It rained heavily for three consecutive days, and most of the first floor was flooded.

At first, Yang Huixin hoped that the errand boy would come again to take orders so that she could replenish some supplies. However, in this weather, the boy said that no matter how poor he was, he would have to sacrifice his life!

The Ye family still has a large stockpile of food, but other families are used to buying fresh vegetables every day, and the little surplus food at home will not be enough for the next meal in less than two days.

Some people in the community group started to borrow food.

"Do any of your neighbors have some surplus food? My family has nothing to eat. Can you sell some to me? I can double the harvest!"

"My house is gone too. I thought there wouldn't be much rain and I didn't make any preparations. The last packet of instant noodles at home was cooked last night. Is there any kind person who can lend me some food?"

"..."

Yang Huixin didn't dare to say anything. This community group was a large group, with all the residents of Pingbu Qingyun Garden in it, and there was another small group in each building.

Their building is the ninth one, and some people in the group are asking about food.

"Does anyone have a lot of food at home? Our family is out of food, can we buy some from you?"

After sending the voice message, probably to prove that his family really had no food left, the male owner of the family sent a photo of an empty refrigerator.

"My home is gone too!"

Several other stores followed suit, and all refrigerators, large and small, were empty, with only a few bottles of drinks or wine at most.

"Hahaha, everyone has issued empty refrigerators to prove themselves. Then all the landowners who have not been issued must have surplus food. I beg you brothers and sisters to donate generously!"

When these words came out, the group was silent for a while, and the Ye family members looked at each other with their mobile phones in hand.

Residents in other homes either pretended not to notice, or took pictures of their own refrigerators and posted them, for fear that they would be judged as people with food.

"Should we also take a photo and post it?" Yang Huixin asked hesitantly.

Ye Buqing searched for a photo of an empty refrigerator on the Internet and posted it in the group.

Her photo blended in with the crowd of people posting pictures and was inconspicuous, but it also proved that she had no surplus food.

The first floor is almost flooded, and the elevator has been out of service. In a few days, this group of people may not have the strength to climb to the 28th floor to grab things.

Until evening, there were more and more news about borrowing food in the group. Before going to bed, Ye Buqing saw her father dragging a sofa to block the door. He turned around and saw her sticking her head out of the room and smiling gently at her. "Go to bed early, Qingqing. Dad is here, everything will be fine."

That night, Ye Buqing slept for less than two hours.

In the middle of the night, the whole building was awakened by the noise coming from the second floor.

The rainwater reached the second floor. When the owner of 201 got up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet, he stepped into the water. He screamed in fright. He pushed the three remaining people in the house awake, packed their quilts and clothes, and packed up the few remaining items. Liangmi climbed up the safety stairs, trying to find a place to stay.

He was quite a good person and woke up his neighbors one by one when he went out.

There are two households on one floor. 201 woke up first, packed his things and went all the way up. He stopped at the corner of the tenth floor. 202, who followed closely behind, was also confused. Watching them go up, a family of three were also carrying things. Follow up.

As for the first floor, because the ground had been damp during the rainy season, and his family had two elderly people with weak legs and feet, the family moved to another house before the natural disaster came.

The second floor was vacated and had fallen into ruin.

The next day, residents in the nine buildings were discussing this matter, mixed with some messages asking for food.

The network is still somewhat affected, and the speed of sending and receiving messages is very slow.

One of the two households on the third floor was not at home, and the remaining household was worried that it would flood to the third floor.

At this moment, Yang Huixin didn't dare to open the window when cooking at home. They had meat at home and fried a little of it every meal. If the smell wafted out, someone might come to borrow food.

During lunch, Ye Cheng and Yang Huixin discussed getting some water at home and figuring out how to deal with the remaining meat, whether it should be marinated or dried. The non-stop heavy rain has made Yecheng's sense of crisis heightened. If it continues to flood, there may be power and water outages at home, so everything needs to be prepared in advance.

But speaking of water, the two boxes of drinking water that Yang Huixin asked the errand boy to bring can be saved and used as reserve drinking water later.

The couple was planning the next arrangement, and Ye Buqing paused while picking up vegetables.

There are footsteps outside the door!

"咚咚-"

The moment the footsteps stopped, there was a knock on the door.

Ye Buqing frowned and looked over. Perhaps because of the addition of 100 skill points, her physical fitness had improved a lot in all aspects, and her perception was even sharper.

The footsteps outside the door came from the safety staircase. The footsteps were not chaotic, so it should be only one person.

Who is it?

The five people at the dinner table looked at each other, all a little overwhelmed by the situation.

There was another knock on the door.

Ye Buqing stood up and walked towards the door.

The sofa was pressed tightly against the door. Ye Buqing moved the sofa back a little with one hand, then opened the door a crack and looked out cautiously.

At the door was an old lady with gray hair who looked familiar to Ye Buqing, she was from upstairs.

"Sorry to bother you, I'm from the 29th floor. I want to ask if you have much food at home, anything. I want to buy some..."

The old lady's eyes were sincere as she spoke, holding a gold earring in her hand and passing it over, "Maybe I can trade this with you, okay?"

Ye Buqing looked at the old lady's expression and asked, "Why don't you borrow it from the group?"

"I'm not very good at using mobile phones as I get older, and my grandson has gone to live with his parents. No one teaches me..." the old lady said, her face turning red.

"What do you want, meat, eggs and vegetables? Rice and noodles?" Ye Buqing asked.

The old lady's eyes widened when she heard this. She waved her hands quickly and reminded Ye Buqing to keep her voice down so that others wouldn't hear her.

"Don't let others hear this. No one has anything to eat now. Be careful of bad guys coming to rob you!" The old lady was even more anxious than Ye Buqing. "Just sell me some of what you don't want to eat at home. You can keep the rest." Just eat by yourself, as long as my old lady is full, she doesn’t need to eat good food!”

Ye Buqing raised his eyebrows when he heard this, "Wait a minute, I'll go in and get it for you."

After saying that, Ye Buqing entered the house and stood there for a while to make sure that the old lady did not do anything unnecessary before telling her parents about the situation.

Yang Huixin looked a little tangled, but she still went into the room, took out a tube of noodles that she had unpacked in the past two days, and handed it to Ye Buqing's hand.

Ye Buqing went to the door and handed the noodles to the old lady.

"Thank you! How much is this? I'll give it to you." The old lady covered her face in her clothes and covered it so that no corners were exposed. Then she told Ye Buqing about the money.

"twenty."

Money must be collected. It cost ten yuan to buy this. Ye Buqing doubled the price. In this special period, it was not an advantage to her.

The old lady handed over a neat stack of money and thanked her a thousand times before leaving.

Back at the dinner table, the Ye family members had different expressions.

"This one can't get out, what if someone comes later -"

Yang Hui was only halfway through her words when she heard another knock at the door.

Ye Buqing kept his ears open and listened to the sound. This time, they were coming from below, and there were more than one...
