Chapter 465: Trouble incoming part 2
Yu Dong was speechless, she didn't think that Fang Chi would actually send her to catch the carp in this season but there was nothing that she could do at the moment, so after she left Xiao Hua in the extra room next to Fang Chi—— she walked out of the house with a net and a bucket, all set to catch the damned carp that her husband wanted, now she understood all the troubles that her colleagues went through.
Those poor men used to complain about how their wives wanted to eat this and that in the apocalypse and yet Yu Dong thought that they were over exaggerating but now that she was facing the same situation, she realised that the men too went through a lot despite not carrying the child in their bellies.
Never again will she look down on the men ever again.
Rubbing her temples she walked toward the sea while she was headed there, she could see that a few mers were heading towards the mountain, now that the rainy season was here the mountains had a lot of wild vegetables that could be harvested and used in cooking. She nodded to a few of them while she walked to the shore where the village faced the ocean but as soon as she'd stepped on the sandy shores her feet paused and her face went throw a drastic change, the bucket dropping from her hand.
She immediately turned around and rushed back home without caring about how she looked to others.
The villagers indeed saw Yu Dong running from the shore towards her house with a solemn expression, a few wanted to stop her and ask why she was running like her life depended on it but Yu Dong passed by them before they could ask anything.
" What's the matter with her?" One of the women returning from the fields for lunch looked at Yu Dong and asked, " Is there any need for her to run like that? She is making me nervous?"
" Maybe she had a big catch but forgot the bucket at home look she is carrying only the net, not the bucket," the woman next to her replied.
" That would explain why she was running back home like that."
" You are back?" Fang Chi was knitting sweaters when he saw Yu Dong rush back home but his smile stiffened when he saw the expression on Yu Dong's face. " What's the matter?"
"The …Ocean …." Yu Dong huffed as she strolled inside the house and shouted for the mammies standing outside the house. " Mammy Xing calls the other two mammies, right now, it's urgent."
Fang Chi was bewildered by her actions, she just went to catch some carps why in the world was she calling the sturdy mammies? Did she get caught in a fight or something of the sort?
" Is everything all right?" He asked but Yu Dong who had sensed a great danger coming their way was in not the correct state of the mind to reply to him. She was panicked, scared and most importantly worried for Fang Chi and her unborn child, the danger that was coming their way was something that she couldn't deal with, and in that situation, no place would be safe for her husband and unborn child, she needed to build a hideout and save as much food as she could … lest the trouble knocked on their doors.
" Miss Yu, you called us?" Mammy Xing with the two mammies who were responsible for protecting the house immediately rushed in upon hearing Yu Dong's shout. " What happened, oh dear ..you look like you have seen a ghost. Did someone threaten you?"
" Never mind that," Yu Dong waved her hands, there were a lot more important things for her to think of than someone threatening her. " Listen to me carefully you three, hurry to the town… it doesn't matter how much extra copper coins you have to pay, run to the town at once…once you are there, ask Gu Ke Xin to take out as much money as she can at the moment except saving some for emergency funds and buy rations as much as you can and lock it in the safe bunker that I have secretly built, you know where it is right?"
" We know," replied Mammy Xing though she didn't understand why Yu Dong was asking them to buy ration, she immediately agreed.
" And one more thing, go and get me three to four carts full of barrels, in fact, get me as many as you can, it doesn't matter, all right and once you are done, ask Gu Ke Xin to bring her family to the village. And if she has trouble staying in the village, she can go where ever she thinks she will be safe from the flood."
" Flood?" Mammy Xing felt her head swoon as she heard her boss even Fang Chi was startled as he hurriedly placed his hands on his abdomen. " Will there be a flood?"
Yu Dong turned to look at him and caught glimpse of him clutching his belly. She raised her arm and wrapped it around his waist, " I will do everything in my power to keep you two safe."
She couldn't say that she would be able to protect everyone but the least she could do was to take care of her husband and children. Turning to look at the three mammies she added, " Make sure that you three bring everything that I asked you, as soon as you can, all right ?"
The three mammies nodded, though neither of them was married, they were startled to hear that there will be a flood incoming—— thus they fled the house as if they had wheels attached to their feet while Yu Dong turned to look at Fang Chi and placed her hands on his shoulders when she saw how tensed he was, " Hey, you trust me right?"
Fang Chi raised his head and nodded, of course, he trusted his wife the most. " I do."
" Then don't worry, I might not be able to protect everything that we have but …" she placed her hand on his belly and said, " I will surely protect you and our child."
Ps: I had a nerve throbbing in the back of my head and I would get dizzy while writing, it took a few scans and medicines for me to sit up straight and I am sorry for not being regular. I still have some scans left but I am not in danger. Please keep supporting this book, I will work hard from now on.
