Demon Exchange

134 The Rich Man

Feeling her body being lifted, the little girl weakly opened her eyelids, and after realizing that it was Ning Qiu, she struggled to lift up the water bag in her arms: "Drink... drink..."

Ning Qiu took the water bag, and the weight in it hardly changed after he left.

This means that the little girl is waiting for him to come back with bitter thirst...

He remained silent, opened the cork, poured water into the little girl's mouth, and didn't care if more water overflowed and scattered on the ground...

The sudden water moistened the little girl's chapped lips.

She woke up from a daze, and stretched out her hands in horror to hold the water bag to stop the loss of water: "Water, water, the water is gone..."

Look at her panicked appearance.

Ning Qiu smiled softly: "Don't worry, it's not hot anymore, we won't be short of water..."

He still had the last five talisman papers left in his pocket, so they could use them sparingly and collect a lot of water from the air, which was enough for them to get out of this arid area.When the little girl heard him say that it wasn't hot anymore, she finally realized that the temperature that would have scorched people to death had dropped at some point...

Holding the water bag, she began to cry.

Probably thinking of relatives who died due to drought.

Ning Qiu shook his head slightly, even though he extinguished the source of the drought, he also absorbed the residual heat!

But the crops and plants that died due to drought and those water sources cannot be recovered in a short time. Those refugees who lack water and food cannot survive, and the damn thing will die after all...

He wiped the tears from the little girl's face: "Why did you faint and didn't drink water..."

The little girl lowered her head and said weakly: "If I drink it, you won't have to drink it... I... don't want you to die..."

Oh……

She doesn't want him to die...

He smiled lightly: "I won't die, and you should try not to die..."

After drinking the water, the little girl regained some energy.

During the few days of getting along, she was still a little shy of strangers, she didn't dare to let Ning Qiu hold her, so she hurried down, picked up a branch as a crutch to support her body and followed behind...

In this way, one big and one small figures cast long shadows on the Gobi and headed south.

……

……

In Qingping Town, the streets are quite lively...

On the trail outside, an ox cart drove up slowly. The driver was an old man over half a century old. Behind him was a large amount of hay, and on the hay sat two dirty people. , it was Ning Qiu and the little girl.When we reached the busiest area, the old man turned his head: "This is Qingping Town..."

Ning Qiu jumped out of the car and picked up the little girl.

Then he took out a handful of copper coins from his pocket and put them in the old man's hand: "Thank you for your help, this is a reward!"

The old man was startled by the copper coins in his hand, he hurriedly said: "I can't help it. Although I like money, I can't take advantage of you. I said I would take you for a ride, but I didn't ask for money..." Just kidding, a One copper coin can buy a big meat bun, at least there are sixty or seventy coins, which is considered a "heavy gold" for his economic conditions...

Ning Qiu smiled: "Old man, take it, you deserve so much!"

After speaking, he took the little girl's hand and walked away, leaving the old man with a confused face in a daze. You must know that a cart of hay behind him can't be sold for much...

Ning Qiu had a lot of money on her body, including a lot in her arms and sleeve pockets.

They walked all the way from the border and met countless people on the road. Some refugees saw that they had water on them, so they bought it with money. In dry places, ordinary people have money but can't buy anything!On the contrary, there are a lot of barter...

So I made a little money for the refugees...

Countless refugees died on the ground, and part of the money came from these corpses...

Later, when we gradually left the dry area, the number of refugees gradually decreased, but there were more robbers blocking the road, and the last part of the money came from these robbers...

In this way, Ning Qiu has more and more copper coins, and even a lot of broken silver!

Even the cloth bag of the little girl's clothes contained a lot of copper coins, and it made a lot of noise when she walked...

Ning Qiu took the little girl for a walk, they were far away from the arid area, the people here were not affected at all, the pace of life was very slow, and they lived very leisurely...

His eyes lit up slightly, he led the little girl to a restaurant, and was about to go in.

Unexpectedly, a waiter with a towel hanging on his shoulder walked over quickly, stretched out his hand to stop the two, and said coldly: "I'm sorry, you two, this restaurant prohibits people from entering...especially beggars and refugees...if you want to eat , just go to the back door, maybe there are food leftovers left..."

The little girl was a little panicked. She has grown up so much that she has never left the village, let alone eaten outside.

"High-end places" such as roadside stalls are also these days.

just experienced...

Now she actually wants to come to such a "horror-level high-end place" to eat, which really makes her feel a little panicked... Although she is really looking forward to what it will look like inside and what the food will look like...

Ning Qiu wasn't unhappy because of the guy's attitude, on the contrary he didn't think there was anything wrong with what the guy did.

Facing two ragged people, any place would probably exclude such people from entering...

He smiled, grabbed a handful of copper coins and stuffed them over: "This little brother misunderstood, we are not beggars and refugees, it's just that we strayed into the mountains for many days, full and hungry, forced to torture like this, fortunately We can only leave with the help of noble people! And we will not eat free meals..."

The man felt the heavy copper coins in his hand. Although there were wealthy businessmen who passed by on weekdays and gave some rewards when they ate in restaurants, they never expected so much today.He hesitated for a moment, the two big and one young in front of him really didn't look like any villains, so he whispered: "It's just that the clothes of the two of you are really serious... I'm afraid that if the shopkeeper sees it, he will definitely give me a good reprimand... ..."

After so many days, Ning Qiu and the little girl have gotten used to it, and now they have re-entered the civilized world.

Suddenly I feel a little uncomfortable...

He smiled and said: "It's reasonable, but I'm hungry now, and I have to eat before going to change clothes. Brother, don't be embarrassed, just find us an inconspicuous corner in the restaurant, but the food can't be sloppy what……"

The man held the copper coin in his hand and was really reluctant to give it up.

But this person is so rich, even if the shopkeeper finds out later, it should be fine...

He thought for a while: "Well...as long as the guest officer doesn't mind, that's fine. There are very few guests on the third floor on weekdays. I can open a private room for the two of you, but I'll trouble you to take the small ladder later. I'm really sorry to go upstairs..."

The border ghosts have survived, do you still care about this?
With the little girl, Ning Qiu didn't want to worry too much, nodded and said: "Yes, lead the way."

Seeing that Ning Qiu was so easy to talk to, the waiter led them around to the back of the restaurant and opened a small door. Sure enough, there was a small ladder leading directly to the upstairs...
