In a year of natural disasters, the young woman had billions of resources to build a paradise.

Jiang Ji left, beaming with satisfaction.

Many onlookers turned and ran away. The ground had already stabilized, so they had to hurry home to discuss the situation.

Those scholars have a broader perspective than we can imagine! If I don't buy it now, I might not be able to get it again!

Watching the brother and sister go back and forth, Granny Zhao was repeatedly surprised.

Others might not know, but she knew that the ballad was spread by that group of little beggars, and that it was Jiang who instructed them to do so!

But that third Jiang fellow still dared to show off his limited skills in front of the real master, what a disgrace! They were born of the same mother, so how come both the eldest and third Jiang brothers are so unpresentable? On the contrary, the young lady Jiang, who was sold as a child, is capable, kind, and upright!

I just don't know what she's trying to do, deliberately putting on this show for Jiang Laosan? She clearly bought quite a lot, didn't she?

However, as an outsider, she couldn't ask too many questions; she could simply lend a hand if needed.

Jiang Mianmian helped Zhao Mama to a corner. "Mama, are you preparing to leave the city?"

"Indeed, that's what I came here for today."

With no one around, Granny Zhao relayed Old Madam Ye's message: "Miss Jiang can pack some more today, but you need to tell me how many people you're taking so I can prepare the carriage."

"Are you taking me with you to the estate?"

Jiang Mianmian was a little surprised; she thought they had come to say goodbye.

How could they let a complete stranger like her travel with them? And even tell her she could 'bring whomever she wanted'?

It has to be said that the conditions were so good that she was tempted! But for her, who already had a supply warehouse, following the Ye family would actually be inconvenient.

Granny Zhao smiled and said, "Yes, let's go to the estate together, it's just to the east..."

"Granny, thank you for your kindness, Madam, but we won't be going."

Jiang Mianmian took out a small box from her sleeve pocket. "There are too many of us, and to be honest, we left the city this morning. If it weren't for a little accident, we wouldn't be here. These are some common pills, with the formula and usage clearly written. We might need them in the future. Consider this a small token of my appreciation."

Even after she finished speaking and handed the box over, Granny Zhao was still a little taken aback.

She asked blankly, "You're not going?"

The dozen or so young women from Lingxiao Tower have already left the city? Where could a group of weak women go? It's not that she's arrogant, but going with the Ye family is the best and safest option!

But what did she hear?

She! Granny Zhao! Was rejected!

Never before! No one! Has ever been able to refuse her, Granny Zhao!

Then she saw Jiang Mianmian nod affirmatively once again.

She grew anxious, "You silly girl, don't be afraid to trouble us. What time is it now? Being safe and sound is the most important thing! Don't do anything foolish!"

"Don't worry, I need to get out of the city as soon as possible to find Jiu Niang and the others, so I'll be leaving now. Please give my regards to the old lady for me."

After saying that, Jiang Mianmian didn't linger any longer and turned to leave with Twenty-Five.

"Hey?"

Granny Zhao could only manage a couple of steps before stopping, seeing the girl's resolute attitude. "Let's go, back to the manor."

She casually handed the small box to a guard to hold.

The Ye family has too many pills, not to mention the common ones, they even have the rarest ones. But since their kindness is precious, we should keep them safe. I wonder if the old doctor has finished making the epilepsy-stabilizing pills yet.

With that in mind, she turned a corner and went to the clinic where the old doctor worked.

Jiang Mianmian, accompanied by Twenty-Five, first went back to the East Gate and circled around. Finding the gate closed, she inquired about it.

It is said that the magistrate only ordered the gate to be closed, but did not say when it would be opened.

He was probably worried that the songs would influence people's hearts, and if everyone in the city ran away, he would surely be punished for mismanagement.

Jiang Mianmian felt heavy-hearted. No one dared to gamble before the natural disaster struck, and it was normal for the county magistrate to want to stabilize public sentiment.

Fengshui County has a population of 100,000, including all the villages, with nearly 10,000 in the county seat alone. In the past, when floods struck, countless people died and were injured. Will the outcome be the same this time?

"Why is Sister Mianmian unhappy? Is it because of that bad brother from earlier?"

Twenty-five felt that even the candy in her mouth didn't taste sweet anymore.

Jiang Mianmian shook her head. "My sister is thinking about how to get out with the door closed."

"Isn't this simple?"

Twenty-five breathed a sigh of relief. She couldn't beat the bad guy, but she could beat this one!

She gestured with her hands, "Couldn't we just dig a hole in the corner, or climb over the wall?"

When they were at Lingxiao Tower, she and her sister, Twenty-Two, would climb through the dog hole to go out and play. It was so convenient, hehe.

Jiang Mianmian smiled wryly; that was the city wall.

She has the tools to climb the wall; she can even get up there with just twenty-five. But with so many people, not everyone can climb the wall.

There's also digging holes. It's easy to dig holes in ordinary brick walls, but that's a city wall. Unless a cannon blasts it, it's impossible.

She suddenly stopped in her tracks. There seemed to be... a rocket launcher in the warehouse?

Weapons of mass destruction like cannons are very difficult to obtain; basically, what she puts in her warehouse is scrap. However, she has collected some small firearms, such as various guns, explosives, and even bulletproof vests.

Among them were two large crates of rocket launchers!

"Little Twenty-Five! You're amazing!"

Jiang Mianmian happily picked up Twenty-Five, "Come on, let's go back upstairs, I'll make you something delicious!"

"Hehehe, I want to eat rainbow candy too!"

Twenty-five laughed incessantly, shaking the empty candy box.

"Ah! When did you finish all that candy? Kids get cavities from eating too much candy! No more candy today!"

Jiang Mianmian put on a stern face, thinking that when she got back, she would quickly brush her teeth and then do a fissure sealant treatment.

When she was on missions in the modern world, many children had fluoride applied from a young age, and later had fissure sealants applied to their teeth, resulting in white, healthy teeth free of cavities! So of course she had to equip Twenty-Five with all the necessary gear.

Not only for the 25th, but also for other things that might be needed by the other people in the building, she tried her best to prepare.

Rongguo was already quite prosperous compared to other small countries, but it was far from comparable to the modern world she had lived in.

Since we can't take them away from this world full of natural disasters, we can only bring the modern world here!

Upon hearing that she couldn't have candy today, Twenty-Five immediately pretended to cry: "No! Poor Twenty-Five, your sister won't give you candy, boohoo~"

Jiang Mianmian reached out and gently patted her lips.

"Waaaa, waaaa, waaaa..."

Twenty-five: "..."

The two returned to Lingxiao Tower laughing and joking.

At this moment, Li, who had fainted by the wall of Fenglefang, slowly regained consciousness.
