Chapter 53 Heavy Rain. Give up the 10th Floor
Chu An only stayed on the top floor for a short while before coming down from the security door. She walked to the corner of the stairs and heard footsteps on the 11th floor.
He hurriedly stopped and carefully identified the footsteps to confirm that only one person was walking down.
She wasn't afraid. With her current mental strength, she could easily kill three people at the same time. What she was worried about was that someone was behind this, and if she couldn't catch the culprit, there would be hidden dangers.
When I went down to the eleventh floor, the voice-controlled lights in the corridor were on because people were walking around.
The person who came was a young man, between 1.75 and 1.8 meters tall. He didn't look like someone who worked in an office. His exposed skin was bronze, and his left arm was darker than the right.
He had his back to Chu An, so his appearance could not be seen.
The young man didn't notice Chu An either. He walked to the door of 1101, stopped, and knocked three times.
The door of 1101 opened, and Manager Ouyang appeared in their sight wearing pajamas and with a messy hair.
When Manager Ouyang invited the man into the room, he saw Chu An and nodded at her. The young man also looked over.
Chu An then saw his appearance clearly. He had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and was very masculine. He also nodded politely to Chu An.
She quickly searched for the strange man's information in her mind. This man had appeared once when Yin Tianlin was selling things. He seemed to be standing behind Manager Ouyang at that time, but he didn't buy anything.
The two people over there had already entered the house, and Chu An also opened the plastic steel door of her own house.
If enemies come, we will fight them; if water comes, we will block it with earth. With the blessing of space, as long as she is more careful, she should be able to deal with the people in this building.
She took off her raincoat, went to the bathroom to take a shower, and then heated a cup of milk to drink.
Although Xiao Wang’s death did not shock and anger her as much as Shen Xun’s, it still made her feel sorry for him. It is true that good people do not live long, but evil deeds last for thousands of years.
She read a book downstairs for a while, then moved to the bed, snuggled into the soft quilt, and relaxed her whole body and mind. It would be so happy if she could stay like this forever.
However, she couldn't sleep tonight.
I had no choice but to take out the magic sleep aid - five years of college entrance examination and three years of simulation. After completing a set, I entered the space.
This time Shen Xun did not go up the mountain, he was feeding the chickens, ducks and geese.
He saw Chu An appear, quickly poured the feed into the trough, wiped his hands with his apron and walked to the fence. His long legs easily stepped over the fence to Chu An's chest.
It's really frustrating to compare yourself with others. She is already 1.55 meters tall in two years. When will she grow taller?
"Sleeping so late today?" Shen Xun asked him.
"Well, someone's dead."
Shen Xun paused visibly, "Who died?"
Chu An briefly recounted the matter of Xiao Wang and the building. The more Shen Xun listened, the tighter her sword-like brows knitted together. However, he did not express any opinions, only telling her to try to have as little contact with the people in the building as possible.
She nodded, turned and went into the wooden house, lying on the single bed that Shen Xun had set up for her, imagining the pastoral life.
After a while, Shen Xun knocked on the door and came in, bringing her a basin of dates and a glass of water.
"I recently discovered that stream water helps me recover. You should drink some too. It might help strengthen your body."
"I just came in with my consciousness. You don't need to eat either. We should both be spirits now. Drinking these shouldn't be of any use."
"Can you really use science to explain non-science?"
The corners of Chu An's mouth twitched, and then he pursed his lips towards Zaozi, "Did you pick them from the mountain?"
"Um."
“Is it good for your health?”
"No, but date pits might be useful."
Chu An raised his eyebrows, "You want me to use date pits as weapons?"
"Well, it's lighter than stone. You can try it."
She thought of a character in a costume drama, with rejection written all over his face.
Shen Xun pulled a chair over and sat by the window, looking out with a far-reaching gaze, "Actually, it's hard for me to understand, but recently after drinking stream water, I occasionally feel hungry. Although this feeling is not strong, it makes me feel that I am still alive."
Chu An could sense his disappointment and anticipation, and hurriedly sat up, "You should stay in the maple forest more often, the time there is different from other places."
Shen Xun nodded and said, “I know that time there is slowly flowing backwards. I originally wanted to build another cabin in the maple forest, but…”
He didn't continue speaking and looked at Chu An calmly.
"Just build it. You have the skill anyway." Chu An reacted after he finished speaking and said with a wry smile: "You don't want me to help you find something outside, do you?"
Shen Xun smiled and said, "Do you remember that I worked in an outdoor goods store?"
Chu An raised his eyebrows and waited for him to continue.
“That outdoor store has a portable assembly room.”
Chu An saw it when he was buying a rubber boat, and he was jealous at the time, "You are a people's policeman, it's not right to just take it like this."
Shen Xun nodded thoughtfully, "It's not good, why don't you leave my bank card to their family."
Chu An rolled his eyes at him, then smiled knowingly.
She told him all the known apocalyptic disasters these days. He didn't show any expression after listening, but just asked, is there any meaning in what he did before?
Chu An thought quickly, "If it weren't for your efforts, the end of the world would have come long ago."
Shen Xun just smiled and said nothing.
Therefore, after what she said today, she felt that Shen Xun had accepted the current situation. Just accept it, people always have to look forward.
"The money won't be usable anymore, and City C will become a waste city." Chu An said reluctantly, "If I don't take them, the things will be wasted, so it's better to let them play their value."
Chu An picked up the water cup, drank it all, and ate a date. It was a little hard, but tasted okay.
"I'll get ready tomorrow and go tomorrow night."
If she remembered correctly, after tonight, the rain began to subside, and when the water level reached the windowsill on the sixth floor, it turned into drizzle, and the water level basically stayed below the windowsill on the sixth floor.
"Let's go after the rain stops. There's no need to rush for a day or two." Shen Xun was not so obsessed with the sunroom, but Chu An wanted it very much.
"I won't be stubborn, don't worry about me." Chu An said with a smile, "I was a little sick a while ago, and I kept thinking about all sorts of things. Now I have figured it out, and I will cherish my life."
After explaining, she still had to grind the stone.
As the saying goes, diligence can make up for lack of talent. But she didn't believe that she couldn't sharpen the willow leaf darts.
Chu An was awakened by a knock on the door. Maybe because of her irregular sleep recently, she felt a little dizzy when she opened her eyes. She answered the call from outside and asked the person knocking on the door to wait.
She put on her clothes, filled a glass of water, and then took out a vitamin C effervescent tablet and put it in it.
She waited until she finished drinking the water before opening the door. Wow, there were six people standing outside.
I don’t recognize Manager Ouyang, Huo Sisi, Yin Tianlin’s bodyguard, or the rest.
"What's the matter?" Chu An wanted to put on a cold face, but he yawned involuntarily and lost the initiative.
Manager Ouyang asked softly, "Hello, little girl, where is your parents?"
"They haven't come back yet, tell me if there's anything."
"It's like this. Since it's been raining non-stop outside and there are people making trouble downstairs, we've discussed giving up the 10th floor and asking everyone on the 10th floor to move to the 11th floor."
Huo Sisi added: "As long as our floor is full, they will have no excuse to come again."
"Yes, instead of living on the same floor with strangers, why don't we unite first? At least you are all my tenants and I know you."
Chu An didn't care who her neighbor was, she would be equally vigilant no matter who they were. But if she could reduce the danger, it would be possible.
"I have no objection." After that, he reminded, "You should think carefully. Closing the security door on the 11th floor is equivalent to opposing the people downstairs."
Manager Ouyang pursed his lips.
Huo Sisi said, "We will handle this carefully. You just stay at home and don't come out unless necessary. It's very dangerous outside now."
"Yeah." Chu An responded, sent them away and closed the door.
These houses are originally under the management of Manager Ouyang, so there is nothing wrong with not asking for her opinion.
I went back to the living room and used the daytime to cook. I made dumplings today. I just learned from Shen Xun.
Pure beef filling, beef and radish filling, pork and green onion filling, pork and cabbage filling, chicken and mushroom filling, one pot of each. The skin was prepared by Shen Xun in advance.
She worked from nine in the morning to eight in the evening and made a total of 200 buns. Now there is only one tray left in the steamer.
While the buns were still hot, she washed her face, changed her clothes, and then took out the emergency rescue kit.
Suddenly, she remembered one thing—Chen Xun still owed her three sets of winter clothes.
