Chapter 21
In early October, rainwater flooded the fourth floor.

Residents living on the fifth and sixth floors began to panic. They wanted to move upstairs in advance, but there were no vacant houses in the entire building, so they had to go door-to-door to ask others if they could squeeze together.

But at this juncture, who would dare to let outsiders into the house?They had no choice but to find the residents on the first to fourth floors who moved into the vacant houses first, and offered to live with them.

But the five families, including Sister He, refused to accept them, and even drove them away with violent words.

While the two groups were arguing endlessly, someone showed a fruit knife and stabbed Sister He's husband, who had a high posture.

A chaotic battle was also triggered.

"Someone was robbed again?" Chi Yue and Wen Qizhou came back from a trip, and suddenly heard screams and cries from the tenth floor.

Wen Qizhou followed the sound and raised his head.

Coincidentally, I saw three men holding bloody fruit knives and running down in panic.

He immediately pulled Chi Yue away, his eyes fell on their trembling hands, and he said in a low voice, "It doesn't look like robbery."

The three people quickly disappeared before their eyes. Out of curiosity, Chi Yue took a look inside when passing by the tenth floor.

"Lao Li, wake up!" Sister He, who collapsed on the ground, wailed loudly as she hugged her husband, who was bleeding from his chest.

Her daughter called "Dad" with a pale face, and clasped her hands on his chest, trying to stop his bleeding.

Even so, the blood would still ooze from her fingers, land on the ground tick-tock-tock-tock-tock-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick on her heart.

"He's out of breath." The middle-aged man next to him, whose arm was scratched, probed Lao Li's breath, and sighed heavily.

The mother and daughter were even more devastated.

Sister He suddenly grabbed the knife from the middle-aged man's hand, stood up against the wall: "I'm going to kill them! Kill them!"

She stumbled and ran to the stairs, Chi Yue sideways avoided her shoulder a second before she was about to hit him.

"Hey!" Her daughter came to her senses and shouted at Chi Yue: "Stop my mother quickly, don't let her go downstairs!"

Chi Yue didn't move.

Sister He was obviously stimulated. If she prevented the other party from taking revenge at this time, the tip of the knife might still be aimed at her.

Why would she ask for trouble.

Seeing Sister He disappear behind the passage door, her daughter Li Danmeng asked angrily, "Didn't you hear what I said?"

"I heard."

"Then why didn't you stop?! Do you know what my mother will face when she goes downstairs? How can she beat those people?"

"How does she have something to do with me?" Chi Yue glanced at Li Danmeng who was walking towards her, and stared at those healthy legs jokingly: "You are not disabled, don't you know how to stop yourself?"

"You—"

Li Danmeng stared at Chi Yue fiercely, as if using her as an outlet to vent her emotions, and raised her right hand high to give her a slap.

The waving hand came with a strong wind, which showed that she had exerted all her strength and wanted to teach Chi Yue a profound lesson.

Chi Yue, who was about to grab her and fan her back, before he could free his hand, the person in front of him was kicked down by Wen Qizhou.

Just heard the sound of "bang".

Li Danmeng, who was kicked down, slammed on the passage door, holding the back of his head with stares in his eyes, his five sense organs squeezed together in pain.

She screamed, then cried and turned back to the group of people standing behind to decide: "Uncle, they bullied me!"

"Dan Meng, stop making trouble." They had just fought with people on the fifth and sixth floors, so they didn't have the energy to meddle in her business.

The middle-aged man frowned and said: "Your mother doesn't know what's going on yet, we have to find her first."

Li Danmeng, who had no one to support her, became mute.

She bit her lower lip tightly, and looked at Wen Qizhou and Chi Yue with resentment in her eyes, wishing to kill them with her eyes.

"You don't want your eyeballs anymore?" Chi Yue took out the dagger at her waist and waved it in front of her: "Then I dug it for you?"

For a moment, Li Danmeng really felt her killing intent, his legs began to tremble in fright, and he was about to lose his footing.

It's very boring to be unpromising.

Someone smoothed things out with a smile: "Dan Meng has just lost a loved one, and she is not mentally normal yet, so don't bother with her."

"Then you have to take good care of people." Wen Qizhou said with a smile: "Don't go out one day, and your eyes will disappear."

"sure."

Those present said they would tell Sister He, after all, it was not their duty to look after Li Danmeng, and no one wanted to take care of it.

Li Danmeng's heart went cold.

She understood her uncle's attitude, and she didn't dare to provoke the couple anymore, she clenched the sleeves of the people beside her and walked downstairs.

Not long after, a shrill cry resounded in the dirty corridor, expressing her sadness.

*
"Do you know?" Yao Chengwei and Zhao Peng came to 2601 chatting with two bags of melon seeds: "Sister He's couple are dead!"

"I know." Hearing the shout, they guessed that Sister He who went downstairs to take revenge was gone.

Chi Yue: "But we don't know the reason."

Halfway through eating melon at noon, Li Danmeng suddenly rushed out to make trouble, so he didn't have time to inquire about the specific situation.

Yao Chengwei baba narrated the whole story: "The two families on the fifth floor have already occupied Sister He's house and supplies."

"Their daughter was driven away?"

"Yes." He tossed a few melon seeds into his mouth, chewed them twice and continued, "It is said that she lives in a neighbor's house now."

Zhao Peng said anxiously: "I think people on the seventh and eighth floors also want to move up, and there will definitely be more disturbances then."

"Don't worry." Wen Qizhou poured them two cups of Pu'er, and pushed towards the opposite side: "After all, people without houses are in the minority, and they don't necessarily have to occupy other people's homes."

The residents at the bottom are not all skilled, presumably they will be more inclined to solve this matter in a gentle way.

For example, renting a bedroom for supplies.

"It makes sense." Yao Chengwei was not as anxious as Zhao Peng, he sipped his tea: "Did you go out to find supplies today?"

Chi Yue nodded: "Yes."

When she and Wen Qizhou went out, they both walked around the outside twice, and after throwing out the trash, they took out the materials in the space and put on a show.

It is impossible to get into the water.

They don't lack things, so there is no need to risk encountering crocodiles and work hard.

"You didn't encounter any sharks, did you?" What Yao Chengwei was most concerned about at the moment was where the ocean overlord swam.

"No."

"Then I'm relieved." He paused, and mentioned the business: "Do you have time tonight? I'll treat you to duck hot pot, and I'll let you meet Yu Qingxi by the way."

"Where did you get the duck?"

"I picked it up outside yesterday."

"..." Good luck.

Chi Yue agreed.

After they finished knocking the melon seeds and left, she climbed onto Wen Qizhou's neck and unanimously decided to bring a few ingredients there tonight.

At present, everyone is not rich, and Yao Chengwei is willing to treat them to hot pot with the stock, so it is not easy for them to come empty-handed.

"What do you think we should bring?"

"Potatoes or lotus root?" He lowered his eyes slightly, raised his arms and hugged her to his knees: "They probably haven't eaten for a long time."

"Then how much do I get?"

"About five or six."

With a thought, Chi Yue took out six potatoes and lotus roots, and at the same time picked a piece of tiramisu in the static area of ​​the space.

She looked at the logo on the box, held up the silver fork and paused slightly: "Qinyao likes this brand of cake the most."

Wen Qizhou was silent for a moment.

He took the silver fork from Chi Yue's hand, dug a small spoonful of cake and fed it to her lips, and said gently with his eyes: "Then the next time we see her, will we have a cake feast for her?"

"How can she eat it?" Thinking of Ge Qinyao's expression when she saw the table full of cakes, Chi Yue couldn't help laughing: "It's not as good as a seafood feast, at least it won't get boring."

"It's fine." Seeing her relaxed, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "We'll have another drink with her then."

Chi Yue bent her eyes: "Okay."

He described the future with a firm tone, as if telling her that no matter how far apart they were, they would meet sooner or later.

She was immersed in the picture he drew, and most of the worries in her heart dissipated, and the cake in her mouth was no longer bitter.
