The daily rainfall caused the floodwaters to rise, making those who had left their homes to come to the rescue site realize that life could become even more difficult.

The only thing that comforted them was that the government provided them with a bag of instant noodles and a bottle of mineral water every day.

Now, upon hearing that someone intended to rob the government's grain reserves, the pent-up discontent and anger in people's hearts flared up like a spark ignited.

Battalion Commander Zhou ordered the perpetrators to be escorted to the conference hall on the tenth floor.

The direct sentencing of the perpetrators serves as a warning and educational example for the public.

If their robbery succeeds this time, it may incite the excited crowd to follow suit, triggering a large-scale riot.

In the past, these people would at most be considered as having committed attempted robbery, and would be sentenced to about five or six years in prison before being released.

If you behave well in prison, you might get a reduction of one or two years, maybe even less than five or six years.

In extraordinary times, special criminal laws are used. Battalion Commander Zhou took this incident as a typical example and executed the leader.

All members of the gang involved in this incident were stripped of their personal freedom and assigned the hardest and most tiring work for reformation.

Jiang Li and Ye Jingmo mingled in the crowd and discovered that this Boss Xiao was someone they knew.

He was the middle-aged man who had been involved in the smuggling and double-crossing of them.

Upon hearing the verdict, Boss Xiao resembled a defeated rooster, radiating regret, resentment, and dissatisfaction.

Li Jiawei looked terrified; he hadn't expected the authorities to handle the matter so severely.

Unfortunately, no matter how much he regretted it, it was all in vain.

Battalion Commander Zhou also recorded what the Li family had done.

If one day the torrential rain ends and social order is restored, the Li family will also be on the official blacklist.

It's impossible to be as wealthy as before.

A gunshot rang out, and Boss Xiao's body stiffened as he fell to the ground, his wide eyes fixed on the front.

Blood seeped from the ruptured wound on his head, staining the carpet on the floor.

Those in the crowd watching the execution who had been thinking about looting supplies suppressed their restless desires.

We can still receive official subsidies, so although we're not getting enough to eat, at least we won't starve.

If someone really had malicious intentions, they would be shot dead.

After this incident, everyone's restless mood calmed down, and the frequency of conflicts decreased significantly.

As time went by, this matter went from being a topic of casual conversation to an uninteresting subject that no one bothered to mention.

Occasionally, when people talk about it, they say these people are foolish, or that evil deeds will be punished.

early morning.

Jiang Li was about to replace the water bucket by the window as usual, but found that the bucket was only half full of water.

It shouldn't be.

A night's rain can usually fill a bucket completely.

Perhaps the rain lessened last night.

Jiang Li looked out the glass window and found no trace of rain.

She was afraid that the rain was too light and she couldn't see clearly through the glass.

Jiang Li opened the glass window, wanting to see the scene outside more clearly.

The sound of the wind outside reached Jiang Li's ears clearly, and she was so shocked that she couldn't believe what she was seeing.

The torrential rain that had lasted for several days stopped, and the sun peeked out, casting a ray of sunlight onto the ground.

"Brother Mo, Brother Mo. The rain has stopped, the rain has stopped."

Jiang Li shouted Ye Jingmo's name loudly, her hurried words eager to share her joy with him.

Ye Jingmo, who was training Pudding, strode towards Jiang Li's side.

He looked out the window and saw that the rain had indeed stopped.

"Brother Mo, we can leave here now and go back to our own homes."

Jiang Li couldn't control herself and grabbed Ye Jingmo's hand, swinging it wildly like a meteor hammer.

Having been away for so long, Jiang Li misses the little villa she and Ye Jingmo renovated together.

I wonder if it will get wet inside? Or be covered in dust?

Ye Jingmo's deep eyes, like melted cream, gazed at Jiang Li with doting affection.

For him, home is not a fixed term; wherever he is with Jiang Li is home.

Pudding sensed its owner's joy and rushed over, standing up and placing its front paws on Jiang Li's body.

It made anxious whimpering sounds.

Jiang Li gave Pudding a big hug without hesitation.

"Pudding, we can go back to the villa now. Then you can go wherever you want."

"Have you been keeping Pudding cooped up all this time?"

Jiang Li affectionately stroked Pudding's head.

Because they were afraid that taking Pudding out for a stroll would attract covetous glances from others, Pudding had to stay in her small room during this period.

This room, which is only about 20 square meters, isn't even big enough for Pudding to do parkour, which has made Pudding a little depressed.

The news that the rain had stopped spread throughout the entire rescue area in an instant.

Some people embraced their loved ones and wept bitterly, grateful to have survived the disaster;

Some people shouted loudly, expressing their inner joy;

Some people remained silent, their eyes filled with tears, lamenting the passing of their relatives and friends.

Many more people have started packing their belongings, preparing to return to their homes as soon as possible.

There's no place like home.

Having been away from home for so long, what I miss most is the warmth of home.

Most people believe that this acid rain and torrential rain is just a temporary natural disaster.

People are eager for order to be restored, to enjoy a civilized and harmonious society, and to live a life where they are well-fed and clothed.

I never imagined this was just the beginning.

The authorities quickly issued a notice stating that once the floodwaters receded, large trucks would be used to transport everyone back to their homes in batches.

Of course, if someone is eager to return home and has the ability to do so on their own, the authorities will not prevent them from doing so.

Jiang Li was packing her luggage for leaving. Actually, there wasn't much to pack; most of her things were stored in her spatial storage.

There was a knock on the door, and Ye Jingmo went to open it.

The person who came was Zhao Teng, and Jiang Li was very surprised to see him.

"This is the rescue boat that you originally rented to the army. We've deflated it and folded it up for you."

The neatly folded rescue boat was placed in a bag and handed to Ye Jingmo by Zhao Teng.

"Battalion Commander Zhou asked if you had a vehicle to leave. If not, he could send a vehicle to take you away."

Zhao Teng brought with him the question from Battalion Commander Zhou.

"Please thank Battalion Commander Zhou for us. We have our own means of leaving."

Jiang Li declined Battalion Commander Zhou's offer.

The villa area is too far from here for official transportation.

"And then there was the incident where Mr. Ye successfully reported something. We originally intended to give him a thousand catties of grain as a reward."

"There wasn't enough food stored at the time, so it wasn't convenient to take it out. Once order is restored, we will exchange the reward for a cash prize and give it to you."

Before Jiang Li could even utter a word of refusal, Zhao Teng saluted and left.

He still had many things to take care of, and he only managed to send the message to Jiang Li and Ye Jingmo during a spare moment in his busy schedule.

At that moment, the door next to them opened, and Huang Caihe walked over.

He came over to ask Ye Jingmo and Jiang Li about their plans.

"Would you like to take the official car back to the community together? It would be good for our two families to travel together and help each other out."

Duoduo poked her little head out from the next room, hoping to go back to the community with Ye Jingmo and Jiang Li.

Jiang Li shook her head, "After all, it's an old neighborhood, and the buildings will definitely have problems after being flooded."

We have another house; we'll go there.

Jiang Li hinted to Huang Caihe that he should move out of the old neighborhood and find a new place to settle down.

"Only when the foundation of a house is solid can one live with peace of mind."

Huang Caihe seemed to be thinking about what he heard. He realized that the old neighborhood was indeed not a safe place.

"Then I wish you a safe journey."

Not wanting to disturb Jiang Li and Ye Jingmo, Huang Caihe offered them his blessings and then immediately rushed back to his room.

He needs to discuss moving to a new house with his wife.

Although Duoduo regretted not being able to leave with Ye Jingmo and Jiang Li, she still obediently waved goodbye to them.
