Chapter 11 Firefly Light (Part 3)
The goose feels wronged, but it doesn't say anything.
The goose was facing the wall, kneeling on a washboard with a bottle of Wahaha on its head.
To prevent Wahaha from falling, its neck is kept unusually straight.
After trying "Quiet Talk" more than a dozen times, I still didn't notice any changes in my body.
Xie Mian simply stopped looking and just picked up the mango candy and ate it piece by piece.
The mango jelly was "carried" up from the underground supermarket by Goose Shifang with a washboard.
The chewy and bouncy soft candy hooks your teeth and tongue, and the sweet and fragrant taste of mango honey fills your mouth.
Xie Mian folded the peeled candy wrapper into a five-pointed star and placed it on the flat yellow beak of Goose Shifang.
Goose Shifang accepted his fate and closed his eyes:
Well, there is no need to say anything more now.
After experiencing a series of repeated shocks of "speak - can't speak - speak - can't speak", the man and woman who were able to speak no longer dared to make loud noises, and even walked very carefully, for fear of alarming the "ghosts" in the mall and becoming unable to speak again.
They had almost cleared out all the gold and jewelry on the first floor. Carrying heavy bags, they turned their attention to the basement.
"Mom, mom, please go down quickly, I want to eat something delicious!"
Taotao, with tears and snot still on her face and a jewelry necklace hanging from her neck, shook her mother's arm hard.
"Okay, okay, go down, I'll go down right away!"
The woman dragged her bag on the ground, looking around, especially glancing at Xie Mian several times.
After making sure that Xie Mian really wasn't looking over here, he secretly hid several large bags under a counter.
"Hubby, let's go downstairs and find something to eat!"
They had food in their bags, but they had just emptied the contents to make room for the gold.
The man hid the bag in his hand somewhere else, his face showing an unconcealable ecstasy:
"Let's go downstairs. Taotao, eat whatever you want!"
The couple excitedly took their little daughter to the basement.
Xiao Xing saw her father and aunt going out to look for food, hesitated for a moment, and then followed them with her schoolbag.
Her stomach growled with hunger.
Another star was superimposed on the beak, and Goose Shifang's body softened and fell to the ground.
sad!
What broke the big goose was not the nightly toil, but a little star.
The big goose moaned softly and looked at Xie Mian pitifully.
"Tired?"
"quack!"
The goose nodded weakly. Not only was it tired, but it was also hungry and its heart was broken!
It crawled onto Xie Mian's legs like a silkworm, raised its head tremblingly, and looked at Xie Mian with tears in its eyes:
“Ga ga ga!”
Honey, I was wrong. Let’s go eat. I’m really tired and hungry!
The washboard is not suitable for a goose to kneel on. The goose's legs are about to be swollen from kneeling! !
Goose Shifang originally wanted to let his wife see his knees. The moment he raised his head, he remembered that his body was "iron wall" and he would not suffer any skin injuries.
Failed to play the victim!
Goose Shifang could only cry.
Xie Mian peeled the last mango candy and put it into E Shifang's mouth:
"Let's go!"
There are many restaurants on the fifth floor. The insect outbreak has only been going on for a few days, so the food in the restaurants should still be good.
However, as the "God of Dark Cuisine", Xie Mian chose not to do it himself, but went directly to the Basement Supermarket.
Xie Mian walked in front.
The big goose picked up the five-pointed star on the ground and followed behind with Wahaha in his arms.
After all, it was me who “topped” it, hahaha, it can’t be wasted.
As for the washboard, Goose Shifang kicked it away:
"quack!"
Get out!
As the sun set, the mall, already dim due to the power outage, became even darker.
The first floor is fine, but taking the escalator to the basement level is like walking into darkness.
The rows of shelves in the supermarket were arranged in a blur, and occasionally the light of a mobile phone flashed across the shelves.
"Eat whatever you want!"
Xie Mian walked to the shelf where the luggage was placed, and randomly picked out a lightweight and large-capacity backpack and slung it over his back.
The supermarket is full of things, and they are hardly touched.
Xie Mian picked out some chocolate, compressed biscuits, sausages, and water and put them in his bag, and then he put mango-flavored candies into his bag.
One bag, two bags, three bags...hard and soft things almost filled the entire backpack.
E Shifang cried out in pain as he watched from the side.
"quack!"
Don't eat so much sugar, be careful of tooth decay.
It was responded with a large loaf of bread that had been torn out of its packaging.
After taking the bread out of his mouth, E Shifang quickly caught up with Xie Mian.
Xie Mian found a flashlight in the department store and used it to illuminate the area. He also stuffed two portable flashlights and two power banks into his backpack.
Then go to the kitchen supplies area.
He wanted to find a handy knife here to use as a weapon temporarily.
A boning knife, a slicing knife, a small kitchen knife, a fruit knife... Xie Mian's hand stroked the blades and finally chose a portable folding knife.
Folding knives have slightly concave blades, which make the blade thinner and sharper, and provide less cutting resistance.
There is a ring at the end that can be put on the finger and rotated flexibly.
In addition to the folding knife, Xie Mian also picked out a few stainless steel forks and a bundle of stainless steel chopsticks.
E Shifang finished eating the bread and pulled Xie Mian to accompany him to the snack area to find some food.
The flashlight's halo was in front, and the two of them were behind. They walked through rows of shelves and arrived at the snack area in a few steps.
E Shifang tore open a bag of tomato-flavored potato chips, put his mouth into the bag, and started eating with a crunching sound.
Xie Mian leaned against the shelf, playing with the flashlight in his hand.
The flashlight shone sometimes upwards and sometimes downwards, like a white puppy running around in the dark.
"This is mine. Everything here is mine. You are not allowed to eat it!"
The flashlight flashed across an area, and a chubby little boy wearing a pink strawberry bear clip pushed a slightly taller little girl to the ground and snatched a piece of bread from her hand.
The little fat boy snatched the bread and didn't eat it. Instead, he threw it on the ground and stomped on it.
"Ahh, Mom, my sister bullied me and stole my bread!"
"Why are you stealing my sister's things? You're going to die!"
The taller girl had just gotten up from the ground and was about to pick up the bread on the ground when she was kicked to the ground again.
"Auntie, I don't have any. This bread is mine..."
"What do you mean by yours...Husband, can you please control Xiao Xing? She's bullying our Tao Tao again!"
"Xiao Xing, as a sister, can you please understand a little bit?"
The man strode over, with a look of disappointment on his face, and pointed at the girl's nose and started scolding her.
The bread was trampled underfoot again.
From a rotten piece of bread, it becomes a more rotten piece of bread.
Dad's black leather shoes left, aunt's red heels left, and sister's princess shoes left.
"Click", "tap", "thump".
The sound of shoes gradually faded away, and the light of the flashlight gradually faded away.
In the darkness, Xiao Xing stretched out her hand and moved slowly towards where the bread had fallen...
My fingers felt something soft and sticky.
She remembered that the taste was sweet, and she slowly moved her fingers that had touched the stickiness to her mouth.
"Little boy, don't eat dirty things, it will give you diarrhea!"
A bright light shone above my head.
The wrist was held.
She raised her head and saw a familiar cold face:
"Big Brother..."
Pulling up Xiao Xing who was lying on the ground, Xie Mian handed her a wet wipe and motioned her to wipe her fingers.
"Eat this."
He took another loaf of bread from the shelf and handed it to the other person.
The bread was snow-white, like a fluffy cloud. Xiao Xing looked at the bread, swallowed her saliva, and then shook her head gently:
"I have no money left. I only have two yuan and I have already bought that piece of bread..."
Xiao Xing's eyes fell on the bread on the ground that was trampled and torn into pieces.
The bread mixed with the mud on the soles of the shoes and became rotten and dirty, no longer looking like its original state.
"Little friend, you..."
Xie Mian looked up at the darkness above. He sighed, shook his head, and smiled helplessly.
He ran his fingers across the shelf and found two coins in an empty spot on the shelf.
The coins are cold.
There is a price tag where the coins should be placed, which says: Fancy sandwich bread 2 yuan/piece.
"Your name is Xiao Xing, right?"
Xie Mian squatted down, stared into the other person's eyes, and put the two coins back into the other person's palm:
"Xiao Xing, the world is different now. It's become very dangerous. You don't need to follow the old rules anymore. All you have to do is survive!"
"If you're hungry, just take the bread and eat it. No money required!"
"But……"
Xiao Xing hesitated, lowering her head and not daring to look Xie Mian in the eye.
"The book says you have to pay for things and can't just take them. Taking things without paying is not good..."
"What the book says is wrong," Xie Mian corrected Xiao Xing. "Survival is the most important thing. Xiao Xing, you'll starve to death if you don't eat. Do you want to starve to death?"
"I……"
Xiao Xing clenched her fists, holding the two coins in her hands, her shoulders trembling slightly.
“Eat!”
Xie Mian tore open the bread packaging in his hand, reached out, and handed the bread back to Xiao Xing.
