Chapter 742: Give and Take

ight. After Lian'er had just finished a cup of water, the sound of the stone mill grinding came from beside her ears:"It's too dangerous. If you were killed, you would lose your soul power, it wouldn'...The ripples was worried that the wind-borne pebbles would shatter the window glass. She rummaged through the space and found the sealed covers she had picked up from the supermarket. She spent the night sealing all the windows in the room, so even if the glass were shattered, the wind couldn't blow in.

Fortunately, this was a high-rise building, and the glass was triple-layer tempered glass. After she took double precautions, it became more stable. In the second half of the night, her sharp ears heard the sound of shattering glass, and after a while, she saw someone in the residential area sending messages for help.

Fellow countrymen, who has some wooden planks I need to borrow two, so I can patch up my window!

"What's going on I was just woken up!"

"My window was broken by an advertising sign that the wind blew over!"

"

What a shame!

"

"Everyone be careful, don't sleep too soundly!"

"Such a strong wind, I can't even fall asleep!"

"Perseverance is victory!"

"Who among you can lend me a board for an emergency!!!"

The group chat is very lively right now, and since the internet isn't down yet, they can still communicate for a while. But after a month when the internet cuts off, these people won't be bouncing around anymore.

Liàn Yī zhì yī zhǐ dìn zài chuāngwài, gǎn shǒu zhe zìrán jiè de lìliàng, zhè ràng tā xiǎng jì shūzhēng jiè yī wèi fēng líng fēng de nán rén, céngyīn xiàng tā fā qǐ guò tiǎozhàn, duìfāng de sùdù què zhè kuài, pòhuài lì yě hěn qiáng, kěshì háizhi shì bèi tā diàn de hún shēn chuōchú, rúguǒ zìjǐ shùn lǐ fēishēng, nà xià ge jiù gāi lún dào tā le.

This night was a sleepless one for many. Even after dawn, the wind didn't subside until it reached level ten. No one dared to go to work against the wind, and the entire city was practically paralyzed.

Lian Yi saw that the wind had died down, so she made herself a simple breakfast. After finishing her meal, she continued reading. She took a nap at noon and started making dumplings, soup dumplings, and steamed buns in the afternoon. When it's time to eat, she can just take them out of the space, which is convenient and nutritious, with meat, vegetables, and carbohydrates all included.

On the other side, Dong Ziqing held the pendant and slept restlessly that night. His dreams were chaotic, and he barely remembered them after waking up. He thought about it for a moment and still put the pendant on his neck before dialing Mu Mianmian's number.

"Mianmian, how are you"

"Zi Qing, last night scared me to death, I didn't dare to sleep all night."

Mu Mianmian said.

"The wind has died down today, so why don't I pick you up Come live with me first, I never feel at ease leaving you alone."

Dong Ziqing said.

He didn't feel like he had dreamed of what happened in the future, probably because the墜子 had already acknowledged Mu Mianmian as its master. So he still brought her to his side, just in case anything happened, he could be prepared beforehand.

"Thank you, Ziqing, for worrying about me. Because the apartment I rented was burglarized, the police came and asked questions. They said the other party was a habitual thief. Fortunately, I wasn't home, otherwise I would have been unlucky too."

I'm really scared, so I contacted my cousin here. He drove me to his house yesterday, and now I'm relatively safe. There are a lot of people here, so you don't have to worry.

Mu Mianmian said with a smile.

"That's good, if you have any questions, feel free to contact me anytime."

"I see. I had a dream that it would rain on and off for the next three months. Let's just wait and see. Make sure you keep your pendant safe!"

Mu Mianmian deliberately lowered her voice and said to Dong Ziqing.

"Okay, I understand!"

Dong Ziqing frowned, hung up the phone, and after a moment of thought, he was still unwilling to give up. Taking advantage of the smaller wind force, he borrowed his neighbor's car with a box of cake and drove to Mu Mianmian's residential area.

And this scene happened to be seen by Mu Mianmian, who was on the twelfth floor with a sealed window. At first, she thought she had seen wrong, after all, the distance was quite far. However, when the other party ran towards her unit wearing that orange windbreaker, she was certain.

"Aha! The scoundrel is still alive!"

Mu Mianmian whispered softly, took out her astronomical telescope, and aimed it at the car Dong Ziqing had just driven. She wanted to confirm it again.

Dong Ziqing took the elevator to the fifth floor, knocked for a long time but no one answered. Looking at the deformed doorknob, he directly pulled it with force and the door swung open. He walked around inside, finding it completely empty. Apparently, Mu Mianmian had taken everything away.

He always felt something was wrong, but he couldn't find anyone. He could only leave first.

And he rushed out of the unit door and got in the car. The whole process was seen by Mu Mianmian, who disliked him even more.

If Dong Zijing knew she had this talisman that could protect her, he would definitely keep her by his side. Fortunately, she was smart and staged a play, leaving the rented house in advance. Otherwise, if he came to her personally, she wouldn't have been able to refuse. Otherwise, it would raise suspicion on her part.

After Dong Ziqing left Mu Mianmian's apartment building, he went straight to an outdoor equipment store. If it really rained continuously for three months, the entire city would definitely be submerged. He had to prepare in advance.

As he passed by the supermarket and small shops, he saw many young people scrambling to buy food. At this time, outdoor stores were basically deserted, with only the boss watching the shop himself. It was already very good that they could open their doors.

"Boss, get me a set of outdoor gear. After the storm passes, my friends and I are going camping by the sea."

After Dong Ziqing rushed into the store, he spoke directly.

"Okay, just a moment while I gather your order. Seems like opening up today was the right call."

The boss looked like an outdoor sports enthusiast, with a well-built physique. He started selecting equipment with nimble hands and scanned Dong Ziqing with a glance, knowing his required size.

"Why is the boss still open the shop in such awful weather"

Dong Ziqing also chatted casually.

"The past two days have been windy, I'm afraid something might happen to the shop so I've been staying here. Otherwise you might not be able to buy anything today!"

"No wonder! I ran to several places, and only your shop is open. You're doing a good job helping the boss get business today. Give me a discount!"

Dong Ziqing climbed up the pole smoothly.

"No problem, I'll give you a membership discount, 70%! I'll even round down the cents for you!"

"Thank you, boss!"

Dong Ziqing also took out his newly applied credit card, swiped it without hesitation, and with the help of his boss, stuffed the items into his car. He returned to his residence. Once the storm calmed down, he would stock up on some food and wouldn't fight over supplies with others anymore.

When Liàn Yī was steaming buns at home, Yuán Chóngmíng came knocking with Jiā Yào. After entering, the two sat down at the dining table as if they were old friends.

Yuan Chongming handed a black, sealed package to Lianyi and then spoke:

This is a windproof jacket. You can wear it when you go out.

Okay, thank you.

Liàn Yī directly received the sealed windproof suit, sat across from the two, and looked at Jiā Yào.

Jiayao sniffed his nose and remembered what his uncle had said about trading things for food. He took a box of chocolate beans out of his pocket and gave it to Lianyi:

"Sister, please eat these chocolate beans, they are delicious!"

"Jaya asked me to eat chocolate, so I'll ask you to eat a bun, okay"

The ripples smiled and asked.

"Thank you, sister!"

Jia Yao immediately happily replied.

The ripples arrived with the freshly steamed buns, feeding both the big and the small.

"Ripple classmate, my friend messaged me saying that after the strong wind comes heavy rain. You better stock up on some food."k tiger. It bared its sharp claws and teeth, glaring at the male cultivator wielding the meteor hammer and roared.The expressions of the five people across from him changed. They had wanted to interce...
