The True Thousand Gold Possessions of the Myriad Realms Trading System
Chapter 20 No overnight stays allowed in shopping malls
After the three finished speaking, they couldn't help but comfort Ruan Mianmian, saying it wasn't her fault, that she had been wronged, and praising her for still having a kind heart and a positive outlook despite experiencing many hardships.
They were genuinely angry, but also felt sorry for the young woman in front of them.
This bright and clever little girl was bullied for four whole years and even beaten into a mentally challenged state for two years. It's so tragic and heartbreaking!
Ruan Mianmian finally received understanding from the adults, and the gloom that had accumulated in her heart for many years was greatly relieved. She nodded and said softly, "Yes, it's not my fault."
During the four dark years of being bullied by the entire school, she sometimes couldn't help but doubt herself, wondering if she was really so hated that she was bullied by all her classmates and disliked by her adoptive parents and biological parents.
Although she was strong-willed and these were just occasional thoughts, being bullied for four years still affected her mentally to some extent.
Zhang Ying, Jiang Yingchen, and Yang Zhichuan said in unison, their voices firm: "Yes, you are not wrong!"
Not only was it not her fault, but she did not make any mistakes!
Upon hearing this, Ruan Mianmian smiled broadly!
Seeing that Ruan Mianmian's emotions had stabilized, Jiang Yingchen said gently, "Mianmian, although there are corrupt officials in the police force, it doesn't mean that they are all bad people."
From the little girl's story, he could tell that she was cynical and had a serious lack of goodwill towards public officials.
However, when he heard her say that 14 billion people were well-fed and clothed, that there was a poverty alleviation system, medical security, and a literacy rate as high as 97%, he knew that it was a very good leadership team. However, in any city, there are always some pests.
He wanted her to believe that the world was more about kindness and justice.
That way, she will live a more relaxed and happier life.
Ruan Mianmian stopped smiling and shook her head: "That's not how it is."
Jiang Yingchen looked into her eyes and said firmly, "That's exactly how it is. Look at this land now, the Eastern faction is full of corrupt officials, and even within our own ranks, there are people who have made mistakes, right? Bad people never disappear, but in this world, there are always many people who uphold justice and fairness."
Looking into Jiang Yingchen's determined eyes, Ruan Mianmian remained silent, her mind a jumble of emotions.
She felt he wasn't wrong.
But her past experiences made it impossible for her to believe it.
Zhang Ying held Ruan Mianmian's hands: "Mianmian, you actually know that's how it is, but you're afraid of getting hurt and disappointed, so you tell yourself that they are all bad people, right?"
Ruan Mianmian was in a state of confusion. Under the gaze of three pairs of eyes, she said, "I... I will think about it carefully."
Zhang Ying nodded: "Yes. I believe that if you look carefully, you will find more righteous police officers who are dedicated to serving the people."
Ruan Mianmian was bullied for four years, the most carefree years of her life, but instead she fell into the mire. Even when she desperately sought help, she could not get the fair treatment from public officials who were loyal to their duties. Therefore, the resentment in her heart was very deep.
At this point, they naturally wouldn't forget their hatred just because of a few words of comfort.
However, she wouldn't argue with the kind and gentle senior from the West, so she looked at the warriors and decided to change the subject.
Upon closer inspection, he noticed that the soldiers had finished eating and looked much better than before, though they kept dozing off. He then said, "I see that the soldiers are all sleepy. Why don't they go to the beds on the lower level and take a nap?"
She now knew that the little soldier she thought was about eight years old was actually thirteen-year-old Black Egg—the little soldier she had heard was about to fall off a cliff.
Before Jiang Yingchen and Zhang Ying could even speak, the chubby baby in her mind spoke first: "Host, no way. They can't stay overnight in the mall. They have to get down the snow mountain as soon as possible, otherwise it will be even harder to get down the mountain when it gets late."
When Jiang Yingchen heard Ruan Mianmian invite the soldiers to sleep on the beds, he quickly declined, saying, "No need to be so polite, we can just take a nap." Then, noticing Ruan Mianmian's suddenly pale face, he hurriedly asked, "Comrade Ruan, are you feeling unwell?"
Ruan Mianmian shook her head and said urgently, "I'm sorry, I just realized that we can't stay overnight here. If we go down the mountain later, the wind will be colder, the snow will be heavier, and the road will be more difficult to travel, so you probably need to go down the mountain as soon as possible." She then asked the system in her mind, "Baby, do they have to leave immediately? Can they stay another half an hour or an hour?"
Although there was enough food, there wasn't enough warm clothing. We couldn't very well let them go down the mountain wrapped in quilts, could we?
The system replied in a soft, childlike voice, "They can only stay for another half hour at most. If they delay any longer, the weather will worsen, and they probably won't be able to get down the mountain. I've checked their pace; this estimate is based on their walking speed."
I feel like I'm getting the short end of the stick. She just called him "baby" once, and he's already done so much for her!
There is no better system baby in the world!
Jiang Yingchen was alarmed when he learned that he could not stay here overnight. He quickly stood up and said, "In that case, let's go down the mountain immediately."
Before they went up the snow mountain, they consulted the local villagers. The villagers repeatedly told them that they had to cross the snow mountain during the warmest part of the daytime, around noon, because if they went too early or too late, they would freeze to death.
Their team had already fallen behind and arrived at the summit later than planned. Now that they were resting and having a meal here, they couldn't afford to delay any longer.
Ruan Mianmian quickly stopped him, "No need to rush, we can leave in half an hour. I'll go prepare some warm clothes for you first, you wait a little longer—"
After saying that, he ignored Jiang Yingchen's shouts and ran away like the wind.
Yang Zhichuan was extremely anxious: "Comrade Ruan is so hospitable. But we really can't delay any longer."
Zhang Ying comforted her, "Comrade Ruan doesn't seem to be the type to act without thinking of the consequences. Besides, since she was able to return to our time from the future, she must have some unknown abilities. Since she said she can leave in half an hour, then she must be right."
Jiang Yingchen nodded: "That's right."
Yang Zhichuan smiled wryly: "So I'm the only one who's worried? I'm worried about those young comrades. This snow mountain is too difficult to traverse, and I don't want to see any more comrades fall." He paused and then added, "However, what Comrade Zhang Ying said makes sense."
Ruan Mianmian quickly searched at the service center.
Human beings absolutely need food, clothing, shelter, and transportation.
We already have a good amount of rice, so there's no rush.
At the summit of the snow-capped mountain, the most urgent need is for warm clothing, specifically warm clothing suitable for outdoor use in snowy weather.
So she checked outdoor gear first.
Upon investigation, they were overjoyed.
Not only do they have two regular outdoor equipment flagship stores, but they also have a snow outdoor equipment flagship store!
After noting down the address, Ruan Mianmian tried entering "military coat" and discovered that there was actually a military-themed store!
Just as Ruan Mianmian was about to put down the mouse to get some winter supplies, she remembered that Zhang Ying wanted some good rice seeds, so she quickly searched for "rice seeds".
