Chapter 103 Returning Home Safely (23)
"No, if we block them with so many people, it's like we're threatening them. So I thought I'd try to borrow some supplies at night. If that doesn't work, they can't possibly eat all the supplies in one day. It's okay to pick the lock. There's no need to make things so awkward right from the start."
Actually, there is some truth to what Su Han said. We all live in the same building and see each other every day. It will be difficult to get along with each other if the relationship becomes too strained.
Even if they didn't know Lan Jin, they still knew something about Huang Jinghe's life experience, not to mention Lao Gao and Ling Jiang who looked fierce.
A young man in the crowd said, "I think Brother Su's advice is great. Just a reminder: don't mess with that bearded man and that tall woman. They're boxers, really good ones."
The bearded man refers to Lao Gao, and the tall woman refers to Ling Jiang. Ling Jiang's height is 175cm, and at least 177-178cm with shoes on. In addition, she is a boxer and has a large build, so she looks like someone who is not easy to bully.
To be honest, among these four people, Lan Jin seems to be the easiest to talk to.
But that's not the point.
Some people always scoffed at what the youngster said, "How great can he be? He can't take on the whole building by himself. There are dozens of us."
The young man explained, "That woman fights in underground boxing matches. Every blow she takes is deadly. She's even more capable than that bearded man. If you don't believe me, go and try it. If you get hurt, don't blame me for not warning you."
Everyone present couldn't believe it, "You young man, you have poor eyesight and you must have recognized the wrong person." How could that kind of person live here?
The young man shook his head and said, "No, I didn't recognize her mistakenly. It's her."
The young man was very determined that he had not recognized the wrong person. After all, Ling Jiang's appearance and figure were very recognizable.
Moreover, the opponents participating in those boxing matches are all skilled, not to mention ordinary people like them.
In short, for the sake of your own safety, never take the initiative to provoke others.
As for the boxing gym...
That place was indeed a boxing gym before, but it is not known whether it was run by Lao Gao and Ling Jiang before.
…
The four of them left the community and rowed all the way towards the boxing gym. They took out their backpacks and big bags, and after a lot of stuffing, they finally stuffed all the supplies in.
They didn't dare to delay any longer and immediately returned to the window entrance. After coming out, Lan Jin couldn't help but sigh again, "Why do we have to wait until tomorrow? The water level will flood in soon."
"That's right, let's go back quickly." Huang Jinghe said, and after putting the supplies in place, he and Lao Gao quickly rowed back towards the community.
And those residents who had not left in the first place were even more reluctant to leave after not seeing them return.
But when I saw them bringing back so many supplies, I felt jealous and resentful.
Just as they were about to go forward to cause trouble, Lan Jin and Lao Gao raised their knives high again, scaring the residents so much that they retreated one after another. After all, no one could guarantee that these two men were not holding the knives for decoration.
What if it really gets cut down?
If you get injured or killed, and can't even find a place to get treatment, it would be a waste of time and effort.
Another very important point is that no one is willing to sacrifice themselves for the benefit of others, so it’s okay to talk, but no one dares to really take action.
Therefore, during the second round of material transfer, they were still able to go upstairs smoothly.
After the four of them ran wildly, they arrived at Lao Gao's house again.
Lao Gao first glanced at his door lock, confirming that no one had touched it, and then said, "Fortunately, these people are smart, otherwise I don't know what the consequences would be."
After they entered the house and piled the supplies in the living room, they finally couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
The four of them smiled at each other, and today's trip finally ended successfully.
However, no amount of supplies can cover up the plight of each of them.
They were soaking wet, so they couldn't start dividing the supplies in their wet clothes. So Lao Gao said, "Why don't you go back and change your clothes first? You can leave the supplies at my house. No one can take them away. We've been freezing all day, so we don't want to catch a cold. It's 5:37 now. How about changing clothes and fixing your hair and coming together at 6 o'clock?"
Lan Jin thought it was no problem. She said, "Okay, I have some Isatis root at home. I'll boil some hot water and bring it up for everyone to drink. Do you have cups at home?"
"Yes, but you still have this thing."
"I have children at home. These are the medicines we always have at home, but the quantity is small. Let's go and pack them up."
After Lan Jin finished speaking, she stood up, and the other two followed her.
Huang Jinghe's house was just next door, but Ling Jiang and she had to go downstairs.
Approaching the door, Ling Jiang asked, "Do you have much Isatis root at home? Can I exchange some supplies with you later? The temperature has been fluctuating wildly lately, and I'm worried my grandma can't handle it. If you don't have any, forget it. I won't force you."
"Sure, I have kids at home, so I always have these things on hand. I have a few packets of isatis root at home, and I'll get you a packet after I change my clothes."
"Okay, thank you."
…
Lan Jin returned home, locked the door first, then turned around and entered the space.
After drinking the spiritual spring water, her physical condition was very good. Even though she had been soaking in the rain for a whole day, she did not feel any discomfort at all. However, she had not looked at the children and the dog all day, so she would take a look at them first before saying anything.
As soon as she appeared in the space, Ranchoqiao, who was having fun not far away, ran over excitedly.
"Mom." For a little child, she missed Lan Jin very much after not seeing her for such a long time. However, after she hugged Lan Jin, she found that her mother was soaked all over.
Lan Qiaoqiao subconsciously took two steps back and asked, "Mom, it's wet."
"Yes, Mom went out with my brothers and sisters to find food today. Didn't I tell you this morning? But it was raining outside, so we got caught in the rain." Lan Jin explained to her.
"Have you found it?" Lan Qiaoqiao looked around for a while, because in the past, if Lan Jin found supplies, he would put them into the space first, but now she didn't see any supplies coming in. She looked at Lan Jin, a little confused.
Lan Jin smiled and said, "At Brother Gao's house, Mom will just come in to take a look at you, then change into dry clothes before going back to Brother Gao's house to distribute supplies. Mom will be out in a while, so why don't you stay here for now?"
