Chapter 45 44. Fate favors [ask for monthly ticket]
After not seeing each other for a few days, Zhou Qian looked a little tired, but when he saw Huai Yu, a smile appeared on his stiff face:
"Xiaoyu, why are you here?"
Then he looked at her 28-inch bicycle and asked in surprise, "Oh! You bought a car?"
"Yeah," Huaiyu also smiled, "I asked relatives for help."
Zhou Qian didn't ask about any relatives. Looking at Huaiyu's appearance, he knew that without reliable relatives, it would be impossible to raise such a well-behaved child.
Then he came to his senses and said with some regret: "The dates you gave me last time were not bought for a few cents, right? You can't live like this again when you are alone."
Then he laughed again: "Come, whatever you want, I'll give it to you."
Huaiyu shook his head: "Captain brother, you take care of me a lot!"
She took off the backpack and pulled out the flashlight inside: "I forgot to return this, but it still has power."
Zhou Qian actually forgot about the flashlight and thought about giving it to Huaiyu. But when he remembered that she lived in the Rose Corridor and there was no way to charge it, he had to take it silently.
After thinking for a while, he asked again, "Solar lights, do you want them? Although they can't be used on rainy days now, they are still convenient for long-term use."
Huaiyu’s eyes widened in surprise: “Hmmmm!”
Zhou Qian then laughed happily: "Okay. What else do you need? It's too far to go to the trading market. It's not convenient. It's not safe for you to buy too many things by yourself. Just tell me directly."
If Huaiyu didn't have too many things to purify, she would really want to come here to exchange them all the time, but unfortunately...
But it’s okay to do it every now and then!
So she happily counted on her fingers: "Paper and pen, lighter, shoe brush, stainless steel vegetable basin, bucket, umbrella, clothes drying rack, rope..."
After thinking for a moment, he added: "Chopping board."
She was too weak, and the multi-purpose shovel was not an axe after all, so it was difficult for her to chop out a cutting board. And cutting vegetables on the green bricks was too damaging to the blade.
These... should be more than 200 points enough, right?
But then he thought about the solar lamp and added, "If I don't have enough points, I'll come back next time to exchange it."
Zhou Qian laughed again, and his eyes softened as he looked at Huaiyu. He seemed to be able to imagine her working hard to run her own family like a little ant...
So good.
In an instant, he seemed to feel a fatherly love, and his heart softened. He wrote down the things he wanted one by one and quickly found someone to go in and exchange them.
Huaiyu looked around and asked casually, "Captain, what's wrong here?"
Zhou Qian hesitated for a moment, and seeing that she had no ability to protect herself, he whispered, "Have you been listening to the morning report? A while ago, a prisoner escaped from the Third Prison. We have been setting up defenses to close the gap, but on the second day of the heavy rain, his body suddenly appeared at the entrance of the camp."
“We are strengthening our defense for this reason.”
"Xiao Yu, don't be careless just because you live in the Rose Corridor. The fugitive was captured by someone - maybe an explorer, or maybe someone else. In any case, he was killed and placed in this camp, which proves that he was hiding nearby before."
"Luckily, he was killed. Otherwise, everyone would have been distracted by the strange movements in the surrounding mountains and forests that day. You would have been alone in the Rose Corridor, which was very dangerous."
"Remember, the Rose Corridor doesn't like conflict and bloodshed. Once provoked, it will attack everyone indiscriminately. If there is any danger, run away immediately!"
Zhou Qian spoke very carefully, his eyes full of worry. Looking at Huai Yu's confused look, he sighed:
"If it doesn't work out, you should go back to the city and live with your relatives. I think they treat you very well."
Who among ordinary relatives would give me a bicycle and dates with such a low mutation value? Huaiyu shook his head, hesitated for a moment and said:
"Don't worry, Captain. My family said I have a weak wood ability and a good affinity with plants. So if there is any danger, I can escape to the Rose Corridor. It will most likely not hurt me."
Zhou Qian was stunned. He did not have any special abilities. He was just like many other defenders, with enhanced physical fitness. After hearing this, he felt relieved:
"That's good."
Alas, the girl is so young, but her family sounds quite complicated.
However, Huaiyu couldn't help but think of Lin Xuefeng again, remembering how he carelessly crushed the head of a serious criminal, and sighed silently.
But soon, she took out a plastic bag from the backpack:
"Captain brother, this is the fried noodles I made yesterday. I'll bring you a bowl!"
“No need!” Zhou Qian didn’t know whether to laugh or cry: “Flour is so expensive now, you can eat it yourself, our food is very good…”
But Huaiyu had already clasped her hands together and looked at him pitifully: "But I want to thank you..."
Zhou Qian: …
cough.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
This look is unbearable!
He couldn't help but feel a little sad like an old father as he looked at the bag of fried noodles... maybe only two taels?
Okay, the most expensive flour on the market should be more than 30 cents per pound now? Huaiyu has a bicycle, so just take it.
He took the bag, and the logistics staff had just enthusiastically delivered some things. The silver-white solar desk lamp among them really attracted Huaiyu's attention! She was so happy that she couldn't take her eyes away.
This kind of straightforward emotion that only children can have is very contagious, and Zhou Qian also became happy: "Solar lights, shoe brushes, notebooks, two ballpoint pens, a bundle of 30 meters of plastic rope, and two 50L buckets with lids."
"And this, the heavy wooden chopping board is inconvenient for you to use, so I replaced it with a resin one."
"Five lighters, these two are windproof."
"Three stainless steel basins...it's more convenient to cook by yourself."
"The umbrella is heavy, but sturdy, and is not afraid of strong winds."
"A set of 5 clothes drying racks."
After a pause, he continued, "I've received so many things from you, so today I'll give you a thermos instead - don't worry, it's a defective item, so the score won't be high, so take it with confidence."
Buckets were stacked on top of buckets, basins were placed inside basins, and Zhou Qian deftly stuffed the things into the big backpack, making it neat and tidy, and very comfortable.
Huaiyu sighed: "My score may not be enough..."
Zhou Qian remained calm: "It won't be much, just 200 points in total. Take it first, if it's not enough, I'll give you some, and you can pay me back slowly when you have enough."
Huaiyu held the large backpack obediently. The basket was too big, and her thin arms were tucked into the wide sleeves, leaving her wrists exposed. She couldn't even hug it with her hands.
She looked down at the backpack, then at Zhou Qian. At this moment, her heart and eyes were warm.
Although life is so difficult, she is so lucky and everyone she meets is so sincere and enthusiastic.
She no longer complains about the world at all, because fate has been kind enough to her.
Facing Zhou Qian's inquiring eyes, she silently took out the bracelet and whispered, "Thank you, brother."
Update 5! The explosive update is over, 10,000 a day! Happy holidays everyone! Thank you for your support! See you tomorrow! Also, can you show Xiaoyu sister a pocket? Do you have any monthly tickets?
