Chapter 8 Grab Supplies
These hypocritical people said that Xia Xiaoman was arrogant and unreasonable, while their eyes were fixed on the three kayaks.
What they are thinking can be heard through the skin.
Xia Xiaoman guessed that the residents in the building would be jealous of their supplies, so she asked Sun Qing and Ye Xiaojie not to go near the stairs.
She was about to take out the axe from her waist to convince others with her virtue, when Zhou Qiuyang stuck his head out from upstairs and shouted, "Xia Xiaoman, are you back alone?"
His voice attracted a lot of people's attention. The aunt looked at Xia Xiaoman, then at Zhou Qiuyang, "Xiaoyang, do you know this girl?"
Zhou Qiuyang ran down quickly, without even looking at the old lady, and walked in front of Xia Xiaoman, "Where are the others?"
"Outside, go and help pull Ye Xiaojie over!" Xia Xiaoman made way.
Zhou Qiuyang nodded, jumped into the water, swam to the kayak where Ye Xiaojie was, and swam behind her while pushing the kayak.
As I approached the stairs, several hands reached out for the kayak.
Xia Xiaoman took out the axe and hit it with the back of it, hitting the back of the old lady's hand exactly.
The old lady drew back her hand with a cry, "Ah, my hand, my hand is going to break!"
Xia Xiaoman looked at her coldly, "If you dare to touch my things again, I don't mind really cutting off your hands."
"Xia Xiaoman, you've gone too far. How can you hit someone so easily?"
Qin Yali hurried down from upstairs and protected the old lady. "Xia Xiaoman, you brought back so many things, can't you share some with us? At most we can buy them with our own money, is there any need to hit anyone?"
When the other onlookers in the building saw someone speaking up, they started a new round of moral condemnation of Xia Xiaoman.
Qin Yali's boyfriend came over with a few people. "Fuck, why are you talking so much nonsense? We have more people, just go up and grab it, whoever grabs it first gets it."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Xiaojie ran up to him with a trekking pole and hit him on the kneecap. With a twist of her wrist, the trekking pole hit the other two people's calves, and they immediately fell down, holding their legs.
“Pah, pah, pah!”
Sun Qing, who had just reached the stairs while paddling a kayak, clapped her hands vigorously, "Xiao Jie is awesome! So handsome!"
Hearing Sun Qing's praise, Ye Xiaojie's cold face instantly melted and she smiled shyly.
Sun Qing jumped off the kayak and walked to Ye Xiaojie. She put one hand on her shoulders, took the trekking pole from her hand and pointed it at the onlookers. She said domineeringly, "My Xiaojie has been practicing martial arts since she was a child. Those who want to steal our things should think about whether they have the ability to fight with my Xiaojie."
The scene was completely silent, with only the few people who were knocked down by Ye Xiaojie groaning quietly.
"If you don't have the guts, then why are you still standing here? Haven't you heard that a good dog doesn't block the road?"
The onlookers were unwilling, but they did not have the courage, so they silently stepped back a few steps to make way.
…
Zhou Qiuyang brought up the last bag of supplies, closed the door and said, "You were too impulsive today and offended everyone in the building. Be careful when you go out next time."
After thinking for a moment, he added, "Be careful at home, too."
Sun Qing shrugged nonchalantly, "It's okay, we won't be living here for long anyway."
Zhou Qiuyang was stunned for a moment, "You guys want to move away?"
Xia Xiaoman's expression was solemn. "It's not that we want to move away, but we have to leave."
"The city is flooded too badly. The rain has been lighter these past two days, so the water has not risen as fast as in the first two days. But the rain keeps falling, and sooner or later it will flood our seventh floor."
Today she went out with Sun Qing and Ye Xiaojie, and knew clearly the current situation in Fucheng.
If we are lucky, the water will not reach the seventh floor until ten days or half a month later.
If you are unlucky, the upstream city will open the floodgates to release the floodwaters, or the floodgates will be damaged during the floods to release the floodwaters. Overnight, the accumulated water may rise to the seventh floor.
In short, they have to move out of the building no matter what, unless the sky clears up.
"Okay, stop talking about those unhappy things, and let's distribute the supplies quickly!" Sun Qing sorted and put the supplies away with a little excitement.
4 130L camouflage mountaineering bags, 4 80L medium-sized mountaineering bags, 8 sets of diving equipment, oxygen cylinders, folding barbecue stove, double tent, cassette stove, inflatable mattress, portable sleeping bag, alcohol stove, emergency insulation blanket, multi-function knife, multi-function safety hammer...
Time was running out, so Xia Xiaoman tried to bring as many items as possible that Sun Qing and the others would need, with each item being enough for at least four people.
Xia Xiaoman took as many commonly used consumables as possible, such as oxygen cylinders, alcohol stoves, cassette stoves, etc.
Sun Qing divided these things into four portions and each person took one portion.
Zhou Qiuyang was a little embarrassed. "I'll just take a set of diving equipment! You can share the rest. I didn't do anything, and it's not fair to share so many things with you."
"Just take it if I give it to you. If you really feel bad about it, then take good care of it the next time we go out to salvage it."
Sun Qing smiled and said, "We have offended those guys in the building today. Next time we go out, they will definitely come up and knock on the door. You must protect our home well!"
Zhou Qiuyang suddenly felt overwhelmed, "Why don't we move out now!"
"I know there's a property that's just been launched and hasn't sold many units yet, but the building has been completed and the doors and windows have been installed. We can move in there."
Sun Qing thought about it, shook her head and said, "Wait and see how the higher-ups will arrange it."
The rain keeps falling, and the authorities will not just watch people drown to death. There will definitely be corresponding policies.
Xia Xiaoman agreed, "Don't worry. The community is close to shops and supermarkets. We live here so it's convenient for us to go get supplies."
After distributing the supplies, Xia Xiaoman took her share home.
After rowing for a day, my arms are sore and swollen.
I used a gas stove to boil a pot of hot water and wiped my body clean. I took out the plaster that I had fished out of the water from the space, tore open the package and applied it on my arm to relieve muscle soreness.
I had something hot in the evening, a pot of dumplings and two barbecued pork buns.
Half asleep and half awake, I suddenly heard a heart-wrenching scream.
Xia Xiaoman was awakened and sat up suddenly from the bed. Without even putting on her shoes, she ran out of the bedroom and stood at the door of the living room, listening to the noise outside.
