After breakfast, Xiao Jingyan taught more soldiers in the barracks how to use a series of things he learned from Shi Xi, including thermoses, hot water bottles, and heat packs.

Seeing everyone's faces filled with happy and warm smiles, Xiao Jingyan seemed to see new hope.

"Your Majesty, now that our soldiers are well fed and have these things to keep warm, everyone feels like they are in a dream, it's so unreal."

As Guo Wen spoke, his voice gradually choked up, and the eight-foot tall man shed tears of excitement.

"Yes, Your Highness, I wonder if the Fairy Lady in the Painting will give us food again?"

Wang Tiezhu also came forward and asked.

Looking at the eager eyes of his subordinates, Xiao Jingyan was also full of anticipation.

He opened the passage to the ancient painting early in the morning, waiting for Shi Xi to send something over.

*

Shi Xi was woken up early in the morning by Yan Ran's phone call. The tens of thousands of quilts and dozens of tons of charcoal she wanted had already been prepared for her.

But there were too many of these things. In order to avoid causing unnecessary trouble, Yan Ran did not bring them into the city, but placed them all in a manor under the name of the Yan family in the suburbs.

Upon hearing this news, Shi Xi couldn't help but praise Yan Ran for being so thoughtful.

After asking Yan Ran for the address of the manor, Shi Xi planned to pack up and rush over with the ancient painting.

About an hour later, Shi Xi's car stopped in front of a private manor on the mountain outside Xinghai City.

The manor was so huge that the acres of land in front were covered with lush corn stalks.

After she gave her name, the security guard opened the door for her and let her drive in directly.

Driving around the estate, after passing the cornfield, there is another plastic greenhouse. On a slightly higher mountain there is also a small grove of various fruit trees.

Shi Xi also understood the meaning of the word "manor".

This place is more like a farm than a manor.

She knew that the Yan family was very powerful in Xinghai City, but she didn't expect them to be so wealthy!

Such a small piece of hill is conservatively estimated to be worth more than ten billion!

She drove for more than twenty minutes before finally seeing the villa in the manor.

In front of the villa.

A little girl with two ponytails and a puffy skirt was by the swimming pool, sucking on the straw of a drink cup while staring at the laptop screen.

"Drip-"

Shi Xi blew the flute, indicating that Yan Ran was coming.

Hearing the sound, Yan Ran hurried over to greet her.

Yan Ran also knew a general idea of ​​what was going on in the Shi family during this period. When they met, it felt like they were in different worlds.

"Xixi, you've lost weight."

Yan Ran touched Shi Xi's skinny arm with heartache. The little girl was about to cry.

Shi Xi knew that she wanted to comfort herself, and without waiting for Yan Ran to speak, she took the initiative to say:

"Actually, this is a good thing. It allowed me to see the true colors of the Shi family sooner rather than later, and draw a clear line between myself and them, so I won't be sucked dry by them in the future."

Seeing her relaxed tone when she said this, as if she didn't care about breaking off the engagement at all, Yan Ran sniffed and was very proud of Shi Xi.

At least, this time the changes in the Shi family made her stronger.

"Okay, I'm fine, why are you crying?"

Shi Xi smiled softly and wiped the tears that were about to overflow from the corners of Yan Ran's eyes with the back of her hand.

"Where are the things I asked you to prepare?"

She hurriedly asked about the heating supplies that were to be sent to Xiao Jingyan.

"It's in the warehouse out back, we still have to drive there."

Yan Ran's words instantly turned the originally sentimental and sad atmosphere into something funny.

Shi Xi felt that Yan Ran's previous interactions with her were just a show of Versailles.

She always thought that her family was relatively wealthy, but she didn't know that Yan Ran was the real daughter!

After the two got in the car, Yan Ran naturally picked up the ancient painting that Shi Xi had placed on the passenger seat.

"Isn't this the ancient painting Aunt Zhongli bought before her accident? Why are you still carrying it with you?"

Yan Ran asked curiously, afraid that Shi Xi would reply that it was because she missed Zhong Li Jing.

Seeing that she was quite curious about the painting, Shi Xi held the steering wheel and smiled nonchalantly.

"When we get to the warehouse, I'll show you the magic of this painting!"

She said mysteriously.

She had no intention of hiding the secret of the ancient painting from Yan Ran.

Firstly, it was because he had special trust in Yan Ran; secondly, he couldn't hide it even if he wanted to.

Shi Xi felt that the Yan family manor was tailor-made for her.

From now on, all the supplies that Xiao Jingyan needs that are inconvenient to transport to the supermarket can be transported here.

Not only is it large in area and can hold a lot of things, but with the Yan family's power helping to cover it up, no one would have the courage to come here to cause trouble, so as to prevent something like what happened to Shi Guoxing from happening again.

"What? Isn't it just a painting?"

Yan Ran pursed his lips in disapproval.

Her little hands dishonestly opened the scroll and looked at the contents on the ancient painting.

"Well, as expected, the real thing is better looking than the pictures online!"

“Very vivid.”

Yan Ran praised and couldn't help but touch the screen with her little hand.

As soon as I touched the picture, the whole picture was filled with faint starlight, as if countless fireflies were flying out of the painting.

She was a little surprised.

I couldn't believe my eyes and thought I was dazzled.

After rubbing my eyes, I reached out and touched the scroll again, and there were still the same star spots.

She was stunned for a moment.

"Xixi, this painting? Is it infused with some kind of magic?"

Yan Ran's eyes widened in fear, as big as copper bells, and his whole nerves were dazed.

"Put away that inexperienced look on your face. You'll be even more surprised soon!"

Shi Xi raised her eyebrows, leaving Yan Ran with an extremely attractive hook.

The car drove for about ten minutes and finally arrived at the warehouse at the back door of the manor.

Before getting off the car, Shi Xi was still sighing that the Yan family's manor was too big!

The manor is big and the warehouse is also big, otherwise how can they put in all the things Shi Xi wants?

"Xixi, look, are these what you need?"

Yan Ran turned on the lights in the warehouse and let Shi Xi walk around freely.

Shi Xi felt that Yan Ran's warehouse was almost as big as a logistics company's storage plant.

The things she wanted only filled half of the warehouse.

"That's right, I said that in Xinghai City, the only person with such strength is none other than the eldest daughter of our Yan family!"

Shi Xi took a quick glance, confirmed the quantity and quality of the goods, and immediately praised Yan Ran.

"Then our Miss Xixi, can you tell me what on earth you want these things for in the middle of summer?"

Yan Ran followed up on Shi Xi's words and continued asking.

Shi Xi smiled at her and took the scroll.

"By the way, there's no one else in your warehouse besides the two of us, right?"

Before using his "magic power", Shi Xi had to confirm whether there were any outsiders present.

She could trust Yan Ran, but not the employees under Yan Ran.

"Do you think anyone in our Yan family can hide and enter just by hiding?" Yan Ran asked back.

Shi Xi nodded with satisfaction, spread out the scroll, and threw the note she had prepared earlier into it.

Seeing the note disappear the moment it touched the scroll, Yan Ran felt that it was more magical than magic.
