"Hmph, just you wait, kid. I'll deal with you after I heal my brothers 'injuries!”
In the end, Brother Fan didn't fight with An Yan anymore. He thought that the skinny man on his side could only display half of his combat strength, and the fatty probably couldn't fight. If it was just the two of them, it wouldn't be easy to deal with An Yan. He didn't expect that this guy's clothes didn't match at all, like he was mentally retarded, but his hands weren't weak. In the underworld, losing people couldn't lose the battle, so the last words had to be said. This way, he could maintain his image in the eyes of his little brother. He wasn't afraid of you, he was just letting you off temporarily for the sake of his little brother's injury.
"Let's just wait, hmph ~" An Yan was now emboldened and spoke with confidence.
"An Yan, don't say anymore. Let's go!”Zhao Xiaomiao was afraid. She had not forgotten that she was still standing in the water. It would be terrible if there were bugs at this time!
Suppressing his excitement, An Yan agreed. He saw Zhao Xiaomiao standing in the water and thought of the insects she was afraid of." Aiya, come up quickly. I'll carry you. It's all those hooligans. If I see them again, I'll beat them up."”
" Pfft." Zhao Xiaomiao laughed. When she was hiding behind An Yan earlier, she could feel his body trembling. However, she obviously couldn't say it out loud at this time. Hence, she went along with him and said," Yes, yes, Hero An Yan is so powerful. I'm really impressed!"”
These half-truths made An Yan dizzy. This was the first time in his life that he was praised as a hero. He felt heroic and the punch from Fatty didn't hurt much. Even though he was carrying a person on his back, his footsteps were very light. It didn't take long for him to reach the neighborhood where there were several supermarkets. In the morning, he ate an apple at Zhang Shaoming's place. At noon, An Yan bought a few packets of instant noodles and two bottles of mineral water. It was getting late and he was a little hungry. He only had a dozen yuan in his pocket. He thought that it would not make much of a difference if he had a dozen yuan or not. He decided to buy some food first. After all, he could not afford to rent a house with this little money. He was pleasantly surprised to find that there were buns in the supermarket. He bought eight buns for eight yuan and two bottles of mineral water. In the end, he only had one coin left. Thinking that there might not be electricity at night, he asked for a lighter.
Carrying the food in a plastic bag, they walked towards a building. Zhao Xiaomiao already knew about An Yan's plan. At the same time, An Yan had also told her about his financial problems. Zhao Xiaomiao had no other choice but to follow him and try.
There were some people standing at the stairs discussing. They were deeply worried about yesterday's meteorite and flood. Moreover, they couldn't get through to the phone or open the website. The only information they had was word of mouth. Even this news made them very uneasy. They didn't pay much attention to the arrival of An Yan and the others. The neighbors who usually only nodded when they met were like friends who talked about everything, exchanging information together.
"I heard that not only in our country, but all the phones in the world have failed. Some people say that it was brought by the meteorite, but they don't know how it formed.”
"The whole world? Who did you hear that from? Could it be that the phone is working? I only know that many buildings were destroyed by the fire. That's tragic!”
"That's right. I don't know what the fire brigade does. They usually waste the tax-paying people's money.”
"You can't say that. After all, it was a natural disaster. There were so many buildings that were affected. Even if all the firefighters came out, how many could they save?”
" Not only that," the auntie looked around as if she was observing the enemy. She said mysteriously," Don't tell anyone that I said it. I won't tell anyone else." I just received news that riots have broken out in many cities. There have been incidents of looting in some places. The price of rice will definitely increase. If you want to buy something, you have to hurry up. I'd better hurry up and buy some!”
"Ah, really? I'll go too, before it gets dark. Old man, come quickly, let's go together!”
Everyone was talking at once. An Yan listened for a while. Seeing that most of the people had gone to buy supplies and there was nothing else to listen to, he brought Zhao Xiaomiao upstairs. None of them saw the middle-aged woman who was spreading the news enter a supermarket and sneak into the inner room. A woman inside gave her two hundred-yuan bills. She happily took the bills and went out with a bag of things in her hand.
An Yan didn't know anyone here, and he didn't have money. It wouldn't be easy to find a place to stay. One had to know that people nowadays were not like the ancient times. People were very cold to each other. Usually, no one would do something like staying with strangers. His worst plan was to spend the night in the corridor. Choosing a high building was just to avoid the attack of the insects. The insects would not climb so high for fun. If they wanted to harm someone, they would harm the people on the lower floors first. In his opinion, there shouldn't be many bugs like that. Otherwise, it would have been reported long ago. However, he didn't know that this kind of insect had never appeared before. He just assumed that this thing had probably been brought over from that corner along with the flood. However, seeing how scared Zhao Xiaomiao was, he naturally had to think more.
Because there was no electricity, the elevator naturally could not be used. They could only take the stairs. The staircase was rather dark, and the figures were a little blurry. It was just like the mood of most people at this time, dark and depressing.
"Is anyone home?" This was the tenth time An Yan had called someone else's door.
"Who are you looking for?" A man's voice came from inside the door. An Yan stood in front of the observation hole of the security door and tried his best to smile." We were washed away by the flood and can't go back for the time being. We want to stay at your place for the night."
"Sorry, the place is small. Let's find another place.”The door slammed shut.
He was still polite, so An Yan was not angry. It was within his expectations. He was just doing his best and leaving it to fate. If it wasn't for Zhao Xiaomiao, he wouldn't have begged anyone else. A poor man's ambition wasn't short. This was An Yan.
"Forget it, An Yan. Don't beg others anymore. I also came from the countryside. I can endure a little hardship. Actually, it's not bad outside. When I was young, I often slept in the courtyard.”Zhao Xiaomiao stuck out her tongue at An Yan mischievously. He thought that it was a little inappropriate for a girl to sleep in the open. However, the sky was a little dark, so An Yan did not notice Zhao Xiaomiao's expression.
At this point, An Yan had to admit that he was not a sociable person. He did not manage to get a place to stay. It seemed that he would have to stay in the corridor tonight. It was fine where a man was, but it didn't seem right for a girl to sleep in the corridor. Besides, this wasn't the countryside. If she wanted to go to the toilet at night, she had to go to the public toilet outside the community.
The top floor was the twelfth floor. They stopped at the corner of the eleventh and twelfth floors and sat on the steps. The doors of the two households above were closed. The anti-theft door had good soundproofing. They did not hear any sound coming from inside and did not press the doorbell. They had already given up hope of finding a place to stay.
"Come and eat! We'll make do for today. The water should be able to go down tomorrow. Where are you going then?”An Yan placed a plastic bag on one of the steps and let Zhao Xiaomiao sit there. He blew the soil on the side and sat on the other side of the steps. In the middle was the steamed buns he had bought.
"I'm going back to my place. My cousin is there too. It should be fine there. What about you?"
"Me?" An Yan took a bite of the bun." I want to go back to the factory. Whether or not I can still work, I have to go and see. It's not easy to find a formal job. Although the salary is not much, it's all covered by insurance and insurance.”
They had only eaten some instant noodles at noon, and both of them were hungry now. Zhao Xiaomiao thanked him and took the bun from An Yan. The bun was very small, not as big as the steamed bun. If there were steamed buns, An Yan would not have bought the bun. In just a few bites, he finished a bun. It was filled with pork and onions. It tasted very fragrant, but the filling was a little lacking. Merchants nowadays were too shrewd. If they made less filling for each bun, they would save a lot of money in a day. For example, if a toothpaste seller opened the mouth of the original toothpaste a little wider, everyone would squeeze out the same length of toothpaste when using it, and the speed of use would be faster. One or two tubes of toothpaste might not be visible, but overall, the factory would sell more toothpaste every year. This bun could only be eaten until it was half full. Sigh, a single coin stumped a hero. An Yan admitted that he was not a hero, but he was stumped by a few yuan.
Slowing down, An Yan ate in small bites.
"I'm very worried about my mother in my hometown. She's not in good health to begin with. I don't know if there was a flood there!”
After talking for a while, An Yan raised his worries again. He had already said this a few times.
"An Yan, don't worry too much. I believe that auntie will be fine.”Zhao Xiaomiao consoled An Yan. She could only say such unreliable words. However, An Yan was just looking for some comfort. He hoped that things were really as Zhao Xiaomiao said.
"I'm full. You can eat the rest.”
Zhao Xiaomiao ate three buns and pushed the last one to An Yan.
"Ah, this is enough! You know, otakus don't exercise much, so their appetites are usually small."
"Stop!" Zhao Xiaomiao interrupted An Yan." Girls can't eat too much, especially at night. It's too easy to gain weight. I don't want to lose weight in the future. It's settled then. Besides, if something happens, you might have to carry me. What if you don't have the strength to throw me into the water?”
Unable to persuade Zhao Xiaomiao, An Yan could only pick up the bun. He was a little touched. Three little buns would not be enough for Zhao Xiaomiao to eat. He had eaten five and was still not full. She was a good girl, An Yan thought. Those beautiful women were all as proud as peacocks. However, the impression they gave An Yan was nothing but pride. They were not fated to be gentle and considerate. If he had to choose, he would rather choose someone like Zhao Xiaomiao.
