Apocalyptic Natural Disasters: I Have a Capsule House

On the tenth day of the apocalypse, Su Keke was forcibly driven out of her home by her adoptive parents and sister. The reason was to reduce one person's consumption of supplies, even though Su...

Chapter 340 Rumors

After Ma Qingshan's story, everyone in the village suddenly understood.

Du Juan even wanted to go down the mountain immediately to thank Su Keke and Grandma Qiao for saving her husband.

"Juanzi! Stop making such a fuss. Su Keke and Sister Qiao have an RV, so they can still wait for you right here! Didn't you just hear what the village chief said? He looked in many places but couldn't find them!"

Ma Qingshan quickly grabbed his wife to prevent her from running down the mountain in an impulse and not finding the person she was looking for, but instead meeting those Sakura people. That would have been troublesome.

"Yes, Du Juan! Listen to Qingshan! The whereabouts of Su Keke and Sister Qiao are very mysterious, and ordinary people can't find them. It's very dangerous down the mountain now, everyone should hide in the cave for a few days!"

The village chief also followed Ma Qingshan in persuading Du Juan. He really didn't want anything to happen to the villagers again.

"Well... okay! I hope I'll have a chance to thank them in the future." Seeing that the village chief said so, Dujuan had no choice but to give up.

In fact, the last time she heard that Su Keke and Grandma Qiao saved the village chief and Xiao Feiniu, and sent so many supplies to the villagers, Dujuan secretly thought that if she had the chance to meet them, she must learn some life-saving skills from them.

This time, it was they who saved her husband again, and Dujuan wanted to see them soon.

Chen Jie's thoughts were completely different from Du Juan's. After hearing Ma Qingshan and the village chief's admiration for Su Keke, she felt particularly uncomfortable.

They actually had an RV and lots of supplies to give away, so why wouldn't they want to take her in?

Is it true that I am so annoying? Chen Jie felt a chill in her heart, and her eyes gradually became misty.

In addition, Ma Qingshan introduced her as a young girl from another city who was snatched away by the Sakura people.

Now she is homeless and her hand is injured. She hopes the villagers can take her in temporarily in the cave and get her arm healed first.

When the men and boys in the village saw Chen Jie's tearful eyes and her pitiful look, they immediately softened their hearts.

Everyone agreed to let Chen Jie stay first.

Some people who were concerned even ran into the cave, found a clean corner, took their licorice and used it to make a bed for Chen Jie.

Some even gave Chen Jie a small bowl of the radishes and rice porridge they had cooked at noon.

"Thank you! Thank you!" Chen Jie deliberately spoke in a soft and gentle voice, which was very lethal to the men in the village.

"No...you're welcome!" These grown men surrounded Chen Jie's residence and watched her eat the porridge elegantly, mouthful after mouthful.

"What are you doing here? Come back with me!"

"Ouch... it hurts... it hurts... honey, please be gentle... I'm just watching the fun!"

Some of them who had wives were pulled back by their ears.

There were also a few young men and the old bachelor Lai San in the village who surrounded Chen Jie and asked her about her well-being.

Ma Qingshan felt a little uncomfortable when he saw Chen Jie calmly eating porridge surrounded by several masters. It was as if something that originally belonged to him had to be shared with many people.

"Qingshan! Come back with me quickly. Xiaojie has been talking about you for a long time."

Du Juan looked at Ma Qingshan looking at Chen Jie with a distraught look on his face, and a surge of anger rose in her heart.

“Oh…okay…” Ma Qingshan agreed casually, then paid the money and returned to the big rock where they lived.

"Dad! Where did you go last night? Mom was so angry that she fell sick!" Xiao Jie had already finished a bowl of carrot soup and was now pulling the lid of the pot, wanting to get another bowl himself.

"Juanzi, what's wrong with you? Let me see you!" Ma Qingshan quickly pulled Dujuan to sit down and took her pulse.

"You're a little weak. Lie down! I'll give you some carrot soup."

Ma Qingshan lifted the lid of the pot, looked at the radish soup which was still steaming in the pot, and served a small bowl of it to his son.

The child happily sat aside and slurped the carrot soup when he had something to eat.

Then he served Du Juan another bowl, "Eat something quickly! I remember we still have some brown sugar. I'll make you some brown sugar water later."

"No need! I'm not that pretentious! Hurry up and serve yourself a bowl of carrot soup. I added salt to make it taste good. As long as our family is safe and sound, that's better than anything else!"

Du Juan held the carrot soup that Ma Qingshan had served her, took a sip, and her heart instantly felt warm.

"Oh! I almost forgot!" Ma Qingshan muttered, then opened his medicine box. After searching for a long time, he finally found what he was looking for.

"Juanzi, you eat first! I'll go get some ointment for Chen Jie and be back!" After saying this, Ma Qingshan went across the street carrying the medicine box on his back.

"Can't you go after you finish eating the radish? You won't die if you apply the ointment later!" Du Juan was so angry that she put down the bowl in her hand. She really wanted to go over to see where Ma Qingshan's heart was.

Ma Qingshan couldn't hear Du Juan's call at this moment, and ran to Chen Jie's residence in a few steps.

The villagers who surrounded her had returned to their respective places at some point, and Chen Jie was just closing her eyes to rest.

Suddenly I saw Ma Qingshan standing in front of me and was almost scared.

"Doctor Ma...Doctor Ma! Why are you here?" Chen Jie's voice was still so soft that Ma Qingshan was stunned.

"Oh! It's like this. I have an ointment I made in my medicine box. It will be effective for the injury on your arm. I'll bring it over and apply it to you first."

"Ah! Really? Thank you so much, Dr. Ma!" Chen Jie was so happy when she heard that he was delivering medicine to her.

She was really afraid that if she dragged it any further, her arm would be broken.

"But some of the sores on your arms are festering! I need Xiao to help you clean and disinfect them before I can apply the ointment."

"There are no conditions here, and there is no anesthetic. It will be very painful when cleaning the wound, so you have to bear with it!" Ma Qingshan took out all the tools and looked at Chen Jie with a bit of heartache.

"Doctor Ma, please do it! I can bear it!" Chen Jie also knew that the conditions were not met now. As long as her hand could be healed, she would have to bear it no matter how painful it was.

"Okay! Then I'll start!" Ma Qingshan looked at Chen Jie's determined face and felt more and more fond of her.

Unexpectedly, as soon as his knife blade lightly scratched Chen Jie's wound, Chen Jie screamed heart-wrenchingly.

Her shout attracted dozens of pairs of eyes living in the cave.

"Tsk tsk tsk! What are you two doing in broad daylight? Doctor Ma doesn't even know how to avoid suspicion!"

"Yes! Although I was treating that woman's injuries, she was too hypocritical. She was yelling so loudly that people who didn't know would think that Doctor Ma was doing something to her!"

"How could Du Juan tolerate this? If I were her, I would have run over and brought my husband back!"

Facing the villagers' discussions, Ma Qingshan, who was concentrating on healing his wounds, didn't hear anything clearly. However, Du Juan, who was angry, heard every word clearly.

She was so angry that she almost broke her back teeth!
