Bai Shuang stood at the window, staring at the people across the street, worried that they might be carrying some kind of weapon. Bai Jiu and Bai Chang stood behind Bai Shuang.
The shouting match between Aunt Wang and the others had already begun.
"Hey, what's going on here? So nobody wants your daughter, and you're trying to force yourself on her?"
The other side: "He defiled our daughter, he should take responsibility!"
"And you've even defiled your daughter? You probably wanted to seduce her but failed, didn't you?"
"That young master Bai is a dragon among men, why would he take a liking to you common chickens? Who knows what he's up to?"
"A toad lusting after a swan? Doesn't it even know its place? Everyone wants to climb up to it?"
Bai Jiu, who was called "swan meat,"...
"Hey, I'm telling you, you guys are all a bit dim-witted. If you really can't afford to raise them, just send them to a den of lecherous wolves. Maybe they can even earn you some food."
"Yes, yes, there's one in the building diagonally across from us. Hurry up, lie down on the bed, and you'll definitely make a comfortable living earning grain there."
"Also, you ladies who aren't old yet are still quite capable. Hurry up, maybe you'll return with a full load in no time. If you want to do business long-term, you can simply stay here and eat."
...
The women opposite were dumbfounded. One after another, they were talking, and the women couldn't get a word in edgewise. Who was this crazy woman? She could curse even more than they could.
Bai Shuang also sighed, saying that professional matters should be left to professionals, as she was really not good at arguing.
After scolding for a while, Bai Shuang felt that was enough and nodded to Liu Zhongyi.
Liu Zhongyi understood and loudly told the person next to him, "Have someone notify the other side that there are several women here who can't find men, and tell them to come and take them away as soon as possible."
Someone rowed the boat forward, and the women panicked; they had been given orders and were on a mission.
If things don't go well, at most you'll be punished or go hungry for a day. But you absolutely mustn't mess things up, that could be fatal.
Thinking of this, they quickly rowed the boat and rushed out of the community.
Finally, the problem was solved, and Bai Shuang breathed a sigh of relief.
"Aunt Wang, well done! Two jin of grain for everyone. I also have a big basin of loaches at home; I'll take them out and distribute them to everyone later."
"Miss Xie Bai."
Almost every household in the building participated. Apart from the few women that Aunt Wang had found, everyone else came down to help when they heard the commotion.
With this delay, no one in the building went out to look for supplies. Bai Shuang doesn't lack those things. Last time, she even took several thousand catties of grain from that old bastard Sun Zheng. Bai Shuang wouldn't eat his food.
Everyone who participated and contributed their labor should be given what they deserve. For Aunt Wang and a few others who are known for their sharp tongues, each of them should receive an extra pound.
Bai Jiu and Bai Chang stayed by Bai Shuang's side the whole time, but she didn't let them take the lead.
Bai Shuang didn't want the woman opposite them to smear them further and end up getting all smeared.
The matter was resolved, and Bai Shuang and the other two returned home. The snow leopard whined and complained, and Bai Shuang quickly went to comfort it.
He stroked its fur. "Good boy, Snow Leopard. Someone is bullying Brother Bai Jiu. We have to help, right? How can we let our own people be bullied?"
The snow leopard barked at Bai Jiu, "Woof, woof... You idiot, you can't even protect yourself, you're not even as good as me."
Bai Jiu: "Miss, please don't make fun of me. Otherwise, it might look down on me later."
"This will teach you a lesson you'll never forget."
In the time that followed, besides spending time with the snow leopard, Bai Shuang spent her time studying, practicing martial arts, and making and stocking up on delicious food with Bai Jiu and the others.
Bai Chang is good at electronics, and Bai Jiu is good at machinery.
Before the natural disaster, the Bai family had trained their members according to their special talents.
Bai Shuang then found the tablet containing the knowledge videos about these two types that Bai Chang had downloaded and gave them to them.
Also, I picked out books of this type from the ones I exchanged with the people downstairs and gave them to them as well.
Bai Shuang seized every opportunity to study and research medicine and pharmacology.
In the face of endless natural disasters, besides finding ways to resist the calamities and practicing martial arts, I should also seize the time to study, as it will definitely be of great use in the future.
A week later, the snow leopard's stitches were removed.
Because it was originally healthy, and with the help of the spiritual spring water, the wound healed very quickly. However, since the bone was injured, Bai Shuang still allowed it to heal at the normal time, and the wound was removed seven days later.
By this time, it was already mid-January, and there was only a month and a half left before the extreme cold arrived.
Bai Shuang kept thinking about going to Yangling Agricultural Science City again.
When I was stockpiling seeds, I had a pretty complete selection of medicinal herbs, as well as all the necessities for food and daily use. The seeds I stockpiled were also necessities, and they were all my own saved seeds.
There are still many kinds of plants and animals that Bai Shuang didn't preserve; perhaps there are still usable plants and animals over there.
Seeds represent hope. After numerous natural disasters, we may still have to rely on seeds to survive, solve our basic needs for food, clothing, shelter, and transportation, revive the glory of Bai's traditional Chinese medicine, and rebuild human civilization.
This is our last chance to find supplies; once we miss this opportunity, it may be gone forever.
On January 15, Bai Shuang led Bai Jiu and the others to Yangling.
Before leaving, I put away everything that shouldn't be in the house into my storage space, including all kinds of books and tablets that I had taken out. The snow leopard was still recovering, so I put it away into my storage space.
Then, the three of them put on high-grade bulletproof vests, said goodbye to Wang Bin and the others upstairs, and left.
This time, when riding the jet ski, I was worried about running aground, so I went to areas with deep water.
When we arrived at the city gate, there were still people waiting there, collecting tolls. When we asked, we found out that each person was charged 5 catties of grain. What a rip-off!
Food is a lifesaver now; many people have starved to death. And you have to pay 5 jin (2.5 catties) just to cross the road?
No matter how much grain Bai Shuang has, she can't spoil him.
