Qin Ren returned to his hometown to recover from an injury, but on the very night he arrived, he caught a young thief in his old house.
The thief was dressed in ancient clothes, spoke an unfa...
Chapter 7 Compared to food, Qin Ren planned to save...
Because he was still unclear about the specific situation with the thief, Qin Ren didn't dare to buy too much instant noodles or other food.
Qin Ren planned to save the money for meat and medicine rather than food.
The meat was bought to help him improve his health.
Health is the foundation of everything; without good health, it's impossible to make money.
The medicine was meant to be taken to the petty thieves to be sold.
The thief's world is in ancient times. Medical conditions in ancient times were always very poor. Sometimes, even a minor cold could take a person's life.
In ancient times, during periods of chaos, it was probably impossible to find a doctor. Many people were injured or fell ill, but even if they had money, they couldn't get treatment.
If Qin Ren were to take the medicine and sell it now, he believed it would sell very well.
Qin Ren moved all the things he bought from the supermarket to the old man's car.
He went to the slaughterhouse to buy meat. He bought a total of 100 jin of meat: 50 jin of pork, 20 jin of mutton, and 30 jin of beef.
As the weather gets colder, it's good for his health to eat more lamb and beef.
After that, he went to the pharmacy to buy medicine, mainly fever reducers, cold medicine, painkillers, antidiarrheal medicine, and anti-inflammatory drugs.
Knowing that the situation there was chaotic and many people must be injured, Qin Ren also bought some disinfectant, bandages, and plasters.
These medicines can be bought in their town without a prescription. In addition, Qin Ren had been in a car accident and was injured, so the pharmacy staff wouldn't ask any questions if he bought more medicine than usual.
Qin Ren returned home with a car full of things, but before he could even unload them, Chen Yangxuan arrived at his house on his electric scooter.
As soon as Chen Yangxuan got out of the car, he started helping him move his things.
"Wow, you bought so much meat! Can you eat it all by yourself?"
"I'm lazy, and since I happen to have a freezer at home, I bought more meat."
Qin Ren originally bought his grandfather a refrigerator, but later that refrigerator broke down, so his grandfather replaced it with a freezer.
Grandpa doesn't use the refrigerator's preservation function much; he mostly uses it to freeze meat. So when he was replacing it himself, he simply replaced the entire freezer.
The freezer compartment is large enough to freeze a lot of things. Even if Qin Ren buys a lot of meat, there's still room for it.
"I'll do these heavy tasks. You're injured now, so you need to rest more."
Qin Ren didn't stand on ceremony when he heard this. Back in junior high, Qin Ren had helped him fight, and he even got stabbed by a thug for his sake.
It was precisely because of this bond that Chen Yangxuan often helped Qin Ren take care of his grandfather after Qin Ren went away to school.
When Chen Yangxuan said he wanted to lend Qin Ren money at the supermarket, he wasn't just being polite.
As long as Qin Ren asks him for a loan, he will transfer the money to him immediately.
As for why Qin Ren didn't speak up, why didn't he just transfer the money directly?
It's not that he's not a good brother, it's just that he's married now, and his wife controls all his money.
He usually struggles to even buy a pack of cigarettes, so if he were to actually transfer money to Qin Ren, his wife would definitely nag him again.
He was still a little afraid of his wife, so he really didn't dare to turn it away unless absolutely necessary.
However, he didn't dare to transfer money directly to Qin Ren, but he could bring Qin Ren some good food.
He came here to deliver something.
He brought two fish and a chicken.
The fish came from his father-in-law's fishpond, and the chickens were raised by his family.
He had already killed the fish and chicken before he came over.
Chen Yangxuan helped tidy up everything, left the fish and chicken behind, and left immediately.
He and Qin Ren were close, and neither of them were overly polite.
Too much formality between friends will gradually lead to estrangement.
After watching Chen Yangxuan leave, Qin Ren made himself a simple lunch.
After he had eaten and drunk his fill, he took twenty eggs to Yang Dan'e's house.
Yesterday, Yang Dan'e brought over a dozen eggs, and today Qin Ren turned around and brought over twenty.
It's not that Qin Ren is stingy, but rather that there are some subtleties involved.
Now everyone in the village knows what's going on with Qin Ren's family.
Qin Ren has also been in a car accident. If he sends back too many eggs, Yang Dan'e's family definitely won't accept them.
So he sends a smaller amount so the other party can't refuse too forcefully. Besides, they're neighbors, and only through reciprocal exchanges can things last.
When Qin Ren returned after delivering the eggs, he had a handful of red dates in his hand, which Yang Dan'e had given him when he left.
The other party thought that red dates were good for replenishing blood and asked him to take them home to make soup.
After Qin Ren returned, he first put the red dates in the kitchen and then began to prepare for the time travel.
Because he was still unsure of the situation on the other side, he didn't bring much with him this time.
He brought five packs of instant noodles, five sausages, a packet of salt, a packet of sugar, a bottle of fever reducer, a box of cold and flu medicine, a bottle of painkillers, a box of anti-inflammatory drugs, two rolls of gauze, a bottle of disinfectant, and a pack of cotton swabs.
After packing everything up, Qin Ren also brought a smartwatch, a lighter, a rope, a stun gun, and a fruit knife.
He didn't bring his phone with him, as there was no signal there, and the phone was only useful for lighting and taking pictures.
His watch also has a light function. Since he doesn't plan to stay overnight there, there's no need for him to bring his phone.
After taking everything he needed, Qin Ren took the key and entered the passage behind the bronze door.
It was four o'clock in the afternoon. Qin Ren's main purpose in coming here was not to make money, but to take a good look at this other world.
Then when he got to the door on the other side, he found that the door on the other side was a little different.
It wasn't the door he had used to deliver the thief, but a new door that looked somewhat unfamiliar.
It seems that without his knowledge, the thief had changed the location of his travels.
Qin Ren wasn't angry about this, after all, the passage didn't belong entirely to him, and he couldn't demand that the thief not use the key.
Therefore, Qin Ren became much more cautious than before when he saw that the door had changed.
After all, the other side was in a different location; it was no longer the temple he was familiar with.
If there are bad guys hiding on the other side, it would be very dangerous for him to go out so brazenly.
Then, just as Qin Ren carefully pushed open a crack in the door, intending to observe the situation outside, he heard a familiar voice.
When the door was closed, he couldn't hear anything outside because he wasn't yet in the other dimension. But once he opened the door, he could hear what was happening outside.
The screams came from the thief; his voice sounded both terrified and panicked.
As soon as Qin Ren heard his voice, he immediately pushed open the door in front of him.
He was indeed very anxious and worried about the thief's current situation, but he couldn't panic. He had to stay calm, especially in situations like this.
He looked out from inside the passage and saw two ragged men with their backs to him, about to drag the struggling thief away.
The thief was injured; there was blood on his cheek and a red mark on his wrist.
Seeing this, Qin Ren silently moved closer, and the struggling thief quickly noticed him.
However, he dared not look at Qin Ren for even a moment, fearing that if he did, Qin Ren's sneak attack would fail.
Qin Ren saw that he was clever enough not to reveal his presence and even smiled at him.
Seeing that he was still in the mood to smile, Liu Qingyue's almost desperate emotions suddenly calmed down for some reason.
It's strange, considering they've only known each other for a short time.
The two hadn't even exchanged names, but he felt the other was incredibly capable.
Even if the opponent were facing two men, he felt that the opponent could easily win.
As if to confirm his idea, Qin Ren easily knocked down a man with a stun gun in the next instant.
Seeing the man fall to the ground with a thud, his companion immediately turned around, weapons raised.
Then...then he fell to the ground with a look of terror on his face, just like the other man.
Seeing that both men had fallen, Qin Ren turned off the stun gun and asked the thief, "Are you alright?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Qingyue wanted to say that he was alright, but when he saw Qin Ren lean down to look at him, he couldn't help but start sobbing.
Qin Ren felt a headache whenever he saw him cry, and at the same time, he regretted letting him leave alone.
Sigh, he's still a child, so young, and so fair-skinned, he's definitely prone to encountering perverts.
Qin Ren didn't immediately try to appease them; instead, he first tied up the two dirty-looking guys.
He had never used a stun gun on anyone and didn't know when they would wake up.
Seeing that they had fainted, it would be best to tie them up first.
