Chapter 16 The Typhoon is Coming
Ye Xin came to the window and found that the rain that was originally falling vertically began to tilt. Large flakes of rain hit the window obliquely, washing the glass clean.
Through the rain curtain, Ye Xin saw the trees outside begin to sway, and they were moving faster and faster.
The originally bright sky suddenly turned gloomy, with dark clouds hanging low overhead, making people feel breathless.
The typhoon is coming!
Xuanxuan also walked to the window: "Mom, are we going to start?"
Ye Xin put her hand on Xuanxuan's forehead and the fever subsided.
She nodded solemnly.
The end of the world has officially begun.
At this time, the property company's phone was flooded with calls.
The first floor was flooded.
With the rain so heavy, the property management company was helpless and had to ask the owner to seek help in the owner group.
The owners of the first floor sent messages one after another: Help! My house is flooded. Is there any kind neighbor who can take us in for a few days?
No one replied.
Property management staff began to mobilize in the group: During this special period, neighbors please help each other. If it is convenient at home, please temporarily take in the neighbors in your unit who were affected by the disaster. We will be infinitely grateful.
Still no response.
The property manager began to speak: If there are owners who are willing to take in their neighbors, please bring photos of yourself with your neighbors to the property management office, and we will give you a reward of exempting your property management fee for one year. Please help each other and get through this difficult time together.
The owner of the second floor also started to complain: Fuck! People upstairs, stop flushing! My toilet is leaking!
There was also a photo of a toilet spraying shit, which made Ye Xin feel disgusted.
What should I do now, real estate agent? I can survive two days without eating, but who can survive without pooping? How can I solve this problem?
What can property owners do in the event of a natural disaster?
All the property staff fell silent.
The wind was getting stronger and stronger, and the sound of rain hitting the glass was getting louder and louder.
The trees along the roadside waved their branches wildly.
A billboard was blown in from somewhere, tumbling into the rain. The splashing water was quickly submerged by the falling rain, leaving only the billboard floating in the water.
The whole world seemed to be controlled and ravaged by a pair of invisible hands.
Ye Xin took out the pig intestines from the space and started cleaning them with Xuanxuan.
Do these tasks quickly while there are still power and water outages. If you want to deal with them later, you can only go to the space to do them.
Moreover, Ye Xin’s space is very strange.
No one or any living thing can enter the cabin where time stops. Only the garden and the woods behind are open to people.
Faced with this powerful yet somewhat arbitrary spatial rule, Ye Xin was speechless.
She had no choice but to use her consciousness to lead the tap water in the cabin to the garden, and also lead the electricity in the cabin out of the house for future use.
After cleaning the pig intestines, Ye Xin handed them to her mother, asking her to blanch them or make them into a dish and put them in the cabin.
At this time, Su Jing came and knocked on the door.
"Xinxin, are you home?"
Ye Xin opened the door, and Su Jing sniffed: "It smells so good! Aunt Ye's cooking skills are good."
Mother Ye smiled and said, "Stay for lunch."
Su Jing waved her hands: "Forget about eating. Look at the weather outside. Not only is the rain getting heavier, but there's also a typhoon."
"Our school has already announced a postponement of the start of the semester, and we don't know when we can go out. I came here just to see if you have any food at home."
Ye's mother smiled and said, "We bought some when we came here, so we won't be hungry for now."
Su Jing was afraid that Ye's mother would be polite to her, so she pulled Ye Xin aside and said, "Thanks to your reminder, I bought a lot of things. You have a big family, so if you don't have enough to eat, tell me."
Faced with such a best friend, Ye Xin didn't know whether she should be moved or feel unfortunate.
It was the same in her previous life. If it weren't for Su Jing's food, she and Xuanxuan would have died of hunger in a natural disaster.
It was precisely because of Su Jing's kindness that she clearly noticed that something was wrong with Jiang Chao, but was reluctant to kick him out of the house, which led to a disaster.
"Jingjing, are you and Jiang Chao okay?"
After hearing what Ye Xin said, Su Jing's face looked a little ugly: "It's okay, he just has that temper. He went to the seventh floor to play cards last night and didn't come back all night."
"Hey! What on earth do you want from him?" Ye Xin sighed.
Ye Xin can't tell her what will happen in the future, nor can she stop her from continuing to be with Jiang Chao. How can she avoid the tragedy of her previous life?
There was a sound of cursing coming from downstairs.
A middle-aged woman on the 13th floor pointed at an old lady and cursed: "Why are you knocking, you old fool? If your house is flooded, just live in the hallway, why are you knocking on my door?"
The old lady was so angry that she was incoherent: "You...you! This is not your house. I paid the down payment for this house and bought it for my son. It is only natural for me to live in my son's house!"
The woman insisted: "Now you know it's your son's house? What did you say when we needed to take care of the child?"
The woman waved her arms, ignoring the increasing number of people who were watching the excitement: "At that time you said that you had to go to work and had no time to take care of our children. We each have our own homes to take care of. Now this is not our home? Has it become your son's home again?"
The old man was so angry that he punched the man several times: "You little bastard, we spent so much money to help you get married and buy a house, and now your parents are in trouble, and you can't even stay at your house for a few days?"
"Listen to what your wife is saying, is she a decent person? What will happen if we don't look after each other? The betrothal gift for your wife and the down payment for your house were all borrowed from us. You don't pay us back and don't let us work. What will we do with the borrowed money?"
The old man's voice was too loud, attracting more onlookers.
Seeing more and more people coming, the woman slammed the door shut and said, "Get lost! This is my house, no one can occupy it."
Someone with a keen nose sniffed a few times and said, "Smell it! She's stewing meat! Everyone is running out of food, but she still has meat to eat!"
"No wonder this woman is so fat, it turns out she has a lot of food stored at home."
"I think I can smell the aroma of rice. It seems her family has a lot of food stored! How about we knock on the door and borrow some? Or we can buy some!"
The old man and the old woman went downstairs helplessly.
Several young people knocked on the door of room 1302.
The fat woman opened the door and glared at them fiercely: "Why are you knocking? Are you looking for death?"
The young man smiled politely and said, "Big sister, how about this? We are out of food. If you have more food, please lend us some. No! We can buy it. You name the price."
The woman rolled her eyes and said, "Get lost! Get lost! We have food at home but we won't sell it! Looking at this situation, who knows when the rain will stop? I guess the supermarkets are all flooded, and there will be no place to buy food even after the rain stops."
This sentence reminded this group of young people.
Yes! It’s raining so hard and it’s still raining. Even if it stops, the food will be soaked in water. Where can we buy food?
When things are bad, one must think of change. This group of young people did not have any bad intentions, but several middle-aged men looked at each other, and the viciousness in their eyes was chilling.
