In the early morning, the sky was overcast, and raindrops pattered on the terrace.
The wind blew the raindrops sideways, bringing with it a chill that made people rub their hands together and shiver.
Jiang Li thought that with the temperature this morning, it would be better to cook some porridge to warm her stomach.
Jiang Li put the rice into the pot to cook, and stirred the bottom of the pot with a spoon from time to time to prevent it from sticking and burning.
Pudding followed closely behind Jiang Li, her round eyes fixed on her, as if afraid that Jiang Li would abandon her.
As Ye Jingmo stepped out of the tent, he smelled the aroma of rice in the air.
He watched Jiang Li preparing breakfast, walked over to her and said, "Go inside and rest for a while. I'll wake you up when the porridge is ready."
Jiang Li blinked her dry eyes, handed the spoon in her hand to Ye Jingmo, and went into the tent to lie down for a while.
The bag in the corner of the tent made a rustling sound, and Jiang Li realized that she had forgotten to give Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai new food.
Jiang Li took out a bag from her spatial storage and cleaned out the remaining grass scraps from the cage, putting them into her spatial storage.
We'll find a place to bury the garbage later.
Jiang Li refilled Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai's fodder and water.
After finishing her work, Jiang Li felt a strong wave of sleepiness wash over her and couldn't help but yawn.
Jiang Li lay directly on the still-warm pillow, closed her eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.
"Lili, wake up, it's time to have breakfast."
Ye Jingmo woke Jiang Li up by gently patting her leg, trying to wake her up.
"Well……"
Jiang Li rolled over in another direction, the blanket naturally covering her head, trying to cover up the annoying noise.
"Duoduo is already up and eating. Do you want Duoduo to wait for you to get up?"
That won't do. Wouldn't that set a bad example for children who are always late?
Jiang Li struggled to her feet, her eyes narrowed to slits.
Jiang Li took out a damp towel from her spatial storage and slapped it on her face. The bone-chilling coolness immediately invigorated her.
Stepping out of the tent, Duoduo sat next to Pudding, the two of them eating two bowls of porridge.
Huang Caihe wolfed down the porridge in his hand, then carried a bowl of porridge into the tent, preparing to feed his wife.
Ye Jingmo ladled a bowl of porridge and placed it in front of Jiang Li, saying, "The porridge is hot, be careful it's hot."
Jiang Li's stomach rumbled with hunger. She picked up the porridge, scooped a spoonful, and gently blew on it.
The rising steam drifted outwards.
As Jiang Li put the meat porridge into her mouth, she felt the porridge slide down her throat and into her stomach.
It only gives you a slight taste; if you want to savor it properly, it's gone in an instant.
Seeing Ye Jingmo bring a bowl of porridge to the unconscious Captain Zhou, Jiang Li asked:
"Brother Mo, have you had breakfast?"
"Eat up, don't worry about me. After you finish eating, pack your things, let's leave as soon as possible."
Jiang Li nodded obediently and quickened her pace, putting the porridge into her mouth.
Once the porridge cooled down, Ye Jingmo fed it to Captain Zhou.
Feeling food being put into his mouth while still half-asleep, Captain Zhou slowly opened his eyes.
Contrary to his expectations, Captain Zhou did not experience the excruciating pain in his injured leg and struggled to get up.
Ye Jingmo stopped him, saying, "Your wound has only been simply bandaged and not stitched up. You can't move around."
"Where is this?"
Captain Zhou glanced around, a look of confusion in his eyes.
He originally thought he was going to die this time, but he was rescued and brought ashore.
Captain Zhou and his team were on their way to a rescue when they passed a place with a fast-flowing stream, where a resident accidentally fell into the water.
He went into the water to help residents onto the rescue boat, but accidentally cut his leg on a metal object.
Meanwhile, he had been submerged in water for a while, and the combination of hypothermia and weakness caused him to be swept away by the water.
“This is a department store. We were on our way to the rescue site and decided to spend the night here, when we found you floating in the floodwaters.”
Jiang Li rolled the packed tent back into the bag, then added, "Brother Mo rescued you."
It was only then that Captain Zhou realized Ye Jingmo looked familiar; he seemed to be a resident of a building they had worked on during a previous rescue.
"Thank you. My name is Zhou Tian, you can just call me by my name."
Zhou Tian expressed his gratitude to Ye Jingmo and Jiang Li, knowing that he was now just a burden.
In today's social environment, everyone avoids such situations like the plague.
Some people even wish they could skin him alive and eat him alive.
Thinking back to what he had seen, Zhou Tian felt that those people could not be considered human, but rather like beasts.
"You finish this bowl of porridge first, then we'll get ready to leave."
Ye Jingmo helped Zhou Tian sit up halfway, placed the bowl in his hands, and told him to eat first.
Now that he has regained consciousness and his hand is fine, Ye Jingmo doesn't think a grown man needs to be fed.
Ye Jingmo followed Jiang Li to pack their things; the portable gas stove that was out in the open could be placed outside.
The extra coal canisters were stored in the backpack.
Huang Caihe also started packing his things, and Duoduo followed behind her father obediently, tidying up the smaller items.
Soon, both sides had packed their belongings.
Jiang Li took out another raincoat from her backpack, and Ye Jingmo helped Zhou Tian put it on.
Zhou Tian wore his rescue suit over his raincoat for an extra layer of protection.
Jiang Li first went down from the terrace to the rescue boat and took the large and small packages handed over by Ye Jingmo.
Jiang Li covered the things with a large quilt, then waved to Pudding, signaling it to jump onto the rescue boat.
Pudding was incredibly brave; without the slightest hesitation, he jumped directly onto the rescue boat.
Huang Caihe carried his wife to the raft first, spread out the quilt, and let his wife lie down first.
Then, she took the large and small packages from Ye Jingmo and carefully placed them in a suitable place.
Finally, there's Duoduo, standing by the terrace waiting for her dad to come and carry her down.
Ye Jingmo carried Zhou Tian onto the rescue boat and placed Zhou Tian next to the package.
Ye Jingmo then untied the securing climbing rope, and the rescue boat began to drift away with the current.
While using the windsurfing board to help him move forward, Ye Jingmo was also alert to his surroundings.
To avoid a repeat of yesterday, where another crocodile emerges from the puddles.
Fortunately, the second half of the trip went smoothly.
More than five hours later, a tall building with the words "Yaster Hotel" on it came into view.
Duoduo jumped up happily, "Dad, we can see tall buildings!"
Dad told Duoduo that once they came to the high-rise building, Mom's illness would be cured, and she would soon be able to talk to Duoduo again.
Jiang Li looked at the towering hotel that seemed to reach into the clouds and was quite amazed.
She had never stayed in such a luxurious hotel before, and she never expected to experience it after a natural disaster.
But won't such a tall building get struck by lightning?
Jiang Li knew, of course, that there must be a lightning rod on the roof, but now that there was standing water downstairs, she wondered if it would conduct electricity upstairs.
In an instant, Jiang Li's attention wandered.
