Chapter 223: The Jiang Family's Shop
Parents have broken through to the realm of grandmasters, and with the communicator here, Li Mo can rest assured that the second elder will stay here.
Taking advantage of the time, Li Mo went to Bai Qiming's side again, leaving behind some cultivation resources and some explanations.
There is not much he has to explain, that is, to let Bai Qiming prepare to build a security base. It doesn't need to be too big, just surround Bailong Mountain and radiate the entire Nanling County. No matter how big it is, it is estimated that there will be opinions from the imperial court!
But even so, Nanling County is big enough to accommodate a million people.
Leave this matter to Bai Qiming, Li Mo knows that this person will definitely handle it, at least the Special Warfare Security Department will help! For the people of the Special Warfare Security Department, the more security bases the better, and with Li Mo in charge, there is absolutely no problem for such a small security base to protect itself, and they can protect millions of people without them worrying, why don't they do it? And if there are more people, I am afraid that some people will think that Li Mo wants to be the king!
The Overworld is not an important place for Li Mo to operate, he doesn't need to fight for these, and it is never a good thing if there is any trouble.
Waiting for the next day, Li Mo took Li Qingqing away.
On the periphery of the Ancient Forbidden Land, Li Mo took Li Qingqing and flew around, looking for a small town to settle in.
This is a small shop, there are only seven or eight tables in it, and those tables and chairs look a little old, and they are all polished and shiny, and they look antique and very clean.
"Grandpa has something to eat, hurry up and get some." After Li Qingqing's strength improved, he became a lot more confident. In the old days, she didn't dare to talk to strangers like that.
Sitting at the counter Xiao Qi's shopkeeper was an old man with gray hair, the years had already left traces on his face, full of wrinkles, looking weather-beaten, his clothes were patched a lot, and life didn't seem to be very good.
Seeing that it was a girl in a strange dress and a strange bird on her shoulder that she had never seen before, the old man felt a little surprised, but he responded quickly: "Some steamed buns and sauced beef, and a chicken, plus some green vegetables, is this enough?" ”
"Cut half a chicken for me, then half a catty of beef, stir-fry a green vegetable, and make a steamed bun." Li Qingqing said.
"Sit down for a moment, girl, and I'll go to the kitchen!" This shop is too small, and the living conditions of the old man are not very good, and he is not only the shopkeeper, but also the man and the cook.
Not long after, the fragrant roast chicken and sauced beef were served, and Li Qingqing couldn't help but move his index finger. Although this old man looks quite old, his skills are indeed good, and her mouth is full of oil.
While eating, a little girl of four or five years old came out of the back room, her clothes were also patched, and she was dressed very plain and simple, with two pigtails, which were very cute, and her red face was like a red apple.
The girl glanced at the food on the table, and couldn't help swallowing a mouthful of saliva, obviously wanting to eat it, but she ran very sensibly to pour a glass of water for the shopkeeper, and helped the old man to sit down and beat his back.
"Grandpa, little sister? Have you eaten? Why don't you have a bite to eat? Li Qingqing saw the appearance of the little girl, and felt a little distressed in her heart, so she hurriedly asked.
"No, the guest officer will eat well. I left some food for Tingting, is Tingting hungry? Half a steamed bun and a piece of chicken are left for you in the kitchen, go eat it! The shopkeeper touched the little girl's head and said kindly.
"Little sister, I have something to eat." The little girl replied crisply.
"You're so well-behaved? What's your name? How old is this year? Li Qingqing asked.
The little girl squinted her eyes and said with a smile: "My name is Jiang Ting, I am four years old this year, and it will be my fifth birthday in three days." ”
"Wow? Are you five years old on your birthday? The more Li Qingqing looked at it, the more she felt that this girl was cute.
"Well, I'll be able to do some work for my grandfather when I'm five years old." Jiang Ting seemed to be very happy.
"Your dad...... Uh, where's your father? Li Qingqing asked.
Hearing this, the smile on Jiang Ting's face disappeared, her eyes turned red, and she didn't reply, she lowered her head and played with the hem of her clothes with both hands.
"Tingting, let's go to the kitchen and eat!" The shopkeeper stood up and carried Jiang Ting into the kitchen. After a while, he came out alone and said to Li Qingqing apologetically: "Guest officer, I'm sorry." Tingting's parents went to Yanxia Cave to practice a few years ago, but unfortunately she didn't see what her parents looked like. ”
"Grandpa, it's me who should say I'm sorry, it's me who said the wrong thing. In this way, I also brought some delicious food with me, can I go in and give it to Tingting? As Li Qingqing spoke, he took out the backpack that was placed next to him.
She came over this time, bringing a suitcase with her clothes and a backpack of snacks. The clothes were for a change of clothes, and the snacks were intended for the young ladies we had met last time.
"No, no, don't be polite." The shopkeeper hurried over to stop it.
"Damn, I lost again, when I'm done eating, I'll go with me to kill another wave, and I'm going to get it back in the afternoon." Old guy, if you have any good wine and good food, bring it to the master! ”
Before the person arrives, the sound arrives first. When the words fell, four or five strong men appeared at the door of the shop, and the expression on their faces almost carved the words "I am arrogant" on their foreheads.
The shopkeeper's almost humble man bent his waist and said to a few people: "Wait a minute, a few masters, I'll go and serve food to the uncle!" ”
"Brother, are the people here so savage?" Li Qingqing muttered. Although she is quite confident, she is still a little timid in the face of such a fierce person.
"Yo, and the little girl? Where did this come from? ”
Before Li Mo could speak, someone from the four or five strong men had spoken. He just spoke, and even got up and walked in front of Li Qingqing, and stretched out his hand to go to Li Qingqing's face.
Li Qingqing is not a natural beauty, but her appearance is also beautiful, plus she is young and full of youth, she can also be regarded as a little beauty.
"Take your hands away!"
Although Li Qingqing was a little afraid of them, he was extremely angry at this kind of behavior. She subconsciously slapped it, and the strong man's arm was thrown out, leaving a few red marks on it.
"You stinky girl is going to rebel!" The strong man was immediately annoyed, and several other people followed suit.
The shopkeeper was coming out of the kitchen at the moment, holding half a roast chicken and a plate of beef in sauce. Seeing this, he hurriedly said: "A few uncles, misunderstandings, all misunderstandings, this, this girl is my cousin, if she has any conflict, please forgive me!" ”
Xiao Jiang Ting followed behind, and when she saw those strong men hiding behind her grandfather in fear, her eyes turned red, and tears rolled in her eyes.
"Old immortal thing, you also have to take care of the uncle's affairs? Get out of the way, dare to smash your store again! One person scolded with a cold face.
