The Bodhi Space of the End Times

Chapter 19 Facing the Storm "Part Two"

Lin Xiaomei took Liu Suying's hand and brought the two children to the vegetable area.

Sure enough, all the vegetables were tied up in small handfuls and placed on the shelves.There are few varieties of vegetables, and the leaves are yellow and drooping. It seems that they have been stored for two or three days, and not many people buy them.

Potatoes, onions, these can be stored, and more people buy them.

The most popular dishes are pickles, pickled vegetables, and bean paste.

But these have also increased in price. A pack of pickles that used to cost one yuan now costs three yuan.

Although everyone complains, as long as they can eat enough, they will not be unable to survive.

After strolling around for a while, a few more staff came. A middle-aged man in a professional suit and gold-rimmed glasses walked in front, took out the key, and opened the warehouse door inside.

A table was moved out of the warehouse, and several security guards kept order and made everyone line up. For Liu Suying and the others, Jiang Ming and Liao Jianjun were always buying, and the others did not go to line up.

Mother Jiang and the four chatted happily with a few old people.

"Ms. Li, I haven't seen you go out for a long time. Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

A broad and fat woman in her sixties asked Mother Jiang with concern.

"No, there are a lot of things at home during this time, and it's raining heavily outside, so I don't want to go out."

"Isn't it! It's like a hole has been broken this day. It's been raining non-stop. I also came out in the past two days to see that the rain was a little lighter."

"Hey! Do you know that Uncle Chen from Huayuan District has left. It happened a few days ago. I heard that the body is still at home."

The Huayuan community is five traffic lights away from them. It is an old community, and the terrain there is much lower. It is estimated that the flood has reached the first floor.

"Uncle Chen is also pitiful. He worked hard to bring up his son alone. The year before last, he used the coffin to buy his son an elevator apartment in our community. It didn't matter if he wasn't allowed to live in it before. After all, he still has an old house, but Now, knowing that his old man's house is going to be flooded, he still doesn't care about it, it's really too much."

Zhang Shufen, who lives downstairs from Liu Suying and the others, said with righteous indignation that this person is also a gossip, and there is nothing around here that she doesn't know about.

"No, I heard that because his mother-in-law's family has more than a dozen people, his father can't live there."

Everyone sighed, lamenting the cruelty of the world.

"Shu Fen, when will you drink Tan Hao's wedding wine? Has the date been fixed yet?"

Jiang's mother likes Tan Hao very much. He has good grades since he was a child. He just finished his master's degree in construction engineering last year.

He is also very polite to people. Whether in the community or outside, he will greet him politely when he meets him. The elderly like polite children.

Seeing him, Jiang's mother would think of Jiang Ming's third year in high school. If she hadn't suffered a sudden illness and spent all of her family's savings, and because she had to study for a year, the school had given her an early retirement.

Jiang Ming would not give up his studies, and started earning money to support his family early on. His grades at that time were among the best in the city. Every time she thought about this, her heart ached so badly that she couldn't breathe.

"Don't mention it, bragging, the two families were already discussing the wedding, but their family suddenly changed their minds, and they didn't say the reason, just said that the two were not suitable. Later, Tan Hao blocked her from dating someone, so she found out It’s climbing a high branch.”

"Forget it, Tan Hao doesn't care for such a person. On Tan Hao's terms, we can find a good girl every minute."

"That is, Tan Hao is good-looking, good-natured, and good at work. Any girl who marries him will enjoy happiness."

For a while, the old man and the old lady praised Tan Haolai one after another, sweeping away the haze of many days.

At ten o'clock, the two finally bought rice.Jiang Ming bought two catties of rice, and Liao Jianjun bought a little more than one catty.

After exiting the supermarket, turn right ahead and you will find Wuyue Square, where Mother Jiang usually likes to dance square dances.

However, the current square has been flooded so that the original appearance cannot be seen.

The benches, stone benches, flowers and plants installed in the middle of the square can only vaguely see a little shadow. Looking around, it looks like a fish pond full of garbage.

And from here on, it was impossible to walk in front of the street. The floodwaters on the street had been submerged more than one meter deep, and there were messy objects floating on the turbid water surface, and the rainwater was ticking on it.

"Father! You said there was a boat, why didn't you see it?" Jiang Hao shouted loudly.

"There will be a boat in a while." Jiang Ming said loudly into his son's ear.

The streets turned into small rivers, and cars naturally couldn't drive, making it inconvenient for people to travel.

Therefore, the industry of sailing boats to solicit customers was extended, not to mention, it was quite popular.

Now that the flood is spreading, the area from Yuquan Road to Yong'an Road in the north of the city is rare after all. In some places, the terrain is low, and the water is as deep as five meters, and the shallow one is more than one meter. The only way to go out is by boat.

Sure enough, after a while, a small boat sailed in the distance.this boat!Isn't it the sightseeing boat in Donghushan Park?

There are dozens of boats, large and small, and it seems that they will come in handy this time, so ah!There are always more solutions than difficulties. Human beings are very fragile in the face of natural disasters, but as long as they don't give up, there is always a way to survive.

Soon, the boat drove to the shallow water. This boat can seat 12 people, and a canopy is installed on the boat.

This boat is dual-purpose. It can be rowed by hand or driven by an engine, but there is no leisurely rowing now.

It is said that there are 12 people on the boat, but this boat has almost 20 people on it.Wearing raincoats and carrying tightly wrapped bags, these people got off the boat in a hurry.

After everyone had left, Liu Suying and her party of ten boarded the boat. Before going out, Jiang Ming said that food could be used to cover the boat fare, so Liu Suying packed a bag of ham sausage and a few apples in her bag.

The boatman is a middle-aged man in his 40s, about 1.7 meters tall, wearing a black raincoat, and he is very strong.

Jiang Ming discussed with the boatman, gave him a bag of ham sausage and two apples, and drove them for two hours to paddle. No other guests could be boarded during these two hours.

The boatman readily agreed that now that meat is so expensive, a bag of ham sausages can be eaten for several meals, and apples are also expensive, so who would buy fruit when it is difficult to eat.

Watching the boatman carefully pack the ham and apples.

Everyone looked at each other: Is their life a bit extravagant, but no one made a sound to discuss it, and sat quietly on the boat.

Looking at the boats passing by on the road, there are sanitation workers who salvage garbage, soldiers who deliver supplies, and passenger ships like them soliciting customers
The big trees on both sides of the street were swayed by the strong wind, more than half of the branches were broken, and they fell pitifully on the side of the road.

Except for the residents on the first and second floors in the urban area who were taken to the government affairs building by the ZF, everyone else still lives at home.

The villages are all self-built houses, which were transferred to the government affairs building by the ZF on the second day of the heavy rain.

When the boat sailed to the government affairs building, I saw a tall building with more than [-] floors standing majestically in the rain.

This is the tallest building in the entire city of D. In the dream, this tall building has stood for three years, and it has withstood heavy rain, heavy snow, drought and small-scale earthquakes.However, it collapsed in the global earthquake in the third year,

A few gunshots interrupted Liu Suying's thoughts. In a residential building facing the street, there were loud shouts, which could not be heard clearly, but only the figure of Brother Youbing flickered.

"This should be a robbery. The crime is in the hands of the soldiers. Now as long as anyone dares to rob, they will be killed directly. You live in the north of the city. You should not see this kind of thing. Other places that are flooded often The robbery happened, if not for the government's tough tactics, I'm afraid the world would be in chaos."

"There is no need for heavy codes to rule chaos, and it can't suppress the hearts of the people who are just around the corner."

Liao Jianjun looked at the residential building and said calmly.
