Chapter 199: Chapter 143: Director Wang’s Invitation (Two in One)_3

She sighed with relief, but then slightly frowned when she realized she was hungry, and spoke to Mu Mingxuan with a bit of resentment, "Brother Mingxuan, Jiang Ning and the others have taken all our food, what do we do now?"

Mu Mingxuan furrowed his brows, as did Yuan Wei and the others, their expressions ugly.

They had initially planned to move the food into their own room, but Mu Mingxuan said that since Huo Miao would be cooking, it would be inconvenient to keep these grains and flours in their room, so they simply moved everything to Huo Miao’s room.

Since they were mostly food that needed cooking, except for a few fruits, no one was worried about Huo Miao stealing any, so they agreed.

Now look what happened, the food was moved out just as it had been moved in by Nong Chun and his group.

If they had known this would happen, it would’ve been better to hide the food in their own rooms! Maybe then Jiang Ning and the others wouldn’t have found it so quickly!

Mu Mingxuan raised his hand to his forehead, "Let’s go back and rest for now, we’ll see in the afternoon."

He had just been almost killed by Jiang Ning, and although his arm was healed, he still had many other bruises and swollen wounds that hurt!

The others were no different from Mu Mingxuan, their wounds only greater in number.

Everyone nodded lethargically and went back to their rooms to rest.

They didn’t dare, nor had the strength, to fight for food now anyway.

...

Jian Tiantian’s noodle cooking skills were still on point, and as none of them were picky eaters, they sat around the dining table and ate their fill.

After the meal, Jiang Ning wanted to take her bowl to the kitchen, but as soon as she stood up, Jian Tiantian, as if knowing what Jiang Ning was about to do, promptly stopped her, smiling, "Jiang Ning, you rest, leave the dishes to me!"

After these incidents, Jian Tiantian had seen through everything. She would never find her own food, so she was determined to cling to Jiang Ning as closely as Nong Chun did, seeing Jiang Ning as her provider of food and clothing on this desolate island!

As long as Jiang Ning was willing, let alone cooking and washing dishes, even washing Jiang Ning’s clothes was fine!

She was determined to follow Jiang Ning and share the meat and soup!

Jian Tiantian’s goal was noble and resolute.

"Drinking fish soup or eating fish meat?"

By her side, Wang Ye teased, and it was only then that Jian Tiantian realized she had let slip her inner thoughts due to nervousness.

She blushed, hurriedly stacked everyone’s empty bowls, and carried them into the kitchen.

Wang Ye was serious though, and he got up from the dining table to look for his self-made fishing rod under the eaves.

Having lived alone here and fished to pass the time, Wang Ye had caught plenty, but now with several more mouths to feed, his old small bamboo rod wouldn’t suffice, and he had to make several more fishing rods.

Nong Chun went into the kitchen to help Jian Tiantian clean up, and after they finished washing the dishes and cleaning up the kitchen, they happily ran to see Wang Ye making fishing tools, even asking if he could teach them how to fish.

Wang Ye happily agreed, and the three of them squatted together to make fishing rods, creating a harmonious scene.

Jiang Ning found the attic’s utility room and succeeded in finding the hoe she wanted.

The utility room was full of tools, like the chainsaw they used this morning to saw trees—Jiang Ning had also taken that from this utility room.

Besides the chainsaw and hoe, there were axes, hand saws, and other tools useful in the forest, likely intentionally placed there by the production team.

To Jiang Ning’s delight, she even saw bamboo baskets in the corner of the warehouse.

There were three bamboo baskets of different sizes, so Jiang Ning took the top two, along with two hoes and two axes.

She and Qi Xingzhou rested for a while, and when the sun was not so fierce, the two of them each carried a bamboo basket on their back, hoe in hand, and set out.

Wang Ye and the others had finished making the fishing rods and were digging earthworms in the nearby field for bait.

Seeing the figures of Jiang Ning and Qi Xingzhou, Jian Tiantian looked up curiously and asked, "Jiang Ning, where are you going?"

Jiang Ning pointed ahead, "Into the forest."

Wang Ye couldn’t help but ask curiously, "You’re taking hoes? What are you digging for?"

Looking at Qi Xingzhou, who stood quietly and obediently by her side, Jiang Ning answered with a smile, "We’re digging for treasures, the edible kind. Are you coming with us?"

Edible treasures!

How could they not go!

Having witnessed Jiang Ning’s adeptness at finding food, Jian Tiantian and Nong Chun simultaneously stopped what they were doing, eagerly saying, "Yes! Wait for us!"

Nong Chun grabbed Wang Ye’s arm, "Come on, come on, Director Wang, let’s follow Jiang Ning and see, we can fish later!"

Jian Tiantian promptly took the things from Wang Ye’s hands and placed them on the ground, "Yes, yes, let’s go to the forest first with Jiang Ning!"

The two flanked Wang Ye on either side, running towards Jiang Ning.

Wang Ye: "..."

Jiang Ning led them to the place she and Qi Xingzhou had passed at noon and stopped in front of a large cluster of vines.

Nong Chun: ?

Jian Tiantian: ?

Wang Ye exclaimed with surprise, "Wow!!!!"
