326: Each person chooses two to sleep with

At six in the evening, Wu Dayong came to the brick house to pick up Jiang Fei and the others.

Before leaving, Jiang Fei returned to her room and took out a backpack, filling it with four aged bottles of moutai.

She felt that Sister Lu enjoyed drinking, so she decided to give her a few bottles as a gift.

After taking an anti-hangover pill just in case, Jiang Fei slung her backpack on and went downstairs.

The evening breeze was cool and comfortable, so Jiang Fei didn't drive, choosing to walk with Wu Dayong to the dining location.

Su Liuyuan's injuries had fully healed, and he was responsible for pushing Lu Yu, who was in a wheelchair.

Tender green grass and flower buds were visible everywhere along the roadside, swaying gently in the wind.

Their vibrant appearance formed a stark contrast to yesterday's icy, snowy landscape.

It was as if the blizzard had been a dream for everyone.

Xiao Chuxia suggested, "Miss, tomorrow is summer, and many wild vegetables will grow. We can go dig some then."

"Ferns, purslane, dandelions—they all have medicinal value. Maybe we can even find some wild herbs."

"If you want herbs, you can go dig them in the back mountains," Wu Dayong told them.

"A few days ago, when plants started growing, some survivors discovered many wild herbs in the back mountains—so many they couldn't even dig them all."

"Sister Lu said that whoever wants herbs can go dig them themselves."

Jiang Fei said, "Then we'll go take a look at the back mountains tomorrow."

It was time to plant some new medicinal herbs in her herb garden.

As they spoke, Jiang Fei and the others arrived at the Black Night Gang's mess hall.

It was a large factory building that had been converted.

Jiang Fei and Xiao Chuxia had been to the mess hall once before, but they had gone straight to the kitchen without looking closely.

Only today did they realize that the mess hall was actually equipped with air conditioning.

There were a total of 100 long tables, each seating 6 to 8 people.

Dishes and alcohol were already set out on the tables, all standard two meat and two vegetable dishes, with two bottles of foreign liquor.

There was a wild vegetable medley, cold mixed grass roots, potato slices stir-fried with ham sausage and luncheon meat, and minced pork with sauce.

The presentation was ordinary, but in the apocalypse, it was a rare delicacy.

More than half of the Black Night Gang's survivors had arrived; the rest had patrol duties and couldn't come to eat, so the kitchen saved a meal for them.

After their shifts ended tomorrow morning, they could come to the mess hall to eat.

Everyone chatted and laughed.

No one secretly ate, though they occasionally looked at the food and swallowed.

Sister Lu hadn't arrived yet, so they couldn't start eating.

Unlike the survivors outside, these people could eat two filling meals a day, and Sister Lu even improved their meals once a week.

Sister Lu provided food and lodging and was so good to them, so they had to follow the rules.

Mo Yanan, Han Yang, Mu Qingzhou, You Yuxi, You Chengyu, Mother You, and Father Mo were also present.

Seeing Lu Yu in a wheelchair and Ling Zhaorui's arm brace, all six of them, except Mother You, were stunned.

Mo Yanan asked, "Sister Jiang Fei, how did they get so seriously injured?"

"They accidentally fell into a pit."

Jiang Fei didn't explain much, turning to Mother You, who was blowing air into the sky, and asked You Chengyu:

"Has Aunt You had any episodes these past two days?"

"No," You Chengyu said excitedly, "Ever since my mother drank the medicine you gave her, her emotions have been very stable every day. I no longer have to tie her up when I'm working."

"Yu Xi also has a job, cleaning with me in the mess hall."

Jiang Fei said, "Tell me when you run out of medicine. I still have some."

At this moment, Father Mo walked up to Jiang Fei and whispered:

"The gold in the open-pit gold mine, was it taken by you and Lu Yu?"

He had returned to the mine to patrol that day, only to find the gold inside was gone.

During that time, only Jiang Fei and Lu Yu had been there.

It was easy to guess who the thief was.

Jiang Fei feigned ignorance: "What gold?"

Father Mo wore an expression of "I see through you but won't say it," and deliberately sighed, revealing the information to Jiang Fei:

"The gold mine I was guarding was stolen a few days ago. I don't know who did it. I reported this to Sister Lu, but she didn't care, saying gold isn't important."

"She was afraid I'd be in danger if I went back to the mine, so she even gave me a new job, having me clean the roads for the Black Night Gang."

The implication was that Sister Lu would not investigate the missing gold.

Although he didn't know how Jiang Fei and Lu Yu had taken so much gold, one had to be sensible and not ask what shouldn't be asked.

Jiang Fei, in turn, felt relieved.

Otherwise, if Sister Lu investigated and traced it back to her, it would be quite awkward.

Next time she stole from a gold mine, she definitely had to first check if there were any acquaintances involved.

Suddenly, a shout rang out.

"Miss Jiang!"

Sister Ma walked over with seven or eight women, introducing Jiang Fei to them:

"This is Jiang Fei, Miss Jiang, the person who saved us that night at the Fengquan City Base."

Then, she said to Jiang Fei, "Benefactor, they, like Sister Lu and me, were imprisoned survivors. They heard you came to the Black Night Gang and wanted to thank you in person."

Of the more than twenty people back then, less than half remained now.

The women bowed to Jiang Fei.

"Miss Jiang, thank you for giving us a new life."

"If it weren't for you and your friends, we would now be wandering spirits."

"If you have anything you need done, just tell us. Murder, arson, robbery—we're good at all of it."

The women chattered, their words of thanks turning into casual conversation.

Coupled with the garrulous trio of Su Liuyuan, Xiao Chuxia, and Ling Zhaorui nearby, who, excited to finally see Han Yang, were enthusiastically sharing their experiences of drifting at sea.

Jiang Fei felt like she had fallen into a fly's nest.

A buzzing group here, another buzzing group there.

Fortunately, a few minutes later, Sister Lu arrived, announced dinner, and called Jiang Fei over.

"Sister Jiang, bring your friends and come sit by me."

Benefactor!

Jiang Fei, Lu Yu, and the others went over and sat at Sister Lu's table.

She took the four bottles of alcohol out of her backpack.

"Sister Lu, these are my gifts for you."

"I invited you to eat, why did you bring things... moutai?!"

Sister Lu picked up one of the moutai bottles in surprise, smiling from ear to ear:

"I've been craving this for a long time, but unfortunately, all the alcohol I could find in Mos City was whiskey, vodka, or stout, which I'm not used to."

"Sister Jiang, I won't be polite. I'll accept these bottles of alcohol."

"I've also prepared a gift for you."

Sister Lu clapped her hands.

Six strong young men emerged from the crowd and stood in a line before the table.

All were under 25, handsome, with no sun-induced red spots or bumps on their skin.

"Show them."

At Sister Lu's command, the six young men swiftly took off their short-sleeved shirts, revealing their muscular upper bodies.

Their muscle lines were taut and smooth, each possessing an eight-pack.

"These six are the best-looking and best-built men in the Black Night Gang, guaranteed healthy, clean, and disease-free."

"Sister Jiang, Sister Xiao, each of you pick two, and let them accompany you to sleep tonight."

Jiang Fei & Xiao Chuxia: "!!!"

Lu Yu's face darkened.

"That's really not necessary, Sister Lu. We don't need anyone to accompany us to sleep."

Jiang Fei directly refused the offer, sweating for the first time.

Sister Lu's gift was too shocking.

Xiao Chuxia also firmly refused.

It wasn't that she didn't like abs; it was that she didn't like abs without feelings.

Seeing that neither of them wanted any, Sister Lu was a little disappointed.

Soon, she understood.

The two young women were still young and might not have experienced such things.

Besides, choosing men in front of everyone might make them uncomfortable.

Sister Lu looked at Xiao Chuxia's tomato-red face and increasingly felt that she had been inconsiderate.

Choosing men should be done discreetly.

Thinking this, Sister Lu raised her hand, called Sister Ma over, and whispered a few words.

In a moment, Sister Ma left with two young men.

Unaware that Sister Lu had quietly made arrangements, Jiang Fei simply regarded this as a minor interlude and continued eating and drinking.

She didn't notice that Lu Yu next to her was staring at the young men putting their shirts back on opposite them.

His hand, hanging at his side, unconsciously touched his abdomen.

His physique was better than theirs.

—

Having finally met their Benefactor, Sister Lu led her sisters in toasting Jiang Fei.

Lu Yu, Su Liuyuan, and Ling Zhaorui were currently taking anti-inflammatory medication and couldn't drink alcohol.

Xiao Chuxia's alcohol tolerance was average; after two glasses of red wine, she was a bit tipsy.

So, everyone else came to toast Jiang Fei.

It was a rare lively occasion, and Jiang Fei accepted every toast, drinking glass after glass.

However, when pouring the Nth glass of wine, Jiang Fei had just taken a sip when she felt something was off.

She pursed her lips, tasting the wine.

Why had the wine's flavor become diluted?
