Chapter 4: Life is more important than money. Now is not the time to make money.
The supplies in the space piled up into small hills.
The medicines obtained from the pharmacy warehouse are quite complete.
Common medicines such as Ganmao Ling, Huanglian Qingrejiedu Pills, Ibuprofen, Vitamin C Yinqiao Tablets, Chuanbei Loquat Paste, Jizhi Syrup, Jianwei Xiaoshi Tablets, Compound Licorice Tablets, Watermelon Frost Lozenges...are all available.
She took out a screw-top bottle of medicine like Acute Respiratory Syrup and examined it, and found some residual stains on the mouth of the bottle.
Fortunately, there was a layer of tin foil on the bottle mouth, so the medicine inside was not contaminated. The pills and tablets sealed with tin foil were also intact. Only some of the bottles without tin foil were contaminated.
There are also various plasters, alcohol, mercurochrome, Yunnan Baiyao, gauze, hydrogen peroxide, iodine and other medicines available for external injuries. However, some of the alcohol was contaminated by the flood, and she plans to save it for alcohol lamps or to wipe off some stains that are difficult to wipe off.
There were medical supplies, masks, thermometers, and several boxes of biological supplies. The masks were sealed and luckily not contaminated, but the thermometer was soaked in water, but it can be used after washing.
There were Chinese medicinal herbs as well, but many of them had been spoiled by water. She didn’t recognize the remaining ones, and there was no use in keeping them, so she would sell them to pharmacies when she had the chance in the future.
The harvest in the supermarket was also considerable. It was estimated that the food and daily necessities collected from the supermarket were enough for her to use for decades.
Xia Xiaoman happily took out the huge Wuji chicken leg that she had wanted to eat but couldn't afford to buy from the space. While gnawing on the chicken leg, she checked the messages on her mobile phone.
Mayonnaise-504 [Didn't they say someone would come to deliver supplies at noon today? It's already 12 o'clock, why hasn't anyone come yet? ]
Lin-403 [Same question, I am almost starving to death, is there any kind-hearted person who can help me? I can give money. ]
After seeing this sentence, Xia Xiaoman struggled internally for two seconds.
Forget it, life is more important than money, and now is not the time to make money.
While chewing on a delicious chicken leg, she continued to read the messages in the property management group.
Xuyu-303 [Uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters, please take me in. The water downstairs is about to flood the second floor. It is estimated that it will flood my house in the afternoon. If anyone has a vacant room, please lend it to me for two days. ]
Hua Shao-801 [Sister, there is still room at my brother’s house, add me on WeChat for a private chat. ]
Lin-403 [(＿) Please, please, give me something to eat! I am willing to pay ten times the price. ]
Brother Bin-603 [There is a supermarket opposite the community, why don’t we go to the supermarket to find some food! ]
Mayonnaise-504 [Forget it! The flood outside is so big, and there are so many floating objects in the water. What if I drown or get hit by floating objects? ]
Ang-703 [It's raining heavily and thundering outside. It's too dangerous to go out. Let's just wait at home. The rescue team won't abandon us. ]
Perhaps out of trust in the rescue team, no one in the group suggested going out to look for supplies.
Xia Xiaoman switched pages to check the news posted online.
During the time she was out salvaging supplies, two more flooded cities appeared in their province, and the situation in other provinces was not much better.
Remembering what the village party secretary said yesterday, Xia Xiaoman checked the situation in his hometown.
Half of my hometown village was buried by the mudslide, and the remaining half of the people were transferred by the rescue team to a school in the town for temporary resettlement.
In the video posted online, PLA soldiers were digging in the rain, trying to dig out the victims buried in the mud.
Xia Xiaoman sighed heavily, switched the page on his phone, and returned to the chat software.
The number of messages in the class group has reached 99, and students are sharing the flood situations they have encountered.
Most of the students in the class live in the dormitory, and some students took videos of the school being flooded.
In the video, the flood has submerged the third floor of the dormitory building. All students living on floors 1 to 3 were arranged to live in empty dormitories on higher floors. Those who could not live there were arranged to live in the teaching building.
In the video, the students are very optimistic.
This was the first time they encountered such a flood, and in their eyes, it was an exciting and novel adventure game.
Some brave students even performed a diving show on the balcony, not caring about the dirty flood water, swimming around in the flood water, wantonly swaying their youth. After being reprimanded by the teacher, they climbed up to apologize to the teacher.
There are also kind and simple students who share their snack library, eat snacks and play cards with their roommates, and enjoy a moment of peace.
Of course, there were also selfless students who volunteered to participate in the rescue operation, helping teachers and students to evacuate people and protect important books and materials.
The phone indicated that the battery was low, so Xia Xiaoman turned off the phone and took out a power bank to charge it.
After eating two more pieces of bread to fill his stomach, Xia Xiaoman took out three freezers he had bought from the supermarket from his space and blocked the door. Only then did he feel at ease to go back to his bedroom to take a nap.
It has been a long time since I last slept until I woke up naturally. When Xia Xiaoman woke up, it was already past three in the afternoon.
She turned on her phone and found that someone had added her as a friend.
[Hello, I am Sun Qing, a student majoring in civil engineering at Fucheng University. Can I be accepted as a friend? ]
Xia Xiaoman clicked on Sun Qing’s profile picture, which showed a handsome girl with short hair.
She had seen Sun Qing, who seemed to live in the same neighborhood as her, but in a different building.
One time, when she was returning to the community after her night shift, she was followed by someone. Sun Qing passed by and deliberately greeted her, scaring the person who was following her away.
Xia Xiaoman thought about it and agreed to add the other party as a friend.
Sunny Day [Hello, I am Sun Qing. ]
Small and full【What's up?】
Sunny day [Sorry, my house is on the 3rd floor and it was flooded. I want to ask if there are any vacancies in your building. ]
Small but full [704 is temporarily unoccupied. 】
Sunny day [Thank you, do you have the landlord's contact information? ]
The four suites on this floor all have the same landlord.
When the community was just launched, the landlord found that the rooms here were relatively small, so he bought four rooms and planned to invest in renting them out, so he bought four houses at one time.
Xia Xiaoman sent the landlord's phone number to Sun Qing and switched the page to see if there was any news in the property group.
After noon, there was no movement in the property group. I guess the mobile phones were out of battery.
The power was out for a day and a night. According to the frequency with which young people play with their mobile phones nowadays, unless there is a power bank at home, the mobile phones should have been turned off.
At about four o'clock in the afternoon, a horn sounded in the building.
Xia Xiaoman opened the door and happened to meet a man with glasses going out.
The man with glasses glared at Xia Xiaoman, and when he saw Xia Xiaoman raising his fist, he immediately ran downstairs.
If you can't afford to offend him, can't you just avoid him? A good man doesn't fight with a woman.
Xia Xiaoman also went downstairs, and the loudspeaker said that people in the building should go down to the third floor to collect relief supplies.
The stairs on the third floor were full of people, all of whom came to collect supplies.
Before getting close, Xia Xiaoman saw Sun Qing carrying a lot of bags in her hands.
Sun Qing also noticed her and grinned at her, "Hello, I'm Sun Qing."
She pointed at the girl with a bun standing next to her and said, "This is my friend, Ye Xiaojie."
Ye Xiaojie smiled shyly at Xia Xiaoman.
Xia Xiaoman nodded. "My name is Xia Xiaoman. How did you get here?"
Sun Qing smiled and said, "We were lucky. We met a rescue team delivering supplies when we went out. We asked them to send us here."
"Let's stop talking for now. We need to move the luggage upstairs. You go get the supplies!"
Sun Qing took Ye Xiaojie upstairs and met a man with glasses who had received supplies.
The man with glasses used the excuse that he wanted to help Ye Xiaojie move things and wanted to touch Ye Xiaojie's hand, but she dodged it without leaving a trace.
When Xia Xiaoman got the supplies and went upstairs, he found the man with glasses leaning against the wall next to the stairs on the sixth floor, screaming and crying, with blood all over his nose and mouth.
