An hour later.
Xu Qing stood in the fast-food restaurant, packed two portions of pork trotter rice, and then carried a pile of bags, thinking if there was anything he had missed.
Clothes, toothbrushes, towels, and even two bags of seven-dimensional space … He didn't know what he was thinking, but he felt like he was taking care of a disabled girl.
In addition, there were two books he picked out from the roadside bookstore — one was "Five Thousand Years of China", and the other was "A Practical Guide to Simplified and Complicated Characters".
Whether they were useful or not, he would leave them at home first.
"Two portions of pork trotter rice are ready!"
"Thank you."
After taking the packed meals, Xu Qing's hands were full as he carried a pile of things home.
Beiwang Road was not very prosperous. It was in a remote corner of Jiangcheng City. Compared to the hustle and bustle of the city center, it seemed a little deserted.
However, it was still a modern city, and there were all the necessary facilities nearby.
After yesterday's heavy rain, some low-lying places on the roadside still had water left, shining under the sun. The security guard, Uncle Zhao, had finished his lunch and was sitting on a chair under an umbrella at the entrance, smoking leisurely. When he saw Xu Qing approaching with bags of various sizes, he casually greeted, "Little Xu, did you go shopping?"
"Yes, have you eaten?"
"I just finished. "Yes, you called me yesterday …"
"I accidentally dialed the wrong number. It's okay."
Xu Qing smiled. He couldn't tell him that he picked up an ancient person.
"You have to be careful and close the doors and windows. I heard from Auntie Liang that there seems to be a thief recently. Remember to pay attention to anyone who is sneaky."
Hearing Zhao Shu's words, Xu Qing paused and nodded, "Okay, I'll remember."
He went all the way back to the door, took out the key, and opened the door. Xu Qing looked up and saw Jiang He standing in the corner of the living room with a sword in his hand. Seeing him come back, Xu Qing was relieved, put down the sword, and sat back on the sofa.
"Didn't I say that it's absolutely safe here?"
"Yes."
"You look very strange here. Relax … Come, eat first."
Xu Qing put a pile of bags on the side of the sofa. Sensing Jiang He's gaze, he said, "I bought some daily necessities for you. I'll tidy them up after dinner."
"Thank you."
"…"
Seeing that Xu Qing had stopped moving, Jiang He couldn't help but feel strange. "What's wrong?"
"Shouldn't you add an object?"
"What?"
"Such as … thank you, young swordsman?"
"…"
"Do I count as a young hero? Or a real man? Or something else? "Xu Qing suddenly became excited.
Who didn't have a dream of traveling the world with a sword when they were young?
"Thank you … Young Swordsman," Jiang He said with difficulty. He had never seen such a strange request before.
"It's nothing!"
Xu Qing waved his hand happily. Jiang He felt an inexplicable impulse in her heart. She didn't know that the impulse was called ridicule.
"Alright, let's eat!"
The pig trotter rice was 14 RMB per serving. It was delicious and had a good amount. When the box was opened, a fragrant aroma immediately wafted out.
It was said that Brother Ma's online name was Flying Penguin. When he was upstairs in the Saige Science and Technology Park researching how to get more servers, it was the bowls of pig's trotters that accompanied him through the night of helplessness and hesitation.
Pig trotters, pig trotters …
Jiang He looked really hungry. Last night, she only had a little porridge and a few buns. The way she swallowed with big mouthfuls revealed a sense of heroism. She didn't look like the heroines Xu Qing had seen on TV at all. When she ate, she was dignified and elegant, taking small bites at a time.
The two of them didn't talk during the meal. The juicy rice was very tasty. Xu Qing ate one mouthful of pig trotters after another mouthful of rice, wiped her mouth, and drank a glass of water. Seeing that Jiang He inadvertently revealed a satisfied expression while eating, she couldn't help but laugh in her heart.
"These are the clothes I bought for you. I don't know what size you wear, but according to your height, it should be about the same. Try them on later."
He took the paper bag at the side and opened it. "I also bought a dress. If you like it, you can wear it. If you don't like it, it's okay … And shoes, these are flat shoes. They're definitely more comfortable than the straw sandals you're wearing."
The clothes were taken out one by one. When it was Xiao Yi's turn, he paused for a moment and said slowly, "This … You should know how to wear it after watching it later. If you really don't know, I'll find out if there are any videos about this. I bought a few sizes and choose the ones that are suitable for you."
Jiang He watched curiously as he took out the clothes from the bag and kept nodding.
"And this, it's for women. I won't say much. You can study it yourself …"
Xu Qing threw the Seven Realms over and continued to take out the clothes from the bag.
"This is a history book. Although it's in the form of a story, it's good for you to popularize science. And this one, simplified and traditional … I don't know if it's easy to use. Take it and read it first."
"Use my toothpaste. This is a new toothbrush, a mouthwash cup, and a towel …"
After laying out everything and handing it over to Jiang He, Xu Qing rubbed his forehead and thought for a moment. Then, he opened up Taobao and searched for a moment before ordering a handwritten computer keyboard.
No matter what, it was best to teach her how to use a computer. Baidu was an encyclopedia of knowledge.
"Alright … You didn't sleep well last night?"
Seeing that Jiang He's face had a trace of exhaustion that couldn't be concealed, Xu Qing felt relieved after thinking for a moment. Last night, he himself couldn't sleep until the latter half of the night. "Have a good rest later. Now, let's talk again. Do you have any questions for the past night?"
Jiang He held the Seven Realms in his hand and looked at it curiously. After thinking for a moment, he said, "What is your identity in this world?"
"Identity … I'm a fresh graduate who is about to become a social animal. Currently, I'm still unemployed. To explain it in words that you can understand, it's … Hmm … It's like I've just finished taking part in the imperial examinations but didn't become an official. I'm looking for something else to do to support my family."
"Son of a rich family?"
"Not really. I'm from a poor family. There are many professions in this world. Studying doesn't mean you have to become an official."
Jiang He nodded, not really understanding. In his heart, he still classified him as a rich landlord.
"What should I do to go back?"
"I don't know … It should be very difficult. How did you get here yesterday?" Xu Qing was curious. Could he have been struck by lightning?
"I don't know." A trace of confusion flashed in Jiang He's eyes. "Yesterday … I … chased after a thief. It was also raining heavily. I lost my way in the woods. Then, I turned left and right … and saw a tall house."
"…"
Woods?
"There aren't any woods nearby …" Xu Qing scratched his chin, not knowing what to do.
The two sat on the sofa in silence for a moment. He coughed lightly and said, "That … Live well here first. Then, think about going back."
Jiang He nodded silently.
"I want to ask, what's the level of your martial arts?" Xu Qing's gaze fell on the long sword beside him. He wanted to know if there really was a magical inner force twelve hundred years ago.
"Martial arts?"
"How's your martial arts?"
"In the Salt Clan, it's … relatively strong."
"What's relatively strong? What kind of inner force do you practice? Swordsmanship? Lightness Skill … "
Xu Qing was excited. As he spoke, he walked to the window and pointed outside. "How high can you jump without getting hurt?"
"Probably …" Jiang He walked to the window and pointed. "There."
？？
"There?" Xu Qing was confused. The second floor … This was different from what he imagined.
She could do parkour and jump down from the third floor!
It should be higher. It was possible that this girl was hiding her strength or was being conservative.
Thinking of this, he restrained his expression and changed his tone. "I don't believe it. It must be higher."
"Hmm … Maybe there's nothing there."
Jiang He hesitated for a moment before raising his finger again.
Xu Qing looked up. The fourth floor.
