Chapter 19: Extreme Heat, Rat Infestation
Jiang Si said, "There's no one left at Qian Shou's house. I'll go and see what mint I can pick."
Jiang Linhai and Jiang Chenghai both wanted to go with her, but Jiang Si shook her head and said, "It's too unsafe for Mom and Grandma to stay at home. You both stay, and I can go alone."
Mom said worriedly, "At least let your dad go with you."
Jiang Si raised his pistol and said, "Don't worry, I'll be back soon. It won't take long." He smiled to reassure everyone, "I've lived in the apocalypse for ten years. Ordinary people can't hurt me at all."
Jiang Si insisted, and everyone had no choice but to compromise.
As soon as she went out, Jiang Si felt that the temperature had reached at least 65 degrees. The basketball court was baked into a rubber swamp, with tiny bubbles coming out. The village looked like the Japanese had raided it, and she could hear some strange and shrill screams from time to time.
Suddenly, a woman ran out in front, followed by several men with dirty eyes.
When she saw Jiang Si, it was like she had grabbed the last straw. She rushed over regardless of everything and hid behind Jiang Si, "Save me! Save me! Jiang Si, save me!"
Jiang Si knew this woman, her elementary, middle and high school classmate, Jiang Liwen.
Suddenly, another woman appeared. She was even more beautiful than Jiang Liwen in both figure and temperament. The men's eyes lit up. The most burly man with a scarred face and tattoos all over his body looked like a gangster who had been hanging around in society before the apocalypse. He pointed at Jiang Si and said, "This one is more beautiful. I want it first. I'll give it to you after I've had enough fun."
"Okay, big brother, eat the meat and we'll drink the soup!"
The men's lustful eyes wandered unscrupulously between her and Jiang Liwen.
Jiang Liwen was so frightened that she trembled and choked with sobs: "Please let me go, please..."
"Hahaha, how can I let you go? Even if it means death or the end of the world, we will still fight for every second to enjoy one day!"
The men laughed wildly, and suddenly, "Swish, swish, swish—"
Jiang Si moved quickly, shooting out eight nails in a row from the nail gun in his hand. The men covered their eyes almost at the same time and fell to the ground screaming.
Jiang Si shot out eight more nails in a row, shooting them into their solar plexus, completely eliminating these troubles.
At this unexpected turn of events, Jiang Liwen burst into tears of joy, grabbed Jiang Si's hand and said, "Thank you, thank you Jiang Si."
Jiang Si coldly shook off her hand and told her that she didn't have a nail gun and was just an ordinary person. If Jiang Liwen ran towards her, what would happen to her? Jiang Liwen should know very well.
Feeling Jiang Si's indifference, Jiang Liwen excitedly flattered him: "Jiang Si, you are amazing. I knew that you were different from other girls since you were a child. You are especially handsome."
Jiang Si didn't even bother to give her a glance and walked straight forward. Jiang Liwen was shocked, but she suppressed her nausea, jumped over the corpse on the ground, and chased after Jiang Si like a sticky candy: "Sisi, are you alone now? Do you want to come to my house and keep us company? My parents will definitely treat you as their own daughter."
Jiang Si suddenly stopped and looked at her, "Don't follow me."
The tone was extremely cold, without a trace of warmth.
I hate her so much.
Jiang Liwen's eyes suddenly turned red. She refused to listen and clung to Jiang Si's arm. She hurriedly revealed her true purpose: "Sisi, come home with me and save my parents. You are so skilled and have a nail gun. You will definitely be able to rescue them. You are our family's savior. All the good things in our house will be given to you first. Please, just move a few fingers."
Jiang Si had already done his best to save her, "Get out!"
Jiang Liwen's eyes widened in disbelief, and she said aggrievedly, "Sisi, we grew up together. I just asked you to save my parents. Do you have to be so mean? Besides, isn't it dangerous for you to be alone? If you're scared, you can lend me the nail gun. I can return it to you after I save my parents."
Jiang Liwen is quite brave and even dares to covet her nail gun.
Jiang Si raised the corner of her mouth, and Jiang Liwen thought she was soft-hearted. "Pa——" Jiang Si raised his hand and slapped her unexpectedly.
Jiang Si attacked ruthlessly, using all his strength.
Jiang Liwen's cheeks swelled up at a visible speed, and blood oozed from the corners of her mouth.
"No one is obligated to help you!"
Jiang Si walked ten meters away before Jiang Liwen came back to her senses. She looked at Jiang Si's back with a vicious look and shouted, "You could have saved us, why did you just watch us die? Jiang Si, you are so cold-blooded! People like you won't live much longer than us!"
There are too many people with unclear minds in the apocalypse. Jiang Si turned around and raised the nail gun, "You'll give me three seconds to escape."
Jiang Si's dark eyes were filled with the coldest light.
“1.”
Jiang Liwen was startled, her expression softened, and she pleaded weakly, "Sisi, I just said those words in anger. Please forgive me. Please, save my parents. They picked you up from school when you were a child. Can you really bear to watch them die?"
They are not her parents, why should she risk her life to save them!
Just because she has a bigger face?
“2.”
Jiang Si slowly pulled down the nail gun, and as his fingers were about to loosen, he was truly not afraid of costing her life.
Jiang Liwen gritted her teeth, thinking that as long as there is life, there will be no shortage of firewood, and turned around and ran away quickly.
After some delay, when Jiang Si arrived at the mint field behind Qian Shou's house, the mint had already been harvested by Qin Shen and tied into two small hills, which were about to be carried back.
He probably also discovered the effects of mint.
Jiang Si stared at the mint bundled by Qin Shen, wondering how to ask Qin Shen to give her half.
Qin Shen instead took the initiative to greet her and asked, "Do you want mint?"
Jiang Si nodded, prepared for Qin Shen's loud demands.
But unexpectedly, Qin Shen was a sincere person. He pointed at half of the mint and said, "I'll give you half and give me a few sets of clothes and shoes, okay?"
Jiang Si was stunned. It was so simple that she felt embarrassed to bargain. She nodded subconsciously.
Qin Shen said very politely, "Let me help you carry it back." Suddenly, his expression froze and he asked her, "Do you still want the wild boar? I want to exchange it for some food."
His little savings were completely eaten up by the rats.
Jiang Si saw that he exuded a simple and honest aura, and he didn't look like a cold-blooded killer at all. The thought of bargaining emerged boldly again.
"How much food do you want?"
Qin Shen asked tentatively, "One wild boar, one hundred kilograms of food?"
Oh my god, what a unique little angel who delivers meat.
If she doesn't change, people will be suspicious.
Jiang Si was about to agree immediately, but then asked cautiously, "Why don't you switch with someone else?"
There must be many people willing to exchange a wild boar for a hundred kilograms of food. Qin Shen would not poison them in the wild boar and then sneak into their homes to commit crimes.
