Chapter 91 Xia Qianqian is incredibly well-behaved
"Grandma, please spare me! I'll do anything you say, just make it take its paws away!"
He could smell the stench emanating from the wolf king's mouth, and he didn't dare to move an inch, for fear that if he accidentally provoked the wolf king, he would be torn to pieces in the next second.
"Tell me, why were you following me?"
The man hurriedly said, "My brother saw you make two large transactions and figured you must have a lot of money. We in the black market do shady business, so he instructed me to follow you."
He cried with snot and tears streaming down his face: "Grandma, I had no choice! I was forced into this! I have an eighty-year-old mother who needs my care, and a baby who is still breastfeeding who needs my support. Please, have pity on me and let me go!"
Xia Qianqian sneered and said, "So your black market does this kind of thing. Fine, tell me about your black market, and your boss too, tell me everything in detail."
In order to save his life, Zhang San spilled everything he knew, like beans pouring from a bamboo tube.
“Grandma, my name is Zhang San. I can’t remember my real name anymore. Back when there was a famine, I fled all the way here and met my older brother Zhang Qiang.”
Zhang San told Xia Qianqian that in the early days after liberation, when the situation was turbulent, he and his elder brother took advantage of the chaos to rob and plunder everywhere, which allowed them to accumulate a lot of money.
Later, they used this money to make connections with influential people everywhere, and only with money and power could they set up this black market.
"Although we later claimed to have given up our criminal ways, how can we so easily give up our greed? If we encounter a fat sheep like you, we still can't help but go back to our old ways. Grandma, Miss, I've told you everything I know. Please, have mercy on me!" Zhang San said, looking pitifully at Xia Qianqian.
Xia Qianqian fell silent. If it were in the past, she would have handed Zhang San over to the police without hesitation.
But now, her thoughts are different.
Having experienced Lu Zheng's arrest, she deeply felt the chaos of this world.
Even if he put Zhang San in the police station, he might be bailed out at any moment. Besides, if the police really shut down this black market, where would he go to exchange goods in the future?
It's better for us to keep these people.
Moreover, according to Zhang San, they only robbed wealthy individuals and never harassed ordinary people. Xia Qianqian believed this, as the black market had always had a good reputation.
Seeing that Xia Qianqian remained silent for a long time, Zhang San became increasingly apprehensive.
Suddenly, Xia Qianqian asked, "Do you want to live?"
The wolf king let out a low growl, which startled Zhang San so much that he trembled all over and hurriedly shouted, "If you want to live, I'll do whatever you say!"
Xia Qianqian casually grabbed a piece of cloth and swiftly blindfolded Zhang San: "If you want to live, you'll work for me from now on."
As soon as she finished speaking, Xia Qianqian took Zhang San into the Peach Blossom Spring.
"Where is this?" Xia Qianqian removed the blindfold from his eyes. Zhang San looked at this unfamiliar yet beautiful place, thinking he was dreaming, and rubbed his face vigorously.
Xia Qianqian did not respond to his question. With another thought, Zhang San felt his body go out of control, and like the grain that had been collected before, he was laid flat on the ground with a "bang".
"A fairy maiden?!"
Zhang San's eyes widened, his face filled with shock and awe.
In his view, Xia Qianqian was so powerful that she must be a fairy descended from heaven. No wonder she was so beautiful, exuding an otherworldly aura.
Zhang San knelt on the ground, raised his hand, and slapped himself hard across the face: "Fairy Maiden, I was blind and didn't recognize your greatness, I offended you. You have mercy and spared my worthless life. From now on, whatever you say, I will do without hesitation!"
Hearing Zhang San's words, Xia Qianqian nodded in satisfaction. In this paradise, she was the one who ruled over everything, and she had no worries about Zhang San disobeying her.
She asked, "What skills do you have? Can you build houses?"
Zhang San nodded hurriedly and said ingratiatingly, "Yes, yes, fairy! My brother and I used to do odd jobs for others, so we're quite good at building houses. If you don't mind our skills, fairy, we can build you a temple. We guarantee it will be both magnificent and sturdy."
"What temple do I need?" Xia Qianqian's stern tone softened considerably when she heard Zhang San say he could build houses, and a hint of satisfaction flashed in her eyes. "If you really know how to build houses, then stay here and work hard from now on."
Then, her tone shifted, becoming somewhat threatening: "What if you have other intentions—"
Before he could finish speaking, the wolf king let out a powerful howl, and Zhang San's legs went weak, and he couldn't even stand up.
"Fairy Maiden, Grandpa Wolf, I promise I'll work hard and I'll never have any other thoughts!"
Xia Qianqian was increasingly satisfied and told him that he could eat whatever he wanted here, and that he should take care of the vegetable garden when he had time. She also told him to find a place to build a shed for himself first, and that she would buy planks and bricks later so he could build a place to live.
Zhang San never expected that working with the fairy would result in an endless supply of delicious food. He grinned from ear to ear and patted his chest to assure Xia Qianqian.
Xia Qianqian didn't immediately trust Zhang San and decided to observe him for a while before leaving Peach Blossom Spring. After explaining things to him, she also instructed the Wolf King to keep an eye on him.
This time, everything was stored in Peach Blossom Spring, and her hands were suddenly much lighter.
Xia Qianqian checked the time, turned around, and went into the pharmacy on the street corner. The pharmacy was already packing up to close, so she quickly bought a few commonly used medicines and hurried towards the meeting point.
Finally finding a ride that went her way, Xia Qianqian took the bus to the drop-off point of the next brigade. As soon as she got off the bus, she saw a familiar figure standing there. It was Lu Zheng! Why was he waiting for her here?
"Why are you only just getting back?" The man's deep voice was filled with worry and anxiety.
Xia Qianqian looked up and met the man's eyes.
Xia Qianqian: ……
She quickly lowered her head, obediently clutching the medicine packet in front of her, even softening her breathing.
Oh no, Lu Zheng is angry! She knows him too well. If she dares to say a word back, he might just pick her up and leave right there, regardless of how public it is!
She didn't want the scandalous news of "Lu Zheng carrying his girlfriend around the village" to spread throughout the surrounding area the next morning, making her the "free laughing stock" of more than a dozen villages!
Xia Qianqian's fox-like eyes instantly filled with tears, and her voice was soft and sweet: "Lu Zheng...did I make you worry?"
She looked at him tenderly, but secretly cursed him in her heart: Why is that jerk so fierce? Luckily, I can bend and stretch.
