Chapter 739 Preparations Begin
grew wider.After that was done, the chieftain rubbed his hands and said:"Ripple, are you ready to return to the Lion Guard This little cub...""Chief, I still have my own mission to complete and canno...After Yuan Chongming finished handling his sister and brother-in-law's affairs, he rushed to the supermarket to buy food and drinks. He hurried back home, it was already 10 o'clock, but Tan Jiayao didn't seem hungry and even brought him a plate of cold chicken, which surprised Yuan Chongming. He immediately asked where it came from.
"This is some food that Ripples Sister from across the way sent for you. She said she's moving today and made a delicious celebratory meal, and even treated me to chicken noodle soup."
Tan Jia Yao licked his lips, as if still savoring the deliciousness of the chicken noodle soup.
Only when Yuan Chongming questioned him did he learn that his young nephew, attracted by the fragrance, had gone to the door himself to celebrate the housewarming party, leaving him feeling an urge to cover his face. After coaxing his child to sleep, he came to knock on the door to express his thanks and brought a gift in return.
Ripples looked at the original owner in front of her, feeling that the original owner was still very discerning. Yuan Chongming was 185 centimeters tall, with bronze skin, a buzz cut, and a stern face. His muscles were all hidden under his clothes.
If he hadn't helped the original owner, judging by Yuan Chongming's skill, even if he teamed up with others, he could have lasted until the end. He was truly a good person who was dragged down by the original owner.
This was the first time they met, and these thoughts only flashed by. Then Ripple smiled and said:
You must be Uncle of Tan Jia Yao, right
"Hello, I'm Yuan Chongming. Thank you for having my children for dinner. I returned home rather late today. These are my gifts as a thank you."
Yuan Chongming had a good impression of his niece's friend, so he gave her a large snack gift basket filled with snacks that most college students like, including two bottles of "Happy Fat Man" water.
Ripple didn't hesitate and took it directly:
"You're too polite. My name is Yu Lianyi, but you can just call me Lianyi. We'll be neighbors from now on. If you're busy, you can have your child come over to my place for meals these two days."
Rian chuckled.
"Don't you have class"
Because his young nephew said that Ripple Sister was a junior at Kun Da University, he subconsciously asked.
"Didn't there be a typhoon landing these two days The school has been closed, and I just moved into a new house. I have been at home these days, tidying up the house. I guess I will live here until graduation."
Ripple smiled and said.
"Thank you! If I can't make time to come again, please trouble you."
Obviously Yuan Chongming didn't think Lian Yi was being polite, so he readily agreed.
"Just a friendly reminder, with the typhoon landing, besides buying food, don't forget to prepare some commonly used medicines for children."
Ripple smiled faintly, "In his previous life, it was because of the extreme cold that his child caught a cold. Yuan Chongming had no choice but to carry his child and venture out to find medicine, which is how he met the original owner who was almost frozen to death."
"Thank you for the reminder, I'll go to the drugstore right away."
Yuan Chongming immediately thanked him, he had indeed overlooked this. After all, this was his first time bringing a child with him.
After parting ways, Yuan Chongming put on his coat, picked up his keys and hurried out the door.
Ripples watched the other person leave in her cat's eyes, and then went back to sleep. When she slept until the middle of the night, she got up, ate a bowl of chicken soup, and fed herself. Then she put on a black hoodie, a baseball cap, and a black mask. No matter how much she was monitored, no one would be able to tell if she was male or female. Only then did she go downstairs and leave.
The wind outside grew stronger and stronger, reaching at least level six on the Beaufort scale. She moved quickly towards her target, against the wind.
The target location is the supermarket warehouse she visited during the day. It's not yet in disarray, so she won't mess with anything obvious. However, she can start by collecting things from the storage room.
Because she had been there during the day, she found the warehouse location very easily. The entrance was in the supermarket's underground parking lot. The security guard at the gate had already fallen asleep. This was the time when people were most sleepy.
Touching the warehouse door, he found it was still an electronic lock. Ripples returned to the guard post, entered inside, knocked out the security guard, and then took the electronic card to swipe the door open. His figure flashed and he went in.
The supermarket was obviously just restocked, so it was piled high with goods, almost nowhere to put your feet. Ripples walked directly to the back and used her space ability to gather all the goods inside, leaving only three or four rows of merchandise near the entrance, making it look like nothing had been taken out of the warehouse.
After doing all of that, she returned the card and quickly left the underground parking lot. On her way back to Shanshui Huating community, she also took advantage of the opportunity to empty a privately owned pharmacy, of course leaving behind 20,000 yuan.
By the time she returned home, the wind had picked up again, reaching force seven.
After washing up, Ripples submerged her consciousness into space and quickly began to organize. She separated her living necessities—food, clothing, and shelter—and planned to maintain this discipline until the plants and animals had mutated and the environment stabilized. She wasn't planning on going out before the heavy rain arrived.
Listening to the howling wind outside, ripples drifted back asleep.
By the time I woke up naturally, raindrops had already begun to fall outside the window. Apparently, extreme weather was about to begin.
Lily gazed out the window, watching the city being battered by the strong wind. She felt the destructive power of nature.
When the doorbell rang, Lian Ri was watching the news. Every channel was reporting on the typhoon's landfall and urging everyone to stay home as much as possible and prepare at least two weeks' worth of food and supplies. The camera then cut to shoppers scrambling to buy up provisions in the wind and rain.
A ripple through the cat's eye peeked, and opened the door. This time it was Yuan Chongming bringing along young Master Tan Jia Yao.
"Liàn Yī, I'm sorry to bother you! Could you please watch over Jiā Yào for me I still need to prepare some things."
"Okay, I can take care of Jiayao. Could you please bring me some things"
"Okay, is there anything else you haven't prepared"
Yuan Chongming asked,
"Yuan Ge, I need a weapon for self-defense."
Ripple bluntly said.
"This is unnecessary!"
Yuan Chongming hesitated.
"If I must say, I had a nightmare last night. In my dream, I was trapped here and then bad people came to rob me of my food and even bully me. I woke up in fright and couldn't sleep for the rest of the night."
Ripples caressed her chest as she rambled.
Yuan Chongming twitched the corner of his mouth and said:
"That was just a dream."
“I have very vivid dreams. When I was little, I dreamt that my uncle and aunt fell into the water, and two days later they both drowned. There were a few other times like this too. I haven't had such dreams in a long time, but anyway, I’m still going to prepare just in case, it’s better to be safe than sorry.”
Ripple said.
"Okay! I'll try my best, but I can't guarantee anything."
"Just do your best, I'll send you the money."
Ripple immediately said.
"No, just consider it payment for watching the kids!"
After some back and forth discussion, the guardianship of Little Tam Jialei was temporarily transferred to Lianyi. She took the child in and switched on the animation channel for him to watch cartoons.
"Dad and Mom only let me watch 40 minutes of cartoons every day, Ripple sister, can I watch for an extra half hour today"
Jaya asked in a negotiating tone.
"No problem, you can watch for half an hour more, then we'll do some crafts."
Ripple patted Xiao Dou Ding's head and smiled, "Anyway, in half a month, the TV signal will be gone. You won't be able to watch it even if you want to."
Thank you, sister!
Jaya cheered loudly and happily went to watch the animated movie.ull of bewilderment, directly asked:""I'm standing right here, aren't I Who said I fell into the river""Pan Zhiqing said she saw you fall into the river."Someone immediately said.With a beautiful frow...
