Bai Shuang was pleased to hear that the mushrooms had grown successfully, saying, "It's good that they've succeeded; all our efforts haven't been in vain."
At this moment, the new residents nearby gritted their teeth and glared at Bai Shuang and the others.
She finally understood why they hated her so much: it was wrong of her not to help them.
Your hatred is useless. Even though you live in the same building, people are not all the same length. Who would help someone who is hostile to them?
Bai Shuang and the others ignored it and continued upstairs, but a voice came from behind them.
"It's good to be supported by a man."
It was the mother of that little girl on the 14th floor who was slapped by Bai Jiu and sent tumbling down the stairs.
Aunt Wang: "She's being kept by a man? Are you out of your mind, or blind?"
Aunt Li: "You're the one who wanted to be supported by a man, but couldn't find another, so you went and slandered Miss Bai."
"Don't project your own interests onto others just because you enjoy doing petty thievery."
"He's so lazy, all he does is try to break into other people's homes and steal their things."
...
From their insults, Bai Shuang understood the reason for their standoff.
Yesterday, when the original residents went to cut firewood, they found signs that the locks of several houses had been pried open.
They didn't break in because everyone had someone on duty at each house, and if they found someone trying to pick the lock, they would use tables or other things to prop the door shut.
But since there was only one person in the family and all the able-bodied men had gone to chop firewood, they didn't dare to confront them directly.
So, once everyone came back, we went to settle accounts with them.
Despite the disturbance, the current situation has not reached the point where murder is warranted.
Bai Shuang and the others stopped paying attention and continued upstairs. When they reached the 15th floor, An Ming invited everyone to his home.
Bai Shuang: "I won't go in. I'll come back later to collect your payment."
These days, it's not easy to make a living, so he couldn't bring himself to refuse.
"Thank you, Miss!"
After Bai Shuang and the others finished tidying up the two homes on the 19th floor, they took out the supplies that were due to An Ming.
They were given 50 jin each of rice and flour, 50 jin each of sweet potatoes and potatoes, 5 bags of salt, 100 honeycomb briquettes, and vegetables such as radishes and cabbage that can be stored for a long time.
After a while, Anming came up and saw so many supplies. He knew that the young lady was helping him. Food was so precious now. How could his two days' wages be worth so much?
"Miss, giving me so much, won't it disrupt your life?"
"Don't worry, we busted an illegal operation a while ago and seized a lot of food. Take it home and eat it."
Anming: "Miss, there's something I'd like to ask for your help with."
Could you please speak to General Lu about sending my two children to the military camp to train with the soldiers?
"I can discuss this with General Lu, but be prepared; the child needs to be able to endure hardship."
"Miss Xie, they must be able to endure hardship now."
It's good that they realize this: in times of natural disaster and apocalypse, those who cannot endure hardship will find it difficult to survive.
At noon, Bai Shuang, the three of them, and the dog ate lunch and rested for a while before heading to the border market to see if the scalpers had found any papermaking equipment.
The market was quite crowded today, much more lively than last time. There were soldiers with guns maintaining order, so no one dared to act recklessly.
After parking the snowmobile a long way off, the three people and the dog headed towards the trade market.
A tall and strong snow leopard walking down the street attracted a lot of attention. It's outrageous! People are starving, yet someone raises a dog to be this strong.
But there was nothing they could do about their hatred. Seeing the soldiers with real guns and nuclear weapons around them, they had to hide whatever thoughts they had.
When the fat man saw Bai Shuang and the others, he called out from afar, "Sister, you've finally arrived! I've been waiting so long!"
Bai Shuang rolled her eyes. Is it really that exaggerated?
The fat man, with his sharp eyes, spotted the snow leopard behind Bai Shuang and was taken aback. He was right; they were indeed capable.
These people had their connections, and in just over half a month, they found another set of papermaking tools.
Bai Shuang accepted his jade, but the papermaking tools weren't there. After agreeing on the price, she paid half of the grain and told them to deliver it directly to the military camp the next day.
After the three people and the dog finished their business, they prepared to head back.
"Miss Bai."
Hearing the voice, Bai Shuang turned around and saw Director Zheng and Director Wei, whom she had just met that morning.
Seeing that Bai Shuang seemed a little surprised, they took the initiative to explain that after visiting Lu Yu in the morning, they stopped by the border market to take a look.
Director Zheng is here to check the security situation, and Chief Wei is here to see if he can find some seeds in the market.
Bai Shuang: "What kind of seeds are you looking for?"
"No matter what kind of seed it is, as long as it is still viable, we are collecting it and trying to protect it," because this disaster has damaged too many seeds.
It's a good thing that the country has become aware of this so early.
"The dog is well-bred, would you like to sell it? Our police station is short of dogs. We'll definitely train it well, don't worry, it won't be mistreated."
Bai Shuang shook his head, and at that moment, the snow leopard bared its teeth at him.
Director Zheng was a little disappointed. He looked at the baring snow leopard and said, "What a smart dog! It's a pity it doesn't belong to us."
After greeting them, Bai Shuang and the other two continued walking back.
Bai Jiu muttered, "Of course snow leopards are intelligent, do you need to tell me?"
After Bai Shuang and the others left, Director Wei suddenly said, "Do you know whose dog Snow Leopard used to be?"
"Whose?"
Director Wei adopted a mysterious air and said, "Guess who this person is? You know him."
Director Zheng racked his brains for people he knew, then glanced at Director Wei's cunning expression.
"It's not yours, is it?"
Director Wei shook his head. "Lu Yu's."
