Chapter 172: Past Events of the Republic of China 12
Qiu Chi didn't pay attention to what happened to the Nie family later for the time being. She had already found Zhai Jiayue's savior, Lu Yuanqi.
Lu Yuanqi's parents have passed away and he is now alone. His family has no money and he has never been to school. He makes a living by pulling a rickshaw. Everyone usually calls him Ayuan.
Although his life was not as carefree as those of some people, he still lived a fulfilling life.
Ayuan is a kind person.
This is not only reflected in the fact that he saved Zhai Jiayue, but also in his neighbors.
He has a very good reputation among his neighbors, and everyone speaks of him in praise.
Qiu Chi did not deliberately approach him, nor did he intend to approach him.
Qiu Chi found a hotel not far from this place and stayed there. He spent most of his time collecting medicinal herbs, and occasionally took a ride in his rickshaw.
After riding a few times and getting a little familiar with the situation, Qiu Chi suddenly asked him, "Don't you find it tiring to pull a rickshaw every day? Have you ever thought about changing?"
"Life is like this for everyone. It's not that hard for me. I don't want to change for the time being. I'm quite satisfied with my current life."
Qiu Chi fell silent after asking this question.
After a while, he changed the subject again and asked, "If one day you were asked to go to the front lines to fight, would you go?"
Lu Yuanqi didn't ask Qiu Chi why he asked that. He just said with a bit of seriousness, "I will go."
This time, Qiu Chi didn't pause and continued to ask the next question: "But going to the front line to fight means death. Aren't you afraid?"
"I'm afraid, of course I'm not, but I still have to go."
"Why?"
"Because I am a member of the country, when the country is in trouble, even if my ability is limited, I can still contribute a little. No matter what difficulties we face, we will get through it with everyone working together. We can't always rely on others to protect us."
Qiu Chi asked a question that he knew the answer to, "Have you ever been to school?"
"No, my family is poor and I can't afford to go to school."
"But judging from what you just said, it doesn't sound like something someone who hasn't been to school would say. Well... I mean, your words seem quite educated, but that doesn't mean you can't defend your country just because you haven't been to school."
Lu Yuanqi chuckled and said, "I also think what I said is very cultured. Although I have never been to school, I have secretly listened to some of the teachings in school, and I do understand a lot of general principles."
Qiu Chi also smiled. "That's good of you, but I have another question. If you had someone you wanted to marry, would you still go to the front without hesitation? You might be betraying her if you went there. After all, if something happened to you, she might either wait for you forever or die with you."
After Qiu Chi finished speaking, Lu Yuanqi remained silent for a long time. She did not urge him, but waited for Lu Yuanqi to think for himself.
But when they arrived at the place and the rickshaw stopped, Lu Yuanqi still hadn't made up his mind.
Qiu Chi got out of the car. Lu Yuanqi scratched his head and said to Qiu Chi, "Miss, I've thought about your question for a long time and I don't think it's right. I don't have anyone I want to marry, and no girl is willing to marry me. It's impossible to be like what you said."
Qiu Chi didn't say much. When he handed over the money, he also gave it a yellow talisman: "I'm quite satisfied chatting with you today. This talisman is a peace talisman. It's not worth much. You can carry it with you."
Lu Yuanqi took the fare and the yellow talisman from Qiu Chi without thinking much and said, "Thank you, Miss."

After giving Lu Yuanqi a piece of talisman paper, Qiu Chi walked around the Zhai family's warehouse and then left Xuzhou City directly.
Before, there were people from the Zhai family who continued to look for her, but it was all in vain.
All the men who came were beaten by her and were carried back in the end.
Although the woman didn't hit the man, she still made him very angry.
Now that the Zhai family's warehouse has been emptied, Qiu Chi even left a special message: "I'm doing a good deed for you."
Doing good things is really doing good things.
What's consumed the fastest in war? Medicinal herbs.
What the front lines lack most is medicine, but some places have medicine but are only thinking about making a killing and raising the prices of medicine to extremely high levels, making it impossible for people on the front lines to afford it.
Qiu Chi used all the money he got from the Nie and Zhai families to buy medicine, and then sent it to the front line.
Just because he has no money doesn't mean Qiu Chi can just sit back and relax.
First courtesy, then force. First courtesy, then honestly use money to acquire.
Now that I have no money, I naturally don’t care about so many things.
Of course, she wasn't so wicked as to take things from legitimate merchants without paying.
What she took naturally belonged to the invaders.
When taking things from the invaders, it doesn’t matter whether they are medicine or weapons.
Anyway, space is infinite. Although she does not go to the battlefield, her legend is still indispensable on the battlefield.
For example, the invaders' weapons warehouses were always suddenly emptied overnight, while our side had an extra batch of weapons somewhere, which led to their victory with almost no casualties.
This kind of thing happens very often in places where there is war.
The enemy's supplies always disappear suddenly for no reason, while ours suddenly appear in large quantities.
After so many times, the enemy's morale was low, but no matter how vigilant they were or how many tricks they used, the things would still disappear.
The enemy's morale is low, so our morale is naturally high.
Qiu Chi stopped fighting among our forces.
She still prefers to be united against external enemies, but she is not surprised by the internal strife among us.
She has lived in the modern world. Although there are some differences between this world and the history of the Republic of China in the modern world, they are generally similar.
Qiu Chi was not going to get involved in the internal strife.
The enemy was not completely driven away, but Qiu Chi was not going to continue to care about it.
At this point, our victory is actually very obvious, it is the internal strife that has slowed down the pace of victory.
However, there are advantages to not completely driving away the enemy, as it allows those people to see clearly who is more suitable to be the final winner.
But these had nothing to do with Qiu Chi, because she was ready to leave.
Before leaving, she also asked about the follow-up of her old friend.
As expected, Lu Yuanqi still joined the army and went to the front line, but this time he did not die.
The Nie family's situation is not particularly good.
Nie Yaya is stupid and regards Zhou Mingsheng as her true love, but Zhou Mingsheng is just playing around. After finishing his business, he left Xuzhou City directly without caring about Nie Yaya at all.
After Zhou Mingsheng left, Nie Yaya made a big fuss at the Yu family hotel, allowing the head of the Yu family to fleece the Nie family again.
In the end, Nie Yaya was given by Master Nie to the general who came to Xuzhou to recruit soldiers as a concubine.
The Zhai family was not to be outdone and sent their daughter away.
But even so, the two families declined.
The Nie family is especially bad.
Because Nie Zhicheng is a useless love-brained person.
