Chapter 12 Big Shopping Spree!
"Go save them!"
Ning Jinli's voice echoed down the corridor...
Her heart was pounding, as if it were about to burst out of her chest.
I haven't had a good rest these past few days. I even gave Xiao Qidi a blood transfusion in the first half of the night, and my body is starting to give me warning signs.
But she couldn't care less about any of that.
Seventy thousand lives are in imminent danger!
Xiao Qidi's tragic fate needs to be rewritten!
She couldn't stop the image of him with his eyes gouged out, his limbs severed, and his ears and nose cut off from his body flashing uncontrollably into her mind...
Just how strong must one's willpower be to live like that, and toil for the Xuan Kingdom until death!
He was the true founder of the Xuan Dynasty!
He is the true ancestral emperor!
Why should someone else take all the credit and live on his fame for eternity?
Ning Jinli wished he could tear those bastards who bullied him to pieces!
When she arrived outside the hospital, she saw Uncle Wu smoking by his car.
Su Qiang curled up on the ground, groaning.
Several men were standing nearby.
"Miss Ning!"
Master Wu waved his hand.
Ning Jinli walked over with a cold face, her pupils even turning red, which startled Master Wu.
He quickly stubbed out his cigarette.
He stood tall, chest out, belly tucked in, and said to the other men:
"This is Miss Ning, go and say hello!"
"Hello, Miss Ning!" The group bowed in unison.
"Third Master, what's wrong with you...?" Ning Jinli asked.
Uncle Wu said, "I just gave him a little talking-to. Don't worry, I'll take responsibility if he gets hurt. The hospital is right next door, so it'll be convenient for him to get treatment."
Ning Jinli walked up to Su Qiang.
Su Qiang, his face bruised and swollen, was crying and sniffling. "I'll never ask you for money again, please spare me!"
Ning Jinli squinted, "Third Master is right, the hospital is right next door, it's convenient for treatment."
She raised her foot and kicked him repeatedly.
Kick them as hard as you can!
The way he vented made Wu Sanye and the others gasp in shock.
"Miss Ning! Please don't do this, please don't do this!"
He quickly pulled her away.
When it comes to beating someone up, you need to be steady, accurate, ruthless, and hurtful enough.
But don't cause anyone to die.
If Ning Jinli were to kick someone in the head or neck—a potentially fatal spot—she might just send them to meet the King of Hell.
Ning Jinli, on the other hand, calmed down quickly.
Leaning against the car to catch her breath, she casually smoothed her messy long hair, crossed her arms, and said, "Third Master, there's an urgent matter that I need your help with."
Master Wu was somewhat dazed.
It was as if Ning Jinli exuded the aura of a big sister.
This girl just graduated from university...
Sure enough, when a woman gets angry, she's terrifying no matter her age.
"Miss Ning, please speak. I will do my best to help as long as it is within my power."
As he spoke, he gave the others a wink, and the group dragged Su Qiang to the hospital.
Ning Jinli said, "Help me contact food factories, fruit and vegetable wholesale markets, and drinking water factories. I need to make a large purchase!"
"No problem," Master Wu patted his chest. "What do you need to buy? How much?"
Ning Jinli gestured:
"We need enough food for 70,000 people for a month. The staple food and meat must be ready-to-eat and have a long shelf life. Hmm... we also need feed for 5,000 horses, which is also enough for a month."
"No need to deliver all at once, as long as there is a continuous supply."
"As for medicines, let's start with a batch of common antibiotics and wound medicines."
"Please help me contact a reliable manufacturer, and I'll discuss the details with them."
"Oh, we also need a thousand hoes and a thousand shovels."
This time, it was Wu Sanye's turn to be stunned.
What are you doing...?
Is it for disaster relief?
But I haven't heard of any disasters happening anywhere in China recently.
What's the meaning of having another 5,000 horses?
The hoes and shovels were even more inexplicable...
"Is there a problem?" Ning Jinli asked.
Master Wu snapped out of his daze, "No, no, no, I'll contact them for you right away!"
Ning Jinli nodded, "Okay, could you please find another construction team to come to my factory as soon as possible? I need to modify the water pipes."
"Okay! Leave it to me!"
One o'clock in the morning.
The construction team arrived at the factory.
As per Ning Jinli's request, several large pipes were laid from the reservoir to the back door of the small warehouse.
Ning Jinli was busy negotiating with several factories introduced by Master Wu, and it wasn't until almost dawn that they reached an agreement.
The construction team was extremely efficient and finished laying the pipes at that time.
At the same time, a thousand hoes and a thousand shovels were delivered.
Ning Jinli had the truck drive into the large warehouse and unload the contents directly onto the ground.
After the truck left, she used her mind to send it to the other side of the time-space tunnel.
The cave is guarded by soldiers from Linxian Village, so she doesn't need to worry about not being able to find anyone.
"Go quickly and gather two thousand men."
“Use these tools to dig a small pool in the cave, and then widen the ditch that the people had dug out to lead to the canal.”
Hearing Ning Jinli's instructions, the soldiers naturally knew that they would need more water.
He was immediately invigorated and took immediate action.
Before long, the small pond and the ditch leading outside were dug.
Ning Jinli opened the valve, and a huge flow of water gushed out, filling the small pool before flowing into the canal along the ditch.
Upon hearing the news, Xiao Qidi arrived and ordered thousands of soldiers to guard the water source and the canal that runs through the village. He also ordered everyone to line up to collect water in rations, and that anyone who took water without authorization would be severely punished.
Seventy thousand hungry and thirsty people were crammed into Linxian Village. If they were not careful, a looting spree would surely destroy the irrigation canals.
"Why aren't you asleep yet?" Ning Jinli looked at Xiao Qidi's pale and tired face, and her heart ached.
Xiao Qidi said, "Miss Ning has gone to great lengths to help us. The soldiers and civilians are still in danger. How can I sleep?"
"But you're injured..."
"It's alright, we can handle it."
"..."
Ning Jinli lowered her head and wiped her eyes.
After calming down, she confessed:
"The water in the canal is used to supply several thousand warhorses and your daily needs. I will also send you drinkable water and more food, enough for all of you. Arrange for more people to come and meet you this afternoon."
Xiao Qidi's eyes lit up. "Excellent! On behalf of the soldiers and the people, and on behalf of the Xuan Kingdom, I thank Miss Ning!"
Ning Jinli's lips trembled slightly as she whispered, "I will definitely not let anything happen to you..."
Xiao Qidi didn't hear clearly and asked in confusion, "Miss Ning, what did you say?"
Ning Jinli smiled and said, "It's nothing, silly little brother."
She turned and left.
Xiao Qidi watched her tall figure disappear from sight.
The image of her jumping up and hugging him in fright flashed through his mind.
And... he was injured and unconscious in bed, and he vaguely saw her watching over him.
For no apparent reason, my heart started racing.
"Your Majesty, look at the hoes and shovels the fairy gave us." A soldier handed over the tools.
When Xiao Qidi received it, he discovered that the material was very special.
It was a metal he had never seen before, far superior to the most commonly used bronze.
"Your Majesty, is this ironware?!" the soldier asked.
Iron is superior to bronze, but it is extremely difficult to obtain and not commonly seen.
Xiao Qidi gently stroked the hoe with his large hand.
"No, this is a thousand times better than iron. Send two thousand soldiers here, distribute the hoes and shovels given by the fairy to them as weapons, and station them here. When the food arrives, if anyone tries to steal it, kill them without mercy."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
——
That morning, starting at ten o'clock, a convoy of trucks entered Ning Jinli's factory.
Ning Jinli opened the door to the large warehouse in the food section, allowing the truck to drive straight in.
The 5,000-square-meter warehouse has been emptied.
It can accommodate hundreds of medium-sized trucks.
The first to arrive were twenty trucks loaded with watermelons and vegetables.
"Miss Ning, please sign for 100,000 jin of watermelon and 100,000 jin of vegetables."
The sales clerk handed the order form to Ning Jinli with a big smile.
As Ning Jinli signed the document, she said, "The truck will stay here for now. I will notify you to come and pick it up before 5 p.m.
The other party nodded repeatedly, "Yes, Miss Ning, our boss has already given instructions, we will do as you say."
Immediately afterwards, another twenty-two trucks arrived!
