Suddenly everyone in the restaurant looked over.

Ning Ying then realized that she had overreacted, and immediately whispered: "Qin Zhao, I think I'm full, let's go out for a walk together?"

"Okay, wait for me outside for a while."

Ning Ying gritted her teeth and walked outside through everyone's sight.

A moment later, Qin Zhao came out with a small bag of vinegar. "This is local apple cider vinegar. It's sour and sweet and helps digestion. Want to try it?"

Ning Ying was just making up an excuse, but she didn't expect him to take it so seriously: "Thank you."

Unexpectedly, the more she drank this stuff, the more addictive it became, and she accidentally drank most of it.

Qin Zhao narrowed his eyes and looked at her: "Is it so delicious?"

"It tastes really good, you should try it next time."

The little girl drank it with great joy, and her lips were moistened by the apple cider vinegar and were glistening with water.

Qin Zhao couldn't help himself and took half the bag from her hand: "Supplies are scarce recently, don't waste them."

Before Ning Ying could react, he had already bit the bag in his mouth.

With the sound of gurgling, the protruding Adam's apple on the thin neck slid up and down, and the blue veins on it bulged and jumped.

It was simply a moment of hormone hunting. Ning Ying blushed and looked away.

Qin Zhao took in her expression and knew that she was shy.

He was worried that the girl would get angry and embarrassed if she came over, so he immediately changed the subject.

"Why didn't you suggest that the troops withdraw at the end of the month?"

Because this flood did not subside like in previous years, but returned with greater ferocity at the end of the month, even accompanied by mudslides and landslides. In addition to the concurrent natural disasters, there was also an unprecedented "snake plague."

After the flood, snakes were everywhere, and there were even many poisonous snakes. Not only did many people die from poisoning, but it also caused panic among the people. They believed that this disaster was a punishment from God on the world, and they were in a state of panic.

But Ning Ying couldn't tell Qin Zhao directly that there were signs before the natural disaster, but they were ignored.

“In fact, when natural disasters strike, animals and plants are more sensitive than humans and will be the first to react.

There is a plant called purple hibiscus, which blooms before a flood and withers after the flood subsides. However, the more severe the flood, the more the flower blooms. Haven't you noticed that the river in Shaanxi City is now covered with this plant?"

Qin Zhao's expression became serious. "That's true. I heard from the locals that this is the first time they have seen this kind of flower bloom."

"Also, on the way to the resettlement site, I found that the snake bed grass on the mountain was particularly thriving. If nothing unexpected happens, there should be a large number of snakes lurking on the mountain in Shaanxi City. They also sensed that the mountain torrent was about to break out, so they came out in droves."

"I'll send someone to investigate this matter right away!"

Qin Zhao walked out a few steps and suddenly turned back: "There are flash floods everywhere now. Don't go anywhere and just stay at the resettlement site."

"it is good."

I guess the guesthouse is closed now, so staying here is the best option.

Seeing Qin Zhao leave, Gu Jin came over while chewing on the radish he had brought from the kitchen: "Sister Yingzi, why don't you chat with Brother Zhao for a while?"

Ning Ying was too lazy to expose him, and just said: "We will stay here for the next few days, so you should be careful."

"Sister Yingzi, why don't we go to Shancheng to discuss business with the owner of the medicine shop?"

Ning Ying thought about how clever he was in front of Qin Zhao, and realized that he had probably sold himself out long ago, so she decided to tease him.

"No, there are floods everywhere here, and I value my life."

Gu Jin immediately looked bitter: "No, Sister Yingzi, I bought this batch of snake venom cream because of you. My wife has already lost money, and I still owe the pharmaceutical factory a large sum of money for processing it."

He showed Ning Ying his broken tooth again: "Look, I even knocked off the big gold tooth my grandfather gave me during my trip to Shaanxi. If the deal fails, I will lose everything. I might even lose my father's coffin money."

"Sister Yingzi, if my old man hadn't bought your Yuan Datou and helped you to cover up your lie..."

Seeing that this guy was trying to curry favor with her by bringing up some old stories, Ning Ying stopped him immediately and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, our batch of snake venom ointment will be accepted by the army."

"Yeah, why didn't I think of that just now? You must have informed your brother-in-law. Will you still worry about selling it then?"

"Qin Zhao is not that kind of person. Rules are rules. It's just that the batch of snake venom ointment we have is just for emergency use. Also, don't call him brother-in-law. He has no intention of doing that."

Gu Jin muttered quietly in his heart, it was only a matter of time. It was obvious that Qin Zhao was a ruthless person. Once he was targeted by such a person, how could he escape?

"Yes, yes, yes, whatever Sister Yingzi says is what it is."

Ning Ying suddenly stared at him with a smile: "Gu Jin, let me ask you, do you want to just make this little fortune now, or do you want to make more money?"

Gu Jin shuddered: "Sister Yingzi, why do I feel like you are plotting against me again?"

"Come on, talk to me."

"Of course it's the latter. Who would complain about having too much money?"

"Okay, then you just listen to my instructions and I guarantee you'll make a fortune. Not to mention a small gold tooth, even your great-grandfather's coffin will be refurbished into gold."

"real or fake?"

Ning Ying kept the secret: "We'll probably have the answer tonight."

The two were led by the staff back to their respective rooms.

"Sister-in-law, the resettlement site is in a poor condition. I'm sorry to bother you and Captain Qin for now."

"Is this Qin Zhao's room?"

"Yes, Captain Qin often comes here to deploy supplies and manpower. Sometimes it's too late and he has to stay here overnight. The leader helped him apply for this room."

"Can I...change to another room?"

The staff thought she was dissatisfied with the small size of the room and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, sister-in-law. There are more and more disaster victims and we really can't squeeze out any extra rooms at the resettlement site."

Thinking that Qin Zhao might just say hello and leave, she waved her hand and said, "Forget it, let's just take this one."

Each compartment in the resettlement site is less than ten square meters, with only a bed and a bench inside, and Qin Zhao's military suitcase placed on the bench.

After a while, the staff knocked on the door again: "Sister-in-law, is this your suitcase?"

Ning Ying was very happy to see the things she had lost and found again: "Thank you."

It would be better if she could find it earlier, then she wouldn't have to wear Qin Zhao's clothes.

"You're welcome. My clothes are all wet. It's been rainy in Shaanxi lately. I don't think they'll be dry in three to five days."

Well, she had to continue wearing Qin Zhao's clothes.

The staff member originally wanted to tell her what Qin Zhao had already checked, but then changed her mind and thought that it was the couple's business and she didn't need to say anything more.

After closing the door, Ning Ying opened the suitcase and looked through it. Not a single piece of clothing was missing, except for the gift she was going to return to Qin Zhao.

That's made of gold, and it was probably taken away by someone who found it.

It’s over. She can’t pay it back and it seems like she owes Qin Zhao again.

After a day of bumpy ride, Ning Ying's bones felt like they were falling apart and she quickly fell asleep.

In the middle of the night, she felt a pair of eyes staring at her, so she immediately clenched the silver needle, stood up and stabbed the person.
