Chapter 995: Storm Disaster Part 7
After hearing what Qin Wei said, he thought about it carefully and said to Jiang Wenxiu, "It's really possible."
After all, when the three of them went out to look for food, the rubber boat was about to sink after adding a few bags of food.
Not to mention, there are so many people and so much luggage.
But it is impossible to abandon my family and the food that I have found with so much difficulty.
Jiang Wenxiu saw the difficulty on Qin Wei's face, so he said to Qin Wei, "We can go in two batches."
After Qin Wei heard Jiang Wenxiu's words, his eyes suddenly lit up and he said, "This is also a good idea, Brother Jiang, are you saying this because you have made arrangements?"
Jiang Wenxiu moved his fingers uncomfortably before speaking to Qin Wei, "My wife... doesn't want to be separated from our daughter, so can you wait for me to come back and pick you up the second time?"
After Jiang Wenxiu finished speaking, he waited quietly for Qin Wei's answer.
Qin Wei was silent for a long time, then he said to Jiang Wenxiu: "This... is also possible, but... Brother Jiang, you also know that this area is very dangerous.
So can you leave the pistol to me for self-defense?"
After hearing what was said, Jiang Wenxiu couldn't help but raise his hand and touched his trouser pocket. Apparently, there was a pistol in the pocket.
After thinking it over, Jiang Wenxiu said to Qin Wei, "This is not something I can decide. I'll go back and discuss it with my family first."
After hearing this, Qin Wei nodded.
After Jiang Wenxiu returned to the house, Qu Qianxue frowned and said, "Are we asking too much by doing this?"
After all, in Qu Qianxue's opinion, it was already very good that Jiang Wenxiu's family could take her family with them when they went out to look for food.
After Qin Wei heard what Qu Qianxue said, he shook his head slightly and said to Qu Qianxue, "How could I not know? But we have to think about ourselves.
Right now, our family can’t help Brother Jiang’s family, so we can only wait and see if there is any opportunity in the future to repay them.”
Qu Qianxue also knew that Qin Wei was considering himself and his son.
After understanding that Qin Wei had a scale in his heart, Qu Qianxue said nothing more.
After Jiang Wenxiu returned to the house, he told Xu Hongyu and Jiang Meng that Qin Wei wanted a pistol for self-defense.
After Xu Hongyu heard what Jiang Wenxiu said, she said, "Do you want to give the pistol to Qin Wei?"
Jiang Wenxiu nodded slightly and said to Xu Hongyu, "I do have some such thoughts."
After taking a look at Xu Hongyu's expression, Jiang Wen added: "You know, things are not peaceful here, and it is becoming more and more difficult to find food.
Wife, think about it, we don’t want to throw away food, let alone Qin Wei’s family, who would do such a thing.”
Xu Hongyu was not an unreasonable person. After listening to Jiang Wenxiu's words, Xu Hongyu was silent for a few seconds before she spoke: "This pistol... belongs to our Jiang Meng. Whether to give it to Qin Wei or not, you should ask Jiang Meng what he means."
As soon as Xu Hongyu finished speaking, Jiang Wenxiu looked at Jiang Meng who was standing beside him.
Jiang Meng's ears were fine, so she naturally heard the conversation between the two.
After feeling Jiang Wenxiu's gaze, Jiang Meng slowly said, "You can lend it to them temporarily."
After what happened twice in the community, Jiang Meng also realized that it was indeed unsafe here.
That's why Jiang Meng was willing to lend the pistol.
After Jiang Wenxiu received Jiang Meng's answer, a look of joy immediately appeared on his face.
While nodding repeatedly, Jiang Wenxiu said to Jiang Meng and Xu Hongyu, "Then I'll go tell them."
Xu Hongyu looked at Jiang Wenxiu's appearance and couldn't help but sigh: "Look at your father like this, tsk, it's really hard to say."
After hearing what Jiang Meng said, he smiled and said, "Dad, that's just your personality."
After Jiang Wenxiu went out, he said to Qin Wei who was waiting at the door, "My wife and daughter both agree to lend you the gun."
As Jiang Wenxiu spoke, he put his hand into his trouser pocket and took out a pistol.
Qin Wei was a little nervous at first, but after hearing Jiang Wenxiu's words and seeing his actions, he immediately calmed down.
Qin Wei then said happily, "Thank you so much. I don't know how to thank you right now."
Jiang Wenxiu handed the pistol to Qin Wei, then waved his hand and said to Qin Wei: "What's the matter? Aren't we good friends?"
After Qin Wei heard Jiang Wenxiu's words, he nodded heavily and said, "Okay! We are good friends!"
After the two smiled at each other, Jiang Wenxiu said to Qin Wei, "Then we'll go first. I'll come back to pick you up!"
After seeing Qin Wei nod, Jiang Wenxiu turned around and walked towards home.
Qin Wei looked at Jiang Wenxiu's back and suddenly said, "Let me help you carry the rubber boat or the luggage."
After Jiang Wenxiu heard this, he said without turning his head, "Okay."
After Qin Wei closed the door, he chased after Jiang Wenxiu.
After a while, with the joint efforts of Qin Wei and Jiang Wenxiu, the rubber boat was placed on the water.
Then came the various luggage. Qin Wei was carrying a backpack. After subconsciously weighing it, he said, "It's a bit light."
After hearing this, Xu Hongyu quickly said, "I remember that this backpack was filled with potato chips, so it's relatively light, haha."
Qin Wei nodded naturally and said, "No wonder."
When Xu Hongyu saw that Qin Wei did not suspect anything, she breathed a sigh of relief.
After Jiang Wenxiu, Jiang Meng, and Xu Hongyu boarded the rubber boat, Jiang Wenxiu waved and said to Qin Wei, "Go back first. I'll come back to pick you up."
After hearing what Jiang Wenxiu said, Qin Wei immediately nodded and said, "Okay, have a safe trip."
After Jiang Wenxiu nodded, Xu Hongyu drove away in the rubber boat.
Qin Wei turned around and went back into the house only after he could no longer see Jiang Wenxiu's family of three.
After being away from Shengyuan Community for a long time, Xu Hongyu could not help but say: "Fortunately, I reacted quickly just now and made up for it, so Qin Wei didn't notice anything wrong."
After hearing what he said, Jiang Wenxiu said to Xu Hongyu: "Why do you say you are smart? It is because you are smart, my wife, that our daughter is so smart!"
Xu Hongyu nodded complacently and said, "Of course."
Jiang Meng looked at the interaction between the two and couldn't help but smile.
Jiang Wenxiu then raised his hand and pointed in a direction, saying, "I remember... Lizishan Park is in that direction!"
Xu Hongyu nodded and said, "I remember it too. It seemed to be in that direction."
The rubber boat was moving forward quickly under the control of Xu Hongyu.
As the rain got heavier, umbrellas were no longer suitable for the situation.
If you hold an umbrella with the help of wind and the speed of the rubber boat, it would be strange if the umbrella is not blown away!
So Jiang Meng took out three sets of raincoats from the space, and said to Jiang Wenxiu and Xu Hongyu, "Let's put on the raincoats."
After hearing what Jiang Wenxiu said, he took the raincoat from Jiang Meng's hand and said, "Now is the time to put on a raincoat to avoid catching a cold."
Xu Hongyu also took the raincoat and put it on: "The rain is really heavy, and the wind is really strong."
About half an hour later, a tower appeared faintly in front of the rubber boat.
As Jiang Meng looked up, Jiang Wenxiu, who was standing next to him, pointed at the tower and said, "That's the Lizi Tower. We're almost there!"
After hearing what was said, Xu Hongyu said to Jiang Meng, "Pack some of your luggage and go into the space.
I think we can each take two backpacks. "
After hearing what Xu Hongyu said, Jiang Meng had no objection. He waved his hand and put the rest of the backpacks into the space.
As we get closer to Lizishan Park, we can clearly see the protruding branches.
There are also various garbage blocked by these branches.
Xu Hongyu looked at the branches and said in annoyance, "How can we get through so many branches?"
After hearing what Jiang Meng said, he thought for a while before speaking to Xu Hongyu: "Except for the road up the mountain, I remember that other places have been planted with plants, so let's find the way up the mountain."
Jiang Wenxiu also agreed: "Yes, there are no trees planted on the road leading up the mountain!"
After listening to what Jiang Meng and Jiang Wenxiu said, Xu Hongyu nodded and said, "Then let's look for it. You two should take a look too."
Jiang Meng and Jiang Wenxiu nodded almost at the same time.
Xu Hongyu was driving the rubber boat while taking a detour.
Suddenly, Jiang Wenxiu raised his hand, pointed to a place not far away, and said to Jiang Meng and Xu Hongyu, "Look, isn't there a branch over there?"
After hearing Jiang Wenxiu's words, Xu Hongyu and Jiang Meng immediately looked in the direction Jiang Wenxiu pointed.
After a while, Xu Hongyu nodded and said, "There really are no branches. Let's go up from there."
As Xu Hongyu drove the rubber boat around in an area without branches, everyone was getting closer and closer to the tower!
Gradually, Xu Hongyu drove the rubber boat and stopped outside the tower.
Jiang Wenxiu said excitedly, "We're finally here."
Jiang Meng also saw clearly what Li Zita looked like.
Although from a distance or up close, one would think that the Plum Tower was built of wood.
But if you look closely, you will see some discoloration on the tower.
You can understand that the Plum Tower is actually built with cement and bricks, but it is just painted with a layer of paint on the outside.
In the original owner's memory, Jiang Meng knew that the Plum Tower was first used for viewing, but later, the Plum Tower was used as a place to store books.
There are usually a lot of people here, and they all like to come here to kill time. After all, there are not only books to read here, but the air is also quite good.
After Jiang Wenxiu sent Xu Hongyu and Jiang Meng to the tower, he said to them, "I'll go back and pick up Qin Wei and the others first."
Jiang Meng looked at Jiang Wenxiu who was about to leave and couldn't help but say, "Take the rifle, it's safer."
Jiang Wenxiu looked at the rifle in Jiang Meng's hand without saying anything.
Because Jiang Wenxiu knew that Jiang Meng was concerned about his safety, he took the gun.
After Jiang Wenxiu got the gun, he said to Jiang Meng and Xu Hongyu, "Wait for me here. Be careful and protect yourself."
After hearing this, Xu Hongyu nodded and said, "Don't worry, you can go and come back soon."
Jiang Wenxiu nodded and drove away in the rubber boat.
Although Jiang Wenxiu didn't know how to drive a rubber boat before, after going out to look for food for so many days, even the most incompetent people have learned how to drive a rubber boat.
Only when Jiang Wenxiu disappeared did Xu Hongyu turn around and say to Jiang Meng, "Let's go up. We don't know what's going on here."
After hearing this, Jiang Meng nodded.
Although there was no one on the floor they came from, Jiang Meng could sense the presence of someone upstairs!
Because Jiang Wenxiu left, the two backpacks that belonged to him were carried by Jiang Meng and Xu Hongyu.
Therefore, Jiang Meng and Xu Hongyu each carried three backpacks.
Jiang Meng looked at the frail Xu Hongyu and couldn't help but say, "Mom, why don't you carry them all on my back?"
After hearing what was said, Xu Hongyu said without turning her head: "Xiao Meng, you underestimate your mother. What are three backpacks?"
After Xu Hongyu finished speaking, she took the lead and walked ahead.
Jiang Meng shook his head helplessly and had to follow Xu Hongyu.
In the blink of an eye, Xu Hongyu and Jiang Meng had unknowingly walked through four floors and were heading towards the fifth floor.
Although the Lizi Tower looks small from a distance, it is actually very large and its floor heights are higher than those of ordinary houses!
One floor can be used as two floors for living, so although Jiang Meng and Xu Hongyu walked up four floors of stairs, if it is counted as living, they have already walked up eight floors!
Xu Hongyu panted and said, "Is there no one here?"
Xu Hongyu really wanted to find a place where there were people and stop, so that she could at least figure out what was going on here.
After hearing this, Jiang Meng said to Xu Hongyu, "Why don't we stop here? We are already quite far from the water."
Xu Hongyu immediately shook her head and said, "Let's go up again and give it a try."
Jiang Meng looked at Xu Hongyu's condition and couldn't help but say to her, "Give me your backpack."
After hearing Jiang Meng's words, Xu Hongyu wanted to straighten her shoulders to show that she could do it.
But when Xu Hongyu thrust forward, under the influence of gravity, she suddenly felt like she was falling backwards.
When Xu Hongyu was in a panic and trying to control her body and limbs.
Jiang Meng, who was quick-eyed and quick-handed, supported Xu Hongyu's back.
Otherwise, if Jiang Meng hadn't held on to her, Xu Hongyu would have fallen down the stairs.
Jiang Meng looked at Xu Hongyu, whose face showed a panic, and couldn't help but say, "Give me the backpack, and have a good rest."
After Xu Hongyu coughed dryly, she took off her backpack and said to Jiang Meng a little embarrassedly, "Xiao Meng, don't look at me like this now. When I was young, I was in great shape! Very good!"
