The weather was already so hot that it was hard to breathe, and they were crying so hard. Wang Hongbo was afraid that the two children would suffocate, so he didn't care about being sad and hurried over to comfort them.
"Duoduo, Tongtong, listen to Daddy, stop crying, and conserve your energy. I'll give you some water in a while, and you'll feel better."
The children were very obedient and stopped crying with sobs.
Tongtong raised her little face and asked weakly:
"Dad, will we be like grandpa and grandma tomorrow and never wake up after falling asleep?
I don’t want to miss seeing my dad and my brother.”
Wang Hongbo felt a sore nose and red eyes, but he managed not to cry.
He never thought that he was lucky enough to come across Shuguang Supermarket and Boss Jiang, and bought so many supplies and stocked them at home.
But the old father and mother did not live long and passed away.
"Tongtong, don't think too much. The temperature will drop soon. Let's hold on a little longer."
Wang Hongbo had no idea what the future would be like, but he could only comfort himself and his two children in this way.
"Dad, I'm so hot and dizzy."
Duoduo's lips were pale, her breathing was heavy, and physiological tears were squeezed out of the corners of her eyes.
"Dad, I can't hold on any longer."
This symptom is obviously heatstroke. If it is not relieved, it may worsen into heat stroke and endanger life.
Wang Hongbo quickly took out a bottle of mineral water from the cabinet and fed it to the two children.
In the hot weather, even the water was hot, and after taking a big gulp of water, they didn't feel much relief.
The two children were sensible and didn't cry or make a fuss. They just endured it.
If this continues, and Wang Hongbo loses his two children, he will lose the motivation to live.
Perhaps, in these difficult end times, self-liberation is the best choice.
When Wang Hongbo was in despair, a car horn suddenly sounded downstairs.
Didi——
After parking the van, Jiang He turned on the loudspeaker.
"Shuguang Supermarket, delivery to your door!
If you need it, you can prepare your points card! "
Most people are too exhausted now, and it would be difficult for them to stand by the window and shout what they want to buy.
So, Jiang He planned to try a different approach today and knock on doors one by one.
Boom boom boom.
There was a knock on the door and Wang Hongbo stumbled towards it.
The moment he saw Jiang He, the big man who had been holding back his tears just now burst into tears.
Jiang He introduced with a smile: "Shuguang Supermarket has cooling pads available for purchase today. They are about one meter long and fifty centimeters wide. They cost 400 points each and can keep food cold for 24 hours.
Would you like one?"
Wang Hongbo was extremely grateful that he had not used up all the points in his card.
The remaining points are more than enough to buy three cooling pads.
"Boss Jiang, does the supermarket have any icy treats?"
Jiang He nodded: "Yes, Coke, Sprite, orange juice, milk, chocolate ice cream, which ones do you need?"
Wang Hongbo counted the points in his mind. He had previously stockpiled food for five people at home. Now that his parents had passed away, the food was enough to sustain them for a long time.
There's not much shortage of food, but I definitely need to buy some more water.
"Three cooling pads, six bottles of water, one bottle of Coke, two bottles of orange juice, and three bottles of milk."
Jiang He immediately took out a small notebook and wrote it down, marking "101" at the very beginning.
"Okay, wait a moment, I'll bring it over right away."
Then she went to knock on the door of room 102 next door.
After registering the needs of 10 households in a row, Jiang He returned to the supermarket and put all the goods written on the notebook into a large plastic basket.
She picked this up from the roadside, the system is useless.
"Meow meow meow~"
Sang Biao stood by the window, scratching the glass with his claws, trying to attract Jiang He's attention.
Hearing the noise, Jiang He turned around and saw the cute little orange cat "dancing" in the room, and was immediately attracted by its cuteness.
"Biao, do you want to come out and play?"
“Meow meow meow!”
Sang Biao's meow instantly rose eight octaves, and his furry tail was about to rise to the sky.
In Jiang He's impression, kittens all stay at home, but Sang Biao seems to be different. He is very brave and may prefer to run outside.
"System, can Sang Biao come out to play?"
It’s so hot today, the ground must be burning your paws.
[Not very good, it's an animal that failed to mutate and doesn't have a heat-resistant physique.]
Since the system said so, Jiang He could only ruthlessly reject the kitten.
"Biao, wait until the weather is better, then I'll let you out to play."
Looking at his master's receding back, Sang Biao's little tail suddenly drooped down.
At the entrance of 101.
Wang Hongbo was holding a bunch of things, his face full of gratitude:
"Boss Jiang, thank you. Without you, my two children and I might not have survived today."
The two children hadn't seen strangers for a long time. They stood timidly in the living room, their little faces flushed red, and there was an obvious red mark on their noses from being pinched.
Jiang He retracted his gaze and kindly reminded:
"It's best to use a cooling pad for a while and wait until your body temperature drops before drinking iced drinks.
In this situation, drinking it directly may cause harm to the body."
"Okay, okay, we'll remember that. Thanks for Boss Jiang's help."
Wang Hongbo was speaking with all his might, but when the door closed, he became completely exhausted.
He didn't know what to do with his parents' bodies, so he could only lock the door first. He would deal with the rest after he got through the extreme heat.
The cooling pad is not as cold as an ice pack, but it has a larger area and is icy cool. It is so comfortable to lie on it.
Duoduo and Tongtong are not tall, and the length is just right for them to lie on the cooling mat.
Feeling a slight chill, the children's faces no longer had painful expressions, and the corners of their tense mouths gradually relaxed.
He lay on his back for a while, then turned over and lay down on his back.
The two children gradually regained some energy and spirit. Wang Hongbo saw it and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
I touched a few bottles of drinks and they were no longer as cold.
"Duoduo, Tongtong, get up and have something to drink. Orange juice or milk? Choose for yourself."
-
Half an hour later, Jiang He finally reached the second floor.
I knocked on room 201 for two minutes but heard nothing.
The residents inside are most likely dead.
Jiang He could only turn around and walk towards the door of 202. As soon as he raised his hand, the door opened.
"Hello, Shuguang Supermarket..."
Before he could finish his words, a woman pushed a little boy of eight or nine years old out of the house.
With a bang.
The door was closed tightly again.
In the corridor, only Jiang He and the boy were left staring at each other.
What does this mean?
The next second, a woman's voice came from 202:
"Boss Jiang, this child is not mine. I don't know who threw him at my doorstep.
I can't afford to support him, so I'll let him follow you and help you with work. You have plenty of supplies in your supermarket, so you can feed him by just giving him food."
