Chapter 113 Xiao Zheyu, a refugee
The tornado came suddenly and left gracefully, leaving behind a horrifying scene.
After the disaster reconstruction, the indoor planting and power plants that the floating city had built with great difficulty were all turned into ruins. The streets were littered with broken stones, debris and wreckage.
Near the center of the tornado, corpses falling from high altitudes could be seen everywhere. Some people were thrown against the wall by the tornado and smashed to pieces, with blood and internal organs splattered everywhere.
These tragic scenes make people feel the insignificance and fragility of human beings in the face of natural forces.
But the survivors had no time to grieve. In order to survive, they needed to adjust their mentality and look for supplies as soon as possible.
In the ruins, a thin boy saw a pack of biscuits scattered on the ground not far away. At the same time, another man who was looking for supplies nearby also saw the biscuits.
The boy ignored the man, rushed over, hurriedly swept the biscuits into a ball, picked them up with his clothes and ran away.
The man saw someone dare to pull teeth from a tiger's mouth, and immediately stopped the boy, "Hey! Put the things down!"
The boy held the biscuit tightly without saying a word. Seeing this, the man stopped talking nonsense and hit the boy with his clenched fist.
Although the boy looked frail, he was very agile. He dodged the punch in a few moves, kicked the man in the crotch, and then ran away.
Suddenly, several people appeared at the intersection. The boy ran too fast and had no time to brake, so he bumped directly into the chest of the leader.
"Brother Jin! This kid stole our supplies!" said the man who chased after him.
The boy quickly retorted, "I didn't steal his supplies. I picked up the biscuit first!"
Wang Shijin frowned and glared at the man. "Didn't I tell you not to steal other people's supplies before you left? You ignored my words! Do you want to be kicked out of the community?"
The man turned his head away guiltily and didn't dare to answer.
Wang Shijin sighed and looked at the boy, "I'm sorry, I didn't take good care of you. Are you injured? Do you need to go to the medical station?"
Before the young man could even open his mouth, the man next to him interrupted, "He was not injured at all. I didn't even hit him, and he almost killed me."
One of the onlookers joked, "Haha, hasn't Xia Xiaoman already destroyed your life?"
The man was so anxious when he heard it, "Your life force is ruined! I blocked it with my hand during the competition. It was Zhang Quan who was kicked in the crotch by Xia Xiaoman. He even secretly went to the medical station for treatment."
The few people were busy talking, but they didn't notice that the young man's face had changed. He asked with a tense face: "Is the Xia Xiaoman you are talking about a woman who is about 1.5 meters tall and likes to play with axes?"
Wang Shijin narrowed his eyes and asked, "Do you know her?"
"Yes. Where is she now?"
"Who are you to her and what do you want to do with her?" Wang Shijin continued to ask.
The boy licked his cracked lips and said in a hoarse voice: "My name is Xiao Yu, Xia Xiaoman owes me money, I want to collect the debt from her."
Wang Shijin stared at him for a long time, and this set of words sounded very fake. But seeing that this guy was as thin as a firewood stick, even if there was a problem, Xia Xiaoman could knock him down with one punch.
After thinking for a while, he said, "Xia Xiaoman lives in Shuiyue Bay. If you want to find her, go directly to Shuiyue Bay."
…
After about half an hour, the boy, Xiao Zheyu, finally found Shuiyue Bay.
After a body search, he was taken to the property department.
Aunt Xing brought a glass of water and placed it in front of him, but he didn't dare to drink it. He sat on the chair uncomfortably holding the glass.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, he saw Xia Xiaoman appear at the door.
"Sister Xiaoman..." Tears welled up in Xiao Zheyu's eyes, and it took a lot of willpower to suppress the urge to cry.
At this moment, Xiao Zheyu was terribly thin, with his cheeks and eye sockets deeply sunken, leaving only a layer of skin hanging loosely on his body. He was completely different from the conceited and showy person before.
Xia Xiaoman looked at him in surprise and asked in disbelief: "Xiao Zheyu, is it really you? How come you are so thin?"
Xiao Zheyu forced a smile, "Something happened, and we ran out of supplies. It's okay, don't worry, just lose some weight. When I was fat before, I couldn't lose weight even if I wanted to."
This kind of thing is not funny at all. Xia Xiaoman knew that something bad might have happened to him, so she didn't rush to ask him. She turned to look at Aunt Xing and said, "Aunt Xing, has my friend's information been registered?"
Aunt Xing nodded, "The registration is done, you can bring him into the community."
Xia Xiaoman thanked him and took Xiao Zheyu back to the community.
They were silent all the way. When they got home, she went to the kitchen and took out two packs of biscuits and threw them to Xiao Zheyu, "Fill your stomach first. I'll cook some noodles for you."
Xiao Zheyu quickly said, "Sister, don't bother. I'm not hungry. I've already eaten a large bag of biscuits on the way here."
Xia Xiaoman ignored his words and went to the kitchen to cook two packs of instant noodles. It was not because she was reluctant to give Xiao Zheyu good food, but because instant noodles cooked faster.
The person in the living room who said he was not hungry couldn't stop swallowing his saliva when he smelled the aroma of instant noodles, and he looked towards the kitchen countless times.
Xiao Zheyu was so greedy that he could not help but tear open the biscuits Xia Xiaoman gave him and slowly nibble on them. After eating two packs of biscuits, he was able to suppress his greed.
When he finished eating the biscuits, the instant noodles were just cooked. Putting the noodles on the table, Xia Xiaoman said, "Eat first, and we'll talk after dinner."
Xiao Zheyu was really hungry. He could still hold back before he saw the noodles, but now the fragrant noodles were right in front of him. He picked up the chopsticks, picked up a ball of noodles and stuffed it into his mouth. He was reluctant to spit it out even though his lips turned red from the heat.
As Xiao Zheyu ate, tears began to fall. He ate and cried at the same time, as if he had suffered a great injustice.
Xia Xiaoman didn't ask anything. She got up and went to the kitchen. She waited until Xiao Zheyu calmed down before she went out with a glass of boiled water.
Putting the water in front of him, Xia Xiaoman asked, "Didn't you go back to your hometown? When did you come to Fucheng?"
Xiao Zheyu wiped his red and swollen eyes and answered honestly: "I just arrived in Fucheng the day before yesterday. I was going to look for you yesterday, but I encountered a tornado."
"Why did you suddenly return to Floating City and make yourself look like a refugee? Where are your family members?" Xia Xiaoman continued to ask.
Xiao Zheyu's face changed, and he said with a choked voice: "I... don't have any family..."
