My supermarket is connected to all worlds, and I've won so much money handing it over to the st

The first step in growing up is learning to only share good news and not bad.

"Mom and Dad, why are you being so mushy? What did you do? I'm so hungry, let's go inside and eat."

Mr. and Mrs. Gu exchanged a glance, keenly sensing the change in their child. This child... seemed to have something on his mind.

Neither of them said anything; they simply accompanied Gu Xixi inside to eat.

Under their persistent questioning, she gave a rational, objective, and concise account of what had happened, and Mr. and Mrs. Gu understood.

The child has truly grown up; the time has finally come when they can no longer protect her.

I feel both gratified by her growth and powerless, helpless, and heartbroken.

Seeing that Gu Xixi's expression had improved, Gu's father patted her shoulder again, saying, "Chu Feng was right. This is an important lesson in your life. Learn from this experience and always remember that it is a big taboo to speak too intimately with casual acquaintances. Be wary of everyone."

"As the old saying goes, you shouldn't have the heart to harm others, but you can't be without the heart to guard against them. Friends you can entrust your back to are those who have stood the test of time. As for your own abilities, your parents will open Fa Da Cai supermarkets all over the country. We are your safety net. After you finish your mission and come back, go find Silent and become his apprentice, and learn from him properly..."

"It's a relief that Chu Feng is alright now. Don't worry, just focus on your mission. We'll take care of him for you. Mom visits him every day."

……

Gu Xixi had never found her parents' nagging so pleasant. She listened attentively to their teachings and said, "Okay, I'll remember them all."

At 8 p.m., after dinner, when Gu Xixi returned to the supermarket, Chen Yu was already ready. This was his first time time-traveling, and he was very curious. He reached out and grabbed Gu Xixi's arm.

"I'm ready, let's get started."

Gu Xixi glanced at his sister-type arm-in-arm: ...

"Brother Tongzi, take me back." Gu Xixi closed her eyes, but Chen Yu refused, his eyes wide open. He wanted to see exactly how they had transmigrated.

A flash of white light appeared before his eyes, and he entered a time tunnel. He gripped Gu Xixi's arm tightly, and Gu Xixi opened her eyes and stared at him with a deathly gaze: "Ouch!"

Chen Yu relaxed a little, but then two more things flashed before his eyes, making him close them again. When he opened his eyes again, he was face to face with Tong Yue.

Tong Yue was disappointed to see that the person who came was Chen Yu. "Xi Xi, how is Chu Feng? Was he saved?"

The special forces soldiers behind him were also staring at Gu Xixi with an unprecedented urgency in their eyes.

Gu Xixi understood that these were Chu Feng's best teammates, so she took out the photos she had taken earlier and handed them over, "He's been saved. He's still alive and will be discharged from the hospital in a month. We can pick him up after we complete our mission."

Tong Yue quickly took it to look at it, then smiled and passed it on to his other teammates.

Everyone's expressions showed obvious relief. Chen Yu smiled enviously, thinking how good Chu Feng was to have so many good brothers.

"Miss Gu, here's your phone. Please don't blame yourself, or Chu Feng will worry about you even more." Tong Yue returned Gu Xixi's phone, and Gu Xixi nodded after a long silence.

After confirming that Gu Xixi was not blaming herself, Tong Yue continued his report, "After you left, we checked everyone in the three major bases and did a cleanup..."

Upon hearing that it was a work report, Chen Yu put down his backpack and went into the backyard to observe the outside world.

The apocalypse... Tomorrow he absolutely has to go out and see what zombies look like...

After listening to the report and arranging the work for tomorrow, Gu Xixi went upstairs to rest at Tong Yue's urging.

The next morning, in modern times.

Xu Yi waited in the backyard of the Fa Da Cai Supermarket. The familiar oxcart moved slowly forward, but the people on the oxcart looked increasingly frail, as if they would break at the slightest breeze.

Xu Yi quickly went over to support Shen Qingyan, "Lord Shen, please take a break."

Having witnessed Shen Qingyan's entire journey from the beginning of their business at the supermarket until now, he can't help but tear up every time he sees Shen Qingyan.

Back then, Lord Shen was full of vigor and his arm strength was astonishing. Now, however, he is as fragile as a withered leaf. When he holds Shen Qingyan's arm, it feels rough to the touch.

"Excuse me, Brother Xu, why is Brother Chen nowhere to be seen today?" Shen Qingyan's voice was hoarse, his face was pale, and his eyes were extremely tired.

"Xixi and the others are in danger. Chu Feng's life is in critical condition and he's currently in the hospital, so Chen Yu went to stay with Xixi. Of course, don't worry, Xixi is perfectly fine."

Xu Yi knew that he treated Xixi differently and would inevitably worry, so he gave her a special reminder.

Shen Qingyan's heart skipped a beat when she heard the first sentence, but when she heard the rest and remembered what she had seen in the mist that day... her heart calmed down. "Okay, I understand."

Shen Qingyan sat down at the stone table, and Xu Yi couldn't help but ask, "Lord Shen, are you seriously ill? Do you need medical treatment? We can help. I remember you were much more energetic when you came five days ago."

Shen Qingyan shook his head, "Brother Xu, you're overthinking it. I was busy suppressing bandits a few days ago and haven't slept for days. I'm a bit haggard now because I haven't had a proper meal. I'll be fine after a few more days of rest."

"I came today with a letter that I would like Brother Chen to give to Miss Xixi. Since he is not here, please ask Brother Xu to pass it on. The letter is just an overview of the current situation in Xilan County. It is not urgent, so we can wait until Xixi returns to show it to her."

Shen Qingyan speaks very slowly, and he often needs to pause and wait a moment between sentences.

"Okay, I'll save it for now and give it to Xixi after she finishes her mission. That should take about half a month." Xu Yi nodded and solemnly accepted the letter.

It's heavy inside; it must contain more than just a letter.

"Thank you, Brother Xu. I'll head back now." Shen Qingyan got up again, took a large truckload of supplies with him, and after returning the truck, slowly led the ox into the mist.

Shen Qingyan took a few steps forward and then looked back. A tear fell from her eye. Gu Xixi hadn't returned yet... It seemed that the last time she wanted to see her was too late.

Enough. If we don't meet, we won't miss each other; if we don't know each other, we won't long for each other...

He forced himself to turn around and walked blankly back to the study in Xilan County.

After waiting for a long time, Constable Cheng called out mournfully, "Sir, the medicine is ready."

"Alright, transport all the goods to other counties, but remember to be careful." Shen Qingyan came back to his senses, smiled as he finished his medicine, and then pondered what else he needed to do.

Constable Cheng went over to help him up. “Sir, it’s still early. You can rest a bit more. Doctor Zhao also said that it’s best to rest for a quarter of an hour after taking the medicine before taking any action.”

Although it was a suggestion, Chief Constable Cheng still forcibly took Shen Qingyan back to her room.

The master was already short of days and busy with affairs, but then bandits appeared. The master was afraid that after his death... He worked through the night to suppress the bandits, and after four days and five nights, he managed to capture all the bandits.

Everyone outside is saying that their lord is a brilliant strategist, but... Doctor Zhao said that this has worsened his condition, causing his health to deteriorate rapidly, and his days are probably numbered.

Helpless, Shen Qingyan could only lean against the bed. Constable Cheng took a deep breath, suppressing the overwhelming grief, and gently covered Shen Qingyan with the blanket. "Is there anything you would like to eat for breakfast, my lord?"

This was the only thing he could do to meet the adults' expectations.

Shen Qingyan recalled her first meeting with Gu Xixi, when Gu Xixi brought her a large bowl of noodles. "Let's eat noodles," Gu Xixi said, "I want to eat tomato and egg noodles."
