CH 19

Xie Yunnan bought 20,000 yuan of sweet potatoes, a total of 2,000 catties.

It’s too late today. It’s very troublesome to bring back so many sweet potatoes immediately. Even if he brings them back, there is no place to put them at home.

Xie Yunnan asked, “Can I collect these sweet potatoes tomorrow?”

As soon as Xie Yunnan finished asking, he heard the woman on the opposite side say, “Of course.”

“Thank you.” Xie Yunnan smiled and thanked her.

“No thanks, it doesn’t matter if you come to pick it up a few days later. You can buy more if you need it later. We don’t plan to send these sweet potatoes to the food factory.” The woman smiled.

Most of the sweet potatoes grown in the plantations in the fringe areas are sent directly to food factories to be made into various sweet potato products.

Not sending them to the food factories should be to help people in fringe areas.

But if the beasts attack, these sweet potatoes may not be able to last…

If the beasts do appear in the fringe area, he can remind them.

Lost in thought, Xie Yunnan heard the other person ask: “By the way, what’s your name?”

“My name is Xie Yunnan, how about you?” Xie Yunnan asked.

“My name is Xia Qing.” The woman laughed. When she fought against the nobles, she disguised her identity, and even pretended to be a man. Xia Qing’s identity was innocent.

There are few beautiful women like Xia Qing in the fringes. Xie Yunnan chatted with her and felt that her background should not be bad.

But she was in charge of watching the plantation gate…

He’s afraid the owner of this plantation has quite the background.

Xia Qing chatted with Xie Yunnan and also had a good impression of Xie Yunnan.

Today, she was watching the door and saw many heated glances in her direction. In comparison, Xie Yunnan’s eyes were very clear.

Too bad this guy is already married.

Wait, the key now is…their boss seems to be interested in this handsome married guy?

Xia Qing smiled and sent Xie Yunnan away, a little worried.

To be honest, all of them were basically rescued by the boss. Some were even raised by their boss. They all followed him wholeheartedly, but none of them really knew what kind of person their boss was.

They don’t even know what the boss looks like.

Don’t know what their boss wants to do to this handsome guy…

At eight o’clock in the evening, Xia Qing let those who were still digging sweet potato roots in the plantation go back.

When these people left, she went to their boss again.

“Is something wrong?” the Ghost King asked.

“Boss, what do you think about that Xie Yunnan?” Xia Qing asked curiously.

“No idea.” Ghost King said, what idea could he have? He wanted to verify now whether he was his son.

As for how to verify… His companion beast should be able to confirm it when he sees the other’s companion beast.

Thinking about it this way, the Ghost King was a little distracted.

Seeing her boss distracted by other thoughts, Xia Qing couldn’t not believe that he had no idea about Xie Yunnan.

On the other side, Duan Changqing was relieved to see Xie Yunnan coming back early, looking full of energy and not looking like he had worked.

He originally had a good life. But after he arrived, he needed to farm to support him… This made him very embarrassed.

Unable to reward him, he can only contribute spiritual power!

Thinking of this, Duan Changqing hugged Xiaobai and gave Xiaobai some spiritual energy.

Xiaobai immediately kissed and licked at him intimately, and ignored Xie Yunnan.

Xie Yunnan: “…” Another day of doubting life.

Does he actually like Duan Changqing so much?

Indeed, the more he watched Duan Changqing, the more he liked it… Alas!

Speaking of which, it hasn’t been very long since he rescued Duan Changqing, but Duan Changing’s spirit was completely different!

I bought 2,000 catties of sweet potatoes, and Xie Yunnan was in a good mood the next day.

What makes him even more happy is that his business is also doing well.

But this good mood soon disappeared.

A few mercenaries parked the broken car in his shop and complained: “Damn it! Now I can’t afford to eat!”

“Me too.”

“In just a few days, how much have prices increased?!”

…

In a very short period of time, the price of food in Hongye City has skyrocketed.

Some families with savings and food are fine, but some people are used to spending money when they have money, and they don’t have any money at hand… Their lives can only be bad.

Unfortunately, these low-level mercenaries are all people who spend all their money immediately.

They can only choose to go out of town to hunt.

However, there are many people who shared their thoughts, making the competition fierce. Not to mention that some big families of Hongye City have also been paying attention to Hongye Forest…

There are fewer beasts near Hongye Forest!

They went out of the city yesterday. After a long time hunting, they could only catch some small prey, and the car broke down. They were not in a good mood, and complained constantly when they came back.

Xie Yunnan’s mood fell after hearing their words, and forced himself to keep busy.

Back upstairs, Duan Changqing practiced cooking.

At noon, they ate sweet potatoes again. Duan Changqing boiled a large pot of sweet potatoes, and scrambled eggs with pickles. He was about to fry another green vegetable when he suddenly felt something.

Turning his head, Duan Changqing saw a snow-white fox squatting in front of his house.

This is not the point. The point is that this fox has nine tails.

Nine-tailed fox! The most charming demon!

This kind of demon’s attack power and defense are not very good, but its charm is hard to guard against… In the world of cultivation, everyone would rather fight against more powerful monsters than against them.

Why did a nine-tailed fox demon suddenly appear in the fringes?

Of course, in this world, this nine-tailed fox should be someone’s companion beast.

Don’t know whose companion beast this is…

All kinds of thoughts flashed through Duan Changqing’s heart. At the same time, he found that this nine-tailed fox was using its own innate abilities to hide itself.

In other words, normally speaking, he can’t see this fox.

However, his situation is not normal. Even after sealing most of his divine sense, he won’t be so easily fooled by a fox demon.

Don’t know what this fox demon wants to do… but this fox demon has no ill intentions towards them, so Duan Changqing simply pretended not to see it.

The fox didn’t do anything. It sat squatting on the windowsill for a while, then suddenly jumped off the windowsill and disappeared from Duan Changqing’s sight.

What the hell is this fox doing?

Not far away, the Ghost King, who had been closing his eyes, suddenly opened his eyes.

Ordinary people don’t have a close relationship with their companion beasts, but if a warrior wants to improve his combat effectiveness, he needs to develop a tacit understanding with his companion beast.

Top warriors can even see the world through the eyes of their companion beasts.

And he is a top fighter.

He used his companion beast to go to Xie Yunnan’s house to observe Xie Yunnan’s companion beast up close.

The puppy gave him that familiar, blood-connected feeling.

That is his child.

His child was supposed to have the best of everything, but ended up growing up in the fringes, got married early without an education, and married someone who was beautiful but not in good health.

No, that person might not even be a beauty.

Such thick makeup… Who knows what his face looks like?

The Ghost King couldn’t tell what he felt in his heart, but his child was married, so he couldn’t really do anything to him.

He still has to figure out a way to talk to his son.

After eating lunch, Xie Yunnan began to tidy up the second bedroom upstairs.

Two thousand catties of sweet potatoes isn’t much, but it’s not too little either. His house is a bit crowded, and fitting in so many sweet potatoes at once isn’t easy. But after sorting out the second bedroom, there should be some room.

Xie Yunnan moved the bed and cabinet in the second bedroom to the dining room, and stuffed some furniture into the master bedroom.

“I’ll help you.” Duan Changqing said.

Xie Yunnan quickly refused: “No, no, you go rest.”

Duan Changqing’s body… How dare he let Duan Changqing help. What if Duan Changqing’s arm is broken by accident?

Thinking so, Xie Yunnan glanced at Duan Changqing’s fleshless arm.

Duan Changqing wanted to show off his physical strength.

Although the original owner’s body is poor, he was tempered by spiritual power since he was a child. After drawing spiritual power1aka qi into his body and cultivating, his strength is probably no worse than Xie Yunnan.

But if he really went and worked with his strength, it’s estimated he’d scare Xie Yunnan to death.

“How about you help me sweep the floor?” Xie Yunnan suggested.

Xie Yunnan has lived in a fringe area since he was a child, and has learned crafts such as car repair with his strong hands-on ability. The bulkier items, such as beds, he directly disassembled and moved, so he can get by without help.

After a while, the second bedroom was cleared up, and Duan Changqing cleaned it.

Seeing the tidied second bedroom, Xie Yunnan said, “Changqing, I’ll go out and bring the sweet potatoes back. Why don’t you go down? If someone comes for repairs, let them wait for me for a while.”

“Okay.” Duan Changqing agreed and followed Xie Yunnan downstairs.

Xie Yunnan rode his old motorcycle and went to the plantation.

Although his motorcycle was assembled by himself and looks very broken, its carrying capacity is very strong. Xie Yunnan packed five hundred catties of sweet potatoes into a sack and tied it to the back of the car, and drove away.

Duan Changqing waited in the store for half an hour when he saw Xie Yunnan driving a motorcycle with three sacks of sweet potatoes tied up high behind him, and one sack of sweet potatoes hanging on each side, driving towards him.

Xie Yunnan’s appearance, and the streets here, are exactly in line with some photos of some undeveloped countries that Duan Changqing saw in his previous life.

The environment is not very good, but Xie Yunnan is really handsome.

He has a vigorous vitality, which makes people feel good when they see him.

Duan Changqing’s heart beat faster.

Xie Yunnan didn’t know what Duan Changqing was thinking, but when he saw Duan Changqing standing at the door of his house, waiting for him, he couldn’t help smiling.

Liao Muye saw this scene as soon as he came here.

Anger suddenly rose in his heart.

He fell in love with Xie Yunnan at first sight in his last life, because of Xie Yunnan’s smile and how he stood out from the crowd.

At that time, in order to become the pride of the family, he was under a lot of pressure. When he saw Xie Yunnan when he came to find Liao Xingyuan, he became rebellious and wanted to do something outside the rules, and began to pursue Xie Yunnan…

Xie Yunnan almost ended up with him!

It’s hard for him to feel happy seeing Xie Yunnan smile like this at someone else.

Liao Muye was furious, but he didn’t go out.

He’s not in a good mood these days.

The Liao family sold a lot of valuable things and bought back various materials, waiting to make a profit after the Hongye Forest accident, and relying on these materials to develop.

In his previous life, the Hongye Forest accident didn’t only affect Hongye City, it also impacted some nearby cities. Many people from those cities also fled to Hongye City.

In his last life, Xie Yunnan was able to rise by taking advantage of the chaos in the world.

But this time… it was clearly time, and there was no movement in Hongye Forest.

And the Ghost King.

In the last life, Hongye Forest was in chaos. According to what the Ghost King said, he was injured in the Holy City. When he returned to Hongye Forest, he found that Hongye Forest was a little different. When his subordinates went to investigate, he died under the mouth of the exotic beasts.

When the exotic beasts rioted, the Ghost King was seriously injured in order to protect his subordinates. After escaping alone, he was rescued by them.

At that time, the physical condition of the Ghost King was very, very poor. They spent a lot of precious medicinal materials to save the Ghost King, but in order to protect Hongye City, the Ghost King was injured and died early.

He paid much to save the Ghost King at first, but later the Ghost King chose Xie Yunnan…

Liao Muye gave Xie Yunnan a deep look.

He left the town and was going to wait at the place where Xie Yunnan was going to pass by, and talk to Xie Yunnan.

He had to figure out what Xie Yunnan wanted to do.

Liao Muye moved very fast. He came out of the town and found a path with many low trees nearby, ready to wait for Xie Yunnan.

As a result, as soon as he passed, he saw a man lying on the side of the road.

Liao Muye felt a little annoyed, and was about to drive this person away or throw him aside when he was suddenly stunned.

The face of this person lying on the side of the road is full of burn marks… Who else is it if it is not the Ghost King?

The Ghost King always wore a mask in front of people, but he has seen the true face of the Ghost King, and the Ghost King looks like this.

It still happened as he expected! It’s just that the Ghost King he met in his previous life was covered in blood, and his injuries were particularly serious, but this time the Ghost King didn’t seem to be seriously injured.

But no matter what, it won’t stop him from saving people!

With a smile on his face, Liao Muye rushed forward, trying to save the Ghost King.

The Ghost King is one of the top fighters, and has many capable people under him. Their Liao family is only a small family and cannot be compared with the big families in the Holy City. But if there is a Ghost King… their family can directly compete shoulder to shoulder with those top families in the Holy City!

Liao Muye was excited and chose a less disgusting expression. The Ghost King, who was lying on the side of the road waiting for Xie Yunnan to rescue him, wanted to curse.

Seeing someone running towards him… Without knowing whether the other party was an enemy or a friend, the Ghost King jumped up, kicked Liao Muye to the side of the road, and left quickly.

Looks like this time won’t work, so he’ll try again next time.

Hahaha. That Liao Muye directly shows us how to seek death as a cannon fodder, socially and physically.
