At this moment, Chen Zhe, Zhang Haiyi, and the other three arrived at the villa area to look for Ye Yunxi and Fu Heng.
They immediately spotted Fu Heng and Ye Yunxi carrying water tanks to drive away snakes, so they all ran towards them.
Chen Zhe asked, "Sister Yunxi, Brother Heng, we've come to help you. Do you have any more water tanks? Could you give us a few too?"
Ye Yunxi nodded. "There are still some at home, I'll go get them."
He then gave Chen Zhe the water tank he was carrying. He was about to run home when Zhang Haiyi stopped him.
"Yunxi, I'll go with you to get them. You can't carry so many by yourself."
Ye Yunxi glanced at Fu Heng, and seeing him nod, she spoke to Zhang Haiyi, Gu Qingqing, and Zhang Jing.
"Come with me."
The group nodded and followed Ye Yunxi back to her home.
She thought to herself, "Luckily they took several and left them in the living room, otherwise the secret of that space would have been exposed if I had taken them with me."
They went to the living room, and Ye Yunxi gave each of them a water tank, and carried one for herself as well. After they all carried their water tanks, they headed towards the area where the snakes were.
There are a lot of snakes this time. They will save as many people as they can, but there's nothing they can do about those bitten by venomous snakes.
Thanks to the efforts of Ye Yunxi, Fu Heng, and others, the snake was finally driven out of the villa area.
For those who were injured, they were simply directed to the base hospital for treatment.
After Ye Yunxi and Fu Heng returned to their home, they placed the water tank on the living room floor before asking Chen Zhe and the others questions.
Ye Yunxi asked, "Chen Zhe, how are the snakes over there?"
Chen Zhe replied, "We don't have many snakes where we are. After we dealt with them all, we thought that you also have snakes here, so we came to help you in Haiyi's car."
Ye Yunxi nodded. "There were quite a few snakes in the villa area this time. It's good that you came, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to deal with so many."
Then he said to Gu Qingqing, "Let's go to the hospital. There are many injured people, and I'm afraid the masters won't be able to handle it all."
Gu Qingqing said, "That's what I was thinking too. Let's go."
Zhang Jing said to Ye Yunxi and Gu Qingqing.
"I'll go with you."
Fu Heng spoke up. "How about this, we'll all go together, and I'll take a look at the research center while I'm at it."
Chen Zhe said, "Yes, let's go together."
That was settled, and the group drove to the base hospital.
After they arrived at the hospital, Zhang Haiyi and Fu Heng went to the research center, while Chen Zhe followed Ye Yunxi and the others to the hospital.
Upon arriving at the hospital, they saw many injured people queuing up. Ye Yunxi and Gu Qingqing took Zhang Jing to the back to help Old Ye and the others with their work, while Chen Zhe stood beside them to prevent any troublemakers from causing a disturbance.
It's the midnight sun outside, there's no sign of darkness, and the people at the base can't tell whether it's day or night. Without looking at their phones, they really can't tell the difference between morning and evening.
Time flies. Around 8 a.m., after bandaging the last person, Ye Yunxi and the others were so tired that they rested on chairs.
After resting for a while, they continued with their work. Fu Heng and Zhang Haiyi stopped at the base hospital midway through the day and didn't return to the research center until the morning.
Zhang Jing stayed behind to study medicine, while Chen Zhe stayed by their side.
Ye Yunxi and her colleagues didn't finish work until after 5 p.m., said goodbye to Gu Qingqing and the others, and went home.
When Fu Heng and Ye Yunxi returned to the villa area, they were stopped by a group of people who wouldn't let them in.
Ye Yunxi frowned, staring straight ahead. Fu Heng tried honking the horn to signal them to move aside, but they seemed not to hear him and showed no intention of moving.
The two looked at each other and decided to honk the horn one more time.
But they remained still and continued chatting enthusiastically.
Ye Yunxi opened the window, stuck her head out, and spoke to the person in front of her.
"Please move aside, we want to go home."
Those people turned to look at Ye Yunxi and the others, then turned back to chat, still making no move.
These people were clearly blocking their way; they didn't move when she heard the horn, and they didn't move even when she shouted.
Ye Yunxi said coldly again, "Get out of the way! Otherwise, don't blame us for being impolite."
Those people looked at them with a half-smile after hearing what Ye Yunxi said. One of the men spoke.
"Oh my, listen to this, they're being rude to us. How rude are they?"
Ye Yunxi tried to reason with them, saying, "Quan, please get out of the way. We have no grudge against you, so what are you doing blocking our way?"
The man scoffed. "No grudges? You make it sound so easy. Our families were all killed by you, and you still have the nerve to pretend to be so high and mighty?"
Ye Yunxi frowned. "When did we kill your family?"
The man shouted, "The night we encountered the snake, dare you say you weren't the ones who killed it?"
How could she not remember killing someone? That day, she and Fu Heng were the ones rescuing people; when did they call for help?
Ye Yunxi sneered. "Then tell me, how did we kill your family?"
When the group heard Ye Yunxi say that, they thought they had a chance and all wanted to tell her how Ye Yunxi and her group had killed their family members.
The man spoke first. "If you hadn't taken so long to come out, my wife wouldn't have been bitten to death by a poisonous snake."
"Exactly. My son was also bitten to death by a snake."
"My dad was also bitten to death by a snake."
“My mother died from a snake bite. If you hadn’t come out so late, so many people wouldn’t have died, and we would have lost our family members at the same time.”
Ye Yunxi and Fu Heng were both amused and annoyed by their words. She had never seen anyone try to save someone and then kill them. It was utterly outrageous.
"Okay, so what are you planning to do?"
The man's lips curled slightly when he saw that she had agreed.
"It's very simple. You just give us food, 100 catties of grain per person is enough."
Ye Yunxi smiled and said, "Any other requests? Please tell me all at once."
The group of people didn't expect Ye Yunxi to be such a straightforward person, so they said to her.
"Wait a minute, let's discuss this."
Ye Yunxi smiled and nodded, letting them discuss it themselves first, and take their time to figure it out.
After receiving Ye Yunxi's suggestion, the man discussed it with the others.
The man shooed them over and whispered something to them.
What else do we need?
Aunt A: "I didn't expect this young girl to be so reasonable. She said she would compensate with grain, and she did."
Aunt B: "Yes, they even asked us if we wanted anything else. They seem easy to please."
The man said, "In my opinion, we should ask for more food and store it. Who knows when this terrible natural disaster will end? What if it hasn't ended yet and we run out of food?"
Man: "Then let's change the 100 jin of grain to 200 jin per person."
Everyone nodded in agreement to ask for more grain. Then the man spoke up again.
The man spoke to Ye Yunxi and Fu Heng.
"We've agreed that the previous 100 jin of grain per person will be changed to 200 jin per person, plus 50 jin of vegetables."
After hearing that the man had added fifty kilograms of vegetables, everyone nodded in agreement. It would be foolish not to take advantage of such a good deal.
Ye Yunxi smiled but remained silent. This was truly outrageous. She had heard Xuan Yu say that everyone else had only asked for 200 jin of grain, but this man wanted an additional 50 jin of vegetables. Wasn't he afraid of choking them to death? It was utterly ridiculous.
