Lianyi directly put a pot of food into Yuan Chongming's hands, said a few words to the child Jiayao who ran out to greet her, and then returned to her house.
"Mingzi, stop looking and bring the food in!"
A joking female voice reached Yuan Chongming's ears.
"That's right, we're not at a loss. If we let those men pry open her door, the consequences would be disastrous. This little girl knows how to repay her kindness."
Another one The man also said.
The last person walked over directly, took the pot from Yuan Chongming's hand, placed it on the table in the living room, and invited everyone to come over for dinner.
Child Tan Jiayao praised very much:
“The food made by Sister Lianyi is delicious. I ate all the wontons she gave to me and my uncle before. ”
After speaking, he licked his lips.
"Then what are you waiting for? Let everyone have a taste."
Yuan Chongming shook his head helplessly. What else could he say, he could only join.
In less than half an hour, the pot of soup dumplings was divided up. Jiayao’s belly was round and he sighed comfortably. The four adults were half full after eating. This was the best in the past few days. Best meal ever.
Zhao Jia took on the job of washing the dishes. Originally it was her turn to cook today. Because Lianyi’s pot of soup dumplings freed her up, she took on the after-dinner work. The most indispensable thing now is When the water is out, just stretch out a basin and catch the water for washing the pot.
“I don’t know if the little beauty across the door has enough to eat. Why don’t you ask Mingzi?”
Sun Weifeng, who had taken the initiative to carry the pot before, said.
"Okay, don't bother others rashly and make them think we are going to take advantage of the situation!"
Li Qian (qian) stopped him directly.
Yuan Chongming made no comment since they started teasing him. After Zhao Jia finished washing the pot, he said:
“It has been raining for two months. I don’t know when it will start. Yes, the city’s power facilities have been destroyed, and we don’t know how long the gas will be available. The most important thing is food. We have to find a way to get some food, and we can’t just sit back and have nothing.”
“ Akiko, it’s us who are dragging you down this time. If the three of us hadn’t come here empty-handed, the food you prepared wouldn’t have been consumed so quickly.”
Li Qian said seriously.
"Brother Li, don't say this. You didn't come empty-handed. Those weapons and outdoor shallow water equipment can be used just in time, so that Jiayao and I will not be in dire straits at home.
If you don't come, how can I take Jiayao out to find supplies? I don't feel safe leaving him alone at home, and he doesn't feel safe if I go out alone. I don't have any companions in the team. If I really find something to eat, I'm afraid it won't be easy. I can’t get it back.”
Yuan Chong said truthfully.
“We are all comrades-in-arms and have a life-long friendship. If we hadn’t been trapped here while tracking the whereabouts of the big drug lord, we would never have met him.”
Zhao Jia said with a smile.
"In such a big disaster, I believe the country will definitely organize personnel to rescue. Before that, we have to hold on here."
Sun Weifeng said calmly.
"Yes, someone touched it yesterday. It must have been because they had no food, so they set their sights on the fifteenth floor. I won't talk about your family. Although they have children, plus the three of us, As an adult, these people will not take the initiative to provoke us. I guess they are going for the little girl opposite you. "
Zhao Jia is a girl and has a delicate mind, so she said it immediately. made his own guess.
"Well, Jiajia's analysis is correct."
This time Sun Weifeng also agreed with his partner's analysis.
"I guess the little girl also noticed it, so she gave us food.
It is not easy in the current disaster. We will take care of each other within our ability. But we will go there later When returning things, you should remind the little girl.”
Li Sai said to Yuan Chongming.
"I know, that little girl is quite smart. She said she has practiced it herself, and she helped me take care of Jiayao before, and she bought cold weapons for self-defense from me."
Yuan Chongming I still admire Ripple very much. Although he is alone, he does not put his own safety on others, nor does he take the initiative to seek shelter from him. Instead, he remains wary of the people around him.
"Then let's discuss where to find supplies tomorrow, and we should leave someone to look after the house and take care of Jiayao, otherwise those unscrupulous people will come and steal the house while we are away."
Sun Weifeng said immediately.
Then the four people gathered together and began to discuss the next day's actions.
When it was getting dark, Yuan Chongming knocked on Lianyi’s door.
"Classmate Lianyi, thank you for making the soup dumplings."
After saying that, he handed the pot to Lianyi.
“You’re welcome.”
Lianyi took the washed pot and saw that the other party had no intention of leaving, so he asked:
"Brother Yuan, is there anything else?"
"I just want to remind you. , the water level has been rising recently, and has reached the seventh floor. People downstairs have no place to live, and they will definitely move up. You should be more careful, and be more alert when sleeping at night. If you find something wrong, call me. "
After saying that, he handed Ripple a red panda children’s walkie-talkie.
“The effective communication distance of this walkie-talkie is one kilometer. We are close. If you find anything wrong, you can use the walkie-talkie to notify me. You don’t need to turn it on during the day. You can just knock on the door. Call me if you need it at night. Turn it on, give it to me when the battery is out, and I’ll charge it for you.”
Ripple smiled and took the cartoon walkie-talkie and said:
"Okay, thank you, Brother Yuan."
"Tomorrow we are going to go out to find some food and useful supplies, you."
Before Yuan Chongming finished speaking, Lianyi said:
"Brother Yuan, can you take me with you when you go out tomorrow? I am going to find some gas tanks, and I think the gas supply will be available sooner or later. Stop, it’s better to prepare something in advance.”
"This."
Yuan Chongming was a little hesitant, mainly because Lianyi was delicate and weak. He was afraid that if he was soft-hearted and took the person with him, it would drag everyone down. This would not be worth the gain. Besides, Everyone is not familiar with it.
"Brother Yuan, I'm offended!"
Lianyi then placed the pot on the shoe cabinet at the door, and then directly punched Yuan Chongming.
No matter how much you explain, it is better to let the other party experience it for yourself, so that you can more intuitively prove your strength.
Yuan Chongming was also a practitioner, and he reacted quickly. He tried to block Ripple's attack with one hand. He thought he would easily block it, and then used a sliding hand to grab his wrist to control Ripple, but he was slapped in the face the next second. .
Not only did he not block the punch, but after it was hit in the palm, he even took five or six steps back to regain his balance. His entire left hand was numb, and the palm that blocked the punch was already red.
"Click" the door on the opposite side was opened, and three people, one big and one small, ran out.
"Sister Lianyi, don't hit my uncle!"
Tan Jiayao was the first to stop in front of Yuan Chongming, stretched out his arm to block the front, and then was carried aside by Sun Weifeng, He asked with a smile that did not reach his eyes:
"Classmate Lianyi, what did Mingzi do wrong that you are going to fight?"
"You have misunderstood. Classmate Lianyi and I are discussing. She wants to go out with us to find supplies tomorrow." (End of Chapter)
