The Rabbit District Chief smiled widely, patted a nearby blue tricycle with peeling paint, and waved to Qi Fan: "Come on down! Let's go! I'll take you on my bike to see the house I've prepared for you!"
Qi Mi observed carefully for a moment. This person exuded simplicity in his every move, and his enthusiasm did not seem fake. He was very different from those arrogant and domineering advanced people he had seen.
It’s similar to what I learned from Qi Siyun.
After putting shoes on the children, Qi Mi took them downstairs.
Qi Siyun had already gone to the door to chat with the head of the Rabbit District, holding the five cans she mentioned.
"I think you should not take them in. Let them stay here with me. Your shabby house leaks in the winter and the summer, and it's making those little bastards sick." As Qi Siyun saw Qi Mi coming over with a few children, he nodded at the district chief and continued, "See? They're only three or four years old. Stop torturing them."
The Rabbit District Chief seemed persuaded by her words, his expression slightly embarrassed. "With so many children, that house really isn't suitable for them. It's fine if the adults can just make do."
"That's right. You can send their canned food directly to the hotel later. These five cans today are considered as loans from me to them." Qi Siyun said with a smile.
Seeing that the two of them had almost decided, Qi Mi didn't say anything else. After all, even she felt that it was more convenient for the children to live here. At least it was clean here, and the toilet was a separate one, but there was no electricity.
She smiled politely at the head of the Rabbit District and asked about the daily work or life arrangements in the Rabbit District so that she could adapt to the local customs as soon as possible.
The district chief shook his head and looked at Qi Siyun uncertainly: "Arrangements...it seems that our Rabbit District doesn't have any daily arrangements, right?"
Qi Siyun scoffed and then started complaining without giving any face, "That's right. People in the rabbit area just tend to their little plot of land every day, watering it and catching bugs. At best, they go out hunting or something, but they often don't catch anything. When they have nothing to do, they just get together to gossip and chat. It's almost like my parents' retirement life. What else can they do?"
The Rabbit District Chief was speechless. After holding it in for a long time, he tried his best to find a way to make amends and smiled awkwardly: "In our Rabbit District, everyone lives a very Buddhist life. There are not many arrangements. It's quite free here..."
"Yes, there is only freedom left, nothing else." Qi Siyun attacked accurately again.
Rabbit District Chief: “…”
The head of Rabbit District could no longer bear Qi Siyun's words, so he quickly made an excuse that he had something to do and turned the tricycle around.
"Wait a minute, District Chief." Qi Mi suddenly called him, "Do you have any small generators here? Even if they're broken, I can fix them."
Feeling that she would have to stay in this city that never sleeps for quite some time, she still hoped that her children could live in an environment with light.
The district chief and Qi Siyun exchanged a glance, and Qi Siyun took over the conversation, tentatively asking, "The hotel has a small generator that's been broken for a long time. It's in a terrible state. Can you fix it?"
Qi Mi nodded: "As long as we can find the materials, we can repair it."
"But we don't have fuel here. Gasoline and diesel are only available in the districts with lights on. Even if you fix it, it might not start. The only way to obtain such resources is to win in the arena," said the district chief. "But our Rabbit District has decided not to participate in the arena, so I probably can't help you."
Qi Mi lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then raised his head again: "Is it possible to leave the City That Never Sleeps?"
District Chief: "Everyone can go out once a week, and the guards will strictly manage it."
"It's okay, as long as I can go out. I'll go out tomorrow."
The district chief opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he said nothing. He turned around and rode the old tricycle, squeaking towards the village.
Half an hour later, Qi Mi finally coaxed the excited children to sleep, and heard someone shouting downstairs again.
She hurried to the window and found that the district chief was riding a small tricycle and had brought back a lot of used tools and materials, as well as those simply packaged cans, which were piled up into a small hill.
Qi Mi closed the door gently and ran downstairs.
"I don't know what materials you want. Can you see if there are any that can be used?" said the district chief.
He collected all these materials from door to door. Although he said he couldn't help, he still did his best to collect so many things that might be useful for Qi fans.
Scrap wires, old iron sheets, hammers, wrenches... everything you can think of.
"That's about it. Thank you, District Chief." Qi Mi nodded to thank him.
"No, no," the district chief waved his hand, walked around to the back of the tricycle, and continued, "There are twenty-one cans here, which should be enough for you to eat for a few days. If it's not enough, you can go to the village and help with farming or something. This is all from everyone's kindness. Originally, they should have given you fifteen, but when they heard that there were four children, they each took out an extra portion for you."
Seeing Qi Mi was stunned, Qi Siyun came over and patted her shoulder: "Why are you standing there? Wait for us to help you move. Do your own thing."
Qi Mi curled his lips, very surprised by the harmony in this area.
Especially after she had seen so many high-ranking advanced people, this kind of ordinary mutual help became very rare.
"Now I understand why you stayed in the rabbit area." Qi Mi stepped forward and took the can from Qi Siyun's hand.
Qi Siyun stared at her for two seconds, curled the corner of his lip, turned around and took the remaining cans into the hotel.
The three of them quickly piled these things into the hotel's warehouse.
Not daring to leave the children for too long, Qi Mi carried a very old small generator and some tools and sat in the corridor at the door, watching over the children while repairing the generator without any delay.
She thought she could spend a rare time alone, but not long after, she heard noise coming from downstairs.
Qi Siyun seemed to be talking to a man, and then the footsteps of two people came upstairs in a chaotic manner.
Qi Mi sat cross-legged on the ground and casually glanced towards the stairs. She happened to see Xing Tiejun walking up the stairs and realized that he was looking for her.
She looked away, as if she hadn't seen it, and continued to cut off the unusable wires on the generator with a knife.
Xing Tiejun, who would never come to the temple for no reason, strode over confidently, "Hey, our vanguard officer is looking for you. If you know what's good for you, follow me."
"Let's do it tomorrow. I'm not free today." Qi Mi replied without raising his head.
Xing Tiejun seemed accustomed to her arrogant temper. Instead of getting angry, he smiled, his lips curled up even more. "Let me remind you again, it's our vanguard officer who's looking for you. What right do you have to say you're busy? Let me tell you, if you anger our vanguard officer in this city that never sleeps, you'll really be in big trouble... Am I right?"
He turned around and looked at Qi Siyun, using his eyes to intimidate her, trying to get her to agree.
Unexpectedly, Qi Siyun didn't play by the rules. He rolled his eyes and turned away, speaking with his usual venomous tone: "How should I know? I haven't seen it!"
Without even looking at the video, one could imagine Xing Tiejun's frustrated look, and Qi's fans couldn't help but laugh.
"Okay, are you guys in Rabbit District going to jump up and down?" Xing Tiejun hadn't taken revenge for being ridiculed by Qi fans before, and now there was a poisonous-tongued woman like Qi Siyun. His face turned blue and red with anger.
As a result, as soon as he said this, Qi Siyun whispered back, "Rabbits are meant to jump. If they don't jump, can they still be called rabbits? They're called turtles..."
Qi fans couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"You bitch, I think you're looking for death!" Xing Tiejun shouted and rushed towards Qi Siyun.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Qi Mi quickly stood up.
However, before she could stop her, Qi Siyun had already escaped. As soon as Xing Tiejun touched her, she suddenly drilled into the thick wall. Xing Tiejun could only scratch the wall with his hands in shame.
Qi Siyun's skill is that she can hide and move around freely among cement and stones. Although she has no fighting ability, it is an excellent escape skill and most people cannot catch her.
Look, in just a few seconds, she escaped from Xing Tiejun's hands, poked her head out from the other wall, and deliberately made a face at him.
Xing Tiejun knew that if he continued to pester them, he would surely be toyed with by these two women again, so he simply issued an ultimatum to Qi Mi: "I'll ask you again, the vanguard officer wants to see you, will you go or not?"
"I'll say it again, I'm not free today, let's talk about it tomorrow." Qi Mi sat down cross-legged again. Now she had to take care of the children in the room, so how could she go to see some vanguard officer.
Xing Tiejun raised his finger and pointed at the two of them. He was so angry that he held it in for a long time, and then said, "Okay, you just wait!!!"
He kicked the stairwell door in a rage, ran downstairs, and slammed the hotel door shut. The loud noise could be heard from the second floor.
Qi Mi clicked his tongue, opened the door a crack and looked inside the house.
Fortunately, the children just turned over and slept soundly.
Qi Siyun walked out from the wall and looked at Qi Mi thoughtfully: "Why did the vanguard officer target you?"
"It's probably because I killed one of his men." Qi Mi replied indifferently and continued to cut the aging wires.
Feeling that Qi Siyun had been standing there for a long time without moving, she slowly raised her head and met Qi Siyun's expression of disbelief.
Qi Fan felt funny: "What's wrong?"
"You? Killed the Vanguard's men?" Qi Siyun asked again uncertainly. Qi Mi's thin arms and legs didn't look like she was capable of fighting a knife or a gun. Besides, everyone in the city that never sleeps knew how powerful the Vanguard's men were. How could a little girl like this kill the Vanguard's men?
She was a little bit skeptical.
Qi Mi didn't want to waste time explaining, so he smiled and shrugged his shoulders, and his meaning was very clear: Believe it or not.
Seeing that she was busy repairing the generator and didn't want to continue this topic, Qi Siyun felt bored standing there, so he turned around and went downstairs.
She stayed hunched over on the sofa, keeping watch, afraid that any noise would alert the upper floors. She thought the vanguard officer would come and arrest her in a rage, but the night passed without a single incident.
Instead of waiting for bad things to happen, a "good thing" actually happened.
