Chapter 64 Can You Help Me Out? A New Life Begins After the Flood Recedes.



"don't want···"

"Honey, I feel unwell, can you help me?"

Xu Zi pressed Yu Jiu's hand onto his body without giving him a chance to refuse. He spoke in a low, hoarse voice, sounding both coquettish and forceful.

The cool, white fingertips made Xu Zijiang's scalp tingle. He grabbed Yu Jiu's hand without a care. Even though he was the one being bullied, Yu Jiu couldn't take it and closed her eyes, trembling slightly, letting Xu Zijiang pull her around.

It was as if she had offered her own hands as a sacrifice to him.

After a long while, Xu Zijiang finally finished. He took out a towel that he had prepared long ago and wiped Yu Jiu's hands. Yu Jiu was almost overwhelmed by wave after wave of intense emotions. She barely managed to hold on until Xu Zijiang finished, and then she raised her beautiful face and couldn't wait to leave.

"Can I leave now? You're injured, don't..."

She bit her slightly swollen red lips, her voice a mix of coquettishness and reproach.

"No, honey, my legs hurt. You have to stay with me tonight. I can't sleep without you."

Having tasted the sweetness of love, Xu Zijiang was unwilling to end it so easily. He didn't even pull his clothes up properly, leaving them loosely draped over his body, and continued to rub against Yu Jiu's slender waist.

Yu Jiu was so bothered by him that she couldn't do anything about it. He also heard him say that his leg hurt, but she didn't know if it was true or not, so she couldn't push him away.

"Then, for the last time, I can't sleep with you tonight. I have to sleep in the next room."

"good."

Xu Zijiang cunningly didn't say yes or no, but simply kissed Yu Jiu's red lips again. Having received permission, he became even bolder, and Yu Jiu was entangled with him all night.

Although she didn't get to the very end, Yu Jiu was exhausted. Coaxing such a strong and powerful wolfhound was really tiring for her. Her back ached, her hands ached, everything ached, and her fair thighs were even chafed.

And in the end, she fell into a deep sleep in Xu Zijiang's arms, without going to the next room at all.

After a night of tossing and turning, the man finally licked his lips contentedly as dawn broke, and drifted off to sleep with Yu Jiu in his arms. They both slept until the afternoon. Yu Jiu was ravenously hungry; she was awakened by hunger. Her eyelashes, like tiny fans, fluttered as she slowly opened them.

"Awake? Are you hungry? I'll go make some food right now."

Xu Zi gave Yu Jiu a satisfied kiss on the eyes, laughing triumphantly. Sure enough, a man who has been "nurtured" is different; his smile is even more seductive.

Yu Jiu opened her mouth and bit his chin.

"I'm so hungry, I'm so hungry I could eat you up!"

She huffed and puffed, "I've been tricked by this bastard again! Last night I agreed to sleep in the next room so many times, but we still ended up sleeping in the same bed. What was the point of my compromise? It just made it easier for this man to bully me!"

"Honey, if that's how you put it, then I'd be happy to."

Xu Zijiang shifted his grip on Yu Jiu's waist, and the familiar heat pressed against her again.

In broad daylight, Yu Jiu wasn't going to indulge him anymore. She glared at him with wide, threatening eyes.

"Ouch~~~ Let go, honey, I won't make a fuss anymore, okay? This isn't a place for jokes!"

Xu Zi immediately begged for mercy, saying he would get up right away and would never be horny again. Yu Jiu then snorted coldly and kicked him off the bed.

"Go cook!"

She said coldly and ruthlessly, "You say your arms and legs hurt, but it hasn't affected your performance. Right now, she's the one who's in pain, okay?"

"Okay, right away."

Xu Zijiang dared not get angry and obediently dragged his injured body to cook. In no time, he cooked a pot of soft porridge and also simply fried a few eggs. All the vegetables in the garden had been destroyed, so there were no vegetables to eat. He could only eat the leftover eggs for now and buy some clean food in a few days.

The flood had a huge impact: houses collapsed, grain and vegetable gardens were destroyed, chickens were lost, and stored grain was contaminated by the flood. The floodwaters were so dirty that the contaminated grain could not be eaten for a short time. It had to be washed, dried, and cooked before eating, otherwise, people might catch some diseases.

Therefore, it can be expected that everyone will have a very difficult time during this period.

Xu Zijiang only rested for one day, and the next day he started running around for the team. He couldn't let everyone go hungry. He had to find a place to stay for the collapsed houses. He could make do with a simple shed for now. Xu Zijiang was clearly the busiest person in the team.

For the next three to five days, Yu Jiu didn't see him much. He was either going to the commune or patrolling various places in the team. However, he did bring back a lot of clean grain that hadn't been soaked by the flood for Yu Jiu. The commune was far away, and the flood level wasn't that high. Moreover, the commune had multi-story buildings, and since the buildings were tall, there was naturally a place to store the grain. Therefore, Xu Zijiang didn't need to spend time going to other places to buy grain.

Yu Jiu actually had some clean food stored in her own space, but she couldn't bring it out into the open, so she accepted the food that Xu Zijiang gave her. Anyway, there was no need to share it now.

The other members of the team didn't think that the grain that had been soaked in the flood was inedible; they were just afraid it would get moldy. So they quickly washed it, took it out to dry, and ate it while they were drying it. Xu Zijiang tried to persuade them, but they couldn't, and they didn't have the means to do so anyway.

If we don't eat this food, how will everyone survive these days? Xu Zijiang can't possibly take care of all the food for the whole team himself, can he? He can only ask everyone to wash the food several times, make sure it's clean before cooking, and cook it for a longer time.

The team was in ruins, but compared to the neighboring teams, the situation was much better. Many people from those teams were swept away by the flood and several others drowned. They didn't have time to escape. Now that the flood has receded, many people have not been found, and it is unknown whether they are still alive.

By comparison, Beitang team is in the best situation.

"Hey, where did you get all this clean food? I want some too. I'll just buy it from you, I won't take advantage of you!"

Yu Jiu was cooking rice when suddenly, Li Nannan, who was already lively and energetic, appeared in front of Yu Jiu again, looking arrogant. She spoke in a condescending tone.

Yu Jiu glanced at her but remained silent.

"Are you mute? If you don't sell it to me, believe me, I'll go buy it from the captain! I don't think the captain likes you that much. He risked his life to save me when the flood came. He must like me. I knew it! How could he not like a city girl like me and prefer a fierce woman like you!"

She said sarcastically.

"If the captain likes you, why didn't he stay with you when it was so dangerous? Why did he come to save me? Yu Jiu, you're so pitiful."

Li Nannan put her hands on her hips and said smugly.

Yu Jiu rolled her eyes speechlessly, then without saying a word, she got up, grabbed Li Nannan's hair, and slapped her face several times. Li Nannan's face immediately became red and swollen. But that wasn't the end of it. Yu Jiu directly pressed her head into the basin of water that was intended for washing vegetables. The cold water completely submerged Li Nannan's face. She had difficulty breathing and struggled to float up, but Yu Jiu pressed her back down hard. She spat out one bubble after another in the water.

"I told you to wake up before you were fully awake. Are you awake now? Still talking nonsense?"
