The next day, Jiang Yao packed up the lean meat porridge, beef buns, and cold side dishes she had prepared and prepared to deliver them to the neighbor's house for Xiao Mu and Shen Zhijie to try.
Upon opening the door, one could see Jiang Xue packing her bags and combing her hair.
Seeing Jiang Yao open the door, he immediately stood up and said, "Sister Yao Yao, you don't mind me staying here, do you?" After saying that, his eyes glanced at the breakfast in Jiang Yao's hand and paused for a moment.
She swallowed hard and stepped forward, saying, "Sister Yao Yao, let me help you with that!" She then reached out to take it.
Jiang Yao raised her arm, which was holding breakfast, to dodge the movement, and said, "No need, it's only a couple of steps away, I can do it myself." After saying that, she opened the door to Xiao Mu's house and went inside.
Seeing that Jiang Yao could open the door and go in without even knocking, Jiang Xue's eyes were filled with resentment and longing.
When Shen Zhijie came out after washing up, he saw that Jiang Yao had already set out breakfast in the dining room. He quickly walked to Jiang Yao's side and said, "What a feast!"
"Xiao Mu, come here quickly, Jiang Yao has prepared breakfast for you."
Seeing him say that, Jiang Yao looked up at Shen Zhijie and said, "What, you're not going to eat?"
"If you're not going to eat it, then I'll send it to the person at the door." He made a gesture as if to put it away.
Shen Zhijie asked doubtfully, "Eat, eat, I'll eat. I still want to eat Chef Jiang's food."
"Jiang Yao, what do you mean by 'at the door'?"
"You'll find out when you open the door." He said this as if it were a secret that couldn't be revealed.
"Oh, and just a reminder, you two men, remember to lock the door at night and take care of yourselves."
"Be careful, there might be wolves outside." Jiang Yao said, then smiled meaningfully.
Then she raised both hands to her cheeks, curled her fingers to mimic the sharp claws of a wolf, and then winked and howled like a ferocious wolf: "Awoo..."
Shen Zhijie pretended to be scared and said: I'm so scared!
Xiao Mu raised an eyebrow slightly, a faint smile slowly curving his lips, and sat down to eat his breakfast casually.
Even after the meal was over, the two were still whispering to each other, which made Xiao Mu a little curious.
Seeing Xiao Mu get up, Jiang Yao quickly asked, "Have you finished eating?"
How are you feeling today?
Is there anywhere else that feels uncomfortable?
Seeing that Jiang Yao's attention had returned to him, Xiao Mu said with a faint smile in his eyes, "I'm much better now. Thank you for taking care of me yesterday."
Jiang Yao thought of Xiao Mu holding her hand yesterday, and her cheeks flushed slightly as she said, "It's nothing. Didn't you take care of me when I was sick?"
Shen Zhijie helped deliver the tableware back to Jiang Yao's house. When he opened the door and saw Jiang Xue, he was pleasantly surprised!
No wonder Jiang Yao said she would know as soon as she opened the door.
When Jiang Xue saw Xiao Mu's door open, she assumed it was Xiao Mu coming out and gave what she considered a pure and lovely smile.
When Shen Zhijie saw the wolf grandmother's mysterious smile, he was startled.
Shen Zhijie: Damn it, that scared the hell out of me! I saw a ghost in broad daylight.
He patted his chest and said, "What, you're so reluctant to part with me that you've chased me all the way to my doorstep?"
Jiang Xue glared at Shen Zhijie, her eyes flashing with cold light, and said, "Where's your face?!"
"I didn't see it."
Seeing that Jiang Xue was quite angry, Shen Zhijie said slowly, "She's right here!"
"Isn't he handsome?"
Seeing that Shen Zhijie was so shameless, Jiang Xue angrily went back to her makeshift bed on the floor and lay down, ignoring Shen Zhijie.
In the afternoon, Sang Ze came to find Jiang Yao, Xiao Mu, and a few others.
Inform them that the authorities may be about to take action again, perhaps jointly taking over Shichang Village with the military, or possibly relocating them to the vicinity of Haizhou.
When Xiao Mu and Shen Zhijie heard the words "Haizhou," they couldn't help but exchange a glance.
What do you want to know about the situation in Haizhou?
No one knows better than the two of them.
We also learned from Sangze that the authorities planned to sort out the remaining supplies and transport them to the back mountain.
As the rain continues and the floodwaters continue to rise, officials are worried that if the remaining supplies are left in the shelters, someone might take them for themselves.
So they found Sangze and asked him to find some capable people to transport the remaining supplies to the back mountain.
In preparation for future migration groups.
That night, everyone slept soundly to the sound of rain. Xiao Mu, Jiang Yao, and the others, armed with their weapons, quietly made their way to the safety exit, where the authorities had already prepared five inflatable boats. Jiang Yao even spotted a familiar face there: Erpang.
Before the last time the Snow Alliance came to seize supplies, Erpang went out in a kayak and never returned. Everyone thought that Erpang had been silenced.
Who would have thought that Erpang was actually working for the government?
Sangze looked at everyone and said, "This time, follow Erpang's command for the route. As for the waterways, just row your boats and follow Erpang's boats."
Seeing that everyone was a little skeptical, Erpang said, "Don't worry, everyone. I went out earlier to explore the waterway."
"Everyone in the village knows that I, Erpang, am lazy and good-for-nothing, but don't forget that I used to be a water rat."
“It’s no easier in a flood than it is in a river.”
"There's a big difference between what's under the flood and what's not, but I won't go into detail for you."
"In short, everyone should follow my ship, and I will ensure your safety."
Because there are few kayaks and few people, the authorities have arranged for two people to ride in each kayak.
They set off at midnight every day and returned home at dawn.
On the first ship were Erpang and Shen Xi from the official position. Shen Xi was a tall man with thick eyebrows, big eyes, dark skin, and a strong Northeastern accent, who didn't seem to match his name.
It carries a small amount of supplies and serves as a lead ship to guide the following ships into the correct and safe waters. Therefore, the supplies cannot be too many, in case of unforeseen circumstances, it may be unable to turn around in time.
The second ship carried Shen Zhijie and Sang Ze.
On the third ship was Sang You, Sang Ze's younger brother. He was tall and well-proportioned, with a strong physique that exuded a rare poetic temperament. Brother Wang used to be a sailor, and perhaps because he spent many years at sea, he had a muscular build and spoke in a rough manner.
On the fourth ship was Liu Mingliang, an official. He was shrewd and cautious. The other ship was Zhou Bin, Shen Xi's deputy, who was taciturn.
The last ship was occupied by Xiao Mu and Jiang Yao, with the two of them bringing up the rear.
Shen Xi provided each person with a walkie-talkie so that everyone could contact each other at any time if anything happened.
The first stop for this batch of supplies was the back mountain. Don't underestimate the difficulty of going up the mountain, as floods, landslides, and slippery roads all contribute to the challenge.
On the lead ship, Erpang said into the walkie-talkie, "Everyone, pay attention to the course. We're starting to move."
"Reply received."
All the ships replied over the radio, "Roger that."
Not long after they set off, Xiao Mu noticed that the rain was getting heavier, so he pulled Jiang Yao up and found her a corner where she could take shelter from the rain, and had Jiang Yao sit there wearing a raincoat.
Xiao Mu used his raincoat to shield Jiang Yao from the wind and rain.
Even with strong winds and rain soaking his body, he didn't make any big movements, but continued rowing, following behind the group.
Faced with Xiao Mu's attentiveness, Jiang Yao's heart began to pound faster, and her hands unconsciously rested there.
