Chapter 14 Going Out Again
After hearing Lan Jin's words, Ren Siqiao glanced at the snacks in his hand without caring, and replied: "These are from mom's. Qiaoqiao is hungry, so take them and eat them."
"How do you know this is edible? What if it's not edible?"
Looking at Lan Jin's serious face, Ren Siqiao pushed the dog out directly and said, "Nana has smelled it, I will only eat what is edible."
"But Nana is a dog, and you didn't give Nana this snack."
Lan Jin took the snacks from Ren Siqiao's hand and asked, but when she said this, the child and the dog fell silent again. Lan Jin looked at the snacks in her hand, and took out her 40-meter-long ruler and beat the child.
Ren Siqiao burst into tears and promised that she would never steal food again, but Lan Jin did not let her go. She said, "It's not a question of whether you eat it or not, but a question of not giving it to the dog."
The snack Ren Siqiao was eating had chocolate on it, and how could a dog eat chocolate? When she explained the seriousness of the matter, Ren Siqiao immediately admitted his mistake, "Mom, I was wrong. I will never feed Nana anything else."
But this matter cannot be blamed entirely on Ren Siqiao. She thought the child didn't understand so she didn't tell her. Who knew that if she explained it to her carefully, she would understand.
"Qiao Qiao, Nana is your friend and also a family member. Mom is just worried that you might accidentally hurt her. Anyway, just remember that dogs are different from people. They can't eat everything. Next time Qiao Qiao wants to feed Nana, it's best to ask Mom, okay?"
Ren Siqiao nodded seriously, then after rolling his eyes, he asked, "Mom, Nana can't eat it, but Qiaoqiao can. Qiaoqiao can eat it herself and not give it to Nana."
She could eat, but why was she so excited? Lan Jin ruthlessly refused, "Today's snack quota has been exceeded. If you want to eat, you can talk about it tomorrow."
Ren Siqiao's face was full of disappointment, but when Lan Jin gave her a duck leg at dinner, she immediately put her previous emotions behind her. Lan Jin had been busy all day and had no energy at all. After coaxing the child to sleep, she fell asleep immediately.
Of course, she did not forget to feed Nana some spiritual spring water before going to bed, so as to prevent the dog from being killed again if she couldn't find a doctor. Even if the spiritual spring water cannot cure the disease, it can strengthen the body. There should be no difference between the human body and the dog's body.
The next day.
Lan Jin had been busy all day yesterday and had no energy to check the messages in the group. Now that she had rested enough, she was determined to catch up on what she didn't know yesterday.
Unexpectedly, the more she read the news in the group, the more shocked she became. All the people who suffered suffocation symptoms due to the toxic fog passed away yesterday. There are more than 500 people in their community group, and these 500 people also represent more than 500 households. Looking at the numbers in the group that keep increasing, there are both elderly and children among them in their community alone.
But it's not a good thing to keep the body of a dead person at home. Now people in the group are clamoring for the community to deal with the current situation.
But what can the community do?
"We can't just leave it like this. The bodies will start to stink in a few days. With so many people dead in this building, it's going to stink. We need to find someone to drag them out as soon as possible."
"Who wouldn't want to, the guy upstairs? But you clearly know how these people died, and you still let others risk their lives to help you drag the bodies. Aren't you being too selfish?"
"That's right. No one wants to sleep with a corpse, but these people died because they accidentally inhaled the poison mist. If you ask the community to come and remove the bodies for you, or ask them to send someone else to remove the bodies, aren't you just sending others to die in vain? You can't be too selfish. Your life is life, and so are other people's illnesses."
"But we can't just leave it like this. No one knows how long it will take for the poisonous fog to dissipate, and no one knows how long it will take for someone to come and deal with this matter. You're not the ones sleeping with the corpse, so it's easy for you to talk without any worries."
"Are you afraid? No, it's okay to be afraid, but after all, they are your family. What's there to be afraid of?"
"That's right, you might as well take this time to mourn your loved ones and enjoy these last moments with them."
"The final days of Goddess T."
"Speaking of which, my unscrupulous boss actually called me to come over to work because of this toxic fog."
"So, it's an unscrupulous boss. Note, I didn't type it wrong."
"Otherwise, why is he called an unscrupulous boss?"
"There are no cars out here. Ask your boss to pick you up. If he can come, you can get on. For the money, we can give it a try."
"Haha, yeah, for the sake of money, why can't we all give it a try? But this boss is really something."
"No, how did we get so far off topic? I remember we were asking for food at the beginning. Where are the people in the community? My family has nothing but water. If I don't eat now, I'm going to starve to death."
"If you ask me, just forget about it. It's not that the community doesn't want to take care of us, but they simply can't. If there's anything you need to do, just try to solve it yourselves."
"Isn't this unsolvable? I really have nothing to eat at home, nothing at all."
After a while, someone tagged the person who hadn't eaten and asked, "Do you have toilet paper? I can trade you some cookies."
"Yes, yes, I have one at home."
However, someone quickly replied, "Don't even think about it. I observed yesterday that someone left the doors and windows of our emergency passageway unlocked. The passageway is filled with poisonous fog, and the main door can't be opened. You can't trade food even if you want to. Don't take any risks. If you ask me, you should just drink more water at home."
"Fuck, God wants to kill me."
"You can't blame me, but my family is really short of toilet paper."
…
Topics like these have been going on from yesterday to today. Perhaps talking more can ease the inner tension. The messages in the group really never stopped for a moment, and the community staff also kept emphasizing in the group that everyone should not open the doors and windows. As for other things, they communicated what they could solve, and the community staff pretended to be dead if they couldn't solve them.
Today is the fourth day since the arrival of the poisonous fog. Since yesterday's operation was too smooth, it gave Lan Jin a lot of confidence, and today's itinerary was set to meet a certain CO.
A certain CO is not far from their area. Yesterday, a certain Mu was right in front of their community, and a certain Co is right opposite to a certain Mu, but there is a road in between, and there is no crosswalk between the two roads. She needs to walk to the door of a certain Ma on the left first, cross an overpass and then go around to a certain CO. Although the distance is not very far, it is really difficult to walk.
