The next day, Ye Buqing strictly abided by his plan of not having enough to eat and went downstairs to work. No one in the crowd thought it was unusual.

Aunt Liu couldn't come today, so Ye Buqing still squatted down and prepared to light the fire. No one took the initiative to say anything, and she wouldn't mention the missing person.

What Lou Wanjiang called gathering supplies was to find all the food that everyone in the building could eat and collect them together, and then distribute food every day just like in the canteen, but the food given out was not much, as long as they didn't starve to death.

Those who have a lot of food left at home will definitely not be happy, but the outcome of Zhao Rong's family's suicide attempt is too bleak to scare the monkeys. Others who don't want to take out the food don't dare to take the risk. At most, they can hide some at home and start a small stove.

There are no vegetables, and meat is rarely seen. The largest pile of all supplies is rice, but recently, rice has been eaten less and less. Lou Wanjiang suspected that someone had dirty hands and feet and secretly took it home, so he put it away Everything was gathered in one room. When cooking every day, he would use the key to unlock the door and take out the things. No one else was allowed in at other times.

It was the same today. Ye Buqing was holding firewood in her hand. The whole room was filled with the smell of not taking a shower for a long time. Ye Buqing would be so smelly that she couldn't open her eyes if she got close to some people. She would put on dirty clothes when she went out. , also smelly, but not as exaggerated as those people's smell.

Lou Wanjiang came out with a small bag of rice and half a bucket of filtered rainwater. Several households in the building had simple water purifiers. After Lou Wanjiang found out, they collected all of them and filtered some rainwater for cooking every day. This thing does not need to be plugged in, but the amount of water it can filter is not large. And it needs to be filtered back and forth several times.

"Why is there someone missing?" Lou Wanjiang handed the rice to an aunt next to him, glanced around and frowned and asked.

"Xiao Liu didn't come today." The aunt answered him, handed the rice to the person next to her, and then freed her hand to take the water.

There was not much water, and cooking during this special period was not as clean as usual. After brewing it briefly, it was put into the pot, and Ye Buqing nodded and lit the fire.

"The cripple didn't come today either." A short man next to Lou Wanjiang added in a low voice.

No one mentioned this matter again after that. The fire burned silently. The smoke from the damp firewood was very strong, but you would feel warmer if you were close to the fire source. After taking stock of the fire, Ye Bu moved to the side. A man immediately rubbed his hands and squeezed in and squatted next to him.

After adding firewood several times, the pot gradually began to smell a little better. Lou Wanjiang was smoking on the side, staring at the white steam coming out of the pot lid in a daze. After smoking a cigarette, he got up and went into the room where the ingredients were placed. When he came out of the house, he carried two sausages in his hands.

meat!

Almost everyone's eyes immediately focused on the two short meat sausages!

Lou Wanjiang went into the kitchen and took out a knife. In front of everyone, he washed the sausage in rice washing water, then cut it into small pieces and poured it into the rice pot. He used a rice spoon to stir the rice and sausage evenly and then put the pot again. Cover.

Everyone's eyes followed the direction of the two intestines, watching the meat and rice grains stir together, and they swallowed a mouthful of saliva in unison.

I haven't eaten real meat for several days. A few days ago, someone was so greedy that he couldn't stand it anymore and was ready to do something. Lou Wanjiang didn't say anything, but when he was cooking that day, he took out half a bottle of mixed food from the supply room. Pour the rice sauce into the rice and stir it evenly for everyone to share.

The smell made several men cry while eating.

Just that bit of minced meat made everyone hungry. Today this is a real sausage, it will only be more delicious.

After another ten minutes of boredom, the aunt opened the lid of the rice pot, and the overbearing aroma of bacon filled the small space. Ye Buqing felt that the aunt would pick up a big rice spoon and stuff it into her mouth in the next second.

But the aunt held back and handed the rice spoon to Lou Wanjiang in front of everyone. He was responsible for bringing people meals every day.

However, this job did not belong to him from the beginning. The person who shared the food was the aunt at first, but there were always some men like his mother, Da Liang Bi, who would come over with rice bowls and threaten the aunt to give them more and better food. When there is meat, I wish I could ask my aunt to pick out all the meat and give it to them.

The ingredients provided by Youtianlou Wanjiang were pickled fish and rice. After putting the rice, he held his bowl of white rice and fell silent.

From that day on, he began to personally put rice for everyone equally. Everything in the pot was stirred into pieces, and everyone got a spoonful.

Ye Buqing took a few steps out with his bowl of braised sausage and rice. He left the cramped room and walked all the way up. The two men on the 29th floor had been hungry for a few days and needed food.

They behaved more honestly than Ye Buqing expected. Every few days Ye Buqing would go upstairs and give them some food, not much. The two of them shared the food Ye Buqing received on the fourth floor.

After thinking about the reason why the two of them didn't run away, Ye Buqing felt that maybe her image of being ruthless and ruthless was too deep and they didn't have the guts to run away, or maybe it was because they felt that being Ye Buqing's prisoner would be better than eating white rice with Lou Wanjiang. Come on.

--------

On the fourth day after they noticed that the rain had become lighter, it stopped.

Lou Wanjiang wanted to go find something and come back to replenish the supplies, but the few men couldn't move at all. He said confidently that after such a long time, rescue would be coming soon, why would he risk going out to find something?

Ye Buqing was on the side. She leaned against the window and looked at the water outside. There were branches and some plastic bags floating on it, as well as several white and swollen corpses soaked in the water.

It's really not the right time to go out to look for things. Whether it's dangerous or not is another matter. They don't have a boat in the building, so the only way to go out is to swim.

No one can guarantee that people who go out can safely swim to the supermarket, and no one can guarantee that the water is clean and that they will not get sick after going out.

What's more, they have food and drink in the building. Although they are just barely full, they have completely adapted to it after a month and think this is the most comfortable arrangement at present.

Lou Wanjiang is a talented person. Ye Buqing looked at Lou Wanjiang who was confronting a man, and secretly wondered if someone like him could get into the city-state.

Although the act of collecting grain was quite disgusting at first, it must be said that after the collection, he tried to maintain a basic order and try to be fair to everyone.

If you have time, you can give him a try, Ye Buqing made up his mind.

--------

Sure enough, on the afternoon of the next day after the rain stopped, rescuers rowed a small boat towards their building.

The water rose quickly, but also receded quickly. The rain stopped for a day and night, and the water level had dropped a bit. The rescuers put a few bags of rice on the boat. The boat was blocked outside the window on the third floor, and was still some distance away from the fourth floor. Several people lowered the rope and let the rescuers tie it and then pull it up.

"You guys eat first. The rescue team has started to come here slowly in the past two days. If anyone at home is sick or injured, just follow the rescue team first. The rain has stopped and the water level has dropped. We will come again. Arrange for everyone to go to the temporary resettlement site! Come on, everyone! Keep holding on! You will get better soon!"

The leading man comforted the people upstairs and sighed, "Throughout this journey, the situation in your building has been the best. The heavy rain has exposed too many things, and some beasts have completely lost their human appearance! What are you doing? ! When the natural disaster passes, the country will definitely not let them go!"

As soon as these words came out, Ye Buqing's heart thumped and he secretly cursed this man for being an idiot.

What time is it now! Which building has few people who committed crimes? If you insist on saying this, those strong criminals will definitely become even crazier once they panic!
