Chapter 6: Hiding Food
“Did you come from 2706?”
A low male voice came from the bright area, this voice was as if his vocal cords were being compressed by thick fat.
Sure enough, when Su Qinghan’s flashlight beam shone over, she saw a medium-built man wearing glasses standing together with a fat man, it was clear that the voice speaking just now came from this fat man’s mouth.
Looking at his appearance, you knew how well he had lived in these past fifty-plus days, practically dripping with oil from being so fat, the literal kind.
Su Qinghan slightly furrowed her brow and spoke softly to the two people: “So what if we are?”
The fat man smiled with a lecherous look on his face, and spoke to her: “That beauty, can you give us some food? If not, we can buy it with money.”
“If you want to eat, go find it yourselves, I don’t have any extra food.” Su Qinghan resolutely refused the fat man’s request, and turned to walk upstairs.
“Refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit!”
When the fat man saw Su Qinghan didn’t agree and was just lifting his foot wanting to rush over to snatch the food in their hands, the man behind him grabbed him.
The fat man turned his head and glared fiercely at him, after seeing Su Qinghan and Xiao Mumu leave, he spoke to the man: “Zhang Wei, you motherf***er! Why did you stop me, we were clearly about to get food!”
The man named Zhang Wei heard this fat pig cursing him, and couldn’t help but curse back: “Are you an idiot or a pig? All you know is eating all day! If it weren’t for your gluttony, that food would have been completely enough for us to survive for over two months!
Besides, didn’t you see the knife tucked at that woman’s waist? Use your pig brain and think carefully, the flood disaster has already been over fifty days, those two people, except for that white-haired child inside, the other one doesn’t show any signs of being thin at all, her skin is fair, and she showed not the slightest bit of fear when she saw the two of us.
Do you think she’s a normal woman? I can guarantee, if you rushed up, you would be killed immediately.”
The fat man heard Zhang Wei’s words, thought there was some logic to them, and stopped arguing with him.
“Let’s go continue looking for food.”
......
On the other side, Xiao Mumu, who had returned to 3006, poured all the food onto the table in the living room and began counting carefully, while Su Qinghan had gone into the bathroom and didn’t know what she was doing.
Time passed bit by bit, after counting and sorting the food, Xiao Mumu picked up a bag of potato chips and was about to eat: “If I eat this food alone, it can probably last a month, hehe.”
She was just about to tear open the bag of potato chips when it was taken from behind by someone, Xiao Mumu, feeling unhappy, turned back and saw the sweating Su Qinghan holding her potato chips, and instantly wilted.
Su Qinghan spoke to Xiao Mumu: “Eating late at night is not good for your health.”
Saying this, she picked up all the bags containing the sorted food and prepared to put them in the storage room, but her footsteps paused, and she reached out her hand to Xiao Mumu, who was sitting on the sofa with a dejected face.
“Take it out.”
“Ma... Master, take out what?” Xiao Mumu lowered her head, not daring to look at her.
“Hurry, don’t make me say it a second time.” Su Qinghan’s voice became colder and colder, Xiao Mumu felt like she was about to be eaten, and quickly took the things out.
Xiao Mumu took out a bag of potato chips from under the cushion behind her back and handed it to Su Qinghan, then took out a few candies from her pocket.
Su Qinghan raised an eyebrow, and spoke to her: “Anything else?”
Xiao Mumu trembled as she reached her hand under the sofa, and from inside, she took out three boxes of pure milk, four sausages, and two bags of bread.
After putting these foods into the bag, she said to the poor little thing sitting on the sofa: “Anything else?”
Xiao Mumu shook her head and said in a low voice with a crying tone: “There’s nothing left, I took everything out.”
Hearing this, Su Qinghan put all the food into the bag, not even sparing the food that was originally in the drawer.
Su Qinghan turned and walked towards the storage room.
Xiao Mumu raised her head and looked, after confirming that Su Qinghan had entered the storage room, she quickly took out the snow crackers hidden inside the sofa cover, although they were crushed, luckily they were in a packaging bag.
She gently tore open the packaging bag, stuffed all the crushed snow crackers inside into her mouth in one go, chewed quickly for a bit, swallowed it down, the entire process took less than fifteen seconds, Xiao Mumu ran to the window and threw the packaging bag from the edge of the window down.
After doing all this, Xiao Mumu sat back down on the sofa, quietly waiting for Su Qinghan to appear.
Su Qinghan stood in a corner where Xiao Mumu absolutely couldn’t see, personally witnessing Xiao Mumu’s entire act of ‘crime’, feeling speechless inside: “It’s not like I won’t give you food, is it necessary to secretly hide so much food...?”
Su Qinghan slowly walked to Xiao Mumu’s side, and said to her: “You go to the bedroom to sleep first, I’m going to take a shower.” After speaking, she picked up her pajamas and walked towards the bathroom.
Xiao Mumu gently took off the coat she was wearing, arranged it and placed it on the sofa, then trotted all the way to the bedroom, opening and closing the door in one smooth motion, Xiao Mumu, lying alone on the bed, began thinking wildly in her heart.
“I don’t know if I can still survive, the water level is rising every day, what on earth should I do...
Since even I know that staying here is just a death sentence, others must know it too, it’s just that I don’t know how to escape this place.
Looking at how Su Qinghan isn’t panicked at all, she probably isn’t waiting for rescue, right? After all, the scope of this disaster is simply too large, maybe some island nations will be gone before long.
Forget it, don’t think so much, the boat will straighten itself when it reaches the bridge... Wait! Boat!”
Thinking of this, Xiao Mumu immediately saw a glimmer of hope, but it soon disappeared, Xiao Mumu said silently.
“How could a boat possibly be built here, at most it would be a slightly larger raft, and it would capsize after just a few struggles in the water...”
Time passed bit by bit, the heavy rain outside the window was still falling non-stop, Xiao Mumu inside the room was covered by a thick quilt, occasionally letting out a few murmurs in her dream, absolutely adorable.
The bedroom door was pushed open, Su Qinghan walked to the side of the bed, quietly looking at the white-haired furball sleeping soundly on the bed, a wave of heat came from her heart, some damp hair was sticking to her cheeks, she slowly approached Xiao Mumu on the bed.
She leaned her nose forward and sniffed Xiao Mumu’s body, a faint milky scent was inhaled into her nostrils.
Xiao Mumu, who was sleeping, suddenly felt her body being pressed down by something, but she didn’t pay too much attention to it, she was truly too sleepy, she hadn’t had a good night’s sleep recently, to be precise, this body hadn’t, it was the Xiao Mumu from before.
She didn’t open her eyes, and continued to sleep.
