Chapter 4: I can help you pass the message to my uncle

The two little guys returned to their room again, completely shocking Qi Mohan.

He could no longer question this matter, the door Xiao Qing said existed.

After all, he was an ancient, and it was not easy to accept such an incredible fact.

Fortunately, Qi Mohan was a man with his ideas, and he saw the two little guys disappear and appear with his own eyes.

After a long time of silence, Qi Mohan’s heart finally calmed down a little.

At the same time, Xiao Qing’s soft voice broke the silence in the room.

She described it vividly: “Uncle, you don’t know, there is something special about the beautiful sister. The bathing water falls from the sky and is warm.”

“When the beautiful sister washes clothes, she just throws the clothes into a big black shell, and it will automatically wash clothes after a few presses.”

“And the big bed of the beautiful sister is soft and fragrant. Qing’er wants to sleep there for a night.”

Seeing that her sister was about to finish what he knew, Xiao Mujin was anxious: “Uncle, the porridge cooked by the beautiful sister is especially delicious. My sister and I each ate a big bowl.”

“And the lights there are many times brighter than the oil lamp on the table…”

It can be said that Qi Mohan was confused and felt that his brain could no longer function.

If he hadn’t seen the two little guys going in and out of the door they mentioned with his own eyes, he would never believe that there would be such a magical place.

Also, they both seemed to like the “beautiful sister” very much.

While thinking, Qi Mohan’s stomach growled.

Like the two little guys, he hadn’t had a full meal for two days. Now he had consumed some energy in the rush to find the two kids. It would be strange if his stomach didn’t protest.

Seeing this, Xiao Qing smiled and handed him a cookie: “Uncle, this is from the beautiful sister. It’s called a cookie. Eat some.”

As an adult, Qi Mohan wanted to refuse to eat food brought by children.

But this thing called cookie looked delicious no matter how he looked at it, and his unyielding stomach kept protesting. Qi Mohan reached out to the cookie for some unknown reason.

A bite, crispy, delicious, sweet but not greasy, more delicious than any snack he had ever eaten.

Xiao Mujin also brought a bottle of mineral water in time: “Uncle, drink water.”

Drinking water was such a luxury for the three people present. From Qi Mohan’s chapped lips, it can be seen that his body was seriously lacking in water.

Qi Mohan struggled for a moment but still reached out to take the mineral water.

Xiao Mujin sensibly instructed him how to twist the bottle cap, which was also the method that the beautiful sister told him before he and his sister left.

Qi Mohan opened the bottle cap with force, and at the same time admired the magic of the bottle in his heart.

Qiushui City, which was his fiefdom, including many surrounding cities, had already had more than two drops of rain, so the water was extremely precious to Qi Mohan.

Qi Mohan only took two sips, but he was satisfied.

After all, there were only two bottles, so he left them for the little guys.

The mineral water lingered in Qi Mohan’s mouth. The taste was sweet, making him feel like he was dreaming.

After a moment of contemplation, he seemed to have thought of something.

“Qing’er, Mujin, can you take your uncle to see the beautiful sister?”

If possible, he wanted to discuss the young lady, buying water and food from her to relieve the current urgent need.

The two little guys were naturally willing. When Qi Mohan finished speaking, they held his hands on the left and right and walked towards the door.

Watching the two little guys disappear again, Qi Mohan still stood there.

He had realized that he couldn’t go to that place……

Xiao Qing and Xiao Mujin appeared in front of Si Si again.

“Why are you two back again? Won’t your family be worried?”

The first thing Si Si thought of was that their family would be worried if they couldn’t find the two little kids who suddenly disappeared like this.

Xiao Mujin explained: “Sister, my uncle already knows that we can come to your place. He just wanted to come with us, but he failed.”

“Your uncle wants to see me for something?”

Si Si didn’t want to see their uncle. After all, this was her bedroom. She still felt unsafe when a grown man suddenly appeared.

Qi Mohan didn’t mention the purpose of his meeting with Si Si, so the two little guys naturally couldn’t answer.

Xiao Qing reacted quickly: “Sister, I’ll go back and ask now. I can help you pass the message to my uncle.”

After the young lady finished speaking, her figure disappeared in front of the window.

Xiao Qing returned to her room: “Uncle, the beautiful sister asked what you wanted to do.”

Qi Mohan felt very sorry that he could not follow his nephew and niece to Si Si’s place. If he wanted to communicate with the other party, he could only let the little kids pass the message.

He was afraid that if it was too complicated, Xiao Qing could not convey it clearly, so he simply said: “Tell the young lady that if possible, uncle wants to buy food and water from her.”

Xiao Qing appeared in front of Si Si again with her uncle’s words: “Sister, my uncle said that he wants to buy food and water from you.”

Si Si had learned from the two little guys that it hadn’t rained for almost two years in their kingdom, and many people starved to death.

It was not strange that their uncle wanted to buy food and water from her.

But what would the other party use to trade with her?

After all, they were not living in the same era, and the currency was not in circulation at all.

Even if she took the other person’s money, it was of no use at all.

After thinking about it, Si Si suddenly realized that the ancient currency was just an antique to her……

Recently, antiques were very popular. Some time ago, to ease the crisis of the shopping mall, her father sold all the antiques collected at home, and they were all sold at high prices.

Thinking of this, Si Si quickly asked Xiao Qing to help her pass a message to Qi Mohan: “Tell your uncle that I can do this business.”

Xiao Qing told Qi Mohan the news, and Qi Mohan was overjoyed when he heard it.

If he couldn’t get food and water, not to mention the people in his fiefdom of Qiushui City, even the people in his mansion would have to report to the King of Hell.

But he was short of money recently. Qiushui City was already very rich under his governance, and he had a lot of money in his hands.

Because of the continuous drought in the past few days, he took out all his money and went to other cities to buy food to supplement the people.

Most areas of Daqi Kingdom were hit by continuous drought, which led to a crazy rise in food prices. But in the end, he couldn’t buy food even if he had money.

To prevent the people under his rule from starving to death, Qi Mohan sold all his treasury in the warehouse and looked for black market channels to buy food at high prices.

By now, he had become a complete pauper.
