Chapter 92 The neighborhood is on fire again
When the off-road vehicle was almost at Shuiyue Bay, Xia Xiaoman found a deserted place to change the off-road vehicle into a bicycle. He tied the prepared food on the back seat and rode the bicycle to Shuiyue Bay.
The last time I came to Shuiyue Bay, I drove a pickup truck. If I drive an off-road vehicle this time, it would be too conspicuous.
Wang Shijin was still the one leading the patrol and guard duty at Shuiyue Bay today. The first thing he said when he saw Xia Xiaoman was, "Where's your pickup truck? Was it stolen?"
Xia Xiaoman rolled her eyes. "The car has a flat tire. Send it to be repaired. It will probably be fixed tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. I'll move in after the car is fixed."
Wang Shijin said, "So the car broke down. No wonder you didn't come yesterday. I thought you didn't plan to move out. Come on, I'll take you to pay the rent."
The process was the same as the interview two days ago. I needed to go to the security room and put down the dangerous items before I could enter.
Xia Xiaoman asked: "Do I need to be searched every time I enter or leave the community?"
Wang Shijin explained: "You are not a resident of Shuiyue Bay yet, so you need to be searched when you enter or leave. Once you officially become a resident of Shuiyue Bay, it will no longer be necessary."
Xia Xiaoman nodded. That’s good. Otherwise, it would be too troublesome to search people every time they enter or leave.
The rent payment procedures went smoothly. During this period, she saw two groups of people fail the interviews.
One group is a group of young people. According to Aunt Xing, during the interrogation, these young people are very loyal and will try their best to help their friends in response to their many requests for help.
Xia Xiaoman asked Aunt Xing, "Were they eliminated because they were too helpful?"
Aunt Xing shook her head. "They are just too fake, too eager to show off their kind and generous character."
"I asked them what they would do when their friend had no food and was seriously injured. They said they would take their friend home to recover..."
The corners of Xia Xiaoman's mouth twitched. How wealthy must those young people be to dare to say such things?
"What about the other group of people? Why did they fail the interview?"
Aunt Xing sighed, "That group of people was a family of four. They were nice people, but they were just too nice."
While walking around the community, a child cried and asked them to help find his mother. The group of people stepped forward to help without hesitation, but were stabbed by the child with a wooden knife. All of them failed the interview.
Xia Xiaoman supports Shuiyuewan's interview method, but she has a question, "Auntie Xing, you are trying to prevent some bad people from moving into the community, but have you ever thought that there are such people among the original residents of the community?"
Aunt Xing smiled and said, "There are indeed such people in the community. We will arrange for these people to take anti-fraud classes."
"If these people don't cooperate, the neighbors will keep an eye on them, including following them every time they go out, to prevent them from doing anything that harms the community."
"This is too troublesome. Can't we just drive these people out of the community?" Xia Xiaoman asked.
Aunt Xing shook her head. "They paid real money to buy this house. We have no right to evict them. If we use force to force them to leave, they will unite and make trouble."
They are all old neighbors, and they know who is a goody-goody and who is a selfish person in the community. If they could drive them away, they would have driven them away long ago, and they would not have stayed until now.
"The formalities have been completed. Here are the keys. Please keep them. If you have any problems with the house, you can always come to the property management department to find me."
Xia Xiaoman put away the key and asked, "Auntie Xing, the windows on the first floor of the villa are a bit big. Can I take them down and reinstall them?"
Aunt Xing nodded. "Sure, as long as the load-bearing walls don't move, you can do whatever you want with the rest."
Xia Xiaoman made an OK gesture, took the key and left Shuiyue Bay.
…
I didn't go home for a day and two nights, and I didn't know whether the chickens and rabbits at home were dead or not.
Back on the 15th floor, Xia Xiaoman was a little surprised. Su Ran, Wen Jianfeng and the others were all awake. When they heard the sound of the door opening, they all ran out.
"Sister Xiaoman, where have you been these two days? You didn't come back all night yesterday, and you haven't been seen all day today. I thought something happened to you." Su Ran's face was full of worry.
Li Yu'e also echoed: "We were really anxious this day. It's so chaotic outside now. We all thought you met some bad guys. Xiaoyang even said he wanted to go out and look for you."
Xia Xiaoman felt a little grateful in her heart, "I'm fine. I met an old acquaintance last night and stayed at his house for one night. I also dealt with some personal matters, so I came back so late."
Zhou Qiuyang let out a long sigh, "I'm glad you're back safely. If you have any problems, you can tell us. Don't carry it all by yourself."
Xia Xiaoman smiled and said, "Everything has been resolved, don't worry!"
Seeing that she was a little tired, Wen Jianfeng said, "I'm glad you're okay. You must be tired after being out for so long. Go home and have a good rest. We'll talk tomorrow if you have anything to say."
Xia Xiaoman nodded, "Okay, I'll go back first."
She was indeed a little tired. Her nerves had been on edge since she met Hu Yao yesterday. It was not until she returned to the 15th floor that her nerves relaxed.
When she got home, she went to take a look in the livestock room and found that four more chicks had died of the heat. Now she only had eight chickens and four rabbits left.
After feeding the chicks and rabbits, Xia Xiaoman took a bath and fell asleep.
I was sleeping soundly when suddenly there was a noise outside the window. Xia Xiaoman opened his eyes, took out a pair of sunglasses from the space and slowly opened the curtains.
Outside the window, the five buildings opposite suddenly burst into flames, and the raging fire instantly engulfed the entire building.
Screams, cries and calls for help came from the building; the intertwined sounds were creepy.
The temperature outside was over 60 degrees, and the scorching air made it difficult to breathe.
Those who escaped from the building were sunburned by the scorching sun not long after they ran.
Some people rushed into other buildings as quickly as possible to avoid the sun; some people fainted from the sun, and their exposed skin instantly turned red when it touched the ground; some people with good physical fitness picked up tools and smashed the covers of the wells, trying to break the covers open and fetch water to put out the fire.
Xia Xiaoman looked solemn. He stared at the burning building in front of him for a while, then turned around and knocked on the door of room 1503 next door.
Li Yu'e was probably also awakened by the screams outside, and her face looked unhappy. "Xiaoman, what's wrong?"
Xia Xiaoman: "Building 5 is on fire."
Li Yu'e nodded heavily, "I saw it, it's a big fire, it might burn over here."
Building 5 is very close to Building 3, so there is a high possibility that the fire will spread over. She has just been observing the fire and the situation in Building 3. Two families downstairs did not install windows and directly hung curtains.
The weather is so hot that if a spark hits it, it is very likely to catch fire.
Xia Xiaoman also thought of this situation and said, "Notify the coaches and pack up the escape bag. If there is a fire, don't take anything, just carry the escape bag and run."
