Chapter 493: This Time Is Different From The Past
Old General Zhang had already ordered to come down and let Jiang Liushi prepare a place for them to live.
On the way, someone found Jiang Liushi and Ran Xiyu, and then took them to a small community.
This community is a mid-range community in Jiangning before the end of the world, the environment is very good, the room assigned to them is a well-decorated four-bedroom and two-living room, electricity, cooking and heating are used briquettes, and the furniture is very clean.
"I can't imagine that after so many years, we will still see honeycomb coal." Zhang Hai couldn't help but sigh when he saw these briquettes.
There are coal mines in Jiangning, but after the end of the world, energy was scarce, and briquettes began to be used again.
For dinner, Ran Xiyu deliberately made more, packed it in a box, and carried another bag of rice, and went out with Jiang Liushi.
But when I came to the place where I passed during the day, the female workers had already changed their batch.
"We work in shifts here, and everyone is already off work during the day." The steward said.
Can you tell me Jiang Xiaochu's address? Ran Xiyu asked.
There is nothing to keep the address of an ordinary person secret, Jiang Liushi sent a cigarette to the steward, and he successfully got the address.
The steward was reluctant to smoke the cigarette, and carefully clamped it to his ear.
If he knew that this kind of scattered smoke was useless to Jiang Liushi, he could take out a pile of it casually, and he didn't know what it would be like.
It's a transaction, Jiang Liushi doesn't bother to take cigarettes out to do any trading, the amount is too small.
According to the address said by the steward, Ran Xiyu and Jiang Liushi came to a relatively remote residential area.
The more you walked, the more you felt the difference in the environment, the electricity began to diminish the lights, the houses on both sides became more old, and the construction sites and the city walls were closer, even the streets became dirty, and an indescribable strange smell filled the air.
Ran Xiyu looked at the house number, and finally came to the downstairs of a unit building.
"Who?"
When there was a knock on the door, a woman's voice came from inside.
"I'm a friend of Jiang Xiaochu." Ran Xiyu said.
Then a woman opened the door, she looked to be twenty-seven or eighteen years old, with lipstick on her mouth, and she was dressed quite well in the last days.
She glanced Ran Xiyu up and down and frowned.
"Are you looking for Jiang Xiaochu?" The woman asked.
"Yes, is Jiang Xiaochu here?"
"Not there."
"What about Uncle Jiang and Aunt Jiang?" Ran Xiyu continued to ask.
"No, no, no." The woman said impatiently.
At this moment, another voice came from inside the house: "What are you making all the noise?" ”
A man in his thirties walked out of it, wearing a uniform and feeling a little oily.
Originally, this man looked irritable, but when he saw Ran Xiyu at a glance, his expression changed: "Huh? Isn't this cherishing jade? ”
"Zhang Haojing? Why are you here? Ran Xiyu was stunned.
"This is my home." Zhang Haojing said.
"Come, Xiyu, come in quickly, don't stand outside." Zhang Haojing said enthusiastically.
Ran Xiyu's brows furrowed slightly: "What about Jiang Xiaochu and his uncle and aunt?" Isn't this their residence? ”
"Oh, I took them in. At this time, they are playing briquettes in the coal yard. Zhang Haojing said casually.
Playing briquettes in the coal yard...... Although Ran Xiyu has never been exposed to this kind of work, Jiang Liushi has some understanding.
It was really dirty and tiring physical work.
According to Ran Xiyu, Jiang Xiaochu's parents should be in their fifties, and they are still working at night. And Jiang Xiaochu is still working during the day, and he goes to work again at night, which is simply a continuous rotation.
"How could an uncle and aunt be like this? Aren't they protected in advance? Ran Xiyu asked.
"That was before. Now that I have come to Jiangning, how can I still have that kind of treatment, now I am supporting my family. Xiyu, it's rare for us to meet, come in for a meal. Why are you still stunned? Cook and go! Zhang Haojing turned to the woman and said.
"No need to cook, we've already eaten." Ran Xiyu said.
The woman glared at Zhang Haojing a little angrily, but then she saw the lunch box that Ran Xiyu was carrying: "Why are you still carrying things, so polite?" ”
"These things are for Jiang Xiaochu and his uncle and aunt." Ran Xiyu said.
"Actually, no, in terms of food, I didn't treat Jiang Xiaochu and them badly." Zhang Haojing said with a smile.
At this moment, there was the sound of someone going up the stairs from behind, and then Jiang Xiaochu and the Jiang couple walked up.
"Cherish the jade? Mr. Jiang? Jiang Xiaochu was stunned for a moment when he saw Ran Xiyu and Jiang Liushi standing at the door.
Ran Xiyu had been holding a cold face just now, and when she saw Jiang Xiaochu appear, she suddenly showed a smile: "Xiaochu, uncle and aunt are good." ”
Goodbye after the end of the world, the Jiang couple looks a lot older, with a tired face, but their temperament is still very good.
They were also surprised when they saw Ran Xiyu, it was estimated that Jiang Xiaochu had already told them about Ran Xiyu's situation, so they didn't mention anything about Ran Xiyu's relatives, but just asked Ran Xiyu about her living situation.
"Xiyu, how can you join the survivor team, the survivor team has no future, you still have to join the military and the government to have real stability and future. And girls just need to be stable. I see that you should leave the team and live with us, and I will arrange a good job for you. Zhang Haojing said on the side.
Ran Xiyu didn't even look at him, but handed over the things in his hand to Jiang Xiaochu and the Jiang couple: "These are a little bit of my thoughts." ”
"That's ......"
"Don't say no." Ran Xiyu said.
Jiang Xiaochu had no choice but to accept it, she opened the box, and was stunned.
The box contained roasted mutant beast meat, and a charming aroma immediately hit the face.
Zhang Haojing and his woman were stunned for a moment.
Mutant beast meat!
He is also a stranger now, and he works in the government, but the mutant beast meat he can get every month is also limited.
And this is not ordinary mutant beast meat, it is clearly the fatter part of mutant beast meat, and it is not a shriveled jerky, but fresh mutant beast meat, carefully cooked.
But after all, it is a team of survivors, and it is not uncommon to always hunt mutant beasts and take out a little mutant beast meat. It's just a waste to give it to ordinary people to eat.
This is only the first layer, open the second layer, and it contains a layer of vegetables. Verdant fresh vegetables!
At this time, Zhang Haojing's eyes widened, what is most lacking in the last days is not meat, but vegetables and fruits!
Fresh vegetables and fruits are not impossible to grow, and now the plants are mutating, but they can still be eaten. It's just that there is too little land, and the little vegetables and fruits grown are the first to be supplied to those scientists, and even the bigwigs of the army must be ranked behind.
At his level, I don't know how far he has gone.
Ordinary people, usually can eat a little soup boiled with diced dried vegetables, which is already good, eat fresh vegetables? It's really something you can't even think of.
Jiang Xiaochu and the Jiang couple are also unbelievable.
"And these." Jiang Liushi handed the rice to the Jiang couple.
The Jiang couple was still in shock, and they hurriedly shirked it, but they were forcibly stuffed into their hands by Ran Xiyu.
"Fifty catties of rice, this is too much, too much...... they work every day, and there are not many rations they can get in exchange, and these fifty catties of rice are already their rations for more than a month.
"And ......" Ran Xiyu took off a small backpack behind her.
These things were collected by the Stone Shadow team on the road, just some honey, canned fruit, and the like.
These things have an expiration date, and it is a pity that they expire, Ran Xiyu wanted to send something to Jiang Xiaochu this time, so she thought of these.
There are a lot of things like this in Jiangliushi's warehouse.
Many places that ordinary people can't go to, there are minibuses, and they are easy to go, and there are naturally more things to collect.
Seeing Jiang Liushi and Ran Xiyu take out so many things, Zhang Haojing and his woman were a little stunned.
That's too generous!
"Come on, come on, come to Xiaochu, I'll help you carry it. Oh, you're really breaking the bank......" Zhang Haojing reacted and hurriedly reached out to lift it, and at the same time, the woman also hurriedly reached over to grab the box that Jiang Xiaochu was carrying.
But at this moment, the woman suddenly flickered, and her eyes seemed to be confused.
"Don't touch it." Ran Xiyu said.
Her voice seemed like a command to the woman, and she nodded blankly, then slowly stepped aside, and stood there honestly.
"I don't dare to touch it, I don't dare to touch it." The woman muttered under her breath.
Zhang Haojing was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Ran Xiyu to be such a weird powerhouse! And it seems that the strength is definitely not weak!
"Xiyu, what are you doing here?" Zhang Haojing said.
Ran Xiyu's temperament became cold again, she looked at Zhang Haojing, and said: "These things are all given to Jiang Xiaochu and my uncle and aunt, if you dare to touch them, I will not spare you." In addition, if I know that you are not good to Jiang Xiaochu and your uncle and aunt, I will not let you go. Also, don't call me Xiyu, I'm not that familiar with you. ”
As soon as she heard Zhang Haojing affectionately call her "cherish jade", Ran Xiyu felt very uncomfortable.
She is a very arrogant character in her own right.
Zhang Haojing was stunned for a moment, and was looked at by Ran Xiyu's eyes, and he also had a feeling that he wanted to nod his head in agreement immediately. But then he reacted suddenly, and said with some annoyance: "Ran Xiyu, why are you teaching me? Before the end of the world, you were so high-minded, and after the end of the world, do you think you are still the princess of the Ran Group? I'm telling you, it's not the same time! You're in front of me, but that's ......"
But at this time, he could not continue.
Because he didn't see it clearly at all, the young man beside Ran Xiyu had already put a gun against his head.
He didn't know how it happened, as if the gun was there.
A creepy sensation immediately jumped up from his back.
If the other party wants to kill him, will he have a chance to react?
"You...... What are you doing? You can't kill people casually here......" Zhang Haojing said.
"I don't care." Jiang Liushi said lightly.
Zhang Haojing felt that Jiang Liushi was not talking big, his eyes were very cold and calm, he would really pull the trigger.
Who is this Nima? The people in the security zone actually dared to ignore the deterrence of the army and dare to say the word murder?
"Ran Xiyu...... No, Miss Ran, I know, I listen to you! Let your friends calm down. Zhang Haojing rolled his throat and said quickly.
He confessed, he felt that Jiang Liushi would really kill him casually.
Ran Xiyu looked at him coldly, glanced at Jiang Liushi again, and said softly: "Brother Jiang, let him go." ”
"Zhang Haojing, you're right, it's different now, I just hated you before, but I couldn't do anything to you. But now, if you do something that disgusts me again, I won't keep you without Brother Jiang's action. Ran Xiyu said coldly to Zhang Haojing.
"Xiaochu, let's go, if there's anything, you can come here to find us." Ran Xiyu told Jiang Xiaochu where they lived.
Zhang Haojing listened from the sidelines, and he was even more horrified.
The people who live there are all elites in the security zone, and they belong to the protected community.
Although it is not as good as the real core area of the security zone, it is not something that a person like him can live in.
He originally felt that after the end of the world, he was at a higher level than Ran Xiyu, and he could finally make this proud girl of the sky bow her head in front of him.
But I didn't expect it...... Ran Xiyu is still so much higher than him.
Moreover, he is still dismissive of him......
The boyfriend she brought was also much stronger than him.
