Zhang Shun looked at the arrow. It was an ordinary arrow without any markings.
"Go down."
Zhang Shun looked at the dead pigeon on the table and felt a chill in his heart. If the arrow was aimed at him, wouldn’t he be dead by now?
From this we can see that the person behind the scenes did not want to kill him, so what was his purpose in shooting the carrier pigeon?
Zhang Shun's eyes fell on the pigeon's feet, and he suddenly discovered that the mailbox on it was gone!
It only took a moment!
Obviously, the mailbox was taken away by the person who shot the carrier pigeon. Could it be that he did it for the letter?
No, it's not just that. If it was just for the sake of faith, why would they shoot the carrier pigeon in front of him?
It was obvious that the person behind the scenes had no intention of hiding it; he was doing it just to show him! He was warning him!
Thinking of this, Zhang Shun couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

This time, Xue Huan did not sleep for three days and three nights, but only slept for one night.
After waking up, she did not get up immediately, but continued to lie on the bed with her eyes closed, replaying the experience of entering the black beads twice in her mind.
First of all, it is certain that this bead is no ordinary object. The space inside is equivalent to a spiritual training ground, so let's name it the Spirit Refining Stone.
Those meteorites are not real meteorites. They can attack spiritual consciousness, and after being hit and dissipating, they can also emit star-like light spots. These light spots can repair or even strengthen spiritual consciousness.
Secondly, only spiritual consciousness can enter the Spirit Refining Stone. She cannot bring anything else in. The weapon she conjured up is actually a part of her spiritual consciousness. In the process of fighting with the meteorite, her spiritual consciousness was also tempered.
Finally, she always felt a sense of familiarity when she used a knife to chop the meteorite before, as if she had experienced a similar scene before.
Where is it?
Oh right! VR Cutting! She’s played this game before!
The gameplay of this game is so similar to the scene where she cuts meteorites in the Spirit Stone Refining Space!
Xue Huan felt like she knew how to kill everyone in the Soul Refining Stone.
Of course, knowing is one thing, but whether you can keep up with the reaction and speed is another.
I don’t know who created this Spirit Refining Stone. Could it be that it was also a senior who traveled from Earth?

"Miss, I've already found out. There are three orphanages in the city. One is government-run, called Qionglin Orphanage. It has a total of fifty-three children, forty girls and thirteen boys. The oldest is twelve years old, and the youngest is still breastfeeding.
"The manager's surname is Yan, and there's a cook there. They're a married couple. Because it's a government-run institution, the government allocates a portion of money and grain to it every month, but that's not enough to cover all of the expenses of the welfare bureau.
"So that strict steward would take on some private work, like stringing beads, making shoes and socks, for the older children. The money he earned was used to buy food. Although the children's lives weren't exactly good, they didn't starve."
Xue Huan nodded. "What about the other two privately run businesses?"
Chen Tian: "This one was funded by Wei Hongguang, a wealthy man in the east of the city. Mr. Wei often helps the poor and has a good reputation. This welfare agency was originally built by Mr. Wei for orphans in his family. At the beginning, it only took in orphans from the Wei family. Later, whenever an orphan was sent here, Mr. Wei would pay for their care.
"It's just that this orphanage isn't easy to get into. Outsiders aren't allowed in. I haven't been able to find out much. But I heard from the residents nearby that Mr. Wei visits the orphanage every once in a while to see the children."
Xue Huan nodded to indicate that she understood. "What about the last one?"
"The last one was run by an old man named Tang. Old Tang was once quite wealthy, but his only son squandered it all, leaving him with only a large mansion. All the children he adopted are now settled in the Tang Mansion. His son wants to sell the mansion, but Old Tang refuses to agree, and the two have a bitter feud.
"When I went to get information earlier, I happened to see the father and son arguing. I also heard these things from the neighbors. Father Tang was angry with his son and threatened to get out and disown him. After that, I bought some food and pretended to be someone who wanted to adopt a child, and went into the Tang Mansion to take a look.
"Those children seem to be well-raised, and they get along with Old Man Tang like a grandparent and grandchildren. They are also very sensible and know how to find work to earn money to support their younger brothers and sisters."
After hearing the information Chen Tian had inquired about, Xue Huan had some understanding of the three welfare and early childhood education bureaus, but she still needed to see the specific situation with her own eyes.
But before that, she had one more thing to do.
"Butler Chen, are you wondering why I asked you to find out this information?"
Chen Tian: "What the young lady ordered must have its purpose."
Xue Huan smiled, "I plan to donate some money and supplies to support the orphans in the welfare bureau, but money can't be donated just like that, so I asked you to find out about the various welfare bureaus in the city."
Chen Tian suddenly understood.
"This isn't something I did on a whim; I've had it planned for a long time, and I intend to continue doing it. However, you can't just do good deeds; you need to have a clear plan. You have to consider who to donate to, how to donate, and whether the money is actually used. I plan to set up a charitable foundation specifically to handle this matter."
Chen Tian listened and secretly pondered the foundation she mentioned.
"I will be the president of the foundation, and you will be the vice president. You know I'm very busy on weekdays and often not at home, so Steward Chen will have to pay more attention to the affairs of the foundation."
Chen Tian hurriedly said, "Miss, you are too polite. If you have anything to say, just tell me."
Xue Huan pondered for a moment. "The foundation can't just be run by the two of us. We need to recruit some people to do the actual work. For example, there should be an accountant to keep accounts, a comprador to purchase supplies, someone to handle external liaisons, errand runners, and so on. We need at least five or six people. I'll leave the recruitment to you."
Chen Tian: “Yes.”
"I'll write the foundation's charter over the next two days. When the time comes, whether it's allocating funds or making purchases, we can follow the procedures."
Chen Tian stepped back and went to do the recruiting task that Xue Huan had asked him to do.
Xue Huan sat in the study for a whole day, clarifying the various regulations of the foundation and writing them down one by one.
The foundation's rules and regulations, the specific responsibilities of each position, employee salaries and benefits, etc.
Finally, there is the name of the foundation and the location of its office.
Let’s just call it “Daqing”. “Qing” is taken from the saying “A family that accumulates good will surely have good fortune”, and adding the word “Da” makes it feel more grand.
Daqing Charity Foundation may sound a bit vulgar at first, but it will become easier to pronounce after you read it a few times.
