"The resident of 2101 hasn't come out for a long time. I knocked on the door several times but no one answered. I'm worried that something has happened. I want you to help break the door open."
Old Mrs. Xu assured, "If there are any problems, they're all my responsibility."
"There is a little girl living in that house, her name is Zhou Lili, she is very sensible and polite, every time she sees me she smiles and calls me grandma, I don't want her to have that."
Jiang Fei did not refuse. He went upstairs to get an axe and broke the door lock in two or three strokes.
A foul smell hit me in the face.
Several red-eyed rats were running around in the living room, and centipedes and cockroaches were everywhere.
Jiang Fei took out a flamethrower to solve the problem, and he and Old Lady Xu found the resident of Room 2101 in the bedroom.
On the pink bed sheet lay a rotting corpse, some parts of which had been eaten by rats and insects until only bones were left.
Old Mrs. Xu gasped and almost fell down: "How could Lily become like this..."
"My condolences."
Jiang Fei, who is not good at comforting others, started to clean the bugs in the house. He unexpectedly found three bottles of foam and sealed all the pipes.
From beginning to end, I didn't see any food packaging bags.
On the contrary, the two jars of oil and salt were empty.
Jiang Fei roughly guessed the girl's cause of death: "She starved to death."
"Rats and bugs crawled in through the pipes and ate her body."
Old Mrs. Xu's figure swayed, and tears fell down: "This silly child...why didn't you come to me if you didn't have food..."
"Xiao Zhou and his wife are so cruel! They have been working away from home for many years and have ignored Lili. Not only do they not give her much money, they don't even leave any food at home. It's pitiful for this good child..."
After calming down, Old Lady Xu gently held Jiang Fei's hand and said, "Thank you, Miss Jiang, for today."
"If Mr. and Mrs. Zhou come here in the future, I will tell them about the door."
"Okay." Jiang Fei closed the door and helped Old Lady Xu get rid of the bugs before going upstairs to ask Lu Yu for help.
The two of them moved a large table and placed it at the entrance of the stairs on the 21st floor.
Knowing what Jiang Fei was going to do, Lu Yu also brought a round battery-powered clock: "We can't stay here all day, we can set a time for the exchange and let those people come up on time."
Jiang Fei also had this idea, but he didn't expect Lu Yu to take the clock: "Thank you, I'll send you two packets of insect repellent powder later."
"Actually, sometimes you don't have to be so polite. We are on the same team and we are friends."
His neighbors helped him a lot, so what he did was not worth mentioning.
What's more, they are now trusting their backs to the opponent's teammates, so there is no need for the little guys to calculate too much.
Jiang Fei thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll accept it."
Lu Yu smiled and nodded, his eyes and brows beneath the transparent mask showing softness and tenderness, just like a pool of spring water that is alluring.
Jiang Fei had to admit that Lu Yu was really handsome.
It's very pleasing to the eyes.
After separating from Lu Yu, Jiang Fei went downstairs to find the man with the trash can on his head, and used a pack of instant noodles to ask him to spread the news -
"Starting at 12 noon every day, anyone who catches centipedes and cockroaches can go to the staircase on the 21st floor to exchange them for food. It only takes three hours a day, and gold can also be used to exchange."
"If the insect is dead, the body of the insect must be intact."
"Live bugs need to be packed separately, otherwise the centipedes will eat the cockroaches."
"A 500ml bottle can be exchanged for a bag of bread or a pack of compressed biscuits."
"There is a clock on the staircase on the 21st floor. If anyone doesn't follow the rules or is not punctual and wants to have sex, then they will be fed to insects."
The man holding the trash can wrote down everything: "How do we collect the gold?"
"100 grams can be traded for the same supplies as insects. If it's over 1,000 grams, you can exchange it for two kinds of food, plus a bottle of drinking water."
She was so short of gold.
It doesn’t matter if she spends a little more on supplies, unlocking the supermarket will bring her more!
After arranging the affairs of the Yi family, Jiang Fei was 2201.
Xiao Chuxia was already processing the corpses of centipedes and cockroaches in the room, preparing to make medicine.
Jiang Fei did not disturb her. He moved the almost empty bucket to another place, filled it with water, and then sent her off.
In the past, Xiao Chuxia would collect stagnant water from outside, filter it with water purification tablets and then drink it.
There is an insect plague now. There are insect eggs in the water, so it is not safe to drink.
She has stockpiled so much water, wouldn't it be a waste if she doesn't use it?
The water buckets in Lu Yu's house were still full, and the amount was more than Xiao Chuxia's. Jiang Fei did not fill his buckets, but filled two 100-liter buckets and gave them to Ling Zhaorui.
Compared with the previous few days, Ling Zhaorui looked much better, but he still had to recover from his leg injury, so he walked with a limp.
Jiang Fei placed the bucket at the door: "There are insect eggs in the stagnant water. Don't go downstairs to fetch water. I will bring you water during this period."
Ling Zhaorui held the trekking pole in shame: "I can't drink much water by myself, you can take a bucket."
"You saved me, gave me a place to live, and food to eat, but I did nothing. I feel like a freeloader parasite..."
Jiang Fei interrupted Ling Zhaorui and said, "When Xiaoyi's mood stabilizes, you can teach me how to plant."
"When your leg injury is healed and you can go out, you must return these supplies to me."
"Okay!" Ling Zhaorui finally smiled.
㫠Jiang Fei, it’s better than taking her for nothing.
At least the psychological burden will not be too heavy.
—
The man with the trash can on his head was very efficient. The next day, when Jiang Fei and Xiao Chuxia carried boxes of supplies downstairs, the stairs on the 21st floor were already crowded with people.
Some held bottles or jars filled with insects, and some held gold.
Everyone dug out something useful and took some simple precautions to avoid being bitten by insects.
Maybe we killed too many cockroaches, there are no cockroaches flying in the air today.
Jiang Fei and Xiao Chuxia put down the box and opened it in front of everyone.
In addition to bread, compressed biscuits, and drinking water, there are also packaged instant noodles, sausages, and meat floss biscuits.
Everyone wanted to rush over immediately and grab the supplies.
They just knew! There was something good on the 22nd floor!
Noticing that someone had pushed the table crooked, Xiao Chuxia raised the loudspeaker Jiang Fei had given her and shouted, "Everyone, divide into two rows. Those with bugs stand over here, and those with gold stand over there."
"Don't cut in line, don't push, don't change unless someone else does!"
Jiang Fei took out a gun at the right time to intimidate.
The crowd quickly divided into two rows.
Xiao Chuxia was responsible for eating and trading insects, while Jiang Fei was responsible for collecting gold.
Every time he received a piece of gold, Jiang Fei pretended to put it in his backpack, but actually took it to the supermarket. He would only exchange it for the other party after confirming that there was no problem with the weight and it was real.
Some people are happy that they can exchange it for food, while others are dissatisfied.
The man who had just exchanged gold for supplies said, "Gold costs 400 to 500 yuan per gram, and my ring weighs 10 grams, which is more than 4,000 yuan. You just gave me two bags of instant noodles and a bottle of mineral water, which is not even worth 10 yuan. You are really taking advantage of the situation."
"It would be fair to exchange them at equal value."
Xiao Chuxia's people also echoed: "Cockroaches and centipedes will bite people, and the bites are painful and itchy, and there may be bacteria and viruses. We risk our lives to catch them, how can you just give us the same food?"
Xiao Chuxia said to Xiao: "The decision is in your hands. You don't have to change it."
"Gold was valuable in the past. Is it still valuable now? Can you survive on it?"
"Don't you know how important food is?"
Three consecutive questions left the person speechless.
Some people still refuse to give up: "But shouldn't we help each other?"
"You guys can't handle so much food..."
Bang!
The ceiling light in the corridor was shattered by Jiang Fei's gunshot.
"The last person who asked me to give out supplies for free is dead. Do you want to find him?"
Everyone thought of Xiaoguan's tragic death and shut their mouths at the same time.
"Change if you want, or get out of here if you don't want to. No one is forcing you."
Jiang Fei leaned back in his chair with a tough attitude, just like a bandit.
No one dared to do it anymore, so they just continued to exchange supplies honestly.
In Xiao Chuxia's team, a sturdy man wearing a bright red curtain changed the insects and said to Jiang Fei in a flattering manner:
"Jiang Jie, I was the one who threw the small tube into the water with melon seeds last time. Do you still need help?"
"Whoever wants to fight me can do it. You don't have to do it. It's a waste of bullets. Just give me something to eat."
Jiang Fei looked at the pillar.
He is of sturdy build and is the biggest guy in the crowd.
"Work for three hours and you get a bag of bread and a bag of compressed biscuits."
"Sure!" Zhuzi agreed happily.
Seeing this, others also recommended themselves.
Jiang Fei selected two more, also the same group of thugs from last time, and resumed his normal routine.
The seventh woman in the wheel of fortune is the golden hour.
System: [Ding——176 grams of fake gold detected, automatically cleared out of the supermarket.]
Jiang Fei:?
Fake???
