Chapter 115 It seems like I saw a god.

The next morning, Qin Suisui took out all the offal that she had braised the night before. She used water from the stream in her space, and in such hot weather, it not only didn't spoil when left outside, but it also became even more flavorful after soaking overnight.

I cut off a little bit of the pig intestines, pig ears, pig tongue, and pig lungs, put them in a large enamel bowl, poured in some brine to soak them, covered the enamel bowl, put it in a mesh bag, and then ran to the vegetable garden to pick some tomatoes, cucumbers, and gourds. I then rode my bicycle to the brigade headquarters.

According to the fishermen's experience, this super typhoon will probably start to affect Jianghui Town from tonight. The guards have already taken protective measures at the beach and in the family compound. She just doesn't know how the drainage ditch in the medicinal herb garden is going. The rattan net should have been installed today. She has to go and check.

When she passed by the base, Su Yunyi was not inside; she must have already gone to the medicinal herb garden. She took all the food she had brought inside, placed it in a shady spot, and then rode her bike directly to the medicinal herb garden.

Before we even got close, we could hear sparse voices coming from afar. Sure enough, it was Captain Mai Defu leading a group of men installing rattan netting.

Jianghui Town is located on the coast and is hit by typhoons every year. The hardworking and resourceful team members have long since figured out ways to deal with typhoons. However, in previous years, they did not plant medicinal herbs, and the vine netting was only occasionally used to protect rice paddies. This year, they are being used to protect the medicinal herb seedlings.

The members of the brigade all knew that Qin Suisui was trying to grow medicinal herbs in their brigade, and they also knew that if it was successful, it would be promoted in their brigade first, which would increase their brigade's income. Of course, they were happy to see it happen, so when the brigade leader called for help, everyone was very proactive.

Many team members were visiting the medicinal herb garden for the first time. Seeing the orderly and vibrant medicinal herb seedlings, they couldn't help but smile. This is the future of their village!

Qin Suisui came over and saw them chanting and pulling the net, preparing to install the rattan net.

Medford spotted her with sharp eyes and quickly ran over: "Comrade Qin, look, the drainage ditch has been dug, all according to the path you marked out before. We are now preparing to install the rattan netting."

Qin Suisui first went over to check the drainage ditch. In fact, in terms of experience, she was definitely not as rich as the team members who had lived here for decades. Her only advantage was that she knew more about medicinal properties than them and could make suggestions on the aspects that medicinal materials needed to grow, but this was definitely not enough.

Therefore, no matter what Qin Suisui did, she would always consult with Mai Defu first and listen to his experience to make up for her shortcomings, which made Mai Defu respect her even more.

It was almost noon by the time they finished their work. Pei Jiuyan wasn't home, and Zanzan had gone to daycare. Qin Suisui was too lazy to rush home in the sun, so she simply ate lunch with Su Yunyi at the base.

Su Yunyi cooked sweet potato porridge. The rations they received as educated youth included a lot of sweet potatoes, which they ate with rice, so the rations could last for a long time.

While drinking her porridge, Qin Suisui nudged Su Yunyi with her shoulder: "Hey, Sister Yunyi, did you bring porridge to Brother Yunlai yesterday?"

Su Yunyi blushed: "You...you knew?"

Qin Suisui chuckled gossipy: "You know those three brothers have a good relationship, they basically have no secrets. As for that porridge... I got a bowl too... hehe..."

Su Yunyi smiled and said, "If you like, take some water chestnuts back with you later. My mom sent them over before..."

"Hey, who wants to hear this? I want to hear what happened yesterday!"

Su Yunyi blushed, but she trusted Qin Suisui, who was one of only two close friends she could confide in, so she didn't hide anything and told her what had happened yesterday.

Yesterday morning, after she and Qin Suisui returned from the black market, she started cooking the water chestnut porridge. Just then, Song Yunlai led a team to conduct a pre-typhoon inspection at the Bright Peak Brigade. On a whim, she ladled out all the water chestnut porridge and delivered it to Song Yunlai.

She suddenly ran over, and Song Yunlai was stunned for a moment. After recognizing her, he smiled and called out, "It's Su Zhiqing."

Su Yunyi was extremely nervous at that moment, but since he had already run up to her, there was no reason for her to back down. So she handed the enamel lunchbox containing the porridge in her hand to him and said very quickly, "Comrade Song, this is the chicken head rice porridge I cooked. It's a local specialty. I'm giving it to you to thank you for saving me last time."

Song Yunlai frowned and refused to accept it: "Didn't you already... thank me last time?" In front of so many people, Song Yunlai did not mention that Su Yunyi made clothes for him. Those who knew would understand that Su Yunyi made clothes for him because she loved making clothes and was good at it. Those who did not know would definitely misunderstand and affect her reputation.

Su Yunyi immediately understood what Song Yunlai meant, knowing that he was thinking of her. Her eyes lit up, but she still forcefully stuffed the porridge into Song Yunlai's hand, leaving behind the words, "That little bit isn't enough!" before running away.

Song Yunlai rubbed his forehead. He hadn't actually done anything, and he didn't know why this girl was so stubborn.

“Of course I know that the people who really saved me were you and Zhenzhen, but Suisui, do you know? Back then, in that pitch-black temple, you and Zhenzhen were both lying outside, their lives hanging in the balance, and I was tied up and couldn’t move. At that time, I didn’t know that the black snake hadn’t bitten me. All I felt was… despair.”

"I was desperate because I couldn't save you and Zhenzhen, and I was also desperate because I was about to die from snake venom. You know, I called you for a long time, but you didn't answer me. I thought you... So I kept praying in my heart, hoping that the Sea Goddess would have mercy and not let anything happen to you. If anyone has to die, I just want to die..."

Recalling that desperate scene, Su Yunyi couldn't help but tear up again, then suddenly smiled: "I was completely heartbroken at the time, and then he came."

“You know what? He was walking towards me with a flashlight in the backlight, and to say something outrageous, I felt like I was seeing a god.”

"At one point, I thought that my prayers to the Goddess of the Sea had been answered."

Qin Suisui hugged her and patted her shoulder: "It's okay, don't cry, Sister Yunyi. Look, aren't we all fine? Zhenzhen's bottom is almost healed too. Evil people will be punished by heaven. From now on, let's just live happily, do what we want to do, and live the life we ​​want to live!"

Su Yunyi nodded with red eyes: "Yes! You're right. I barely escaped death. From now on, I'll only do what I want to do and live the life I want to live!"

When Qin Suisui returned from Su Yunyi's place, she found Wen Lian waiting at the entrance of the family compound. He had never been here before and was not among the registered personnel. Since no one was home at Qin Suisui's house, the security guard could only let him wait there.

Upon seeing Wen Lian, Qin Suisui was stunned and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Wen Lian seemed oblivious to her expression. He pushed his bicycle forward and took down a large wooden bucket and a burlap sack hanging on the back of the bike, handing them to her: "Comrade Qin, this bucket contains the catch I got from the past two days at sea, and this sack contains the cassava my wife grew. She said you like to eat cold noodles, and this cassava is enough to make a lot."

"By the way, the typhoon is coming soon. Remember not to go out these next few days, especially not to the beach. The fish in the bucket should be enough for your family to eat for a few days."

"Please be careful. If you need any help, you can come to the Hongqiding Brigade to find me. You saved my life, and I am willing to go through fire and water for you."

He seemed to know what she was sensitive about, so he never mentioned Sun Ruwen, only talking about the kindness he had shown her. And as if afraid she would refuse, he didn't give her a chance to speak. After he finished speaking, he put the things directly on her bicycle, got on his bike, and rode away.

Qin Suisui was both annoyed and amused. She looked at the wooden bucket and sack tied to both ends of a thick hemp rope, which were placed securely on the back of her bicycle. He had prepared in advance in case she refused!

When Qin Suisui got home, she took the wooden bucket down and saw that the first thing that caught her eye was several pounds of small mackerel. Qin Suisui loved to eat mackerel. She would coat it with flour and egg and fry it until it was fragrant and crispy. The ones she had at home had been eaten up long ago, and she was craving this one!

Besides the small mackerel, there were also bamboo fish, blue crabs, cat's eye snails, clams, and surprisingly, just like last time, there was a ribbonfish. Qin Suisui had previously thought that Wen Lian had traded it with someone. But now she realized that he must have gotten it through the black market.

After carrying the large wooden bucket into the kitchen and placing it there, Qin Suisui opened the large burlap sack. Inside the sack, besides more than ten kilograms of cassava, there were several salted dried fish, a pile of dried shrimp, and a small burlap bag containing powder. Even before getting close, Qin Suisui could smell the aroma—it was pepper powder!

It's probably because they were worried she'd get caught in the rain and catch a cold, so they sprinkled pepper into the soup. It's really comforting to drink when you're feeling cold.

They really put their heart into it.

Around 3 p.m. that day, the daycare dismissed students early. Zan Zan had just returned home when it suddenly got dark outside, and a strong wind blew the mango tree in the yard so badly that it was swaying back and forth.

Worried that the branches might break and injure people, Pei Jiuyan and his group had already cut down quite a few branches from the mango tree yesterday afternoon. The honey hanging on the branches was estimated to weigh three or four pounds, and some of it was also cut off yesterday. The remaining branches were protected with a small wooden "house," which was tied very securely, so it should be safe enough.

The wind blew something down outside, probably hitting someone, as the sounds of crashing and groans of "ouch, ouch" echoed through the air.

Qin Suisui rushed to the vegetable garden and hurriedly picked all the ripe cucumbers and tomatoes. The wind was too strong, and the cucumber vines and tomato seedlings were being blown about. If the wind blew any longer, they would definitely not survive.

Zan Zan also rushed out to help. He was small and couldn't walk steadily in the wind, so he helped Qin Sui Sui hold the basket. He ran back and forth several times and picked three baskets of tomatoes and cucumbers, and a large basket of melons. Qin Sui Sui was panting heavily from exhaustion.

There were still five or six big watermelons left to pick. Qin Suisui wiped her sweat and rushed out again.

As the dark clouds pressed lower and lower, and the sky grew increasingly dark, Qin Suisui grew worried as Pei Jiuyan and the others still hadn't returned. She knew that Pei Jiuyan and the other two were leading a team to conduct pre-disaster inspections along the coast and in nearby villages. Had something happened to them?
