Chapter 388. They're soft and chewy, are they soaked pine nuts?
"Can't we get water now?"
Meng Peiyu's question silenced the group. Sang Sheng lowered his voice and reported the current situation to her.
"Burned it? Good thing it was burned!"
If it's burned, no one will find out she was involved!
As Meng Peiyu thought this, she didn't feel so hungry anymore.
She asked Meng Linyu to get her a piece of clothing to cover herself, as she needed to get a good night's sleep and recharge.
Meng Linyu looked embarrassed: "Sister, I've already put the clothes from your bag on you. The dirty ones haven't been washed yet!"
Meng Peiyu's mind slowly worked, and it took her a while to remember what happened last night.
Suddenly, she vomited to the side. Liang Fanqi asked, "Xiaoyu, are you pregnant?"
Meng Peiyu was stunned for a moment, then shook her head: "I just had my period a while ago!"
Liang Fanqi deliberately brought up a sore spot: "You haven't had a child in so long, won't your son-in-law have a problem with that?"
Before, with your dad backing you up, that guy surnamed Chen didn't dare to treat you badly.
Now that our family is in trouble, I haven't seen him try to help. Does he look down on you?
Meng Peiyu glared at her irritably: "If you can't speak properly, then shut up. If it weren't for you, would we have ended up like this?"
Liang Fanqi's tears came without warning: "I knew you all resented and blamed me."
Yes, I was wrong, but that's because I love your dad too much.
We were a young couple, and we went from being laborers in a printing factory to becoming respected leaders in the office building. We endured so much hardship and scolding, yet he still cheated on us at home!
Even if he set up a small home outside, I could have kept it a secret. But he actually did that kind of thing right under my nose.
Li Wanwan even whispered in his ear, urging him to divorce me...
Pei-Yu, Mom isn't willing to accept this!
"You can remain inactive!"
Hearing her cry, Meng Peiyu felt annoyed: "What else can you do besides cause trouble?"
He has absolutely no problem-solving skills. All these years with Dad, he's really wasted his life!
Liang Fanqi felt wronged, but Meng Hongsheng felt he had found a kindred spirit.
"Right, right? I told you she only gets older but not smarter!"
"You're not a good person either!"
Meng Peiyu showed no mercy to Meng Hongsheng: "I invited Li Wanwan over to take care of my mother. If you didn't have any ulterior motives, would you have ended up sleeping with her?"
Don't tell me about drunken promiscuity; when you're truly drunk, that thing is completely useless!
Meng Hongsheng pouted: "Stop talking, I still have my pride!"
"Ha, that's hilarious! Dad, look at yourself, do you still have any dignity left?"
Meng Hongsheng's pride was wounded, and his eyes darkened. But he dared not lose his temper; after all, he still had to rely on his daughter.
After venting her frustrations, Meng Peiyu felt a little better. She lay down in the sun and slowly fell asleep.
Meng Hongsheng lowered his voice: "Comrade Sang, you're from Japan, aren't you?"
Sang Sheng remained unmoved: "Comrade Meng, there's no need to test me. If you want to know anything, you can ask Miss."
Frustrated, Meng Hongsheng lay on the ground and started causing trouble: "It's been so long, shouldn't you change my dressing?"
Liang Fanqi hurriedly went to find iodine solution and told Meng Linyu to turn around.
After finding him and removing Meng Hongsheng's bandages, they were surprised to discover that the wound had not worsened.
"This thing is amazing!" he exclaimed, then poured the contents of the bottle onto the wound.
Brown iodine solution spilled all over the floor, which Liang Fanqi found a bit of a pity. However, he didn't say anything and simply rewrapped the gauze around Meng Hongsheng's neck.
"You've really been saved. They say that those who survive a great calamity are destined for good fortune. Hongsheng, you've turned your life around, so remember how I and your children have always been there for you."
Meng Hongsheng nodded perfunctorily: "I understand!"
Time passed slowly, and finally it got dark.
Meng Peiyu awoke from her deep sleep, feeling somewhat better. Looking at the red light in the distance, she posed the existential question: "The fire hasn't gone out yet?"
"The Northwest is short of water; it's not so easy to put out fires. This whole mountain range is probably going to burn down!"
Plant trees, plant trees, and burn them all to the ground.
Meng Peiyu assigned Sang Sheng a task: "Go to the farm and find out what's going on!"
Sang Sheng nodded and strode away.
Meng Guohao went to the well to fetch water before nightfall.
Meng Linyu rolled up Meng Peiyu's dirty clothes: "I'll go with you!"
After a day of fermentation, the garment became extremely sour and pungent, surrounded by a swarm of mosquitoes.
Meng Guohao hummed in agreement and led the way.
Meng Linyu followed closely behind, only to find that the person leading the way was walking faster and faster.
She jogged along, but could only fall behind.
Fortunately, the moonlight was bright tonight, and she could see the road clearly.
There were no strange noises around, which allowed me to calm myself down and reach the legendary well.
Meng Guohao used all his strength to draw a full jar of well water.
Seeing Meng Linyu approach, he pointed ahead and said, "There's a stream over there, go wash there!"
Meng Linyu nodded and walked a long way before she saw a stream about a foot wide.
It's barely enough for washing clothes. Meng Linyu shook out the dirty clothes and rubbed them in the water, feeling that even the water was filthy.
However, the smell has dissipated a lot, and it doesn't feel as disgusting to the touch anymore.
Meng Linyu washed for a while to make sure the clothes were clean before raising her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead.
After telling Meng Guohao, I moved forward, chose a clean section of the stream, and splashed some water to wash myself.
After all that fuss, her clothes were completely soaked. But it didn't matter; she washed herself clean.
The two walked back together, and Meng Linyu suddenly said, "It's better here than in the Northeast."
Meng Guohao stared at her blankly for a moment, without saying a word.
Back in the cave, they started a fire and cooked porridge. Meng Peiyu wanted to go out for instant noodles, but she was too weak to walk far.
They could only drink milk in the grass under the pretext of urinating.
Ironically, this led to the extraction of one of the few highly nutritious foods from the storage space, though it was somewhat hard on the stomach.
Meng Peiyu drank very quickly, finishing a large bucket in just two minutes.
He clutched his stomach and let out a burp, shouting in his mind, "System check-in!"
"Congratulations, host! You have received one hundred boxes of nut chocolates!"
Meng Peiyu's eyes lit up: "That's good, you did a great job today!"
As she spoke, she took out the chocolate, tore open the box, and looked at the golden chocolate balls inside, unconsciously swallowing her saliva.
He cursed himself for being spineless, took out a pill, tore open the wrapper, and popped it into his mouth.
The silky, grainy texture was what made her addicted.
Meng Peiyu ate one after another, peeling one more, and ate two large boxes in a row before stopping.
I rinsed my mouth with warm water and staggered back into the cave. The aroma of rice in the cave made me lose my appetite.
I licked my teeth and felt something stuck between them.
Meng Peiyu tried to pick at it with her tongue, but after a long time, she still couldn't get it out.
He quietly took out a toothpick, and discreetly poked it into the gap between his teeth, and the thing came out.
Meng Peiyu didn't spit it out; she chewed it and swallowed it again.
"They're soft yet chewy, are they soaked pine nuts?"
"Host, the system doesn't know. You can explore it yourself."
Meng Peiyu rolled her eyes, thinking to herself, "What a useless piece of trash."
After the porridge was cooked, Sang Sheng drank two bowls in a row and rested for a while before jogging back.
"Miss, something bad has happened..."
