Chapter 14: Begging for Food

After the power outage, the community fell into darkness, but the voices of people were bustling.

The low battery and disconnected signal on the mobile phone made the panic that people had been holding in their hearts for the past few days reach its peak.

Everyone opened their doors at the same time and started talking.

"Neighbors, I feel like the sky is falling!"

"The emergency line was not working, and now the internet is down!"

"Do you have any food?"

"Will this rain continue?"

There were many different opinions and the corridor was in chaos.

Finally someone shouted:

"Hurry up and save some water! If the water stops flowing soon, we'll have no choice but to drink rainwater."

Everyone immediately dispersed like birds and beasts, and went home to fill their water containers with water.

At this time, the accumulated water had already reached the floor of the sixth floor.

The homeless residents on the fifth and sixth floors are the most anxious.

They could only squeeze into the corridor, regretting that they had not left with the residents downstairs.

In my heart, I couldn't help but blame my neighbors for being so unkind.

At this time, Qian Ying'er from Room 802 had already moved to Room 801.

The brother and sister put all the food together in the dark and found that there was only a bowl of rice and two bags of instant noodles left.

"Brother Wenbin, we won't be able to hold on for a few more days at this rate."

Bai Wenbin: "Why don't we ask Annan for help? She likes to study food, and her family always has a lot of food."

Qian Ying'er bit her lip: "But she treated you like that before..."

"Even if she has some opinion about me, we have known each other for a while. She wouldn't just stand by and watch me die, right?"

Qian Ying'er thought for a moment and said, "You're right. If the water keeps rising, it will soon reach our floor. We might as well just move into her house. The 14th floor is much safer."

After discussing, the two immediately went out and went upstairs.

When we got upstairs, we found that Annan had locked the stainless steel door on the 14th floor, and we couldn't touch the door of 1402 at all.

So the two of them could only knock on the staircase door first.

I knocked for a long time but no one answered.

Qian Ying'er suddenly had an idea: "Brother, it seems that she installed an armored door behind this door before."

Installed a door? Bai Wenbin frowned:

"Then she may not be able to hear us. Let's knock harder."

So the two of them put in all their strength and beat with their arms.

"Nannan, please open the door. I'm Ying'er."

"Nannan, open the door. I know you are home."

Annan did not commit adultery until their hands became numb and their throats became hoarse.

In fact, Annan had heard the knock on the door a long time ago, but she was studying the instruction manual of the generator.

Power outages can cause a lot of inconvenience, and long periods of darkness can also cause depression.

Therefore, for the sake of oneself and a wealthy and happy life, it is impossible to cut off the power supply at home.

Annan installed the generator and went into the kitchen to install the gas tank for cooking.

After putting the house in tidy order, he picked up a kitchen knife and opened the door slowly.

Bai Wenbin and the other man were overjoyed to see the door finally opened.

When I looked up, I saw Annan still holding a kitchen knife in his hand.

"Nannan, are you... cooking?"

The two were very happy. As expected! A food lover like her would have plenty of food in her home.

They could only eat porridge to fill their stomachs, but she was still able to cut vegetables and meat.

"Nannan, we are out of food at home, and I want to borrow some food from you."

"Or you can let us stay here for a while. I can take care of all the housework."

Annan looked at Bai Wenbin, who was speaking harshly, and Qian Ying'er, who looked pitiful, and couldn't help but sneer.

When you cut off my hands and flesh in my previous life, you didn't have this expression on your face.

"You guys want to move in?"

Seeing hope, Qian Ying'er nodded quickly.

"Sure!" Annan looked them up and down, "But you have to pay some rent."

Bai Wenbin was stunned: Why is she so materialistic!

We just met, and you still charge me for helping you out in an emergency? Your family is so well-off, why do you still want to be a prostitute?

He didn't show it on his face, and said sincerely, "We don't have any cash. You name a price, and I'll transfer the money to you as soon as the network signal is restored."

"That won't work. What if you guys default on your debt?" Annan shook his head.

"By then, you've already eaten and lived here, so if you want to default on your debts, I won't be able to do anything about it."

Qian Ying'er really thought so.

She was a little embarrassed by the words that hit her heart, and she forced a smile:

"How could that be? We have been classmates for so many years, and you still don't believe me!"

Seeing that Annan didn't respond, he said, "Nannan, if you don't help me, I will starve to death. Do you really have the heart to watch me die without helping me?"

Annan looked at her and said, "Okay, I'll let you stay overnight."

The two breathed a sigh of relief.

"But we don't have much food at home. If you insist on staying here, you have to pay some food."

Qian Ying'er: "Nannan, we are out of food. If we had something to eat, why would we come to you for help?"

“You do.”

Annan suddenly made a startling statement:

"Each of you let me hold your hand, and I'll let you in."

The two looked at her in disbelief.

I saw a sinister smile on her face:

"Don't you know that I love eating halved pig's trotters the most? Your trotters are white and tender. After blanching them and adding some seasoning, they must be delicious..."

After he finished speaking, he suddenly slashed at Bai Wenbin with a knife.

Bai Wenbin was so frightened by her words that before he could react, his arm was cut.

He subconsciously covered the wound.

Looking at Annan with blood on her face, I suddenly felt that she was like a ghost from hell who had come out to collect debts.

It made him feel cold all over.

An Nan didn't care what he was thinking. He picked up the kitchen knife and chopped at Qian Ying'er next to him.

Qian Ying'er screamed, and her instinct for survival made her turn around and run, not caring about her injured cousin.

Seeing this, Bai Wenbin quickly turned around and ran downstairs.

Annan did not chase them. He looked at their fleeing figures with a playful smile.

She wouldn't just kill them like that.

It was just to scare the brother and sister and let them get hurt a little.

In the last days, living with nothing is the most painful thing.

Killing them with one blow actually becomes a way to free them.

After they have experienced all the sufferings of the last days, she will send them to see King Yan. Only in this way can she get back the debt she owed in her previous life!

Thinking of their miserable appearance, Annan returned home in a happy mood.

On the other side, Bai Wenbin and his sister ran back home crawling.

I originally wanted to get Annan's house and food for free, but I didn't expect that I couldn't even get to the door of room 1402 and returned empty-handed.

She almost got chopped to death!

Qian Ying'er was so angry that she screamed like a woodchuck.

"Is this bastard crazy? How dare he chop us with a knife!"

Bai Wenbin was so frightened at this time that he covered his wound and said, "Quick, find some gauze to help me stop the bleeding!"

After hurriedly bandaging the wound, the brother and sister sat down on the sofa dejectedly.

After a while, Qian Ying'er suddenly stood up, looking grim:

"This ungrateful bastard must be taught a lesson!"
