Chapter 54

Preparation before departure

When they entered the room, they saw Grandpa Li lying on the bed, snoring loudly.

A few people finally felt relieved.

"Thank goodness, thank goodness." Grandma Li patted her chest, feeling very scared.

Grandpa Li on the bed heard the noise, stopped snoring, opened his eyes, and spoke in a vague voice.

"What's wrong? Why are you here, brother?"

Grandpa Li sat up and leaned against the head of the bed, "Brother, do it."

"Okay." The young man helped Old Man Wang sit on the small stool next to the stove, and then stood obediently beside Old Man Wang.

Grandpa Li looked at the expressions of the few people and asked in confusion, "What's going on?"

Grandma Li organized her words and briefly explained what had just happened.

Grandpa Li looked surprised and asked, "No one is hurt, right?"

Old man Wang shook his head. "It's okay. Thanks to Fang Xin for being here again."

"I'm glad you're okay." Grandpa Li didn't look very happy. He didn't expect the situation here to get worse and worse. He was silent for a long time, "Let's leave tomorrow night."

Grandpa Li looked at Old Man Wang and said seriously, "By the way, don't let anyone know when you come over tomorrow."

Grandpa Li's hidden message has another meaning, which is to keep your mouth shut, don't tell anyone else, don't let anyone know about this.

He believed in Old Man Wang, but not in anyone else.

He didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble.

Old Man Wang understood what Grandpa Li meant instantly. After all, they had known each other for so many years, and sometimes they could understand each other with just a glance.

How could he tell others that what he cared about most was his grandson? As for others, he himself was in a difficult situation and had no time to care about their lives.

The next morning.

Old Man Wang and his companion finished packing up their things early, and when it was still dark, they piled up the things in front of Grandpa Li's door one by one.

Thinking that few people would get up at this time, and since we couldn't sleep anyway, we just got up and moved.

After moving the things, the two of them stood at the door waiting.

Fang Xin simply got up from the sofa, unable to sleep at all.

There had been sporadic noises coming from the door since early morning.

I also heard who was at the door.

I looked at the time and it was just past 4 in the morning.

She was not a hypocritical person, so she simply got up, put on her clothes and opened the door.

"Come in."

The two elders were still sleeping soundly, and because of Fang Xin's presence, they slept soundly.

The two of them didn't dare to make any noise when they entered the house. They walked in quietly and said softly, "I'm really sorry, young lady. We came here because we thought no one was around at this time, but we woke you up."

"It's okay, you guys take a seat."

Fang Xin took out the kettle and prepared to fill it with some clean snow to boil some water.

When passing by the pile of things at the door, I noticed a bag with my sharp eyes. This bag was the one in the hands of the gangster yesterday.

Fang Xin just glanced at it and didn't take it seriously. She squatted down and filled the kettle with snow.

He put the kettle on the stove and added some coal.

Fang Xin began to fold the quilt, wash his face and brush his teeth.

The grandfather and grandson held hot cups of water in their hands, the fatigue on their faces covered by joy. They were finally leaving this cannibalistic town and were full of expectations for their new home.

Fang Xin started preparing breakfast. Since there were many people today, he needed to steam more rice.

I took out the cutting board from the kitchen and started cutting vegetables in the living room. I cut the potatoes and cabbage into slices, and then cut a few slices of pork belly for stir-frying.

He took out another fish and prepared to stew it to nourish the two elders.

It was still early and the two elders were not awake yet, so she was not in a hurry to cook and prepared the dishes and put them aside first.

The grandfather and grandson wanted to help, but they felt uncomfortable watching Fang Xin working alone.

Fang Xin thought for a moment and said, "Xiao Kai, can you help me clean the fish?"

The young man responded crisply, "Yes."

Fang Xin starts cooking around 6 o'clock. Usually the two elders get up around 6 o'clock.

Fang Xin braised the fish first so that he would have enough time to cook the vegetables after the two elders woke up.

The fire was very strong, and Fang Xin added a lot of water to stew it.

After the fish is cooked, cover the stove and place the pot on the lid to keep it warm.

It was almost 7 o'clock when the two elders got up. I guess it was because they slept late the previous night and got up late in the morning.

But Fang Xin did not wake up the two elders. They could sleep as late as they wanted. It was okay anyway.

Fang Xin started preparing the dishes.

Grandpa Li can now get out of bed and take a walk, but he cannot do strenuous exercise as it may easily stretch the wound.

Grandma Li opened the bedroom door and was slightly stunned when she saw Old Man Wang and his grandson. "Brother is here."

Old man Wang rubbed his hands awkwardly, "Well, we couldn't sleep, so we moved all the things here in the morning when no one was around."

Grandma Li nodded. "That's fine. The sooner we clean up, the sooner we can get it done."

After the two elders finished cleaning up, the dishes were ready.

The boy helped to put the food on the table.

Grandpa Li invited his grandson and grandson to come into the house for dinner.

Everyone decided that it would be safer to sneak away at night.

After dinner, Old Man Wang brought in the bag of things and said, "Miss, this bag of supplies belongs to those two people yesterday. I brought it over to you."

Fang Xin took a look and saw that there were about 30 kilograms of food in the bag.

What everyone needs most now is life-saving supplies. He did not feel reluctant but took them out generously, making his attitude clear.

Although she has no shortage of it, attitude is very important.

Fang Xin stroked the dog and saw their embarrassment. "You guys keep it."

Old man Wang did not refuse, and scratched his head in embarrassment, "Well, then it's a loan from us. We will definitely return it to you when we have it."

Fang Xin waved his hands nonchalantly and continued to pet the dog with his head down.

Grandpa and grandson took a nap in the living room in the morning.

I helped to clean up in the afternoon, which included bedding, pots, pans, and the like.

I thought there wouldn’t be many things, but Grandma Li couldn’t bear to throw this or that away, so when she packed them all up, there was quite a lot.

Take the charcoal out of the living room stove and put it in a broken basin, then load it onto the truck after the stove cools down.

The job of light the stove was given to the young boy, whose face was covered in dust.

The other stove will be cleaned before leaving because we still have to cook in the evening.

In less than three hours, everything was packed up and loaded into the car and tied up with ropes.

I had a simple meal in the evening and heated up the leftovers from the morning.

After finishing dinner, I cleaned up the pots and pans and put them in the car. I took the charcoal fire out of the stove and put it in a basin.

You can set off after the stove cools down.

Everyone sat around the brazier, chatting and waiting for the time to set off.

Everyone was full of anticipation, with smiles on their faces.
