"I don't think so." Ye Qing shook his head.
Jiang Yan also thought so.
At this time, they would definitely put the overall situation first and let some people make sacrifices.
"So, we are relatively lucky people! At least we have a house to live in, food to eat, and clothes to wear! Even if we are flooded, we are the last wave of people. If it doesn't work, we will be like Robinson Crusoe and take a kayak to wander on the sea.
Others are drifting in Beijing and Shanghai, we will just drift on the sea! There is no need to worry too much!" Sun Jingtao slapped his thighs with both hands, straightened his back and said passionately.
Jiang Yan knew that the heavy rain would stop when it flooded the 20th floor, but she couldn't say it directly, so she said:
"Maybe God will open his eyes and the rain will stop in a few days. Don't worry too much."
Although she advised others like this, Jiang Yan's heart sank.
Many people thought that the natural disaster would end when the heavy rain stopped.
Only she knew that it was the beginning of another more serious disaster.
That disaster was even more fatal to the Anming people who were accustomed to the warm climate.
Many people who originally had some hope for the future also fell into complete collapse and despair at that time.
Su Dai has always secretly regarded Jiang Yan as her idol.
If her idol is not afraid, she is not afraid at once: "Yes, yes, do your best and leave it to fate!"
It is said that confidence is more important than gold in difficult times.
But confidence actually depends entirely on oneself.
"That's right, life and death are determined by fate, and wealth is determined by heaven!" Tian Jiliang finished speaking, and laughed: "The chicken soup is finished, now let me taste this noodle for you to see if it is cooked."
"Don't bother you, we can taste it ourselves." The others also laughed.
Everyone is also used to the storm, and they convinced themselves with just a few words.
Instant noodles have their own taste, and now they have been cooked in the fragrant soup for a long time, and the taste is extraordinary.
Everyone didn't say anything more, but buried their heads in eating noodles.
After a few minutes, the soup in the pot was drunk by everyone.
Su Dai got up and took some water and added some to everyone's cup.
She took another plate and put some melon seeds and peanuts on it.
It was getting dark outside, so she simply lit the alcohol lamp.
The light was dim, but better than nothing.
Su Dai then remembered that she had something important to say:
"By the way, I just found out that Zhou Wei and his family actually have a son."
For some reason, from the time Zhou Wei and his family broke open the fire door last night to the various behaviors of the couple just now, she always felt something was weird.
She couldn't tell.
When Jiang Yan and Su Dai were talking to Zhou Wei and his family at the door earlier, Sun Jingtao and the others in the house heard it clearly. They
were not far away originally.
Sun Jingtao grabbed a peanut and said, "I heard that the little girl has a brother?"
"Yeah, but when they moved up last night, I didn't see the little boy."
Tian Jiliang came over and said, "Could it be that he is still downstairs and hasn't moved up yet?"
He had also heard Sun Jingtao and the others talk about the people moving into 3203.
"It shouldn't be the case. What kind of parents would have the heart to leave their children alone."
Tian Jiliang raised his hand to push his glasses and analyzed:
"It is also possible that the little boy went to his grandparents' house before the high temperature and didn't come back. I remember when the high temperature came, it was July, and it was almost summer vacation for the children."
"Jiang Yan, what do you think?" Su Dai and Sun Jingtao looked at Jiang Yan at the same time while talking.
After all, she lived with them on the 32nd floor. If there was a problem with the neighbors next door, they would be the most affected.
If Zhou Wei's family were old residents, it would be fine, and they would know each other well.
But they had never seen these people before.
If they were just tenants, it would be fine, but they were afraid that they were "undercover" sent by Ma Longbiao's group.
"The children behaved generously and politely without restraint, which shows that Zhou Wei and his wife should have good family education. As for Wen Wanli and Wang Jin."
Jiang Yan recalled the scars on Wen Wanli's arm and her abnormal behavior in her mind, "I'm not sure."
Tian Jiliang listened to the analysis of several people and couldn't help laughing at himself: "Do you think we are too idle now? We are like detectives solving a case when a neighbor moved in." "
That's not too idle. In the past, I had to face bad bosses, bad customers, bad colleagues, bad mortgages, car loans, Huabei and Borrowing every day. Now, I worry about whether the rain will stop, whether there are bad people in the neighborhood, and what to eat after eating these foods." Su Dai couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Speaking of this, have Ma Longbiao and his gang been quiet recently?" Jiang Yan suddenly said.
She remembered that Sun Jingtao had told her before that Ma Longbiao and his gang were domineering downstairs.
But when she went downstairs before, she saw normal scenes.
"It should be, after all, the official ship is here, they have to be quiet." Su Dai said.
They were busy searching for supplies these days, and they only met each other once when they came back at midnight.
In addition, the other party made it clear that they would not interfere with each other, so they didn't pay much attention to it afterwards.
"No, you are totally wrong!" Tian Jiliang stretched out his hand to push his glasses and continued:
"As far as I know, they are not afraid of the official ship. They had previously found official people to report that Jiang Yan had a gun. What was the result? The official people just said that they would report it to the relevant departments and the problem was solved.
So they are likely to get worse now, but their influence has not spread to our 29th floor."
Jiang Yan: "..."
Su Dai was stunned, "It is said that they were previously domineering below the 20th floor. The official ship came, didn't anyone report that there were bullies in the building?"
"No, the first bird to stick its head out will be shot, no one dares to go. Besides, the official just dismissed their report that Jiang Yan had a gun with a few official words, not to mention these.
Those official people, searching for supplies and picking up young and middle-aged people, all have task targets to ensure completion. Naturally, they are not here to keep their official hats and not come to judge cases and uphold justice for you." Tian Jiliang shook his head and sighed silently.
"Wouldn't they unite? There are quite a few people on the lower floors." Su Dai was even more surprised.
"Yes, they did unite." At this point, Tian Jiliang frowned even more, "But they were united by Ma Longbiao's group."
Jiang Yan raised her eyebrows: "What do you mean?"
Sun Jingtao, Ye Qing and the other two frowned subconsciously.
"I found out all this secretly when I went downstairs today. You can understand it as, Ma Longbiao's gang has controlled the people downstairs.
Now all the supplies in everyone's home are under their unified management and allocation; at the same time, starting tomorrow, they will assign tasks to those people, similar to going out to find supplies.
Anyway, they have robbed some rubber boats, and every day they arrange for a few people to go out in the rain to search for supplies in the building, and then bring them back. Ma Longbiao and his gang distributed a small amount of supplies to these people, but most of them remained in their own hands.
You can understand it as, they have secretly established a small private base, but it's just very small in scale."
Sun Jingtao was a little puzzled: "Wouldn't it be a life-and-death struggle to go out in a rubber boat in such heavy rain, and those people are so willing to listen to his orders?"
"There's no way, most of the people who are under control have families with them, and the children are in their hands, and the adults have no choice but to listen to his orders."
After Tian Jiliang finished speaking, the light behind the lenses dimmed.
