Chapter 342 Neighbors
"These gems are carefully selected and collected by me, and each one is an absolute treasure. For people who live in poverty and live from hand to mouth, these things may not be worth eating or drinking and have little value. But for people who have no worries about food and clothing and pursue higher levels of spiritual enjoyment, these things may be considered good things!" Ye Lanxin said with some pride as she looked at the appreciation that unconsciously revealed on Rong Xianxian's face.
Rong Xianxian was still somewhat shocked when she looked at the gems in front of her. The creation of nature was extremely magical. These clear and transparent gems were so beautiful that one look at them made people feel happy.
She had visited several jewelry stores when collecting supplies, and had also paid attention to various types of jewelry and porcelain when strolling around the trading market in the safe zone. She had seen such beautiful gems before, but seeing so many piled together was really overwhelming.
I don’t know how Ye Lanxin collected so many top-quality gems?
Feng Xingjia's eyes passed over the gems and fell on the talisman papers. He regretted it very much. When they were collecting supplies on the road, they saw a store that specialized in selling various talisman papers. The goods inside were well preserved. The yellow talisman papers were neatly arranged in piles. They disliked the paper because it was thick, hard and heavy, so they didn't even touch it. They only picked up the thin and soft papers and collected some to use as toilet paper. Now they really regret it, even if they only took one pile.
"It's really a good thing. Mr. Ye is so polite." Rong Xianxian put the things away and thought about how to return the gift appropriately later.
"I'm glad you like it, Dr. Rong." Ye Lanxin said happily. He spent a lot of thought preparing this gift for Rong Xianxian.
"Who is this..." Ye Lanxin looked at Feng Xingjia and asked hesitantly.
"Feng Xingjia, like us, is following the main force and planning to head to the capital. He bought the elixir and talismans from me at the gymnasium." Rong Xianxian introduced briefly.
"Oh, will Ye's arrival affect your previous communication? Does Ye need to step aside?" Ye Lanxin asked politely.
"No need, Captain Feng. I still need to think about the matter you mentioned before. How about this? You leave your address first. If I need anything, I will come to you." Rong Xianxian said to Feng Xingjia.
"Doctor Rong, our team is indeed facing great difficulties right now, and most people are idle. If you need any errands or have any other needs, please give us priority, okay?" Feng Xingjia looked worried.
"Okay. Ajie, take two of the bags from the south room to Captain Feng." Rong Xianxian had a good impression of Captain Feng and thought there might be opportunities for cooperation in the future.
There were many packed bundles in the south room, which contained some half-new quilts and cotton-padded clothes, as well as a small amount of dried meat, dried fruits and dried vegetables. They were originally intended to be distributed to people in need, to help the poor and the needy and do good deeds. It was fate that Feng Xingjia was the first to visit. Although this amount of supplies was undoubtedly a drop in the bucket for their team, it was still a token of her kindness.
As the cooperation was not reached, Feng Xingjia left with regret. He did not refuse the things Rong Xianxian gave him. After all, those things were exactly what their team needed.
With no outsiders in the room, Ye Lanxin felt a little uncomfortable, especially when facing Cui Lie's cold gaze, she felt like sitting on pins and needles.
Rong Xianxian quickly noticed that the atmosphere was not right. When she felt the low pressure around Cui Lie, she felt helpless. He was fine just now, what happened to Alie?
"Alie, go and see if Xuanxuan and Xiaoluo are causing any trouble at Brother Ming's place." There is a basement under the activity room, which is Ming Tianlei's weapon refining room. The weapon refining room is built underground, which will not disturb others' practice and also has a certain degree of concealment.
"Okay." Cui Lie stood up and left.
"Doctor Rong, does this person have any idea about you? He is so hostile to me because he sees that I am giving you a gift." Ye Lanxin said, pretending to be relieved.
"How could that be? He dislikes you because of the time when a traitor appeared in your team, right?" Rong Xianxian retorted with amusement.
"Tsk tsk..." Ye Lanxin smiled meaningfully.
"Doctor Rong, I originally thought that I would only stay here for three to five days at most and then leave, but things changed so suddenly. I finally found out your address and planned to find a house near your home, but I didn't expect that the house closest to your home has been rented out." Ye Lanxin muttered.
"This place is so remote and the house is not big. It's okay for a small team like us to live here, but can your team of thirty or forty people accommodate it?" Rong Xianxian asked doubtfully. The reason why the yard here is difficult to rent out is because of its remote location and poor safety factor. It is not safe with fewer people living here, and the house here is not big either. It can accommodate a dozen people at most. A large and powerful team cannot accommodate it at all.
"It's so cold, we can just squeeze in and live here, and the house can be renovated. The yard I rent is about one thousand meters away from yours, so we are neighbors. I just moved in today and haven't even packed up yet, but I came to visit you immediately." Ye Lanxin said excitedly.
"So Mr. Ye just came to inform me that you have moved?" Rong Xianxian asked curiously. If that was the case, this guy was a little too idle.
"No, it's snowed for nearly ten days straight, and we've already spent all our money. If we don't go out, we'll have trouble making ends meet. If we didn't have some valuables in our hands, we wouldn't even be able to rent this remote yard." Ye Lanxin sighed.
“……”So, are you here to cry poor?
"Doctor Rong, we are planning to go out hunting, or look for supplies in the old city. Do you want to come with us?" Seeing that Rong Xianxian had no intention of responding, Ye Lanxin had to express her thoughts.
"It's so cold outside and very dangerous. The main thing is that we have prepared enough supplies, so we don't need to go out and take risks for the time being." Rong Xianxian declined tactfully.
"Doctor Rong, winter has just arrived, and we don't know how long it will last. In the days to come, the weather may be even worse than it is now. Now that the snow outside has stopped and the temperature is acceptable, you should come with us to find reserve supplies!" Ye Lanxin said instigatingly.
In his opinion, Rong Xianxian's so-called sufficient supplies could at most last them one month longer than their normal consumption!
But who knows how long this winter will last?
