Chapter 211: Extreme Cold. Return to Song'an Town
Gu Ye's eyes also began to waver, and he couldn't help but have some bad guesses in his mind, but he immediately dispelled the gloom. In this kind of weather, it is possible to exchange the watch for food.
"Don't worry, Xiao An. His nephew won it, not robbed it." Gu Ye tried his best to comfort him, "Or maybe he used it to exchange for food."
Chu An also knew that it was useless to think about it. When she was reborn, there was only half a month left before the natural disaster. She had to stock up on supplies in a familiar place to prepare for the future. Besides, she didn’t know where Lao Chu was at that time.
When heavy rain, tornadoes and extreme cold come one after another, they are all extreme weather. Although she has a space, she cannot go in. Once she encounters danger beyond her ability, she is no different from an ordinary person.
The space would not give her another chance to be reborn, and everything had to be guessed and verified by herself. She had to be very careful and cautious.
Chu An calmed down and prepared to dig deeper along this clue, "Can you take me to find your nephew? I want to know how he won it."
The old man showed an embarrassment, "Girl, it's not that I don't want to take you. He signed up to go to the Lian City Construction Base and has been gone for half a month. He said he would be back soon, but I don't know the exact date. But you can go back with me and ask their family first. We both live in Shierlipu."
She thought about it and decided that if she went straight to his house, she would probably end up in the wrong place. It would be better to go to his house first, perhaps his family members had some clues.
"Okay, I'll go back with you."
"Then let's get up tomorrow. My old arms and legs can't walk today."
Chu An nodded. Suddenly, the old man asked with a smile, "Um...what are you going to do with the supplies here?"
He didn't want to ask who the supplies belonged to after the person was killed, but these two people had never entered the kitchen.
Chu An instantly understood what he meant. She had been restraining herself from taking up other people's survival resources, but she couldn't give them away for free, so she asked, "How much is in there?"
"It's quite a lot, enough for a family of six to eat for two years."
She and Gu Ye went to take a look and found that there were a lot of staple foods and half a cabinet of wine.
The old man followed them and kept on talking, "It's not that I'm greedy, but I have an old mother and children and grandchildren at home, and everyone is waiting for me to find food to bring back. I'm asking this with a smug look on my face, I really have no choice."
"I can give you the supplies, but you have to help me do something." Chu An looked around, but nothing piqued her interest.
"What's the matter? Just tell me." The old man's expression immediately became lively.
"You have to take care of the two women in the room and that crazy hunchback."
"It's not that I have no conscience. It's just that I've heard about that hunchback. He has a gun and kills people. I really don't dare to bring him home. As for those two women, if I bring them back, the tigress at home will chop me to pieces."
Chu An didn't want to make things difficult for him. Luo Gou's mind was confused and no one could predict what he would do. Besides, it was hard to say whether he was willing to leave here.
As for the two women, the chances of them surviving are slim.
"Think about it again. If it really doesn't work, divide the supplies here into four parts, one for each of you four. Go back and ask the neighbors if there are any willing to take them in. If you can accept them, take the supplies with you."
By spreading them out, those who are willing to accept will feel much less pressure.
"Okay, I'll think about it and give you an answer tomorrow." The old man asked again, "What about their clothes?"
"If you took it off, it belongs to you."
As he was talking, Luo Gou walked into the kitchen, without looking at anyone, found the pots and bowls and rice, and started to light a fire and cook with great skill.
"Xiao An, he doesn't seem to need anyone to take care of him." Gu Ye whispered, "Just leave him some food."
Come to think of it, if the person couldn't take care of himself, would he be alive today? She was worrying too much!
"Let me make a fire and cook some noodles," said the old man.
Chu An nodded and offered to eat their meal as a reward for saving his life.
The next morning, the old man rushed to look for them. One of the two women had died, but the other survived. Although she still couldn't walk, her mental state was obviously much better.
Gu Ye went to see, and the one who survived was the woman who asked him for food but ended up not eating it and just held it in her hand.
Now there was only one person who needed care, a woman. The old man gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, agreeing to take her home, but he needed Chu An and Gu Ye's cooperation.
"Just say that this person is your sister. You want to go find someone and leave her in my house for care first. My old lady is kind-hearted and will definitely agree."
"Do you need to be criticized for being soft-hearted?" Gu Ye asked in surprise.
"You are soft-hearted to outsiders, but hard-hearted to me." The old man said helplessly, but he couldn't suppress the smile on his face.
Before Chu An left, he left two sets of supplies for Luo Gou, one for the dead woman, and no one objected.
When they set out, she saw Luo Gou standing on the roof of the warehouse watching them. Perhaps because of the relationship between Chen Xun and his son, she felt that Luo Gou was a little pitiful.
There are too many poor people in this world, and she can't sympathize with them all. She just hopes that he can get better soon and get out of this predicament.
Chen Xun in the space was not happy either. Luo Gou was not the murderer, and the clues of the murderer were cut off. Although all the evidence pointed to Gao Qiang and the Masked Fox, where was Gao Qiang and who was the Masked Fox?
As a man who can't even survive himself, there is no way he can investigate, so this matter will have to come to an end for the time being.
I returned to Song'an Town and continued driving the pickup truck, placing all the supplies I needed to take away in the back truck.
The old man is called Wang Wende, he is 56 years old this year. He used to be a farmer near Song'an Town. Because his land was occupied, his family moved to Shierlipu, about 20 kilometers away from Song'an Town.
After he stopped farming, he opened a grocery store, and it was because of this business that his family of six survived to this day.
The woman's name is Yuan Yan. She is 27 years old and works as a kindergarten teacher in the town. She just got married this year. Her husband was killed by a bully in the building. She had been humiliated and finally escaped. She went to City C to live with her relatives, but was kicked out.
She had no other place to go, so she had to go back to Song'an Town, but she fell into the wolf's den again on the way. Now she was completely desperate, and there was no point in living, but she was unwilling to die.
The four of us arrived in the town before noon. There were obviously more people in the town than outside, but they were all in a hurry. Wang Wende said that the police station and government in the town had been paralyzed, and the place was now unmanaged.
"We still have to drive 20 kilometers south to reach Shierlipu," Wang Wende said while pointing the direction.
Gu Ye drove according to his instructions. The car was quite cool and attracted a lot of people's attention, but they all stared at it blankly.
After they turned onto a wide main street, Yuan Yan suddenly said, "Please leave me here. I'm not going to Brother Wang's house."
Wang Wende was surprised, "Girl, is there anyone at home who takes care of you?"
Yuan Yan shook her head. "No, but I don't want more people to see me like this. Life and death are up to me. Don't worry about me."
Wang Wende looked at Chu An and Gu Ye, and seeing that they had no intention of persuading them, he gave up, "Well, I'll carry your share of supplies down for you."
Gu Ye parked the car at the location designated by Yuan Yan. It should have been a nice residential area in the past. The buildings outside were very beautiful, but there were too many people wandering around the door.
