Yu Nianbai, who was locked in the wooden house, stood up by holding on to the wall. She walked to the wooden door and pushed it open with her hand.

The outside of the wooden door was bolted, which meant she was locked in the wooden house. Only someone outside could open the door.

But today is August 1st, it is impossible for anyone to come here.

The back mountain is the most remote place in the army. Even if she knocks on the door and shouts, no one will hear her.

Yu Nianbai sat down with all his strength, trying to keep himself awake.

She didn't know what symptoms would occur after being pierced by a rusty nail, but the sudden dizziness made Yu Nianbai a little scared.

She never felt dizzy suddenly, which made Yu Nianbai suspect that it was caused by the rusty nail.

She sat on the haystack, took off her dancing shoes and socks, and looked at the red, swollen, and bleeding spots on the soles of her feet, but she had no idea what to do.

Yu Nianbai was unwilling to give in. She thought about all the hardships she had gone through along the way. Was she going to wait to die in this wooden house?

She is not willing to give in! She had finally escaped from her original family and was moving in a good direction step by step. She couldn't die here!

But no matter how unwilling she was, Yu Nianbai's vision gradually blurred, as if there was an ethereal voice speaking to her from a distance.

Go to sleep, Yu Nianbai, you are too tired, it's time to take a rest.

She was in a trance and was about to close her eyes and fall into endless darkness.

Just when she was about to close her eyes, there was a noise outside the door, which suddenly woke Yu Nianbai up.

The originally blurry eyes suddenly became clearer.

She listened to the noise outside the door, as if someone was about to open the bolt.

Yu Nianbai quickly took a wooden stick beside him, stood behind the wooden door, and raised the stick in his hand above his head.

Outside the door, Jiang Huaizhi was opening the bolt. He had just knocked on the door, but there was no movement from inside.

He guessed that Yu Nianbai was most likely in a coma because the toxin entered his blood. If she doesn't get medical attention quickly, her life will be in danger.

Jiang Huaizhi's unlocking movements became faster until the bolt was unscrewed. He opened the door, and the light from outside finally shone into the dim wooden house.

There was no one inside. Jiang Huaizhi frowned and strode into the wooden house.

When Yu Nianbai saw the tall figure appear in front of her, she swung the wooden stick in her hand fiercely.

Jiang Huaizhi reacted very quickly and grabbed the wooden stick. He turned his head and cast a sharp gaze on Yu Nianbai's face.

"It's me!" He pulled the stick out of Yu Nianbai's hand.

Yu Nianbai looked at Jiang Huaizhi in surprise, and at this moment, her tense nerves relaxed and she collapsed to the ground.

Fortunately, an arm tightly grasped her lower back, preventing her from falling to the ground.

He frowned, his tone somewhat displeased: "To climb up the ladder, you put yourself in this state? You are really capable."

Yu Nianbai curled the corners of her lips. She had long been immune to Jiang Huaizhi's sarcasm.

Jiang Huaizhi didn't say anything else. He stretched out his hand to her knees and picked her up sideways.

Yu Nianbai panicked and stared at him with wide eyes: "What are you doing?"

"If you want to die, I can help you close the door." He looked forward with a cold face.

Yu Nianbai raised his eyes and could only see the man's strong jawline.

"I don't want to die!" she said firmly.

Jiang Huaizhi carried her out of the wooden house. The scorching sun shone on them. Yu Nianbai's dizziness and headache worsened. She closed her eyes and took a nap, but she didn't dare to lean her head on Jiang Huaizhi.

No matter how uncomfortable she felt, Yu Nianbai still remembered Jiang Huaizhi's disgust towards her.

Jiang Huaizhi noticed something and he lowered his eyes to look at the woman in his arms.

Yu Nianbai closed her eyes tightly, lowered her head, and wrapped her arms around herself, not daring to fall on him.

Jiang Huai's jaw was tense. He walked to a nearby tree and wanted to put Yu Nianbai down: "Wait here, I'll go get someone."

But before Jiang Huaizhi put her down, Yu Nianbai seemed to have noticed something, and suddenly opened his eyes, grabbing Jiang Huaizhi's lapel with both hands in panic.

"Don't leave me here alone." Her voice trembled.

Jiang Huaizhi was a little surprised by Nianbai's sudden action.

He lowered his eyes, and his gaze fell on Yu Nianbai's fair little face again.

Although she had makeup on her face, you could still see that she looked haggard and tired.

"Are you scared now?" Even though she was injured, Jiang Huaizhi was still merciless.

Yu Nianbai looked at him in confusion.

Then Jiang Huaizhi asked, "Do you really have to fight for this solo dance? You are willing to sacrifice your life to climb up, so why are you pretending to be scared now?"

Yu Nianbai became much more sober, and under Jiang Huaizhi's questioning, she let go of her hand.

His voice returned to its usual cold and distant tone: "Put me down. I will go see a doctor myself. Don't bother Master Jiang."

Jiang Huaizhi was instantly amused by Yu Nianbai's act of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge.

He let go and watched Yu Nianbai fall to the ground with cold eyes. He still stared down at her condescendingly.

Her eyes were icy cold, without any emotion: "Yu Nianbai, I shouldn't have come to save you. An ungrateful woman like you won't learn her lesson even if you suffer a lot!"

Jiang Huaizhi didn't stay any longer. He turned around and left after he finished speaking, not wanting to pay any attention to her at all.

The party in the auditorium ended, and Ning He rushed back to the cafeteria to prepare a sumptuous lunch when the show was about to end.

The cakes were delivered by a truck from the cake factory.

Ning He didn't let anyone give it away for free, he gave them five dollars to cover the gas bill.

The moment the cake was placed on the long table, the soldiers from the kitchen squad gathered around.

Everyone was shocked when they saw the cake in front of them that looked like a work of art.

"Is this a cake? Are you sure it's not fake?" Someone didn't believe it.

The big red five-pointed star made of fondant on the cake and the two words "Bayi" on it didn't look like they were edible at all.

"Yes, sister-in-law, can I eat this cake?"

Ning He nodded and smiled, "Of course you can eat it, it's all made of sugar."

This surprised them even more: "Made of sugar? What kind of sugar is this that can be made into these shapes?"

"You know what, this is really beautiful, and it's both pretty and edible. There are so many children here today, they will definitely like it!"

The cake is already on the table, so the rest of the things are much simpler. After preparing the side dishes, just put them into the pan and fry them one by one.

Ning He is responsible for making fried chicken and French fries. When the oil temperature is about 70% to 80% high, she puts the potato strips into the pan.

Fry slowly over low heat until golden and crispy.

Then drain the fried golden French fries, take them out of the oil, sprinkle some pepper and salt on them while they are still hot, and a plate of French fries is ready.

Then Ning He coated the marinated fried chicken with flour, put it into a bowl of clean water, rinsed it, coated it with flour again, and rinsed it with water again. After repeating this four times, he put it into the oil pan and fried it until golden and crispy, then took it out.

The fried chicken fried in this way will form a scaly outer skin, which looks more crispy and attractive.

After half an hour, Ning He finally fried a large plate of golden and crispy fried chicken. She sprinkled half of the fried chicken with pepper and salt, and the other half with chili powder.

Spicy fried chicken is suitable for adults, while non-spicy fried chicken is suitable for children.
