Chapter 144 A Valuable News
As she expected, all kinds of cute little seafood were slowly crawling on the seabed, and Xu Sichen was so happy that he even let out a few bubbles.
With just a grab, a handful of kelp was put into the storage space, followed by sea cucumbers, abalone, and conch, one after another.
In this way, Xu Sichen worked all night in the island space.
When I went downstairs, I saw that Wei Mingliang was still working there with dark circles under his eyes.
Under Xu Sichen's warning gaze, Wei Mingliang stopped his business embarrassedly.
The business was stopped, but the people in the queue did not leave. They just sat down and waited for the next opening.
There were so many people queuing that they circled the community several times.
If the sun outside wasn't so strong and there wasn't enough shade around, the queue would probably be longer.
Even if the business is closed after 5 o'clock, they will not go and will just stay there overnight until it is their turn.
So much so that Wei Mingliang had no privacy when he wanted to clean up the house on the 11th floor, and he even installed a folding sliding door in the security door.
Wei Mingliang opens his shop on time every day, not a minute more or less. After all, he is still very busy installing solar energy on the rooftop, on the windows, and even on the exterior walls of the two-story building.
His goal is to use solar energy to meet all electricity needs, thus saving oil.
I also have to find time to rebuild the vegetable garden.
At the same time, Haichuan Base.
A row of stylish jeeps drove out of the base gate, attracting a large number of onlookers from the base.
"This is our base commander, so impressive!"
"What are you going to do with all this big talk?"
"Shh! Keep your voice down. The base commander's whereabouts cannot be discussed casually." The person next to him glanced at the guard not far away and reminded him in a low voice.
"Commander, we've arrived at Xijiang Mountain!"
The convoy stopped at the foot of Xijiang Mountain, and a group of people slowly got out of the car.
The middle-aged man in the lead looked at the mountain in front of him and said in a deep voice: "Go into the mountain!"
The group walked into the forest, and in less than half an hour, everyone had a painful expression on their face.
There is no other reason. It is just because the mountain forest is hot and stuffy under high temperature, and there are many snakes, insects, rats and ants. It is not something that ordinary people can withstand.
But they all gritted their teeth and said nothing.
After all, the base commander hasn't complained yet.
After persisting for five or six hours, the marching team finally stopped.
But before they could catch their breath, they heard the roar of the base commander in front of them.
"Who, who stole my things? If I find out who did it, I'll skin him alive!"
Yu Dahai, the base commander of Haichuan Base, looked at the big pit in front of him and his face turned green with anger.
The high temperature and the anger made him fall headfirst into the pit.
It immediately caused a burst of exclamations!
At this time, the person whom Yu Dahai threatened to skin alive was looking at the grown grains, vegetables and fruits in the space. He happily turned around and ran into the mall, sold the fish and seafood in the storage space, exchanged them for a lot of grain seeds, and then happily planted them.
At this moment, Wei Mingliang was busy running the convenience store.
As more and more people lined up, he had to speed up and try to serve more people in the limited time.
Naturally, many people were talking behind the store's back about its constant supply of goods.
"Tell me about Xu Sichen, a girl from a poor family, where on earth did she get so many supplies? Even if the whole house was filled with supplies, it wouldn't be enough for her to exchange like this."
"I've calculated that if I exchange supplies today, I can pass one."
Before he could finish, he was interrupted by his wife.
"Okay, why do you care where other people's supplies come from? We are lucky to have such a big guy in the same community. Don't try to do anything wrong. As long as you can..."
"What evil ideas can I have? I'm just curious."
"It's not okay to be curious. I'm telling you, don't say that again."
"I see. This is home, I just mentioned it casually."
"You can't say anything casually. Don't you know that words can cause trouble? If you have this time, you might as well think about how to find more gold, silver and jade."
"Nearly 70% of the buildings in Jiangcheng have collapsed. Many people have gone to the ruins to search for supplies. Why don't we go and take a look?"
…
Wei Mingliang: "What do you want to exchange?"
The man opposite was tall but very thin. He was accompanied by a teenage boy who was also very thin. It seemed that he had a hard life.
But these days, who doesn't look like this?
The man was very reserved. He rubbed his hands and whispered, "Well, I, we don't have any gold, silver or jade."
As soon as he finished speaking, he attracted the dissatisfaction of the people behind him: "What are you doing here if you don't have any gold, silver or jade? The store only accepts gold, silver or jade. Aren't you wasting the shop assistant's time?"
"Are you trying to act pitiful and gain sympathy? The boss said he won't accept beggars!"
"No, no, we are not here to beg!" The man waved his hands to deny it, his dark face flushed red, and he stammered and couldn't speak for a while.
The young man next to him, however, was much calmer and spoke clearly, "We are not beggars. We came here to ask if we can exchange information for supplies."
"What news?" Wei Mingliang asked curiously.
Ignoring the ridicule from the people behind him, the boy took a note from the man and handed it to Wei Mingliang inside the door, then looked at him nervously.
This is their family's last hope, as their mother and sister are sick.
He and his father went out to look for supplies. After searching for a long time, they finally got some expired food, but it was snatched away by someone. So he lined up with the mentality of giving it a try.
"I, we just want to give it a try, and if we can't change it, then forget it."
Wei Mingliang: "Wait a moment."
Then he ran upstairs.
Not long after, he came down, and Xu Sichen came down with him.
Xu Sichen looked into the man's eyes and said calmly, "Are you sure there's something inside?"
The man was a little nervous, but still said firmly: "I, I'm sure! I used to be a staff member inside. Because the disaster came so quickly, I didn't have time to move the things inside. I thought I would deal with it after the disaster."
But now everyone in Jiangcheng has moved to Haishi, so naturally the things inside have not been moved.
Xu Sichen: "You can change it. What do you want?"
The man was stunned with surprise. The boy was also very excited, but he suppressed his excitement and said, "We want some medicine to relieve the heat stroke, such as, if possible, some water and food."
As he said this, he lowered his head somewhat embarrassedly.
He didn't know how much this information was worth, so he could only say what he wanted.
Looking at what was sent out from the door, both the father and the son were stunned.
