"When we get to Suzhou, stay away from those two. I have a feeling they're up to no good," Bi Qiaoan instructed Shen Yanming after they set off.
Shen Yanming nodded. "That's exactly what I was thinking of reminding you! By the way, where's the food? Eat it before it gets cold!"
"Okay!" Bi Qiaoan put the goose into her spatial storage, then took out a lunchbox from her bag, wiped her hands clean with a wet wipe, pinched out a small bun and brought it to Shen Yanming's mouth, saying, "I'll feed you first, and then I'll eat by myself later."
Shen Yanming smiled and did not refuse. He took a bite and ate half of the small bun, which was divided in half with the skin, and then took another bite and ate the whole bun.
Bi Qiaoan peeled another boiled egg and fed it to Shen Yanming, while muttering to herself, "It should have been kept in the space and not taken out. It's been outside for a while and it's gotten a bit cold."
"I was thinking that if we weren't in a hurry, we could eat at the square before we set off. Who knew so many things would happen this morning? I still have no experience! But it's not a big deal. It's hot now, so eating something warm won't upset my stomach."
"Mmm!" Bi Qiaoan fed Shen Yanming one dish after another until he was full.
Then I finished off the remaining steamed bun, boiled egg, and a few pieces of sushi, and then unscrewed the thermos and took a sip of warm milk.
Of course, it's easy to choke while drinking, so Bi Qiaoan used a straw.
After they had eaten and drunk their fill, the two of them were in the mood to take in the surroundings. Because it gets light early now, the sun was already high in the sky shortly after the convoy set off.
The gray asphalt road gleamed in the sunlight, and the surrounding vegetation had sprouted tender buds. Occasionally, there were a few cracks in the road surface, but fortunately, they weren't very noticeable.
Every now and then there's a mound of earth or a pile of stones. Looking at the marks on the ground, it seems like someone deliberately cleared the "roadblocks" to the side.
Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan thought that it was probably the guards who set off yesterday who did it, which allowed them, who arrived late, to get a free ride.
The journey was long and the car was moving slowly, and before long, Bi Qiaoan became drowsy. Just as she was about to close her eyes to rest, she noticed that Shen Yanming was also yawning.
Bi Qiaoan was startled and asked, "Didn't you sleep well last night?"
"I went up the mountain and fetched two buckets of spiritual spring water, which I've placed in the kitchen of the mobile villa. I've also packed several medicine packets, some for stopping diarrhea, some for clearing heat, and some for relieving summer heat, which I've placed on the coffee table in the living room. If anyone needs them, you can take them out for everyone to use."
Shen Yanming didn't hide anything, fearing that if he didn't explain clearly, Qiao An wouldn't know that he had prepared something in his space.
"So, you didn't sleep all night?" Bi Qiaoan asked with concern.
"No, I slept for an hour or two, but I'm a bit sleepy now. How about you make me a cup of coffee?" Shen Yanming said with a smile.
Bi Qiaoan nodded and used her consciousness to operate the grinder in the space, starting to grind coffee beans. Then she poured out a cup of spiritual spring water, preparing to use it to brew coffee later.
But Shen Yanming seemed to know Bi Qiaoan inside her mouth. Just as she was about to pour the spiritual spring water into the coffee machine, she heard a voice from outside the space: "Don't use spiritual spring water to boil it, or I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep tonight."
Bi Qiaoan jolted, spilling the spiritual spring water onto the worktable. She was heartbroken; such a perfectly good cup of spiritual spring water, wasted like that.
After she opened her eyes, she glared angrily at Shen Yanming.
"What's wrong?" Shen Yanming thought to himself, probably because his wife had already started cooking with the spiritual spring water, which was why she was sulking.
"Why didn't you say so earlier? My hand slipped, and I spilled a cup of spiritual spring water on the table, wasting it." Bi Qiaoan said with a hint of resentment.
"I thought it was something serious. We can just collect the water from the table and use it to water the fruit trees. It's not a waste."
"Okay, whatever you say."
Bi Qiaoan closed her eyes again, and when she opened them again, she bent down and took out a glass from beside her feet. The glass was half full of brown liquid.
The moment it appeared, Shen Yanming felt much more energetic just from smelling it.
After letting it cool slightly, I put a straw in it as usual, and then handed it to Shen Yanming's mouth so that he could take a couple of sips.
After finishing the drink, Bi Qiaoan placed the cup at her feet and stored it in her spatial storage before finally drifting off to sleep.
Several hours later, everyone finally arrived in Suzhou. The scorching sun beat down on them, making it feel even hotter than in Shanghai.
After waking Bi Qiaoan, Shen Yanming helped her out of the car to report for duty. Of course, they let the goose out first before getting out of the car.
Since it was noon, Li Gangtie first helped everyone settle in.
Yes, there are tents, sleeping bags, and other things in the luggage area of the bus, which are prepared for them. Li Gangtie didn't let everyone assign themselves freely; he simply called out names to divide them into groups and then led everyone to the rest area to set up their tents.
When Tong Xianbao heard that his name wasn't called, he raised his hand and asked in confusion, "Captain, why isn't my name on the list?"
"Don't you know why there isn't one? Did you come here to work or to date?" Li Gangtie retorted without any politeness.
Before Tong Xianbao could say anything, Lu Nanfang pointed at Bi Qiaoan and said, "Aren't they even more outrageous? At least I came to help, but what did they come to have a baby?"
Bi Qiaoan... it's truly a case of being standing on the side of the road and getting blamed from the sky.
Before Li Gangtie could speak, Bi Qiaoan explained, "Comrade Xiao Lu, I am also a newly recruited guard, so I am qualified to be here."
Furthermore, due to my special circumstances, I will likely not participate in this rescue operation. Of course, I will also not utilize the resources of the Hai City and Su City security forces.
In a way, you could indeed consider me as someone who came here to have a baby.
Lu Nanfang hadn't expected things to turn out this way, but she and Tong Xianbao hadn't prepared anything when they arrived. If Li Gangtie didn't help, their plan wouldn't be able to proceed.
Lu Nanfang could only soften her tone and plead, "Captain Li, I've already come all this way, please be kind and let me join you. I can do a lot of things, really!"
If you don't arrange accommodation for me, I'll have to sleep on the ground and sleep under the open sky. Can you bear to see that?"
Seeing that Lu Nanfang was being so humble, some people pleaded for her, "Captain, she's already come all this way, why don't we let her stay? Anyway, Qiao An doesn't need the team's tent, so why don't we give her the extra one?"
Before Li Gangtie could even agree, Lu Nanfang pressed her advantage, clasping her hands together and bowing deeply in gratitude: "Thank you, Captain! I will definitely do my best!"
Li Gangtie glared at the person pleading for mercy, then left without saying a word.
Those who stayed behind continued to pitch their tents in the same spot. Shen Yanming observed for a moment, then chose a place some distance away from them and set up his own small tent.
