Chapter 69 Tornado. Forcing for Food
The six of them were divided into three classes. Yin Tianlin strongly requested to be in the same class with Huo Sisi, and no one objected except Huo Sisi. Huo Sisi's objection was ineffective.
Li Rong and Chu An are in the same class, Tang Xiao and Luo Yang are in the same class. If anyone is unable to stay overnight, please let them know in advance.
During the day, Li Rong, Tang Xiao and Luoyang often went down to fetch water. The three of them acted together, and no one dared to attack them, they could only stare at them.
The first three days were peaceful. On the fourth day, the man with glasses who had stolen Huo Sisi's video recorder, 510's mother and Liu Qin came up and looked around. When Tang Xiao found them, they puffed out their necks and said they were looking for trouble.
Naonao also cooperated with them in the acting and retorted.
These people have now forgotten how they blamed each other downstairs.
Tang Xiao told everyone about this matter. Li Rong said that he also noticed someone coming up to look at them, and it might be that the food downstairs was almost finished.
To be on the safe side, everyone decided to take shifts during the day, two hours each.
Another day passed, and three unfamiliar faces showed up when Li Rong was on duty. He couldn't stand it anymore, so he chased them out with a mop pole and beat them until their buttocks were bruised.
That night, they came to take revenge, threw several bags of things, and then ran away.
That half of the night was Tang Xiao and Luoyang's class. Tang Xiao went down to chase him, and Luoyang picked up the things on the ground and almost vomited.
They threw shit wrapped in strips of rags.
Tang Xiao almost vomited when he came back. The two of them hadn't eaten for the whole day.
When Chu An heard this, a picture already appeared in her mind. She shook her head hurriedly, trying not to think about it, otherwise she would not be able to eat.
The next day, the whole morning was quiet, and everyone still thought it was strange. Around 2 p.m., Naonao and his wife came up with a lot of people. Not long after, Ouyang was also surrounded by the crowd and appeared outside the iron fence, but he looked reluctant.
It was Chu An's shift, and she was chatting with Zhuona on WeChat. In the 2G era, waiting for messages was annoying, and seeing them was even more annoying.
Just as I was about to speak, Zhuona's message came in.
When their community was distributing food, there was a fight and two staff members died. The armed police had no choice but to shoot and kill several of the main troublemakers before the situation was settled. She was fine. Zhuo's mother was pushed by the crowd and fell, spraining her ankle, but it was not a big problem.
After the riot, the staff conducted a public opinion survey and reported the building bullies and evil forces. As long as two-thirds of the people reported, the people reported would be taken away directly by the armed police.
Chu An remembered that Qingrun Apartment also had this process when distributing food. Many people pointed the finger at the 11th floor, but when government staff asked them how they were oppressed, they couldn't explain.
When the number of informants was finally counted, many people abstained from voting, and the number of votes was not enough, so the armed police could not arrest anyone.
Chu An found that there were only twenty or thirty people willing to cause trouble. He used to think that everyone in the building was selfish, but now it seems that is not the case. More people are watching and trying to protect themselves.
"Hey, are you deaf?" Naonao slapped the iron fence impatiently.
Ouyang stopped her for a moment, then said to Chu An in a coaxing tone, "Little girl, go find them. You can't make the decision on this matter, and it has nothing to do with you. Don't bring trouble upon yourself."
Chu An looked at them expressionlessly, rubbed his sore eyes, and then continued to chat with Zhuona with his head down.
Ask her to find a way to collect some cotton-padded clothes and quilts, wood, coal, anything that can be used to make a fire for heating.
Zhuona immediately became excited. Her neighbor had just fished out a lot of coal from the water and was calling in the group to exchange for supplies, but few people bought.
"Go buy them quickly, buy as much as you can, and don't tell anyone."
Zhuona always believed in her words, so she agreed readily and asked her if she needed anything. They had speedboats for rent, and they would give her half a pound of rice for each trip.
In the previous life, it also happened. Everyone agreed on the price and took what they needed. Later, as the environment became worse and worse, people's hearts changed. Why do you have what I don't have? If you don't have it, you will rob it. If you don't give it, you will use force. At the least, you will be injured, and at the worst, you will die.
Gradually, social resources were monopolized by some organizations and evil forces, and ordinary people could only wait to die.
Ouyang continued to persuade, "Chu An, you are still young, there are some things you don't understand."
"Brother Ouyang, I think she is adamant. Don't try to persuade her." Nao Nao grabbed the iron fence with both hands and shook it vigorously. "If anyone is breathing, please let them out. You can really put a kid there as a watchdog."
Chu An raised his eyelids and scanned the people blocking the iron gate. There were about twenty of them. At the outermost edge stood a sturdy man with a wolf head tattoo on his arm, a little distance away from Nao Nao's group. It was unknown what he was thinking.
She put down the phone and said in a cold tone: "Can you say it again?"
Naonao rolled his eyes and ignored her, continuing to shout inside: "If you don't come out, don't blame us for being rude."
After Chu An sent the WeChat message, he said coldly, "The supplies distributed by the government are all the same. You have eaten them all. Do we have any left?"
"Bullshit, how could you have no food?" Liu Qin squeezed in halfway and yelled at the top of her lungs, "You hid all the food and deliberately left us empty-handed that day."
"Who said 'someone'?" Chu An stared at her, "Tell me who 'someone' is?"
Ouyang hurriedly tried to smooth things over, "Hey, Chuan. Now is not the time to create conflict. We have to solve the problem. You have a lot of food, so give some to everyone. Only then can we get through this difficult time together."
"I think they just want to starve us to death." The man with black-framed glasses was full of anger and pointed at Chu An with his index finger, "Being rich but unkind, being rich but unkind."
Chu An remembered that on the day when he robbed 1112, he was the one who shouted "the rich are unkind". Did this young man just learn this idiom?
The noise outside alarmed the small group on the 11th floor. Except for Yin Tianlin, everyone came out. Luoyang was holding a mop stick, Tang Xiao was holding a kitchen knife, Huo Sisi was holding a rolling pin, and Li Rong was playing with a throwing knife in his hand.
The four of them standing side by side in the corridor were a bit crowded, and Huo Sisi was pushed to the back. She couldn't pull Li Rong and Tang Xiao away, so she had to start from Luoyang's side and force him to the back.
"Oh, I wonder who it is." Huo Sisi's mouth is not for nothing. "When we were on the 11th floor, you two ate and drank our food, how dare you come here?"
Naonao put his hands on his hips and said calmly, "You gave me food to curry favor with me so that I could help you cover up the fact that you had food. I am not that kind of person. I came here this time to enforce justice and not let you monopolize the food."
