Bi Qiao’an lay motionless in the icy snow, watching helplessly as the falling flakes slowly buried her. As her consciousness faded, her mind drifted back to the three arduous years she had spent ...
Chapter 375 Will You Blame Me
Bi Qiaoan felt a little distressed when he saw Shen Yanming squatting in front of the tent, drinking a bowl of rice porridge with only a few pickles. In just a few days, he not only got tanned, but also became so thin that his bones could be seen.
Even he, who has special treatment, is like this, what about others?
Bi Qiaoan took out a salted egg from the space, peeled off the shell, looked left and back, and seeing no one was around, he quickly put it into Shen Yanming's bowl and whispered, "Look how thin you have become. What will happen if you continue like this?"
Shen Yanming smiled and said, "It's okay. I'm in good health. If others are thin and I'm still fat, then it's obvious that there's something wrong with me."
Bi Qiaoan couldn't help but sigh after hearing this. They clearly had so much food in their hands, but they didn't dare to eat freely in such an environment. It was only because everyone knew that they brought rice, flour, grain and oil when they came, otherwise, with Bi Qiaoan's current plump figure, who knows how much trouble it would cause.
After Shen Yanming finished his meal and washed the dishes, he took off his dirty work clothes outside and walked into the tent in his underwear.
Bi Qiaoan was about to turn off the lamp and let Shen Yanming go into the space to take a shower. But Shen Yanming stopped her, "Don't worry, I'll show you something good."
Shen Yanming rummaged through his dirty work clothes for a long time before he found a bracelet inlaid with gemstones. It shone brightly under the light and looked extremely beautiful.
"This is..." Bi Qiaoan took the bracelet and after looking at it carefully, he knew that this was a classic model of a luxury brand in Ai Country.
She had an idea in her mind, but she wasn't sure, so she asked tentatively, "Where did you get it?"
"The villa area we dug out today was dug out from the ruins!" Shen Yanming said frankly.
Bi Qiaoan was a little shocked. The expression on her face was very strange. After struggling for a long time, she asked in a low voice, "Husband, you didn't steal this, did you?"
"What are you thinking about!" Shen Yanming was so angry that he almost laughed. He raised his right hand and slapped Bi Qiaoan on the forehead.
Bi Qiaoan felt a little pain, rubbing his forehead aggrievedly, and said with tears in his eyes: "Didn't you say that everything should be public? Isn't it normal for me to have such thoughts?"
Shen Yanming was choked for a moment before he said, “This is the spoils that Captain Li allowed us to leave behind today.”
Seeing that Bi Qiaoan didn't understand, Shen Yanming explained, "We dig for supplies in the ruins every day, which is already a lot of activity. Now we don't have enough food, so many people want to quit. Captain Li saw that everyone was a little passive and lazy, so he came up with this idea to increase everyone's enthusiasm for work."
Bi Qiaoan didn't expect the truth of the matter to be like this. She asked, "Then he won't make a mistake, right?"
"No. These things are not edible or drinkable, and they are not valuable in today's environment. They are just for appearance, otherwise no one would want them if thrown away."
Then he thought of something and shook his head, "I can't say that no one wants it, because I saw someone steal the gold ring with my own eyes, but I didn't say anything at the time because I felt it had nothing to do with me.
I was thinking that maybe Captain Li saw this too, so he thought of using these accessories that were previously very expensive but now have no practical use as bait to get everyone to work hard."
Shen Yanming chuckled, "You know what, it's really useful. Maybe gold and silver jewelry are still valuable in everyone's mind. So, when Captain Li said that we could choose a trophy to take away, everyone's spirits were much higher. We even completed an extra excavation task today."
Bi Qiaoan nodded, "Are there many supplies in the villa area?"
"It's not bad. After all, the warehouses and basements are full of rice, flour, grain and oil. If they are confiscated, I think the owners will be heartbroken."
"That can't be helped. If you don't help, these supplies will be buried underground and never see the light of day. It's just right to take them out now so that everyone can have a full meal."
"I'm afraid we won't be able to have enough food. I heard from them that the food shortage seems to be quite large. Now there is not much food left. We have to eat sparingly, otherwise we might go hungry."
Hearing this, Bi Qiaoan didn't know what to say. If there hadn't been this earthquake, every household would have had surplus food, and they would have been able to hold on until the summer harvest.
But now, their surplus food is buried underground, their money is buried underground, and their hopes seem to be buried underground.
Seeing that Bi Qiaoan was silent, Shen Yanming looked into Bi Qiaoan's eyes and asked seriously: "If, I mean if, I take out the food in the space, will you blame me?"
Bi Qiaoan's heart trembled, and she was a little afraid to answer this question. But Shen Yanming did not allow her to avoid it, and looked at her deeply, "Tell me what you think, if you don't allow me, I won't do it!"
Bi Qiaoan bit her lower lip hard, and her eyes began to turn red. She wanted to say no, but she couldn't.
Seeing that she was about to bite her lip, Shen Yanming sighed helplessly, gently opened her jaw, and said, "It's okay, I won't go."
"No." Bi Qiaoan shook his head, his voice trembling. "It's not that I don't want to give up the food. I'm afraid that if we reveal our whereabouts, we will be arrested and detained."
Shen Yanming was also worried about this, but he really couldn't bear to see the guards working on an empty stomach, nor could he bear to see the refugees who had just experienced the destruction of their houses and then had to go hungry.
But seeing Bi Qiaoan so worried, he could only comfort her, "I'm not saying that I have to send them food, I'm just worried that things will get worse, and I have to take action when the time comes.
Don't worry, as long as people are not starving to death, we will pretend that we know nothing. If we really have to take action, I will find a good time and try not to let others suspect us, okay?"
Bi Qiaoan nodded, but the uneasiness in his heart did not diminish at all.
After turning off the lights, Bi Qiaoan sent Shen Yanming into the space and asked him to take a good bath. Of course, this good bath was limited to the area below the neck. The area above the neck had to be left dirty for people to see.
Bi Qiaoan was lying in the tent, thinking about how to get food without arousing suspicion. But as she was thinking, she fell asleep.
When Shen Yanming came out of the space, he saw his young wife who was frowning and sleeping uncomfortably.
He knew that his words had frightened her, but he had a feeling that he would have to take action this time.
Alas, it is difficult for him. If these people were not right in front of him, he really would not want to care.
What’s so good about being a savior hero? How many of those who made great contributions in history had a good ending?
