Chapter 356: Chapter 356: The Stolen Bun

"Kaiyang, I understand what you mean.

You and Qingqing are boyfriend and girlfriend, the closest of people.

We too have suffered and faced difficulties together.

If I have anything to say, I’ll just say it!"

Zhang Kaiyang looked at Jhiang Yuan and couldn’t help but touch his own nose.

"Sister Yuan, go ahead, say whatever you need to..."

"Hmm."

This attitude somewhat satisfied her.

"Kaiyang, I believe what Qingqing just said was true.

But we’re not giving up hope yet, we’re planning to go see for ourselves.

Ask her if she doesn’t want to go, she can stay behind.

Her current condition isn’t suitable for long journeys either.

Don’t worry, we’ll leave some food for you."

It’s still good to ask about this, in case she has her own thoughts on the matter.

Otherwise, it would seem as if we were intentionally holding people back, which is really unnecessary.

Plus, this village is very suitable for living.

There’s no need to go back to Changming Village, it’s a win-win situation in any case."

"Sister Yuan, that won’t be necessary, Qingqing will definitely want to come with us, don’t worry!"

Zhang Kaiyang was somewhat anxious, he felt that Jhiang Yuan might be upset.

"I didn’t mean anything else, everyone’s opinions should be respected.

After all, we’re all our own people now, there are no feasts that last forever, we all can understand that."

"No, we’re not staying–"

Suddenly, a woman’s voice came from behind, it was Fan Qing.

"Qingqing, how did you come out, you’re still injured, can you make it?"

Jhiang Yuan also hurried over to support her, regardless, they were still together for now.

"Sister Yuan, I don’t mean to leave you, I truly didn’t mean that."

Oh, there was a misunderstanding.

"Qingqing, I know, don’t overthink it, I just think your body needs to rest right now."

"No–"

Fan Qing was very agitated, gripping Jhiang Yuan’s hand earnestly.

"We’re not staying, I can do it, don’t worry, I definitely won’t drag us behind."

"Qingqing, you..."

"Sister Yuan, please, please don’t drive us away..."

"Ah!"

Jhiang Yuan sighed, this matter was not supposed to be like this.

Since it turned out this way, she couldn’t say much else.

"It’s time for dinner, come and eat–"

Just then, the kitchen was ready, and everyone went there together.

They made rice porridge and also steamed big buns, everyone was in high spirits.

Sitting around the fire eating barbecue, it had been so long since they had been this well-off.

Everyone was cheerful and talkative, naturally, the topics were mostly about the food and the earthquake that had just occurred.

Song Yi didn’t let everyone stay for long, leaving those who were on guard duty, the rest quickly went to rest.

Jhiang Yuan sat with the women on a heated brick bed in one of the homes, which had been warmed up already.

The situation was fairly good now, though there were no people in the houses, there was some firewood inside.

Keeping warm and cooking were no problem.

The next morning, the women were awakened by a scream.

"Quick, get up, there’s been an accident."

Jhiang Yuan shouted as she got dressed.

Qin Yue was here, and so was Ye Mianmian, leaving Xiao Nuan behind was also not a problem.

There were too many people on this bed, she had a hard time sleeping last night.

Turning over was not an option, now every movement was painfully sore.

She was the first one off the bed, followed by two young girls.

The noise was coming from up front, the argument was still ongoing.

"Are you all dead? Sleeping while on duty, what were you thinking?"

"What do we do now, huh?"

The man’s voice suddenly rose, and it was Lu Er speaking.

When Jhiang Yuan entered, a large group of people were already gathered around the kitchen.

"What’s going on, what happened?"

Song Yi saw her and hurried over.

"You’re awake, did we disturb you?"

Jhiang Yuan didn’t answer but instead countered, "What’s happened here?"

Song Yi hadn’t even spoken when Zhang Kaiyang immediately came over to complain.

"Sister Yuan, the big steamed buns that were steamed last night have disappeared halfway, someone stole our food."

"What?"

This was a big deal, a matter of life and death!

"How could this happen?"

Last night, after the buns were steamed, except for the two children, Xiao Nuan and Jingjing, no one else was allowed to eat.

Everyone was eating rice since it was easier to carry.

The newly steamed buns needed to cool off.

Thinking that they were going to be divided up the next day, they hadn’t been packed away.

Who would have thought that they’d actually be stolen.

"Hmph, who knows!"

Despite saying this, the eyes of everyone in the room fell on the few people who were on the night shift opposite them.

"We really don’t know; we didn’t come here yesterday..."

"It wouldn’t be you guarding your own theft, would it!"

Lu Er’s voice was harsh, recalling those white, fluffy steamed buns made his heart ache.

These cowardly fellows could really eat, having eaten half of them.

"No, no, I swear, it absolutely wasn’t us."

Looking at them, they indeed didn’t seem to be lying.

"Last night, during your shift, did you notice anything unusual?"

Song Yi didn’t let Lu Er continue his rant but started questioning.

By now everyone understood the importance of these dry food supplies.

"Unusual, there seems to have been nothing amiss!

We were just normally warming ourselves by the fire in the main hall, I even remember we ran out of firewood, and it was Liu Yang who went out to gather more."

Liu Yang, a tall and thin man, also seemed frightened now.

"I did go out, but I came back as soon as I had gathered the firewood. Brother Xiao Ma even saw me at the door."

"Yeah, I was worried he couldn’t find his way, so I stayed at the door with a torch to light his path—"

As for why he didn’t go together but stayed at the door,

it was simply too lazy and cold, and he didn’t want to go over.

"Then did you hear or see anything?"

"Nope!"

Several people shook their heads, which was strange.

How could things just disappear into thin air? In such cases, there was usually an insider involved.

But how could they prove it?

She indeed had flour in her space, but if they let it slide this time, there would surely be a next time.

Moreover, everyone was supposed to work together, with such a rotten egg among them, they definitely had to be singled out.

"Oh right, I just remembered—"

Liu Yang suddenly shouted, drawing everyone’s attention.

"What, hurry up and say it—"

Lu Er was even more anxious than him, looking on expectantly.

Liu Yang suddenly seemed conflicted, his features all twisted together.

"I don’t know if it’s relevant, but when I returned last night after gathering firewood,

I saw a shadow near the kitchen."

"Why didn’t you say so earlier?"

Lu Er was somewhat angry, glaring at him.

"No, Brother Xiao Ma was here with the firewood lighting my way, I thought the shadow next to him was his own.

With the fire inside, it’s normal to have multiple shadows."

The kitchen was right next to the main hall, so what he said made sense.
