Chapter 5: Supplies to last for several lifetimes, and nine lives



There were a wide variety of goods on the shelves, and there were promotional signs on the overflowing rice cabinets, but the supermarket was empty except for her.

The supermarket near her home is quite big, and when she came there it was the end of April, and the supermarket was having a May Day promotion, so the warehouse was fully stocked with goods, including rice, flour, oil, fresh produce, department store snacks, cooked food, etc.

Ruan Qiqi picked up a box of blueberries and ate them while walking around. The supermarket has two floors. The first floor sells rice, flour, oil, seasonings, wine, beverages and home appliances, and the second floor sells fresh food, snacks and general merchandise.

The lights in the supermarket were on, and the freezers and cold storage were working. The cold storage and warehouse on the underground first floor were full of goods, and the space was kept at a constant temperature. The food would not spoil, and she would never be able to finish it in her lifetime.

Ruan Qiqi finished shopping in the supermarket with satisfaction. After she finished the blueberries in her hand, she took a box of strawberries and ate them. She also found a few sets of cotton underwear, washed them and hung them in the space so that she could wear them when they were dry.

Seeing the glass door of the supermarket, she had an idea and pushed it, and it actually opened.

Outside was a familiar street. Opposite the supermarket was her favorite Tea Salt Moonlight milk tea shop, as well as a bakery and a rice noodle shop. She liked to go to the rice noodle shop the most to eat rice noodles.

Ruan Qiqi walked along the entire street, becoming more and more excited. Yan Jun was so kind that he actually gave her the entire street where the supermarket was located.

Supermarkets, milk tea shops, rice noodle shops, fast food restaurants, bakeries, gas stations, community clinics, outdoor goods stores... and so on.

There are also four large pharmacies.

Ruan Qiqi also didn’t understand why there were four pharmacies on one street, and they were all next to each other. Would they have business?

What surprised her most was that there was a super large storage center at the end of the street, filled with all kinds of goods, and several cold storages storing various meats, vegetables and fruits.

The storage capacity of this warehouse is ten times that of a supermarket, which means that in this era, even if she does nothing, she can still have enough food and clothing.

There is a large vacant lot opposite the warehouse, which is overgrown with weeds. Ruan Qiqi plans to find some time to weed the ground and plant something. It would be a waste to leave such a large piece of land empty.

well!

Ruan Qiqi sighed again. She hated working the most. It would be great if she could find a helper.

Suddenly, a golden light rushed into her arms. Ruan Qiqi hugged it subconsciously. It was nine pills shining with golden light.

"The resurrection pill, as long as the heart meridian is not broken, you can be resurrected. Ruan Qiqi, I have completed what I promised you, live a good life!"

Lord Yan's stern voice echoed in the space.

"Where's my golden finger?"

Ruan Qiqi asked loudly, but Yan Jun ignored her.

She pouted and admired the resurrection pills happily. Nine pills meant she had nine lives!

Lord Yan is so generous, I really want to talk to him!

King Yama, who was hiding in the air, was so frightened that his body trembled. He immediately returned to the underworld in an instant and blocked all information about Ruan Qiqi. Out of sight, out of mind!

Ruan Qiqi left the space and found nine pills hidden in it. She could take out the things inside with her mind and put them back in. It was very convenient.

She yawned, went to close the window and prepare for sleep. Outside the window there was a tall ginkgo tree that had just sprouted tender green buds. The tree must be quite old, being about three stories high, with several branches reaching to the windowsill.

Ruan Qiqi lived on the second floor. There was a ginkgo branch sticking out from the windowsill of her room. She was puzzled because there seemed to be no ginkgo branch when she was hanging clothes just now.

She reached out her hand as if possessed by a ghost and grasped the ginkgo branch. In an instant, her brain seemed to be struck by an electric current, and she suddenly had an epiphany, as if God's window had been opened. Then a hurried voice came in, spoken very quickly in authentic Tanzhou dialect.

"Finally someone is here to talk to me, little girl, don't panic, I'm not a bad person, I just want to talk. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, no one has been here to talk to me, I'm almost suffocating..."

After listening for a few minutes, Ruan Qiqi was sure that the thing chattering in her mind was the ginkgo tree outside the window.

She wasn't panicking at all.

I'm not surprised.

Because the reason why she was locked up in a mental hospital in her previous life was because she suddenly had auditory hallucinations.

She told the doctor that she always heard the sycamore tree and camphor tree outside the classroom door quarreling, but she couldn't make out what they were saying. It sounded like a string of particularly chaotic notes, which gave her a terrible headache and seriously affected her studies.

The doctor finally diagnosed her with mental illness and said her condition was so serious that she even had auditory hallucinations.

So, at the age of 16, she was admitted to a mental hospital, where she stayed for ten years. She had to take a handful of pills every day, but her auditory hallucinations did not disappear, and her mental state became more and more insane.

However, as she grew older, her acting skills became more and more advanced. Even the doctor was fooled by her and thought she had really recovered, so he happily gave her a discharge order.

Her parents had their second child after she was hospitalized, and earned a lot of money. They felt guilty towards her, so they gave her enough money to live comfortably for the rest of her life. Unfortunately, she only enjoyed it for a week.

Ruan Qiqi had no nostalgia for her past life; her only regret was the unspent money in her card.

But now she has space, enough supplies to last for several lifetimes, and nine lives, so it’s not a loss!

She also understood that the golden finger given to her by Lord Yan should be the ability to communicate with plants.

In her previous life, she was not actually hallucinating, but her low abilities backfired and the doctors treated her as a mental patient. Now she could hear the ginkgo tree's mumbling very clearly, and apart from the noise, she did not feel any other discomfort.

"Little girl, did you hear me?"

The ginkgo tree thought for a long time but didn't get a response from Ruan Qiqi, so he couldn't help but ask.

"I heard you. Can you please say something useful instead of always talking about cheating and having an affair?"

Ruan Qiqi can communicate with the ginkgo tree through telepathy. Her mind is now filled with gossips about adultery and adultery, and they are all about people who have passed away. She is completely confused.

"Let me think about it... I have it, do you want the gold bars?"

"want!"

Ruan Qiqi's eyes lit up.

"See that ugly camphor tree? If you dig three feet underground, you'll find a jar of gold bars. Go dig it up and come back to talk to me!"

The ginkgo tree stretched out a branch and pointed to a camphor tree in front of the left side, urging Ruan Qiqi to dig for gold bars.

It was already dark at this time. There was an alley behind the guesthouse, and the camphor tree was in the alley. Ruan Qiqi found a hoe in the space, hugged the branch of the ginkgo tree, and landed on the ground easily like a swing.

The camphor tree is quite old, but Ruan Qiqi held it for a long time and there was no reaction.

It seems that her golden finger is limited to certain objects, and not all plants can communicate with it. She will have to slowly figure out the rules in the future.

Ruan Qiqi began to dig with great effort. With the guidance of the ginkgo tree, the digging went smoothly. She soon saw a tightly sealed pottery jar with a big belly. She shook off the dirt, put the heavy pottery jar into the space, then buried the dug hole and restored it to its original state.

She hugged the branch of the ginkgo tree and returned to the room safely. She listened to the ginkgo tree chattering for another hour, and her eyelids were drooping.

"I'll tell you about Old Man Wang and Widow Hua tomorrow. Go to sleep!"

The ginkgo tree was in a particularly good mood. After holding in the gossip for twenty years, it finally found someone to talk to.

"oh!"

Ruan Qiqi yawned loudly, entered the space and opened the pottery jar. A golden light shot out. Inside were neatly arranged small yellow croakers, a total of thirty, which is 937.5 grams of gold, nearly one kilogram.

She put the thirty gold bars back into the pottery jar, stored it in the supermarket, and left the space.

After a busy day, Ruan Qiqi slept until dawn and was woken up by the knocking on the window by the talkative Ginkgo.

“Knock knock knock…”

The knocking was very rhythmic and persistent. Ruan Qiqi could not even pretend to be asleep. She had to get up, wash, change into new underwear, and then take out the fragrant lotus leaf rice from the space. She ate while listening to the ginkgo tree gossip.

They talked for an hour and a half and Ruan Qiqi felt sleepy. Someone knocked on the door. It was the waiter of the guesthouse.

"Comrade Ruan, someone is looking for us. He said he knows He Jianjun!"

"Got it, I'll be down in a minute!"

Ruan Qiqi was no longer sleepy. The person who came must be the beast Liu Hongbo!
