Chapter 23 Receiving the Goods
Jiang Rong took the earliest flight to J Province on the 20th, first arrived in Shangqing City, and then took the high-speed rail from Shangqing City back to Xinan County, but did not return home immediately.
"Rongrong! Here!"
After Jiang Rong got off the high-speed train, she saw Zhao Caier, Xin Jue and Jiang Suan who came to pick her up as soon as she walked out of the station.
Her originally calm expression suddenly became disturbed, and then her eyes turned slightly red, and a line of tears silently slid down the corners of her eyes.
Then she fell into a warm embrace.
"Rongrong, welcome home."
Zhao Caier hugged Jiang Rong with some distress, and then patted Jiang Rong's back gently. She knew her sister's personality. She had never seen Jiang Rong cry for anything since she was a child.
At this moment, she saw Jiang Rong holding back his tears, and she couldn't help but have red eyes too.
They must have suffered greatly in the natural disaster!!!
The hug didn't last long.
It ended with Jiang Rong's nasal "hmm".
At this time, Xin Jue and Jiang Suan were standing aside and watching silently.
There was also a hint of worry in Xin Jue's eyes.
As for Jiang Garlic, he had already begun to clench his little fists.
His sister must have been bullied outside!!!
Otherwise, he had never seen her cry for anything.
From childhood to adulthood, never.
But he didn't dare to ask now, for fear that asking would make his sister even more sad.
"Sister, you are finally back. Let's go home quickly. Grandma has been waiting for you to come back for a long time. We killed a big fat chicken today and stewed a big pot of chicken soup, as well as braised pig's trotters with soybeans, waiting for you to come back and eat them."
Jiang Suan was a smart boy. After watching his two sisters finish hugging each other, he trotted forward and held his sister's hand.
Cold.
Colder than his hands.
Feeling the cold temperature of the fingers, Jiang Suan subconsciously tightened his grip.
Jiang Rong's emotions were out of control for only a moment, and he was no longer immersed in sadness.
What replaced it was gratitude, joy and peace of mind.
Only when she actually saw these people did her anxious heart finally settle down.
"Welcome home."
At this time, Xin Jue also came up and smiled gently at Jiang Rong.
He looks very gentle and refined, handsome and elegant, and this smile makes people feel like spring breeze.
A wolf in sheep's clothing, Jiang Rong thought subconsciously.
Then I thought, fortunately, this wolf in sheep's clothing is one of us.
She burst into laughter and nodded slightly at Xin Jue.
After that, the few of them did not go back immediately. Instead, they called home, told Grandma Jiang that they would be back later, and went straight to the large warehouse rented by Zhao Caier.
Xin Jue drives.
Ginger and garlic are the co-pilot.
Jiang Rong and Zhao Caier sat in the back.
"Rongrong, can you tell me now? Where did so much money come from?" Zhao Caier asked puzzledly.
She never figured it out.
Jiang Rong gave her and Xin Jue a total of 110 million yuan.
She still feels like she is dreaming.
Although the money has been almost spent, it is still a great pleasure! ! !
It's really comfortable to have money to buy things.
"I bought a piece of jadeite raw stone at a very high price in Y City, and then sold it and made some money." Jiang Rong said concisely.
After hearing this, Zhao Caier...
She is so calm when faced with hundreds of millions of yuan, she is worthy of being her sister.
"So who are we now?"
Zhao Caier didn't know that Jiang Rong had a space. Jiang Rong had never told her about this matter until now. She only told them about the natural disaster.
"Go to the warehouse to receive the goods."
She didn't explain it in detail.
After hearing this, Zhao Caier felt a little confused. How could she pack so many things?
However, although she was confused, she did not continue to ask. If she could or wanted to say it, Rongrong would definitely explain it in more detail.
It wasn't that Jiang Rong had anything she couldn't say or didn't want to say. She just wanted them to see it with their own eyes and then tell them that she was not exaggerating.
After all, the natural disaster has not come yet, but her two childhood friends are able to cooperate with her so well now, and they do whatever she says. This is really not something that ordinary people can do.
If it were someone else, they would probably send her to a mental hospital right from the start...
The warehouse is located in a light industrial park in Xin'an County, surrounded by many clothing factories and tape factories, and there are relatively many workers. But most of the time, people are working in the factory and don't see what's going on outside.
This industrial park is located roughly at the junction of Xinan County and various small villages. It is only a few kilometers away from Qingshan Village, Jiang Rong’s hometown, and it only takes more than 20 minutes to get there by car.
It’s just the edge of Qingshan Village.
Therefore, their current route is also the route back home, and passing through the industrial park is just on the way.
It took about ten minutes to get from the high-speed rail station to the county center, and then another five or six minutes before they finally arrived at the warehouse.
Afterwards, Jiang Rong and several others entered the warehouse one after another, closed the door, and then turned on the warm yellow lights in the warehouse.
The visibility in the warehouse was dim, but it was enough for people to see the scene inside clearly.
Then, in front of the three people, Jiang Rong walked around and collected almost an entire warehouse full of Western medicine, Chinese medicine, medical equipment, and some other supplies.
It seems that in addition to the ones she asked for, Cai'er and Xin Jue also stockpiled a lot of other things.
Jiang Rong muttered to himself as he hoarded food.
Then, wherever she passed, everything disappeared, but she had never touched those supplies from beginning to end.
The three people standing on the other side were all shocked by this.
It's just that the degree of surprise is different.
There was a look of calm surprise in Xin Jue's eyes, and Zhao Caier's face was stunned. She had indeed seen this kind of special ability in some apocalyptic novels before.
As for Jiang Suan, he opened his mouth slightly. Could it be that his sister has become an immortal? Is she using magic? Otherwise, how could those things suddenly disappear by themselves?
And there are so many things!!!
Jiang Suan didn't know exactly how many things were in the warehouse, he just knew that everything was there, so he called it "so many, so many"...
Jiang Rong spent several minutes putting everything into the space.
The remaining space has been almost used up. She estimated that there is still some space left to store some miscellaneous items, but it is probably not possible to store large quantities of things like now.
However, ever since she plundered a huge amount of jadeite raw stones from the jade raw stone mine, Lingyu has basically been staying quietly in the space to absorb the energy of the jadeite.
Although it absorbs very slowly, and it may take a month to absorb a piece of medium-quality jade the size of a football, the jade talisman space is still slowly and in real time changing with the absorption of energy.
She estimated that when the Jade Talisman Space was upgraded again, there should be some new changes in the space, not just becoming bigger.
Lingyu had accidentally revealed a little of this when he was bragging to himself.
However, she had no idea when the space would be upgraded. She estimated that it was still a long way from the critical point...
After that, Jiang Rong looked straight into her eyes and explained.
"At this time, my supernatural power and space came with me. You may also have it in the future, but the possibility of not having it cannot be ruled out."
Jiang Rong did not mention anything about the jade talisman, nor did she mean to be on guard against them. She just felt that there was no need to tell them about the jade talisman. They only needed to know that she had superpowers.
And sooner or later they will have to know about the space, otherwise how are they going to store and use all the things she has hoarded?
After hearing this, Xin Jue and Zhao Caier both nodded with complicated expressions. Originally, they might have still had some hope in their hearts, thinking that the so-called natural disaster might not necessarily come, and perhaps it was just an extremely real dream of Jiang Rong.
They are willing to hoard with Jiang Rong and do anything that may seem crazy to others, but it does not mean that they will really hope that the natural disaster is real when the end comes. They would rather work in vain.
Even so...
Xin Jue may be at a much greater risk of being arrested and put in jail in the future on charges of spreading rumors and causing public unrest.
But now, after seeing the ability displayed by Jiang Rong, the two of them basically knew that the natural disaster was settled and there was no room for turning back.
At this time, they were secretly rejoicing in their hearts that people had begun to take the prophecy of this natural disaster seriously.
In the natural disaster prophecy they made this time, they also clearly reminded everyone of the specific type of natural disaster and the approximate duration of its duration, but it was only the seven years that Jiang Rong experienced, and did not represent all.
Jiang Rong didn't have the chance to see the end of the natural disaster, but she hoped she could this time.
As the influence of doomsday prophecies grows, people's stockpiling has swept across China and even affected foreign countries to a certain extent.
This directly led to the largest-scale, most participated, and most far-reaching nationwide stockpiling movement in the history of the Communist Party of China.
At this point, it was almost impossible for gj not to notice.
And according to some internal information, there has been a clear notice that supports the public to stock up more things on a rational basis to prevent problems before they occur.
It was also driven by the above factors that fueled the current wave of hoarding.
In addition, it happens that the Chinese New Year is just around the corner. This year's Chinese New Year falls on February 3rd in the Gregorian calendar. This is the time every year when people start preparing to stock up on New Year's goods, so the supply reserves in various places are relatively complete, and everyone's pockets are still relatively full at this time, so there is more time and money to stock up more things.
Jiang Rong, Xin Jue and Zhao Caier all had complicated expressions at this moment. Zhao Caier was stunned for a moment and then stepped forward and hugged her sisters tightly.
For seven years, she had been alone in that world, helpless, and she must not have been at peace when she died. Zhao Caier felt distressed just thinking about it, and her mood became heavy again.
"Rongrong, we are here to accompany you this time." Zhao Caier stroked Jiang Rong's thin back again, her voice tinged with tears.
This time Jiang Rong didn't cry anymore. The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, revealing a happy smile, and she reached out to hug Zhao Caier back.
He said lightly: "Okay."
These three people were acting strangely, as if they were having some encrypted conversation, except Jiang Suan, who was confused and had a panicky mind, as if he knew what was going on.
At this moment, whether he has supernatural powers or not is no longer important to him.
He just wanted to know what happened to his sister. Why did she listen to Sister Caier's words, as if she had experienced something bad? !
Although Jiang Suan is young, only about ten years old, his parents died when he was young and he only has an older sister and a grandmother around him. He is actually more mature and sensitive than many of his peers.
Jiang Rong hugged Cai'er back for a while.
Afterwards, he carefully reminded the people present that the matter of space was known only to heaven, earth, you and me.
Of course Xin Jue and Zhao Caier nodded without any surprise.
"Rongrong, don't worry. We know the seriousness of the matter. It's just..." Zhao Caier said as she glanced at the little guy Jiang Suan beside her.
Jiang Rong nodded.
Then he walked up and grabbed his brother's long hair a few times.
It's thin and soft, and the child's hair quality is pretty good.
Jiang Rong muttered to himself.
Then he said, "Don't tell anyone about what you saw today. Grandma won't tell anyone either. I, your sister, will tell you when the time comes. If this gets to other people in our family, they will wish that our whole family is dead and take away the things we have stored. Even if they don't kill us, we will die in a ruthless natural disaster. I will die, so will grandma, and so will you. I'm just kidding you. Do you understand?"
The recent natural disaster and doomsday were so massive that even her grandmother called her to urge her to go home quickly. There was no reason why her precocious brother wouldn't know about it.
So Jiang Rong spoke frankly without any hesitation.
Natural disasters are cruel. No one can live in a fairy tale under such circumstances. Although Jiang Rong has stockpiled a lot of supplies, he does not want ginger and garlic to grow into a flower raised in a greenhouse.
So he will know everything he should know.
Jiang Suan looked at his sister's somewhat cold expression at that moment and nodded blankly.
"Do you understand?" Jiang Rong asked again.
"Understood."
Jiang Suan was actually a little confused. How did it get to the point of death? He was also a little PTSD about the word death. It reminded him of his parents who had passed away long ago.
Besides, his grandmother and sister were everything in his little life, and he couldn't imagine the possibility that either of them would leave him forever...
Jiang Suan's mind was now filled with panic. Although he was precocious, he was still only a teenager after all. After being frightened by Jiang Rong, he was somewhat at a loss.
Jiang Rong did not comfort him and let him digest it himself.
Besides, she was just stating the facts, and she had to face them. She couldn't wait until Jiang Suan did something bad before teaching him a lesson, right? That would be too late.
After hearing Jiang Suan's response, Jiang Rong nodded, stroked Jiang Suan's head, and put his hair, which had just been messed up, back into place.
Then he turned around and walked towards Xin Jue and Cai'er.
Then he said: "How did you get those bulletproof equipment and gun grenades?!"
Jiang Rong noticed it when he just received the goods.
There weren't many things, but they were at least enough for the three of them to use to protect themselves at critical moments.
When she saw those things, she was also quite surprised!!!
These items were not included in her stockpiling plan at all.
It is not so easy to get these things in their country, at least it is much more difficult than getting gasoline...
Anyway, she wasn't very good at it, so she didn't even consider the feasibility of getting it.
