Chapter 21 The Smiling Man
Jiang Yan actually didn't need to buy anything anymore, but it was better to take it out than to let the money lie in the bank and become numbers.
In addition, the jewelry that her mother had stored in the vault in her name would also be taken out tomorrow.
After replying to the delivery arrangement text messages one by one, it was still early before bedtime, so she prepared to go into the space to take a look.
Not too early or too late, just as she was about to enter the space with a thought, the door was hammered "dong dong dong".
Yes, hammering.
And it was hammering very hard.
Jiang Yan frowned, picked up the pad and took a look at the surveillance.
Her surveillance used the best brand, not only the picture was high-definition, but also had the function of collecting sound.
Standing outside the door was a tall middle-aged man with a face full of flesh and a middle-aged woman with a slightly thin figure, a round face and a bun.
The woman was holding a palm-sized carved white porcelain plate in her hand, on which was a piece of cut yellow peach cream cake and a small transparent plastic fork.
The temperature was too high, the cream on the surface of the cake melted, and the yellow peach grains dotted on it all drooped stickily on the side.
The two people's faces were very red, and there were some fine beads of sweat on their foreheads, which should be due to the heat.
Most of the local people in Anming are used to the greenhouse environment of warm winter and cool summer. They have no resistance to the sudden hot weather like today.
And very few people have air conditioners installed at home.
Most of them choose to install them in west-facing rooms or hotels.
The degree of physical discomfort of ordinary people can be imagined.
Jiang Yan glanced at the screen. The man's steps were unsteady and his eyes were obviously a little drunk. There is
no such thing as visiting a temple for no reason.
What kind of thing can make a couple visit each other in the middle of the night?
If it is because of the child's birthday to deliver a cake, then it is almost ten o'clock now, isn't it too late?
In addition, the end of the world has not officially begun, and the old-fashioned plot of neighbors knocking on the door in novels is happening to me
. Although I may be overthinking, Jiang Yan still raised her eyebrows and pretended not to hear it.
"Dong! Dong! Dong!"
With the louder pounding on the door, the woman said in a hoarse voice: "Little sister, I know you are inside, please open the door."
"Yes, little sister, we are neighbors in 3203 next door, please open the door." The man next to him also politely echoed.
As soon as he finished speaking, the woman next to him glared at him fiercely and shouted in a low voice:
"Zhou Guangfu, why are you like an old gangster? Is it your right to call me little sister?!"
The flesh on the man's face trembled, and he smiled and said, "Wife, I am just shouting with you."
The woman ignored him, retracted her gaze and continued to pound the door with her little fist, her voice getting louder, "Little sister, please open the door! We have something urgent to find you!"
Good guy, it's not over yet.
Forget it, the end of the world hasn't started yet, let's go and see what the couple is going to do.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yan got up, took a medical mask from the entrance, put it on, and opened the door inside with a "creak".
Jiang Yan installed two doors in total.
The inner one is a solid bulletproof steel plate.
As for the outer one, the upper third of the door is a metal mesh as thick as a little finger, which can clearly see people outside.
This metal mesh can actually be powered by electricity, but Jiang Yan just didn't open it yet.
The entrance of her house has also been specially modified, just blocking the door horizontally, covering everything in the house.
As soon as the door was opened, the hot air outside blew in, and Jiang Yan felt like half of her head suddenly stuck into a sauna.
The cold air in the house "whoosh" overflowed along the holes of the metal mesh.
The faces of the couple standing outside the door were instantly cooled.
They looked at each other meaningfully, and their bodies involuntarily took a step forward.
But seeing Jiang Yan's cold eyes, they paused.
The woman looked back and wanted to look at her living room, but after finding nothing, she retracted her gaze and looked at Jiang Yan with a shy smile:
"Hello, little sister, I am Zhang Chunmei from 3203 next door, and this is my husband Zhou Guangfu. Can you open this door outside? It's the birthday of my child at home today, and I have left a piece of cake for you. We want to invite you to share the joy."
After that, she added: "We are also presumptuous to disturb you. In fact, we just @ed you in the owner group, and we saw that you didn't reply for a long time, so we came to knock on the door directly."
It is said that you should not hit a smiling person, and Zhang Chunmei believes that Jiang Yan is the same.
Owner group?
During the time when Jiang Yan went abroad to stock up, she deleted almost all the groups and all kinds of bad friends and quit.
She had completely cut off ties with her past self and some insignificant relationships around her.
The only group she kept was the owner group of Repulse Bay.
After Du Ziteng helped her complete the house purchase procedures, a man named Zhang Qiming from the owner committee added her as a friend and pulled her into the group.
Although Jiang Yan had been lurking and not talking, she had never thought of leaving the group.
After all, only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle.
Although she had made plans to hide in space and in the house after the end of the world, she couldn't just isolate herself from the world and stay in her own way.
By staying in the group for the time being, she would be able to have a relatively good grasp of the situation around her and the official reactions and responses after the subsequent natural disasters.
As for the other party @ing her in the group, it would be strange if she could go and see it.
After listening to He Chunmei's words, Jiang Yan didn't show much expression, but just said lightly:
"Thank you two, I appreciate your kindness, I won't eat the cake, save it for the children. If there is nothing here, I will close the door first. Also, I don't like to be disturbed, please don't knock on my door again in the future, thank you!"
Jiang Yan said, and turned around and left without waiting for the other party to speak.
Seeing this, He Chunmei was embarrassed for a moment, and then smiled and said: "Little sister, this is it, please wait a moment, I have an unwelcome request."
Wow!
Sure enough, this cake was sent by a weasel to a chicken to wish a happy new year.
Ah, no.
She is not a chicken.
Jiang Yan paused, turned around, and glanced at her with a cold look, "What?"
He Chunmei was shocked by her calm eyes, and her tone changed instantly, and "you" became "you".
"It's like this, sister. The temperature suddenly rose in Anming today. It's almost 42 degrees in the house. My two children and two elderly people have never encountered such a situation. The elderly also have heart diseases and their bodies can't stand it. My wife bought an air conditioner on a certain website, but the installation will be after tomorrow.
I was thinking that your family just installed two air conditioners a while ago, so I wanted to ask if it is possible to temporarily let the elderly and children in the family come to the living room to stay overnight tonight. Don't
worry, the children are very well-behaved, and the elderly are also very clean and will not make your house dirty. If it really doesn't work, we can refer to the hotel fees plus electricity bills to pay you some money."
"Cough cough cough!"
Jiang Yan ignored her, but suddenly stretched out her hand to cover her mouth and coughed wildly.
He Chunmei and Zhou Guangfu glanced at the light blue medical mask she was wearing, and were stunned for a moment, and their bodies involuntarily took a big step back.
