Chapter 69 Xu Yan can
Soon, a government official appeared with a megaphone and shouted, "This is the trading market. Cash transactions are available. Purchases are limited in the food and medicine sections, but everything else is free to buy! Please enter the market in an orderly manner and purchase in batches based on your needs. After purchasing, please be careful on your way back to avoid others stealing your hard-earned supplies!"
Buy in batches? That means the government controls it, and doesn't allow people to rush in and disrupt order, so everyone can buy the supplies.
Although Lu Xingtang and the other two arrived at the trading market very early, they were not the first people to enter the market. If they wanted to enter, they had to wait until the first group of people who bought supplies came out.
After waiting for nearly forty minutes, it was finally their turn. They quickly carried their bags and entered the market. Once inside, they, like everyone else, headed for the food and medicine section. They had already discussed what supplies to take and even drawn up a list. They simply purchased the supplies according to the list.
Prices have indeed risen dramatically. Rice is 500 yuan per catty, broken rice is 400 yuan per catty, soaked rice is 200 yuan per catty, salt is 100 yuan per bag, soybean oil is 800 yuan per barrel, and a box of Ganmao Ling granules used to cost around 20 yuan, but now it's 600 yuan per box...
Regardless of the type of rice, each person is limited to purchasing 10 kilograms, 3 bags of salt, and 3 barrels of oil. Only one box of each type of medicine can be purchased, and the extra ones will not be sold. Su Cheng cannot prepare too many antihypertensive drugs and quick-acting heart pills for Su Hao, so he can only ask Lu Xingtang and Ji Yanmo to help buy a few boxes.
Like everyone else, I only buy the limited amount of food and medicine that is subject to purchase restrictions. After buying, I go to the clothing area to see that winter clothes sell out very quickly. Nowadays, people buy clothes without considering the style or size. As long as they are warm enough, they will buy all of them and take them home.
As a result, no one bought summer clothes, so Lu Xingtang and the other two bought a set of winter clothes from head to toe, and then bought summer clothes and underwear.
Su Cheng came to the department store carrying large and small bags on his back. What he wanted to buy most was a stove and a furnace tube. He also wanted to transform his home into the same as Lu Xingtang's home. He was not afraid that Su Hao would freeze to death.
After searching for a while, the three of them finally found a stove in the department store. Ji Yanmo and Su Cheng each bought one. The stove was very expensive, costing 200,000 yuan for one, and two would cost 400,000 yuan.
Based on the number of furnaces in Lu Xingtang's home, Su Cheng and Ji Yanmo calculated how many furnaces they needed and bought two more. They were not worried about having too many, but they were worried that if there were too few, the heat would not be delivered to the bedroom.
In the end, only 30,000 yuan was left, so they walked around the department store for a while, bought a box of toilet paper each, and gave the remaining money to Lu Xingtang, because sanitary napkins were for sale there, so Lu Xingtang bought some.
They didn't buy fuel. The house was full of wood, which was enough for them to burn for a while. If it was not enough, they could go outside to find some.
After paying the bill, Lu Xingtang and his friends were targeted as they walked out of the trading market. They had bought so many supplies that they were obviously big customers. They were all ready to go and make a big move.
Because of the stove and furnace, it was not easy to take the supplies back home. Lu Xingtang suggested that they move the supplies to the side of the soldiers. She stayed to guard the supplies while Ji Yanmo and Su Cheng moved the supplies.
Ji Yanmo and Su Cheng agreed immediately and immediately transferred the supplies to the vicinity of the soldiers on guard. Then they packed the bulging bags on their backs and tied up the furnace with a rope. After making sure it would not fall off, they carried the furnace towards the Sunshine Community.
Lu Xingtang saw the people in the crowd saw Ji Yanmo and Su Cheng leave. Lu Xingtang was standing next to the soldiers, so it was difficult for them to take action. They changed their target, quickly exited the crowd, and caught up with Ji Yanmo and Su Cheng.
Ji Yanmo and Su Cheng seemed unaware of the followers behind them. They deliberately slowed down until they were out of the blind spot of the guards. The people following them also found the best place to attack and immediately attacked from all sides. "Boys, put down the supplies in your hands, and I will give you a chance to live!"
Ji Yanmo and Su Cheng put down the supplies, took out a gun with a silencer from their pockets, and quickly shot back to back.
Bang! One shot at a time. Their accuracy was much better than Lu Xingtang's. They hit the target accurately and precisely.
By the time they reacted, several of their brothers had already died: "Run!" Some of them wanted to rush out of the soldiers' blind spot so that the soldiers could notice their situation, but their speed was not as fast as the bullets, and they were shot before they could run out.
The two men carried the supplies and the furnace and quickly returned to the community. After temporarily placing the supplies at Ji Yanmo's house, they hurried back to the trading market.
Lu Xingtang stood next to the soldier and no one dared to rob her, so she was safe.
Other supplies were easy to get, but the stove was really not easy to get. "It would be great if there was a cart!" Su Cheng immediately went to the trading market to ask if there were any carts for rent or sale, but there weren't any.
People in the trading market are also worried that the meat buns thrown at the dog will never come back, and people nowadays have no credibility.
Ji Yanmo and Lu Xingtang exchanged a glance, and Ji Yanmo went to look for it and found a three-wheeled bicycle. When Su Cheng saw the three-wheeled bicycle, his eyes lit up: "You are really amazing!"
The three of them put the two stoves on a three-wheeled bicycle, which was prone to slipping on the ice. Lu Xingtang controlled the direction in front, while Ji Yanmo and Su Cheng pushed from behind.
When he was about to return to the community, Lu Xingtang saw from afar that Xu Yan was surrounded and beaten by three men and her supplies were robbed. Xu Yan guarded the supplies tightly and did not let go even when being beaten by the other two men.
"You bitch, we just want to take the supplies that belong to us. If you don't let go, don't blame us for being cruel!"
Xu Yan bought the supplies from the trading building with the last bit of cash she had. It wasn't much, just 10 kilograms of rice, a bag of salt, and three packs of sanitary napkins. She was careful enough when she returned home, but she was still discovered. They came up and robbed her without saying a word, leaving her no time to draw her gun.
"Xu Yan was kidnapped! Lu Xingtang, go help her, she's a good person!" Xu Yan was completely different from the scheming and evil-minded people in their apartment building. She had even helped him.
Lu Xingtang refused because: "Xu Yan can protect the supplies and herself!" Because Xu Yan was looking for an opportunity to break free from the cage.
Xu Yan noticed that the man who was snatching the supplies was not as strong as before. She suddenly rolled over, pressed the supplies to the ground, and used her body to protect them. She took the opportunity to stuff her other hand into her clothes, took out the gun, and squirmed her body, arching her body, and pulled the trigger in an instant.
She raised her head and looked at the man who was kicking her body. She quickly pointed the gun at him and bang! He hit her in the stomach!
The sudden gunshot startled the other two men. Xu Yan didn't give them a chance to fight back. She leaned slightly to the side and pointed the gun at the other man's head. Bang! The man's forehead was pierced by the bullet and he fell to the ground with a thud.
When Xu Yan fired the second shot, Lu Xingtang also took out a pistol and shot at the man behind Xu Yan!
