Chapter 49 Jiang Fei sets up a stall for the second time



Jiang Fei really didn't understand this time: "What's the matter, Lin Bo?"

Xu Qianyao explained: "A few days ago, someone threw a bunch of snakes and insects into Lin Bo's home. He was frightened and became sick, and was bitten several times."

"Lin Bo contacted the authorities and suspected that you were the one who took revenge on him. I happened to be in charge of this film, so I came to ask you."

Jiang Fei answered frankly: "I haven't done it."

"I also think this matter has nothing to do with you, but according to the rules, I still have to ask."

"It's strange. Our people checked Linbo's house and found no signs of damage or prying on the doors and windows. The pipe openings were blocked with foam glue. Unless that person could walk through the wall, how could he throw snakes and insects into the house?"

Jiang Fei found the key point: "It's the pipe opening."

"The foam glue can be softened with alcohol, and then poked gently with a small stick to remove it."

"That person may have sneaked into Lin Bo's house upstairs and thrown snakes and insects down the pipe opening, and then filled it with foam glue."

Lu Yu, who was standing at the end, was sweating profusely after listening to this.

Not noticing anything unusual about Lu Yu, Xu Qianyao suddenly realized, "So that's how it is. No wonder we didn't find any clues."

"But the residents upstairs from Lin Bo's house have already died from an insect plague, and there is no surveillance, so I'm afraid this matter will have to be left unresolved."

"The temperature has dropped abnormally recently. Try not to go out and keep warm."

After giving the instructions, Xu Qianyao left the 22nd floor.

Xiao Chuxia couldn't hold back her curiosity and asked Jiang Fei, "Sister, they searched 2202 just now and didn't find any guns or flamethrowers. Where did you hide the dangerous goods?"

"Inside the air conditioner." Jiang Fei randomly mentioned a place and said:

"Shouldn't you do some push-ups?"

Xiao Chuxia: “…”

Xiao Chuxia suddenly lost the mood to chat. She walked into 2203 with a sigh, and Ling Zhaorui instructed her in the movements.

Jiang Fei was still standing by to supervise the counting when suddenly something rubbed his ankle.

Look down.

Lu Yu released Dahuang out of the cat villa.

Da Huang was rubbing his head against Jiang Fei affectionately.

"The big yellow cat is bored staying in there, please play with it for a while." Lu Yu found a cat toy and handed it to Jiang Fei. Jiang Fei lowered his eyes guiltily and didn't look at her.

Lin Bo knew there was a gun on the 22nd floor and would most likely report it to the authorities.

He originally planned to use snakes and insects to solve the danger, but he didn't expect the other party to be lucky enough to survive, and even nearly implicated his neighbors.

He could not think of anything he could use to compensate his neighbors except rhubarb and gold.

Not knowing that this was Lu Yu's "compensation", Jiang Fei waved the cat toy expressionlessly, but he was actually very happy in his heart.

Mimi is so cute!

I really want to bury my face in its belly and suck it till I’m satisfied!

When Dahuang was tired of playing, Jiang Fei reluctantly carried it back to the cat villa to sleep.

Xiao Chuxia's training has not yet ended. She is doing frog jumps hard. Lu Yu is also ready to compete with Ling Zhaorui.

Jiang Fei did not disturb the three people, and quietly went out, preparing to go back to his home to catch up on his sleep.

But when I got home, I heard footsteps coming from outside the door.

It seemed like someone was lingering at the stairs.

Jiang Fei took out his short knife as usual, turned his back, walked over to the door and turned on the power.

It was Old Mrs. Xu, and she was carrying two large bags.

Jiang Fei immediately put the knife into the supermarket warehouse.

"Grandma Xu, why are you here?"

"Jiang girl, I'm sorry about what happened today. I almost hurt you. You must accept these things."

Without giving Jiang Fei a chance to speak, Mrs. Xu forced the bag into her hands and hurried downstairs, saying,

"If you chase me, I'll get scared and fall down the stairs."

Jiang Fei stopped helplessly and suddenly caught a glimpse of a touch of red in the bag.

Two of the bags contained convenience foods, and at the top of one of the bags was a hand-knitted scarf.

There are two strips on the ground, both in festive bright red.

On the edge of the scarf, two small words were embroidered with yellow thread: Peace.

There was a note tucked inside the scarf.

[You and Xiao Yatou each make one, don’t despise grandma’s craftsmanship]

Jiang Fei gently touched the soft scarf in his hand, with the corners of his lips slightly raised.

So warm.

Finding that the temperature had not changed for two consecutive days, remaining around -1 degree Celsius, Jiang Fei decided to go out.

She wanted to collect gold in the central square before the extreme cold came completely.

Jiang Fei had no teammates, so he asked Xiao Chuxia to train with Lu Yu, then he put on a warm suit and went downstairs with the rubber boat.

The 22nd floor was not cold despite the heater, but it was different downstairs.

After experiencing a plague of rats and insects, Building A no longer had anything to burn, and the residents had to rely entirely on the government-issued cotton-padded clothes to keep warm.

Some of the corridor windows were broken, and cold winds blew in, forcing people to squeeze into one room and huddle together for warmth.

When seeing Jiang Fei fully armed, some people were ready to take action.

Crazy Jiang even has warm masks, which ensures that there are plenty of warm supplies.

But when they thought of the tragic deaths of several people before, they gave up the idea.

The authorities are distributing food and cotton clothes now, and the district is collecting quilts the next day, so they should not cause trouble for themselves.

Maybe in a few days, the heating will be available in Magnolia Garden?

Everyone withdrew their gaze.

Jiang Fei inflated the rubber boat and got out from the French window on the second floor.

The accumulated water was about four meters high and was not completely frozen. It was a mixture of ice and water, and oars were needed to clear the obstacle.

Dissatisfied with the slow speed of the rubber boat, Jiang Fei found a deserted place and switched to a speedboat to move forward. There were no traces of water snakes and poisonous mosquitoes around.

There are still a few centipedes and cockroaches, but they don't pose a threat.

The fountain area in the central square is more lively than the last time Jiang Fei came.

Most people came here sitting in large plastic basins or bathtubs, hoping to exchange the supplies they received from the Jixiang Hotel for some warm clothing or things they didn't have.

Jiang Fei chose a conspicuous position in the middle, took out the curtain cloth cut into squares from his backpack, used the oar as a pole, and supported the speedboat.

On Mi Yi's curtain cloth, written in red pen: [Collect gold in exchange for goods]

Afterwards, Jiang Fei laid out the supplies he brought.

5 pairs of ordinary cotton gloves, 5 cotton hats, 10 pairs of cotton socks, 10 packs of 5-piece heating pads, and 10 multi-functional disaster prevention and thermal insulation blankets.

In less than two minutes, someone rowed over.

"Little girl, how do you change these things?"

Jiang Fei: "10 grams of gold for one, pick whatever you want."

She has a lot of warm stuff, which she and her teammates cannot use up, so she might as well lower the price.

The main feature is high quality and low price, and a little adds up to a lot.

"This necklace of mine weighs 80 grams. I'd like to exchange it with you for 8 items." The man threw the gold necklace he was wearing to Jiang Fei.

There are official people nearby, so he is not afraid that the other party will blackmail him.

Jiang Fei put the gold into his pocket, but actually used the supermarket to test it.

System: [Ding——Gold detected: 80 grams]

"You can choose."

The man asked for a thermal blanket, a pair of cotton gloves, a hat, two pairs of socks, and three packs of heating pads.

"Phew—finally I don't have to suffer the cold anymore."

Some people think it's worth it, while naturally some people think Jiang Fei is a bad guy.

"Gold is so expensive per gram, and you can only buy these things. Are you robbing people?"

"If you make money through misfortune, you won't be afraid of retribution."

"They dared to ask for 10 grams of gold for something that normally costs less than a dollar. They are really crazy."

Jiang Fei ignored him, took off his warm mask, and took out a bag of melon seeds to crack.

I don’t want to listen, it’s just a turtle chanting sutras.

Seeing that Jiang Fei didn't respond, the people around him left after talking for a while in boredom.

Few people carry gold with them, and they believe that the disaster will end sooner or later, so they have to keep their valuables. As a result, Jiang Fei set up the stall for several hours, but only collected 150 grams, not counting the first customer.

It’s still a long way from 64,000 grams of gold.

Jiang Fei dejectedly packed the cloth strips and remaining supplies into his backpack and planned to go home.

Suddenly, a speedboat with a tiger pattern on it approached.

"Hey, I haven't seen you for a few days. How did you manage to set up a stall here, cousin?"
