Chapter 58 Bombshell News
With the experience of transporting water once, Xia Xiaoman and his team took a detour and arrived at the place where they had loaded water last time.
I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but I always feel that the stream seems smaller.
After filling the water, Xiao Zheyu suggested digging some wild vegetables to supplement vitamins and dietary fiber.
Xia Xiaoman was not very interested and chose to stay where he was and look after the bicycles and the water while the others went to dig wild vegetables.
After Xiao Zheyu and the others walked away, she took out some empty bottles and buckets from the space to fill with water.
The hot weather made her feel uneasy, and she always felt that something big was going to happen.
She had everything in her space now, but storing things in it would make her feel more at ease. So even though there was a lot of rainwater in her space, she couldn't help but want to store stream water in her space.
About an hour later, Xiao Zheyu and his friends came back with a bunch of miscellaneous wild vegetables. They fixed the water on the bicycles and pushed the bicycles slowly towards the community.
With bicycles carrying water, Xia Xiaoman and his friends freed their arms and did not have to work as hard as last time. After returning to the community, they still had the energy to walk around.
Sun Qing and Ye Xiaojie discussed it and went out with two large bags of supplies to exchange for bicycles at the trading point.
Zhou Qiuyang and his friends also wanted to exchange, but they had few supplies and were reluctant to do so.
Wen Jianfeng felt that it was unnecessary and firmly believed that the bicycle would not be used for long.
On the other side, Xia Xiaoman went back to the room, lay on the bed and rested for half an hour before starting his daily training.
She has her own intuition and persistence in certain aspects.
When she was young, she knew that only by studying could she escape from the mountain village, so no matter what others said or how many difficulties there were, she would grit her teeth and persist in studying.
Facts proved that she was right. She was admitted to university through her studies, left the small mountain village that had bound her for 18 years, and saw the vast and rich world outside.
And now, she found that the rules of the world had changed.
It is better to crush someone with violence than to reason with words. Force is the only way to survive nowadays.
I started exercising during Hong Lao, and after more than two months, I can vaguely see my abs on my lower abdomen. My arms and calves don’t look strong, but as soon as I exert force, the muscle lines instantly tighten.
But it was not enough. No matter how high her own strength was, she could not resist a bullet. She had to find a way to get some weapons, especially long-range weapons. It would be best if she could get a pistol. If she didn't have a pistol, she would have to have bullets.
She currently only has 4 bullets in her hand, and each one she uses is one less.
Just as I was thinking about how to get a pistol, there was a knock on the living room door.
"Xiao Man, are you free? Come to room 1502 for a meeting."
Hearing Sun Qing's voice, Xia Xiaoman responded and picked up the towel to wipe the sweat off his face and neck.
In the living room of Room 1502, Sun Qing and the others each found a place to sit.
In hot weather, you will sweat even if you sit still, and everyone will smell of sweat. Even if your teammates don't mind, you should be tactful and stay away from them to avoid suffocating them.
"Sister Qing, what meeting is this? Did the government issue another notice?" Xiao Zheyu asked.
Sun Qing pursed her dry lips and said, "I guess so!"
"When Xiaojie and I went to exchange bicycles, we asked about the situation in other provinces and cities. Some cities are still in the midst of disasters, while others are undergoing post-disaster reconstruction like our city."
"The staff told us that if people's families live outside the city and conditions in their hometown allow them to return, they can arrange a special car to take them home."
"Send everyone home? Really? How?" Xiao Zheyu looked at Sun Qing excitedly.
Sun Qing nodded. "Well, the premise is that your hometown has not been affected by the disaster, or is being rebuilt after the disaster, then the staff will arrange to send you back. The only way to go back now is by car."
Xiao Zheyu frowned, "Then how do I know if there is any disaster in my hometown?"
"The relief and trading points update the disaster situation in other cities every day, but the equipment is limited at present, so we can only contact the surrounding cities. Places farther away cannot receive the news for the time being."
Sun Qing took out a piece of paper and said, "I have copied down the latest disaster information of the city from the trading point. Please see if your hometown is included."
Xiao Zheyu and Su Ran took the paper and looked at it together.
Seeing Zhou Qiuyang and Xia Xiaoman standing still, Sun Qing asked, "Are you two locals? Why don't you go check on your own family?"
Zhou Qiuyang pulled the corner of his mouth and said with a smile: "I am the only one in my family, and the whole world is my home."
Xia Xiaoman also said: "According to the household registration book, I am the head of the household, and the number of family members is 0."
After the college entrance examination, she forced her parents to give her a separate household. In a sense, she is the only one in her family.
Sun Qing was stunned for a moment, "You two are orphans!"
Xia Xiaoman's mouth twitched, "Thank you, I'm an adult now, I can't be considered an orphan, at most I'm a lonely person."
Sun Qing: “…”
Isn't that what it means?
Su Ran's hometown is in the next province, and it is currently undergoing post-disaster reconstruction. But his parents are both abroad, so he would be alone if he went back home. He would not stay here, at least he could be with his companions.
Xiao Zheyu's hometown is in the north, and the name of his hometown is not on the paper, which means that the situation of his hometown is currently unknown.
Feeling frustrated, he looked at Sun Qing and asked, "Sister Qing, can't we take the bus back to the place where there is no name on the paper?"
Sun Qing glanced at him and said, "Nonsense, if there's no name, it means we don't know the current situation of that place. If there's a flood there, driving over there will just be sending you to your deaths."
Xiao Zheyu sighed, "Sister, where is your home? Is there a place for your home on the paper?"
Sun Qing shook her head. "My home is in the north, there's nothing like this."
She paused, and then continued, "But it has the name of Xiaojie's hometown. Her home is in Yuancheng, and it is currently undergoing post-disaster reconstruction. Xiaojie and I plan to return to Yuancheng."
When the bombshell news was suddenly released, Xiao Zheyu and the others were all stunned for a long while.
Xia Xiaoman didn't react much. All good things must come to an end. She had no parents and no one to worry about. Sun Qing and Ye Xiaojie grew up in warm families and would leave sooner or later to find their way home.
Xiao Zheyu came back to his senses and asked, "Why so sudden? When are you planning to leave?"
Ye Xiaojie said, "Not so fast. The government's car hasn't been repaired yet. And we need to find other people to get enough people for a car before we can send it out."
Xiao Zheyu asked: "Are you going back for free?"
Find out the procedure for returning home in advance, and wait for the news from his hometown to be sent out, so you don’t have to worry at home.
Ye Xiaojie shook her head, "If you want to go home, you need to use the supplies to buy a ticket."
"At present, they have not yet worked out in detail how much materials will be needed to purchase the tickets. They need to wait until the train is repaired and calculate the number of people it can carry before deciding the price of the tickets."
"We have left our names, ID cards and addresses at the trading point. Once the trading point has arranged a car, they will notify us to hand in the supplies and buy tickets."
