Along the way, they met many people who were out shopping like them. The heavy rain continued. Someone's assault boat capsized and all the people on it fell into the water. Ye Fu and the others happened to pass by and saw that there were others.
The elderly, children, and neighbors sitting in the back all reached out to help.
The sewage poured into the clothes, the child shivered with cold and shed tears timidly, and the old man looked very bad, with a swollen and white face.
"Thank you for your help. The wind is too strong and it's hard to drive the assault boat. Do you want to go to Dashun Mall? We just came over there. There are many people in the mall, but there are security teams to maintain order. You guys go there quickly.
"Okay." The family thanked them profusely. The adults held the children and the old man leaned against the corner. The family launched the assault boat and left in the opposite direction.
"What a sin, this damn weather."
"Where are they going? They are dragging their families with them. It doesn't look like they are out to purchase supplies."
"We should go to the shelter. My family lives on the fourth floor. If the water level keeps rising, our family will have to go there."
Everyone was chatting in the back, while Ye Fu and Qiu Lan sat at the front in silence.
When we arrived at Dashun Mall and saw the huge crowd, everyone looked desperate.
Complaints arose one after another at the scene. Some people were shivering from the cold, and some were crying loudly. The security team held electric batons in their hands and scanned everyone seriously.
"Don't make noise, don't crowd, put the assault boat over here, we will put a mark on it, and you have to check the mark when you drive away." Someone tried to steal the assault boat, but was stunned and dragged away by the security team, a vigorous and resolute method.
, calming everyone instantly.
Qiu Lan and Ye Fu put the assault boat in, paid a parking fee of 500 yuan, spray-painted marking numbers on their wrists, and were let into the mall.
There were almost everyone next to each other in the mall, and it was difficult to turn around. Ye Fu took a look and saw that the price of a small bottle of mineral water had increased to twenty yuan. Everyone was complaining and cursing, but the speed of his hands was not slow at all.
From time to time, the sounds of arguments could be heard in my ears. As soon as someone made a move, the security team immediately came over to subdue the person and take them away.
Ye Fu grabbed a large bottle of mineral water, a five-pound bag of rice, a Chinese cabbage, and three large potatoes.
She felt that her internal organs were being squeezed out of place. Someone tried to snatch something from the shelf without grabbing it. Ye Fu took out the dagger hidden in his cuff and slashed the person's lower back.
He covered his wound and cursed, but there were too many people around, so Ye Fu struck out very quickly, and he didn't know who scratched him. At this time, Ye Fu had already squeezed past and grabbed a can of bean paste.
Qiu Lan followed her. Someone stepped on her a few times just now, and she grinned in pain.
Seeing a bag of flour and three handfuls of noodles in her shopping basket, Ye Fu took her and squeezed past, snatching three bottles of water from a bunch of uncles and giving them to her.
"Qiu Lan, food is life." He reminded her tactfully that now is not the time to be pretentious.
Qiu Lan blushed a little. She was not tall. If Ye Fu hadn't been in front of her to clear the way, she might not even be able to squeeze in the mall. Thinking of her elderly and demented grandparents at home, Qiu Lan's eyes became firm.
Half an hour later, the two of them squeezed to the checkout counter. Things that usually cost more than one or two hundred yuan cost more than one thousand yuan when they checked out, especially rice. The price of five kilograms of ordinary rice had increased to five hundred yuan.
Ye Fu put the things into waterproof sacks. Qiu Lan didn't bring his own bags, so he bought two. But one bag cost 100 yuan, which was a bit scary.
The two of them did not leave, but went to the nearby drugstore. The drugstore did not increase the price much, but there were too many people buying medicines, and the purchase of medicines was restricted. You could only buy one box of each medicine. Most of the people wanted to buy cold medicines to reduce fevers.
Regarding medicines, Ye Fu only bought one box of painkillers and one box of antipyretics.
The two of them were pretty lucky and bought an assault boat, but only the smallest model was left, which could only seat three people, and the price was ridiculously expensive.
There were only fifty minutes left in the three hours. Because there were still people queuing up to use the assault boat, the two of them had to go back on time. They picked up the assault boat from the security team and put the supplies on it. They were ready to set off back.
"What do they do?"
"Didn't you say that we should let them go back by themselves on the way back?" Ye Fu was definitely not sarcastic, she was just curious, how could Qiu Lan still worry about others at this time.
"What if they didn't get the assault boat? We left and they were stranded here."
Ye Fu glanced at Qiu Lan and said seriously: "They have families. If they are stranded, their families will come find them."
"But……"
No need, the six people came out in disgrace, each holding a pitiful supply in their hands. When they saw Ye Fu and Qiu Lan, the despair on their faces dissipated.
"Xiaoye, Qiu Lan, I thought you went back first. There are too many people in the mall, and the prices of everything have increased. It's really a scam."
"It's amazing. You actually managed to get the assault boat. When we went over to check it out, the boss said it was out of stock today, and the price was outrageous. The price had increased twenty times."
"You also have a lot of supplies. You are awesome. Two little girls are even better than us grown men."
Seeing the two sets of assault boat bags and oilskin bags containing supplies in the corner, several people looked at Ye Fu and Qiu Lan with envy.
Ye Fu ignored them, and the man shut up angrily. The people next to him were chattering and squeezing to get on the assault boat. Before starting, Ye Fu turned around and looked at them.
"This assault boat is on the eighth floor. It costs 3,000 yuan for three hours. There are eight of us, so if we share the cost equally, it will be 375 yuan per person."
After Ye Fu finished speaking, everyone including Qiu Lan looked at her. Qiu Lan quickly reacted and nodded in agreement. Finally, an uncle on the fifth floor took the lead to break the awkwardness and said he would pay when he got home.
Ye Fu just started the engine. The six people looked at each other and exchanged glances with each other. Some people rolled their eyes at Ye Fu's back. Some people choked a few words in a strange way. Ye Fu ignored them. Anyway, she was here today.
Everyone bought an assault boat right under their noses, so that they can go out alone in the future.
The return trip was very fast. Ye Fu was wearing gloves, but his hands were still numb from the cold. When he was about to reach the community, there was a loud thunder, which made several people behind him scream.
A large dog corpse floating in the water rushed over, and a stench hit his forehead. Ye Fu held his breath and rushed into the community as fast as he could.
After returning the assault boat to the owner, the six people shared the cost equally. Ye Fu quickly went upstairs with the supplies in one hand and the assault boat in the other.
"Ye Fu."
When they reached the ninth floor, Qiu Lan suddenly called Ye Fu to stop.
"Thank you today. If it weren't for you, this trip wouldn't have been so smooth."
Ye Fu smiled and said, "You're welcome, go home quickly."
"Then can we go out together next time?"
