Chapter 47 Going Out
Qian Li and Wu Dawei both looked very unhappy.
They didn't say whether they would go or not, they just stared at Xu Sichen with naked ill will in their eyes.
Haha, he wanted to intimidate her with his eyes and force her to agree.
She wasn't raised to be scared.
Xu Sichen was too lazy to argue with them and looked directly at Sun Caifeng and said, "Sister Sun, it seems that Sister Qian doesn't want to go anymore. Do you still want to go? If not, then I will leave by myself."
"Go, Xiao Xu, I'm going." Sun Caifeng said quickly, "It's raining so hard that we can't even go out. If I don't go out to buy some food, my family will run out of food."
"Okay, then let's go now. If it's any later, I'm afraid I won't be able to buy anything." As he said that, Xu Sichen took out an inflatable kayak from his backpack, turned on the switch of the portable automatic air pump, and started to inflate it.
This is different from the kayak she used to pick up packages before. That one is larger and can be equipped with an electric motor, so it is naturally more expensive.
Now this is a small portable kayak that can be inflated and deflated, can be carried with you, and is much cheaper.
Sun Caifeng was stunned for a moment, but didn't say anything.
Qian Li couldn't help but ask, "Xiao Xu, your kayak is different from the previous one. I think the one you were in before is a bit bigger."
I originally wanted to say a few words to him, saying that he had extra kayaks but didn't lend them to his neighbor.
But seeing that Xu Sichen was really determined not to let Wu Dawei get on board and even wanted to leave her behind, Qian Li suddenly became anxious.
"Xiao Xu, what are you doing? We agreed to go together this morning, you can't go back on your word!"
Xu Sichen completely ignored her and watched the inflation progress by himself. Qian Li sighed and said, "Hey, kid, why are you so serious? If you don't want Brother Wu to go, then why don't you let him go?"
After the inflation was completed, Xu Sichen got on the boat, followed by Sun Caifeng.
"Dawei, you go back first. I remember everything the family needs and I will buy it all." After saying that, Qian Li was afraid that they would abandon her, so she hurriedly followed them.
Wu Dawei nodded, looked at Xu Sichen gloomily, then turned and went upstairs to leave.
The kayak belonged to Xu Sichen, so the task of rowing fell on Sun Caifeng and Qian Li.
Qian Li stammered and wanted to say something, but when she thought about what had just happened, she wisely shut up.
As we left the community, the water was obviously much deeper.
At least in the community, you can still see the ground when you look down at the water, but the accumulated water outside is dark and deep.
On the water, kayaks and speedboats are coming and going.
There were rescuers, people who came out to buy things on their own, and people who came out to deliver food in delivery uniforms.
This made Sun Caifeng and Qian Li both scared.
"Oh my god, how deep is the water? If I fall in accidentally, will I drown?"
"We'd better be careful. Look at the community over there. Only the top of the window is left on the first floor. If you calculate it this way, the depth is at least two or three meters." Sun Caifeng said nervously.
"This damn God, does he want to drown us all? Why does the rain never stop?" Qian Li complained.
Throughout the whole process, the voices of Sun Caifeng and Qian Li were the only ones talking, while Xu Sichen sat in the middle, looking at his phone without saying a word.
Qian Li was curious, so she looked up and took a closer look, and found that she was placing an order on the food delivery app.
"Xiao Xu, are you ordering takeout?" Qian Li said with a click of her tongue, "Hey, Xiao Xu, I can tell you're not short of money. Takeout delivery fees are so high these days, and you're still willing to order takeout."
This was a secret resentment against Xu Sichen for charging them for the boat ride.
Sun Caifeng immediately understood what Qian Li meant. Fearing another argument, she quickly found a topic to interrupt Qian Li's outburst: "By the way, Xiao Xu, our community has a group buying group. Would you like to join? The community property has contacted some merchants and will send some items over from time to time. You can then pre-order in the group."
"What group buying group? I think it was set up by the property management people to make money. Fifty yuan for a cabbage, why don't they grab it?" Qian Li complained with dissatisfaction.
Sun Caifeng just smiled and ignored her.
Upon hearing this, Xu Sichen raised his head and said, "I've just moved into the community and haven't even joined the community owner group. Could you trouble Sister Sun to add me in?"
Sun Caifeng: "What do you mean by troublesome or not? I'll drag you in when I get back."
It took them more than half an hour to row the short three-kilometer distance.
Tianshui Square was newly built two years ago, and its ground height cannot be compared with that of ordinary residential buildings.
Even the communities with higher ground have been flooded to a depth of more than one meter, but here the flood has only reached the square, and the shopping mall has not yet been flooded.
Yongfeng Supermarket is located on the first floor of Tianshui Plaza.
The three men got out of the kayak, and the water was just above their ankles.
Sun Caifeng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and said, "Hey, we're finally on shore! I was floating on the water just now and I was afraid I would fall in."
"There are so many people here. Let's go quickly!" As soon as Qian Li got ashore, she wanted to run to the supermarket anxiously.
I was afraid that if I was a step slower, the things would be snatched away.
There was no intention of waiting for Xu Sichen and Sun Caifeng at all.
Xu Sichen started to deflate the kayak and prepared to put it back in his bag.
Sun Caifeng wanted to help Xu Sichen pack up the kayak, but she was worried about Qian Li. She was afraid that she would get lost and not be able to get back. She quickly called out, "Qian Li, come back! If you get lost, there will be no one waiting for you. You'll never know how you'll get back!"
His tone was filled with impatience.
If possible, she really doesn't want to care.
But this person came out with them after all, and the Wu family is difficult to deal with, so there is nothing they can do but watch her.
Hearing this, Qian Li reluctantly walked back: "Haha, Sister Sun, with so many people here, I'm afraid that everything will be sold out by then, and my trip will be in vain."
There were indeed a lot of people in the square, and people kept coming over in kayaks. Judging from their posture, they were all here to stock up on supplies.
"Hey, look, there are soldiers there! They're wearing uniforms!"
"Really? They're here to maintain law and order, right? I heard there was a robbery here a few days ago, and the windows of the mall were all smashed."
"Robbery? Is it that scary?"
"That's nothing. We're already doing well here. Haven't you seen the news reports? It's all crazy overseas, with looting and vandalism everywhere."
Listening to the discussions of the people around them, Sun Caifeng and Qian Li couldn't help but sigh.
Only Xu Sichen remained calm. He put the kayak into his backpack and walked quickly towards the mall.
It's just a robbery, what's the big deal?
There will be more and more such incidents in the future until the entire human order disappears completely.
The three of them followed the crowd into the mall.
There were so many people inside, it was very crowded. Even if you didn't move, there would be people pushing you forward.
The soldiers guarding on both sides gave people a great sense of security. Xu Sichen looked carefully and found that they were all equipped with guns.
On the left side of the first floor of the mall is a supermarket, on the right side is a cosmetics counter, the second floor is women's clothing, the third floor is men's clothing, the fourth floor is a food area, and the fifth floor is a cinema.
Among them, the most people go to supermarkets.
There were so many people at the grain and oil counter that it was difficult to squeeze in for a while.
