Chapter 114: To Say or Not to Say (13)
Of course Lan Jin understood this logic. This little girl would not only cling to her, but once she accepted the fall, she might even ask the men in the building to avenge her. Given her current state, the target of her revenge could only be Lan Jin.
Hadn't she seen enough of this kind of thing in her previous life? So she definitely wouldn't let herself get into this situation.
In order to prevent future troubles and reduce trouble, the best solution at present is to nip it in the bud and get rid of the person.
Lan Jin looked at Ling Jiang, feeling that she and Lao Gao's acceptance was a bit too high. Curiously, she asked, "You guys must have had a rough time before. And what you told us about the situation in the building before must have been an abridged version, otherwise your attitude would be very strange."
Just now, even Huang Jinghe was a little shocked by her behavior, but these two people were completely indifferent. Their expressions seemed as if she should not have talked so much nonsense with the girl, but should have just thrown the girl down.
Finally, after she finished throwing them away, these two people still had a teachable feeling...
Well, it's very complicated.
Ling Jiang paused and replied, "You've noticed, but there's nothing I can do about it. I've said it before, the people in your building are much more obedient than those in other buildings."
Lan Jin gasped, "This is still peaceful, so can you call your life before this a good life?"
"Anyway, this isn't a life for human beings. Otherwise, not only the two of us, but also my grandma wouldn't be able to accept it. It took her a long time to adjust her mindset before she could accept it so calmly."
Speaking of it, I feel really emotional.
…
But today's story doesn't end here.
Although no one mentioned it specifically, the story of the little girl soon spread throughout the building. Regardless of who among the four of them did it, their notoriety was raised to a new level.
But that's the way it is, people who are looking for trouble are still looking for trouble.
This is exactly what Lao Gao said.
That’s right, a week has passed, and it’s time to return the kayak that has drifted away with the current.
However, when Lao Gao went to look for Su Han, he did not see Su Han in the entire building.
Originally, Lao Gao thought that this person might have hidden himself, but after he searched the entire building again, he really didn't see any trace of Su Han. This was a problem. Where was he?
Afterwards, he used some tricks and finally heard from others that Su Han had been...
The people had been thrown into the flood and no one knew where they had drifted to.
Come to think of it, the way people solve problems nowadays is really similar.
But he couldn't find the source of the loss of the kayak. Frustrated, Lao Gao had a big fury in the corridor and then went home.
But, being angry is just being angry, so what can it do? No one will take it seriously if it doesn't hurt.
After all, it was Lao Gao himself who said that whoever borrowed it should return it. The kayak was not borrowed by them, so even if they wanted to settle the bill, they would not be found.
…
The kayak was gone, which was something Lao Gao had anticipated long ago, but for them, finding supplies was equally urgent.
Looking at the water level outside that has risen to the 12th floor——
Judging from their kayaks, Lao Gao really doesn't recommend going out to look for supplies.
And there is another very important thing. Looking at the rain outside, Lao Gao really felt that something was wrong.
Then he called the other three people to his house for a small meeting.
Lao Gao said, "To be honest, the supplies at home can only last for a month at most, but I don't recommend going out to look for supplies. And looking at the situation outside... I've never heard of a place where it rained so heavily for a month straight. The water has already reached the 12th floor.
If it rains for another month or two, I'm afraid the whole building will be flooded. We are located in a high-lying area, and those in lower-lying areas... I'm afraid they would have been submerged long ago."
Ling Jiang was also very anxious about this. "My family still had some food, but the amount was really small, and it was all stored by my grandmother. There are only two of us in my family, so it can only last for a month at most. You don't even need to tell me. I was also very anxious when I saw the rain outside.
But if you want me to go out, to be honest, I don't dare. Food is important, but life is more important. At this depth, going out means death."
Don't think that there is still plenty of food just because they say there is enough food at home to last for a month. In fact, that is not the case. As early as the poisonous fog period, most people's meals were changed from three meals a day to two meals a day. When eating two meals, everyone can move freely. If there is any problem, the two meals will be reduced to one meal.
So the food she mentioned for a month was actually not that much, and even if she saved money and lived on her last breath, she could only get by for a month.
However, Lan Jin and Huang Jinghe were an exception. When talking about supplies, they looked at each other tacitly. They might not have other things, but they did have food at home, not to mention the supplies Lan Jin had prepared in the space in advance.
But this brings up another question: to say it or not to say it.
After hesitating for a while, the two of them finally couldn't bear to see their allies starve to death, so Lan Jin took the lead and said, "If it's just about food, we don't need to rush for now."
After hearing this, the two of them were stunned, and then they thought of something, "Have you stockpiled food at home?"
Lan Jin nodded to Huang Jinghe, and Huang Jinghe said, "My parents told us during the insect plague that the higher-ups predicted a heavy rain was coming, so they told me to stock up on food at home.
The supply and marketing cooperative is managed by someone higher up, and my parents are military personnel, so they gave us some flexibility. When cash became available, Sister Lan and I took out all the cash and used it to buy food and water. So if that's all you need, you don't have to worry for now."
Lan Jin quickly said, "But you know, when we were able to withdraw money from the bank, it had a limit. Even though prices haven't risen, there's only so much you can buy. But if we just want to get through the rainy season, the four of us should be able to hold out for a few months."
Lan Jin wasn't lying. The bank limit was a fact, and so was the purchase limit on supplies. Even if they had connections and the cash was there, being able to buy things was one thing, but how much they could buy was another.
Although they couldn't bear to see their allies starve to death, they couldn't be too realistic. Supplies could be shared, but they certainly couldn't share everything. They had to put their own lives and safety first in everything.
