Chapter 168: Fire (1st Update)
Xia Chu saw the meeting and said with a smile, "Then let's go to the East End to see the house?" By the way, how much money do you have left?"
Pingqiong gritted her teeth and said, "I'll ask my mother. I gave her yesterday...... 800,000."
First Summer: "......"
But she was also relieved to think that she had transferred the little one million to her aunt.
It's all a family, and if you want to use the money yourself, your aunt won't give it back.
As a result, when Pingqiong talked to her mother on the phone, the whole person's spirit was gone, and Xia Chujian realized that relatives and relatives were different.
Ping Qiong said with a wooden face, "My mother said that there are many younger brothers and sisters in the family, so you can't spend money indiscriminately. If I want to buy a house, I will go and earn money and buy a set for my brother to keep ......."
When I first saw Xia Chu, people have always respected me, and I also respect you.
If you don't respect me, then don't think I respect you.
Therefore, when she heard what Pingqiong's mother said, she immediately said, "Sister Cai, how much do you have in your hand?"
Ping Qiong said, "There are only 200,000 left."
Xia Chujian came up with an idea and said, "We urge Team Ye to let him receive the bounty of the hunting list, you can divide 400,000, plus a total of 600,000, you can buy a two-room well-decorated house in a good location in that community in the Eastern District." Why don't you buy it right away, write your own name, and don't let your mom know......
Pingqiong's mind still echoed her mother's shrill voice.
For so many years, from childhood to adulthood, she is the eldest in the family, so everything must be close to her younger brothers and sisters first, and what they eat is hers.
After graduating from high school, she worked as a cow and a horse to earn money to support her family.
But the amount of money she earned, in her mother's mouth, had nothing to do with her.
Being a clay figure will also arouse the earthy nature......
And 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 a set for herself.
Just like Xia Chujian said, it's not that you can't afford it.
Xia Chujian was a doer, and immediately contacted the real estate agent and asked to go to the community in the East District to see the house.
Although it is still the New Year's holiday, it is also a week before Chinese New Year's Eve.
With the exception of governments, hospitals, and banks, most of the other companies are starting to work.
The real estate agent contacted by Xia Chujian was casually picked up on the Star Network.
She just looks for a very large and formal real estate agency first, and then chooses a local agent with a high rating from the photos listed on the Internet.
She made a call, and it was quickly picked up.
When I heard that I was going to see the house, I readily agreed.
The two sides agreed to meet at the entrance of the well-decorated high-end community in the eastern district two hours later.
The agent claimed to be wearing a black coat and formal suit, a hat with black animal fur on his head, and a backpack with "Family Elite Agency" written on it.
made an appointment to show Pingqiong the house, and the two of them were very happy and planned to find a restaurant to have a good meal.
At this time, it was too early for lunch, but it was a little late for breakfast.
Fortunately, I found a noodle restaurant that is open 24 hours a day, and only noodles are served for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Ping Qiong said, "I haven't eaten breakfast yet."
Xia Chujian beckoned, "Then go have breakfast."
Although she had already had 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 much, you can't resist the low temperature of minus thirty or forty degrees Celsius.
The restaurant is small, about 15 square meters in size, with six tables.
At half past nine in the morning, the store was full.
Soon, the smell of hot food wafted from the back kitchen of the restaurant until it reached the entrance of the restaurant.
A lot of ragged children came over when they smelled it.
One by one didn't dare to go in, so he lay at the door, snorting desperately, as if he could smell more fragrance
Eat the same as full.
Xia Chujian couldn't bear to look over.
Ping Qiong sat next to Xia Chujian and said, "They should all be orphans, and a disciplinary officer should come and take them to the imperial orphanage in a while."
Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, two speeding cars from the Correctional Services Department fell from the sky.
Through the glass window of the restaurant, they saw several uniformed correctional officers getting off the flying car, scolding one by one, and throwing the children into the flying car on duty like goods.
Suddenly, a male correctional officer threw a child directly off the speeding car on duty, with a look of disgust, and said, "Your vital signs are dying, and the orphanage will not accept children like you, and it will be a waste of food to go."
The child looked to be two or three years old at most, very thin, and seemed to be unable to stand even on his feet.
He was draped in a black blanket, his face was dirty, and he couldn't see his appearance, only a pair of eyes that were black and white.
Although he was treated so roughly, he didn't have any anger to resist, or fear of anger, just opened those big pure and innocent eyes, quietly raised his head, and watched the duty car of the Correctional Department leave with the group of homeless children.
Xia Chujian couldn't see this kind of look at the most.
She opened the insulated door of the restaurant and walked out.
"Here you go." She took out a low-grade nutrient solution in her arms and stuffed it into the child's hand.
The child's breath was indeed very weak, and it seemed that he was about to leave this world in the next moment.
But after Xia Chujian gave him a nutrient solution, his eyes lit up.
He stared at Xia Chujian tightly, his eyes were wet, like a little chick who had just opened his eyes to see the world, as if he wanted to keep her appearance firmly in his heart.
This look is too piercing.
Xia Chujian couldn't care about his dirty hair, but still rubbed his head.
The child tilted his head shyly and smiled at her, revealing a small birthmark on his neck, like a red star.
Very chic birthmark.
Xia Chujian glanced at it again, and simply stuffed the remaining low-grade nutrient solution to him, and asked in a low voice, "...... Do you have any relatives at home?"
The child's eyes darkened, and he didn't bow his head, but just pursed his mouth into a straight line.
In such a cold weather, as soon as it gets dark, the temperature plummets to minus 80 degrees.
Can a two- or three-year-old child survive outside alone?
Xia Hatsumi then asked the child, "...... Where is your home?"
The child didn't speak, smiled at her, hugged the two nutrient solutions, got up and left.
The small body, although it walked swayingly, and it looked like it couldn't even walk steadily, but the pace was very fast.
Not long after, he turned the corner and disappeared from the sight of Xia Chujian.
Xia Chujian breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this.
It seems that this child should have relatives and a place to live, but he just came out to beg during the day.
Ping Qiong can see clearly through the glass window.
When Xia Chu saw him back, he sighed and said, "This child is so young, how can his family be willing to let him come out to beg alone?"
She remembered that when she was a child, she had nothing to eat, and her aunt went out to beg......
Ping Qiong seemed to remember something, and her eyes darkened.
Seeing her suddenly fall silent, Xia Chu hurriedly diverted the topic and said, "I heard that the Yangchun noodles here are particularly delicious, let's eat a bowl each, and then go to the East District to show you the room?"
Ping Qiong retracted her thoughts, nodded, and said, "Okay, let's eat Yangchun noodles!" No, I'm going to add an egg this time!"
Xia Chu saw that he was "rich" and said, "Add two, and I'll pay you for an egg."
Pingqiong knew that Xia Chujian had been frugal for her aunt, and she was reluctant to eat even the high-grade nutrient solution, and when she was doing tasks outside, she had been eating low-grade nutrient solution.
But now, such a thrifty little miser, is actually willing to add an egg to her......
I couldn't help but be moved, and jokingly arched my hand and said, "Thank you, Lord Long!"
Xia Chujian waved his hand: "You're polite!"
Xia Chu saw Pingqiong go to order food together, and asked the chef to add an extra egg to Pingqiong's side, and then when she paid the bill, she said that she would pay for the extra eggs.
When the two bowls of Yangchun noodles were delivered, there were really two poached eggs in Pingqiong's bowl.
She hadn't eaten breakfast when she woke up in the morning, so she immediately took a big bite of it.
Xia Chujian has already eaten breakfast, but this time Yangchun noodles, the soup is very clear, and it smells good.
She also took a big bite to eat.
The two quickly finished their noodles, put down a little tip and left.
Coming out of the cafeteria, the cold almost froze the two of them into popsicles.
"Run, just get on the hovering train, it's so cold!" Xia Chujian rubbed his hands and pulled Pingqiong forward.
The stop of the inner city suspension train is on the edge of the square garden, about 500 meters away from this small restaurant in a straight line, but they can't walk in a straight line, and they have to bypass various buildings, road signs and sentry boxes, and it is about a thousand meters to get there.
At this time, there were more and more pedestrians on the road.
In mid-air, there were various private aircraft, as well as the duty car of the Correctional Services Department.
Self-driving cars are rampage on the road, and pedestrians are scrambling to dodge.
Xia Chujian and Pingqiong tried to stay on the sidewalk as much as possible so as not to be affected by cars on the road.
Just as the two of them were about to reach the inner city suspension train station, a huge roar suddenly erupted from the sky overhead, like an engine out of control, and like some ancient giant beast falling from the sky and about to fall in front of everyone.
Xia Chu saw that Ping Qiong looked up together, and suddenly saw that in the sky, the two duty cars of the Correctional Department that had just picked up a group of orphans were emitting thick black smoke and were rapidly falling to the ground.
And visually inspecting the place where it was about to fall, it looked very far from them****** Qiong had always been an observer for Xia Chujian, a sniper, she 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-rank peak genetic evolutionary, running fast, and his figure almost pulled out an afterimage on the sidewalk.
Xia Chujian was first dragged by her to run, but Xia Chujian's speed really couldn't keep up with the superhuman speed of the genetic evolutionary, and then he was directly carried forward by Pingqiong.
Seeing this weight at the beginning of the summer, it was nothing to Ping Qiong, a C-level peak genetic evolutionary.
It took them less than a minute to get to the center of the square.
Rumble!
There was a loud bang, and the ground of the entire square garden seemed to shake with it.
The two looked back in shock.
The sidewalk in front of the small restaurant just now has been smashed by a speeding car on duty falling from the sky!
The two flying cars on duty crashed, emitting thick black smoke and huge flames rising into the sky.
The people in the small restaurant rushed out, some with fire extinguishers, some with buckets, and poured water on the blazing flying car on duty.
"Save people! Call the Corrections Department Fire Brigade! Let's put out the fire!"
"Run! The fire is burning! The people inside are hopeless!"
"How could it not be saved?! Didn't you see that there were still children in there?!"
