Chapter 26 The two of them started washing up as soon as they got back…
The two of them started washing up as soon as they got back. After not washing up for so many days, both Liu Qingyue and Qin Ren were going crazy.
Qin Ren took a shower first, and then went to town to pick up the package.
When he came back last time, he took the time to buy a lot of things.
Ten days have passed, and those packages have long since arrived.
Because the manager of the town's post station knew Qin Ren, and Qin Ren's package hadn't been picked up for a long time, the manager didn't return it to him.
The other party sorted out Qin Ren's packages and then piled them all up in their home.
Seeing that Qin Ren had finally come to collect it, the administrator couldn't help but tease him.
"Are you planning to open a general store back in your hometown by buying so many packages?"
He can see what Qin Ren has bought.
Qin Ren said nonchalantly, "When I was scrolling through short videos before, I saw some people saying that the world was going to end, so I couldn't help but follow the trend and buy a bunch of things."
Most of the things he bought were outdoor survival supplies.
The food I bought was mostly compressed biscuits and canned meat.
He said it like that, and the other party didn't find it strange.
Upon hearing this, the administrator couldn't help but chuckle.
"You, a college student, actually believe this? These people, just to sell their stuff, keep talking about the end of the world and wars every now and then. A few years ago, my father-in-law believed it and bought more than a dozen boxes of compressed biscuits. When I was helping him tidy up his things, I found they were almost expired, so my wife and I secretly threw them all away for him. Haha, but unexpectedly, last month he went crazy and bought a lot more online."
While complaining to Qin Ren, the other party helped Qin Ren load all his packages into his car.
"By the way, are you not leaving this time? Have you thought about what you want to do after that?"
He had also heard that Grandma Qin Ren had left him some gold.
Chen Yangxuan helped exchange that piece of gold for seventy or eighty thousand yuan.
Seventy or eighty thousand seems like a lot, but in reality, it doesn't cost that much.
Qin Ren still hasn't gotten married, so those seventy or eighty thousand yuan are simply not enough for him.
Qin Ren said, "I haven't thought about it yet. I'll think about it carefully after my injuries have healed."
"That's true, your health is more important, you must take good care of it. And your face, you'd better try to buy some scar-removing cream."
"It's nothing for a grown man like me to have a few scars on my face."
"That's not right. These days, a man's looks are very important. You know my neighbor, Xiao Wu? He's not even as good-looking as you. I heard he hooked up with a rich woman through live streaming. Now he's just lazing around at home all day, and he only does one live stream now and that's enough to live off for half a year. If you ask me, with your good looks and long legs, why don't you try live streaming too? Even if you don't become a big star, you can still find a rich girlfriend based on your looks."
Qin Ren hadn't expected this uncle to be so trendy and open-minded than he had imagined, actually encouraging him to rely on his looks to marry a rich woman in the future.
Actually...on closer inspection, it's not entirely impossible.
Qin Ren didn't say that he actually started live streaming to hook up with rich women.
He meant that he made a fortune by buying and selling in ancient times.
He can then come back and tell everyone that he found a rich woman in the city.
That way, even if he doesn't go out to work in the future, he'll still have money to spend, and he'll have a reason to do so.
Of course, this would definitely damage his reputation and might even affect his chances of finding a wife.
Oh well, never mind. He hasn't made a lot of money yet, so let's think about that later.
After Qin Ren picked up the package, he didn't go back immediately.
He ran out of eggs at home, so he needs to buy some more meat.
Nowadays, he travels to ancient times every day, walking very far on foot, which consumes a lot of his physical strength.
Also, he needs to recuperate now, so he can't skimp on food and drink.
Qin Ren first went to the supermarket and bought 100 eggs, then went to the slaughterhouse and bought two chickens, two pigeons, 50 jin of pork, and 20 jin of beef.
Then, on his way out of town, he met a relative of the Qin family, who gave him a few ears of fresh corn.
Qin Ren returned with a lot of stuff, while Liu Qingyue had just finished taking a shower.
Qin Ren was sorting through packages in the yard, while Liu Qingyue was drying her hair inside the house.
The two of them were busy with their own things, and soon it was noon.
Qin Ren was a little tired, so he didn't make lunch.
He ordered takeout and waited for it while tidying up his things in the yard.
They also have food delivery services in their town, but the variety of options isn't as extensive as in the county or city.
However, some of the usual items, such as milk tea, fried chicken, and barbecue, are also available.
Qin Ren ordered braised pork; there's a braised pork place in their town that's pretty good.
He used to eat it often when he was a child, and now, so many years later, the braised meat shop is much bigger than before.
Delivery in town takes a while, so Qin Ren packed his things and, seeing that it was still early, went to the kitchen to cook a pot of white rice and boiled the few ears of corn.
By the time the rice was cooked and the corn was done, his takeout finally arrived.
Qin Ren picked up the takeout and went to the kitchen with Liu Qingyue to eat.
Liu Qingyue had a small appetite; he only ate half an ear of corn, half a bowl of white rice, two pieces of pig's head meat, and a pig's trotter.
Qin Ren ate the rest of the blade.
After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Qin Ren asked while clearing away the dishes, "Is there anything you want?"
Liu Qingyue was wiping the table when she heard this and stopped what she was doing.
"What?"
"I'm going to buy something later, is there anything you want?"
If he needs anything, Qin Ren can buy it for him.
The package should arrive by the time they return next time.
Liu Qingyue thought about it seriously, "I... I don't know what I need?"
After he finished tidying up the table, he saw Qin Ren turn on his phone and curiously went over to him.
"Is this where you buy things?"
"Yes, you can take a look and see if there's anything you want?"
As Qin Ren spoke, he added items to the shopping cart while looking at Liu Qingyue, waiting for his reply.
Looking at the various things on Qin Ren's phone screen, Liu Qingyue looked like a country bumpkin who had never seen the world.
He pointed to something on top and asked, "What is this?"
"Hand-cranked radio".
What about this one?
"This is called a headlamp."
"Then, then this?"
"First aid kit."
"this?"
"Fire blanket."
...
"I don't even know what these things are, and I don't know what I need."
Seeing this, Qin Ren changed his search term, and the items on the phone screen immediately changed to things that Liu Qingyue was interested in.
Liu Qingyue pointed to an item on the table and said, "I know this one, it's a hairpin, it's so pretty!"
"Do you want it?"
"May I?"
"It's very cheap, I can buy it for you if you want."
The hairpin that Liu Qingyue had her eye on only cost a little over forty yuan, which Qin Ren could afford.
Liu Qingyue: "Then... I'll pay you back for all the things you bought for me when I find my parents."
Qin Ren nodded, seemingly unconcerned.
Seeing this, Liu Qingyue stopped being polite to him.
He leaned on the table next to Qin Ren, resting his chin on his hand and directing Qin Ren to flip over.
"This one looks good too."
"Then let's buy this one too."
"No, no, I can't wear that many, and these styles are too flashy."
Qin Ren was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, and then looked at Liu Qingyue with a puzzled expression.
When Liu Qingyue first took a liking to the hairpin, Qin Ren thought he was buying it for his mother or other female relatives.
When Qin Ren heard Liu Qingyue say that he wanted to wear it, he felt a little strange.
"Aren't you a man? Why would a man wear a flower hairpin?"
Liu Qingyue was startled by these words, but he quickly regained his composure and said, "Men in our area also wear flowers in their hair."
Upon hearing this, Qin Ren thought about it and realized it was indeed true; it seemed that ancient literati and scholars often wore flowers in their hair.
"Okay, I'll buy you these two first."
As he spoke, Qin Ren added the items to his shopping cart, preparing to pay for them together with the previous items.
Seeing that the purchase was completed so quickly, Liu Qingyue couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
He just saw an even prettier one, and he's thinking of buying the one below.
But considering that Qin Ren had become suspicious, he dared not continue making his selections.
Oh dear, I should have known he wouldn't have played a man.
In the afternoon, Qin Ren prepared some supplies and went to the ancient world alone again.
He didn't continue to take Liu Qingyue with him, somewhat worried that the road ahead would be even more difficult.
He can go alone, which will allow him to travel faster and more safely.
Qin Ren was gone for five days, and five days later, it started to drizzle in the modern world.
Liu Qingyue sat in the courtyard, listening to the sound of rain falling on the awning, feeling a little worried about Qin Ren's situation.
Then, just as he was worrying, Qin Ren came out from the basement.
As soon as Qin Ren saw him, he said, "Get ready, we'll go together in a bit."
Upon hearing this, Liu Qingyue dared not delay and quickly got up to go to her room to change her clothes.
When Qin Ren came back last time, he received several sets of ancient costumes in the package.
In the past, the north was quite chaotic, so it didn't matter if they dressed a little strangely.
Now that they are gradually moving south, they have to pay more attention to their clothing.
The two of them wore thermal underwear underneath, and then put on newly bought ancient-style clothes on top, but they still wore sneakers.
Ancient shoes were not as comfortable for walking as these athletic shoes.
Once they reach a larger town, they can change into ancient shoes then.
Once they were ready, the two entered the passage together.
When Liu Qingyue came out of the passage, she found that Qin Ren had already emerged from the mountainous area.
Upon seeing this, Liu Qingyue couldn't help but exclaim happily, "Great! We're finally out!"
Qin Ren: "Yes, I came out the night before last, but unfortunately I couldn't find the door, which is why I was delayed for two more days."
"Did you meet anyone? Did you encounter any danger?"
"Instead of meeting a human, we met a wolf with eyes bloodshot with hunger."
Upon hearing that he had encountered wolves, Liu Qingyue couldn't help but feel a little scared.
Are you injured?
Qin Ren: "No, I only encountered one wolf, which was so hungry that it was skin and bones. I scared it away with a stun gun."
To be honest, Qin Ren was indeed startled when he suddenly saw a wolf.
It was already dark when Qin Ren used a flashlight to light his way forward.
There was no sign of human habitation along the way; the entire mountain was so dark it felt suffocating, with only strange bird calls all around.
Then, out of the blue, he saw a wolf at an intersection.
The wolf was very thin, just skin and bones.
It sat there quietly, and the light suddenly shone on its face, illuminating its pair of bright green eyes.
To be honest, that moment was a little scary; it felt like I'd encountered a ghost.
They hadn't encountered any wild animals along the way.
Because of the famine in the north, even wild animals that were encountered on the road were caught and eaten.
As they gradually moved south, food became more plentiful along the way, so people stopped risking their lives to hunt wild animals. Naturally, there were more wild animals in the wild, and the roads in the wild became more dangerous.
