I survived with my sister in the doomsday

Chapter 118 Searching for the Crystal

Lin Lin, Bian Hui and I went downstairs with each other. When we got to the 15th floor, we ran into Sun Zhibin, who lived on this floor and pretended to be unintentional but was blocking us intentionally. He stared at Bian Hui and asked me curiously: Did this girl move in yesterday? How come there is suddenly a new tenant?

I don't know what he is planning, and I don't want to talk to him, but I can't help asking: People rent houses at the sales office and register them, if you are curious, just go to the sales office and ask. I thought to myself, it's none of your business, and it's annoying to be sneaky all day long.

When Sun Zhibin saw my attitude, he was also very angry and said impatiently: Why don't you start the renovation now? It will disturb our family's rest?

I answered him: Before the earthquake, the city also stipulated that renovations could be done at certain times of the day. How could it be prohibited to do so during non-rest time? If you find it too noisy, you can move and buy a villa!

Sun Zhibin gritted his teeth and said hatefully: Don't think I don't know, you families must have some unspeakable secrets in your homes, don't let me find out!

He laughed at me and said: Since you know we have a shocking secret, you still dare to talk to me like this, aren't you afraid that we will kill you to silence you?

Seeing how disdainful I was of him, Sun Zhibin was a little afraid of this villain. He shouted, "Wait for me!" But his body honestly shrank back and closed the door.

When I was leaving the community, I passed by the shop on the first floor where my grandmother and her family lived, and took a look at what a few people were doing.

I saw the two brothers were about to go out to fetch water, and my grandmother was sitting in the room without moving. I later learned that Wang Musen’s wife was Zhu Qing’er, and she was tidying up the room. I said she was there to give them the money they had paid for the water they had delivered last month. Ten thousand yuan.

Wang Musen, who took the money, suddenly yelled at me: Huo Fei, shouldn't the price be raised? Rice is so expensive now. How can you do business if you can't even afford rice with this little money? His voice was vulgar and unreasonable.

I calculated that I gave them rice last month, and that bag weighed 50 kilograms. How could they have eaten it up so quickly? I also turned cold and replied to him: I can only offer this job. If you think the salary is too little, you don’t have to do it.

Wang Mubai was furious: You evil capitalist, you are so bad, you eat good food every day, but you make us unable to afford even rice?

I immediately blamed him: Whether you can afford the food is not my business. You can also find another job. This has nothing to do with me!

This group of people are really ungrateful, ungrateful people who can never be tamed.

Liu suddenly jumped up and said to me sternly: Huo Fei, we agreed before that you would give me 5,000 yuan a month for living expenses. Now in addition to money, you have to give me a bag of rice. Did you hear me?

She looked so proud as if she were my master.

Although my space is full of all kinds of food, for these people, if I easily give them food, not only will I not get any benefit, but it may bring endless troubles and bad consequences. Once entangled by them, I will fall into an endless vortex of demands, which often have no return and may even make the already tense relationship between us even more tense.

How should I deal with them? This really makes me feel very embarrassed. If they know how to repay their kindness, it would be fine, but the fact is not so. Even though I tried my best to find a job for Wang Musen, they still resented me, and their eyes were full of indignation, thinking that I was leisurely and comfortable all day long, enjoying the fruits of others' labor, while they still had to work hard to carry water. However, they seemed to have forgotten that the job of carrying water was actually a job with a high salary and a high return rate!

Faced with the situation, I had no choice but to sigh helplessly. In the end, I paid my grandmother 5,000 yuan a month for living expenses as I promised her and left. I really didn't want to argue with them any more.

I now seem to have completely broken away from the cowardly and timid me of the past. I used to be obedient and didn't dare to resist, but now this weakness has gradually left me. Facing these rubbish characters no longer makes me feel afraid or uneasy. On the contrary, I can deal with them with a firm and calm attitude. At this moment, I know that I have been reborn and have enough strength and capital to defend my dignity and honor. I will never show weakness or succumb to others easily, and I don't want to be in a disadvantaged position in any occasion. Whether in words or actions, I must show my true self!

Today the sun is shining brightly, as if covering the whole world with a golden veil; the air is so fresh that people can't help but take a few deep breaths. Although there has been no rain for a long time, resulting in a shortage of water resources, the tenacious plants have not withered, but have flourished in the land that is unattended and far away from industrial pollution.

These plants gradually spread out, like a green ocean, covering and "digesting" the ruins in the city bit by bit. The bodies buried under the ruins became the nutrients they needed to thrive, continuously supplying life force. In this scene of desolation and vitality, nature shows its strength and resilience in its own unique way.

Following the direction of the two men, Lin Lin passed by the sign of Tianshui Village during the first earthquake but did not stop the car.

Bian Hui said that she and her sister were riding electric bikes to their grandmother's house that day and were just returning home. When the first earthquake occurred, they had just left her grandmother's house. When the second earthquake occurred, they happened to pass by the sign pointing to Tianshui Village. She stopped the car and rested here with her sister for a while.

According to their recollections, the exact location is within this range!

Lin Lin and I carefully felt this section of the road. Lin Lin said that she couldn't see clearly and the feeling was very weak. Lin Lin said that it might be because the crystal was buried too deep, or it was not as energetic as our crystal, so she had this feeling. I also agreed with his point of view. If it was buried more than ten meters underground, it would definitely not be possible for the two of us to dig it with shovels.

Bian Hui suggested that there was a factory selling agricultural machinery not far from her home. What if we went there to get an excavator?

Lin Lin and I were immediately enlightened. Why hadn't we thought of this? We praised Bian Hui for her cleverness.

On the way, I was worried about what would happen if the farm machinery was driven away by someone else. When we followed the road and let Bian Hui lead the way, I realized that my worries were in vain. This place was very remote and the road was not dredged at all. There were cracks and obstacles all the way. Even electric bicycles could not be ridden. We could only walk to get through.

After walking for less than half an hour, we saw a large yard of a large factory. There were several agricultural machinery parked in the yard, but they were all old machines displayed there, looking like a pile of scrap metal that could be scrapped at any time.

We went into the farm machinery factory and searched in the yard to see if there was a suitable excavator. We found a small excavator at the back of the yard. This tonnage was just right for small-scale work. When we were about to put the excavator into the space, someone suddenly stopped us and asked, "What are you doing?"

The sound was rough and empty, which scared us and made us look towards the source of the sound.
