Chapter 171: Jerky of unknown origin
After chatting with Yu Yanqun for a few words, they learned that after Cheng Yun and the three of them on the eleventh floor were arrested last time, their 1102 home was empty, and they couldn't repay the stolen food at all.
After deliberation, the residents decided to punish the person responsible for cleaning the corridor and garbage, and also had to collect rainwater for the stolen family.
Originally, the three of them were still working yesterday, but today they hurriedly packed their luggage and left without turning their heads as soon as it was sunny, and some residents also saw the three of them running to Building No. 6.
Chen Yuanyuan didn't care about the life and death of the three people, and it was a good thing to leave Building 2 when he learned of the potential danger, but he didn't expect them to defect to Building 6, which had been asking for supplies from them.
This made Chen Yuanyuan even more curious about Building No. 6, why did he keep forcing them to let Cheng Yun and his party voluntarily defect.
After the two said goodbye to Yu Yanqun and Chu Junyi, they went downstairs one after another, and heard in the stairwell along the road that many people set up stalls in the open space of the community, so Chen Yuanyuan decided to go to the stalls.
After stepping out of Building 2, I happened to see five tall men carrying several cardboard boxes in Building 6 opposite, each with a dark red cloth strip tied to their arms.
Chen Yuanyuan looked at the five people with a wooden expression, and there were residents along the road who knew them and didn't say a word, which made people curious about what happened in Building No. 6, and planned to see if they could find some wind in the market later.
Chen Yuanyuan and Zhang Linlin walked to the stall in the center of the community, and suddenly saw thirty or forty stalls, like a small bazaar.
With prices soaring outside the community and limited supplies, many people either lack cash in the morning or fail to get to the market, so they come to the bazaar to try their luck as soon as they finish eating.
Most of the stalls are also mainly cash transactions, but there are also many stalls that accept barter.
Chen Yuanyuan and Zhang Linlin visited a few stalls, The materials are mainly some daily necessities, occasionally one or two instant noodles and self-heating hot pot, but after asking the price, it costs a few hundred yuan, and the price is really amazing.
Zhang Linlin was picking out some children's headdresses at a stall, while Chen Yuanyuan was looking at some self-made rat traps at a lame old man's stall.
"Look, there's jerky here, it's only two catties of rice for one catty of jerky, and you can try it!"
"True or not, I haven't eaten meat in a long time."
Chen Yuanyuan heard the conversation between the two aunts passing by, so he looked in the direction they were walking, and saw that there were many people around the stalls of the two men in Building 6.
Now there is meat left to sell, either from wealthy families, or at all
Chen Yuanyuan was about to take a look, but the lame uncle at the stall called out to him.
"Girl, I don't like to eat this meat." The lame uncle said.
"Uncle, why can't you eat it?" Chen Yuanyuan guessed as soon as he heard what the uncle said, so he pretended to ask ignorantly.
"This meat, anyway, you don't know what kind of meat you eat into your stomach for the sake of appetite." Seeing Chen Yuanyuan's ignorant appearance, the uncle couldn't bear to tell her the truth.
"It can't be human flesh, right?" Chen Yuanyuan asked tentatively.
"Yes! Be quiet. The uncle looked around nervously.
"Uncle, tell me what you know." Chen Yuanyuan saw that the uncle didn't want to say more, so he reached into his backpack and took out a box of cigarettes in the space.
"Then I'll clean up the stalls first." The uncle is about to clean up the stall.
"It's okay, I'll call my friend to show you the stall." After that, Chen Yuanyuan called Zhang Linlin to come over.
The lame uncle took Chen Yuanyuan to a corner, looked around nervously, lit a cigarette and told Chen Yuanyuan what he had observed.
The lame uncle, who used to work in the incineratorium, saw that today's help was well paid, so he responded to the call to work as a helper, and helped burn the corpse outside the garbage room all morning.
In the other buildings, three or four people carried the wrapped corpses with wooden planks, but the people in Building 6 carried them in woven bags, one by one, which looked quite easy.
Originally, I had been busy and didn't pay much attention to it, thinking it was a child's corpse, so it was so light, but after putting it in the fire and burning, I only saw that the woven bag was full of bones and some internal organs, and there was not even a whole corpse.
"Anyway, don't mention pigs, cattle and sheep, some people believe what they make up." The lame uncle shook his head and said.
"Do you know anything about Building Six?" Chen Yuanyuan asked.
"Well," the lame uncle raised his eyebrows and looked at Chen Yuanyuan's bag.
"It's the last pack, say it." Chen Yuanyuan took out another pack of cigarettes in his bag.
"Building 6 now has a sect called the Eat-Sun Sect, and you can see that they have a blood-stained cloth belt tied to their hands." The lame man lit another cigarette and continued.
"Now the surviving people in Building 6 have been brainwashed, and I heard that the mastermind is doing pyramid schemes or telecommunications fraud, and they talk one by one, and many people who have been excluded from other floors have joined them." The lame uncle said that, and then enjoyed smoking a cigarette.
"Gone?" Chen Yuanyuan said unhappily, reaching out to grab the cigarette from the uncle.
"Don't, don't, and I'll tell you a secret." The lame uncle was afraid that Chen Yuanyuan would take back the cigarette, so he hurriedly said.
"Say." Chen Yuanyuan looked at the uncle unhappily, and wanted to fool her with a few words.
"There is a disfigured person in the garbage room, he is Xiao He, the former head of Building No. 6, and I don't know how he survived in the garbage heap, he hides when others ask him, you can go to him and ask about Building No. 6." The lame uncle said that, and ran back to the stall with a cigarette.
Chen Yuanyuan returned to the stall and saw that Zhang Linlin had already sold a few goods for the uncle, and thought that he had also taken two packs of cigarettes from him, so he took a few rat traps for the lame uncle as wages.
It doesn't matter if the lame uncle is lame, two packs of cigarettes are enough to cover the whole stall, Zhang Linlin said goodbye to the uncle, and then pulled Chen Yuanyuan to continue to wander around the bazaar.
Chen Yuanyuan was not interested in the items in the bazaar, but Zhang Linlin was very happy to buy them, bargaining with the stall owner hard, and buying a lot of small jewelry and children's products in a circle.
Zhang Linlin mostly uses cash to buy some non-daily necessities, and she carries large bags and small bags in both hands.
Chen Yuanyuan noticed that someone was eyeing the two of them, so he told Zhang Linlin that he would go to the underground garage to carry the rice he bought this morning upstairs.
Zhang Linlin originally wanted to ask Chen Yuanyuan when he bought the rice, and besides, didn't the car receive space?
But after coming into contact with Chen Yuanyuan's eyes, he immediately made a sound, and followed obediently with one or two bags.
