Bringing love across time and space

Chapter 136 Purchase of Food

In the silence of three o'clock in the morning, Lin Qingya was awakened by a nightmare.

She gently rubbed her furrowed brows, trying to dispel the lingering dream.

In the dim light, she saw Gu Yuchen beside her also opened his eyes.

The two people's eyes met in the darkness, as if stars collided, flashing with tacit understanding and warmth.

"Do you want to go see your uncle?" Gu Yuchen's voice was low and magnetic, like the melodious sound of a piano in the night breeze.

Lin Qingya nodded gently, her eyes revealing a hint of worry and concern.

The two quickly changed their clothes, walked out of the quiet tent, and stepped into the moonlit villa.

They first came to Lin Jingyuan's room. A faint light shone through the crack in the door, accompanied by low voices of conversation.

Lin Qingya guessed that this must be the result of a long conversation between her uncle and Lin Jingyuan all night, and the two might be talking about the bitterness and difficulties of the past.

She couldn't help but feel helpless. Her uncle's health was no longer as good as before.

Such sleepless nights are undoubtedly a great torment to his body.

She knocked on the door gently, and Lin Jingyuan's voice came from inside: "Come in."

Lin Qingya pushed the door open and saw her uncle Wang Yichen sitting beside the bed. Although his face looked a little haggard,

But after careful care, one can still see his handsomeness and charm in his youth.

His eyes reveal a depth and wisdom that comes from having experienced many vicissitudes of life, which is the unique charm bestowed on him by the years.

Seeing Lin Qingya, Wang Yichen's eyes couldn't help but moisten. He reached out and gently stroked her hair.

He said with a choked voice, "Girl, you've suffered a lot." Lin Qingya could feel the love and care of her uncle, and she knew that her uncle had noticed her changes.

But she was not afraid because she knew that her uncle would accept her and treat her as one of his own.

She walked forward and asked with concern: "Uncle, how do you feel now? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere? Qingya can help you diagnose and treat it."

Wang Yichen shook his head and smiled, "Everything is much better than I thought. This is your home in the 21st century, I heard from Jingyuan."

Lin Qingya nodded and said gently: "Uncle, if you like it here, this is your home. We will always be with you and take care of you." Wang Yichen nodded with emotion, tears in his eyes.

They chatted for a long time until the sky gradually brightened. Lin Qingya got up and went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

She carefully prepared sea cucumber millet porridge, preserved egg and lean meat porridge, as well as more than a dozen side dishes, boiled eggs and buns.

Every dish embodies her hard work and love.

When breakfast was ready, she called everyone out to eat.

Everyone sat around the dining table, enjoying this delicious breakfast. However, the third prince was reluctant to get up.

Lin Qingya smiled helplessly. She knew that the third prince had already gotten used to the pace of life here and the daily routines of young people.

She decided to let him continue to rest for a while.

She served her uncle a bowl of sea cucumber and millet porridge and watched him enjoy it slowly.

Her heart was filled with satisfaction and happiness because she knew that the affection between her and her uncle had transcended the boundaries of blood.

The morning glow had not yet faded when the tranquility of the palace was broken by a hurried call.

The chief eunuch beside the Emperor of the Great Zhou hurried into the Emperor's bedroom, his eyes full of fear.

The emperor was lying on the ground, and two secret guards were sleeping beside him like statues.

Although the dragon bed has been restored, the slight mess still reveals unusual signs.

The chief eunuch stepped forward quickly and gently woke up the emperor who was still in a daze.

The emperor's face was pale, and his eyes were full of confusion and bewilderment.

After the eunuch's repeated explanations, the emperor's anger erupted like a volcano.

He ordered the two secret guards to be awakened with cold water. After they woke up, they were also confused and had no idea what had happened.

Anger and fear were intertwined in the emperor's heart, and he would never allow this matter to be leaked.

So he decisively ordered the city gates to be blocked and ordered a city-wide search to find Wang Yichen.

He must not let the news that Wang Yichen is still alive spread out. This concerns his safety and his dignity.

The morning sun had risen to mid-sky, its golden light shining on the glazed tiles of the imperial palace, but the emperor's heart was filled with gloom.

He knew very well that what happened today would surely cause a bloody storm.

Gu Yuchen and Lin Qingya stood side by side, seeing a bustling scene in front of them.

The shop was crowded with people, and people lined up in an orderly manner to buy food.

The people in the exile team followed closely and merged into this long dragon-like team.

Time passed quickly, and it was finally their turn to buy food. Liu Shun and Liu Yang were the first to step forward, and the scene before them left them dumbfounded.

The refined rice had full grains and bright color, even better than the royal tribute rice, yet the price was so affordable it seemed like a dream.

Everyone couldn't help but wonder who the owner of this grain store was and how could he be so generous in selling cheap grain in a year of famine?

They were grateful, and Liu Shun and Liu Yang picked a lot of white rice and white flour, and also brought some cornmeal.

The texture of the cornmeal was surprisingly similar to what Gu Yuchen had sold before, but since they thought that it was obtained by Gu Yuchen in exchange for silver, they did not investigate further.

In order to avoid suspicion, Gu Yuchen and Lin Qingya symbolically bought some rice and flour, and did not buy anything else.

An Xinyang, An Xinda and others knew that the road ahead was uncertain, so they prepared more food. They were happy thinking that they could return with a full load.

However, when it was the Liu family's turn to buy grain, they were treated differently.

The secret guard who sold the grain told them coldly that the grain would not be sold to the Liu family because they had offended the owner of the grain store.

Although Lin Qingya did not give the order to do so, she knew in her heart that this must be Gu Yuchen's instruction.

Thinking of Gu Yuchen's protective nature, Lin Qingya couldn't help but feel a warm current in her heart and felt extremely relieved.

Liu Tao and his eldest son Liu Changfeng stood aside, staring at the fine rice, feeling reluctant to part with it.

The rice was the color of snow and had a fragrant aroma. You could tell at first glance that it was of the best quality.

They know that the rice can be used to cook delicious dishes, not to mention that the price is so affordable.

However, the sudden change left them helpless.

Liu Tao tried to negotiate with the secret guards. He said sincerely: "Little brother, we are new here and do not know your master. How can we say that we have offended him? There must be a misunderstanding. Please look into it carefully."

However, the secret guard just glanced at him coldly and said, "This is the master's order. We are just following orders. You don't have to get entangled with me. There are many people waiting to buy food behind us."

After saying that, the secret guard turned and left, no longer paying any attention to Liu Tao and his son.

Liu Tao shook his head helplessly, thinking to himself. He recalled that Gu Yuchen had sold cornmeal to the exile team before, and the texture of the cornmeal was quite similar to that in this grain store.

In this era, such fine cornmeal was almost impossible to produce, so Liu Tao couldn't help but turn his suspicion to Gu Yuchen.

He secretly guessed that the owner of this grain store might have some relationship with Gu Yuchen.

However, now that things have come to this, he can only accept the reality helplessly and stop pestering her.

At this moment, Liu Tao's heart was filled with helplessness and emotion. He knew very well that in this chaotic world,

It was a blessing to meet such a generous grain store owner, but he lost the opportunity to buy because he offended Gu Yuchen.

He secretly swore to himself that he must be careful in the future and not offend Gu Yuchen again.

Gu Yuchen and Lin Qingya looked at the grain in the grain store. If they continued to sell like this, even the warehouse would be sold out in less than two days.

Seeing that everyone was immersed in having food to eat, Gu Yuchen quietly walked into the dark.

He summoned a secret guard and told him that each person could only buy ten kilograms of rice a day.

And tell those people that this grain store will never run out of food, and they don't have to worry about buying food.

In fact, the reason why Lin Qingya chose to sell grain here was, of course, because this place was close to Lin Qingya's place of exile.

Because this place is close and convenient for running back and forth, I can only choose to sell food here.

Lin Qingya and Gu Yuchen quietly avoided everyone's sight and walked into a deep and secluded place.

They tacitly put on invisibility talismans and, like ghosts in the night, sneaked into the warehouse silently and filled the food shortage.

Afterwards, they cleverly filled the gap in an inconspicuous place in the grain shop, and everything returned to normal.

The two of them quietly retreated into the darkness and gently took off the invisibility talisman, as if they had never appeared.

Finally, they leisurely bought some daily necessities and left calmly.
