Chapter 43 Blacklisted Text Messages
The speedboat sped across the water, Xia Xiaoman gripped the steering wheel tightly, drove to a secluded place, put the speedboat away, then took out the kayak and slowly paddled towards the community.
Back on the 15th floor, Ye Xiaojie just came out of 1502. When she saw Xia Xiaoman coming back, she told him about Wen Xu's situation.
"Xiao Xu is fine. He just has too much moisture in his body. He has eczema and diarrhea. He will be fine in two days."
Xia Xiaoman nodded. "That brat is so energetic and jumps around every day, but I didn't expect his body to be weaker than Lingling's."
Ye Xiaojie smiled and said, "Lingling completes the tasks given to her by her coach honestly every day. She sweats more than Xiaoxu, so the moisture in her body is not as heavy as Xiaoxu's."
Exercising and sweating is one way to eliminate moisture from the body.
Xia Xiaoman asked maliciously: "Have you told the coach about this?"
Ye Xiaojie knew what she wanted to hear. "I told you, the coach's face is as black as the bottom of a pot. When Xiaoxu recovers from his illness, he will suffer a lot."
Xia Xiaoman laughed, "That's how it should be. Xiaoxu is too bad. If we don't teach him a lesson, he will go to heaven."
After a day of hard work, everyone was exhausted. They packed up their supplies and went back to their rooms to rest.
The next day, all staff stayed in the building to tinker with the generator.
This is a diesel generator. Judging from the damage, it should have been used for one or two years. The wires have been removed and tied neatly next to the generator.
After more than two hours of research, the generator was finally installed and started successfully.
Wen Jianfeng immediately connected the electric welding machine to the power and reinstalled the fire door.
Because of the lack of a fire door, I always felt that the 15th floor was not that safe. Now that the door has been installed, I feel much more at ease.
Xia Xiaoman, Sun Qing and others charged the batteries they bought from Zhou Qiuyang, and also charged their mobile phones at the same time.
The phone that had been silent for a long time was finally turned on again. Although there was no signal, looking at the familiar phone page was still exciting.
Xia Xiaoman opened her cell phone and saw the latest message from the bakery manager asking about her safety and informing her that she didn't have to go to work.
The flood happened only a month ago, but she felt as if it were a lifetime ago.
I was bored and flipping through the blocked text messages, and suddenly saw a text message from a number in my hometown.
When he clicked it and saw the content inside, Xia Xiaoman felt mixed emotions.
The text message was from my father. On the day of the flood, my brother's school was flooded. The teachers tried their best to transfer the students and protect their safety, but some students were still washed away by the flood.
Unfortunately, my younger brother was washed away by the flood.
My parents went to pick up my brother from school, but they didn't even bring back his body.
In the text message, her father said that she was their only child, and asked her to let go of the past grudges, go back to see them, and hold a funeral for her brother.
The day the text message came, she was trapped in her rental house by the flood. Because she had blocked her parents' number, she didn't see the text message.
Xia Xiaoman doesn't have much affection for his younger brother Xia Haoming.
When she was young, she didn't know much and hated him. Because her parents favored her younger brother, she often made trouble for him.
When she grew up, she realized that it was not her brother's fault. In the final analysis, it was because of her parents' partiality. Xia Haoming had never done anything wrong to her. Instead, she often used Xia Haoming to threaten her parents.
She never thought that Xia Haoming's life would be so short. He passed away quietly when he was in his prime youth.
Xia Xiaoman felt sorry for Xia Haoming's death, but as for her parents' request for her to go back... she deleted the text message.
Only after his son passed away did he remember that he had a daughter like her.
She was alone outside and encountered a flood, but they didn't even say a word of concern and told her to go back. How could she go back? Should she fly back?
Not to mention that she was trapped in the rental house and couldn't go back, even if she could go back, she would never go back.
She dared to guarantee that as long as she went back, she would definitely be sold to the old man as a concubine by that black-hearted couple.
Throwing his cell phone aside, Xia Xiaoman stretched his body and started exercising regularly every day.
She had to improve her skills to avoid being captured and made a concubine in the future, where she wouldn't even have the ability to resist.
…
The next day, Xia Xiaoman drove the speedboat back downstairs early in the morning, picked up Wen Jianfeng and others, and drove the speedboat to the city.
With a generator, some electrical tools can be taken away, such as rice cookers, microwave ovens, electric lights, hair dryers, fans, etc.
These items are relatively common and are found in ordinary people's homes, as well as in some companies that focus on employee rest areas.
After walking around a few times, Xia Xiaoman found that the high-rise buildings he passed by were already occupied, so he could only walk further away.
The speedboat was not very fast, and even if there were more than a dozen barrels of gasoline, Xia Xiaoman was reluctant to step on the accelerator and waste gasoline.
"Hey, Xiaoman, there seems to be no one over there." Sun Qing pointed to a slightly tilted building with a V-shaped sign on it in the distance.
Xia Xiaoman turned the steering wheel sharply and turned around.
As they approached the building, people paddling rafts and kayaks nearby gradually moved closer, blocking the assault boat.
"Don't come over! This is our territory!" The people on the raft waved their oars with a very tough attitude.
Sun Qing shouted loudly, "Is your name written on that building? How did it become your territory?!"
The people on the raft were stunned for a moment, then looked back at the building, "Are you going to the office building, not here to fish?"
Sun Qing was speechless, "Do you think we look like we're going to catch fish?"
The eight-seater speedboat held six people, and it certainly didn't look like a fishing boat, as there was no place to put the fish.
The people on the raft knew they had misunderstood, so they waved to their companions and made way for them. “Excuse me! I thought you were here to fish. You can go anywhere in the office building, but you can’t fish here.”
Sun Qing responded to him and muttered quietly, "Why are these people so nervous about fish? What good are those fish infested with parasites?"
Xia Xiaoman smiled and said, "Not all fish are parasitized. Maybe some fish are not parasitized."
"Then after we return to the community, should we catch a few fish and see?" Xiao Zheyu asked.
Sun Qing resisted, "If you want to fish, fish it yourself. Don't take me with you."
Wen Jianfeng said, "You may not have a chance to catch fish. When we came out this morning, many people in the community were fishing. By the time we get back, all the fish in the water will probably have been caught."
Materials are scarce, and if you want to live longer, it is essential to increase income and reduce expenditure.
After two floods, it became increasingly difficult to find underwater supplies. Seeing others catch 20 to 30 kilograms of big fish from the water made me jealous.
The first time you catch fish, you have no experience and it is normal to be in a rush and not catch a single fish for the whole morning. With more practice, you will be able to find the right method to catch fish.
Seeing Sun Qing catch dozens of big fish in the morning, the residents in the building were unwilling to be left behind and caught fish for several consecutive days.
The smell of grilled fish can often be smelled in the neighborhood these days.
But after seeing the parasites in the fish's bodies with their own eyes, Sun Qing and her friends were reluctant to try eating fish from the water.
Since you have plenty of supplies, don't take the risk of eating fish with parasites.
