Rebirth after the end of the world: tens of billions of materials are used

Chapter 36 Tolls

"My family is out of food."

"So you want to eat?"

Gu Peihuai nodded.

"Then why do you think I have it here?"

Gu Peihuai didn't expect Qianying to ask such a question, so he paused and asked, "Are you out of food?"

"I'm surprised. You lie and don't make drafts? I didn't take more of the ones brought back from the warehouse that day. It's only been a few days? Are they gone?"

Qianying was a little speechless. The previous few times they hoarded food by mistake, they obviously hoarded it together. Even though her food intake is so exaggerated recently, she still can't eat all of it.

Gu Peihuai seemed to have just realized this.

"Cough." He cleared his throat in embarrassment.

"I can help you find supplies, and you cook."

"Are you not afraid that I will swallow your things and not give them to you?"

"If you want, I'll give it to you." Gu Peihuai said indifferently.

"Then why should I cook for you? What benefits do I have?"

Just kidding, she still has to eat her own food every day, if Gu Peihuai also eats, how long can the ready-made ones that are hoarded last?
And if Gu Peihuai ran out of supplies after a long time, would she still have to take care of him?
"This building is already in chaos, I can guarantee that they won't harass you."

"You are boasting, how can I believe you?"

"Oh!"

The fire hydrant in the building shattered at the sound, but Gu Peihuai's punch was so easy, it seemed that it was easy for him.

"Tsk, it's really violent."

Qianying raised her eyebrows, she has always recognized Gu Peihuai's strength, although she didn't know where he got this ability, but from the previous cooperation, Gu Peihuai's strength is indeed blameless.

"It's okay to care about your food, but I don't need you to settle those troubles for me."

Gu Peihuai was slightly surprised.

"Free food?"

"Fuck you! You teach me something real, what do you know? I want the ability to protect myself."

Although she recognizes Gu Peihuai's skill very much, the most important thing in the last days is to have your own strength, there is nothing you can rely on for life.

The person who can be most trusted is also oneself. Of course, it is also very beneficial for individuals to establish a certain cooperative relationship.

And the best cooperative relationship must be interests.

"That's it? I also said I'll be your bodyguard for free, I'm very expensive." Gu Peihuai's smug expression made Qian Yan want to smack him.

"No, I can't afford you. You should think about what you can teach me."

"You are satisfied."

"Okay, but to be clear, I can cook your meals. This is my tuition fee, but you still have to pay for the food you eat. I won't take advantage of you. You pay as much as you eat. Just do it."

If there is something, you have to explain it clearly in advance, otherwise, once a conflict arises, the cooperative relationship will soon be disintegrated.

"No problem, then when it's time for dinner, I'll go to your house."

"But I have to tell you in advance, if you really want me to train you, you have to listen to me in this regard, otherwise I can't guarantee that you can learn something." Gu Peihuai said seriously.

"You don't have to worry about it, I have no reason to pay tuition for nothing."

Gu Peihuai looked at the ceiling and nodded thoughtfully.

Qianying raised her hand and shook the bucket in her hand.

Gu Peihuai turned sideways to make way.

After two o'clock in the afternoon, it was slightly warmer outside than in the morning, and there were quite a few people who came down to dig snow. Looking around, most of the men came out to dig snow, and a third of women came out.

People had already dug a hole in the snow in front of the building. Qian Yan carried a bucket and went down to the sixth floor. The windows in the corridor on the sixth floor had been smashed open, and she easily got out through the window on the sixth floor.

When she went downstairs, Qianying didn't see that miserable psychopath on the seventh floor come out to steal the barrel again.

Finding a corner with few people, Qianying began to dig hard.

In fact, there is not much water in the house. Just washing dishes and taking a bath requires a lot of water. Not only is the water cut off, but also the toilet and sewer at home are scrapped. The pipes have all been frozen, so obviously they can be used is unlikely
Although there are baths and water sources in the space, Qianying has never understood the mechanism of the space. If the water in the space suddenly runs out one day, she will cry to someone. In short, it is always right to stock up on more water. .

There were people coming and going in front of the building, and the outdoor temperature was extremely low. Everyone wanted to quickly dig some snow at the place closest to the building door and then go back, which caused a large part of the ground in front of the building to sag.

Lingui City is like spring all year round. People don’t have many winter clothes in their homes, and they can’t bear the extremely low temperature outside.

Most of the families with a lot of people have at least two people here, so that they can take turns so as not to be too cold, so most people form a team of two or three, and only a few people like Qian Yan come out to dig snow alone.

But the group of men and women in the middle is very eye-catching.

And most of them are acquaintances, Qin Wen and her group, of course, have a few more strangers, but Qian Yan, who is standing in the middle and directing a few people to work, looks familiar, but she can't think of it for a while. up who it is.

Qin Wen wore a thick brown mink fur coat, which was very high-profile in the crowd. Although it was not as warm as Qian Yan's, such a quality was obviously a high-quality material in the last days.

Qian Yan remembered that a few days ago, Qin Wen was still wearing layers of fashion, which looked ridiculous and completely unwarmed. At least in this kind of weather, it was almost impossible for her to stand here safely.

But the situation of Qin Wen now is completely different from the situation a few days ago
Thinking of the corpse that she encountered in the morning, it seems that Xu Yonghe was stabbed in the leg by her, which is completely worthless to Qin Wen. As for how he died, who's thigh did Qin Wen hug? Surprisingly not interested at all.

After all, this is Qin Wen's lifelong mastery.

Please men.

She didn't question Qin Wen's ability in this area at all.

After all, she had seen it in her previous life.

I quickly filled two buckets of snow and sent Qian Yan back. She lives on the 24th floor, and it is a bit strenuous to climb the stairs.

This time she simply brought four buckets down, wanting to bring more back, after all, climbing the stairs once is not easy.

When they were downstairs, they met Lin Yan and Father Lin.

Lin Yan stood in the building waiting to pick up the snow that Father Lin had dug up.

"Xiaoyan, why did you come down?"

"Yeah, you come to dig the snow too, I don't worry about Dad, so I will come down and have a look."

"Well, there's no water in the house, come down and dig some, can your legs work?" Qian Yan asked worriedly.

After all, although her fairy water was comparable to a miracle, Lin Yan didn't use it much.

"It's strange to say that my father said it was a medical miracle. I was lucky to be able to save my life, but guess what?"

Lin Yan paused for a moment and deliberately lowered his voice and said, "The wound on my leg has scabbed over."

Qianyan smiled guiltyly, "It's fine, it's fine."

She still secretly sighed in her heart, as expected of her fairy water, the effect is really powerful!

"Then take it easy and don't move your muscles again."

"I know, have you forgotten what my family does?" Lin Yan smiled at Qianying, and gently nudged Qianying with his elbow.

"Then I won't tell you. Just wait here. I'll go dig some snow too."

"En." Lin Yan nodded towards Qianying.

When Qianying started digging the snow, there was a lot of commotion at the windows on the sixth floor, and Qin Wen's group blocked her way back.

Residents who were about to return protested dissatisfied below.

"Listen up. The windows on the sixteenth floor were opened by my brothers. We are all civilized people. A civilized person must have a civilized way. Is it okay for my brothers to collect some tolls?"

The person who spoke was a thin and small man, who looked about 26 or seven years old, but he was shrewd, and he was able to speak clearly and logically when he yelled.

Qianying suddenly remembered that this person seemed to be the property steward in charge of their building. Qin Wen acted like a baby and walked towards him through the back door when distributing supplies that day, but was blocked by an aunt in the end.

It seems that he has hooked up with the property manager.

"Why should you pay tolls? We are all owners of this community, and we all pay for the public sharing fees. You can give them as you please?"

A man stood up and reasoned with the man.

Qin Wen's group of people occupied an advantageous location, and a group of people looked down at the people below, and the thin and small man smiled kindly.

"I am reasoning with you now. If you listen to my reasoning, everyone will live in peace. If you don't listen to my reasoning, then I have my own way!"

"Listen well. If you dig a bucket of snow by yourself, you have to pay a toll for a bucket of snow. Otherwise, you can cool off outside. I'm not in a hurry."

The man raised his voice, and after he finished speaking, someone put a chair behind him, and the man sat on the chair arrogantly with his legs crossed, looking at the people downstairs with disdain.

"I recognize this man, he is the property steward of our property!"

"Why do you charge the property owner for no reason?"

"That is, have you paid for living? With your salary, can you afford this square meter without food or drink for a year?"

"Go away, I want to go in!"

The crowd yelled, and they were very dissatisfied with Qin Wen's group, but most of their resentment was also directed at that man.

The man seemed to have been poked in a sore spot, and the smirk just now disappeared from his face, and his eyes were replaced by extremely cruel eyes.

"Aren't you just a little security guard? I don't believe you can turn the world upside down today!" A 1.8 meter tall man shouted dissatisfied.

After finishing speaking, the man was about to climb through the window.

"Ah!" The man fell back to the ground heavily, a miserable voice sounded on the open ground, and his body curled up and twitched on the ground.

"what happened?"

"How can you hit someone?"

"That's right, young man, you are not authentic, we are all owners?"

"what happened to him?"

"No way, I was kicked"

Others may not see it clearly, or they may not know what it is, but Qian Yan sees it clearly, they have electric batons in their hands.

Even if the people here are not rich and powerful, most of them live in the upper class. How can anyone pay attention to this kind of thing, but Qian Yan has dealt with this kind of thing in her previous life, and she also knows how painful that man was. .

They are people from the community property, so it is not surprising that they have electric batons in their hands. Under the conditions of the end of the world, it is very important to have excellent weapons.

"At first, I thought that the people here are all gentlemen, and they wanted to settle the matter peacefully, but there are always people who don't understand each other. But I am a gentleman. If I listen to a good word, I will honestly pay all the tolls, what?" Nothing."

Although there were constant discussions in the crowd, no one dared to go up to be the early bird.

Lin's father was right in front of Qianying, already shivering from the cold, not to mention the old man couldn't bear it, even the young man would have to relax for a while after staying in such weather for a long time.

Lin Yan was very anxious up there but he couldn't do anything about it. There were quite a few people gathered upstairs, some were relatives down below, and some were waiting to dig snow up but didn't dare to come down.

But someone still broke the stalemate, and someone jumped from the window with two large buckets half a person's height.

The thin man above was a little surprised to see Gu Peihuai jumping from the window, but he didn't say anything. After all, he could only charge tolls when someone went down to dig snow.

Gradually, some people in the crowd could no longer stand the temperature, and finally decided to compromise.

Everyone started queuing up to pay tolls. Many people didn’t have the right tools to dig the snow, let alone enough tools to keep out the cold. They dug down with pots and pans. Their hands were frozen and stiff, but they had already handed in half of the hard-earned snow. .

There were also a few people in the middle who resisted, but without exception, the electric baton in the man's hand was stopped.

Qin Wen sat in the arms of the thin man, looking down at the ants below like all living beings.

When he glanced at Qianying, he said something in the man's ear, and felt that the man's eyes were cast on Qianying.

Qian Yan ignored it, and continued to plan the snow in the snow.

Finally, the four buckets of snow were completely filled by Qian Yan,
There were a lot of people queuing in front, and Lin's father handed over a bucket of snow and had already gone up. Lin Yan looked at Qian Yan with some concern, but was dispersed by Qin Wen's group.

Qianyan didn't want to cause trouble, but she knew in her heart that if she didn't make any noise today, she wouldn't want to go back.
"You, come here." The thin man hooked his fingers towards Qianying.

Qian Yan ignored it, chose to ignore it, and continued to follow the crowd.

The man wasn't angry at all, anyway, Qianying would be at the front sooner or later, so he wasn't in a hurry.

When they reached the front of the line, the young man next to the man shouted at Qianying, "You dug four buckets, hand over two buckets!"

"You don't have to pay." The thin man interrupted the words of the young man beside him.

Seeing this, the little follower left in front of Qianying, and skipped Qianying to collect tolls from the people behind.

"No need to pay?" Qian Yan put all four barrels of snow on the ground, and put her hands in her pockets.

She knew that there were a lot of people here, and they had weapons in their hands. It would be hopeless for her to fight hard, but she had a shotgun in her space, and if there was any danger, she would take it out to save her life.

"Baby, do you think she is your sister?" The skinny man lowered his head half a head lower than Qin Wen's. Standing up and hugging Qin Wen's shoulders was a bit difficult, but finally he put his hands on Qin Wen's waist.

"Well, but she has never liked me. This blizzard is because she almost let me freeze to death outside." Qin Wen said with tears.

The man reached out his hand and wiped the tears on Qin Wen's cheeks, "Don't cry, baby, my face is broken from crying, and my heart aches."

Only then did Qin Wen stop her tears and continued talking.

"If Brother Jia hadn't found this dress for me, I would have frozen to death outside."

　We are looking at everyone's suggestions. Incomplete loopholes will be filled in and corrected later, and a unified reply will be made. Thank you for your suggestions.
