"Xixi!" Meng Lu was anxious and ran two steps to catch up with her, "Youxi! Wait for me!"

"What's the matter?" You Xi stopped.

"I haven't seen you these days. Are you still angry with me?"

You Xi really doesn't like this kind of roundabout way of talking: "I'm asking you, what's wrong with calling me?"

Meng Lu looked at her without saying anything for a moment. Her attention was attracted by the other party's clothes. The black down jacket was firmly touching her thighs, and she looked thin and soft. There was a furry croaker behind the collar, so she was definitely very gentle in her clothes.

There is no winter in the island, and naturally there are no down jackets that have strong cold resistance. The rescue team distributed warm clothes such as blankets and velvet jackets. Even if you wear a few more layers of blankets, it is still cold. What's more, it's impossible for a person to send out a few velvet jackets in the current situation.

Most of the survivors who stayed in Wanghaishan Hotel when the tsunami came, retained the cold-proof clothes they wore from their own country. Such down jackets were not very valuable.

Meng Lu remembered that there was a similar light down jacket in her box, because it was winter when they set off in Beijing. After coming to Haiguo, she couldn't wait to take off her bloated winter clothes and stuff it into the bottom layer of the box. She disliked her at that time, and now she missed that dress.

It was obviously a tour group to play, but why did You Xi be so lucky? Suddenly, a strange idea emerged from Meng Lu's heart, absurd and nonsense.

Meng Lu shuddered and asked directly: "Did you know that there would be a tsunami in the morning?"

"What are you talking about?" You Xi's expression remained unchanged.

Meng Lu looked at You Xi, and the other party had doubts and confusion in his eyes, but he was not guilty or panic.

Yes, how is this possible?

She remembered her purpose of calling You Xi, and suppressed the anger and absurd thoughts in her heart due to the other party's cold attitude: "You have also seen what happened just now. Fang Zichen is a scumbag in central air conditioning. I don't want to live with these two people anymore. Do you live in Shanbei? I heard that there are all B&Bs there. Although the conditions are not as good as here, many rooms are empty. I want to live with you."

"This is your business, don't discuss it with me."

"You Xi! Why are you like this..."

Her voice was lifted back, and her tone became softer, "Xixi, we are friends, and we need to take care of each other in the disaster. You have to spend money on your own when living in a homestay. You also know that all my belongings were lost in the tsunami. I just want to ask you to borrow some money, or live in a room with you. And..."

She said, approaching her and pressing her voice down, "I have a lot of food and drink here, and I can take everything away..."

Meng Lu understood what she said. She had no money, but wanted to live in the B&B area, so she needed You Xi's help, but she didn't ask her for help in vain. She could contribute supplies and prepare to take away all the supplies of the three people.

Anyway, Fang Zichen will take people to the opposite side now, and there is no one in the room.

"If you have a lot of supplies, it is very easy to stay in the B&B area. Now some places there are no longer any money, so you can use supplies instead of room rates."

In You Xi's opinion, Meng Lu doesn't need her help at all. "I still have something to do. You shouldn't have much time, so don't waste each other."

After saying that, she bypassed the other party and walked towards the hotel's vice-chamber.

Meng Lu then realized that her friend who used to be extremely coaxed and who was obedient to her was already a thing of the past. Now You Xi is cold and alienated, and she is not something she can coax her in a few words.

"Forget it!" She gritted her teeth, turned around and ran towards the safety passage of the main building.

She didn't have much time, so the green tea bitch must have nothing to do. She probably would come back from the opposite side in a while. She had to go back to her room to pack up and leave early.

You Xi had seen the registration cards that Yuan Qi and the other two received, so she knew their floor and room numbers.

The secondary building is much shorter than the main building. This building has fewer family suites, most of which are single and double rooms, and are provided for backpackers who like to travel alone.

Because the room is small, most of the survivors arranged here are based on the same family, and no strangers are arranged to live together. This makes the atmosphere and environment here much better and more harmonious than the main building.

However, there are occasional exceptions.

As soon as You Xi stepped onto the corridor on the fifth floor, he heard a scream. A dark-skinned man ran towards the stairs quickly. Someone stopped him halfway, but was frightened by the knife he swung. The man kicked the other person away, hugged the big bag in his arms and continued running.

"See a way to stop him!"

"Be careful! He has a knife!"

...

The man waved the knife and looked ferocious: "Get out of here!"

Several sounds came at the same time, and the cry of the child was mixed with the sound of the child.

You Xi argued the familiar voice here. She took a step sideways and thoughts, a three-section stick slid out of the sleeve of the down jacket. She waved her hand and the three-section sticks opened. She waved her face toward the other person's face without any expression.

With a loud blow, the other party saw her give in half, but he didn't expect that she would take this move in the middle, and was caught off guard. With her strength and his impetus, a deep blood mark was thrown out of his face. He wailed and his steps were in chaos. You Xi took advantage of the other party's body shaking and thrust hard at the other party's arm.

This time the other party's hand shook, and the big bag in his arms fell to the ground. He subconsciously reached out to pick it up. You Xi took advantage of the situation and took the opportunity to fold his arm and stepped on his wrist with force.

You Xi stretched out his hand and supported Yuan Ning, who was shaking his wound because of his force chasing someone.

"Thank you." The other party's lips turned pale, but he showed a helpless smile at her, "I owe you again."

A moment later, in Yuan Qi and the other two's room, Lin Wu, who was notified, treated Yuan Ning's abdominal wounds and took the gauze and tools to the medical box one by one. "It's only three days, and the wound cannot heal so quickly. Next time I'll show you something."

"Thank you." Yuan Ning pulled the clothes and nodded at him, "Okay, I understand, I'll find out then I'll find other doctors."

Lin Wu laughed angry at her and turned to see You Xi: "Thank you today. The rescue team said that he was a habitual criminal. After the tsunami broke out, the personnel were in chaos. There were two police station detention centers that ran away from many criminals. They did not go to the information department to register because of their identity problems. There have been burglaries in several hotels and hotels in the past three days. One of them you caught just now."

Nowadays, there are too many people on the mountain and the affairs are complicated. After the power limit, the surveillance has been stopped. The original electronic door in the room cannot be locked, and the survivors themselves have changed it to various types of key door locks, latch locks, or simply not locked. It is inevitable that someone will take advantage of the situation.

Most of the auxiliary buildings of this hotel are based on families, with more women and fewer men. Sometimes when receiving supplies, two adults go down together, leaving only one child to guard the room. Someone has set his sights on this place after inspection.

Lin Wu stayed in the room for a while and naturally exchanged some information with You Xi. He first talked about the various situations in the hotel area, and finally asked her about the situation in the homestay area.

When You Xi was talking, when he saw Lin Wu, Yuan Ning had a premonition when he felt thoughtful.

Sure enough, after Lin Wu left, Yuan Ning immediately proposed to transfer the accommodation.

“We have both money and supplies.”

Yuan Ning looked at Yuan Qi, "My sister is a conservative person. She brought a lot of cash out and didn't pull her backpack when she was tidying up. There were more and more people here, and she lost contact with the outside world, and it suddenly cooled down again, and sooner or later it would be messy.

The rescue team members were all surviving policemen on the island. The government staff gathered together. Not only were there many people, but there were no weapons to help. However, they supervised all the supplies on the island today. Once chaos arises, the situation will be difficult to control."

Yuan Qi was also shocked by what happened today. She went downstairs to get supplies today. Yuan Ning heard a strange sound next door and went over to take a look. Unexpectedly, the fifteen- or six-year-old boy was blocked and tied with his hands and threw him in a corner of the room. A strange man was fetching their supplies.

The people living in this room went to the supermarket to collect goods with them before. Everyone knew each other and were separated from each other. They would take care of each other's trivial matters, but they didn't expect to encounter this scene.

Yuan Ning's wound has not healed yet, and the other party threatened the boy, so she was very passive and let the other party run away. Fortunately, You Xi appeared.

The boy also had a trace on his arm, and a lot of blood was bleeding. Fortunately, nothing happened and nothing was lost. But Yuan Qi looked at the other party and thought of her son. Yuanyuan was only three and a half years old. What if she encountered this situation?

Although the B&B area is not necessarily very safe, there are few people there. As long as you give Yuan Ning a chance to recuperate well, when her wound heals, you will no longer have to be as passive as you are now.

In the end, You Xi took Yuan Qi and the other two back to the B&B area.

When they left, the woman in the family of three heard the noise, but she only stuck her head out, looked at them for a moment and asked where they were going, then retracted back to the room, without even saying thank you, as if she was blaming her son for not being able to protect the good person for the injury and bleeding of his arm.

Yuan Ning sneered, Yuan Qi sighed, patted her sister on the shoulder, carried her duffel bag, and left the auxiliary building with You Xi.

Based on the original housing prices, Yuan Ning and the other two added a bag of five kilograms of rice, a bag of ham sausage, five packs of instant noodles and ten potatoes to exchange for the accommodation rights of a family suite.

When You Xi accompanied them to act as translator, the boss and the boss's wife were holding the radio station they got from somewhere. She also heard it a few times. The situation outside was still not good. The island countries around the sea country and even the mainland areas farther away were hit by the tsunami.

The boss and the boss's wife were worried, so in addition to the money, they also required that they had to have food. The original house price was plus a moderate amount of food, so that the suite could keep them living there.

Yuan Ning thought this was more cost-effective, so she took out her mobile phone and recorded the conditions for the agreement between the other party and herself on the housing price, and then moved in.

This room is right downstairs of Yuan Ning, but it does not face north, but south, with no balcony and two windows.

Looking north, I still saw a black ocean of construction waste and corpses floating. Yuan Qi’s psychological tolerance was not that good. In addition, there was a round room, so it was better to face the south.

The location of this homestay is really not very good. So far, there are only four young women from Beijing who are facing the north on the fifth floor and the south on the second floor. Then there is Yuan Qi's family living on the fourth floor.

But Yuan Ning was very satisfied. All the conditions here meet her requirements. Yuan Qi was even more satisfied because there was a public kitchen on the first floor of the homestay, which contained kitchen utensils, dishes, chopsticks, and stoves to burn firewood.

When she was a child, she lived in the countryside, and the extremely difficult things for others were simply a piece of cake for her.

So at noon that day, when You Xi looked at the hot pot that had been halfway through the previous day on the storage rack of Xingwu Warehouse, the bacon, carrot and egg fried rice made the day before yesterday, the soft and fragrant cheese pizza next to it, the crispy and crispy fried chicken, the fresh Northeastern cuisine, the fresh and spicy Sichuan-Xiang cuisine, the fresh and exquisite sushi, various braised foods, noodle soup, wontons, vermicelli soup, spicy rice noodles, fried dumplings... and so on, all kinds of takeaways that have not started eating, and when they were struggling with what to eat at noon today, Yuanyuan wrapped in dumplings knocked on her door with her short legs.

"Sister Xixi, my mother and aunt said... I want my sister to have dinner together!" He held a toy dinosaur in his hand, wearing a long down jacket with a hood, and his little face was warm and red.

Yuan Qi is a very careful person. Even though she is in a tropical island, she didn't forget to put a few pieces of warm clothes and pants out of China when packing her big backpack.

She probably just thought that she could wear it when she was rescued, but she accidentally responded to the cooling crisis.

Yuanyuan forgot the invitation line halfway through, turned to look at her aunt at the other end of the corridor for help, and finally finished the invitation successfully.

Yuan Ning walked over slowly and touched Yuanyuan's head: "I owe you a few favors, and I don't know how to thank you. After thinking about it, I can only invite you to have some hot food. My sister cooked the meal and there was no food. Come and warm her belly together."

You·In fact, I have never eaten dry food. I am so hot every time I have gained three pounds. Xi only hesitated for two seconds before responding: "Okay, I'll lock the balcony and get down right away."

"Yuanyuan goes down and wait for her sister!" Yuanyuan was obviously happier than Yuan Ning. Although he was young, he could still sense the tense atmosphere in the air these days, especially today when he saw the scene of his aunt fighting with others.

Today, You Xi went downstairs to have dinner, which was a very happy thing for him.

After Yuan Ning and Yuanyuan went downstairs, You Xi entered the room and locked the balcony door, then took two boxes of tomato and beef brisket-flavored self-heating hotpot from Xingwu Warehouse and put them in the backpack.

The suite downstairs is large, with one bedroom and one living room, and a long table for six people to sit on.

At this moment, four bowls of rice, a plate of fried lunch meat with carrots, a plate of fried potatoes with shredded carrots, fried steamed buns wrapped in eggs, stir-fried cabbage, and a seaweed egg soup.

It seems simple to have four meals and one soup, but it is not simple at all. Rice, cooking oil, carrots, potatoes and other things are easy to make, but eggs and cabbage are not that easy.

Because this type is not easy to store, the inventory is not large. In the past three days, survivors have only received one or two fresh vegetable leaves and vegetable soup. The eggs have been stopped from supplying yesterday.

However, after thinking about it, You Xi understood who got these dishes.

It should be Lin Wu.

It is estimated that he and Yuan Ning had some private agreements or cooperation since they went to the supermarket to get supplies. Of course, this is just a guess and cannot be 100% certain. After all, it is someone else's private affairs, who doesn't have a secret?

Just like she took out the food now: two boxes of self-heating hot pot, three boxes of coconut drinks, a large bag of jerky and two apples, put them on the coffee table aside and said it was a gift. She probably thought Yuan Ning was thinking about the same thing in her heart - after all, when she left Ruonaya Hotel, she only brought a big backpack.

Self-heating hot pot is obviously not a product of L Island. Although it is more than enough to put it in, ordinary people will pick up the most important dry goods when they escape. Self-heating hot pot occupies more space and is not considered a dry goods.

But her offshore plan needs help. If her plan is implemented, some secrets will inevitably be revealed. She is also weighing the test this time.

"Let's come here to have some casual food together, why are you still bringing gifts?" Yuan Qi didn't think too much. When she saw the hot pot, she thought it was brought from China by You Xi.

This thing was usually nothing, but now it was too precious in this situation. She wanted to refuse, but You Xi refused to take it back, so she finally accepted it. But she silently thought in her heart that she could leave a portion for the other party when cooking porridge, cooking and hot food in the future.

After the meal, Yuan Qi wanted to deliver dishes, chopsticks and other dishes to the kitchen downstairs. She waited until the incoming water was called from 7 to 8 pm and then washed them clean. She used pure water for lunch, which was almost on the scale and did not dare to waste it at all.

You Xi helped Yuan Qi clean up, and even Yuanyuan used a tissue to carefully wipe the table.

Afterwards, Yuan Qi took his son into the bedroom to coax him to take a nap, and You Xi took the initiative to ask Yuan Ning to have a chat.

"Do you want to leave by yourself?" Yuan Ning was a little surprised. She originally thought the other party wanted to talk to her about supplies.

You Xi nodded: "The scope of this tsunami is far beyond our imagination. Instead of waiting here, it is better to save yourself."
