The Beginning of Natural Disaster, I Won by Hoarding Tens of Billions of Supplies

Chapter 271: Jiang Ning Blushed

“Of course not!” Rong Sanshao was almost choked by her line of thinking. 

He admitted, Jiang Ning was indeed beautiful, but he never lacked women. What kind of beauty had he not seen? Top stars, internet celebrities, young models, commoners—he could have any of them with just a flick in his finger. 

“You’re overthinking,” Rong Sanshao’s face was covered in black lines, “I’m just attracted by your mystery.” 

That was a relief; Jiang Ning was almost scared. Being liked by him would be a disaster. “So what?” 

“I’m curious about you, so today I accidentally hit you with my car.” 

Jiang Ning smiled and said, “Rong Sanshao, I’m very curious about your brain circuits. Should I take a knife and open it to have a look?” 

Hmm, she was definitely the first woman to speak to him like that. 

Rong Sanshao felt a bit awkward, looking away, “I didn’t expect things to blow up like this today. I… I’m sorry.” 

Oh, it turned out even a spoiled rich kid could apologize one day. 

If it were someone else, Jiang Ning might not let it go so easily. But… thinking about the vehicles and parts in her space, and the swallowed pink diamond, her heart felt a bit uneasy. 

Moreover, her ultimate goal was to stay low-key in the villa. The Rong family was not easy to mess with. Since he was offering a way out, there was no need to make things worse. 

“I accept,” Jiang Ning looked at Rong Sanshao, “I’m always one to mind my own business. I just want to live quietly with my door closed. I’m really not interested in you people. Let’s get along peacefully in the future, and it’s best if you treat Building 50 as invisible. 

Of course, if you insist on causing trouble, we’re not afraid either.” 

By “you people,” she was referring to those self-proclaimed high society residents in the community. 

These words were not only for Rong Sanshao but also for those self-important individuals. 

Rong Sanshao felt a bit humiliated but recalling his father’s completely different attitude after meeting Chief Ling, he finally chose to swallow his pride. 

He waved his hand and left gracefully. 

The dog stubbornly stayed in place, baring its teeth at the retreating figure. 

Jiang Ning patted it and went home. 

Closing the courtyard door, Huo Yishen came down from upstairs, “What did he say to you?” 

Jiang Ning told the truth, “He said he was attracted by me.” 

Huo Yishen frowned, taking a while to speak, “And you?” 

Jiang Ning leaned in, sniffing in front of him, “What’s that smell? It seems a bit sour.” 

Huo Yishen hugged her, “Were you attracted by him too?” 

“Jealous?” Jiang Ning laughed, “You have no confidence in yourself?” 

Of course not, but he still felt uncomfortable. 

“You’re overthinking. I guess he got knocked silly and has some brain issues.” 

Jiang Ning sat down to explain, “Rong Sanshao is the youngest of the Rong family. He was spoiled since childhood, always surrounded by admirers, which made him arrogant. But then the apocalypse taught him a lesson. 

I guess the Rong family didn’t have a good time at the base, or they wouldn’t have returned to Fengcheng to live low-key.” 

Before the apocalypse, anyone who dared to disrespect the Rong family would have been destroyed. 

After the bloody grind of the apocalypse, the Rong family had become more cautious and low-key, but they hadn’t lost their inherent pride, leading to Rong Sanshao’s erratic behavior. 

Anyway, as long as the Rong family didn’t provoke her, Jiang Ning was willing to keep the peace. 

She just never expected that Rong Sanshao wasn’t just erratic, but seriously sick. 

He even sent people to deliver food. 

Jiang Ning was speechless and ignored it. 

Who knew, the next day, he sent people again, this time with drinks. 

He said it was a misunderstanding and had the case dismissed at the police station. 

Jiang Ning ignored it and just let the vicious dog bark. 

She planted herbs in the rooftop greenhouse, which wilted for several days before gradually adapting to the climate and recovering. 

The herbs thrived in her space which allows for a gradual transition to the greenhouse. If she directly transplanted from the wild, most of the seedlings would likely die, not to mention the challenges of outdoor cultivation. 

Clearly, cultivating herbs was a complex task. 

Ma Guangnian had provided a comprehensive selection, including those for treating colds and pneumonia, essentially providing a standardized answer. 

Jiang Ning planned to venture into the mountains to find the missing herbs. 

Huo Yishen had no objections, but the chickens, ducks, geese, and rabbits posed a problem as they couldn’t be stored in the space. 

Doudou volunteered, “Let Brother Xiao Mu take care of them. He loves Da Hui and Xiao Bai.” 

The poultry were too many for a child to handle alone, and everyone knew how much Qin Chuan treasured his son. 

Jiang Ning thought for a moment and took out her walkie-talkie to ask. 

She learned that the family would be out for a few days, and Qin Chuan agreed readily, “Sure, bring them over. Xiao Mu has been wanting to raise some poultry. It’ll be a good experience for him.” 

Raising poultry was dirty and smelly, so letting the boy experience it might teach him some hardship. 

Thus, two large cages of poultry, along with a big bag of feed made from crushed corn and sweet potato seedlings, were sent over. 

The three humans and one dog set off again. 

They avoided Jinshi Mountain, which had likely been thoroughly searched, and chose to explore the area around the intercity villa from another direction. 

The four seasons were becoming more distinct, and many early sprouting seedlings had been frostbitten or frozen to death. 

However, some tenacious plants continued to resist the natural disasters. 

During this time, Jiang Ning had taught the siblings a lot about herbal medicine. As they split up to search the mountain, Doudou was accompanied by the dog for safety. 

By the end of the day, they had collected dozens of herbs, all stored in the space for preservation. 

As the evening turned cold, Jiang Ning brought out the mummy sleeping bags, one for her and Huo Yishen, while Doudou shared one with the dog. 

She had stocked up on deworming medicine, so there was no worry about parasites on the dog. 

The next morning, the weather was good. Remembering the amount of wood they used to buy a house, they took out chainsaws and stockpiled more. 

In the evening, as they crossed the mountain, Doudou, standing on the peak, exclaimed, “Brother, there’s smoke in the valley.” 

To be precise, it was fog. 

Constant streams of fog lightly hovered over the valley. 

The area had experienced significant earthquakes, so the three humans and one dog cautiously approached the valley. 

They discovered a large lake with a sulfuric smell. 

It was a hot spring! 

Likely a result of the earthquakes, otherwise, it would have been developed into a tourist resort long ago. 

The lake was large, about three or four acres, with waves continuously rolling in the center. 

Jiang Ning tested the water, estimating it to be around 50-60 degrees Celsius. 

Feeling exhausted from the past few days of rough living and the drastic temperature differences in the wild, she suggested, “How about a hot spring bath?” 

Who could resist the allure of a hot spring? 

However, the high temperature of the spring water and potential unknown dangers in the lake called for caution. 

Jiang Ning had previously stocked up on many wooden bathtubs from Master Tu, which were perfect for this situation. 

Each person got a tub, ensuring the water temperature was suitable before getting in. 

They even had swimsuits stored in the space, so everyone got one. 

Jiang Ning and Huo Yishen wore the ones they had worn from Lian Haoteng Court, while Doudou was wearing a dress. The dog… well, it didn’t matter if it wore one or not. 

While changing, Jiang Ning couldn’t help but glance at Huo Yishen, then blushed. 

Ahem!
