Chapter 58 Hello, Can I Call You Brother?
The injury on Chen Que's arm was only minor to begin with, and after a few days of rest, it has now completely healed.
The army had previously taken away a large number of residents, and Meng Ci and Shen Que had killed seven people from Deng Yang.
Now, there are only eight people in the building including Meng Ci.
Five of them were teachers from the same high school. During the five days of heavy rain, they felt that something was wrong and banded together.
They are all ambitious young people in their twenties or twenties, who have just graduated from graduate school and have only taught high school students for a year.
The five people all graduated from the same school and taught overlapping classes, so the relationship between them should be more solid.
Among them was a physics teacher who, relying on the knowledge he had learned, made a paper boat out of cardboard on the sixth day of the rainstorm and took everyone out to buy food.
He was even far-sighted enough to buy a speedboat.
The heavy rain did not stop, and the food sent by the government was withheld, causing dissatisfaction among the residents of the building.
Several teachers knew that if they advertised that they had food, they would only attract everyone's attention, so when they ran out of food, they would go out to look for food in the dead of night.
People also come here to collect food distributed by the government on weekdays.
Because the two girls knew how to put on makeup, every time they went out to meet people, they would make themselves look extremely weak, as if they had been hungry for several days.
Every time the five people took the food, they left quietly and never caused any trouble.
If Meng Ci and Shen Que hadn't gone out to look for firewood yesterday and happened to run into them, the few of them would have chatted for a while.
I’m afraid Meng Ci doesn’t even know that there are several powerful people in the building.
The five people also rescued a high school student. I heard that his parents were ruthlessly washed away by the flood when they went out to find food because they were too hungry.
When five teachers rescued him, the boy was being bullied by some thugs.
The boy was handsome, so he was alone and helpless and became the target of bullying.
Fortunately, they rescued him in time and prevented him from being really bullied.
However, Meng Ci was very surprised why the teachers did not go to the refugee resettlement site.
After all, even Si Chen and the others chose to go to the refugee resettlement site, but they didn’t expect that several of their teachers were here.
After learning about Meng Ci's confusion, several teachers explained that it was because they felt they did not need help now and should leave their place for more people who needed help.
They have hands and feet, so they can live a good life.
One of the male teachers, who teaches biology, started growing vegetables on the balcony of his room. I heard that they have achieved vegetable freedom.
A few teachers had just graduated from school with a warm heart, unaware of the evil nature of human nature.
Meng Ci thinks they are all very noble people, he just hopes that they will not be defeated by the cruel society in the future.
Several teachers saw that Meng Ci was about the same age as the students they had taught before.
Even if some people say how powerful he is and how he hurt people, I still feel that for a senior high school student to be forced into this state, it must be because he was bullied too badly.
"So, do you want to come with us?"
A female teacher named Yun Jingcen, who taught Chinese to high school students. She had big eyes, double eyelids, and fair skin.
Thinking that Meng Ci was also a child, several teachers decided to protect Meng Ci as well.
Meng Ci shook his head: "No, thank you Teacher Yun for your kindness."
"It's just that I built a wall there, so it should be safer than an ordinary house."
Yun Jingcen nodded to show his understanding.
Then I thought that for a child of this age, I should just go along with him. At worst, if I found something good, I could share some with him.
The fifty-seventh day of the end of the world.
The temperature has dropped to two or three degrees, and it will be below zero in a few days. We have to hurry and find some firewood.
Meng Ci and Shen Que both unanimously decided to go out and salvage some wood.
The trees that were knocked down by the flood around the residential buildings had already been salvaged by them, so Meng Ci and Shen Que could only drive the speedboat to a farther place.
The direction was where Meng Ci and his team had been looking for coal before.
The flood here has reached the third floor, and some lower buildings have been completely submerged.
After finding a suitable piece of wood, Meng Ci and Shen Que tied a rope to the wood, climbed up to the roof of a building that had not been flooded, and pulled the wood up with all their strength.
Although there was water on the roof, it was better than being in a flood.
The rain was too heavy to use an electric saw, so Chen Que took a manual saw and started cutting the wood into sections for easier transportation.
When Zhang Mingtian left, he returned the rubber boat that Meng Ci had given them, which was just right for loading firewood.
They stacked the wood neatly on the rubber boat, connected the rubber boat and the speedboat with ropes, and put a lot of wood on the speedboat. Then the two drove the speedboat back home.
There was nothing much in the building now, and Meng Ci believed that Yun Jingcen and the others would definitely not bother to take his little piece of wood.
Therefore, after moving the things into the house, Meng Ci and Shen Que went upstairs to have a meal before starting to move.
"Brothers, do you need my help?"
Meng Ci and Shen Que went upstairs to carry the wood. When they came down, they suddenly saw a boy wearing a white down jacket and light blue jeans.
She has black hair, a pair of bright and clear eyes, dimples on her cheeks and fair skin.
He is estimated to be about 1.76 meters tall, with a chubby face, and looks like a cute boy.
I think this is the high school student that Yun Jingcen and his friends rescued - Ruan Qing.
Yun Jingcen and the others doted on this child very much, and even felt that as teachers, they should do more. They never let Ruan Qing do any work, and even when they found something delicious, they would give it to him first.
Naturally, Meng Ci and the others didn't dare to order such a precious student around.
"Thank you for your kindness, we can do it ourselves!" Meng Ci rejected his kindness and even reminded him that it was cold outside and he should go home quickly.
Ruan Qing didn't listen to him, but followed the two people downstairs.
"Brother Meng, ah, can I call you like this?"
When Meng Ci heard this, alarm bells immediately went off in his mind.
No, why does this way of speaking sound so familiar?
"Brother Meng?" Ruan Qing shouted.
Meng Ci came back to his senses and cleared his throat, "You can call me big brother."
What is the word "brother"? It doesn't sound powerful or majestic enough.
Ruan Qing refused, "But calling me Brother Meng sounds nicer."
"Brother Meng, what do you think?"
Meng Ci felt like he was getting goose bumps all over his body.
However, the other person looked at him with wet eyes, and he really couldn't bear to refuse.
"Okay, whatever you want!" Meng Ci sighed.
Ruan Qing was happy now, "Brother Meng, you can call me Ruan Ruan, or Qing Qing!"
Soft? Clear?
Meng Ci felt that he could call her that, but it was a girl’s name.
And it's too embarrassing to shout out the same words again.
but!
Then Meng Ci thought, this guy might be interested in me!
Otherwise why come to find me.
