Chapter 8
"Enough." Mentioning the price increase, Yuan Chuan sighed anxiously: "There are only two or three factories that are still operating outside, and the supermarkets sell almost all of their stocks. Can they not go crazy?"

Chi Yue leisurely guided the other party: "According to the current demand, no amount of inventory is enough. When the inventory is emptied, won't we be able to buy anything with money?"

Yuan Chuan: "..."

more anxious.

He thought about the possibility silently, and the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, his brows were furrowed.

Walking to the first floor, he looked at the crescent moon hanging in the sky, and said in a helpless and bewildered tone, "The sky is really going to change."

"Think of the good in everything." Wen Qizhou put his shoulders on his shoulders and patted him reassuringly: "If the money becomes waste paper, we can still experience the feeling of zero yuan purchase."

"Buy at zero yuan? Grab it?"

"At that time, it would not be called robbery."

When Yuan Chuan thought of what he did that ran counter to "obeying the law", he suddenly felt a sense of moral condemnation.

But he also knows that if it really gets to that point, the so-called morality will become nothing compared to living.

In silence, he and the couple walked through the street without street lights, and walked to the large supermarket diagonally opposite the community.

After the temperature soared, people came out at night, and supermarkets and pharmacies in Sui City also changed their business hours to [-] pm.

There are so many people who come together every night, if there are no soldiers at the door to maintain order, there may be frequent friction.

The three waited at the door for 10 to [-] minutes before entering the supermarket with the flow of people and pushing the shopping cart to the water selling area.

货价上只有550ml和1.5L装的矿泉水,标价分别是100/220元,且不能按箱买,一个人最多能拿5瓶小的1瓶大的。

"Fuck! 6 bottles add up to 720! If it goes up like this, who can afford it?"

The young man behind them was furious.

Many middle-aged and elderly people echoed: "Yes! All the money we have worked so hard to save has been spent on this mouthful of water."

"If it weren't for water restrictions, who would be willing to be slaughtered by unscrupulous merchants? The country doesn't know how to manage it, and the common people will suffer."

"It doesn't matter if he has gone up, the key is how can six bottles of water be enough? There are seven people in my family!"

"Isn't tap water still drinkable when it's boiled?" Yuan Chuan didn't understand them, and said inexplicably, "No one forced us to buy it."

"Can it be the same? Tap water tastes so astringent, how can it compare with mineral water?"

Chi Yue: "??"

She originally wanted to be a spectator, but was surprised by the other party's speech: "It's all over, and you still pursue taste?"

"Can't you?"

"Okay, as long as you are happy." Instead of arguing with ignorant people, she asked Wen Qizhou and Yuan Chuan to go to other areas.

The vegetables in the vegetable area were all wilted, and they didn't dislike them. They picked the vegetables that each family needed and continued to purchase.

After shopping, the three of them not only filled their backpacks, but also carried shopping bags in their hands.

Although the temperature dropped to more than 30 degrees at night, the air was still muggy, and they were sweating while walking with heavy loads.

A "bang" sounded.

Yuan Chuan, who was startled, followed the sound and looked at the shopping bag in Wen Qizhou's hand that broke due to the unbearable weight.

"The quality is terrible," he said.

Wen Qizhou was also very speechless.

He picked up the scattered things and put them into other shopping bags: "Next time, bring the shopping cart out."

"also."

They were just about to move forward when four men wearing masks popped out of the shadows.

"Stop!" The leader with a black mask gestured at the knife in his hand: "You guys, put down what you're holding!"

Wen Qizhou subconsciously stands in front of Chi Yue.

He stared at each other sharply, seeing that he couldn't be kind, then he gave Yuan Chuan his eyes and each put down his things.

The four people who thought they were afraid let out a burst of laughter, proud of the black mask scaring them away with a word.

"Fun enough! Hahahaha..."

The insolent laughter stopped abruptly the moment Wen Qizhou and Yuan Chuan stepped forward to shake their fists.

Xu didn't expect them to make a move. When the four reacted, they were obviously at a disadvantage.

The black mask with a slightly stronger force value was punched by Wen Qizhou, causing nosebleeds. He clenched the knife fiercely in his eyes, while avoiding the fist, he kept looking for opportunities to stab the opponent with the knife.

Sensing his intention, Wen Qizhou slashed hard at his wrist, only to hear a bang, and the fruit knife fell to the ground.

The black mask that has lost the murder weapon is like a vicious dog whose teeth have been pulled out, only the feint of barking remains.

Chi Yue, who was watching the battle by the side, heard the sound of fists falling on him, and turned his eyes to the others boredly.

Seeing someone trying to sneak attack Yuan Chuan, she approached in two or three steps, kicked him away, grabbed him by the collar and knocked him down, holding his head coldly and smashing it to the ground.

The yellow hair with golden stars in his eyes, and those terrifying almond eyes, he was so cowardly: "Sister, don't hit... I was wrong!"

"I don't have a younger brother who robs in the street." She punched him in the face, and the strong wind froze in place, and the white mask, which had never touched him, took two steps back in fright.

The white mask glanced at the other people who were beaten up, and goosebumps came out all over their bodies.

He was bent over and was about to run, but Chi Yue picked up the wooden stick that someone had dropped, and smashed it hard at his legs.

Howling and begging for mercy sounded at the same time.

"Yueyue, give me a rope." Wen Qizhou dragged the black mask whose nose was bruised and face swollen from the beating, and walked to the tree trunk.

Under the cover of the backpack, Chi Yue took out a bundle of strong hemp rope from the space and threw it to him.

Then he and Yuan Chuan brought the three younger brothers who had lost the ability to resist to him, and tied them tightly to the tree together.

Yuan Chuan turned his head and said, "I'll call someone."

"Don't! I have money... I'll give you the money, will you let me go?" The most cowardly white mask was about to cry.

"You still grab money if you have money?"

"I didn't intend to rob, they forced me!"

"Fuck you! You found the land, are you ashamed to say that we forced you?" The scene of dog biting dog was staged.

Chi Yue and Wen Qizhou ignored them.

When the soldiers guarding the supermarket came and took them away, the couple and Yuan Chuan walked back to the community with their things.

"Pray for a boat." On reaching the 26th floor, Yuan Chuan said with a serious expression, "We will go out together in the future, don't act alone."

Wen Qizhou nodded: "Okay."

They know very well that when they see a mouse, there are hundreds or thousands of mice around.

The robbery tonight was by no means an exception. Whether it was the familiar appearance of the four people or the unsurprised reaction of the soldiers, they were all sending them a signal that order had collapsed.

Both parties went home with mixed feelings.

After Chi Yue came out of the shower, she leaned on the bed and sent Ge Qinyao a WeChat message, caring for her before reminding her to store more water.

When the other party asked about the situation of the Chi family, she replied perfunctorily, and a flash of hatred flashed through her pupils reflecting the cold light.

"What are you thinking about?" Wen Qizhou, who was drying his hair, lay beside her, his fingertips slipped into her fingers and intertwined with hers.
