Chapter 6 006 Heavy Rain 2

Ye Fu had a simple breakfast, changed into sportswear, and started exercising in the empty living room. She was tall and slim, and her hair was cut short. As long as she covered her face, it was hard to tell that she was a girl.

At around 8:30, the signal was restored to two bars. Ye Fu turned on his mobile phone and saw all kinds of news on the Internet. The headlines said that rescue would definitely come.

However, since heavy rain is a global disaster, rescue may be slow, so we urge everyone to cooperate in self-rescue. First of all, residents on lower floors should move to higher floors, and cities and villages with low terrain also need to move to higher terrain as soon as possible, especially those living at the foot of the mountain and on the banks of rivers. In addition to heavy rain, they should also pay attention to landslides and river surges.

Ye Fu picked up her phone to check the news. A red alert popped up every few minutes. She sighed and turned off her phone.

People who came back at noon were complaining about the crazy price increases, and that if they were slow they would be sold out. However, many people also bought kayaks, life jackets, and lifebuoys. Because of the heavy rain, it was impossible to hire renovation workers, so everyone had to buy cement and do it themselves.

At twelve o'clock noon, Ye Fu received a call from Lin Jiao. He thought that Lin Jiao had returned to Yuncheng, but he didn't expect that she was still in Lancheng University.

"Ye Fu, the water below the dormitory has flooded the first floor. The local students have been picked up by their families. You are the only local in our dormitory. Zhou Caifang, Xu Ran and I are trapped in the dormitory. The cafeteria is flooded and we can't get out. We haven't eaten for a day. Can you come and rescue us? We have discussed it and we will pay you 1,000 yuan each for your hard work."

Ye Fu didn't say anything. Lin Jiao became a little anxious and pleaded in a crying voice.

"Ye Fu, I know you look cold but you are kind-hearted. Please save us. The dormitory is terrible. There is no electricity. The bathroom and balcony are flooded. We really have no other options."

There were some voices nearby, and Ye Fu knew they were from Zhou Caifang and Xu Ran.

"Lin Jiao, I can't go over to save you. You might as well wait for the rescue team. When they come, you can follow the rescue team to the emergency shelter."

"Shelter? That kind of place must be noisy and chaotic. Ye Fu, why don't you tell me where your home is, and we can ask the rescue team to send us to your home to take shelter."

"I'm sorry, my house is very small and I can't take you in."

Lin Jiao was stunned for a moment when she heard Ye Fu's cold rejection.

"Ye Fu, you are the only person I know who is from Lancheng. We are friends. When the rain stops, I will treat you to a meal."

Ye Fu pressed his temple irritably.

"Why not let the rescue team take you to a hotel? Not only will they provide good accommodation, but meals will also be provided." Ye Fu took a sip of hot water and leaned lazily on the sofa.

"Hotels are so expensive, how can we afford to stay there?"

Ye Fu smiled coldly and hung up the phone. A few seconds later, Lin Jiao called again and Ye Fu put her on the blacklist.

Take her in? Do you think she's a fool?

At this time, in 301 of the female dormitory of Lancheng University, Zhou Caifang and Xu Ran looked at each other. Seeing Lin Jiao's disappointed expression, they couldn't help but sneer.

"I said Ye Fu was an ungrateful person. It's not that she didn't want to give us money, but she refused to come and save us and even refused to tell us her home address. Lin Jiao, didn't you always say that you and Ye Fu had a good relationship? I didn't expect that she didn't even care about your life or death."

"Lin Jiao, call her again and increase the money to fifteen hundred per person. The first floor has been flooded. Now there is no water or electricity and no food. We have to leave quickly."

Lin Jiao frowned and whispered, "Ye Fu blocked me."

——

In the afternoon, an emergency notice was issued, and emergency shelters were set up in all public places in Lancheng, including libraries, gymnasiums, theaters, clubs, cultural centers, etc. Residents on the first, second, and third floors, nursing homes, orphanages, and all trapped students were transferred as soon as possible.

The discussion in the group was still going on heatedly. Neighbors with good relationships began to ask to stay upstairs. At four o'clock in the afternoon, there was a knock on Ye Fu's door.

When Ye Fu opened the door, he saw a man and a woman standing outside the door. They stretched their heads to look inside. When they saw Ye Fu's three security doors, the couple looked at each other with satisfaction in their eyes.

"Xiao Ye, I'm Aunt Lou from 202. Your mother and I have a very good relationship. When you were a child, I held you in my arms. Do you remember? By the way, are you scared when you're home alone? Your parents are gone, and we're neighbors. You're still young, so I've been worried about you these past few days."

Ye Fu did not open the door completely, but just looked at the woman coldly. Seeing that she did not express anything, the woman nudged the man with her elbow, and the man coughed.

"Xiao Ye, uncle wants to ask you for a favor, okay? The water downstairs is rising very fast, we want to come up to your house to take shelter, and we will leave when the rain stops. Don't worry, we won't let you suffer any loss. We will pay you for the time you stay at your house. Xiao Ya and Xiao Kai, they will call you sister, and you won't be lonely and scared if they play with you."

"Uncle Zhang, Aunt Lou, although the water level has risen, it has not yet flooded the third floor. The authorities have already issued a notice for residents on the lower floors to move to the official temporary shelter as soon as possible. Also, I am a very brave person and do not need anyone to accompany me. Please leave."

The two were stunned. They didn't expect Ye Fu to refuse so directly.

"Xiao Ye, we need a speedboat to go to the emergency shelter. We don't have one at home, and it's raining so hard outside. It's very dangerous to go out."

"What does this have to do with me?" Ye Fu was unmoved. After saying that, he was about to close the door, but Zhang Dawei held the door open.

"Xiao Ye, are you really so cruel? You're not willing to take us in for a few days? We are all neighbors. You're just a little girl, don't be so heartless."

It's fun, and it starts to become threatening.

"Xiao Ye, you should take them in. You are alone at home, so you will have some company. Young people should not be so selfish. You should learn to accumulate merits. Your parents are doctors who save lives and heal the wounded. You should not learn bad habits from them."

The door next door suddenly opened, and the embarrassed Yan Fen began to use moral blackmail on Ye Fu. Ye Fu looked at her with a smile.

"Aunt Yan, your daughter and son haven't come back yet, right? You have a lot of empty rooms, why don't you take Uncle Zhang and his family in? You can do good deeds and accumulate blessings, maybe they can bless your children who can't come back to have a safe journey. My parents are gone, and I don't need to accumulate blessings as a lonely person, but you are different, you have children."

Yan Fen looked extremely ugly. Her balcony was flooded by heavy rain and she had been scooping water all day and all night. Her son and daughter were out of town and couldn't come back. She was worried and scared. When she heard that someone was looking for Ye Fu to stay, she couldn't help but add fuel to the fire. She didn't expect Ye Fu to be so vicious and return his words to her.
