In the next few days, Typhoon Luoshen met the oncoming Zhurong, and the two typhoons collided fiercely in the south of Guangdong City.
The two typhoons showed no weakness to each other. In addition to causing suffering to the affected citizens, many historical buildings were also damaged.
In the news report, Chen Yuanyuan also saw that the Ruins of St. Paul's, which the three of them had visited earlier when they were in Macao, had collapsed. Unexpectedly, the centuries-old archway could withstand the years and fires, but it could not withstand the violence. of hurricane.
Chen Yuanyuan spent the past few days exercising at home and cooking new dishes. Occasionally, Zhang Linlin and He Yuehua came over to exercise and play games together, and Chen Yuanyuan also visited their homes for meals from time to time.
One day, Zhang Linlin wanted to play mahjong, and when she was short of three, she contacted Chu Man, who lived on the tenth floor, to come up and join in the fun.
None of the four people like gambling, so they all use a punishment method to settle the settlement. The person who goes out will be drawn by the person who made the mistake several times, and the person who made the self-draw can even draw the other three at once.
After playing for about three or four times, Zhang Linlin was almost painted into a painted face.
"It's not fair! You three can play the Guangdong card, but I can only play the Guizhou card!" Zhang Linlin, who has a big red face, pockmarks and beard, looks like Ruhua from the ninth-grade Sesame Official.
"Look at Chu Man, he painted it just like he did when he was little." Chen Yuanyuan looked at a small beard drawn on the middle part of the human body and said while holding back a smile.
"Baga Yalu!" Chu Man pretended to shout a classic line.
"Look at me, Guan Yunchang, killing my little life in anger!" He Yuehua was also painted with thick eyebrows and beard. Fortunately, her poker skills are not bad, and she only has a hint of Guan Yu.
The four girls were fighting and arguing, as if the apocalyptic scene outside had nothing to do with them.
Chu Man's suppressed emotions for the past few days became much more cheerful during the fight. After the four of them took many ugly photos, they took off their funny makeup and sat on the floor in the living room.
"You should pay attention to the door recently. Last time in Room 602 of the group, there was a complaint that someone broke into the house in the middle of the night. The refrigerator in the house was emptied. There are also many thefts in other buildings, and some are so rampant that they commit robberies during the day." Chu Man said.
"Well, supplies have become scarce again recently. Last time the supermarket opened, many people didn't get fresh ingredients. Coupled with the typhoons in recent days, many people have started to think about it." Chen Yuanyuan also pays attention to the trends in the group, and occasionally solicits some supplies from the group. Pretending.
"With the storm outside now, the thief is most likely to be in our building. No matter how far away it is, it must be someone from the community." He Yuehua speculated.
"We're not afraid, two fists can't beat four hands, let alone five of us with ten hands!" Zhang Linlin patted her chest and said.
"If you're not afraid of stealing, you're afraid of robbery. If the wind keeps blowing, I'm afraid people who lack supplies will form gangs and commit robberies." Chen Yuanyuan thought of her last life in the apartment. The bad weather amplified people's desires, and robberies and murders began to occur in just one month. I don't know where this happened. What will happen to Fairview Gardens.
"This is too scary, call the police for help!" Zhang Linlin said.
"It's useless. Last time 602 was stolen, the police came and took a few photos to wait for news. Now that crimes have begun to sprout, the police are too busy." Chu Man sighed.
"We can only rely on ourselves to protect ourselves." He Yuehua lowered her gaze, wondering what she was thinking.
"There is only one man on the twelfth floor of you. When I was scanning the goods in the supermarket, most of them were residents of Jinxiu Garden and Wanli Haoting next door. You should also be careful of being stared at." Chu Man said worriedly.
"Ah, I have something for you, wait a minute." Chen Yuanyuan ran to the utility room, pretended to stay for a while, took out a set of security door locks in the space and gave it to Chu Man.
"This is what's left from previous renovations. You have two elderly people and you and a girl at home, so you have to pay attention to safety."
"Thank you, I just need this at home." Chu Man saw that Chen Yuanyuan's door had already installed several anti-theft buckles and chains, so she took them without politeness. She was also afraid when it came to life safety.
The four of them had finished setting up the mahjong table, and Chen Yuanyuan did not leave Chu Man to eat. After all, there was a shortage of supplies, and the rich supplies should not be exposed.
After Chu Man left, Chen Yuanyuan took out two sets of door alarms in the space and asked them to install them after they returned home. She also took out anti-wolf spray and two short knives in the space for them.
Chen Yuanyuan carefully reminded Zhang Linlin and He Yuehua that they must close the doors and windows tightly and turn on the alarm every night when they sleep.
Although you can't stop others from committing crimes, you can't let criminals target you. If you are in danger, you must put your own life first and don't be afraid of killing others.
The two of them agreed seriously, and even Zhang Linlin, who was usually laughing and joking, tightly grasped the handle of the knife. Although Zhang Linlin was usually very nervous, she was not a stupid person.
After the meeting, He Yuehua and Zhang Linlin also took supplies and went back to their respective homes for dinner. When Chen Yuanyuan was about to get some food from the space, there was a knock on the door.
"Chu Man? Did you miss something?" When Chen Yuanyuan saw Chu Man running up again after about twenty minutes, she thought she had left something behind.
"My mother said I can't take your anti-theft chain for free. I happened to braise some pork belly today, so I'll give you some to try." Chu Man handed the bowl with the braised pork to Chen Yuanyuan.
"Here... let me put it in a bowl first." Chen Yuanyuan looked at a large bowl of fragrant braised pork and wanted to refuse, but considering that there is also a lack of supplies in the current environment, it is not practical to refuse directly.
After Chen Yuanyuan took the bowl from Chu Man's hand, she went to the kitchen and picked up two pieces of braised pork, and then handed the remaining meat and the bowl back to Chu Man.
"Why are you..." Chu Man originally wanted Chen Yuanyuan to take all the meat, but he didn't expect there was so much left.
"Originally, the extra food was not worth much. Now that supplies are scarce, I can't eat much by myself. You can take it home and eat more with Aunt Yan." Chen Yuanyuan pushed the bowl back to Chu Man.
Chu Man is not as mellow as when they first met. Although he is not sallow and thin, it is not difficult for Chen Yuanyuan to guess that Yu Yanqun's family must be short of food.
"Yuanyuan, thank you so much!" Chu Man was about to bow to express his thanks, but was supported by Chen Yuanyuan.
"Neighbors help each other, and Aunt Yan also helped us solve a lot of troubles after she moved here," Chen Yuanyuan said.
"We are lucky to meet you!" Chu Man said gratefully.
"You should also pay more attention to your safety. Don't cook fragrant meat dishes next time. You may be targeted by bad guys if you are not careful." Chen Yuanyuan saw that Chu Man was careless and reminded her.
It's okay now that the storm is blowing hard, and the scent will be blown away in a short time. In other weather conditions in the future, when hungry people smell the smell of meat, they will have evil thoughts in their minds and follow the smell to the door. It will be difficult to get rid of it when the time comes.
"Okay, I'll go down and remind my mother now." Chu Man and Chen Yuanyuan said goodbye and hurried back to their home on the tenth floor.
