Chapter 6 Thinking this, Qin Ren lifted his foot from the ground…
With that thought in mind, Qin Ren stepped out of the basement.
He removed the bread and instant noodle packaging and wrapped them in a regular transparent plastic bag.
Then he went to his room and found an unused crossbody bag.
The crossbody bag is for men and looks a bit like a sports backpack.
Qin Ren stuffed the food inside, then went to his grandfather's room and found a stun gun.
He bought two stun guns, one large and one small.
Yesterday he took the big one, and he gave the thief the small one. The two were about the same in terms of lethality, but the big one was much heavier than the small one.
Qin Ren thought that since the little thief was so weak, giving him a small one would not only reduce the weight, but also make it easier for him to hide the stun gun on his body.
Just as he was carrying the prepared items, intending to take them to the basement, he paused and went to the kitchen instead.
He took a bottle of mineral water from the kitchen and tore off the label as he did so.
Whether it's the labels on bottled water or the packaging of bread or instant noodles, there are modern characters that don't belong to that era.
In order not to cause trouble for the thief, and also to protect the secret of the passageway, Qin Ren still felt it was better to be careful.
After finishing all that, he took his things back to the basement.
Qin Ren said to the thief, "By the way, you still haven't answered me. What dynasty are you from?"
Liu Qingyue: "Dynasty?"
"So... what is the name of your country?"
"The country's name is Yong, but in our area it's called Da Yong."
Da Yong?
In their country's history, there was no dynasty called Da Yong; there was only a place called Yongzhou.
Qin Ren asked him two more questions, and after confirming that it was not a previous dynasty of their country, nor a previous dynasty of any other country, he couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
This isn't their ancient dynasty, meaning the two worlds are not in the same dimension. Even if the passage alters the future, it won't affect Qin Ren's country.
So even if he gives the thief a stun gun, it shouldn't have much of an impact. After all, in their world, they certainly won't find stun guns through archaeology.
Knowing that the thief didn't know how to use a stun gun, Qin Ren patiently taught him.
Qin Ren: "This thing doesn't have a constant power supply. It will run out of power after about ten uses. If you run out of power and things aren't peaceful over there yet, and you still need this thing to protect yourself, then bring it to me, and I'll charge it for you."
Liu Qingyue didn't quite understand what Qin Ren said. She only remembered two key points: the stun gun could only be used a dozen times and then it would be unusable. If she wanted to continue using it, she could come to Qin Ren.
Liu Qingyue: "I understand. If I encounter danger in the future, can I hide in the passage?"
Qin Ren: "Sure, as long as you don't interfere with my life."
This passage doesn't belong to Qin Ren, nor does it belong to Liu Qingyue; Qin Ren really can't monopolize it.
Moreover, the thief only uses the passageway and doesn't frequently visit his home, so it doesn't have a significant impact on his situation.
In the end, Qin Ren asked the thief for a gold bean, even though he knew that what the thief gave him wasn't worth a single gold bean.
However, Liu Qingyue didn't have any other currency on her, and she couldn't just give up everything.
He gave the other person food, water, and a stun gun.
Yesterday, we stayed up until the wee hours because of each other.
Also, this little thief is so stupid; if Qin Ren hadn't helped him, he probably wouldn't have figured out the key for a long time.
The fact that Qin Ren didn't take his key and was even willing to let him come to his house in the future meant that there would be a lot of trouble ahead.
He felt that accepting a single gold bean was not excessive at all.
Qin Ren: "Let's go."
Liu Qingyue nodded, then, carrying the stun gun and backpack, followed Qin Ren into the passage.
The two arrived at the temple together. Seeing that there was no danger inside, Qin Ren immediately turned around and went back.
Qin Ren was a calm and somewhat aloof person. He felt that they were from different time periods, and even if they inevitably had some contact in the future, there shouldn't be too much entanglement between them.
Of course, there was another, more important reason why Qin Ren left so decisively.
That is... he was a little worried that he would soften his heart and then suggest sending the thief to find his family.
That place was a chaotic world, and he wasn't familiar with it. Besides, he was a wounded soldier. He couldn't let the other woman's beauty cloud his judgment and put himself in danger.
As Liu Qingyue watched Qin Ren's departing figure, she wanted to shamelessly call out to him.
But remembering that he had the key and that he couldn't keep relying on others, he bravely walked slowly out of the temple alone, his eyes red.
On the other hand, after Qin Ren returned, he drove his grandfather's old man's car to town.
The roads in the countryside are relatively narrow, and the old man's car is small and very lightweight, so driving in the countryside is more convenient with an old man's car.
After Qin Ren arrived in town, he went to the town's largest supermarket.
As Qin Ren entered the supermarket to select eggs, a young man wearing sunglasses sneakily approached him.
Qin Ren sensed it without turning around, and before the other person could slap him hard on the back, he nimbly dodged the other person's hand.
The young man was speechless. "Qin Ren, you're too alert! I walk so quietly, how did you find me?"
Qin Ren didn't explain to him after hearing this, and continued to select eggs with his head down.
The young man was Qin Ren's classmate in junior high school, and the two were deskmates for a year.
The other person's name is Chen Yangxuan, and he lives in the town.
He suddenly appeared in the supermarket because he saw Qin Ren's old man's car while he was sunbathing in front of his house.
Qin Ren's grandfather often came to town to buy things, and Chen Yangxuan, as Qin Ren's junior high school classmate, would often pay more attention to the old man.
He knew that Qin Ren's grandfather had passed away, so when he saw that familiar old man's car, his first thought was that Qin Ren had returned from outside.
So he quickly hopped on his electric scooter and followed the old man to the supermarket.
He hadn't noticed Qin Ren's face at first, but when he saw the injury clearly, he couldn't help but ask in shock, "Wait, Qin Ren, what happened to your face?"
Qin Ren said calmly, "I was in a car accident by accident."
"No, you've had such bad luck lately! First Grandpa passed away, then you were in a car accident. Why don't you go to the temple in the mountains to pray?"
"No need. The car accident was my own fault. I hadn't rested well for the past few days and I was distracted while driving."
"If you were so badly injured, why didn't you stay in the city to recuperate? Why did you suddenly run back to your hometown?"
The town's hospital has limited medical capabilities; Qin Ren's condition would be better off in the city.
Qin Ren: "I sold the house in the city, so I don't have much money on me. Plus, my injuries have healed a lot, so I wanted to come back and rest."
His injury looks scary, but it's actually not a big problem.
The stitches can be removed in a few days; they can be removed at the hospital in town.
"Oh, you don't have any money on you. Shall I lend you some?"
“No need, I have enough to eat. I figured the house in my hometown is just sitting empty anyway, and it's not a good time for me to work right now. Instead of renting a place in the city to rest, I might as well come back and rest. First, it's free in my hometown, and it's more comfortable there; second, there are many people there, so if I really need anything, they can help me out.”
"That's true, it's good that you're back. Nowadays, many young people go to big cities, and I don't even have anyone to hang out with at home. It's just in time that you're back, so we can hang out together. Here's what we'll do: you go buy your things first, I'm cooking dinner at home, I'll come to your house to find you later."
Qin Ren nodded upon hearing this, and after Chen Yangxuan left, he continued to select eggs.
He bought chicken eggs and salted duck eggs first.
I bought 100 eggs and 40 salted duck eggs.
Eggs are used to supplement nutrition, and you must eat one every day.
Salted duck eggs can be used for breakfast; all you need to do is heat them up, which makes cooking much less troublesome for him.
After selecting the eggs, Qin Ren began buying vegetables and fruits.
This supermarket is the largest in their town, but it's still a bit small compared to supermarkets in the city.
The small supermarket had very few vegetables and fruits. Qin Ren wandered around the supermarket for a long time and only bought two Chinese cabbages, two baby bok choys, a few tomatoes, three cucumbers, four apples, and a pomelo.
As for meat, you definitely shouldn't buy it here.
The supermarket had very little meat, and it didn't look very fresh.
In addition, there is a small slaughterhouse in their town, and many people go there to buy meat, so supermarkets don't stock much meat anymore.
Living in the countryside has its inconveniences, but it also has its advantages.
For example, in their small town, there is not only a small slaughterhouse where you can buy the freshest meat.
In the villages below their town, there are orchards, chicken farms, duck farms, goose farms, and fish ponds of all sizes.
Since these are all raised in the village, there's no such thing as "weekly chickens" or "hormone-treated chickens"...
Whether it's chicken, duck, fish, meat, eggs, duck eggs... everything is very fresh.
Back when Qin Ren was still working in the city, several of his colleagues would always ask him to help them buy these kinds of things.
Because they asked Qin Ren for help so many times, they would send him a few small red envelopes as a token of their appreciation.
Qin Ren bought eggs and vegetables, and then bought two boxes of milk, a box of instant noodles, and a box of ham sausages at the supermarket.
Qin Ren is currently injured and cannot eat junk food.
He buys instant noodles and sausages because he's come up with a good way to make money.
After learning that the world on the thief's side was unrelated to theirs and that they were two completely independent planes, Qin Ren came up with this idea.
That is... he plans to take some supplies to the world of petty thieves to resell.
The thief's world is in chaos, a time when everything is scarce.
If Qin Ren can bring the goods over, they can be sold for a very good price.
