Miss Yu Decides To Change Her Fate After Being Reborn! - Chapter 238
238 Delivering Food
When Jiang Chun saw that Yu Bing had yet to leave after eating, she guessed that she wanted to help wash the dishes after she finished eating, so she immediately said, “I’ll wash them after eating later. Go do your work.”
Seeing that Jiang Chun was eating very slowly tonight, Yu Bing asked worriedly, “Jiang Chun, are you feeling unwell today?”
Jiang Chun immediately denied it. “I’m fine. Do I look sick to you?”
Yu Bing studied Jiang Chun carefully and shook her head.
Jiang Chun knew that if she answered a few more questions, she would probably be exposed. Thinking of Yu Bing’s visit to the county city this morning, she immediately changed the topic. “Where did you and Xiao Sheng go this morning?”
!!
Yu Bing thought of her book and slapped her thigh. “I haven’t retrieved my books yet! I went to buy books today. I have to go to the Xiao family’s house later.”
Yu Bing thought that she might as well take this opportunity to mention the matter to Jiang Chun, so she leaned closer to Jiang Chun and said secretively, “When I went to the city previously, I overheard a leader say that the college entrance examination might resume next year, so I specifically went to look for old high school textbooks today. Since I found out, I have to make preparations in advance!”
When Jiang Chun heard this, she looked out the door warily before asking in surprise, “The college entrance examinations are really resuming?”
Yu Bing nodded firmly.
Jiang Chun revealed a happy smile, but then she froze and said, “Sigh, wasn’t there a similar rumor a few years ago? There was no follow-up after that. I don’t think we should get our hopes up.”
When Yu Bing heard this, her eyes darted around and she said, “Things are different this time. This time, a very high-ranking leader said it. Although I can’t tell you who I heard it from, I can guarantee that it’s definitely true!”
Jiang Chun knew that Yu Bing wasn’t someone who believed in hearsay. If she wasn’t 100% confident, she wouldn’t be so certain, so Jiang Chun believed her.
Seeing Jiang Chun’s trusting expression, Yu Bing continued, “I’ll get the books later and teach Xiao Li. When I come back, we’ll study together!”
When Jiang Chun heard this, she immediately replied, “Don’t wait anymore. Go now. Give Xiao Li more lessons. I’ll do the dishes.”
Jiang Chun had to hurry up. Otherwise, if Yu Bing didn’t see her when she returned, she would have to continue making up excuses.
When Yu Bing heard this, she stood up and went to the Xiao family’s house.
As soon as Jiang Chun left, she divided the side of the lunch box she had eaten with clean chopsticks and finished her portion. She picked out the remaining vegetables and took out five eggs from her lunch box. Then, she placed ten sweet potatoes in the pot and steamed them.
Ten minutes later, Jiang Chun took out a small bamboo basket and quickly placed the food in it before leaving the house.
Jiang Chun didn’t listen to Cui Jin, who said to place him at the entrance of the forest. Instead, she brought him to the deeper forest that she had accidentally entered previously. There was a very thin layer of miasma there. As long as one passed through it, the air further beyond it was normal.
In an ancient book she had found at home in the past, Jiang Chun had read that eating garlic and burning vermicelli could prevent one from being affected by the miasma.
Considering that Cui Jin had to hide his whereabouts, she specifically chose this place. With the natural barrier of miasma, ordinary people wouldn’t take the initiative to approach.
After Jiang Chun entered the mountain, she walked for half an hour and arrived at a dilapidated temple.
This ancient temple had probably been abandoned for decades. This was the place Jiang Chun discovered after passing through the miasma.
At this moment, the sun had completely set. In complete darkness, Jiang Chun hurriedly lit the kerosene lamp.
Cui Jin was hiding behind the temple door. Before Jiang Chun entered, she knocked twice and shouted, “It’s me!”
After greeting him, Jiang Chun pushed the door open. Through the dim yellow light, she could vaguely see Cui Jin’s figure and she walked over.
When Cui Jin, who was sitting on the ground, heard footsteps nearby, he took out his gun and assumed a defensive posture. After confirming that Jiang Chun was alone, Cui Jin relaxed.
After Jiang Chun placed the kerosene lamp on the ground, she took out the candles and matches from the basket. “These are for you to use as light. Use them sparingly. I’ll go to the county city to buy two more on my day off in a few days.”
