Chapter 38:

The anger in Jian Chu's heart was vented fiercely, and the breath of the whole person was smooth. Sure enough, if you are angry, you can't hold it in. If you hurt others and yourself, you must choose the former.

The old man of the Zhang family was so angry that he was so bullied by a stinky boy who didn't even have full hair. He didn't care about Jian Chu's harsh words before, he said fiercely that he would call the police, and pointed at Xu Ming, Qin Huai and the others and said: "You've all seen this bastard, you can't sleep at night with this kind of person living here! I want to call the police, and you need to testify to me. He was the one who started it!"

Xu Ming was already very tired, tired and hot. Seeing that they stopped fighting, he didn't bother to join in. The two shouts just now cost a lot of saliva, so he turned around and walked towards his home with a bucket in his hand.

Seeing this, the old man of the Zhang family stared angrily. At this time, Mu Nan was holding Jian Chu's bucket: "Here."

Jian Chu went over to pick up the bucket and thanked him. The Zhang family didn't expect that they were all in the same group on their floor!

Grandma Zhang seemed to recognize Mu Nan, and looked at him with a look of hatred: "Nan Nan? Are you Nan Nan? Oh, why are you hanging out with this kind of person!"

Qin Huai asked Mu Nan to enter the house directly, but Grandma Zhang ran over and seemed to want to grab Mu Nan and talk about it, but was stopped by Qin Huai: "Sorry, we don't seem to know each other well."

Grandma Zhang frowned and looked at Qin Huai, with a bit of disgust in her eyes: "You are a kid from the Qin family, right? You have grown so big all of a sudden, I am your Grandma Zhang."

Qin Huai seemed to smile, and said bluntly: "I'm sorry, Nan Nan's grandma and I are living well in heaven." After speaking, he closed the iron door with a bang.

I probably didn't expect them to have such an attitude. This made the two old people of the Zhang family very angry. They couldn't even understand why they seemed to be targeted by several residents on this floor at the same time. They just moved When I came back, I didn't do anything, it was so inexplicable!

After returning to the room, Jian Chu rubbed the corners of his mouth. Yu Zibai frowned and stepped forward to help him check, but he couldn't help but said, "You're too impulsive."

Jian Chu pushed his hand away: "I have a natural temper, and I can't suppress it."

Yu Zibai sighed: "The current world is very chaotic, you don't know how others will retaliate against you."

Jian Chu looked at him: "Afraid of being retaliated, do you just listen to others' scolding?"

Yu Zibai: "I just don't want anything to happen to you. In this situation, safety is more important than anything else."

Jian Chu remained silent, and Yu Zibo knew that he had such a temper, so he sighed and went into the kitchen with a bucket. Jian Chu walked to the bathroom. He was quite experienced in fighting and knew how to protect himself, but he was still hit on the face. In a short while, the corners of his mouth were turning blue. He had won the fight. At this moment, I feel inexplicably uncomfortable.

I really didn't expect that today's outing would end with a fight. The main reason is that the fighters were beyond his expectation. He thought that Jian Chu was just like him. At the beginning, Jian Chu had a bad complexion, looking sickly and weaker than him, why this life is like a different person, Mu Nan knew that this was a man who just acted decisively. He is a seasoned fighter, and he doesn't match Jian Chu's frail appearance at all.

Seeing Qin Huai's unsurprised appearance, Mu Nan asked, "Brother, did you realize that Jian Chu is quite capable of fighting?"

Qin Huai shook his head: "That's not true, what's the matter?"

Mu Nan: "You don't look surprised at all, wow, is he a King Kong little white rabbit? Have you seen that, the three men in the Zhang family can't beat Jian Chu."

Qin Huai said with a smile: "Looking at Jian Chu's way of fighting, they are all wild ways, but you can ask him for advice and learn some insidious tricks to defend yourself." He has learned Sanda for many years and has formed a system, but He has great strength and quick reaction, so if he encounters some bad guys, he can solve them with his own skills.

But Mu Nan is different, he has just started to practice, one is that he has not yet formed muscle memory, he cannot do an instinctive reaction to fight back, and the other is that his strength is weak, if he really faces some reckless people, he can only take a break. On the other hand, Jian Chu knows how to use her strengths. Although those experiences seem to be accumulated from fighting with others, they are very suitable for Mu Nan.

Mu Nan said with emotion: "I didn't expect that there would be a day when I was wrong."

Qin Huai said: "He is indeed somewhat unexpected."

Mu Nan waved his hand: "It's not this one who was wrong, it was him and Yu Zibai, I always thought of the two of them, Yu Zibai was the protector, and Jian Chu was the one who was protected, now looking at it this way, I'm afraid they will be overthrown from top to bottom. "

Qin Huai didn't understand: "What's up and down?"

Mu Nan chuckled: "Don't you know they are a couple? You didn't see it? I saw it!"

He is an online cartoonist. He has never eaten pork or seen pigs running. For a while, Tanmei novels were very popular, and some people invited him to serialize comics, such as romance and lily. Although they seem to be a little different in this life, the atmosphere between the two of them is definitely not an ordinary friend relationship just because of their fate in the previous life.

Qin Huai's eyes instantly became a little unclear: "You understand very well?"

Mu Nan didn't notice the change in Qin Huai's eyes, and shared it with him: "This can be regarded as the normal culture in our circle, brother, you don't still think feudally that the combination of yin and yang is the kingly way?"

Qin Huai: "That's not true. No matter what others do, they won't disturb my life, but how did you find out?"

Mu Nan can't say that he saw it from their last life, and can only say: "The atmosphere between them is very intimate, this kind of intimacy is beyond the level of ordinary roommates."

Qin Huai took off his shirt, took the cold drink that Mu Nan handed over, held it in his hand but didn't drink it, but looked at Mu Nan and asked, "Then don't you think we are closer than them?"

Mu Nan looked like you were talking nonsense: "How many years have we known each other, how many years have they known each other, can it be the same, we have napped together, ate a pot of rice, called brother for so long, if not After all these years you have been away, we can still get closer!"

Qin Huai smiled helplessly, seeing that he was going to turn on the small electric fan, he urged: "Go take a shower first, and you'll be cool after a shower."

Mu Nan had no choice but to get up from the bed, glance at Qin Huai's undisguised six-pack abs, and take a look at his clothes. Because of running and practicing Sanda every day, he now has abs, but he has to work hard to stretch them Only when it's tight can you see a little shape, unlike Qin Huai, it's almost like growing on the body, it's always there, so I couldn't help leaving envious eyes, sighed softly and walked to the bathroom.

Qin Huai, who was inexplicably hot when Mu Nan glanced at him, turned on the small fan by himself, drinking a cold drink and trying to cool down.

After taking a shower and blowing on the fan for a while, Mu Nan felt cool down. Seeing that Qin Huai had sprinkled water on the inside and outside of the vegetable pot, he asked, "Can our chickens survive the high temperature? If If you can’t, kill it and do it, or you won’t be able to eat it if it’s too hot.”

Qin Huai: "For now, it's okay."

The air conditioner over there is not very good, it is a bit old, so it is only turned on every night, and the chickens are released every night for activities, and they are placed in their kitchen during the day, because the air conditioner that Mu Nan bought can completely withstand the current situation. The temperature is high, so even if it is open during the day, a door is opened in the kitchen to let the air-conditioning air in, a piece of ice is placed, a few chickens are kept in cages, and a urine mat is laid on the floor, so there is no need to wash the floor, etc. The peeing mat is very dirty, and I can replace it with a new one to save water. The chickens seem to be in good spirits, and I feel that I can continue to raise them.

It is estimated that it is very hot now, and the chickens do not know why they refuse to cuddle. After a few eggs were necrotic, Qin Huai trapped the rooster alone. Although the eggs were also less afterward, several hens could at least pick up the eggs every day. to an egg or two. But it’s also good not to nest now, otherwise the hatched chicks may have difficulty surviving.

Mu Nan let out a sigh, Qin Huai said it was okay, so let's continue to raise chickens. Anyway, when he first started raising chickens, he didn't have any hope of raising chickens. It's not bad to eat.

Seeing that Qin Huai was busy with his internal and external affairs and was about to take a bath, Mu Nan asked, "What are you eating today? Do you want to see the menu?"

Qin Huai laughed: "You also made the menu?"

Mu Nan: "Idle is idle, I haven't drawn for a long time, I can't help but want to draw."

Two days ago, Qin Huai saw Mu Nan writing and drawing with his drawing book in his arms, but he didn't go over to look at it. Although they don't have much privacy when they live like this now, sometimes they have a private space. I can still give it away, but I didn't expect Mu Nan to be drawing a menu: "Let me see."

Mu Nan hurriedly handed him the menu, Qin Huai took it and looked through it, the drawing is not bad, cartoon style, several dishes on one page, and coloring, it is very pleasing to the eye and whets the appetite: "Snail powder , fried eel noodles, spicy tofu, spicy shredded chicken, boiled fish slices, Kung Pao chicken." Next to each dish is a cute chili, one is mildly spicy, five are very spicy, Qin Huai smiled Said: "Are you drawing all the dishes stored in your space?"

Mu Nan took his own recipe book: "Not yet, let's draw one-fifth of it, so much, how can I draw it all so quickly, just take your time, when this book is finished, it will be almost done Brother, what are you going to eat next?"

Qin Huai said: "I'm going to cook a pot of rice. I haven't eaten raw rice for several days. Take out a plate of spicy tofu, a steamed sea bass, and stir-fried cabbage. You can see what else you want to eat. Let me first Go wash the rice, cook the rice, and then take a bath."

Qin Huai took a quick shower, and came out a few minutes later with the smell of toilet water. Mu Nan let him cool down for a while, and then he heard the rice cooker beeping in the kitchen, and then took out the ready-made dishes from the space, and He took an extra plate of braised pork. Although the weather was very hot and made people lose their appetite, Mu Nan suddenly wanted to eat braised pork.

A mouthful of braised pork, fat and thin, full of gravy with rice, one bite feels that life has been sublimated.

Qin Huai looked at him and smiled: "You didn't like this when you were young."

Mu Nan: "That's when I was a child and didn't understand the delicacy of the world."

Thinking of what happened just now, Mu Nan was a little worried: "Brother, will the Zhang family call the police?"

Qin Huai said: "No, although the old man of the Zhang family will definitely not be able to swallow this breath, his family will stop him." The grandson who was finally begged has grown to such a big age, what is the baby like, unless he Jian Chu caught him and never let him out, otherwise he would call the police, and this would really be a deadlock. So Zhang Zicong's grandma and mother would not let his grandpa call the police.

Mu Nan: "That's good, otherwise this matter is really confusing, it's a pity for that bucket of water." The bucket of water that was kicked over by Jian Chu has cooled the corridor, which is a pity.

Mu Nan swiped his phone and let out a snort: "Brother, look, when we were picking up the things just now, that man fought with Brother Bing."

Qin Huai took a look: "What's wrong?"

Mu Nan said: "The group is talking about him, someone smelled a strange smell at the door of the house, it was the smell of a corpse, and told the community, and he was temporarily detained because he did something with the person who distributed the supplies , Can’t come back, the community asked someone to open the door, and then saw one of the rooms in his house, the body was so hot that it belonged to his father, it seemed that he went out to collect supplies last time, and he died not long after he came back. He probably died from the heat. That man didn't let his father be dragged away, so he just wanted to stay for two days and take his father's ID card to pick up his things again. A bottle of water and a few bags of noodles."

If this incident had happened after the earthquake, it probably wouldn’t have caused such a big reaction from the masses. After all, at that time, for a little food, anything was really possible, but it’s not yet that time, and the country is still distributing supplies And water, so this man's behavior is really chilling.

Some people even asked in the group whether this kind of behavior constituted a legal crime and whether it could be arrested. Of course, there is no way to get caught. It depends on what kind of punishment will be received for this kind of proxy behavior. But in the end, I heard that the man was detained for 15 days. Of course, these 15 days were not the kind of being locked up in a detention center to eat, but he was taken to a construction site to move bricks, and those construction sites are the ones that the government plans to build. summer base.

After that time, they didn't meet people from the Zhang family for a period of time, and they probably avoided them on purpose.

When receiving supplies again, Xu Ming was also laid off: "Now pets have become a meal for many people, and even a few wild dogs can't be seen on the road, and now a catty of rice can't wait for hundreds of dollars. , who still has the money to go to see a doctor for pets, and many medicines can't stand the high temperature, so the clinic can't continue to open, so it's closed for now, let's talk about what happens later."

Xu Ming said, looking at Jian Chu, Qin Huai and the others: "There are still some medicines in stock at the clinic, do you want to get some? Anyway, it doesn't cost money, and the power will be cut off when the clinic is closed, and those medicines will probably be useless later. .”

Jianchu had never kept pets before, so she didn't know much about it, so she asked curiously, "What kind of medicine? The medicine used for pets can also be used by people?"

Xu Ming: "Of course not all of them are available, but some are actually interoperable, such as some anti-inflammatory products, insect repellent spray shared by pets, oh yes, and cat and dog food, do you want to move some back? When there is no food left, these are still edible, but they have no taste and are not very tasty."

Of course Xu Ming was half joking when he said this, of course he could eat it, but he couldn't have imagined that there would be a shortage of food in the future to the extent that he would need to eat cat food and dog food.

Mu Nan asked, "Is there a pee mat?"

Xu Ming nodded: "Yes, but what do you want a pee mat for?"

Mu Nan: "I raised a few chickens, and I used a urinal to catch the chicken droppings so as not to clean it up with water." He also had some urinals in his space, but he didn't expect this thing to be of any use to them before. It’s not too big, and it can’t be used as a bed sheet. It can’t be used as a mat or a cover. It’s not possible to pee on the pee mat and then roll it up and throw it away. Anyway, I also prepared cat litter. The gift from the manufacturer, I didn't expect it to be just right for chickens.

Xu Ming and the others know that their family has chickens. In the past, the big roosters would crow every morning, and sometimes they could hear the crowing while waiting for the elevator. It was just that they didn’t expect to raise chickens with a urine pad, but now there is such a shortage of water. Under the circumstances, in order to maintain the sanitation of the environment, it is quite feasible.

Xu Ming said: "Then we can go and have a look after we get the things later, and move home as soon as possible if we need anything, the electricity in the clinic was just cut off yesterday, it should be fine today, but in two days, there is a fear of It's hot and rotten."

If there are things that don’t cost money, naturally they don’t want them for nothing, so they decided to go together later to see what’s worth taking.

Xu Ming walked along the queue while giving them popular science pet supplies. When they got to them, they realized that they had no choice but water and instant noodles, and there was no more rice. , and a flyer.

Mu Nan remembered this when he saw the leaflet. The government directly expropriated large shopping malls in various places and changed the layout of the entire shopping mall. After solar energy is installed, they will open one by one. At that time, the entire shopping mall will provide 24-hour cooling, and it will be provided free of charge to people with special circumstances, such as some elderly people without houses, elderly people who have lost their only child, and people with particularly difficult families.

For example, on the roof of Mu Nan's building, there was an old man with abnormal mind. During the epidemic, he was taken away because of a group buying dispute, but he was released later, but the temperature was too high not long after he came back. The building is air-conditioned, and there is not even a place to use electricity. The high temperature will kill you every minute.

Later, people in the community placed the single old man in the community service center. There are now several widowed and lonely old people there. If the government's cooling resettlement site is opened, these people will be the first to be sent in.

A shopping mall is so big, and the country’s investment in reconstruction and solar energy is not small. Naturally, there are ways to recover some costs. After all, there are many families who dare not turn on the air conditioner during the day, and the air conditioner at home is breaking through the high temperature of 50 degrees. In the end, it can’t be moved at all, so if there is such a cooling point, it will solve the problem of many people using air-conditioning during the day, and the cooling point will be charged according to the head of time.

Qin Huai carefully looked at the leaflet, the fee can be paid directly, and the existing materials can be exchanged for the usage time of the cold spot at the current market price. But the government's undisguised behavior of recycling materials is enough to show that the situation in the future will really get worse.

But at present, this is the best way, because many people hoarded goods crazily in the early stage, but there is no way to preserve those hoarded things with personal strength. In such a hot day, even some preservatives can be stored for a long time. I am afraid that all the things I have are almost unbearable. Instead of letting the masses hoard them at home and waste them, it is better to recover some of them in this form and let the state keep them.

Mu Nan heard someone looking at the leaflet and saying:

"Three hundred yuan can be used to stay in the cold for a day. This summer vacation cost is not cheaper than food."

"Compared to life and money, life is naturally more important. The temperature is really unbearable during the day."

"At this time, the state still needs to collect money. This is not forcing the common people to their death!"

"Three hundred yuan, my family has no money, so let's continue to suffer at home. If you die, you will be relieved."

After Yu Zibai and the others finished receiving the supplies, Qin Huai and the others walked back together. Jian Chu asked Mu Nan, "Will you go?"

Mu Nan shook his head: "Probably not, my air conditioner was just replaced this year, and the place where it was installed was originally on the patio to avoid the direct sunlight, and I also set up a shelter. It seems that it can still withstand it now." Antibody."

Jian Chu said: "Fortunately, I saw that the situation was not right this year, and I replaced it with a large-capacity air conditioner early. If the cooling point is opened, those who are not at home during the day will not need electricity. It should not be so by then. Let’s cut off the power periodically.”

Mu Nan took the flyer and fanned the wind: "Who knows, hope will continue."

Seeing that Jian Chu was walking side by side with him, and obviously looking for a topic with him on purpose, Mu Nan gave him a rare and sensitive look, and asked in a low voice, "Did you quarrel with Yu Zibai?"

Jian Chu looked at Mu Nan in astonishment, "Why do you ask that?" He didn't make it obvious either.

Mu Nan smiled: "It feels like that." Although I used to chat with him when we were getting supplies and fetching water together, this apparent reluctance to walk with Yu Zibai was indeed a bit too obvious up.

Jian Chu said: "No, it's just that there are some things that need to be thought about."

Mu Nan said: "Sometimes it's not good to think too much about some things. Who knows if there will be a tomorrow in the current life. It's so tiring to waste time on entanglement and thinking. It's better to live one day at a time."

Jian Chu heard the words and said with a smile: "That makes sense."

Thinking of what Qin Huai said last time, Mu Nan turned to Jian Chu and said, "My brother said that you are very good at fighting, so teach me two tricks when you have free time. I'll exchange the stewed chicken wings my brother made for you."

Jian Chu felt a little embarrassed: "What's so powerful, it's just a vain trick, and you can only deal with that kind of stubborn old man. If you change to someone who is a little bit capable, you will only get beaten. But if you want to learn, I will I can teach you, you don’t need braised chicken wings, it’s so expensive now, you can keep it for yourself, but I think your brother seems to have learned some kung fu, why don’t you learn from your brother?”

Whether a person is a showman or has real ability, sometimes it can be seen from his temperament, and with Qin Huai's physique, it looks like he has been trained.

Mu Nan said: "My brother also teaches, but my brother said that your fighting style is more suitable for me, let me learn more skills so that I won't suffer in the future."

This is true, Jian Chu thinks that if it becomes more and more difficult in the future, it is good to learn more skills, at least when being bullied, it is not powerless to fight back.

Speaking of this, Jian Chu glanced at Yu Zibai in front of him, and smiled: "Speaking of which, he taught me some moves."

This time Mu Nan was even more stunned: "Huh? He can also kung fu?"

Jian Chu nodded: "I have practiced Taekwondo."

Mu Nan suddenly felt that maybe even Xu Ming was a hidden master. Could it be that he was the only one fighting the five scum on their floor? But after being surprised, a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in his mind. Although he didn't know whether he guessed the reason for their quarrel correctly, if it happened to him, he felt that he would be very angry or sad too.

That day when Jianchu was fighting with members of the Zhang family, Yu Zibai only stood aside to fight, but didn't help the fight. Although Yu Zibai is right intellectually, human beings are essentially emotional animals.
