"Let them through!"
Ning Yanlan turned around, and the commander of the Northern City Alliance ordered the others to immediately remove the Gatling gun and the roadblocks.
"Is that all?" Zhu Penghai asked in surprise.
When Ning Yanlan walked back, she deliberately made a face at Jiang Yuan. Although her smile looked very innocent, Jiang Yuan keenly caught a trace of guilt and... reluctance in it.
Bang! Ning Yanlan slammed the car door shut. "Let's go home!"
"Big sister, you're awesome!" Qian Kai gave Ning Yanlan a thumbs up.
"It's not what you think. I just explained to them why we came, that we accidentally injured one of their people, and then apologized to them, and that was it!"
After finishing her sentence, Ning Yanlan added with a sigh, "The people of the Northern Alliance are so polite, unlike the domineering and dictatorial warlords of the Southern City!"
"Is it really that simple?" Qian Kai asked, puzzled.
"Otherwise what! Are they going to be unreasonable and try to keep us here? They were the guardians of China before the cataclysm, they wouldn't do something so despicable!" Ning Yanlan said.
"Let's go, aren't we driving?" Ning Yanlan reminded them when she saw them standing there in a daze.
Zhu Penghai then started the car and drove away from Refugee Camp No. 1. When they passed the roadblock, the North City Alliance officer was about to salute subconsciously, but Ning Yanlan glanced over and his action turned into a greeting.
"Next time you break into Kashu, don't blame the North City Alliance for being impolite!"
The Northern City Alliance commander, whose little hands didn't know what to do, finally managed to defuse the inexplicable awkwardness with a harsh remark.
"Yes, sir!" Zhu Penghai offered a cigarette, then gave an awkward smile and left.
They encountered no further incidents along the way and successfully entered the southern part of the city.
Farewell!
Jiang Yuan and his two companions drove the car they had "found" back to Li Xiang's house. As soon as they entered, they found Li Xiang already waiting outside.
"Xiao Xin!"
"Mother!"
Li Xiang hugged Xiao Xin, who had just gotten out of the car, with tears streaming down her face.
"Sister-in-law, we're back!" Ning Yanlan and Jiang Yuan stood to one side.
"Why did you go for two days? I was so worried about you!" Li Xiang said, tears streaming down her face as she released Xiao Xin from her pillow.
"One day should have been enough, but we rested at a friend's house for a while on the way, so it was delayed!" Ning Yanlan didn't mention the danger Xiao Xin encountered outside, but kept it a secret.
"Mom, it's scary outside, but with Sister Yanlan and Brother Jiangyuan here, I'm not afraid!" Xiaoxin shook her head and said bravely.
“Sister-in-law, Xiao Xin’s strength will steadily improve in the coming days. There’s no need for you to send her to the warlords!” Ning Yanlan looked directly at Li Xiang, and this time her aura carried an undeniable air of authority.
"Mom, I can fight monsters now!" Xiao Xin said weakly, blinking her eyes.
"Xiao Xin, Mom has thought it through these past two days. I'm not sending you to the army!" Li Xiang pressed her forehead against Xiao Xin's forehead. "Mom has been thinking about this for the past two days. I've been so anxious just not seeing you for two days. I definitely couldn't bear the torment of being sent to the army!"
"It's good that Sister Li has come to her senses!" Jiang Yuan said.
"Sister-in-law, Jiang Yuan and I will cook tonight. You and Xiao Xin should go and rest!" Ning Yanlan suddenly said.
"Us?" Jiang Yuan hesitated, then stopped himself from speaking.
"What's wrong? Are you unwilling?" Ning Yanlan glared at Jiang Yuan.
“I’m willing, I’m willing!” Jiang Yuan immediately replied.
Knowing Ning Yanlan's personality, Li Xiang could only say, "Alright, I'll go change Xiao Xin's clothes and then teach her to read and write!"
Although the world has changed, knowledge remains the same and must be mastered.
"Okay, the kitchen is ours to do today!"
Li Xiang and her daughter entered the room. Ning Yanlan did not cook, but instead removed her makeup and tied her hair up.
As Jiang Yuan watched Ning Yanlan's face slowly overlap with the one he had seen when they first met, he felt calm. Their feelings for each other had nothing to do with beauty or ugliness, even if Ning Yanlan looked like a ghost...
Pshaw, that's impossible!
"Why did you decide to cook today?" Jiang Yuanshou asked with a smile, looking at Ning Yanlan in the mirror.
"Let someone witness my true culinary skills!" Ning Yanlan had just finished applying lipstick, and with a smile, she looked at Jiang Yuan.
"There's plenty of time! There will be plenty of opportunities in the future!" Jiang Yuan said with a mischievous smile.
"There's plenty of time!" Ning Yanlan nodded lightly, repeating the idiom. "Yes, there is indeed a chance!"
"Unfortunately, today's meal wasn't just made for you!"
Ning Yanlan shrugged slightly, then began tidying up her cosmetics. "We have guests today! You'd better do your best!"
"Huh? Where did these guests come from? Aren't there only the four of us?" Jiang Yuan asked in surprise. He had been here for several days and hadn't seen any guests!
"Keep it a secret!"
