Li Yan looked at Ye Yunxi and Fu Heng, and then continued.
"The old man also has something to say to you. He said, 'Yunxi, Fu, and Xiaoyi are with you outside, helping you find people and training with you. You've really gone to a lot of trouble. Xiaoyi is a good person, but he doesn't understand many things. If he does anything wrong, please help to educate him.'"
Please bear with us. Also, please take good care of yourselves; we're waiting for the day you return to base.
After hearing what Li Yan said, Ye Yunxi said to Li Yan.
"Thank you for your trouble, Captain Li. Please pass on a message to the old man when you go back. Ah Heng and I understand what he means. We will take good care of Heng Yi and give him more opportunities to train himself. We will make sure that when he goes back, he will be a completely different person."
"Okay, I'll make sure I get the message across."
Li Yan saw Yunzi taking care of the wolf cubs and asked them about it.
"Where did you little wolf cubs come from? Look, you're about a month old!"
Ye Yunxi smiled and answered Li Yan, "We found this on the mountain when it was only a few days old."
"Oh, I see."
Li Yan was about to instruct the soldiers to cook when Fu Heng stopped him.
"No need to trouble yourself, Qingqing and the others have already done it. The soldiers are tired too, so let them rest."
Li Yan then said nothing more and let the soldiers rest on their own.
More than an hour later, Gu Qingqing and Zhang Jing finished preparing dinner, which consisted of hot pot and stir-fries.
Li Yan brought twelve or thirteen soldiers with him this time. They had to cook some food to ensure that everyone could have enough to eat.
Chen Zhe shouted out towards the outside of the RV.
"Dinner's ready!"
Without Li Yan having to say anything, the soldiers readily went to bring over the food.
There were many of them, so they prepared food for three tables. After all the food was set out, Li Yan smiled and looked at the food in front of him, saying with a chuckle.
"This is such a sumptuous meal, you've really gone to a lot of trouble. Thank you for your help."
Gu Qingqing smiled and said, "It's no trouble at all. This is just to treat you. Please don't be shy, have some more."
"Yes, don't be shy, Captain Li. These ingredients were provided by Heng Yi. I'll make extra to treat you."
"Alright, then I won't stand on ceremony. Brothers, eat up, this kind of food is a rare treat."
"Yes, Captain Li! Thank you all for your hospitality, we are very grateful!" the soldiers said in unison.
Ye Yunxi and the others smiled and told them to eat quickly. They chatted with Li Yan while eating.
The meal lasted a full two hours before it ended. Even after the dishes were cleared away, Li Yan continued to chat with Ye Yunxi and the others.
Around 11 p.m., Ye Yunxi and the others told Li Yan to go and rest, saying that they could talk about it again tomorrow.
Li Yan returned to his room; otherwise, he could have continued chatting with Ye Yunxi and the others until late.
The next morning, Li Yan and the others got up very early. Seeing that Ye Yunxi and the others had not yet gotten up, they told the soldiers to go about their business, but to keep their voices down.
After waiting for a while, Ye Yunxi and the others finally got up, went out of the room, and saw Li Yan and the soldiers doing training.
Fu Heng called out to Li Yan.
"Captain Li, doing strength training so early in the morning."
Li Yan turned around and said to them.
"Since we had nothing to do after getting up, we let these kids do their own thing, and they started doing strength training, so I joined them."
"Look, Qingqing and the others just got up and told us to wait a bit for breakfast."
"Okay, then let's wait a bit."
"By the way, Xiao Fu, Yunxi, where are the Lu family's supplies? We'll go get them after we finish eating, and if things go smoothly, we can go back this afternoon."
Ye Yunxi thought for a moment and said, "No rush, I'll take you there after we eat. Also, leaving today is a bit too hasty. Everyone will be very tired after we finish moving the supplies, so let's rest for the night and leave tomorrow. We're also leaving tomorrow."
Li Yan thought about it carefully. "Alright, we'll set off tomorrow. Are you leaving tomorrow too?"
"Yes, we're here waiting for you to come and collect your supplies. Once you're back at base, we'll naturally be leaving too."
"Alright, tonight will be our last meal together."
Ye Yunxi smiled and nodded. Even if Li Yan hadn't said anything, that was their plan anyway.
They sat down and chatted for a while, and then Gu Qingqing and the others finished preparing their meal.
In the morning, we have porridge, along with a few braised dishes and pickled vegetables.
Gu Qingqing and Zhang Jing invited Li Yan and the others to sit down and have breakfast, saying that after breakfast they would take them to move supplies.
Half an hour later, after they finished breakfast and cleaned up the dishes, Lu Hengyi spoke to Li Yan.
"Team Leader Li, we'll take you there to move the supplies. But it's dark inside, so we'll need flashlights or torches to light the way."
Li Yan nodded and said, "Let's go take a look first. We brought our own torches with us. Grandpa Lu asked us to make them and bring them, saying they might come in handy."
Lu Hengyi nodded without saying anything. They led the way to the place where supplies had been stored on the back hill.
Lu Hengyi found the mechanism, pressed it, and the stone door next to him opened, allowing Li Yan and the others to go in with flashlights.
Ye Yunxi and the others also followed, carrying flashlights.
Returning to this place, I no longer felt the same anxiety as the first time and walked in confidently.
When they arrived at the cave hall, Li Yan was surprised to see so many supplies. He hadn't expected the Lu family to have so many resources.
Lu Hengyi turned around and looked at Li Yan.
"Captain Li, all of the Lu family's supplies are here. Please have your men start moving them."
Li Yan nodded and turned to the soldiers.
"Brothers, let's keep going! We'll move supplies today, get a good night's rest tonight, and head back to base tomorrow. The journey back won't be as smooth as the way here, so everyone needs to be on high alert and guard the supplies, understand?"
"Yes, Captain Li, we understand!"
"Alright, let's light the torches and set them up before we start working."
After they lit the torches, they took out their tools and began moving supplies onto the trucks that the soldiers had brought.
Ye Yunxi and the others also helped out, which made the process faster and less slow.
It was already past 4 p.m. when they finished moving the supplies. Gu Qingqing and Zhang Jing went back to make lunch, ate a simple lunch, and then got back to work.
After the last load was completed and the truck doors were closed, Fu Heng told the soldiers to go and rest, and that he would treat them to a delicious meal that evening.
After resting for a while, Ye Yunxi and Gu Qingqing started preparing dinner, which included stir-fries and soup.
It was two hours later when they finished saying goodnight. Chen Zhe and the others brought the food over and set it out. When Ye Yunxi and the others arrived, Li Yan thanked them.
"Thank you so much for going to all this trouble and spending so much money to cook so many dishes! Thank you so much!"
