When Jiang Qiao came out of the cave, there was nothing to be seen on the sea. It was unclear whether the island was covered by fog or the fog on the sea had spread here.

Fortunately, visibility on the island was still acceptable. "Brother Song, Brother Song—"

From afar came Song Shutian's reply, "What's wrong? Have you found anything to eat?"

No, what about you?

"I'm looking for it too—"

Since the other party was searching, Jiang Qiao was no longer in a hurry. She hadn't properly checked the situation on the island yet. To be honest, there weren't many other things on the island, but there were many birds, all nesting on the cliff edge. If she tried to shoot a bird, even if she did, it would just fall into the sea.

She sighed inwardly. What a mess! There was so much food in her space, but she just couldn't get it out.

While searching for something, she also ate something extra. She was thinking that if she couldn't find anything else, she would have to risk taking something from her spatial storage. Other things wouldn't work, but potatoes or sweet potatoes would be a good excuse.

"Jiang Qiao, Jiang Qiao, come and see what this is—"

Following Song Shutian's shouts, Jiang Qiao went to investigate. However, on the way, she discovered two withered plants that were unrecognizable. Her intuition told her that they looked like potatoes.

Ignoring what Song Shutian had discovered, she squatted down and started digging. And guess what? She was right! There really were potatoes underneath, and they were quite big. She didn't know if it was because the soil on the island was fertile or because nothing else was competing with them for nutrients, but anyway, it was a lucky break for her.

"Brother Song, I've found something good. I'll be there in a bit."

Song Shutian also squatted down to dig. This thing was beyond his expectations. Just when he was about to give up, it actually appeared. Heaven had not forsaken them.

However, Song Shutian didn't dig up as many as Jiang Qiao; the two of them together only managed to find a dozen or so.

"This is already very good. At least we have something to eat, and besides, you can catch fish, so you won't starve for now. Let's go—"

As the two men were carrying potatoes back, they could faintly hear the sound of a ship's motor on the sea. They immediately became alert, unsure whether it was an enemy or a friend.

Jiang Qiao was immediately puzzled. "At this time, our rescue ships should have just arrived. Even if they have, they should be rescuing people first—"

Song Shutian pulled Jiang Qiao aside, and the two hid behind the rocks. They couldn't see each other's situation, and they guessed the other person was in the same boat.

"Guo Zhigang, Guo Zhigang—"

Hearing the sound coming from the sea, the two of them understood immediately. This was the enemy's support ship, but they hadn't found Guo Zhigang. It had been patrolling the waters around here last night.

"What should we do? What if they come up here?"

Faced with Jiang Qiao's question, Song Shutian was also in a dilemma. They only had two guns and not enough bullets. If the other party really forced their way onto the island, things would be really hard to say.

There's no good terrain on the island, no place to hide. It's such a small place; if you really want to look, you can definitely find them.

However, he was an adult, and even though he was worried, he couldn't say anything else in front of Jiang Qiao.

"It's alright, I'm here. You go and inform the people in the cave to be on guard, and we can evacuate at any time."

Jiang Qiao frowned. "Brother Song, where do we retreat to?"

Song Shutian gave a wry smile. "We can't just let them trap us in the cave and beat us up. Wait for my news."

Jiang Qiao went into the cave and told everyone about the situation outside. Guo Zhi, who had been lying on the ground pretending to be dead, immediately perked up. His helpers had arrived.

"Young lady, hurry up and untie me. When my friend arrives, I might be lenient. Otherwise, once he gets here, even if I want to plead for him, he might not agree."

Jiang Qiao was too lazy to even answer him, so she simply stuffed her glove into his mouth.

Old Zhong stared at Jiang Qiao with a nervous expression. "Should we leave?"

Jiang Qiao shook her head. "Let's all pack our things and wait for Brother Song's news."

Old Zhong only needed to take care of the bag in his hand. Qiao Jie and Lin Laidi quickly put their belongings into the basket, while the old lady nervously hugged her grandson and sat by the fire.

Little Bean isn't stupid. Although he's young, he's seen everything that's happened these past two days.

"Grandma, are bad guys coming?"

The old lady patted her grandson on the back and said, "It's alright. Grandma is here, and your uncles and the others will definitely not let our little Douzi get hurt. We still need to go find your parents later."

Qiao Jie tugged at his granddaughter's arm. "Qiao'er, here, you can use this in a pinch."

The old man handed Jiang Qiao the sleeping pills he was carrying, worried that his granddaughter might rush ahead.

You said those people are all desperate criminals. If Jiang Qiao were to face off against them, he would probably suffer a loss. With this thing in hand, he could at least take down a group of them.

Jiang Qiao nodded, put away the things, and then stood guard at the cave entrance. If there was any disturbance, she could quickly lead the old and the young to evacuate.

After waiting for a long time without any movement, Song Shutian finally came over. "It's alright, those people have left. They probably didn't hear Guo Zhigang's response. Besides, with such thick fog, they wouldn't dare to land on the island easily. They're probably scared. You can relax for now. I'll continue to observe from outside. Those who need to rest, please rest."

Jiang Qiao was about to curse. If you're going to come, just come already. You've made everyone so nervous. The old man and woman were resting, but now they can't sleep well.

"Grandpa Qiao, you all continue to rest. I'm here. Little Bean, come to your sister."

"Grandma Lin, I'm looking after Xiaodouzi. You two need to rest well so you can help us keep watch tonight."

Qiao Jie nodded silently. The situation was beyond their control now. Only if they rested well would they not become a burden to the children.

Jiang Qiao placed the potatoes she had acquired under the fire to roast. Only by eating her fill could she have the strength to fight the enemy. Regardless of whether the enemy came or not, she needed to be prepared.

"Uncle Zhong, you stay here and watch over things, Little Bean. I'll go check the cave entrance. Be a good boy and listen to me, okay? I'll give you a piece of candy."

The little one saw the candy and nodded with a smile, "Sister, I won't make a sound. If bad guys come, I'll hide and won't let them catch me."

Jiang Qiao smiled and patted the little guy's head, "Yes, our little bean is the best-behaved and the bravest."

As Jiang Qiao went out, the sound of an engine came from the sea again. Song Shutian, who was guarding not far away, waved to Jiang Qiao. Jiang Qiao went over, and the two discussed it.

Song Shutian planned to go down and intercept the enemy if they landed on the island.

"Jiang Qiao, please protect Lao Zhong and what he has."
