Chapter 48: Defeat Magic with Magic
The old lady's words made Mu Jiu upstairs laugh.
In order to eat relief food, the food supplies distributed by the alliance were given up by their family themselves.
Now she blames others for taking advantage of her family.
Saying things like no matter how hard life is, we cannot let our children suffer.
Looking at these people who are eating so much, they don’t look like they are hungry.
Did they eat the child's share and let others use the food to help them feed the child?
They also said they would return the food when they had more. The extreme cold has lasted for eight months already, and they should have some understanding and awareness of the end of the world.
Mu Jiu didn't move. She stood in front of the window, quietly watching the situation in the yard not far away.
After experiencing so many accidents, if the Lou family can't even handle such a small matter, then she can't take care of them.
On the other side of the yard, Mother Lou was in a stalemate with the family across the street. Suddenly, Lou Nan from the house came out carrying a thermos bucket and a shovel.
"What do you want? Why are you blocking my door?"
I guess Lou Nan had just finished taking care of the plants in the sunroom and was planning to visit the Gu brothers and sisters.
"Little girl, please have pity on us and lend us some food!
Look, I've been standing here begging for so long, please don't be so hard-hearted.
We are all neighbors, we see each other every day, so it’s not good to make the relationship too awkward.
Otherwise... I, an old woman, can't guarantee that I can still be a good neighbor.
Who knows, my two unpromising sons might do something outrageous.”
The old lady squinted her eyes and threatened and tempted her.
“My father and brother are no longer with us, and our family has withdrawn from the neighborhood committee, so we have no obligation to care about other families’ affairs.
I don't even have the leisure to be a sucker and give food to others, leaving myself hungry.
If your family has no food to eat, you should report it to the neighborhood committee instead of coming to my house to make trouble."
After saying this, Lou Nan handed the shovel in his hand to his mother, and then calmly opened the thermos in his hand.
He poured the hot spring water in the thermos bucket outwards through the yard railing.
The grandmother and her family standing outside the door tried to avoid it, but their trouser legs, shoes and socks were soaked by the sudden bucket of water.
There was a hint of fear and surprise on their faces. Why was this girl crazy?
This action made Mu Jiu upstairs raise his eyebrows. Not bad!
To deal with a madman, you have to be crazier than her and use magic to defeat magic.
"By the way, this grandmother just said that she was going to let your son do something out of the ordinary?
For example, standing at someone's door and singing, or throwing manure into someone's yard?
It’s okay, just come.
But next time, I won’t pour my thermos bucket on your feet, but on your head!
You must have heard about the incident where someone from the housekeeping department was frozen to death outside the wall of Building 50 after being drenched in hot spring water.
If you also want to try it, I am willing to work hard to give you a 360-degree experience.
If you don't want to, then get out of my yard right now!
Don't bother my mother anymore, or I don't know what outrageous things I will do!"
As she spoke, she took the shovel from her mother, scooped up a handful of snow from the side of the yard, and threw it at the group outside.
The shovel hit the railing of the courtyard wall, making a loud and harsh sound.
"You, you, how can you be so unreasonable, little girl...you just do it directly..."
The shameless ones are afraid of the desperate ones, and the family was so scared that they ran away.
They didn't understand why this seemingly weak little girl could be so decisive and swift when she took action, even more so than them!
In fact, even Lou's mother was a little surprised by her daughter's reaction today, "Nannan, why are you..."
Before my mother finished speaking, Lou Nan answered first:
“Mom, the sister next door is about my age, but she has saved us so many times.
It's time for us to stand up and walk independently.
Now that my father and brother are gone, my mother and I have to make plans for our long-term survival.
You can't always count on the sister next door to rescue you every time something goes wrong!
They don’t owe us anything, on the contrary, we owe them so many lives that we can never repay them in this lifetime.”
After being taught a lesson by her daughter's words, Lou's mother nodded silently, "I understand."
Because of the incident of being imprisoned by a gang in the factory the day before, Mu Jiu made a decision.
When he went to have dinner with the Gu siblings, he offered to teach them some basic self-defense skills.
On the one hand, their fighting power was improved so that they could do better things for her in the future.
On the other hand, having some kung fu skills can help you protect yourself, which is always better than being completely powerless!
Once you learn it, it can also strengthen your body and there is basically no harm in it.
When they heard their sister say she wanted to teach them kung fu, the brother and sister agreed without any hesitation.
God knows how much they admire my sister's sword and boxing skills.
They were already deeply impressed by the time he rescued them in front of the hot spring pool half a year ago.
I just don’t dare to make any requests to my sister easily.
After all, my sister has taken so much care of them in every aspect, and it would seem a bit ungrateful to make more requests.
Mu Jiu said that if one wants to learn Kung Fu, the first thing is to practice basic skills and endurance.
The first task assigned to the two was that each of them go up the mountain every morning, chop at least 200 kilograms of firewood, bring it down the mountain, and store it in an empty room of 20 square meters in their villa.
When the code is full, we will start teaching basic techniques.
The brother and sister agreed immediately and said that they would try their best to speed up.
So the next morning, before daybreak, the brother and sister carried their tools up the mountain.
Mu Jiu returned to her original peaceful life, planting flowers, raising chickens and collecting eggs in her villa every day, living a simple and unpretentious life.
But gradually, she found that the hot spring resort seemed to have become a little lively recently...
Ever since the external road connecting the resort to the city was opened, it has become much more convenient for people to enter and exit, so Mu Jiu can often see strange faces coming in from outside from afar.
But without exception, they are all men.
Seeing the unfamiliar male face, Mu Jiu felt something was wrong and entered the space to check the resort carefully.
I found a lot of dirty things...
The neighborhood committee has been quite active recently, although the total population of the entire resort is only about 70 people, which is quite a lot.
But most of them are women. In the chaotic battle with the housekeeping department, most of the men here were killed.
Now many families here are like the Lou family, with only women left.
Seeing that the food at home was running low, but the resort was too far from the city center and it was very difficult to go to the city to get food, everyone was very anxious.
The neighborhood committee has held many meetings in a row to discuss finding new ways to produce food, but all have come to no avail.
If it were really that easy to find a way out, it wouldn't be the end of the world. Everyone would be very discouraged.
Even at this point, everyone was tacitly unwilling to seek refuge in the official shelter...
But now, out of desperation, Lu Ming, as the top leader of the resort, came up with a way to damage his virtue.
Since the cost of going out is too high, just ask people to come in. After all, this is a hot spring village.
In the extreme cold, hot springs themselves are an advantage, and they should make good use of it.
So the men in the neighborhood committee formed a business team, and they were responsible for going outside and bringing people in.
The remaining women here are responsible for serving people comfortably and generating income for everyone.
They even hung a new sign for the village, figuratively calling it the "Kingdom of Daughters"!
The widespread public hot spring pools have become human sex pools, the hot spring village has become a big brothel, and the neighborhood committee is the madam of the brothel.
