Chapter 158 - 158 Miss, You Can Try
158 Miss, You Can Try
With Lin Suisui on his back, Lu Ze naturally had no more problems along the way. The two of them quickly arrived outside the tent where the herbs and rations were placed.
Because this place was the most important place for the entire refugee camp, not only did Pei Qian arrange for people to set up a sturdy wooden fence around these three tents, but he also set up six sentries. He arranged for people to be on guard. Without his permission, no one was allowed to approach this place! Anyone who broke in would be killed!
Lin Suisui was allowed to enter because she needed to sort out the herbs in the next two days.
After that, Mrs. Luo and the others came in to get their things and went out to deal with the thin cotton cloth that was bandaged! So far, Lin Suisui was the only one who could enter and leave this place at will.
Lin Suisui glanced at the soldiers who were still standing guard as usual, then looked around. When she saw that there was nothing wrong, she heaved a sigh of relief. She got off Lu Ze’s back and quickly walked to the soldier guarding the fence door. She asked anxiously, “Has anyone else entered since I left here yesterday?!”
When the soldier heard Lin Suisui’s question, he thought about it seriously before looking up and shaking his head. He replied very honestly, “No.
Mr. Pei has instructed that other than you, Madam Liu, no one is allowed to take half a step in here!
Just now, doctors from the patrol camp brought herbs over and said that they wanted to put them in for storage. We didn’t let them in and only let them get Mr. Pei’s warrant first!
They haven’t retrieved it yet, so they haven’t been able to enter for the time being.”
“Are you sure that no second person has entered since I left yesterday?!” Lin Suisui looked at the soldier and asked again worriedly.
“I’m sure! I guarantee with my life that no one else has entered during this period of time!” Although the soldier didn’t know why Lin Suisui cared so much about this matter, he still raised his hand and patted his chest as he promised Lin Suisui.
Not only this soldier, but another soldier guarding the fence door with him also smiled and spoke up to testify for his companion. “Madam Liu, don’t worry. Ah Wen and I have been guarding here since this morning. Other than a few medical officers, no one else has come here!”
“That’s good.” Only then did Lin Suisui heave a sigh of relief. She turned to look at the other two tents that stored rations. After hesitating for a moment, she turned to the two soldiers and continued, “Can you arrange for someone to tell the people in charge of guarding the side to be more vigilant from now on? Before Mr. Pei arrives, no one can approach this place!”
Logically speaking, Lin Suisui was just a refugee, so no one would take her words seriously.
However, because she had treated the injured soldiers previously and the fact that Pei Qian valued her and Lu Ze, one of the two soldiers sent the message according to Lin Suisui’s instructions.
Lin Suisui and Lu Ze actually hadn’t arrived that early, but it was enough for them to make some arrangements in advance.
As expected, before she could catch her breath, she saw Zhu Qing walking over with more than ten soldiers carrying a few large baskets.
“Why are you here?!” Seeing Lin Suisui at the entrance of the fence, Zhu Qing couldn’t help but frown and snort unhappily. “You’re really persistent!”
“Then why are you here?!” Lin Suisui wasn’t angry about Zhu Qing’s rude provocation. Instead, she asked calmly, making it impossible to tell her mood.
“Of course I have something to do! We came over this time with a cart of useful herbs. These things can’t be stored outside now! If they get wet from the snow and lose their medicinal properties, that would be a huge waste!
I’ve been here once before!
However, the guard here said that if I wanted to enter, I have to get Mr. Pei’s permission! I’ve already reported to Mr. Pei just now. He has already agreed to let me send the herbs over. Hurry up and move aside!”
Zhu Qing raised her head, unable to hide the pride and smugness on her face. She had received the best education since she was young. How could this little country girl in front of her compare to her?!
“I’m afraid that won’t do!”
Lin Suisui ignored the smugness on Zhu Qing’s face. She stood quietly at the door and looked at Zhu Qing as she said firmly, “Mr. Pei will be here in a while. Before he comes here, none of you are allowed to enter this place. Otherwise, you will be killed!”
The commotion naturally attracted the patrolling soldiers at the side. When they heard Lin Suisui’s words, the patrolling soldiers chose to stand on Lin Suisui’s side without any hesitation. They drew their sabers and blocked the entrance. They stood opposite the patrolling soldiers Zhu Qing had brought, like they would attack at any moment!
“You dare to disobey Mr. Pei’s orders?!” Zhu Qing didn’t expect this country girl to be so bold as to stop her so brazenly!
“There’s no evidence. Since you said that it was Mr. Pei’s order, where’s Mr. Pei’s warrant?!” Lin Suisui still remembered what the soldier guarding the door had said previously.
If they wanted to enter, they had to show Pei Qian’s warrant!
“Mr. Pei only asked us to send these herbs in and put them away. We won’t stay inside for long. What kind of warrant do we need?!” Zhu Qing’s face was flushed with anger. She never expected this detail to ruin things for her!
She wasn’t lying. She had indeed seen Mr. Pei just now and obtained his permission to send these herbs in, but she didn’t ask for a warrant!
“Mr. Pei’s instructions are that anyone who enters has to get a warrant! No matter what they go in for, how long they go in for, this is the rule! If you can’t take out Mr. Pei’s warrant, why don’t you continue to wait patiently?! Anyway, Mr. Pei will come over in a while. When the time comes, it won’t be too late for you to send these herbs in!”
Lin Suisui’s attitude was calm. She looked at Zhu Qing in a neither servile nor overbearing manner, as if she was looking at an unreasonable child. “This is a critical period. Miss Zhu Qing, please understand and don’t make things too difficult for us!”
“Then what if I insist on sending the herbs in now? What can you do to me?!” Zhu Qing gritted her teeth and stared at Lin Suisui as she said word by word.
“Miss, you can try.” Lin Suisui took a step sideways and gave way to the fence door that she had been blocking tightly previously. She even made an inviting gesture.
