I am reciting the Classic of Mountains and Seas in the interstellar
Chapter 168 Fire (first update)
Xia Chu understood and said with a smile: "Then let's go to the East District to look at houses? By the way, how much money do you have left?"
Pingqiong gritted her teeth and said, "I'll ask my mother. I gave her... eight hundred thousand yesterday."
Xia Chujian: "..."
But she was relieved when she thought that she had transferred all the small one million to her aunt.
We are all a family, and if I need money anyway, my aunt will not deny it.
As a result, after Pingqiong talked to her mother on the phone, her whole energy and energy were gone. Only when Xia Chu met did she realize that there is a difference between relatives and relatives.
Ping Qiong said with a frown on her face: "My mother said that we have many younger brothers and sisters at home, so we can't spend money randomly. If I want to buy a house, I will make more money and buy one for my younger brother..."
Xia Chujian always respects me and I respect you.
If you don't respect me, don't expect me to respect you.
So when she heard what Pingqiong's mother said, she immediately said, "Sister Cai, how much do you have left?"
Ping Qiong said: "There are only two hundred thousand left."
Xia Chujian came up with an idea and said: "Let's urge Captain Ye to collect the bounty from the hunting list. If you can share 400,000, and the total is 600,000, you can buy a second room in a good location in that community in the East District." A well-decorated house. Why not buy it right away, then write your own name and don’t let your mother know..."
Pingqiong's mind was still filled with her mother's sharp scoldings.
Over the years, growing up, she has been the eldest in the family, so everything must be kept close to her younger siblings first, and their leftovers belong to her.
After she graduated from high school, she worked outside as a cow and horse to earn money to support her family.
But the amount of money she earned, according to her mother, had nothing to do with her.
Being a clay figure also arouses the earthy nature...
Moreover, Ping Qiong was also stimulated by Xia Chujian's feat of "buying a house" today, and because she had this idea in the first place, she made up her mind to buy one for herself.
Just like Xia Chujian said, it's not like she can't afford it.
Seeing that Xia Chu was a practical person, he immediately contacted the housing agency and asked to go to the community in the East District to view a house.
Although it's still during the New Year's holiday, it's also been a week since New Year's Eve.
Except for institutions such as governments, hospitals and banks, most other companies have started to go to work.
The real estate agent that Xia Chujian contacted was randomly found on Xingwang.
She just needs to find a large and formal real estate agency first, and then choose a local agency with high ratings from the photos listed online.
She made a call and was picked up quickly.
When I heard that I wanted to see a house, I readily agreed.
The two parties agreed to meet at the entrance of the well-decorated high-end community in the East District in two hours.
The agent claimed that he would wear a black coat and formal attire, a black exotic animal fur hat, and carry a backpack with "Jiahao Agent" written on it.
They made an appointment to show Ping Qiong the house. Both of them were very happy and planned to find a restaurant to have a good meal.
At this time, it was too early to have lunch, but it was a little late to have breakfast.
Fortunately, I found a noodle shop that is open 24 hours a day. No matter whether it is breakfast, lunch or dinner, they only serve noodles.
Pingqiong said: "I haven't had breakfast yet."
Xia Chu saw him and waved: "Then let's go have breakfast."
Although she had already eaten breakfast, it did not prevent her from having a second breakfast with Ping Qiong.
On such a cold winter day, if you don't eat more, you won't be able to withstand the low temperature of 30 to 40 degrees below zero.
This restaurant is very small, with only about fifteen square meters of space and six tables.
At 9:30 in the morning, the store was full of people.
Soon, the smell of hot food floated from the back kitchen of the restaurant to the entrance of the restaurant.
Many ragged children came over after smelling the smell.
None of them dared to go in, so they just lay at the door, sniffing hard, as if smelling more fragrance would make them full.
Xia Chujian looked away a little unbearably.
Ping Qiong sat next to Xia Chujian and said, "They should all be orphans. A disciplinary officer should come over soon to take them to an orphanage run by the imperial government."
Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, two Department of Corrections flying cars fell from the sky.
Through the glass window of the restaurant, they saw several uniformed correctional officers getting off the flying car. They were all cursing and throwing the children one by one into the flying car like cargo.
Suddenly, a male correctional officer threw another child directly off the duty flying car, with a look of disgust on his face, and said: "Your vital signs are dying, the orphanage will not accept children like you, and it will be a waste of food." "
The child looked to be two or three years old at most. He was very thin and seemed to be unable to even stand.
He was covered with a dark blanket and his face was dirty. His appearance could not be seen except for his eyes, which were black and white.
Even though he was treated so roughly, he didn't show any anger to resist or fear of anger. He just opened his big innocent eyes and quietly raised his head to watch the Department of Corrections' duty speed car take the group of homeless children away.
Xia Chujian hated this look the most.
She opened the restaurant's thermal door and walked out.
"Here you go." She took out a bottle of low-grade nutrient solution from her arms and stuffed it into the child's hand.
The child's breath was indeed very weak, and it seemed that he would leave this world in the next moment.
But after Xia Chujian stuffed him with a nutrient solution, his eyes lit up.
He stared at Xia Chujian closely, with wet eyes, like a little bird that had just opened its eyes to see the world, as if he wanted to keep her appearance firmly in his heart.
This look is so heartbreaking.
Xia Chujian didn't care about his dirty hair and still rubbed his head.
The child tilted his head and smiled shyly at her, revealing a small birthmark on his neck, which looked like a red star.
A very unique birthmark.
Xia Chujian took another look, and simply gave him the remaining low-grade nutrient solution, and asked in a low voice: "...Do you have any relatives at home?"
The child's eyes darkened and he did not lower his head, but just pursed his mouth into a straight line.
In such a cold weather, once it gets dark, the temperature drops to minus 80 degrees.
Can a child of two or three years old survive alone outside?
Xia Chujian then asked the child: "...Where is your home?"
The child didn't speak, smiled at her, hugged the two tubes of nutrient solution, got up and left.
Although the small body staggers and seems to be unsteady, the pace is very fast.
Not long after, he turned the corner and disappeared from Xia Chujian's sight.
Xia Chu saw this and breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that this child must have relatives and a place to live. He just comes out to beg during the day.
Ping Qiong could see clearly through the glass window.
After Xia Chujian came back, he sighed and said, "This child is so young, how can his family be willing to let him go out to beg alone?"
She remembered that when she was a child, she had nothing to eat, so her aunt went out to beg...
Ping Qiong seemed to have remembered something, and her eyes dimmed.
Seeing her sudden silence, Xia Chu quickly changed the subject and said, "I heard the Yangchun noodles here are particularly delicious. Let's each have a bowl and then go to the East District to show you a house?"
Ping Qiong recovered her thoughts, nodded and said, "Okay, let's eat Yangchun noodles! No, I want to add an egg this time!"
Xia Chu saw the "rich man" and said, "Add two more and I'll pay you for one egg."
Ping Qiong knew that Xia Chujian had always been frugal because of her aunt, and was reluctant to even take high-grade nutrient solution. When she was doing tasks outside, she always took low-grade nutrient solution.
But now, such a frugal little stingy is actually willing to add an egg to her...
I couldn't help being moved, and jokingly raised my hands and said, "Thank you, Lord!"
Xia Chujian waved his hand: "You're welcome!"
When Xia Chu saw Ping Qiong going to order food together, he specifically asked the chef to add an extra egg to Ping Qiong. Then when paying the bill, he said that she would pay for the extra egg.
When the two bowls of Yangchun noodles were delivered, Pingqiong's bowl actually contained two poached eggs.
She hadn't had breakfast yet when she got up in the morning, so she immediately started eating.
Xia Chujian had already had breakfast, but this time the soup of Yangchun noodles was particularly clear and smelled pretty good.
She also started eating.
The two of them finished their noodles quickly, left a small tip and left.
After coming out of the small restaurant, the cold air that hit their faces almost turned the two of them into popsicles.
"Run quickly, just get on the suspended train. It's so damn cold!" Xia Chujian rubbed her hands and pulled Ping Qiong forward.
The stop of the inner city floating train is right next to the square garden, about 500 meters away from the small restaurant. However, it is impossible for them to walk there in a straight line. They have to go around various buildings, road signs and sentry boxes to actually walk there, which is about It’s also close to a thousand meters.
At this time, there were gradually more pedestrians on the road.
Various private aircraft were flying in mid-air, as well as the Department of Corrections' duty flying vehicle.
Self-driving cars are running rampant on the road, and pedestrians are trying to avoid them.
Xia Chujian and Ping Qiong tried to stay on the sidewalk to avoid being affected by cars on the road.
Just when the two were about to reach the inner city suspension train station, there was a sudden huge roar in the sky above their heads, like an engine losing control, or like some ancient behemoth falling from the sky and about to fall in front of everyone.
When Xia Chu saw Ping Qiong, they both raised their heads, and suddenly saw in the sky, the two Correctional Services Department flying cars that had just picked up a group of orphans, emitting thick black smoke and falling quickly to the ground.
And by visual inspection, the place where they were about to fall didn't look far away from them!
Ping Qiong had always been the observer for the sniper Xia Chujian. She suddenly grabbed Xia Chujian's hand and said, "Run! Go to the center of the square!"
At this time, Ping Qiong exerted the power of a C-level peak gene evolver and ran so fast that his figure almost left an afterimage on the sidewalk.
Xia Chujian was dragged away by her at first, but Xia Chujian's speed couldn't keep up with the superhuman speed of the genetic evolver, and then she was directly carried forward by Ping Qiong.
Xia Chujian saw that this weight was nothing to Ping Qiong, a peak C-level genetic evolver.
In less than a minute, they ran to the center of the square.
boom!
There was a loud noise, and the ground in the entire square garden seemed to shake.
The two turned back in shock.
The sidewalk in front of the small restaurant just now was hit by a flying duty car that fell from the sky!
The two duty flying cars were smashed to pieces, thick black smoke emitted, and huge flames shot into the sky.
People from the small restaurant rushed out, some with fire extinguishers and some with buckets, and poured water on the burning duty car.
"Help! Call the Department of Corrections fire brigade! Come and put out the fire!"
"Run! The fire is burning! The people inside are hopeless!"
"How could it be hopeless?! Didn't you see there was a child inside?!"
