No Need to Panic During Famine, I Have an Immortal Mountain Secret Realm

Alchemy genius Sang Jin was forced to her death by various sects after her master ascended. She was reborn on another unfamiliar continent.

During a year of disaster and famine, she became th...

Chapter 44 The Grass-Gathering Thief

Didn't your master teach me that before? To capture a woman's heart, you must first capture her stomach. Did I do it wrong again? Li Jingyu muttered to himself.

Sang Jin put the extra snacks into her space, then opened a random package and started eating. This is red bean cake.

She suddenly remembered that her mother and elder brother in this life had never eaten snacks like this. She should bring some back later.

"The cloth is on sale at a low price. Don't miss it if you're passing by. It's only 50% off." A middle-aged woman shouted at the door of the store.

Despite this, many people looked at it, but no one bought it. They would rather spend more money to buy more rice.

"Boss, why are your cloths so cheap?" Sang Jin was puzzled. The prices of rice and oil were rising.

"Little girl, where is your father?" the proprietress asked kindly.

"This is my cousin. He brought me out." Sang Jin pointed at Li Jingyu next to her.

"Oh, that's it. Come here, I'll tell you in a low voice." The proprietress walked to Li Jingyu and whispered to him.

Sang Jin was puzzled. Did she look so unreliable? The boss lady didn't tell her anything, only Li Jingyu. Even so, it didn't delay Sang Jin's selection of fabrics.

"Boss, please pack these ten pieces of cotton and these twenty pieces of silk for me. Also help me get two sets of needles and threads." Sang Jin thought that her grandma would have something to do again, hehe...

"Ah Qiu——" Old Mrs. Zhuang, who was changing her grandson's diaper, sneezed.

In order to enrich the taste of the dishes, Sang Jin even bought some seasonings.

Even if you are fleeing famine, you should try your best to improve the quality of your life.

She is a person who knows how to enjoy life. Living is about being nice to yourself.

"Okay! You should take a look at the ready-made clothes. Our clothes are all well-made. I'll give you a 50% discount." The proprietress said with a smile.

"Then pack it all up. I'll also need three pairs of shoes in these sizes. I only want thicker clothes. If there's cotton, I'll need two hundred kilograms." Shoes are the most expensive when hiking long distances. It's necessary to buy a few more pairs of shoes for the family.

Next month will be October, and the weather will gradually get colder. My family has no warm clothing at all, so if we can find cotton, we should buy as much as possible.

"This cotton is expensive, so I can't give you a 50% discount. I'd lose a lot of money. If you want, miss, how about I give you a ready-made quilt cover?" the proprietress said. In business, no one wants to lose money. She had found a big customer this time.

"All right." Sang Jin didn't bother to bargain. She could spend the money in her space freely. Coming to the mortal world, she was already wealthy. (Author: You're not poor in the immortal world either.)

"Hehe, what did the boss lady say to you just now? Tell me about it." Sang Jin was no less good at asking about gossip than her second aunt Fang.

"It's nothing. She said that handsome young men disappear here every day. She told us to buy things and leave quickly. Her family wants to sell this batch of goods and then go to Beijing to develop." Li Jingyu said calmly.

"Catch the handsome little brother, why don't you wear a hat when going shopping?" Sang Jin joked.

"I'm not afraid of that coward! Let's go and see if there's anything else we need to buy." Li Jingyu continued to act as Sang Jin's bodyguard.

This scene was seen by a man in black hiding in the corner. He slowly retreated until he disappeared.

"It's getting late, we should go back early. I'm afraid mother and the others will worry." Sang Jin bought some small medicine bottles, bowls and chopsticks, spoons and plates from a porcelain shop.

Life is never simple. It may seem ordinary, but it is actually complicated.

For some people, the peace and happiness we enjoy as a family is a luxury, such as Sang Daya, who was once the daughter of a blacksmith.

"Okay." Li Jingyu turned around, ready to carry Sang Jin out of the city. Suddenly, his vision went black and he lost consciousness.

Sang Jin looked at Li Jingyue who suddenly disappeared in front of her and had not yet reacted. How could the hand that had just been hugging her shoulders suddenly disappear?

"Here comes the grass-picking thief! Run if you have children at home!" The owner of the porcelain shop was also shocked by the scene. This was also the first time he had witnessed a living person suddenly disappear from his sight.

"The grass-picking thief?" Where was Sang Jin supposed to find this guy? Li Jingyu had reached the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm, so this grass-picking thief must be quite high, perhaps even at the same level. Otherwise, he would have spotted him long ago.

Without Li Jingyue's tightly closed city gate, once she went out, she would never be able to come back in.

The elder of the Yan family waited on the city gate tower for several hours but never saw anyone who could tear open his barrier.

He guessed that since this man was able to tear open his barrier, and now that he had repaired it, he would definitely tear it open again when he left the city.

But he didn't expect that maybe this person wouldn't leave the city today? This person's ideas are too simple when he gets old.

Old Yan returned to the City Lord's Mansion and sensed the presence of a master in the mansion.

Sang Jin thought and thought, but she didn't know how to start looking for someone. She simply found a restaurant, ordered a table of dishes, and savored them slowly, not at all like the untidy eating habits she had at the Sang family.

Since she couldn't find him, she let him find her himself. Sang Jin believed that Li Jingyu would find a way to contact her.

When Zi Shufen saw that her daughter had not returned yet so late, she knew that she might not come back tonight.

The people in Zhoujia Village built a bonfire here and each family started cooking.

When Li Jingyu woke up, he found himself in a closed room, lying on a wooden bed.

His hands and feet were tied up in a spread-eagle position, which really looked like a fish on a chopping board waiting to be slaughtered.

He tried to break the ropes free, but there was no response. Instead, the more he twisted, the tighter they became. Li Jingyu's wrists and ankles were covered in red marks.

"You can't break free from this rope. This is a magic weapon. It's specially used to lock up immortal cultivators like you." A male voice came, but Li Jingyu didn't see anyone.

"Don't look at me anymore. You can't see me unless I let you see me." The person who spoke was very arrogant.

It was as if everything was under his control. Li Jingyu hated being controlled the most in his life.

The man appeared, standing beside the bed, looking down at him: "Now that you're awake, do you want to eat something? Otherwise, if you don't have the energy to spoil the master's mood later, I'll be punished again. Oops, I forgot you're a cultivator and don't have to eat."

"Are you done? If you are, untie me immediately. Otherwise, you will bear the consequences." Li Jingyu said coldly.
