Chapter XVIII Temporary Patrols
"Cut..."
Seeing that Deng Qi and his wife were tired of being unscrupulous, Qin Lan on the side was full of disdain, but a trace of envy that even she herself didn't notice flashed in her heart.
"Husband, it's time to eat."
It's just that the little girl is thin-skinned in the end, and in the face of Qin Lan's gaze that seems to be like substance, she soon looks unbearable, and she turns around and runs into the kitchen with a blushing face.
......
The three of them had just had dinner.
"Knock! Knock knock..."
Seeing that it was not early, and I was about to wash and rest, the courtyard door rang at the right time.
"In Xia Sun Cheng, is Deng Daoyou at home?"
Facing the sound coming from outside the door, Deng Qi suddenly felt a surprise in his heart.
As for Sun Cheng, although they are all neighbors who live on this street, Deng Qi is not familiar with it, and at most he nods his head.
Although it was expected that there would be nothing good for this person to come to the door, but for the sake of face, Deng Qi would not be able to turn people away directly.
"I don't know what happened when Sun Daoyou came to the door at this time?"
Opening the courtyard door and looking at Sun Cheng, whose cheeks were pale and his eyes were bloodshot outside the door, Deng Qi's heart suddenly flashed with a hint of understanding.
"Disturb Deng Daoyou rashly, and I hope that Daoyou will not be surprised."
"I came here this time, but I wanted to ask, is there any extra food in the Daoist family?"
After hesitating for a while, Sun Cheng slowly raised his head and looked at Deng Qi expectantly.
"This..."
Although he had already guessed in his heart, in the face of Sun Cheng's move to borrow grain, Deng Qi didn't know how to answer for a while.
It is true that after today's supplement, there is indeed a lot of spiritual rice in the family today.
But now the people of Fang City are panicking, all kinds of daily necessities are not only rising, but also in short supply, and Deng Qi is also finally able to buy some with the help of the relationship of the Wu family in Baicaotang.
After all, the monks in the Qi cultivation period also have to eat, and in today's precarious situation, Lingmi is even more of a life-saving thing.
"I don't have much left in my house..."
Although he had the intention to refuse, Deng Qi also saw that this person had reached the point of exhaustion, otherwise he would not have rashly come to borrow food.
"I can buy it with spirit stones."
In the face of Deng Qi's euphemistic refusal, Sun Cheng was not unable to hear it.
But his cultivation is low, and although he still has some savings, he doesn't dare to go to the commercial street alone rashly.
After all, several neighbors have been robbed one after another in the past few days, but he has been scared enough that he has not closed his eyes for several days and nights.
If it weren't for the hunger in his stomach today, he wouldn't have come to Deng Qi's house to ask for food with a cheeky face.
"Okay, I'll sell you a maximum of two catties of spirit rice here, even if you have a spirit stone."
Seeing that the pleading color in Sun Cheng's eyes gradually became thicker, Deng Qi also sighed in his heart, and then relented.
As he spoke, he motioned to Li Qian, who was not far behind him, to go to the kitchen to load some spiritual rice.
"Thank you Deng Daoyou, Daoyou's kindness, if you have the opportunity in the future, you will definitely repay it in the future."
Although the amount of spirit rice in one catty of spirit crystals has risen five times on weekdays, Sun Cheng did not have the slightest dissatisfaction in his heart at this time, but was full of gratitude.
In today's situation, the price of Ling rice is bound to rise, and even if you have money, I'm afraid there is no place to buy food, after all, Zhao Daoyou, who was not far away yesterday, relied on the sixfold cultivation of Qi training, and went to the commercial street with courage, but he also returned empty-handed.
Now that this Deng Daoyou can give him two catties of spiritual rice, Sun Cheng is naturally grateful.
"By the way, Deng Daoyou, now this Yuhefang is in turmoil, and in the past few days, more than a dozen Daoists have encountered those robbers in our area."
"Is Qian Daoyou from No. 1 Street preparing to gather the residents in this neighborhood to form a temporary patrol, I wonder if Deng Daoyou is going to participate?"
After paying the spirit stone, he took a small bag of spirit rice handed over by Deng Qi, but Sun Cheng suddenly seemed to remember something, and asked out loud.
Temporary patrols?
"It will depend on the situation then."
Hearing this, Deng Qi subconsciously frowned, and after a slight groan, he responded vaguely.
After all, it was still a short time to move here, and Deng Qi had never heard of the monk surnamed Qian.
But to form a temporary patrol or something, he didn't want to join in the fun.
After all, he is living a comfortable life now, and the small courtyard is guarded by the Four Elephant Sleepy God Array, plus his own cultivation has entered the late stage of Qi training, and he is not the kind of casual cultivation where life is precarious.
If you have that time to participate in the so-called temporary patrol, it is better to have a good alchemy at home.
......
Seeing Sun Cheng leave, Deng Qi slowly closed the courtyard door.
"What does Qin Daoyou think of the temporary patrol team?"
When waiting for the side room on the side of the road, when he looked at Qin Lan, who was leaning against the door frame with a leisurely face, Deng Qi subconsciously asked.
"What else can you see, it's just useless work."
"You don't really want to attend, do you?"
Seeing that Deng Qi suddenly set his eyes on him, Qin Lan rolled his eyes angrily.
"How?"
Although I was not prepared to participate in the so-called temporary patrol.
But Deng Qi was still ready to listen to Qin Lan's opinion.
After all, Qin Lannai grew up in this Yuhe Fang since he was a child, and he mixed with the major hunting teams every day, and all kinds of monks of the three sects and nine streams had a lot of contact with him on weekdays.
Although Deng Qi was assertive, he stayed in Shui Yuanzong for a long time, and he really lacked experience in dealing with this kind of thing.
"What else can I say."
"Without the leadership of the major families of Yuhefang, you wouldn't really think that with these stinky fish and rotten shrimps, you would be able to stop those ruthless robberies."
"And I don't think the reason why the person surnamed Qian formed this so-called temporary patrol team is not good."
Speaking of the monk surnamed Qian, Qin Lan subconsciously frowned, with a slightly solemn look in his eyes.
"The man surnamed Qian also spent a period of time in the hunting team before, but he was lustful and greedy, and even did his job, and sometimes even pretended to rob the cultivators to rob the property of those low-level monks, not only robbing money and lust, but even abusing and killing those low-level monks."
"Do you think this kind of person would be so kind and form a temporary hunting team?"
"You won't be harassed too."
Seeing Qin Lan's look of deep hatred, Deng Qi was not surprised, and even joked quite casually.
For Deng Qi, he has never seen anything in two lives, and he knows the truth of human nature and evil.
After all, cultivating immortals is not cultivating the Tao, and there is no such thing as a pure heart and few desires.
Even in Deng Qi's opinion, the so-called immortal cultivators' various desires are a hundred times more than those of mortals.
In fact, this is also very normal, as the so-called full of warmth and lust, all kinds of human desires, and the physical condition is closely related, the healthier the body, the more intense the various instincts and desires, this is the nature of biology.
And when it comes to health, immortal cultivators who have stepped into the path of cultivation are naturally not comparable to mortals.
