Chapter 272 Extremely Hot. Poisonous Insect Outbreak
At six o'clock in the evening, the sun finally slowly climbed to the other side of the mountain. When Chu An and Gu Ye came out, the old couple and a man in his seventies were discussing how to clean up.
Several people made a brief introduction. The old couple were retired employees of a bank. The man in his seventies was a genuine farmer. He came to the city to visit his son and was arranged to live here. He has lived here ever since.
Chu An and Gu Ye only mentioned their previous occupations - students, and did not reveal anything else. After more than a year of natural disasters, everyone has learned to stay vigilant.
The last person to come out was a middle-aged man. What Chu An didn't expect was that he lived next door to them.
The middle-aged man did not introduce himself, but simply said hello, and then began to divide the work. In order to avoid people slacking off, each person was responsible for an area and had to finish the work within a week.
The area they need to clean is not large, and six people can basically finish it in three days. However, since the temperature is 30c at night, they still arrange it themselves according to their physical condition.
After working for two days, Chu An discovered that the two old men were the best performers in the team, and the old lady and Gu Ye tied for third place.
The middle-aged man and Chu An looked at each other awkwardly, and continued to chase with their heads down, picking up scraps of copper and iron, advertising signs, rotten plants and animals, and occasionally getting hit and getting half or all of a special reward.
This is nothing. The most disgusting thing is that some things are half buried in the mud and you have to use a shovel to dig them out. If you don't dig them well, they will explode with a "bang".
Each person vomits an average of three times a day, encourages each other ten times, and swears a number of times.
Although Chu An worked slowly, he was the calmest one. By the fourth day, he had caught up with the first place, the old farmer.
At the end of the last day, the six people clapped in unison.
The old couple suggested that they wait for a few days until the ground was drier and then fence off the community. Everyone else agreed, and Chu An followed suit.
When returning home, Chu An found that there was a little girl in the middle-aged man's house. She quietly lifted a corner of the curtain and stared outside with her big dark eyes without blinking.
After returning home, the middle-aged man hurriedly lowered the curtains. At that moment, the little girl gave him a big smile and Chu An breathed a sigh of relief.
At night, Chu An entered the space and saw three people busy unpacking packages. Yes, she still had so many packages, most of which were received from film and television companies. At first, she and Shen Xun were too lazy to unpack them, but later they completely forgot about it.
She wanted to help, but Wang Ce refused, "Today's test paper is more difficult, you'd better leave enough time."
Chu An gave a polite smile and endured it for the sake of quickly improving his mental strength.
She moved the desk out and sat across from the three of them to write, occasionally asking Wang Ce if she didn't understand something. He was still very serious about teaching, and his explanations were very clear. He could really analyze problems from the students' perspective, which Chu An admired him for.
Suddenly, Guo Changren hid something behind his back, looking a little embarrassed.
Wang Ce frowned, "What's wrong?"
"These fans are too...ah...too bold." Guo Changren held it in for a long time before coming up with this word.
Wang Ce took the plastic product in his hand and took a look at it, saying that it was a low-quality product and was bad for the body.
"Destroy it quickly and don't let Xiao An see it." said Guo Changren.
"You should treat the word sex correctly. It's not a difficult topic to talk about. It's just that someone... wuwuwu..."
Shen Xun covered his mouth with a bad look, "Do you still want to write a paper on it?"
Wang Ce hurriedly shook his head, showing weakness. Only then did Shen Xun let him go.
Apart from this thing that shouldn't be here, everything else... is also quite shocking.
Normal category: big brand clothing, bags, hats, jewelry, skin care products, mobile phones, game consoles, greeting cards, love letters
Secondary normal category: Weirdly shaped cups, mostly in pairs. Strange handicrafts, probably related to the culture of different countries. Wigs, all colors, lengths, and shapes. Height-increasing insoles, ranging from 1 cm to 10 cm.
Speechless things: a box of test papers, a box of garlic, a box of diapers, a fork that was almost as long as Wang Ce's legs, her own nude photos, and the byYt hidden by Guo Changren, etc.
After Chu An finished the test paper, all the things that shouldn’t have appeared were packed up by Shen Xun and moved away.
She casually flipped through the jewelry closest to her. There were gold, silver, and diamonds. The fans were really rich, but nothing could attract her.
She picked up a necklace at random. The pendant below was a strange symbol, which seemed to be designed by herself. Suddenly she remembered something, and hurried to the cabin to get a pen and paper, and drew a circle with a π inside.
"Chen Xun, can you help me see if you have seen this symbol?"
Shen Xun looked at it for a while, shook his head and said, "I haven't seen it before, why are you asking this?"
She had once had a dream in which Lao Chu was beaten. She had been trying hard to remember what the person who beat Lao Chu looked like and ignored other information.
"When I saw the pendant just now, I remembered that three of the people who beat Lao Chu had this symbol on their necks."
"Generally, gangs are willing to design their own symbols. If you follow this line of thought, you can look south for them."
"What do you mean?"
"Gangs in the south are used to using simple symbols as their logos, just like the north likes to use animals and the west likes to use words."
"What about the east?"
"The East likes animals just as much as the North, but they use strange animals. For example, the North is accustomed to using tigers, eagles, lions, cranes, turtles, dragons and snakes, while they use spiders, scorpions, centipedes, mantises, piranhas or jellyfish."
Chu An seemed to understand, but he didn't quite understand that gang culture was also a profound subject.
The next day, the first thing Chu An did when he woke up was to send the symbol to Li Qing and ask him to help find out.
Li Qing called directly, "Have you been bullied by this gang?"
“…”
"Tell me who it is, and Brother Qing will avenge you."
Chu An was helpless, but from Li Qing's tone, there was no doubt that this symbol represented a gang. "I have no grudge against this gang. I just want to know where this gang is."
"You want to challenge the club?"
"I want to find Lao Chu." Chu An only said that Lao Chu was beaten by someone with this symbol tattooed on him. He did not mention the dream or the death.
"Ah, I was shocked." Li Qing looked at the symbol for a while, "I've never seen it before, but I can ask around for you."
Snap—Snap—Snap—
As soon as Chu An put down the phone, he heard three crisp sounds, and then Gu Ye rushed out like the wind, sweating profusely in the house with an electric fly swatter.
As the weather gets warmer, flies, mosquitoes, cockroaches, ants and all kinds of flying insects that cannot be named come out.
Chu An took out the insecticide from the space. The two of them put on masks, sprayed the entire house, and then went out and waited.
It seems that sealing the gaps between doors and windows is of no use at all.
