Chapter 18 Li's Disarray
After the earthquake, the rain intensified.
People were hurrying along, each carrying a bag of varying sizes.
Li lay on the ground groaning for a long time, but seeing that no one paid any attention to her, she had no choice but to stand up by herself while holding onto the wall.
She had lost a lot of hair, her jaw was agape, and she was in pain all over her body.
With that movement, tears and saliva streamed down her face, and her hatred intensified.
That brat was too ruthless!
She quickly determined the direction and hurried to Qing Teng Academy.
Fortunately, the gatekeeper of the academy recognized her and quickly found Jiang Jiman.
Some students rushed out and were startled by her disheveled appearance.
They whispered and discussed amongst themselves with their parents who were waiting at the door.
"What heinous thing did he do to deserve being beaten like this?"
"His scalp is showing! Oh my god, will he go bald?"
Jiang Jiman overheard this and his face darkened. "Why did you come looking like this?"
He wouldn't even call her "mother," it's so shameful!
"%￥?"
That brat didn't hit you, did she?
Li picked up his arm and stared at his face carefully.
Jiang Jiman broke free and walked straight ahead, saying, "Hurry up and come with me to the clinic!"
Ignoring the impatience in his tone, Li staggered after him until she closed her jaw and anxiously asked why he had been at Fenglefang.
Jiang Jiman snorted, "Isn't it just that you want to go to Lingxiao Tower as soon as possible to find that girl and apologize on your behalf?"
As for supplies, he doesn't plan to tell his family. If a natural disaster really comes, those supplies will be his lifeline!
Upon hearing the mention of Jiang Mianmian, Li felt a mix of hatred, anger, and annoyance, and quickly recounted how the two had met at the city gate that morning.
Jiang Jiman was furious. "You stole her away, what good will it do besides making Jiang Mianmian even angrier? Didn't I tell you to kneel down and beg her? You're her mother! If you just kneel down, the whole city will side with you!"
No matter how cold-hearted and ruthless Jiang Mianmian is, she still cares about her reputation!
Now look what's happened, she's absolutely not going back to the Jiang family!
Li stammered, "I'm just afraid she'll run away. Where will I find her then? Didn't you see that group of people? They were all dressed neatly, and their raincoats were stuffed full of who knows what!"
She didn't believe it was some kind of mushroom basket; the shape was completely wrong!
The city guards, having taken the money, turned a blind eye and let them out!
Jiang Jiman didn't want to talk to her. "Go to the restaurant and wait for Ranran. If the city gates open, she will definitely come in. Then you two can go back together. I'll figure out a way to deal with Mianmian. I shouldn't be relying on you two!"
But then I thought, the fact that those fools in the Jiang family had angered that girl only highlighted the deep sibling bond between us. After all, she was willing to share such important supplies with me, so I would definitely find a way to help her connect with the Ye family in the future.
Thinking this way made me feel a little better, but then I saw that Li's expression was evasive.
With a frown, Li Shi whispered a few words, "Your father said that she can't know about this. We still need to ask you what you think."
Jiang Jiman stood there stunned for a while before nodding, "Father did the right thing."
He dared not gamble. If that girl really found out the truth, given her current personality, who knows what she might do!
Actually, he was overthinking things. In Jiang Mianmian's heart, their ending was already predetermined.
She wouldn't mind letting them dart around for a few more days; isn't it more interesting to prolong their lives?
Back at Lingxiao Tower, Jiang Mianmian and Twenty-Five played hide-and-seek for a while.
She actually went into the supply warehouse and quickly found what she needed.
The entry and exit points for the warehouse are fixed. The nearest area is the emergency zone, while the other areas are distributed in a circular pattern according to their frequency of use. To retrieve something, you must first find it in the corresponding area and then transport it to the designated entry and exit point for the warehouse.
The medical area and the weapons area are far apart. Even with the shuttle bus, it took a full five minutes, which is worth fifty merit points!
I just gave some rainbow candy to Twenty-Five, a medicine box to Granny Zhao, and the tracking Gu to Jiang Jiman. That's another thirty merit points.
Now I only have forty points left. Fortunately, once something has been withdrawn, depositing or withdrawing it again will not deduct merit points again.
Jiang Mianmian was still heartbroken and wished she could go and blast a hole in the city wall right now so that she could gain some merit points once the people left the city.
She picked up a rocket launcher and practiced handling it.
This was during a border town mission. It was the latest disposable rocket launcher issued by the higher-ups. Because of its low production cost, it was directly deployed to all infantry on a large scale, doubling their firepower and overwhelmingly repelling the Star Nation.
She wished she could have stocked up on more, but unfortunately, these things were unavailable. Later, the system gave her a special reward: two large boxes of rocket launchers!
Sigh, I'm starting to miss the system. I wonder how many merit points I'll need to reactivate it?
"Sister Mianmian, come quick! What's this?"
The voice of Twenty-Five came in from outside.
"what happened?"
Jiang Mianmian put down the rocket launcher and went into the backyard.
In the drizzle, a row of tiny green shoots emerged from the soil.
Twenty-five didn't recognize it. "Did Ninth Sister grow this? What kind of delicious thing is this?"
"This is a chili pepper."
The small, pale green leaves are round and thick, and the thin, short stems are covered with a layer of fine down.
Jiang Mianmian's eyes softened as she recalled the day she opened the back door and saw Jiu Niang squatting there with a small hoe in her hand, apparently tidying up the chili seedlings.
She found a hoe, several flowerpots, and burlap sacks. "Twenty-five, how about we dig these up and bring them with us to give Ninth Sister a surprise?"
"it is good!"
Twenty-five wholeheartedly agreed. Whether she was surprised or not, she didn't know, but digging in the dirt would definitely be a lot of fun!
The two of them worked hard and carefully dug up the chili seedlings, soil and all, and wrapped them up.
Jiang Mianmian also filled several large bags with soil from the vegetable patch.
After finishing her work, Twenty-Five collapsed onto a recliner, her eyes glazed over. "Quick, Sister Mianmian, give me another dose of the Power Pill!"
"Ah~"
Jiang Mianmian grinned mischievously, and as the girl opened her mouth, she slipped a mouth support device inside. "Don't move~ let me check your teeth first~"
Then, very quickly, he cleaned Twenty-Five's teeth and did a fissure sealant treatment.
After struggling to no avail, she wanted to cry but had no tears left, gave up the fight, and fell asleep.
When I woke up again, it was completely dark.
Jiang Mianmian had already taken advantage of this time to put all the things she hadn't been able to take with her into the warehouse. She also deliberately left a lot of tampered items in the storage room.
For most people, it's harmless; it's just a way to keep them alive. But if you combine two kinds of medicine, well, that's something else entirely.
She coaxed Twenty-Five into eating something, and the two locked the back door before quietly making their way towards the East Gate again.
Not long after the two left, Jiang Jiman, dressed in black, arrived.
He took out the key and inserted it into the lock.
