The fourth day of heavy rain.
The call came unexpectedly, and there were suddenly more messages in the group.
After reading the messages in the group, Shen Qing learned that one of the three households at the foot of the mountain died when they evacuated.
Maybe people really panic when someone actually dies around them.
A group of people, Aite Fengxin, wanted to ask for an explanation, but unfortunately they didn't get a reply.
At this moment, Shen Qing's phone rang.
Tian Tian cried anxiously on the other side of the phone, "Shen Qing, are you still in S City now? Can you let me take refuge?"
Shen Qing said calmly: "I have returned to my hometown in the countryside, so I can't help you."
Tian Tian was extremely anxious, "Shen Qing... can you think of a way to help me? My house is on a low floor and cannot be accommodated... I haven't eaten for two days."
Shen Qing sighed. She had already reminded Tian Tiantun to collect food before, and there was nothing she could do if she didn't listen.
"I'm sorry, my phone is about to run out of battery, I won't say anything yet..."
Before he finished speaking, the other person said quickly: "Shen Qing! Don't hang up!"
Tian Tian, who was already soft and soft, sounded even more pitiful at this moment, "Shen Qing, you are the last person I can contact, please... As long as you can come to save me, I will do anything in my life." willing!"
"Shen Qing, you reminded me to stock up before... You must know what it is? I know you must have a way. Don't forget, I also said a good word for you in front of Manager Wang..."
Shen Qing took a deep breath, hung up her distress call, and then blacklisted Tian Tian's WeChat account and phone number.
She and Tian Tian are colleagues. Although they are usually toilet partners, they don't actually communicate much.
How could you ask yourself to risk your life to save her?
After hanging up the phone and returning to WeChat, she saw many people in the group including Aite and his family.
I scrolled through the chat history to understand the reason.
It turned out that Wang Dagui, who sold steel products, wanted to take refuge in the Shen family, and he also pulled several other families to seek help from the Shen family.
AAA Steel Brother Wang: "Old Shen, there are not many people in this small three-story western-style building in Guoyuan Town. You have so many empty rooms, so please take us in!"
Sister-in-law Wang: "Old Shen, our family is not living here for free. I will give you one hundred yuan a day. Do you think this is okay?"
Shen Jie looked at the messages that kept popping up on WeChat without replying.
Shen Qing knew that his father had grown up in this place and he must not have the heart to reject a fellow villager who had lived with him for half his life.
She took the initiative to assume the role of the bad guy and replied: "Our room is already full, you should ask others."
The news in the group became silent, and Shen Qing thought that their family had given up.
But after a while, I heard a knock on the door downstairs.
The man was quite powerful, and the sound of knocking on the iron gate echoed in the yard.
"Who is it..." Tao Ying was about to go downstairs to check, but Shen Qing held her back.
She reminded Shen Jie to turn on the surveillance and see who was coming before talking.
Only then did Shen Jie remember the surveillance matter.
"Aren't these Wang Dagui and his wife?" Shen Jie looked at the two impatient people in the surveillance camera, then turned to his family and asked, "What should we do now? Otherwise, why don't we ask them what's wrong first?"
Shen Zhian said angrily: "I think it must be to take advantage of that. Dad, let's not ask for trouble."
Shen Qing also agreed with him.
It can be seen from Wang Dagui's speeches in the group these days that this person is not easy to get along with.
If we really let people in, we don't know how much trouble it will cause.
They left Wang Dagui and his wife alone for a while.
The Shen family's WeChat message kept popping up with friends adding information, and the knocking on the door did not stop.
The knocking on the door became louder and louder, as if a hole was being smashed through the door.
Fortunately, Shen Jie replaced the door with the strongest security door early.
Seeing that no one from the Shen family passed the friend application, Wang Dagui and his wife started a new round of bombardment in the group.
Brother Wang of AAA Building Materials: "Shen Jie! You guys are so unethical. We are all from the same hometown. Why do you have to be so smart in your work? There are people in your house but you refuse to open the door. What on earth do you mean?"
Shen Jie was also a little angry and refused directly: "We have already said that there are no empty rooms in our house, is it possible that we still have to make room for you? You don't have to knock on the door anymore, we won't agree."
After saying that, he set WeChat to do not disturb and threw his phone aside.
Wang Dagui, who was under surveillance, was so angry that he kicked two doors in anger.
After waiting for a while and seeing that no one was paying attention, I moved on to the next house.
The seventh day of heavy rain.
Shen Qing learned from the news that the water in the city has now reached the traffic lights.
The Internet is flooded with calls for help.
But who can’t protect themselves now? Where is the ability to save people?
Guoyuan Village has been without water for seven days. Even those who have food at home cannot cook. Many people can only go out to buy supplies.
The two small supermarkets in Murakami are still open, but they have taken advantage of the heavy rain and the prices have increased a lot.
There were a lot of scoldings in the group, but not a few people bought it.
"Sister, how about we go out and buy some water? If you don't go out, the neighbors will inevitably become suspicious."
Shen Qing thought about it and thought that Shen Zhian was thoughtful.
"Sister, you wait at home, I can go out alone."
After lunch, Shen Zhian put on his raincoat and got ready to go out.
When she walked to the door, Shen Qing was a little worried. She took out a flashlight-sized electric baton from the space and handed it to Shen Zhian's hand.
"Sister, this supermarket is only a few hundred meters away from our home. We don't need this thing, right?"
Shen Qing had a serious look on his face, "You must not have the intention to harm others, and you must have the intention to defend yourself against others. Only when you put this self-defense thing away can I rest assured."
Although the social order has not collapsed yet, the evil of human nature is everywhere. We are not afraid of ten thousand, but only afraid of the worst.
She had already lost a loved one once, and she could never do it again.
Seeing how serious she was, Shen Zhian stopped treating her casually and put the electric baton into his pants pocket.
The two supermarkets were not far from Shen's house, so Shen Zhian chose the nearest one.
The further you go towards the supermarket, the more people there are.
The entrance to the supermarket was even more crowded with people.
Many people squeezed in with baskets on their backs. Those who couldn't get in couldn't get it, and those who got it couldn't get out. The scene was chaotic.
Shen Zhian waited for a long time before squeezing into the supermarket, only to find that the supermarket shelves were almost empty.
There is no box of pure water left.
"Boss, is the water still in stock?" Shen Zhian tried his best to raise his head and asked the boss who was pushed to the door by the crowd.
The boss was too busy collecting money and yelled without raising his head: "If it's on the shelf, it's there. If it's not, it's gone. I have no inventory here."
Even if there is inventory, he will not sell it.
Who knows when this damn rain will stop? If he wants to make money, he must reserve good supplies for his family.
Shen Zhian frowned, he couldn't go back empty-handed...
He looked around and saw that there was nothing to eat or drink, except for some daily groceries that no one was buying.
He symbolically rummaged through the containers below, and unexpectedly found a bottle of mineral water in the cracks of the container.
It must have fallen into a corner when it was crowded, but Shen Zhian unexpectedly picked it up.
