Liu Daxi and several other young men hurried downstairs and soon arrived at the warehouse where grain was stored. Without even taking a break, they began to load rice, flour, grain and oil.

When the heavy bags of food were pressed on their backs, their steps became a little heavy, but thinking that the food and drink of everyone on the fifth floor depended on these, they gritted their teeth and quickened their pace to hurry back.

As soon as Nanny Yang and Rendong walked out of the house, they saw the men carrying food upstairs. They didn't have time to say hello. In short, everything was a race against time.

Madam Yang narrowed her eyes, remembering something very important. She whispered, "Rosewood, give me all the things, and go carry the jar of water from the girl's room."

As soon as Honeysuckle heard what Yang Ma meant, she understood that in addition to eating, they also needed to drink, so they must need water. There was no water on the fifth floor, and she couldn't ask the girl to get water from the space on the spot.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Ma'am." As she said this, Rendong put the quilts she was holding on Ma'am Yang's shoulders.

Nanny Yang only felt a little tired. "It's okay. I can still bear it. You can go now."

Honeysuckle responded and went back into the house, then bent down and easily carried the water jar onto her shoulder, as if the water jar was weightless.

She walked briskly out of the house and went up to the fifth floor. When she saw Madam Yang, she said, "Madam, be careful. I'll come down to help you after I put the water tank up."

Nanny Yang also said with a relaxed look: "No need, I am only slightly weaker than you, I can handle this by myself."

After hearing what Nanny Yang said, Rendong smiled and said nothing more, and continued to stride towards the fifth floor.

When she reached the fifth floor, she put the water jar down steadily, looked at the busy figures of the people, and shouted loudly: "The water is here, now we have food and drink."

When everyone heard this, they gathered around and looked relieved.

Song Da smiled and said, "Rosewood, thanks to you, your strength is really admirable. If it were us, I don't know how much effort it would take to get this water tank up."

"Oh no, come and see, the fog has reached our tower." Liu Qiang shouted with a grim expression.

When everyone heard this, their faces changed and they rushed to the window. They saw that the white mist had already rolled outside the courtyard.

Because the courtyard wall was built high, the thick white fog did not drift in, but there was still a wisp of fog drifting into the yard through the gap in the door.

When everyone saw this scene, they immediately felt uneasy and scared, and they started talking about it.

Song Mingtao frowned and said worriedly, "This fog looks weird. It has already entered the yard. I don't know what will happen next. I hope nothing serious will happen. Doctor Wu, do you think this fog is poisonous?"

Doctor Wu's mouth twitched, and he said helplessly: "Manager Song, you think too highly of me. I am just a village doctor. How can I be so capable as to tell whether the mist is poisonous or not? You might as well ask a knowledgeable girl instead of asking me."

As soon as Doctor Wu finished speaking, everyone looked at Su Yue with anticipation in their eyes.

Su Yue sighed in her heart, how could she know all this? This fog was just one of the author's ideas in the book. How could she know what kind of situation this white fog would bring.

"This is the first time I've seen such a situation, and it's not mentioned in any of the miscellaneous books I've read."

When everyone heard Su Yue's words, their expectant eyes dimmed instantly, and the uneasiness on their faces became even stronger. For a moment, the atmosphere became more depressing and dull.

Nanny Yang narrowed her eyes, looked at the fog, and whispered, "This fog is coming fiercely. Not to mention the young lady, even I, an old servant, have never seen such strange fog in my life. Anyway, this fog is really strange, and everyone should be alert."

Zhong Tie's wife held the youngest child in her arms, her body trembling slightly, and said in a sobbing voice: "What should we do? It feels so scary. Can we hide here on the fifth floor?

Zhong Tie heard that his wife's voice was not right, so he patted her shoulder and comforted her: "Don't worry, even if the sky falls, I will support you with your man."

Several of Zhong Tie's disciples also spoke up: "Master's wife, don't be afraid, we are here for you."

Zhong Tie's wife just nodded slightly without saying anything, but while she was touched, she was also complaining, what can you guys do? You are not as useful as a girl.

Liu Daxi tightly gripped the crossbow in his hand and said, "No matter what it is, if it dares to hurt the people in our tower, we will fight it to the death."

Su Yue raised her hand to signal everyone to calm down first, and said loudly: "Don't worry, there is no point in panicking now. I see that the fog has not risen, which proves that we are still very safe now.

We continue to pay attention to the movement of the fog. Women take good care of the elderly and children and make sure they eat and sleep. If the sky collapses, there are men with me to hold it up. Don't be afraid."

After hearing Su Yue's words, everyone calmed down a little, but their eyes looking towards the fog were still full of vigilance and worry.

Song Mingtao cleared his throat and continued, "The girl is right. We can't lose our composure. Let's eat the New Year's Eve dumplings and then divide into several groups, taking turns to continue to stay here and stare at the fog.

Everyone else is exhausted after a day of work, and we don’t know what tomorrow will be like, so those who haven’t taken their turn should take a good rest and recharge their batteries.”

After listening to Song Mingtao's proposal, everyone thought it was very reasonable, so they returned to their respective seats and prepared to continue eating the New Year's Eve dumplings that they had not finished yet.

But at this moment, the dumplings in my mouth no longer have the taste of the lively New Year's celebration.

Everyone had lost their appetite and were still worried about the strange fog that was spreading outside.

Su Yue had no appetite at this time, but she still forced herself to eat two large bowls of dumplings.

Just as Song Mingtao said, she didn't know what the situation would be like tomorrow, so she had to adjust herself to the best condition.

After eating dumplings, everyone quickly divided into several groups according to Song Mingtao's arrangement. The first group consisted of Liu Daxi and Liu Ye.

The two men stood by the window with bows and crossbows in their hands, staring at the rolling white mist with sharp eyes.

Even if the others were not sleepy, they all lay down and closed their eyes to rest. At this time, everyone was thinking about the same question, which was what impact the white fog would bring, and whether it would float to the fifth floor?

Su Yue also lay down to rest with the help of Nanny Yang and Rendong. She thought she would not be able to sleep.

But as he heard the occasional crying of the Wu family's baby and the soothing tune sung softly by Wu Yong's wife, he gradually fell asleep.
