Watching Xiao Mu's departing figure, Jiang Yao knew that Shichang Village was not the best place to live for a long time.
My phone signal is down to only two bars; it looks like the network won't last much longer.
Cai Lin, a resident of apartment 3003 in Building C, said: "If anyone has any food left, I'll trade this jade for it."
A resident of apartment 1010 in building C said: "My apartment is flooded. Does anyone have a spare place to stay? I'll pay the rent with food."
A resident of Building C said: "@Resident of Unit 1010 in Building C, you can switch with the resident of Unit 3003 in Building C!"
Cai Lin, a resident of apartment 3003 in Building C, said: "There are already six people living in my family, and we really can't fit any more."
The resident of apartment 7003 in building C said: "@The resident of apartment 1010 in building C, you can come to my house. I have one more room. My only request is that you share half of your food with me."
Resident of apartment 1010 in building C: "Resident of apartment 7003 in building C, you're taking advantage of our misfortune!"
The resident of apartment 1011 in building C said: "@The resident of apartment 1010 in building C, are you going to my apartment or not? The resident of apartment 7003 in building C, he's not going, but he's going to my apartment."
Most people didn't offer to take him in; at a time like this, who cares about anyone else's life or death?
Jiang Yao had just finished preparing dinner and was about to deliver it to the neighbor's house when she heard Jiang Xue's voice.
Jiang Xue said shyly, "Mr. Xiao, these are sausages made by my aunt. I'm giving them to you to try." She then glanced at Xiao Mu out of the corner of her eye.
Xiao Mu narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a slight smirk, "Shen Zhijie, come out here."
Shen Zhijie: Damn it, you expect me to fend off all your unwanted suitors? That's too much!
Xiao Mu looked at Shen Zhijie with icy eyes and said, "Looking for you." Then she turned and went back into the house without any hesitation.
Shen Zhijie: Brother, I'm not deaf, okay?
Shen Zhijie looked at the girl in front of him, somewhat embarrassed: "I'm allergic to sausages."
Seeing that Shen Zhijie was so tactless, Jiang Xue gritted her teeth and said, "Xiao Mu wouldn't be allergic to this either, would she!" After saying that, she glared at Shen Zhijie hatefully.
Shen Zhijie touched his nose and suddenly saw Jiang Yao's figure, saying, "Jiang Yao, you're not allergic to sausages, are you?"
Jiang Yao: ? ? ? I just wanted to take a picture of Jiang Xue holding a sausage and send it to Cai Lin.
Jiang Yao: Do you have to yell so loudly?! Shen Zhijie, how can you be so shameless?!
Jiang Yao rolled her eyes and said, "I'm not allergic." Then she took the food and ate it in front of Shen Zhijie and Jiang Xue.
Seeing Shen Zhijie's actions, Jiang Xue felt a little embarrassed and said, "I only brought this because I knew you two grown men couldn't cook anything." After saying that, she looked at the neighbors around her with tears in her eyes.
Jiang Yao ate the sausage Jiang Xue had given her, wondering how her aunt and the others would react if they found out. After all, their family had just traded jade for food in the group chat!
Shen Zhijie scratched his head and said, "You have commendable courage. If I wasn't afraid that she was after my good looks, I would have actually taken advantage of her."
Those watching the spectacle had never seen such a shameless person.
Just as Shen Zhijie finished speaking, they heard Cai Lin and Cai Ya arguing.
Chae Rim said harshly, "Look at the good daughter you raised, she's starving to death herself, and you're still overflowing with sympathy."
"Haven't you ever seen a man before?"
Cai Ya knew she was in the wrong, so she could only explain, "Jiang Xue was just sympathizing with them." Seeing that Jiang Xue didn't say anything, she pulled her away.
When the crowd realized there was no more excitement to watch, they dispersed.
Seeing that Jiang Yao was enjoying her food, Shen Zhijie picked up a piece and put it in his mouth, saying, "Hmm, it tastes really good."
Jiang Yao retorted, "I've seen shameless people before, but I've never seen anyone as shameless as you."
Shen Zhijie said shamelessly, "To do what we do, you need to be thick-skinned and willing to go all out to get to the end, right?"
Xiao Mu came out when he heard Jiang Yao's name.
Seeing the lunchbox at Jiang Yao's feet, she picked it up, opened it, and said to Shen Zhijie, "You can have the sausage!" Then she turned and walked towards the dining room.
Seeing that Xiao Mu had used him to do her dirty work, Shen Zhijie replied, "Mu Mu, I have sacrificed so much for you, yet you want to abandon me."
Xiao Mu's figure stiffened slightly, and he slowly turned around and said, "Put away your slutty attitude and eat."
Jiang Yao was speechless. When a man becomes shameless, women have no chance.
Seeing the two eating, Jiang Yao picked up her phone out of boredom and saw that everyone in the group was saying that the water level was rising and that the flood might reach the second floor tomorrow.
Some residents on the second floor have started packing their belongings to move to higher ground, and some have even moved ahead of time because they are afraid of not finding the best location.
After Jiang Yao packed up the lunchboxes the two had finished eating, she went home and saw Erpang rowing out in a kayak.
The supply exchange area was flooded at night, and the authorities mobilized manpower to prepare for salvaging and rescuing supplies.
Participants receive one-third of the supplies they salvage as a reward, which motivates those who have run out of food. After all, the thought of food keeps everyone highly motivated.
Meanwhile, some people were also cursing the staff at the exchange counter, saying they were lazy and couldn't even keep an eye on the supplies until the floodwaters came out.
The authorities, realizing they were in the wrong, had no choice but to pretend they didn't see it.
Some people say that if this were under military management, such a mistake wouldn't have happened...
While everyone was discussing how to salvage the supplies, someone suggested how to get there. At that moment, someone said, "Is Erpang here? He went out in a kayak today."
No one answered, so he had no choice but to say, "Does anyone still have a kayak?"
Seeing that no one spoke up, Cai Lin said, "My family has a rubber boat, but you have to give me one-third of the supplies you salvage."
Seeing that no one had any objections, Cai Lin and Jiang Sheng carried the kayak down.
This kayak was brought over by Jiang Sheng's family when they moved here.
Xiao Mu and Shen Zhijie led everyone through the safety passage, and after reaching the end, they put the kayak into the water.
