Chapter 9 Stockpiling. There are three kinds of time in space
Li Qing was already used to her simplicity. He made an OK gesture with his right hand and was about to leave.
"Wait, what happened to your arm?"
The moment he raised his hand, Chu An realized something was wrong.
Li Qing hurriedly held his right hand and said with a sly smile, "I fell off my bike."
The eyesight of more than four years in the last days is no joke, "You know you can't fool me."
"I believe in your brother Qing, there will be absolutely no problem. Your brother Qing is loved by the middle-aged and elderly women who burn incense and worship Buddha in Wawa Village. There are gods and Buddhas in the sky to bless me."
Chu An took a deep breath. He knew without any guessing that it was related to the Li family. In the previous life, all the members of the Li family fled to the south, and no one knew whether they were dead or alive.
After quickly searching the memories before the end of the previous life, he found some clues and asked, "I heard that Lao Wai kidnapped another group of children and lost one. Does this have anything to do with you?"
Li Qing's face froze for a moment, and he opened his mouth several times but no words came out.
Just when Chu An was losing his patience, he heard his hoarse voice, "Xiao An, that child is only 4 years old, a soft ball, with two big watery eyes, it makes people feel distressed at a glance."
He gritted his teeth and said, "The Li family is nothing."
The Li family runs an orphanage, and they actually find some abandoned children to defraud government subsidies. However, most of the abandoned children have problems, and they are hard to sell or raise, so they start to target the good children, either by robbing or stealing them, and then raising them in the orphanage and then reselling them.
In recent years, a partner appeared out of nowhere and liked to watch children fighting like mad dogs. They used food to lure and force to threaten children under ten years old to fight in cages. The process was very cruel and bloody.
It is difficult for ordinary people to imagine how such a thing could happen in a society ruled by law in the 21st century.
Four years ago, an undercover agent died here. Rumor has it that the undercover agent's body was tortured beyond recognition.
Director Li of the Dongcheng Branch was furious. He ignored the opposition from above and assembled thousands of police officers to search the urban village for three days and three nights. In the end, he only arrested some prostitutes and gamblers.
"If you don't want to talk about the details, I won't force you." Chu An knew that he was doing this for his own good. "But I heard that Lao Liu has been getting close to Lao Wai from the orphanage recently. No matter what conflicts you and Lao Liu had in the past, you two are now Li Lao Er's people. No matter what happens, it is your internal matter. Isn't it a bit unethical for him to curry favor with Lao Wai?"
Li Qing's eyes rolled and his brows showed joy.
Lao Liu had always been resentful of the embezzlement of public funds, and when he accidentally saw him release the little baby, he wanted to make a fuss about it. He was smart enough to know that Li Lao Er would not take care of business matters, so he secretly told Lao Wai.
Lao Wai didn't dare to report the loss of the child, and was worried about what to do. Instigated by Lao Liu, he found people to block Li Qing every day to ask for the child, and if he couldn't get the child, he would secretly take action.
In the urban village, Li Qing's current status is similar to Lao Wai's, or even a little higher, just because he has more subordinates.
But this time, he messed with the orphanage, which was considered "prying into the underworld" and he would be severely punished.
In the past few days, Lao Wai threatened him that he would take the Koi back, otherwise it would be useless. The Koi was borrowed from Lao Wai, so he couldn't ignore the child's safety.
He was already feeling guilty and was a little confused. He just thought that Lao Wai didn't dare to expose the matter to the public, so hiding was the best way. He was just about to take Koi to the south.
Now, after Chu An's reminder, he understood it again. Lao Wai's information came from Lao Liu's mouth, and there was no real evidence. In their line of work, if you pry into someone's business, you will be beaten three times and six times, but there are even more serious things than that, that is, betrayal.
"Xiao An, I understand."
Lao Liu and Lao Wai colluded secretly, and no one can escape this time.
After Li Qing left, Chu An tidied up the house, put away the things that could be used in the future, and put away the things that couldn't be used... There was nothing that couldn't be used, as long as there was space, so he put them all away.
After cleaning the house, I opened a shopping app and looked at it for a while before closing it again. I had to find a place to live first, otherwise so many express deliveries sent from the urban village would arouse suspicion.
The new residence must not only be tall but also sturdy.
In the previous life, a rainstorm submerged the entire village in the city. Li Qing took her to a hotel in the west city, settled her down, and then hurried back. He never saw her again.
I opened the house rental website and locked onto the high-lying Xicheng area. After two hours of searching, I finally chose Qingrun Apartment. The developer is a large state-owned enterprise, and its reputation ranks No. 1 in China.
It is located at the northwest corner of the intersection, which will make travel very convenient in the future.
The apartment is divided into two buildings, Building A and Building B. Each building has 11 floors and 12 households on each floor. The apartment is a loft, and the available space is twice as large as that of an ordinary house.
Due to its remote location and the fact that the property was handed over less than a year ago, the occupancy rate is less than 50%. There are still many empty shops on the first floor, and you can rent one to receive goods.
Since I didn't have much money, I booked a small apartment of 43 square meters on the top floor of Building A. The two floors together cover 86 square meters. The monthly rent is 2,000 yuan, with a minimum lease term of three months.
The shop downstairs is rented on an annual basis, starting at 60,000 yuan a year, so it is not suitable to rent it for a year. I will decide on the shop when I go to see the house tomorrow at noon. Then, I will complete the shopping list I wrote during the day.
After finishing the list, it was already past twelve o'clock. I yawned, washed up, and went to bed.
In her dream, she entered the space of her previous life, where a stream separated the vast land and the boundless iron warehouse.
The end of the land and the warehouse on both sides were hidden in the mist, and even the two ends of the stream could not be seen.
She first looked around the warehouse. It was three stories high and she couldn't tell its length and width. Facing her was the only entrance. There was no door, and it was pitch black inside so she couldn't see anything.
The warehouse was about thirty meters away from the stream. On the left side of the warehouse was a small maple forest. The leaves were as red as blood, and the maple fragrance was everywhere.
The tree at the head is the thickest, with a trunk that requires at least three or four adults to hug. Its branches extend to the creek and the warehouse, like a proud leader.
On the right is ordinary green grass, which is more lush near the stream, with a few shrubs and some plants whose names I can't remember. Looking further ahead, there is a continuous mountain range, with the peak hidden in the mist.
Turning around and looking at the black soil, my first impression was that it was hundreds of hectares, but because the edge was hidden in the fog, I didn’t know if I could see farther if I walked to the border.
I walked along the creek towards the maple forest for a while. The widest part of the creek was more than three meters, and the narrowest part was less than half a meter. The deepest part was one meter, and the shallowest part was only up to the ankle. No matter how deep or shallow, the water was crystal clear.
I squatted down and touched the stream water. It was a little cold, and I didn't see any living creatures in it. There was only sand and gravel at the bottom of the stream and pebbles that had been washed into various shapes.
