Chapter 21



The appearance of the constables quickly brought the scene under control.

Because of the variable Lu Changge, the group was unable to evacuate in time.

Soon, all the traffickers hiding in the crowd were caught.

The children who were hidden by them at the scene were all found with the help of the surrounding people and the carpet search by all the detectives.

Among them was the youngest son of the magistrate of neighboring Yangcheng County.

As a key figure in solving the case, Lu Changge received a reward from the government.

The amount is not much, a total of six hundred taels.

Among them, four hundred taels were sent by the magistrate of Yangcheng County.

The incident with the human trafficker also served as a warning to Lu Changge.

There is danger all the time.

When the drought ended, floods occurred, plagues occurred, and wars occurred, the social order became even more chaotic.

Lu Changge is now considering whether he should find a place deep in the mountains and forests to live in seclusion with his family.

Stay away from the crowd and stay away from trouble.

But after thinking about it, I decided to forget it.

He himself can accept a secluded life, but his wife and children may not be able to.

However, after this incident, Xiaotuanzi was depressed for several days.

People were also scared.

Whenever he goes out, he has to rely on his father, for fear that some bad guy will jump out and snatch him away.

Sometimes I have nightmares at night and wake up crying.

Fortunately, Tuanzi is still young and has a bad memory.

After being coaxed by my dad and mom for a few days and being taken to various fun places, I gradually forgot about this matter.

After coaxing Tuanzi and his wife into submission, Lu Changge began to purchase supplies for the winter.

The first is silver carbon, which is essential for heating in winter.

My wife is due to give birth in December, and silver carbon will be used to boil and warm milk for our baby.

The second is cotton-padded clothes and quilts.

After buying these, Lu Changge continued shopping with his wife and children.

As I was walking, I suddenly saw a clothing store with a very modern style.

At this moment, the protagonist detector given by the system before rang.

[Ding Ding Ding - The protagonist of the storybook world is detected in front, and the protagonist's basic information begins to be scanned... Ding - Insufficient energy, unable to scan. ]

[Insufficient energy? System, what's going on?] Lu Changge frowned.

[Ahem... I forgot to tell the host that this detector is free to use for the first time, and it will require energy to use afterwards.] The system said somewhat awkwardly.

[Where does the energy come from?]

[Sign in or do a task.]

[Do you have any other tasks to do with a sign-in system?]

Seeing the surprise in the host's eyes, the system felt that its own integrity was insulted.

[Why can't the sign-in system have tasks? Don't look down on me!]

[Okay, tell me about it.]

[It means... helping to resolve various disasters. For every disaster that is resolved safely, I will receive 20% of the energy.] The system explained.

Worried that the host would not value this 20% of energy, the system replenished it.

[Host, don't underestimate this little bit of energy. With it, I can help you recover your abilities, and I can also charge the detector to use it twice more.]

[oh.]

Lu Changge responded and manually blocked the system, using his actions to explain his meaning.

System: “…”

So what it said before was just in vain?

Lu Changge didn't take the system's words to heart.

He is not a savior, he just wants to take care of his own land.

"This shop is so unique." It was the first time that Su Qingyun saw a shop with such a strange style, and there was some curiosity in her eyes.

"Want to go in and take a look?" Lu Changge asked with his head down.

"OK."

When we walked in, we found that the layout inside the shop was even more different.

The walls are hung with neatly packed ready-made clothes, allowing for a clear view.

There is a circular counter in the middle, with neatly stacked clothes on top and various fabrics placed underneath.

There were cashier counters on both sides of the entrance and exit. Su Qingyun saw several people who had already picked out their clothes taking them to pay.

In addition, there is a clothing alteration area in the corner.

If you really like the look of the clothes but the size is not suitable, you can take it to them and ask them to alter it.

Su Qingyun took her husband for a walk inside, but they didn't buy anything.

"Don't like it?" Lu Changge asked in a low voice.

"There are too many clothes at home and the closet can't hold them all." Su Qingyun shook her head.

The main thing is that the clothes here are expensive and you won’t be able to count the cost if you buy them.

Although their family is not short of money, they spend money wisely.

"Go check out the winter clothes?"

"Where is it?" Su Qingyun just looked around but couldn't find the winter clothes.

"Second floor." Lu Changge pointed to the wooden sign in the corner.

There is a small door over there, and inside is the stairs.

The waiter nearby heard their conversation and led them upstairs with a tactful look.

The layout of the second floor is similar to that of the first floor, except that there is an additional raw material area.

Lu Changge saw something familiar in the materials area and walked over with his wife.

Following her husband, Su Qingyun naturally saw the white fluffy object in a basket.

"What is this?" Su Qingyun reached out and touched it. It felt soft.

"Yangyang! Maomao!" Little Tuanzi pointed at it and seemed like he wanted to touch it too.

"This is called cotton. Our boss planted the seeds he brought back from a distant country. This year's new winter clothes in our store are filled with this kind of cotton." The waiter at the side hurried over to explain.

Then he added: "The finished product is here. The three guests can come and take a look."

Su Qingyun looked up at her husband and asked silently.

"Go and have a look."

The couple followed with their child in their arms, and helped the waiter pick out various styles of winter clothes and trousers.

However, Lu Changge's height of 1.9 meters is rare here, so there are no suitable clothes.

"All of our finished products here are one size fits all. The styles that are suitable for your husband and children are all here. Customers can try them on."

"Daddy, bunny ears!" Little Dumpling pointed at the bunny ears jacket on top and said excitedly.

Perhaps it’s because the owner of this store is a time traveler, so he knows how to capture the minds of children and women.

The child's coat has a hood with some animal ears on it.

Or embroider some cute little animals on your clothes.

Lu Changge put the dumpling down and let him choose.

And he followed his wife.

Little Tuanzi made her choice and put it on with the help of the waiter.

As soon as the hat was put on, the long rabbit ears drooped down. Little Dumpling touched his ears, his little face flushed.

"Daddy and Mom, this looks so beautiful!" Tuanzi grabbed the rabbit ears with his little hands and ran to his dad and mom.

Finally, Lu Changge bought two sets of winter clothes for his wife and son.

This winter clothing is of good quality, but it is also really expensive.

However, Lu Changge doesn't lack this little money.

After buying clothes, Su Qingyun learned that cotton could be purchased separately here, so she asked her husband to buy a large bag of cotton.

I plan to make him a set when I get back.

But unfortunately, there is no cashmere or duck down here, otherwise Su Qingyun would like to buy some.

In addition to buying ready-made clothes, Lu Changge and Su Qingyun also picked out some suitable fabrics.

After all, in the next three years or so, even if I wanted to buy more, I would have no time and no place to buy, so I had to buy all at once this time.

The baby's diapers need to be recut, but as for clothes, he can wear the ones left by his brother.

After paying the money, they had the items delivered to the inn where they were staying as usual, and then Lu Changge continued to stroll downstairs with his wife and children.

When I walked to the street near the pier, a fishy smell of seafood wafted over.

Lu Changge looked down at his wife and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she was not feeling unwell.

Just when he was about to take everyone away, he didn't expect Su Qingyun's eyes to be fixed on the bucket of shrimps next to him.

"Husband..." Su Qingyun pointed to the lively shrimps in a bucket not far away.

Finally, Lu Changge bought the bucket of shrimps and a few fish next to it.

After staying in the city for six or seven days, Lu Changge bought all the supplies he needed and had very little money left in his wallet.

After shopping and having enough fun, it’s time to go home.

On the last day of August, Lu Changge and his family left the city and returned to Lijia Village.

The return journey took another two days.

On the afternoon of the first day of September, Lu Changge and his group returned to the small mountain village.

However, before he reached the door of his home, Lu Changge heard Da Teng complaining to him.

[Master, there's a thief in our house. The chicken coop and barn have been broken into.] Da Teng saw the master coming back from a distance and quickly complained to him.

However, because of the distance, Xiaotuanzi couldn't hear it.

Otherwise he would have shouted out loud long ago.

[Do you know who it is?]

When Lu Changge, who was sitting outside the carriage, heard this, his face instantly darkened and he looked even more terrifying.

At the very least, the villagers passing by didn't dare to greet him and quickly hid aside.

I don’t know what bad things happened to Lu Orion outside that made him look so unhappy.

If I go back and find my house has been robbed...

The villagers nearby didn't dare to think any further, looked at each other and left quickly.

[The ones who came to steal the chickens were some hooligans from the village. The men who broke the lock of the warehouse had only come to the village in the past few days. By the way, they probably have killed someone.] Da Teng added.

Hearing the latter sentence, Lu Changge's pupils shrank.

Anger welled up from the bottom of my heart.

He didn't dare to think about what his wife and children would face if they didn't go to the capital with him.

Even though they were protected by Otogi and Nitogi, the fear they felt was real.

[Where are they now?]

[At Lin Qingrou's house, the day after you left, a man, a woman and a teenager came to the woman's house. Those men should be the bodyguards they brought with them.] Da Teng guessed.

Great, it's her again!
