Natural disasters bring memories that feel like cold knives or shards of glass, leaving scars that never bleed and can never heal throughout a person’s life. 

Jiang Ning didn’t ask any more questions and carried the bucket into the house. 

It’s not easy for anyone. She remembers when she first met Wang Meili, she was wearing the same dress. At that time, she also had exquisite makeup and her looks were very well-maintained. 

She was fierce and jealous, yet lived better than many women. 

Now she’s still wearing the same dress, but she looks 20 or 30 years older. She is as thin and looks like an old woman, almost unrecognizable. 

They said time is a butcher’s knife, but the world changes even faster after natural disasters. 

Jiang Ning picked up the mirror and looked at her face quickly. “Mr. Huo, have I aged a lot?” 

“No, you look about the same as before.” 

“You’re lying to me.” She has long passed the peak of her appearance, but she usually takes good care of herself, and she puts expensive creams to her face without a second thought. 

“You’re only 29, the most beautiful age.” 

After reading too many emotional magazines, Huo Yishen’s emotional intelligence soared. “No matter what you become, you are the most beautiful in my heart, and you will always be the same as when I first met you.” 

The same as when they first met? Forever 19 years old. 

Those were great times. 

Jiang Ning looked at Huo Yishen. “Mr. Huo, you seem to have aged.” 

Huo Yishen touched his face. From his early twenties when he met her to now in his thirties, they were both in their prime. Unfortunately, due to the natural disasters, they spent each day struggling for survival, unlike a normal couple who would go on dates, register for marriage, and hold a grand wedding. 

Thinking about it, he really had treated her unfairly. 

“Do I look very old?” He never cared about his face, but when she suddenly complained about it, he suddenly felt old. 

Well, it had been a few days since he shaved, and he probably scratched her face at night. 

Jiang Ning smiled. “Not really, you’ve become more mature and stable.” 

He had gained some worldly experience, as well as the mature charm of a man in his thirties. 

Such a man was even more attractive. 

The two looked at each other, and their eyes couldn’t help but reveal their feelings. 

The forgotten Doudou pretended to look elsewhere and at the same time turned Coke’s dog head over. 

Shh, don’t look, or you’ll get caught.  

Comforted by Huo Yishen’s high emotional intelligence, Jiang Ning was less anxious and said to him proudly, “Your wife is the most beautiful; are you happy?”  

After being with her for a long time, Huo Yishen was used to returning compliments. “Well, your husband is also the most handsome.” 

The two smiled at each other, and their hearts feel less empty. 

Doudou, who was busy looking elsewhere, remembered Wang Meili’s words. Qin Mu was separated from them. 

She didn’t know how he was doing now. He was her only friend. 

She was worried, but she didn’t show it on her face. 

Jiang Ning squatted down to study the purified seawater. “Is it really clean?” 

Huo Yishen wasn’t sure. “How about we store it in the space and keep it for planting and watering, while we drink normal water?” 

That was a must; Jiang Ning didn’t want to deal with any problems after drinking it for a long time. 

She believed the base would ensure safety as much as possible, but no one knew how many ancient viruses there were in the ocean, and whether they could be completely disinfected? 

After storing the water into her space, Jiang Ning took out a light dinner and put it in the black soil garden to cool before eating. 

The villa’s space kept food fresh, and hot food easily spreads the smell.  

After so many years of natural disasters, the survivors’ desire for food is instinctive. Their sense of smell is more sensitive than a dog nose, and they could detect even the faintest scent. 

After eating the half-cold food, Doudou did not forget to clean the room with a rag to make sure the furniture would not be stained with smell. 

As the sun sets, it gets dark very quickly. 

A knock suddenly echoed at the door.  

Jiang Ning hurriedly puts away the sofa bed and the table. 

The dramatic Doudou even squatted down to spread the blanket and pretended to sleep. 

Jiang Ning opened the door, and a ghost like person appeared in front of her. She was so scared that she subconsciously drew her knife and wanted to swing it at his neck. 

“Sister, it’s me.” 

A familiar voice rang out. 

Jiang Ning was shocked. The ghost like person in front of her was actually Sharp-mouthed monkey. 

Sharp-mouthed monkey had always been thin, but now he looked like a skeleton. 

It was truly terrifying at night.  

It was a miracle that he was alive without being beaten. 

Jiang Ning couldn’t help but ask, “How did you become like this?” 

They say time is a butcher’s knife, but that knife only cuts the unfortunate. 

Sharp-nosed monkey has known her for almost ten years, and she still looks so young and beautiful, with almost no signs of aging. Instead, she looks like a blooming rose in a natural disaster. 

People couldn’t take their eyes off her. 

It has been less than a year since they parted in the villa area, but it felt like several centuries. 

Hearing his sister’s caring voice, Sharp-mouthed monkey couldn’t hold back for a moment. His eyes were wet, and his voice was choked with sobs. “Sister.” 

Sister, his only sister. 

Jiang Ning stepped aside to let him in. “Why are you crying like a woman?” 

There was no way; Sharp-mouthed monkey hadn’t seen his acquaintances for a long time, and too many memories came to his mind when they met. 

Reunions with acquaintances inevitably led to small talk, so they sat cross-legged on the floor. 

The room was empty. So Jiang Ning explained, “I just arrived today and haven’t had time to decorate yet. What are you doing now?” 

Sharp-mouthed monkey is a wife slave; no matter how hard or exhausting his life was, he would gladly give his life for Wang Meili. 

But now that Wang Meili had turned into a skeleton, it showed how desperate things had become for the Sharp-mouthed monkey. 

He felt a mix of emotions. “Sister, I’m doing my old job.” 

Seeing his sister, he couldn’t help but think of the days after they separated. 

The satellite collision with Jingshi Mountain had come suddenly. The boss couldn’t turn many supplies into food, so they had to abandon what they couldn’t carry.  

Following their boss, they urgently evacuated from Fengcheng with supplies. Unexpectedly, they encountered a sandstorm on the way, and more than half of the supplies were lost. Some people were also injured. 

The car broke down, and the recovery took time, and later they can’t catch up to the main force. 

So they ended up settling at the official base in Jiacheng with the government. 

The supplies were consumed along the way, and after handing over the food to the base, there were not many supplies left. 

However, the boss was clever, and they were all experienced middlemen. Even if they didn’t have much supplies, they believed that they would be able to get them back sooner or later. 

But the official base was too complicated, various forces intertwined, with each industry having its own protection. 

They came too late, and as soon as they arrived, they took others’ jobs, so they faced malicious retaliation. 

Their boss had to swallow his pride and worked hard to establish connections. Just when he wanted to show his strength, he didn’t expect the collision of plates. 

The retreat was chaotic, and several stampedes occurred. 

He protected his wife and children, and only when they reached a safe place did he realize their boss was missing. 

The family migrated with the group and, by some luck, finally boarded the Jiacheng fleet.  

It was luck, but also the beginning of a nightmare. 

There were a lot of people on the ship, but supplies were scarce; it was so crowded that there was barely room to turn around. 

But Sharp-mouthed monkey was cunning, and Wang Meili was also impressive. She hides a lot of supplies during their escape…
