Chapter 309: Chapter 309: Rescue

"I really shouldn’t have, it was just a moment of weakness..."

As she spoke, she actually sighed.

Whether it was a moment of weakness, she didn’t know.

Anyhow, this outcome wasn’t what anyone wanted to see.

She didn’t want to suspect anyone maliciously, but she wouldn’t trust anyone either.

For her, today’s event was just about eliminating a Xiao Yun, reducing a potential danger.

As for what reason, what excuse.

That was for Xiao Ling to hear, it had nothing to do with her.

"So what do we do now?"

Zhang Kaiyang pointed at the corpse inside the room and the bloodstains on the ground.

"I’ll go down, tell the duty room that I had registered there when I came back... "

The matter hereafter had nothing to do with her anymore, Jhiang Yuan took Jhiang Xingzhi and left.

Ye Mianmian also returned to her own house while Zhang Kaiyang stayed here with Liang Kang.

As a "good Samaritan," he heard the noise and helped him treat the wounds.

As for Xiao Yun, he was counter-killed.

"Sweetheart, why do I feel like Liang Kang isn’t telling the whole truth?"

"Dad, don’t worry about it too much.

Back when we were in the community, we had common interests and no contact with others, so we could stick together.

Now it’s different, we should trust no one and be wary of everyone..."

"Yeah, you’re right, it’s essential to be cautious. I’ll talk to your mom about it later."

Qin Yue also came out, somewhat confused.

"Is there something you need to tell me?"

Jhiang Yuan didn’t stay any longer, under these circumstances, one couldn’t afford to be careless.

It was necessary to keep watching the outside situation to ensure her own safety.

She moved her parents and Xiao Nuan into the space, now was a special time, and it was better to reduce staying outside.

As it was getting late, Qin Yue started preparing dinner.

Jhiang Xingzhi took Xiao Nuan to the vegetable garden, and the grandparent and grandchild enjoyed picking vegetables and plowing the land.

Jhiang Yuan watched the scene in front of her, always feeling very warm.

If possible, staying here would be quite nice.

She wasn’t idle either, there were still many things to do here.

Apart from organizing some simple items, she had also gathered many self-defense items, including pulling out the stun gun she had before.

She prepared it for her mom and Xiao Nuan, just in case they encountered any danger and wouldn’t be completely unprepared.

She couldn’t always be by their side, learning to protect themselves was more important than anything.

They had a simple lunch, but dinner would be richer.

Brine duck, cucumber salad, green beans with eggplant, sweet and sour pork.

"We have too many vegetables here; we need to eat them quickly. This place isn’t small; it would be great if we could raise some chickens and ducks."

"Yeah, having small animals, we could feed them the vegetables we can’t finish."

Having finished speaking, both sighed simultaneously.

"Mom, Dad, don’t think too much, having these vegetables in our space is already great.

The small chickens and ducks probably froze to death a long time ago."

Jhiang Yuan didn’t want to dampen their spirits, but they had to face reality.

"I know, it’s just how it is, but really, it’s already very good, we should be content!"

"Yes, with the weather like this, Liang Kang came back, I guess many people will be going hungry."

This was the truth, the dining hall was closed, surely there was no way to go out for meals.

At this time, whoever had food reserves would be in luck.

They were only halfway through their meal when there was a knock at the door.

Jhiang Yuan abruptly looked up, Jhiang Xingzhi appeared a bit uneasy.

"Sweetheart, what’s going on?"

"Dad, it seems like someone is knocking on the door, I’ll go check it out."

"I’ll come with you, some things might be difficult to say otherwise."

Jhiang Yuan nodded in agreement, indeed, it was always tricky without Dad around.

After they came out, they opened the door, and Song Yi, Liang Kang, and Zhang Kaiyang had all come over.

"What brings you here?"

"Sister Yuan, we want to go out to find some people. Brother Song is worried about you, so he came to check on you."

Jhiang Yuan looked at Song Yi who was fully armed, even wearing a helmet.

"I’m fine, you guys go and be extra careful out there."

"Alright, good, just don’t go out, here, this is for you..."

As he spoke, he handed over a backpack, leaving Jhiang Yuan puzzled.

However, before she could even open it, the three of them had already left.

She rushed to close the door with Jhiang Xingzhi as it was now impossible for one person to manage it alone due to the wind.

It couldn’t be helped, it was her own choice to pick this location.

If it weren’t tucked in the corner or against the wind, this wouldn’t be a problem.

"Daughter, what did Xiao Song give you? Open it and see..."

"Yeah."

Not just Jhiang Xingzhi, she was also very curious.

Hot and sour noodles, instant noodles, self-heating hotpot, sausages, jerky...

A whole big packet, all food items.

She was surprised that he had actually brought these over.

In a life or death moment, to still care whether she had something to eat, one would wonder if he was being meticulous or careless.

"It’s all food!"

Jhiang Xingzhi also wore a complex expression; at a time like this, to share food meant a profound friendship.

"Daughter, this Xiao Song, I really don’t know what to say."

To avoid a lengthy speech, Jhiang Yuan promptly interrupted him.

She quickly entered the space and decided to finish the meal she hadn’t completed earlier.

Qin Yue, seeing people returning so quickly, couldn’t help but ask a few more questions.

Jhiang Yuan was fast; she still had to keep an eye on the situation outside.

She couldn’t stay here all the time, in case she missed something crucial.

Outside, it suddenly seemed more lively.

She hadn’t asked Liang Kang earlier how people spoke of Xiao Yun’s matters.

Now, it wasn’t important; she just hoped everyone would return safely.

And Song Yi, really, she didn’t know what to say, her feelings were a mixture of emotions.

People had returned to the house across the street, escorted by the guardian army, and there seemed to be children too.

She grew a bit excited; might this mean that Xiao Ling might also be coming back?

That child might just have been taken along for chores, who knows.

Jhiang Yuan had been watching for quite a while, and her neck was stiff; she stood up to stretch a bit.

Then she got up to pour herself a cup of hot water.

It was about to get dark, it would only get more difficult if she didn’t hurry.

Streetlights were definitely out of the question now.

The temporary wiring that had been installed was already gone with the wind.

Moreover, there were none on their side since only the main roads had them.

Gradually, there were many silhouettes on the street across.

Not everyone was safe; she clearly saw a large signboard falling down.

Swept around by the wind, it struck right on the people returning.

That situation was truly suffocating.

Too far to hear anything, but the whooshing of the wind said it all.

Her heart was tightly clenched, yet she was also completely helpless.
