Chapter 93 Acid Rain (13)
The little girl was still in shock at first, but when she listened carefully to the wailing sounds from the building, she immediately became frightened. She dropped the buns in her hand and threw herself into Lan Jin's arms, wailing loudly, "Oh, Mom, I'm so scared, so scared."
There were continuous screams outside. Lan Qiaoqiao heard the screams and no matter how Lan Jin tried to comfort her, she couldn't stop. After a while, she even brought Ling Jiang from next door over.
Lan Jin quickly put the breakfast on the table into the space. After opening the door, Ling Jiang asked before she could speak, "What's going on? Qiao Qiao has been crying for a while."
"I wanted to play in the rain earlier, but I didn't let him because it happened to be breakfast time. But I heard the screams and got scared."
It’s a blessing that Rancho Qiao didn’t go to play in the rain.
However, Ling Jiang's family was not so lucky. She did not play in the rain, but Grandma Ling wanted to use a bucket to collect rainwater to flush the toilet. Who knew that there was something in the rain that corroded the plastic bucket and caused it to leak in a short while. Now she was looking at the bucket with heartache, but no matter how much she felt sorry for the bucket, she heard the crying next door and asked Ling Jiang to come over quickly to see them, mother and daughter.
Seeing that they were fine, Ling Jiang was relieved. "At least they're fine. I'll go upstairs and ask."
However, there was no need for her to ask the two people upstairs. They were still lying in bed and had not gotten up at all, so naturally they could not participate in the "activity" of catching the rain.
However, after hearing Ling Jiang's words, the two of them half closed their sleepy eyes and took a look.
But rain can corrode buckets. For the two people who were still half asleep, their brains were completely baffled. "What on earth could be in this rain that could corrode a bucket?"
But as soon as Lao Gao finished speaking, Huang Jinghe, who was half asleep, suddenly remembered the apocalyptic literature he had read before, so this couldn't be acid rain.
He asked cautiously, "Acid rain? I remember that high concentrations of acid rain can corrode things, like skin and everything else. If the amount is high enough, it can even corrode walls, iron, and the like. Could this be acid rain? Is our building safe then? And if acid rain comes into contact with skin, it needs a lot of water to rinse. And the water's out right now... I wonder if you haven't touched this water since then."
Ling Jiang quickly shook his head. There was something obviously wrong with the rain. When Grandma Ling was about to touch it, Ling Jiang stopped her.
But when I think about how acid rain can corrode things, I’m afraid the signal outside will be affected. After all, such a thin line can’t last long...
Lan Jin took out her phone and took a look. Sure enough, the signal was gone. It looked like it was definitely acid rain. But the rain had just started, so there was no need to scare herself. She consoled herself, "Don't be afraid. You said there would be enough rain. Let's see how long this acid rain lasts."
But no matter how long the acid rain lasts, they are trapped in the building again. Moreover, the acid rain outside is not much stronger than the poisonous fog before. At least they can go out with equipment to block the poisonous fog. But when encountering this acid rain, the building is not solid, let alone the equipment to block the rain. It is better to stay at home.
Lao Gao couldn't help but sigh, "Why are there so many things going on every day?"
Lan Qiaoqiao in her arms was finally coaxed into submission by her, so naturally, no one stayed at Lan Jin's door for long. Just when everyone was about to go home, the couple in room 3204 started arguing again. First they started yelling and cursing, then they started smashing, smashing, and swearing. Then, Lan Qiaoqiao, who had just been coaxed into submission, was frightened and burst into tears again.
Ling Jiang was speechless. Just as he was about to kick the door, Lao Gao stopped him. "Why are you so hot-tempered? This isn't the first day these two have been arguing. Come on, Sister Lan, go back to your room and close the door. Qiao Qiao won't cry if she can't hear any noise."
"Okay, I'll close it first. You guys should go back quickly and be careful not to get caught in the rain."
As expected, once the door closed, Lan Qiaoqiao stopped crying after a while. She rubbed her red eyes and glanced at the empty breakfast on the coffee table. She remembered that she hadn't finished her meal, so she quickly asked, "Mom, breakfast?"
Lan Jin laughed angrily, "You've been crying like that and you still remember that you haven't finished your breakfast. You must have digested everything you just ate after crying for so long."
Lan Qiaoqiao shyly hid in Lan Jin's arms, but as a child, she came and went quickly. After Lan Jin took out breakfast again, Lan Qiaoqiao started eating as if nothing had happened.
Of course, the screams around them continued one after another, but the little ones gradually got used to it and were not as scared as before.
Moreover, Lan Qiaoqiao said to her seriously: "Mom, Qiaoqiao will definitely be obedient in the future."
"Mom didn't say you were disobedient. Didn't you come over when I called you just now? Being obedient is a good thing. You are very well behaved."
After being praised by Lan Jin, her little butt was raised to the sky again.
But the others were not as lucky as them. Losing the bucket was a small matter, but it was really uncomfortable when the acid rain came into contact with their skin.
It was heart-wrenching pain like this, but there was no way to treat it, not even enough water to wash the wound.
Looking at the wounds on their bodies that had been left repeatedly during this period of time, everyone was speechless and did not want to struggle, but the pain made it impossible for them to calm down.
It goes without saying that everyone's appearance is probably not looking good during this period. In order to avoid seeing things she doesn't want to see, Lan Jin decided not to go out for the time being, and Huang Jinghe was also notified.
As for Ling Jiang and Lao Gao, they also tacitly chose not to go out. Besides, they couldn't go out at all in this situation.
The rain was dripping outside. Perhaps it was because it was really corrosive. Even though the rain was only a little, it still reduced the number of mosquitoes outside by more than half.
This acid rain.
Speaking of Acid Rain Lanjin is now completely ruined.
There's no way. After all, where did the acid rain come from in the previous life? Besides, she died after the heavy rain period. There's not much difference between giving up earlier or later.
The night passed relatively peacefully, and when the day came again, there was hardly any trace of mosquitoes outside.
Lan Jin took a deep breath through the screen door. The air was no longer filled with the turbid smell of yesterday's dust and sand, but instead had the fresh scent of green leaves, which made people feel very comfortable.
Huang Jinghe had been observing the rain outside. He had to, because his house was on the top floor. If anything really happened, he would be the first to suffer. He hadn't slept all night last night. When he figured Lan Jin would be up this morning, he started chatting with her on the intercom. "Sister Lan, why do I feel like the rain outside has changed? It doesn't seem to be acid rain anymore."
"Don't try it, what if? It just looks like it. What if it's not an injury? There's no medicine to treat it. Besides, there will always be a bunch of idiots in our building who will try it first. Why are you in such a hurry?"
