Chapter 68: The Evil of the Zhao Family (XIV)
Finally, after cleaning up the kitchen, Li Shiqian prepared the meal in no time.
It has rich aura, color, aroma and taste.
Xu Qiuqian swallowed, her eyes glued to the food that Li Shiqian brought out.
"The small kitchen has some left for the manager." Li Shiqian said helplessly.
She now believed that Xu Qiuqian helped her simply because of the food she cooked.
Xu Qiuqian's eyes lit up and she hurried to the small kitchen, but stopped after taking two steps.
"I'll go with you."
Anyway, you can eat the food anytime in the kitchenette.
The two of them came to the store where the children lived. They didn't know if it was because Xu Qiuqian had been there, but when they entered the store again, they didn't see the children.
"Manager, what should I do?"
"Just put it on the ground and see if they will eat it."
Li Shiqian responded by putting the food on the ground, and the two left.
Seeing that the two had indeed left, the children who had hidden in other stores carefully returned to their original store.
When they saw the fragrant and delicious food on the ground, they could hear the sound of swallowing their saliva. Several people's stomachs growled wildly, but no one rushed forward to grab the food. Instead, they looked at the eldest child.
The little boy looked about ten years old and was very thin.
"Give it to your sister first." the little boy said.
No one else had any objection.
So the little boy turned and walked into the store and picked up a baby from the corner.
The baby's condition seemed a little better than the other children, but only a little.
The baby was very quiet and didn't make any noise at all. When he saw the little boy, he immediately smiled and stretched out his chubby little hands to grab him.
The little boy also laughed, "Good sister."
When the baby was taken out, the baby seemed to smell the fragrance, and leaned over curiously to take a look, with saliva flowing out. The little boy still did not feed the baby directly.
Instead, he drank a mouthful of the spiritual porridge first.
After confirming that it was spiritual porridge and had no poison, he carefully blew it cool before feeding it to the baby.
The baby had never eaten such delicious porridge before, and he couldn't wait to swallow it down. Before he finished eating, his mouth opened again. The little boy fed him in a hurry. Seeing this, the other children also focused their attention on the baby.
Babies eat very little.
The little boy was only fed some spiritual porridge, and after eating, the baby fell asleep sweetly.
Only then did the little boy give the baby to another girl who was two years younger than him.
He divided the remaining food into five even portions and held the baby back in his arms.
"Eat it."
The other children took their own portions, tacitly gave a small portion to the little boy, and then began to eat it voraciously.
The little boy looked at the people wolfing down their food, and an unspeakable cry of grief rose in his heart.
He knew that the food might be poisonous, but he couldn't stop them because they had been hungry for too long and would starve to death if they didn't eat.
If these meals are really poisonous, just treat them as a good meal before you die.
Well, they've managed to survive this long.
Even if we die, we die together.
After the little girl next to her finished eating, she took the baby over.
"Brother Yu, eat quickly."
The little boy responded and ate it without hesitation.
When the meat of the spiritual beast enters the mouth, one will feel a rich spiritual energy filling the body.
tasty!
He had never eaten such delicious food before! After all, the little boy was only ten years old, and he wolfed down the food.
After dinner, the children lay on the ground drowsy, but the little boy kept his eyes open.
He felt very uncomfortable and couldn't sleep.
Although many things in the past had become blurred in his mind, he suddenly remembered that when his parents were still alive, they taught him how to draw energy into the body.
I simply stood up, sat cross-legged and closed my eyes.
The other side.
Xu Qiuqian felt relieved when she heard Li Shiqian say that the children all lay on the ground and fell asleep after dinner.
"Let's go."
The two returned to the store.
Xu Qiuqian couldn't wait to go to the small kitchen in the backyard.
Thinking that she would soon be able to eat the food she had been longing for, she couldn't help swallowing her saliva. Looking at Xu Qiuqian's appearance, Li Shiqian couldn't help but laugh.
Her impression of the store manager.
From being mature, steady and sophisticated at the beginning to gradually collapsing now.
And her tense nerves relaxed unconsciously.
"I don't leave much for you. If it's not enough, tell me and I'll make you some more."
Xu Qiuqian waved her hands quickly.
"No, it's just to satisfy your craving. It's not meal time."
Otherwise you won’t be able to eat when it’s time to eat.
However, when the two went to the small kitchen, they found that the food that Li Shiqian had left for Xu Qiuqian was gone!
"What's going on?" Xu Qiuqian was confused. "Didn't they say there was food left for me?"
Li Shiqian was also confused.
"Yes, I did."
"Then why didn't I see it?"
“…Could it be that someone ate it?”
Xu Qiuqian shook her head: "This store has a defense system, no one else can get in, and I have also set up this backyard, no one except the store manager and the staff can come in!"
After saying that, Xu Qiuqian remembered something.
She hurried to Yun Yi's room and found that Yun Yi was gone from the bed. She ran back to the study in the backyard and saw Yun Yi sitting cross-legged in the spirit gathering array in the study. She breathed a sigh of relief.
Yun Yi had just entered into a state of meditation.
When he sensed someone was around, he opened his eyes, his eyes lit up, and he stood up and walked towards Xu Qiuqian.
"Manager!"
Xu Qiuqian patted Yun Yi's head: "It's good that you woke up."
Yun Yi couldn't help it and reached out to hug Xu Qiuqian. Xu Qiuqian hugged Yun Yi back naturally. Li Shiqian stood quietly by.
After a while, Xu Qiuqian pushed Yun Yi away.
“You eat the food in the kitchen.”
"Yeah, wasn't it left for me?" Yun Yi looked confused.
"…It's left for you." Xu Qiuqian smiled.
Yun Yi reacted and said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, Manager. I was so hungry when I woke up. I wanted to make it myself, but I smelled the food left in the kitchen. I thought it was left for me, so I couldn't help but eat it."
"It's okay, just eat it and do it again."
"Hmm! By the way, Manager, who made that meal? It smells so good and tastes so good! It's even better than what we had at that restaurant a few days ago!"
Xu Qiuqian discovered that after Yun Yi woke up this time, he seemed much more cheerful and lively than before.
This is a good thing.
She smiled and introduced Li Shiqian next to her: "Let me introduce you, this is Madam Li, she used to be a cook at Tao Lingwan, and now she's a clerk in our store. What you just ate was made by her."
Yun Yi looked at Li Shiqian, and lowered his head in panic when he thought of how hurried he was at the moment.
"S-Sorry, I didn't scare you, did I? I didn't mean to..."
"It's okay, don't be scared. I've seen worse cases than this." Li Shiqian comforted him. Because of Yun Yi's praise for her cooking just now, she also had a very good feeling towards Yun Yi.
Yun Yi looked up cautiously, and when he saw that Li Shiqian really didn't care, he looked relieved.
Then he lowered his eyes, and a hint of darkness flashed across his eyes.
