Apocalypse Shuttle Journey

Chapter 646 Earthquake

After hearing Jiang Meng's words, Lu Wei and the others looked better.

If there really was a dead body in the fish pond yesterday, then the fish we ate last night would have been soaked in the dead body. Who could bear that?

Then there was the sound of footsteps. Jiang Meng turned around and saw that it was the village chief Xu Ke and his men who had already walked out of Shuidu Primary School.

Xu Ke seemed to realize something, turned around and looked at Deng Qing, and said, "You have to go to your fish pond too."

Deng Qing frowned when he heard what Xu Ke said, but Deng Qing also knew that what Xu Ke said made sense.

So he walked towards Xu Ke.

Wang Quan and the other two said they didn't want to go at all. Seeing the corpse once was enough, and they didn't want to see it a second time.

As Deng Qing, Xu Ke and others left, the villagers in the playground of Shuidu Primary School began to talk about it.

Who would have thought that someone did not die in the earthquake, but died in Deng Qing’s fish pond?

Lu Wei couldn't help but say, "It's really a troubled time."

Li Xuan nodded when he heard Lu Wei's words. Who said it wasn't true?

But if you're hungry, you still have to eat.

So Li Xuan picked up the wok on the electric tricycle, and took out a few bowls and a few pairs of chopsticks from the sack beside it.

These things are the most abundant in the breakfast shop, so when Li Xuan and Lu Wei went to the breakfast shop to look for things, they naturally brought these things back.

When Lu Wei saw Li Xuan's actions, he hurried forward to help and took the wok from Li Xuan's hand.

Then they both went to the elementary school toilet. The pot was a little dirty and needed to be washed.

Fortunately, most of the people in the village use well water, so there is still water here.

After a while, Lu Wei came back with a wok that was half filled with water.

Li Xuan followed Lu Wei, holding a bowl and chopsticks.

After seeing Li Xuan's actions, Han Qin gathered the firewood together and finally lit it.

After Li Xuan put away the dishes and chopsticks, he opened one of the bags of flour, took out some flour, put it in a bowl, and added a little water.

He started kneading, and under Li Xuan's actions, a dough took shape in the bowl.

Finally, all you have to do is wait for the water to boil.

Han Qin, who was standing by, kept adding firewood to the fire. Lu Jiang and Lu Hui were staring at the flames helplessly.

At this time, Jiang Meng looked at the blazing flames and suddenly thought of something.

I remember that when I was in the countryside, I would always put a few sweet potatoes in when roasting a fire. The sweet potatoes roasted this way would be very sweet.

So Jiang Meng stood up and opened his suitcase. No one else knew what was in Jiang Meng's suitcase, nor did they know what Jiang Meng was going to do.

So Jiang Meng can do what he wants to do very well.

Jiang Meng took out a few sweet potatoes from the suitcase, actually from the space.

Then Jiang Meng walked to the fire without having to wash it.

He threw the sweet potato into the fire, and after the sweet potato fell into the fire, it brought up a string of sparks.

Jiang Mengcai raised his head and said to Li Xuan and the others, "I have a few sweet potatoes in my suitcase. You can have some."

Li Xuan smiled and said to Jiang Meng, "Sweet potatoes are good."

Lu Wei, Lu Qiu, and Han Qin also smiled happily.

Lu Jiang said happily, "I like roasted sweet potatoes the most."

Lu Hui also stared at the fire intently, as if the roasted sweet potatoes would jump out of it in the next second.

After a long while, the water in the wok placed on the fire began to boil and was bubbling.

But it wasn't fully open yet, so Li Xuan waited patiently for a while until the water boiled completely.

Li Xuancai pinched the dough in the bowl into small balls and while pinching, he threw the small balls into the boiling water.

The little ball kept floating up and down in the boiling water.

After kneading the dough into small balls, Li Xuan picked up the chopsticks and stirred the pot to prevent the dough lumps from sticking to the bottom of the pot.

As Li Xuan stirred the food, a fragrant aroma of flour immediately wafted into his nose, and the smell was spreading more and more.

After Lu Wei smelled the smell, he touched his rumbling stomach and said, "I'm really hungry."

Li Xuan couldn't help but smile and said, "We'll be able to eat in a while, bring the bowl over first."

After hearing what Li Xuan said, Lu Wei hurriedly went to get the bowl and waited beside Li Xuan.

Jiang Meng could see that there were some gaps on the edges of these bowls, some large and some small.

I guess this is the best bowl that Li Xuan and Lu Wei can find.

When Lu Wei came to him with a bowl of dumpling soup, Jiang Meng did not hesitate too much. After that, he said to Lu Wei and the others, "Thank you."

Lu Wei waved his hand, and Li Xuan said nonchalantly, "What's the big deal? Just enjoy your meal. If it's not enough, just order more."

Lu Qiu and Han Qin also looked kindly at Jiang Meng.

Although Li Xuan's family lived in harmony, there were some people who couldn't stand it.

Someone immediately said sarcastically, "We only give food to outsiders because we have enough food."

As soon as he said this, the person next to him quickly pulled his sleeve and signaled him to stop talking.

After Jiang Meng heard what he said, she glanced at him and said to Li Xuan, "Okay, Aunt Xuan."

Obviously, he didn't take that person seriously.

This made the man even more angry, because it was exactly what he said.

How many people are hungry now? It's not like yesterday, when everyone was fine if they skipped one or two meals.

The Li Xuan family had food, but they actually gave it to others. What was so special about Jiang Meng? Why didn't he give it to them?

The man immediately said sarcastically: "I hope they don't raise an ungrateful wolf."

When the people around heard him say this, they had no intention of stopping him. They were all happy to watch the show. Besides, Jiang Meng was not familiar with them, so why should they interfere?

Only that person, the one next to him, kept stopping him: "Can you please stop talking? Even if you want to talk, can you speak softly?"

Li Xuan, Lu Wei and others had not expected this.

Just a bowl of dumpling soup can cause such a commotion. Are they too idle or too stingy?

Li Xuan looked at Jiang Meng's calm face, worried about what happened to Jiang Meng and kept it to himself.

So Li Xuan looked at the sweet potatoes in the fire and said loudly: "Jiang Meng, we haven't finished eating the fish you brought back yesterday.

Today you gave us some sweet potatoes again, and we don’t know how to thank you enough.”

The sound was so loud that almost everyone in the playground could hear it.

Everyone then realized that Jiang Meng was not a freeloader, but had a close relationship with Li Xuan's family.

Immediately, someone looked at the person who was being sarcastic to Jiang Meng with contempt.

Someone recognized who he was and immediately asked, "Isn't this Guan Ce?"

The person next to him continued, “That’s him. I never expected he has such a narrow mind.

It's someone else's food, you can eat it however you want, but he's still complaining about it."

Everyone was talking about Guan Ce. Some said that Guan Ce let his parents lie on the cold ground like that, not even afraid of catching a cold, and that he had no filial piety at all.

Some say that Guan Ce was rescued by Jiang Meng's rescue team that day, but he doesn't remember the favor at all. If we were to say who is an ungrateful person, Guan Ce would probably be the most appropriate one.

Guan Ce's face became darker and darker amidst the discussions.

The person who had been trying to stop Guan Ce was Guan Ce's mother Liu Ying.

Liu Ying, after exchanging a glance with his partner Guan Fu beside him, could not help but sigh.

Jiang Meng knew that Li Xuan's words were meant to help him out, but seeing Guan Ce suffering the consequences of his own actions, Jiang Meng found it extremely amusing.

Li Xuan and Lu Wei also looked at Guan Ce with disgust.

However, no one paid any extra attention to Guan Ce. After eating the dumpling soup, the sweet potatoes were almost done roasting.

After Jiang Meng dug out the sweet potatoes, she could see that they were still emitting hot smoke while cooling down.

After seeing the sweet potatoes, Li Xuan subconsciously counted them and couldn't help but say, "This is just enough for one person."

After hearing what Li Xuan said, Lu Wei also looked over and found that it was true. He couldn't help but feel a little strange. How could the number of sweet potatoes be exactly the same?

Just now he had prepared that if the quantity was not enough, he would not eat it himself and let them eat it.

Jiang Meng looked at the few people with puzzled faces and said slowly: "It's enough for this meal, but not for the next one."

As soon as these words came out, Lu Wei's doubts were immediately dispelled.

Then Jiang Meng continued: "You can take it yourself."

Lu Jiang and Lu Hui had long since lost patience and reached out to grab the sweet potatoes as soon as Jiang Meng finished speaking.

But the sweet potatoes, having just been taken out of the fire, were still obviously hot to the touch.

Feeling the heat, Lu Jiang and Lu Hui immediately retracted their hands and placed their hands on their earlobes.

Seeing this, Lu Qiu, Han Qin, Lu Wei, and Li Xuan all laughed.

Lu Qiu picked up a sweet potato, blew on it, and then handed it to Lu Jiang: "It's ok now, but it's still a little hot, so eat it slowly."

Han Qin also picked up a sweet potato, blew it to cool it down a little, and then handed it to Lu Hui.

Jiang Meng was tearing the skin of the sweet potato in her hand. As soon as she tore off a piece of the skin, the sweet scent of sweet potato spread all around.

It smells refreshing and some people can't help swallowing after smelling it.

There were also people who stared blankly at Jiang Meng and others, with the sweet potatoes in their hands and their eyeballs changing with the movements of Jiang Meng and others.

Lu Jiang was the first person to bite the sweet potato. After eating it, Lu Jiang squinted his eyes and said, "It's delicious."

The others looked at Lu Jiang's expression and wondered, is it really that delicious?

Lu Hui glanced at Lu Jiang and said, "Sister, is it that serious?"

Then he took a bite of the sweet potato in his hand. After eating it, Lu Hui realized that what Lu Jiang said was true.

Lu Jiang looked at Lu Hui's enjoyable expression and said smugly, "How was it?"

Lu Huicai didn't have time to reply to Lu Jiang, but was concentrating on eating the sweet potato in his hand.

Lu Wei and the other three adults were also somewhat puzzled by the children's reactions, but after eating the sweet potatoes, they no longer thought so.

Li Xuan also asked Jiang Meng, "Where did this sweet potato come from? Why is it so delicious?"

They have farmers in their own family, so how could they not know the good and bad of food, let alone something as common as sweet potato.

Li Xuan can guarantee that she has never eaten sweet potatoes so delicious.

Lu Qiu and Han Qin also looked at Jiang Meng curiously, and they all wanted to know the answer to the question.

If they knew where the sweet potato seeds came from, they could grow them themselves in the future.

Jiang Meng looked at the curious eyes of several people. She couldn't tell them clearly that this was nurtured by her with spiritual energy in the past and it was the first of its kind in the world.

It is impossible to find it anywhere else.

Jiang Meng pondered for a moment and then said to Li Xuan and the others, "I bought this from a small vendor on my way back. When I bought it, I didn't know it would taste this good."

Li Xuan couldn't help but say, "It's really a pity."

Lu Wei and his friends also thought so. It is not easy to find such small vendors.

When a few people were eating sweet potatoes, they inevitably attracted the attention of others.

When most people were still hungry, Li Xuan and his friends not only had dumpling soup to eat, but also sweet potatoes to eat. How could this not attract other people's attention?

But Guan Ce had just been ridiculed by everyone. Even if everyone wanted to ask Li Xuan and the others for food, they were worried about ending up like Guan Ce.

At this moment, someone suddenly walked up to Li Xuan and the others and said in a weak voice, "Can I have some of your noodle dumpling soup?"

After Jiang Meng heard the voice, he looked over and saw a familiar person, Su Huayin.

Looking at the wok again, you can clearly see that there are no lumps of dough in the wok, only some soup in it.

So Li Xuan couldn't refuse Su Huayin. After all, what Su Huayin wanted was dough, not anything else.

If it was Su Huayin who asked me for flour or something else, I would definitely not do it.

Su Huayin was obviously a little restrained, and behind Su Huayin, one could see an elderly man peeking around, seemingly trying to see if Su Huayin was successful.

Just when Su Huayin thought she was going to be rejected, Li Xuan's voice reached her ears: "It's just some noodle soup. If you want, just serve yourself."

Su Huayin's face suddenly lit up with joy, and she thanked Li Xuan repeatedly.

Then Su Huayin ran back and brought a bowl.

This bowl looked obviously more worn out than the one in Li Xuan's house, but at least it could be used and would not be thrown away.

Su Huayin had just finished serving the soup and was about to turn around and go back.

Jiang Meng saw the old man who was peeking behind Su Huayin stride over to him.

He looked at the noodle soup made by Su Huayin with a look full of disgust.

Without saying anything to Li Xuan and the others, he just picked up the spatula from the wok and stirred it a few times. The noodle soup inside swayed back and forth under the old man's movements.

The old man's actions made Li Xuan and the others stunned. What was going on?
