Zhang Xingguo felt incredibly incompetent, but when he thought of the little girl's resolute expression as she faced both tears and joy, he decided not to overthink it; the girl knew what she was doing.
Shouyi told himself not to interfere and to let Hongmei decide for herself. But if he didn't interfere, he would worry.
Zhang Hongmei felt that they should look for an abandoned courtyard like the winery, but there were no houses for miles around, so where could they find a courtyard?
If it's too far, it's not cost-effective. A cave isn't very practical either, since cars can't drive up there, and transporting the goods would be a hassle.
We kept driving like that until noon, when we stopped under the shade of a tree. I took out a glass of milk and that was lunch; it was too hot, and I had no appetite.
By nightfall, they still hadn't found a suitable place. If all else failed, they'd just have to make a few more trips; after all, a living person can't just die from holding their pee, can they?
Zhang Hongmei was somewhat discouraged. She decided that if things didn't work out, she would just bring a truckload of noodles back tomorrow and have Zhang Xingguo arrange for a vehicle and people to meet her at the place where Wang Ying had parked her car three days later. This was her last resort.
Being alone in a deserted place at night still felt a bit eerie. I locked the car and went inside.
All the grain was fine and didn't need repackaging. However, Zhang Hongmei wanted to give the troops five tons of salt and one ton of baking soda, which required repackaging. Luckily, she still had snakeskin bags, otherwise she would have been completely helpless.
Prepare 22 tons of rice, 22 tons of wheat flour, 25 tons of sorghum, 20 tons of millet, and 20 tons each of cornmeal and corn grits.
That way, there's hardly anything left in my own space. I'll just take it all out. If anyone suspects anything, I'll pin the blame on Zhang Shouyi. If Zhang Shouyi suspects anything, I'll refuse to say anything even if you beat me to death.
Although thinking like this sounds a bit like being a bachelor, it's the only way. How can I guard a treasure trove while the people who risk their lives to protect their homes go hungry? I can't do it. Whatever, I'm going abroad soon anyway. Things will be over when I come back. Besides, the storage ring has already been officially given to Zhang Shouyi. Let him imagine it himself.
Even if someone is paying close attention, Zhang Shouyi will keep the storage ring a secret from him.
At this moment, Zhang Hongmei was extremely grateful that she had revealed the storage ring; now it could be considered a protective shield.
After preparing everything, I finally went to rest. It had been a long time since I'd had a long rest in this space, and I was still a little unaccustomed to it. In the end, I couldn't stand being in it any longer, so I left. Time seemed to fly by that way.
Since we're already out here, we loaded the truck with fifteen tons of flour so we can head back tomorrow at daybreak.
He arrived at the military headquarters around 9 p.m. the next day. Zhang Xingguo was already waiting for him.
"Hongmei Shouyi is calling; he's waiting for you."
Zhang Hongmei was a little suspicious, so she made a phone call. Because she was afraid of being eavesdropped on, Zhang Shouyi told her to return tomorrow and that he would take care of the rest.
Zhang Hongmei felt uneasy. Zhang Shouyi had never asked her to do this before. Could something be wrong?
"Okay, I'll leave in a bit."
"Okay, be careful on the road."
The two hung up the phone. "Uncle Zhang, I'll be back after I finish unloading the truck. You must remember what I said. Also, do you have any letter to give to Brother Zhang?"
"Well, it's not convenient for me to write letters, so just tell him not to worry about things here, that we'll launch a counterattack next month."
"Okay, I'll go pack my things. Also, please tell Er Lengzi that I made a promise to visit him again."
"Okay, go ahead."
Zhang Hongmei found Wang Ying and asked her to pack their luggage and belongings, saying they would leave soon after unloading the truck.
Wang Ying was really reluctant to leave this place. Everyone had the heart to protect their country, but she had only seen more than twenty female soldiers here, and they were all medics.
I have no hope of going to the battlefield, so I might as well stick with Zhang Hongmei and be her bodyguard.
The two set off overnight. This time, Wang Ying drove while Zhang Hongmei curled up beside her to sleep, thinking to herself that she must have lost several pounds. There was no night and no day, but it was still quite fulfilling.
On the seventh day, they arrived in Q City and unexpectedly ran into Zhang Shouyi on the way.
Zhang Shouyi got out of the car and carried Zhang Hongmei out. "Wang Ying, you follow behind."
"Let go of me, it's not like I can't walk. You don't need to carry me."
"Be honest, you've lost weight."
"Hehe, you've successfully lost weight, haven't you?"
Xiao Li got out of the car and opened the door for Zhang Shouyi. Zhang Shouyi carried Zhang Hongmei directly into the car.
Zhang Hongmei struggled to sit up on her own, but Zhang Shouyi wouldn't let go.
"Let me go, it's making me feel uncomfortable."
Zhang Shouyi whispered in Zhang Hongmei's ear, "Stay put. You almost got into big trouble this time. Why were you so impulsive?"
Zhang Hongmei: Does this have anything to do with me being held?
Is it because of the food supply?
"Yes, those who are paying attention have already started to notice."
"But we can't let the soldiers go hungry, can we? Besides, I've prepared a hundred tons of grain."
"It's alright, I'll take you to the port. You can collect everything on the ship, put all the food inside, and leave the rest to me. Plus, you'll get a large sum of money."
"I see? Okay, but what's on the ship?"
"Keep the weapon for now, I'll ask you for it when I need it."
"Brother Zhang, how about I give you this ring? It's not of much use to me."
"You should keep it yourself. I had no intention of stealing your treasure."
"Let's try it when we get home, just in case."
Zhang Hongmei no longer dares to say that she has two children, since she didn't mention it at the beginning, and it would be embarrassing to say it now.
"Now you can let me go, right?"
Zhang Shouyi reluctantly let go, watching the little girl move down and sit beside him.
The car drove for almost an hour and arrived at the port of Q City. "You two just wait here."
Zhang Shouyi took Zhang Hongmei's hand and got off the car. The two boarded a ship.
There was no one on the ship. Zhang Hongmei saw many boxes in the lower cabin. Zhang Shouyi nodded, and Zhang Hongmei waved her hand, putting everything into her ring. Then she released the 109 tons of grain she had prepared. Goodness, the ship seemed to sink a little. After that, there were two meals of soybean oil and five tons of salt.
Zhang Shouyi, who was standing next to him, was stunned. What kind of operation was this?
Zhang Hongmei conjured up another needle, grabbed Zhang Shouyi's hand, pricked his middle finger, squeezed out a drop of blood, and then pulled out a ring from her collar and pressed it onto his finger.
"Brother Zhang, try it. Think about this space in your mind and see if you can make contact." Zhang Shouyi closed his eyes and did as Zhang Hongmei said.
