Chapter 10: Grab Things
"Yang Qing, um, can I have a pack of instant noodles from you? I can give you money!" Wang Min looked at Yang Qing and felt a little hungry.
"Okay, no problem." Yang Qing nodded. He had originally intended to share these things with them, but he did not refuse her offer of money.
You cannot develop the habit of providing things for free. If one day you stop providing, you may become enemies.
Wang Min took out his phone only to find that the network was down. "I'll give you cash!"
I went back to my room and got ten dollars, "I'll take four bags first!"
I really don’t have much cash left, and I don’t usually use cash.
"Okay!" Yang Qing nodded.
Wang Min went to boil water and found that the water and electricity were cut off, so he looked at Yang Qing again.
Yang Qing also took two packets of instant noodles and said, "Use the water from the water dispenser. We have a few buckets of water here anyway. Boil some for us."
"Li Shengnan, do you want it?"
Li Shengnan nodded, gave Yang Qing ten yuan, and gave the instant noodles to Wang Min, "Let's cook together!"
The four of them ate instant noodles, no one spoke, and the atmosphere was a bit solemn.
"Li Shengnan, should we go buy some supplies later? We can't always eat Yang Qing's food, and these things are not enough for the four of us to eat for long." Wang Min looked at Li Shengnan.
Li Shengnan nodded. "Some high places should not be flooded yet. Let's go and take a look."
"If you want to go, go early. If you are late, you may lose everything." Yang Qing reminded.
When the chaos comes, there will be looting and smashing everywhere, and there will be no place to buy things even if you want to.
After finishing the instant noodles, Yang Qing watched the two of them go downstairs. Aqi wanted to follow them out, so he bit Yang Qing's trouser leg and dragged him out.
Yang Qing patted its head and said, "You can't go out to play anymore. Let me take you to the rooftop for a stroll!"
Lu Lin and I took Aqi upstairs. There was almost no problem on our side because of the sunroom. But the ground on the other side was bumpy and corroded. It rained so heavily later, so there must be a leak.
However, because it had been washed by rain, the ground was walkable.
Aqi ran up there, sniffing around. Perhaps he smelled something bad, so he kept yelling at Yang Qing.
Yang Qing pointed to a flowerpot that had been mostly corroded and the flowers inside had died long ago.
"You'll have to pee here from now on. You can't go out downstairs."
Archie yelled in dissatisfaction, walked around twice but still couldn't get anywhere, so he raised his leg and started peeing beside the flowerpot.
Suddenly Archie rushed out and shouted towards the corridor entrance.
Yang Qing walked over and heard a knock on the door. Someone called out, "Is anyone there?"
When I looked over, it turned out to be the man next door.
Yang Qing quickly responded, "I'm upstairs, I'll be down right away!"
Archie was the first to rush downstairs and yelled at the man, but the dog beside him just stared at Archie without saying a word.
"Aqi!" Yang Qing called out. Aqi walked obediently to Yang Qing's side, still baring his teeth at the man and the dog.
"Is there something?" Yang Qing looked at the man.
He changed into black clothes today and still wore the bullet pendant around his neck, which looked very special.
"Thank you for the medicine yesterday!" The man raised his bandaged hand and took the dog over. "I want to go out for a while. My dog is injured. Can you help take care of it for me?"
Only then did Yang Qing realize that the dog was an Alaskan, and it looked very similar to Archie. If you didn't look closely, you would think they were the same breed.
"Of course it can, but can't it just stay at home by itself?" Yang Qing was a little puzzled.
"It has a bandaged abdomen injury. It must be uncomfortable if it keeps biting me. I'm afraid the wound will get infected again, so I have to keep an eye on it."
"I understand." Yang Qing nodded.
"Your help is not in vain!" The man took the black bullet from his neck, "This is your reward."
"This..." Yang Qing looked at the thing in the man's hand. It was as black as ink. If he was not mistaken, it should be black jade?
This seems a bit too expensive.
But now is the end of the world, there is no reason to provide free services.
"Okay, come back early!" Yang Qing took the black jade. The jade was warm and delicate, and still carried the man's body temperature.
"Thank you!" The man pursed his lips and nodded towards Yang Qing.
He took the dog over and said, "It's called Xiaoxue, a girl. My name is Leng Yi, please give me your guidance in the future!"
Yang Qing reached out and shook hands with Leng Yi. His hand was wrapped in gauze, and it felt warm and rough to the touch.
"My name is Yang Qing, this is my best friend Lu Lin, and my pet is called Aqi."
Archie barked at the other person twice and wagged his tail. The poop scooper's friend is my friend.
Xiaoxue turned her head away proudly and didn't look at Aqi.
"Xiaoxue, meet Aqi!" Leng Yi patted Xiaoxue's head.
Xiaoxue looked at Aqi, sniffed Aqi, and it didn't seem to smell bad. She purred to show that she recognized him.
Leng Yi pursed his lips and said, "Thank you for your help. I will be back as soon as possible."
Yang Qing led Xiaoxue into the house. Lu Lin held Aqi in her arms and looked at Xiaoxue. "Xiaoxue is so beautiful, Aqi, don't you think?"
"Woof!" Archie nodded. She was a beauty.
It came close to Xiaoxue and licked her with its tongue. The aloof Xiaoxue ignored it at first, but soon lost her temper and started playing with it.
Yang Qing opened the window and looked downstairs. Not long after, Leng Yi swam out from the corridor. He seemed very skilled, so there was no need to worry.
"Xiaoxue, come, let's have breakfast!" Yang Qian waved to Xiaoxue, and it ran over with its tail wagging.
Yang Qing poured a bowl of dog food for each of the two dogs, and the two dogs squatted down and started eating happily.
At noon, Li Shengnan, Wang Min and Leng Yi did not come back. Yang Qing took out two pork trotter rice dishes and one roast duck rice dish from the car refrigerator in the room, heated up the pork trotter rice dishes and ate them with Lu Lin, and threw the roast duck to the two dogs, which ate with relish.
It was not until around five in the afternoon that Yang Qing saw Leng Yi coming back through the window, paddling a rubber boat.
There are a lot of things on it.
This man is quite resourceful.
It's not easy for a man to carry so many things, and the people downstairs are eyeing him covetously, so there might be a conflict later.
"Should we go down and help?" Lu Lin asked.
Yang Qing shook his head, "He should be able to find a way himself."
After thinking for a moment, he called Aqi over, opened the door, pointed across the street, and patted its head, "Go down and help Xiaoxue's owner!"
After opening the security door, Archie ran down quickly, while Xiaoxue stood obediently in front of the door and did not follow him.
Yang Qing returned to the room and looked down with a telescope. He found that the water level had risen a little more and was almost level with the corridor on the second floor, so Leng Yi's rubber boat was parked next to the corridor.
There were many people standing nearby, all staring at Leng Yi.
Although only a day and a night had passed, many people had not eaten and were starving. Their eyes lit up when they saw Leng Yi's food.
"Woof!"
Archie yelled, grinned and rushed over, baring his teeth at the people next to him, looking ferocious, which scared away many of the people who were ready to make a move.
Leng Yi looked at Aqi in surprise. He didn't expect Yang Qing to let it come down to help.
Leng Yi got off the rubber boat, patted Aqi's head, and started moving things.
An old lady came forward.
"Hey young man, where did you get this? Can you give us some?"
"No!" Leng Yi refused decisively.
"I don't want your things for free, I'll pay for them!"
"Not for sale!" Leng Yi said with a sullen face.
"Hey, what's wrong with you, young man? We don't want your things for free, so why can't we buy from you?"
"How can you be so ignorant of respecting the elderly and loving the young? You are so uneducated!"
"That's right, you can tell at a glance that he's from another place, he has no manners!"
As he was about to come up and grab the things, Leng Yi kicked him and said, "Get out!"
