Chapter 42 Extreme Heat, Sandstorm
Fortunately, Jiang Si had foresight and directly proposed the conditions for keeping the house to Kuang Jiaying.
Otherwise, living with this group of people, who knows how much trouble you will get into.
The people outside were arguing louder and louder. If there wasn't someone controlling the village, they would have rushed in and driven Jiang Si and the others out.
"You don't even dig a canal, so why are you taking advantage of our hard work? We provide you with water, food and shelter for free, while we live in a place worse than a doghouse!"
"That's right! Your family took advantage, so you should at least give something in return. You don't give anything, but only know how to take. You should be kind and have a conscience! In the face of national disaster, don't be so selfish. If everyone needs a place to live, they won't make things difficult for you!"
The water was brought back from the mountains with great difficulty by Kuang Jiaying and his team and was provided free of charge. Except for minors, everyone had to participate in the distributed labor and earn points before they could exchange them for food.
However, Jiang Si and the others have not yet gone to fetch water, and apparently they have exchanged it from Mo Hua.
Kuang Jiaying promised them a year's worth of food, but in reality, he had only given them a bag of flour so far.
Overall, they didn't gain any advantage at all.
Jiang Linhai looked angry and worried: "Could it be that Kuang Jiaying is deliberately causing trouble just to let them move in?"
Jiang Si shook his head: "He shouldn't have that much free time. No matter how big our house is, it's just a few dozen more people. If he has such trivial energy, it's better to let everyone speed up the infrastructure and repair the house."
Zhang Qingfang frowned. "Is it because we're being too conspicuous by not working? We're a bit conspicuous now, and since we're not working, people will surely guess we have a lot of supplies at home. They'll be jealous and envious, and that's why they're doing all sorts of bad things behind our backs."
Jiang Sidao said, "Even if we go to work, people will still miss us living in a single-family house, so trouble is bound to come."
"What should we do now?" Jiang Linhai asked.
Jiang Si looked at the angry crowd outside the window. "Kuang Jiaying agreed to our conditions, so naturally he must fulfill them. We didn't open the door, and they were making a fuss outside. I don't believe he didn't hear anything."
"If he feels the public outrage is irreversible and insists we give up the house, then there's nothing good about staying here. With so many people living together, everything we do is being watched. We might as well find a place to settle down somewhere else."
"Anyway, the giant mushrooms in my space have already grown, so we always have a way out."
Shen Baoying still asked a little worriedly: "Kuang Jiaying won't let them live here. Should we participate in labor to earn points in the future? If we don't go, will it be exposed in the long run?"
Even if Kuang Jiaying gave them all the promised food, it was still doubtful what basis they had for not working and guaranteeing that they would have no worries about food and drink for the rest of their lives.
Jiang Si looked at the thermometer hanging on the wall and said to everyone, "The temperature has dropped a few degrees in the past two days. I feel it is very likely to rain."
"They shouldn't have time to worry about us."
Everyone felt relieved since Jiang Si had an idea.
Lin Zu outside the door was so angry that he smashed the iron gate of their house: "Don't think you can get away with hiding. Get out now!"
He had inquired and found out that all the guns of Jiang Si's family had been confiscated, so they would definitely not dare to attack them.
Others followed suit and shouted, "Come out! Reassign the houses!"
Jiang Si's house was much better than the other temporarily repaired houses. It was said that they still had several thousand kilograms of grain. People who were not originally called by Lin Zu also rushed to the door of Jiang Si's house after hearing the news, shouting more excitedly than anyone else.
Kuang Jiaying went to Nancheng to report on the situation in the Longquan Village refugee camp. Song Hui took people to dig a canal. Jiao Weisong was the largest in the refugee camp now. He brought a few people to check the situation, but was blocked by everyone and asked for an explanation.
His explanation was infuriating, "If you can impress our battalion commander, you deserve to live in a big, single-family house!"
The people who originally gathered to watch the fun were all angered by Jiao Weisong's exaggerated words.
He mistakenly believed that Jiang Si had hooked up with Kuang Jiaying and that was why he had the privilege, so he banged on the door even more frantically.
Jiao Weisong was shoved aside with only a few people, still pretending to shout, "What are you doing! What are you doing! He has made a contribution!"
What's the point of him saying it now? He said it so quietly that few people could hear him.
The doors and windows were knocked loudly, and some people were trying to pry the doors and smash the windows.
Shen Baoying saw the situation outside and became extremely anxious: “Sisi, what if they break in?”
Their guns have been confiscated, but they can use bows, crossbows and nail guns to protect themselves. The key is whether they will be punished if they injure someone.
Jiang Si lowered his eyes, "Wait five more minutes, if no one stops them, we'll leave here now!"
Shen Baoying frowned: "Then where can we go?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the torches outside the door went out, and the restless crowd suddenly quieted down. Jiang Si also felt the sudden drop in temperature at this moment.
The howling wind was like a dragon roaring in everyone's ears.
Everyone shouted in surprise: "Is it going to rain?"
"call--"
The windows on the second floor were banging loudly, and everyone became more and more excited.
"It's going to rain! It's going to rain!"
Jiang Si listened to the howling wind, but felt that it would not rain so soon.
According to the process of the previous life, there would be a sandstorm for a while before it suddenly rained.
They were forced to leave here because the roof of their house was blown off by a sandstorm.
Since she had reinforced the roof in this life, this situation shouldn't happen again.
Jiang Si had just thought of this for a second when the excited shouts outside turned into panicked cries for help.
The extreme heat continued, and the earth, which had been dry and cracked for several months, blew up the dust and gravel on the ground without mercy, and violently attacked everyone.
Those who were a little lighter couldn't even stand and almost flew out.
The air became thin in an instant due to the sandstorm.
Every breath I took filled my nostrils with ashes, suffocating and burning my heart.
"ah--"
Someone was blown up and fell heavily on the remaining wall of Jiang Si's house.
"Bang-bang—"
The courtyard wall collapsed, and in the turbid moonlight, a blurry shadow could be vaguely seen. It was blown up like a tumbleweed and hit the tree stump heavily, followed by screams for help.
Lin Zu and Lin Chenghua sensed the danger and held on tightly to the iron gate of Jiang Si's house: "Open the door quickly and save people! Open the door quickly!"
Jiang Si looked out from the cave entrance and saw that not only were Lin Zu and Lin Chenghua holding on to their door tightly, but there were also many people who wanted to come into their house.
If you let people in, the wind will blow so hard that they will never be able to drive them away.
Jiang Si ignored it and asked his family to check whether the doors and windows were sealed.
Lin Zu was about to be blown away. He was anxious and banged on the door: "You watched someone die without helping, and you will suffer retribution! Go to hell! Open the door—you beasts, cold-blooded animals! You are worse than pigs, dogs, and beasts!"
