Chapter 220: The Water Seller

Annan coughed lightly and prepared to go out.

Fugui looked at his host, then at Gu Zhiyu who was walking towards the kitchen with an apron tied on, his face full of confusion.

Annan looked at him with amusement: "Silly dog, stay home. You can eat first when the meal is ready."

The dog rolled his eyes and thought about it, then decided to stay at home obediently.

The world outside is free, but it has just been explored.

Most importantly…

It twisted its butt and staggered to the kitchen.

When Gu Zhiyu is cooking, he always throws it some minced meat, duck butts, bread edges, etc. It must not miss any of them.

Annan left the man and the dog behind and went out alone to meet Zhao Pingan and Chu Peipei.

The three of them returned to the gate of the community, only to find that it was even busier outside the gate than before.

Various stalls were thrown there haphazardly, and the stall owners all gathered in a place a little further away.

Chu Peipei stood on tiptoe and looked into the crowd: "What's going on over there?"

Zhao Ping'an also stretched his neck: "I can't see clearly."

Annan thought for a moment and said, "There was no stall at that place just now. There must be a new stall owner."

The things sold at that stall must be very popular, even more popular than the business of Isatis root, and it directly attracted people from the nearby area.

The three of them walked closer.

Chu Peipei: "Huh? That looks like a car, right?"

The crowd was packed tightly together, and the roof of a large vehicle was vaguely visible.

Zhao Ping'an carefully identified it for a while, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "That's a water tanker!"

Selling water?

No wonder it’s so popular.

Annan then vaguely remembered that there seemed to be people selling water at this time in his previous life.

The reason why she didn't think of it the first time was because she didn't see it with her own eyes.

This water truck had only come to their community once. She was unlucky that day and happened to be out looking for supplies. When she came back, the water seller had left and never came again.

She had to pay double the price to get some water from her neighbor.

Seeing that the person was selling water, Zhao Ping'an and Chu Peipei also wanted to squeeze in.

After all, their stored water was almost gone, and this was a rare opportunity to buy water, so of course they couldn't miss it.

Annan quickly stopped them and said, "Wait a minute, be careful not to step on others."

With so many people crowded together, if one is not careful one might fall down and a stampede could easily occur.

At this moment, a shout suddenly came from the crowd:

"Why are you pushing so hard? Get in line now!"

Annan was stunned.

Why does this voice sound so familiar?

Then, there was a gunshot and the surroundings immediately became quiet.

"I said, everyone, line up! For me!"

The crowd immediately dispersed and lined up obediently.

Only then did Annan see the water seller standing next to the water tanker with a pistol in hand.

"Jiang Weiming, Jiang Tian?"

Zhao Ping'an and Chu Peipei looked at her in surprise: "Do you know them?"

Annan nodded: "We have had some interactions before."

Aren't they selling medicine? Now they're selling water?

The Jiang brothers did not see Annan and were still shouting:

"Don't just stand there like an idiot, go home and get a bucket!"

"You don't even have a bucket, what are you going to use to get water? Are you expecting me to give it to you?"

"The food is ready. One bucket of water for one pound of food. No discounts!"

The water tanker truck had just arrived, and the people gathered there were all vendors from the market. Who had any water with them?

After hearing the Jiang brothers' calls, they hurried home to get buckets.

Zhao Ping'an and Chu Peipei also planned to go home again to get buckets of water.

Chu Peipei looked at Annan: "Nannan, don't you want to take it?"

Annan looked ahead and said, "I'll wait a moment, you guys go ahead."

Chu Peipei followed her gaze and looked at the two men selling water.

Nan Nan knew them and probably had something to say to them.

So he went back with Zhao Pingan first.

The crowd had almost dispersed, and Annan, who remained there, suddenly became very conspicuous.

Jiang Weiming recognized her quickly: "Miss An?"

Annan walked over and said hello: "Long time no see."

Only then did his younger brother Jiang Tian notice An Nan: "Miss An! What a coincidence!"

Then he asked, "Are you here to buy some water, too?"

Annan shook his head: "I'm not buying it. I live nearby."

Jiang Weiming nodded: "Miss An is so capable, she must not be short of water."

Then he smiled and said, "It's fate that brings us together. I never thought that we would set up a stall near your home."

Annan nodded: "What a coincidence."

Jiang Tian interrupted and said, "Thanks to Miss An, we made a small profit last time, so we took a break from selling things for a while, and we just happened to avoid the acid rain!"

Annan raised his lips and said, "You are lucky."

Then he looked at the water tanker behind them and asked: "Are you selling water now?"

Jiang Tianhui replied: "We have been selling water before, but we switched to selling Isatis root after the plague. Now that the plague and acid rain are over, we will continue to sell water."

Selling water all the time?

Annan was a little surprised.

These two brothers are really amazing. Not only can they get the herbs, but they also have plenty of water to sell.

Forget about the medicinal herbs, but where does the endless supply of water come from?

She looked at the water tanker curiously: "Can I see your water?"

Jiang Weiming nodded: "Of course."

Then he asked his younger brother to fetch a bucket of water.

Annan looked down and saw many unidentified floating objects in the water, as well as an indescribable strange smell.

"Why is the water so turbid?"

Jiang Tiandao said, "It is a little turbid. But water is hard to come by now, and the temperature is so high, it's good to have something to drink, and no one is picky."

Annan noticed that there were a few strands of hair floating in the water: "What is this...?"

Jiang Weiming took a look, moved closer to her, and whispered:

"Miss An, I'll tell you the truth. This water is the domestic wastewater of wealthy people."

“Domestic wastewater?”

Annan was surprised and asked, "How can there be such a large truckload of domestic wastewater?"

Even if she had an endless supply of water in her space, she didn't produce so much domestic wastewater, right?

Jiang Tian pouted and said, "You don't know that the richest people all have secret private reservoirs. Even though the city is already short of water, there are still people having swimming pool parties in the villa area!"

"Pool party?"

Even the well-informed Annan was surprised.

This is too luxurious...it's extremely hot now!

But when it comes to top rich people, she suddenly thought of Gu Zhiyu.

Could it be that he also has a share of the wastewater here?

At this time, many people had already got buckets of water and were lining up to buy water.

Annan thought for a moment and whispered to the Jiang brothers, "I can get water that is cleaner than this, but the price will be doubled. Do you want it?"
