Chapter 67: The Evil of the Zhao Family (Thirteen)
Qianyuan Pen?
Or a magical tool with growth potential!
After the previous system rewards, Xu Qiuqian already knew that the system rewards were definitely good things.
Like the shelves, soft cloud bed, and plaque, each one is excellent, especially the soft cloud bed, which can be used as her sleep place on weekdays and as a means of transportation when traveling.
I don’t know what this Qianyuan pen looks like.
Xu Qiuqian was somewhat expectant, and her passion also increased a lot.
The dark yellow gas in Hong'an Street was caused by the Zhao family. Maybe when we deal with the Zhao family, we can find a way to deal with the dark yellow gas.
Xia Qin had come to tell her before that after a while, Ji Zong would send people to investigate and resolve the dark yellow gas. Once the dark yellow gas completely disappears, this mission will probably be completed.
Xu Qiuqian couldn't help but think of Xia Qin's previous suggestion.
Although she didn't plan to expand her store, she bought all the stores on Hong'an Street while the prices were low. When the dark yellow gas disappeared and more people came to Hong'an Street, she would sell them and make a lot of money! This is a sure-win business! Thinking of this, Xu Qiuqian said to Li Shiqian, "You can move freely at other times, but your indenture is still in the Zhao family, and several other families are also implementing plans to deal with the Zhao family during this period, so it's best not to go out and stay in the store."
Li Shiqian responded.
"Can I use the spirit gathering array in the hall on the first floor now?"
"certainly."
So the two of them went downstairs together, Li Shiqian went to the living room, and Xu Qiuqian left the store.
She first walked towards the small shop next to the grocery store.
There is a piece of paper on the door of the store saying that the store is for sale at a low price. If you are interested, you can go to a certain place in Youling City. If you keep walking forward, you will find that they are almost the same.
Among them, 40% are stores owned by a few large families, 20% are stores owned by small and medium-sized families, and the remaining 40% are retail stores. Among these retail stores, nearly 30% of the stores did not even leave contact information or locations.
Therefore, Xu Qiuqian was able to contact only 10% of the retail investors.
Among these ten percent, some might have already left Youling City, or might not be able to be contacted, so there were only a few stores she could buy from individual investors.
In order to get rid of the An family, the Zhao family did not hesitate to let everyone on the street die along with the An family.
Times have changed. Today, many shop doors are still open, but all that can be moved out of the shops has been cleared out, leaving only dust and dried blood.
Now, except for her shop, there is no other shop in Hong'an Street.
"wrong."
She remembered that when she first woke up, there were still a few stores open and people were there.
Why is there not a single one left now? So she checked them one by one.
When she pushed the door open at the thirteenth store, she remembered that she had seen an old man in this store at the very beginning, so there should be someone there.
Unexpectedly, when I opened the door, I didn't see the old man, but instead saw a few skinny children.
When the children saw the door open, they panicked and hid.
Xu Qiuqian was stunned.
Then reacted.
These children were most likely abandoned by their parents and became homeless, so they came to this street. Since this street was abandoned, few people come here on weekdays, and even if they do, they will not go out of their way to see if there is anyone in these stores.
She walked towards the children.
The children hid quickly.
Xu Qiuqian stopped.
These kids are very vigilant. If they weren't so vigilant, they probably wouldn't be alive today.
So she didn't go any further and turned away.
It turned out that the people she thought were still staying on this street were not the real owners of the shops, but people like these children who had nowhere to go.
It doesn’t matter now, the owners of these shops won’t go out of their way to drive these people away.
But after dealing with the dark yellow gas, they could no longer stay in these stores. Thinking of those skinny children, Xu Qiuqian had an idea in his mind.
Went back to the store and went to the backyard.
Li Shiqian was practicing in the spirit gathering array, so Xu Qiuqian had to go to the kitchen by herself.
The last pancake was eaten by her last time, so I have to make food myself.
After hesitating for a moment, he tried to put the firewood under the stove and then lit it.
"Cough cough cough cough..." The burning cigarette made Xu Qiuqian cough continuously, "Why, cough cough, why is there so much smoke? Cough cough cough..."
Li Shiqian, who was practicing in the study, finally frowned and opened her eyes when she heard the smell of smoke and burning.
When he came to the kitchen, he looked at everything in front of him in shock. The whole kitchen was full of smoke and the spirit beast meat in the pot was burnt. Xu Qiuqian kept coughing and he didn't know when a lot of dust got on his face. He looked like a tabby cat.
"Manager, what are you doing?!"
Xu Qiuqian was extremely embarrassed.
"Ahem, I, I wanted to make something to eat, I don't know why it turned out like this."
She spoke hesitantly, standing there at a loss as to what to do, a rare look of embarrassment appearing on her cat-like face.
Li Shiqian burst into laughter with a "puff". She wanted to hold it back but couldn't, "Hahahahahahaha cough cough hahaha..."
I accidentally inhaled the smoke when I laughed, so I coughed while laughing, which was very painful.
Xu Qiuqian was so embarrassed that she even wanted to dig a hole in the ground and bury herself.
"Stop laughing! Cough cough cough"
She laughed too loudly! Finally, Li Shiqian laughed enough and the tears in her eyes disappeared.
"Ahem, let's go out first."
Xu Qiuqian responded quickly and the two of them came into the store.
"Manager, why didn't you call me?"
"I just wanted to disturb you because you were practicing."
Li Shiqian was helpless: "Since I have already agreed with the store manager, whenever you want to eat, just let me make it, no need to worry about me."
She really didn't expect that Xu Qiuqian would get herself into this state just because she didn't want to disturb her while she was practicing.
After all, she thought that even though the other party only had such a small grocery store, he was familiar with Mr. Xiao Qi.
That means the other party is definitely not an ordinary person.
Absolutely mature and steady, able to plan and strategize.
It seems now.
She didn't know whether he was mature and steady, or a master of strategy... Thinking of Xu Qiuqian's behavior just now, at least facing such a cat-like face, she couldn't tell.
"It's not that I want to eat."
"Who is that?"
So Xu Qiuqian told Li Shiqian what he had just seen.
"If they don't eat something, they will probably starve to death."
Li Shiqian was stunned.
"So you got yourself into this state just to get them something to eat?"
"Yes, I thought of getting them some spirit beast meat to eat, which can also be used as a tonic."
Although spiritual energy is of little use to mortals without spiritual roots, it can prolong life as long as one consumes it regularly, and eating it occasionally can also nourish the body.
"But they are just mortals and have no spiritual roots." Li Shiqian had a complicated expression.
No one cares about a mortal child without spiritual roots, or an abandoned child.
Xu Qiuqian nodded.
"I know, but they are children and cubs."
Since it was a cub and she saw it, there was no reason for her to just sit there and do nothing.
Compassion for the weak, this is her instinct as a general of the Interstellar Alliance, and it is also the basic quality that every alliance soldier must possess! (End of this chapter)
