the two complained to each other, "Honey, just now in the mall, someone touched my bag. You know, I didn't dare to say a word at that time."

"I was touched too. Luckily, my dad told me not to keep the money in my pocket. I didn't expect a compressed biscuit to be so expensive. It would have only been worth a few dollars in the past."

There are only a few things, and everyone probably buys similar things. It is on the main road leading to the village.

At this time, there were still many people walking on the road with baskets on their backs, heading towards shopping malls and supermarkets. They had no cars and could only walk.

The car in front suddenly braked, and it was too late for Xiang Yu to stop. Holding the steering wheel tightly, Xiang Yu turned to the right and barely stopped on the side of the road.

The two people squatting in the back were not so lucky. With a cry, they both bumped into the car door.

"What's wrong?" The two men climbed up and looked towards the windshield. In an instant, two gasps sounded in their ears.

"Ouch, that's miserable."

“It’s too tragic.”

I saw a long bloodstain appearing in the snow on the road ahead, and the blood dyed the snow on the road red.

Some internal organs and minced meat were scattered on the main road, and a limb was lying in the middle of the road. The front door of the car was open, and Xiang Ling squatted on the side of the road and started vomiting.

Zhang Cuiping's face didn't look much better.

A woman squatted beside the stumps and cried helplessly. Looking along the long bloodstain on the ground, only some broken meat mixed with bones were seen all over the ground.

The vehicle that caused the accident had obviously fled. After a while, Xiang Ling got into the car with the help of Zhang Cuiping. Many people surrounded the woman, and they didn't know how to comfort her.

Obviously, no matter what you say at this time, the language will be pale.

"What a sin," sighed the village chief's son. After what happened just now, the two of them were noticeably quieter during the rest of the journey.

After returning to the village, when Xiang Yu was roasting sweet potatoes in the evening, several children shouted at her door: "Sister Xiang Yu, Sister Xiang Yu..."

Xiang Yu opened the door and looked at the people wrapped up like dumplings, "What's going on?"

"Sister Xiang Yu, the village chief said that the snowstorms have been getting heavier recently, so he asked every household in the village to send one person to clear the snow every day. Otherwise, if the roads are blocked, it will be inconvenient to travel."

"By the way, Sister Xiang Yu, the village chief said that if there is only one person in a family, they only need to sweep three days a week."

"Okay, I'll go tomorrow," Xiang Yu agreed immediately. Xiangjia Village is located on high ground, and if the snow is cleared regularly, the road will not be blocked.

At night, Xiang Yu was lying on the sofa bed. With a slight movement of his mind, space appeared before his eyes. The seeds that he had planted before had now taken root and sprouted.

But their growth cycle seems to be faster than that of the outside world. The rice has grown as long as an arm.

I don't know when they will mature, so I have to observe them every night before going to bed.

The little chicks grew bigger day by day, and their bellies were round and plump. Xiang Yu was looking forward to them laying eggs, so that he could make a lot of small breads and store them.

The phone rang. It was Chang Ming. Xiang Yu looked at their chat history. She had irritated Chang Ming quite a bit recently.

Every day when she had dinner, she would take pictures of her sumptuous dinner and send them to Chang Ming. Even if it was just a baked sweet potato, it would make Chang Ming crave it for days.
