Chapter 49 The Storm Comes Again
Many houses were damaged in the flood.
Not long after Xia Xiaoman drove the speedboat, he found an uninhabited hotel.
One of the hotel's pillars was broken, making it feel like the hotel was shaky and would collapse at any time.
The hotel had limited supplies, and the food and drinks were probably on the lower floors, which had been flooded.
The upper floors are all guest rooms. Apart from quilts, pillows and disposable toiletries, Xia Xiaoman couldn't think of what other supplies there were in the hotel, so he offered to stay where he was and watch the speedboat while others search for supplies.
There was only a thin woman on a speedboat carrying supplies, and she was too conspicuous.
More than ten minutes after Sun Qing and the others left, several kayaks slowly approached Xia Xiaoman.
"Beauty, are you alone? Do you want to join us?" the leader shouted at Xia Xiaoman.
Xia Xiaoman looked at these people coldly and pulled out a pistol from his waist, "Get away from me!"
The leader didn't take the gun in her hand seriously at all, "Hey, beauty, what's so fun about a fake gun? Brothers will let you play with a real gun, okay? You can play as long as you want and as many as you want." As he said that, he also made an obscene gesture of thrusting his hips.
Watching the kayaks getting closer and closer, Xia Xiaoman quickly loaded the gun, aimed at the leader's crotch, and gently pulled the trigger.
With a loud bang like thunder, the leader covered his crotch and howled in pain. At the same time, the kayak started to leak air, and everyone in the kayak with the leader panicked.
The people in the other kayaks were stunned for two seconds. When they saw Xia Xiaoman pointing a gun at them, they were so scared that they immediately turned around and left, not caring whether the leader was dead or alive.
They are just a mob gathered together for temporary interests. When they encounter danger, the first people they abandon are their companions.
After seeing Xia Xiaoman firing the gun, the other onlookers also left. This little girl was not someone they could snatch away.
Without so many prying eyes, Xia Xiaoman took out a candy from her bag, tore open the package and put it in her mouth, then ate the candy leisurely while waiting for Sun Qing and the others to bring down the supplies.
The things in the hotel were just as she had imagined, there really weren't many supplies.
Sun Qing and her friends moved some relatively clean quilts, thinking of taking them back to replace them. The rest were disposable toiletries and a few good quality hair dryers.
After loading the supplies, Xia Xiaoman drove the speedboat back to the community.
Sun Qing sighed, "It's getting harder and harder to find supplies in the city now. It's better to go to the mountains. At least you can find some wild vegetables in the mountains."
Zhou Qiuyang said, "How about we go to the mountain tomorrow?"
Xiao Zheyu suggested: "If we want to go to the mountain, let's go to another mountain! We have picked all the wild vegetables on the previous mountain."
Sun Qing was about to nod in agreement when suddenly a loud thunder sounded and she subconsciously looked up at the sky.
In the distance, a black line was spreading rapidly. Sun Qing's face changed drastically. He pointed at the sky and said, "Look over there!"
Everyone looked in the direction of her finger. At the end of the sky, a black line seemed to split the sky in half. In less than a few minutes, the black line became thicker and the sky suddenly flashed with lightning and thunder.
"Fuck! The storm is coming again, sister, let's drive the boat back to the community quickly, quickly!" Xiao Zheyu shouted excitedly, and was just about to turn the accelerator.
Xia Xiaoman came to his senses and immediately turned the throttle to low. With a bang, the speedboat flew out and moved rapidly on the water.
Dark clouds rolled in, chasing after Xia Xiaoman and the others. Every ten seconds or so, a thunder would sound, as if urging Xia Xiaoman to hurry up. If she didn't hurry up, it would strike her.
The wind also increased rapidly in a short period of time, and the rain was hit on the face by the wind, which was cold and stinging.
After rushing, we finally got back to the community before the storm hit.
Seeing Xia Xiaoman was going to hide the speedboat, Sun Qing hurriedly stopped him and said, "Don't worry about the speedboat. When the storm comes, no matter how well you hide the speedboat, it will be washed away. Hurry up and get on!"
"It's okay. No one can find me where I'm hiding, and the flood can't wash me away."
They had finally gotten the speedboat and fuel, which might be their regular means of transportation in the future, and she didn't want to just abandon them.
Xia Xiaoman ignored the advice and drove the speedboat out of the community. Ten minutes later, he came back in a kayak.
Sun Qing was worried that something might have happened to her, so she didn't go upstairs. When she saw her come back, she reached out and pulled her upstairs, and put away the kayak at the same time.
As soon as the two climbed to the 15th floor, dark clouds covered the sky above their heads. It was clearly past noon, but it was as dark as the early morning, and there was no light at all.
Xia Xiaoman went back to the house to change her wet clothes and walked out of the living room. A white light flashed, followed by a loud bang, and the sound of rain outside gradually became louder.
Having experienced two storms, Xia Xiaoman is very calm.
After drying my hair, I checked the smoked duck, put it into the space, and prepared to make lunch.
It’s very humid on rainy days, so you should eat more spicy food to remove the moisture.
I cooked a pack of hot and sour noodles, but there wasn't enough noodles, so I added a bunch of sweet potato noodles. I also threw in a few wild vegetables I picked and blanched them, and lunch was ready.
After eating and drinking, I went to rest. When I woke up, it was still raining and windy. The rain was very heavy. In the time it took to sleep, the water had already flooded to the sixth floor.
Xia Xiaoman remained calm. He stretched his hands and feet and started his daily physical training.
As long as the water doesn't reach the 15th floor, it doesn't matter how deep it goes.
Just when Xia Xiaoman thought the storm would last another three or five days, the rain stopped.
That's right, the rain stopped, not that the wind and rain became lighter.
Early in the morning, Xiao Zheyu howled like a ghost, waking up Xia Xiaoman.
When she opened the door in a daze and wanted to beat Xiao Zheyu up, she saw him beating his chest and stamping his feet like a madman.
"Ahhh!! The rain has finally stopped!! The sun has finally come out!"
"The sun is out. How wonderful! Mr. Sun, I love you!!"
Xia Xiaoman blinked, "The sun is out?"
She ran out of the balcony in disbelief. The city was a vast ocean, and the dazzling sunlight shone on the water, making it sparkle.
"The rain...has really stopped..."
Xia Xiaoman opened her eyes wide. She didn't expect that she would be able to see the sun come out in her lifetime. She thought that there would only be rainy days in her life.
Wen Jianfeng was also woken up and came out with the twins. Wen Xu imitated Xiao Zheyu and shouted loudly outside the balcony, declaring his love to the sun.
Sun Qing and Ye Xiaojie were so excited that they almost cried. This hellish life was finally coming to an end...
Everyone was cheering and shouting, immersed in joy.
Even though the flood is still raging, the rain has stopped and the sun has come out, which means hope has also come...
