An eight-year-old kid emptied his scumbag father's warehouse and followed his grandparents into

Ah Qi stood beside Jing Chunxi, and couldn't help but glance at the rows of houses where the warehouses were. He suppressed the desire to look inside the warehouse, but his heart felt like it was being teased by a flame, itching.

Without the young lady's instructions, he would not dare to act on his own. He was worried that seeing only empty warehouses would further strain his fragile heart.

In the end, it was Jing Chunxi who spoke first. She frowned, glanced at a fallen soldier, and said calmly, "Should we strip them of some clothes?"

Ah Qi finally realized what was happening. He exclaimed, "How could I have forgotten this? Several sets won't do!"

After saying that, he hurriedly pulled Xiaoman inside, his steps hurried as if he was afraid of missing something important.

Chuntao was frightened by the chaotic scene and stepped back. She was still very scared, her face was pale, and her hands were clenched tightly together.

Tang Shuang, on the other hand, was completely different. She rushed forward, wanting to follow Ah Qi and Xiao Man inside. In the end, Jing Chunxi quickly pulled her away and asked her, "Are you a man or a woman?"

The icing became more and more unruly and even tried to peel off the man's clothes.

These words failed to make Tang Shuang embarrassed. She was about to take a step forward and say loudly, "It's not like they don't wear underwear!"

Ah Qi couldn't help but curse Tang Shuang in his heart. This girl was getting more and more bold.

In the end, Chuntao pulled Tangshuang's hand, and Tangshuang's footsteps finally stopped and he finally retracted, muttering something in his mouth, and still didn't think there was anything wrong with going in.

"No need to wait for them, let's go to the grove and wait." After Jing Chunxi said this, he took Chuntao and Tangshuang upstairs without even looking back.

Ah Qi and Xiao Man entered the house. Xiao Man was eager to start stripping the clothes off the corpse, but Ah Qi stopped her: "They wouldn't have just one set."

After all, Ah Qi was smart. His mind was working quickly. In the end, the two of them did not strip the clothes off the corpse. Instead, they went directly to every bedside in the bedroom to look for clothes. They picked up the clothes they saw, even those that were hung on bamboo poles.

Thirty or so sets of clothes might not seem like a lot, but Ah Qi knew that not every set would be suitable for them. It was always a good idea to take a few extra. Just in case, they needed to wear something for a few days? They always had to have a spare set.

Xiaoman has been trying to find two sets of clothes suitable for him and the young lady. He has been looking for them everywhere but couldn't find any.

That little trick was eventually seen through by Ah Qi, who directly retorted, "I'm not looking for a baby!"

Xiao Man choked for a moment before she finally gave up. Come to think of it, if little brats like them were to flaunt their uniforms, it would really attract attention and cause trouble!

Ah Qi finally couldn't resist his curiosity. After collecting the clothes, he took the opportunity to look into a warehouse nearby. As he expected, it was empty, without even a piece of ceramic fragment.

His heart sank, but he quickly suppressed the slight ripple in his heart and only speculated on the best. He acquiesced that all the ceramics in the house had indeed been moved to the boat.

Just follow the lady and get the job done. Who cares if the cat is black or white? Who caught the cat? How she caught it is just because of the lady's ability.

On the fifth day after the granaries were opened to sell grain, the sky of Jiujiang County suddenly became gloomy, as if it could read people's minds, and was covered with dark clouds, as if a huge, thick black curtain had enveloped the entire city.

Starting in the middle of the night, a heavy rain poured down. The rain was so heavy that the big raindrops hit the roofs, streets and fields, making crackling sounds. No one was not awakened, and cheers were heard in the middle of the night.

Heavy rain fell for three consecutive days, and the water level of the Xunyang River rose sharply. The river was surging, and the dry reeds on both sides of the river bank were washed to the ground.

The rain moistened the dry land and brought new life to the earth.

The streets in the city were washed clean by the rain, while the streets outside the city turned into mud, washing away the dust accumulated over the past two years and clearing away the haze in everyone's hearts.

During these three days, anyone willing to venture out could see people, young and old, women and children, prostrating themselves on their front porches, burning incense and bowing devoutly. Their faces were filled not only with joy but also with gratitude, muttering thanks to heaven for the timely rain, praying for the kindhearted people who had come to their aid, and occasionally reminiscing about their deceased relatives.

This timely rain not only alleviated the drought, but also gave people hope for life.

Three days later, the rain stopped and the sky cleared. New notices were posted at the four city gates, several major intersections, and the market. This time, the notices were again stamped with the county governor's seal, and once again caused a sensation throughout the city. The notices read as follows:
