The bathroom door closed, An'an and Nuannuan played in the living room, Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan went into the kitchen to cook, and Ji Kangyong, being very perceptive, went out to fetch water.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Shen Yanming took out a rabbit, and Bi Qiaoan quickly gutted it.
After skillfully butchering the meat, wash it with water, and then boil water to cook it.
When Ji Kangyong came up, this was the scene he saw. He stared in disbelief, pointing at the rabbit and saying, "That speed is too fast!"
If he hadn't seen the bloody entrails, he would have thought that Shen Yanming had taken out a processed rabbit.
Bi Qiaoan raised an eyebrow and said smugly, "That's right. Back in the day, I caused trouble for no fewer than dozens of small animals in the guard team."
Ji Kangyong understood, thinking to himself that women really are creatures that cannot be judged solely on their appearance.
Like Bi Qiaoan, who looks thin and skinny, but is more muscular than most men.
Just like Li Yueya, who looks innocent and harmless, but is actually more ruthless than anyone else.
"Alright, go get us some more water. I have something to do outside, I'll be right back." After saying that, Shen Yanming pulled Ji Kangyong out the door.
Bi Qiaoan ignored them and focused on cooking. She even boiled a kettle of water, knocked on the bathroom door, and brought it to Qin Yiren.
Outside, Chi Kangyong asked, "Where are you going?"
Shen Yanming didn't hide anything: "Find Zhu Shiliang and find out if Qin Yiren's words are true or false."
Ji Kangyong asked in surprise, "You don't believe her?"
Shen Yanming shook his head: "I just wanted to confirm it again. In case she's hiding something, or... we can be on guard."
Ji Kangyong felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over his burning passion. His rationality returned to most of his body, and he nodded: "Then go ahead."
"Um."
It didn't take Shen Yanming long to find Zhu Shiliang and his family, who had just returned to the Hai City Guard Team that day. Besides them, there was also Wei Qin's family, Michelle and her husband Cheng Jun, and many other familiar faces.
Shen Yanming didn't spend time exchanging pleasantries with everyone. He simply greeted them briefly and then pulled Zhu Shiliang aside to inquire about Qin Yiren's situation.
Zhu Shiliang spoke frankly and told everything he knew, and in general, what he said was not much different from what Qin Yiren had said.
"That girl is quite pitiful. She has a straightforward and stubborn personality, unlike Li Yueya, who knows how to flatter and fawn."
Shen Yanming nodded and sighed, "That face, what a pity."
"Sigh, I hope she can find someone who won't look down on her and spend the rest of her life with him."
Shen Yanming didn't comment, only saying, "Then you should rest first, I'll come find you another day. By the way, the wild vegetables and mushrooms in the mountains are growing quite well lately, if you have time, you can ask your sister-in-law to go out and pick some. But don't go alone."
Although order is stable inside the base, the outside world is vast, and who knows what dark places might be lurking unnoticed.
Zhu Shiliang smiled and nodded: "Okay, once we're settled, we'll start stockpiling supplies."
After leaving, Shen Yanming went to the Traditional Chinese Medicine department. He used his credits to exchange for some medicinal herbs and then carried them home.
When he was at home, he sensed that Ji Kangyong had different feelings for Qin Yiren. He thought that since that was the case, he would lend a hand, at least to prevent his brother from marrying a woman with a face full of scars.
It's not that he values appearance that much, but rather that he clearly has the ability to help, so he can't just stand by and do nothing. Therefore, he prepares in advance, waiting for the right time to take out the scar removal cream.
He had stockpiled a lot of scar removal cream in his storage space, but he couldn't just take it out casually. Qin Yiren's face was so distinctive that she would probably be remembered as soon as she arrived at the guard team.
Restoring her youthful beauty would certainly cause a sensation. Shen Yanming had no choice but to purchase the necessary medicinal materials and reconstitute the formula. This way, even if Qin Yiren's face was healed, the ointment would have a plausible origin and wouldn't arouse suspicion.
As for its efficacy, there's no need to elaborate. It was officially certified several years ago, and its effects are top-notch, without any problems.
Shen Yanming opened his bedroom door and was greeted by a rich aroma. He quickly closed the door, placed the herbs on the cabinet, and said nothing.
Ji Kangyong caught a glimpse of it out of the corner of his eye, his eyes lit up, and the corners of his mouth turned up in a smile. But when Shen Yanming looked over, he quickly suppressed it.
Seeing his brother's self-deceptive behavior, Shen Yanming went into the kitchen and tried his best to suppress his laughter.
Upon seeing this, Bi Qiaoan winked at him, asking what was wrong. Shen Yanming's lips moved slightly, and Bi Qiaoan guessed what was going on.
Then, looking towards the living room, she thought this combination was quite nice. Although she had some initial conflicts with Qin Yiren, that girl was decisive, bold, and had a better personality than Li Yueya.
However, she dared not speak again, afraid of making things worse.
Qin Yiren, in the bathroom, changed the water several times before finally cleaning herself up. However, the wounds on her face got wet again.
She opened the door and said to Bi Qiaoan nervously, "I'm all washed, but my face is still wet. Could you use alcohol to clean it again?"
Bi Qiaoan came out of the kitchen, saw the neat and tidy Qin Yiren, smiled, and nodded: "Sure, what's the problem?"
Qin Yiren thought to herself, "Medical supplies are so scarce right now. Only Bi Qiaoan would dare to so openly give them away to others."
Bi Qiaoan left the kitchen to Shen Yanming, treated Qin Yiren's wounds herself, and also asked Ji Kangyong to go to the bathroom to wash up.
After hearing her arrangement, Qin Yiren blushed and said, "I used that towel until it turned black, I'm so sorry."
Bi Qiaoan was slightly surprised, then smiled and said, "It's okay, there are other towels in the bathroom, let him take one."
Ji Kangyong nodded, looking at Qin Yiren's flushed face, and a thought struck him. Her features were delicate, but the scars on her face deeply stung his eyes.
Suppressing the flutter in his heart, Ji Kangyong went into the bathroom. Breathing in the rising steam of the small space, he realized that he seemed to have fallen for someone. And it was the kind of flutter that didn't start with physical appearance.
But he didn't dare to pursue her immediately, fearing she might be another Li Yueya. He decided to let them get to know each other slowly as friends and deal with it later.
Ji Kangyong tidied himself up and came out to find the meal already prepared. The group ate the dry-pot rabbit meat with great satisfaction until their bellies were full, then they put down their bowls contentedly.
"It's great, I can finally have a full meal," Qin Yiren said, rubbing her stomach.
Bi Qiaoan finished cleaning up the dishes and replied with a smile, "As long as you work hard, you can still eat your fill in the guard team."
"Then what do you think I can do?" Qin Yiren sat up and asked Bi Qiaoan with a smile.
Bi Qiaoan smiled helplessly: "I don't know either, it depends on the arrangements from above. But Wen Mengguan is a very good leader, although he just lets everyone go hungry."
"Alright then, I'll trust you this once. I hope this place won't disappoint me."
