Chapter 380 Chapter 382

Ning Qingyun looked at his daughter lovingly and said, "Then give it to Daddy, okay?" Ning Qingyun thought that there were some compressed biscuits in his gem space for emergency use. If the child didn't like to eat this, he wouldn't force her and would give her the biscuits later.

"Dad doesn't want to eat either. Give it to uncle." Xuanxuan grabbed the bowl in front of her and pushed it in front of Qi Sanbing who was sitting next to them.

"No, no, thank you, Xuanxuan, uncle has some here, yes." Qi Sanbing was a little flattered and quickly declined.

"Dad, eat this." Xuanxuan rummaged through the small backpack she carried on her back and took out a bag of bright red meat strips wrapped in a sealed bag.

This is the snack that Rong Xianxian made for Xuanxuan and Xiaoluo. Children occasionally have irregular meals, and they get hungry quickly when they are growing, so Rong Xianxian specially prepared snacks for them. The meat strips are steamed and then air-dried, but not completely air-dried. The meat strips must maintain a certain humidity and have a soft and chewy texture. Before steaming, Rong Xianxian processed it with a secret sauce. The meat strips are slightly sweet and fragrant, not greasy or dry, and have a unique flavor.

Xuanxuan took out a strip of meat and passed it to Ning Qingyun. In order to save effort, each strip of meat was quite filling. Seeing Qi Sanbing and the others looking at this side eagerly, Ning Qingyun touched Xuanxuan's head and said, "Xuanxuan, can you share some with the uncles and aunts?"

"Okay." Xuanxuan obediently gave one to each of Qi Sanbing and the others.

Just looking at the attractive bright red color and the soft and elastic texture, Qi Sanbing and others found it hard to refuse.

Each person was given a piece of dried meat, and only half of the originally full bag was left. Xuanxuan was afraid that her father would not have enough to eat, so she took out two tea-leaf wild duck eggs, a box of sealed French fries, a bag of pork jerky produced before the end of the world, a bar of chocolate, and five or six flattened rice balls from her schoolbag.

Xuanxuan specifically asked for rice balls and wild duck eggs. He Wen put a pot of water on the stove, heated up the wild duck eggs and rice balls, and gave them to her.

Eggs, milk and white rice, which were the most common foods on people’s tables before the end of the world, have become very expensive foods that only the top upper class people can afford.

After all, in this world, when people are running for their lives, who would care about poultry and livestock? The poultry and livestock that survived are very rare, and some of them have even mutated. As for planting, the harvesting cycle is too long, and the cost is much higher than hunting and gathering. What's more, it is freezing cold now, and the price of rice and flour is more expensive than before.

Qi Sanbing watched Xuanxuan bite open a rice ball, "Dad, this is meat floss, I don't like it, can you eat it?"

Seeing Xuanxuan's bitter face, Ning Qingyun quickly took the rice ball and took a big bite. "It's so delicious? Why doesn't Xuanxuan like it?"

"Because Xuanxuan wants to give it to daddy! Haha, is it delicious?" Xuanxuan happily watched Ning Qingyun finish the whole rice ball.

"It's delicious." Ning Qingyun smiled happily.

"I really want a daughter as obedient and lovely as this." After He Wen finished eating the strips of meat, she couldn't finish the soft and unique-smelling jerky in the bowl.

"Bang, bang" there was a knock on the door.

Ning Qingyun's hand trembled and the thing in his hand almost fell to the ground.

"Xuanxuan, your mother is waiting for you to come home for dinner." It was Cui Lie's voice.

"Dad, I have to go find Mom." Xuanxuan looked at Ning Qingyun reluctantly.

"Okay, Xuanxuan, be good. Daddy will take you home, okay?" Ning Qingyun whispered to Xuanxuan. He originally wanted to wait until Huo Ye and the others came back before going to see Xianxian. But now he couldn't help it. He wanted to go and ask what happened to Xianxian.

The verdict must be read out before beheading. Even if he did something wrong, he should be given a chance to correct it.

Ning Qingyun carried Xuanxuan out and refused to hand her over to Cui Lie, insisting on sending Xuanxuan back personally.

"Sister Rong doesn't want to see you. Her attitude was very clear yesterday." Cui Lie said with a frown.

"I am Xuanxuan's father and her husband. What happens between her and me is a family matter. What does it have to do with you?" Ning Qingyun looked at Cui Lie. There was an inexplicable hostility in his heart. He couldn't help but look at Cui Lie provocatively.

There was fighting intent in the eyes of both men. Just when a war seemed to be about to break out, Xuanxuan softly said, "Dad, I promised Mom that I would go back by myself. Can you find time to come and see me?"

Xuanxuan keenly felt that it was not a good idea for her father to fight with Uncle Cui at this time.

"Okay." Ning Qingyun immediately lost his temper when he heard Xuanxuan's voice.

Ning Qingyun reluctantly handed Xuanxuan to Cui Lie, and watched Cui Lie walk away with Xuanxuan in his arms.

Ning Qingyun stood there for a long time until Qi Sanbing came to him.

"How is it? Have you found out? Where do they live?" Ning Qingyun knew that someone would come to pick up the children this morning. According to the map that Qi Sanbing and others had drawn when they were tracking Rong Xianxian, they had already sent people to ambush in batches near the map in order to find out where Rong Xianxian lived now.

"Golden Eagle Garden." Qi Sanbing said with certainty.

"Go there and rent a house immediately, preferably near Xianxian." Ning Qingyun said anxiously.

Qi Sanbing stood there with an embarrassed expression on his face.

"Why don't you go?" Ning Qingyun laughed angrily. Is this man's head made of a block of wood? Is this the person that Huo Ye and Chai Ming brought out?

"Boss, we are short of funds. The houses in Golden Eagle Garden are extremely expensive. We have already spent most of our family savings to rent this yard. Now we simply don't have the money to rent a house in Golden Eagle Garden anymore." Qi Sanbing said somewhat embarrassedly.

They had brought enough funds when they left Beijing, just to rush to Jindu, find their wives, and rent a house like this with its own entrance and courtyard. In addition, they went out less frequently after the snowfall and gained little, so now they are almost penniless.

"I..." Ning Qingyun almost blurted out the word "I", fortunately, he stopped as soon as he said the word "I". Some of the treasures in his space were brought out from the secret realm. Any one of them was of inestimable value, but these things were prepared for Xianxian. Each one of them was something she might like. He wanted to give these things to her and could not sell them.

All the monster materials hunted along the way are with Huo Ye and the others. There are also a few monster corpses in Ning Qingyun's space, which are prepared to be exchanged for points to buy some medicine to support Huo Ye and the others.

"I understand. Let's wait until we pick up Huo Ye. Now go buy some medicine, then gather the people and prepare the equipment for going out, and get ready to leave the city." Ning Qingyun waved his hand, and Qi Sanbing took the order and left.
