The medicinal field was everyone’s hard work, but it was shattered by satellites, leaving Ma Guangyan and others frantic and speechless.
This disaster struck without warning, and humanity lacked even the strength to resist.
Satellite crashes continued to plague Fengcheng and Yuecheng, not to mention elsewhere. Was humanity facing extinction?
Jiang Ning knew he was upset but didn’t know how to comfort him. “Teacher, perhaps one day the disaster will pass.”
They helped clean up the smashed planting sheds, salvaging as many herbs as possible.
They were busy until sunset before driving back to Fengcheng.
Returning to their neighborhood, the sky was already completely dark.
Doudou inadvertently looked up and pointed at the sky in surprise, “Look, a shooting star!”
Jiang Ning looked up and saw a shooting star slowly streak across the sky, then disappear into the night.
She remembered how happy she used to be when she saw shooting stars as a child.
Now, she couldn’t find joy in it anymore. That was a falling satellite. Who knew where disaster would strike next?
Without air-raid shelters, survivors could only dig their own basements or reinforce them.
Compared to fixed disasters, these random accidents that could strike at any moment were even more unsettling because you never knew when death would choose you.
Jiang Ning had to visit the Rong family every few days for follow-up visits and to remove stitches.
Master Rong was lucky. He only had a bleeding forehead and a slight concussion. He received six stitches, and they can be removed.
Little Xiaobao’s cute and handsome face now bore a hideous scar, looking dejected and never smiling again. “Grandma, where’s Mommy?”
The eldest aunt forced herself to stay strong, “Mommy went far away. She’ll be back when you grow up.”
With illnesses and collapses, the Rong family finally fell into chaos.
Young Master Rong managed to find time to clear out a batch of medical supplies. “Sister, this is your reward.”
Jiang Ning was surprised by his generosity. “This is too much.”
It was really a lot, it felt like she took half of the Rong family medical supplies.
“Sister, keep it. If you think it’s too much, you can take it out someday when the Rong family needs it.” Young Master Rong smiled wearily, “I’ll keep it with you, if another satellite falls one day, at least we won’t be wiped out.”
Jiang Ning was stunned for a moment. “Okay.”
With so much stuff, Young Master Rong had people move it to Building 50.
The Rong family was able to be rescued in time, and the neighborhood’s owners helped a lot.
Master Rong thought for a moment. “Prepare some gifts to thank everyone. For those who have helped the Rong family a lot, invite them to dinner. But it’s best to keep it low-key. People are not afraid of fewer guests but of the uneven distribution.”
After this natural disaster, he was deeply touched. No matter how powerful a person or family was, it was not enough to fight against natural disasters, and relationships with neighbors were still very important.
Especially Building 50, if it weren’t for their timely rescue, the Rong family didn’t know how many people would have died. It wasn’t in vain that the third son lowered his posture to make friends over the years.
Master Rong glanced at his son. “You’re still reliable this time. It’s not a waste to take a helicopter and a hundred tons of fuel.”
Third Young Master, who was poked in the spine, “…”
In the evening, Qin Chuan received a gift, a full box of fresh meat, brought over by Ah Ben.
The second-hand dealer was well-informed. While other families had only a few kilograms of rice and a piece of bacon, his family received a surplus of supplies.
The oil on his brain turns quickly, he immediately invites the neighbors, “Brother Huo, Sister, Rong Sanshao invites you for a treat. Do you want hot pot or something else?”
The two didn’t care, “Anything is fine.”
Having lived in a cramped space for several years, Doudou occasionally gives pointers. Sharp mouthed monkey also come over from time to time. The father and son’s culinary skills have improved slightly. Not only do they bring out their cherished wine, but they also plan to cook and show off their skills.”
And then, without any surprise, they failed.
Finally, they settled on hot pot, with Jiang Ning providing the base ingredients.
The meat was rich, and the hot pot was spicy and fresh. Rong Sanshao, who usually boasted and was noisy, changed his demeanor and ate quietly. He picked up the chopsticks and ate non-stop.
When his stomach was almost full, he began to toast Jiang Ning and the others, saying, “Come on, I toast to my sister and brother-in-law, and you, Lao Qin. If it weren’t for you… it would all be in the wine”
After toasting three glasses, he couldn’t stop drinking and even picked up a bottle to drink.
This is white wine, brother!
Qin Chuan saw that he had something on his mind and didn’t say anything to persuade him to drink less.
Satellites kept falling from the sky. You might be eating meat and drinking wine at this moment, but you could be smashed to death the next.
The survivors on Earth are like rats, living only in rat holes. If they accidentally pop out of their hole one day, they are likely to be beaten to death by the divine hand.
After being suppressed for several years, it is a miracle that he didn’t go crazy.
Qin Chuan was also restless and kept drinking, and soon his tongue grew thick.
He burped, looking confused and sorrowful. “Brother Huo, Sister-in-law, do you think natural disasters could end?”
Neither Huo Yishen nor Jiang Ning could give an accurate answer because they didn’t know either.
Jiang Ning also drank two glasses of white wine. “I hope there will be a day when it ends.”
“You say, when will satellites stop falling?” Qin Chuan continued to drink from the bottle. “Or, when satellites stop falling, what awaits us?”
This atmosphere made Jiang Ning almost depressed. “Forget about what’s next. We can live if we can, and if we can’t, we can only hope to die quickly.”
It’s better to be smashed to pieces with a bang than to be slowly corroded by acid rain and live a life worse than death, or to be a paralyzed like the tyrant CEO who wants to die but can’t.
Rong Sanshao combed his hair with his hands like a drunk Er Ha. “Sister, how do you want to die?”
Jiang Ning glanced at him when she said this, “If I have a choice, I want to die beautifully.”
Young Master Rong’s eyes were blurred as he said, “Well, if you have to die, at least you’ve got a man as good as brother-in-law.”
Uh, that didn’t seem wrong. Jiang Ning took the initiative to pick some vegetables for Huo Yishen. “Thank you for your hard work.”
After eating and drinking, Rong Sanshao got drunk and fell asleep on the table.
Qin Chuan couldn’t help but sigh. “Rong Sanshao doesn’t have it easy either. He used to be a playboy who ate, drank and played. Now, he suddenly has such a big responsibility, I’m afraid he’s under a lot of pressure.”
He has heard some rumors that the old man intends to help him up and let go of many things.
Unexpectedly, tomorrow, they really don’t know which one will come first. If the old man doesn’t hold this time. The Rong family will be a mess. A family of generations will fall, and it is estimated that few will have a good ending.
As a father, Qin Chuan couldn’t help but empathize. If he were to be gone one day, he feared that Xiao Mu would be even more miserable than the Third Master.
Jiang Ning eats and drinks, who knows if there will be a next meal.
Finally, it was Huo Yishen who carried the drunken Rong Sanshao back.
He was tall and strong, and Qin Chuan couldn’t carry him at all.
Back to Building 50, they brush their teeth and wash up, and sleep in the car.
The other two fell asleep quickly, but Huo Yishen hugged Jiang Ning and didn’t feel sleepy at all. “Qin Chuan and Rong Sanshao seem to be testing us.”
Jiang Ning also felt it. “Now the neighborhood sees Building 50 as a benchmark. Do you think they suspect us?”
