Upon entering, a wave of warmth washes over you. The room is heated, and the living room features understated yet luxurious leather sofas. Opposite the sofas is a large LCD TV, about ten meters long, and bright, spacious floor-to-ceiling windows.
This arrangement is just as impressive as the Zuo family's living room.
A coal mine is like a small base, and Uncle Li is like the base manager, the full-fledged base manager, and the owner of the property.
The group took off their coats and hats, finally revealing each other's true faces.
Li Wenyuan hasn't changed much from two years ago, except that he's a little thinner. He looks even more shrewd and wise.
Meanwhile, Li Wenyuan was also observing Bai Shuang and the others, and was surprised to find that their skin was even better than before the disaster.
Especially Bai Shuang, whose skin was as smooth as cream, was not an exaggeration at all. The corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, exuding a unique beauty. Her eyes were more mature and colder than before the disaster.
After the group sat down, a middle-aged woman came over with a tea tray. She was slightly plump, but gentle and graceful.
Li Wenyuan introduced her as his aunt, which surprised Bai Shuang and the others, but they quickly realized what was going on.
"Hello, Auntie Shi!"
"You must be Shuangshuang, right? Your martial uncle often mentions you."
"Thank you for your concern, Uncle and Aunt!"
"Who cares about you? You disobedient girl."
Aunt Li pursed her lips, not wanting to expose him, but he was stubborn as a mule.
Although Uncle Li would occasionally reprimand her, Bai Shuang still spoke very casually in front of him, and Aunt Li could feel the deep affection between them.
"You two chat, I'll go prepare lunch."
Aunt Shi sat for a short while and then left. She was worried that it would be inconvenient for Bai Shuang and the others to talk while she was there.
"Congratulations, Martial Uncle! Congratulations, Martial Uncle! When did you get married?"
Li Wenyuan looked at her, "Don't gossip about me yet. Tell me when you came to Longcheng? What have you been through?"
Bai Shuang honestly recounted their experience of coming to Dragon City to Uncle Li, but omitted the details related to the space.
The matter of storing the coal and horses in the space was described as being sent directly back to Tang City.
It wasn't that she didn't trust Uncle Li, but rather that it was better for as few people as possible to know about such an unbelievable thing.
Uncle Li also agreed with Bai Shuang's request for a consultation fee of 10,000 points per visit from the Zuo family.
Medicine is extremely expensive now, and with Bai Shuang's medical skills, charging 10,000 points each time is not unreasonable.
"Did you know that someone recently raided three major coal mining gang hideouts in Longcheng?"
Bai Shuang and Bai Jiu exchanged a glance.
"I heard about it. Who did it?"
Uncle Li looked at Bai Shuang with some suspicion.
Bai Shuang had no choice; her martial uncle was indeed shrewd!
She looked around, then took a moment to register what was happening; there was no one else there.
"We did it, otherwise the coal trucks wouldn't be able to get through."
"Just the three of you? You're really brave! That's dangerous!"
"Uncle-Master, where isn't dangerous in the apocalypse? There's no escaping it; only by becoming strong can you survive!"
That made sense, but he was still worried for Bai Shuang. She was one of the three major coal bandits in Longcheng! Since the natural disaster, she had been an unshakeable force. What if something went wrong?
Bai Shuang noticed his distress and said, "Uncle-Master, don't worry, we are very strong."
"No matter how powerful you are, you can't be reckless."
\"knew.
We've captured a lot of supplies and earned quite a few points at the Dragon City base. Just ask me for anything you need.
"I need nothing, just be at peace."
"You're a coal mine owner, of course you don't lack food. I bet what you lack most is ammunition. Do you have enough medicine? And fuel? I'll save some for you later."
Li Wenyuan did not expect that Bai Shuang would hit the nail on the head so quickly: he was short of weapons and often got into conflicts in order to protect the coal mine.
As for medicine, he is a doctor and is quite sensitive to it. He had stockpiled a lot before the disaster and is not short of it for the time being.
At least fuel oil—who doesn't need it these days? You could trade it for coal with the base, but the base also needs it.
"It's your turn. Tell us first, where did you find your aunt/master?"
Seeing Bai Shuang's gossipy expression, Li Wenyuan glared at him, then turned around and saw Bai Jiu and the other person staring at him as well.
He couldn't do anything with these younger people. If he didn't answer, they might ask again later, so he did.
Aunt Shi fell in love with Li Wenyuan when she was young, but unfortunately, his eyes only had eyes for Bai Shiyan.
He pursued Bai Shiyan relentlessly, but they never married. Meanwhile, Aunt Li waited for him back in their hometown and occasionally helped take care of his parents.
And so, Bai Shiyan passed away. Before the apocalypse, he returned to his hometown and found that she was still waiting for him.
Their parents are also urging them to be together.
He finally fell in love. He had tasted the bitterness of unrequited love before. The beloved was gone, but the living must go on with their lives.
At this age, why not accept her, take care of each other, and spend the rest of your lives together?
Aunt Li's looks, temperament, and abilities are not as good as Bai Shiyan's, but she has a good character and is hardworking and conscientious.
Bai Shuang's eyes darted around. "Uncle-Master, do you want me to help you regulate your bodies? Maybe we can even have a little junior brother or sister."
Li Wenyuan's eyes widened again.
"I am a doctor myself, why would I need your help?"
We're already this age, we should just live our own lives, why suffer like that?
Just then, their teacher's wife came over to invite them to dinner.
Bai Shuang first took out the snow leopard's bowl, put out dog food for it, and then went to eat her own meal.
On the table were stir-fried eggs with green peppers, cured meat, green vegetables, cured fish, and a large bowl of chicken soup in the middle.
The staple food is rice.
These are all very expensive during natural disasters. There are greenhouses for vegetables, but not many. There are chickens, but not many, only a dozen or so.
