Chapter 5

The shelves were filled with a wide variety of goods, and there was a promotion sign on the full rice cabinet, but there was no one in the supermarket except her.

The supermarket near her home was quite large, and she came at the end of April. The supermarket was going to have a May Day promotion, and the warehouse was full of goods, including rice, flour, oil, fresh food, general merchandise, snacks, and cooked food.

Ruan Qiqi picked up a box of blueberries and ate while walking around. The supermarket had two floors, with rice, flour, oil, condiments, wine, beverages, and home appliances on the first floor, and fresh food, snacks, and general merchandise on the second floor.

The lights in the supermarket were bright, and the freezers and cold storage were also working. The cold storage and warehouse on the underground first floor were full of goods, and the space was kept at a constant temperature, so these foods would not spoil, and she could not finish them in her lifetime.

Ruan Qiqi finished shopping in the supermarket with satisfaction. After finishing the blueberries in her hand, she took another box of strawberries to eat, and also found a few sets of cotton underwear, washed them and hung them in the space, so that she could wear them when they were dry.

Seeing the glass door of the supermarket, she had an idea and pushed it, and it opened.

Outside was a familiar street. Opposite the supermarket was her favorite Tea Salt Moonlight Milk Tea Shop, as well as a bakery and a rice noodle shop. She loved to go to the rice noodle shop to eat noodles.

Ruan Qiqi walked the entire street and became more and more excited. Yan Jun was really nice. He actually gave her the entire street where the supermarket was located.

Supermarket, milk tea shop, rice noodle shop, fast food restaurant, bakery, gas station, community clinic, outdoor goods store… and so on.

There were also four large pharmacies.

Ruan Qiqi didn’t understand why there were four pharmacies on one street, and they were all next to each other. Would there be any business?

What surprised her most was that there was a super large storage center at the end of the street, which was full of all kinds of goods, and there were several cold storages, storing all kinds of meat, vegetables and fruits.

The storage capacity of this warehouse was ten times that of the supermarket, which meant that in this era, even if she did nothing, she could have no worries about food and clothing.

Opposite the warehouse, there is a large open space, overgrown with weeds. Ruan Qiqi plans to take time to hoe the ground and plant something. It is a waste to leave such a large piece of land empty.

Alas!

Ruan Qiqi sighed again. She hated working the most. It would be great if she could find a helper.

Suddenly, a golden light rushed into her arms. Ruan Qiqi hugged it subconsciously. It was nine pills shining with golden light.

“Resurrection Pill, as long as the heart veins are not broken, you can be resurrected. Ruan Qiqi, I have completed what I promised you. Live a good life!”

The stern voice of the Lord of Hell echoed in the space.

“Where is my golden finger?”

Ruan Qiqi asked loudly, but the Lord of Hell ignored her.

She pouted and happily admired the Resurrection Pill. Nine pills meant that she had nine lives!

The Lord of Hell is so generous. I really want to talk!

The Lord of Hell, who was hidden in the air, was so frightened that his body trembled. He immediately returned to the underworld in an instant and blocked all of Ruan Qiqi’s information. Out of sight, out of mind!

Ruan Qiqi left the space, where nine pills were hidden. She could use her mind to take out the things inside, and she could also put them back in. It was very convenient.

She yawned, went to close the window and prepared to go to bed. There was a tall ginkgo tree outside the window, which had just sprouted tender green buds. The tree should be quite old, three stories high, and several branches stretched to the windowsill.

Ruan Qiqi lived on the second floor. There was a ginkgo branch sticking out from the windowsill of her room. She was puzzled because there seemed to be no ginkgo branch when she was hanging clothes just now.

She stretched out her hand and held the ginkgo branch. In an instant, her brain seemed to be hit by an electric current, and she was enlightened, as if God’s window had been opened. Then a hurried voice came in, speaking very quickly, and it was authentic Tanzhou dialect.

“Finally someone is here to talk to me, little girl, don’t panic, I’m not a bad person, I just want to talk, since the founding of the People’s Republic of China, no one has been here to talk to me, I’m almost suffocating…”

After listening for a few minutes, Ruan Qiqi was sure that the guy who was chattering in her mind was the ginkgo tree outside the window.

She was not panicked at all. She was not surprised either.

Because the reason why she was locked up in a mental hospital in her previous life was because she suddenly had auditory hallucinations.

She told the doctor that she always heard the sycamore tree and the camphor tree at the door of the classroom quarreling, but she couldn’t hear what they were saying. It was like a string of particularly messy notes, which made her head hurt a lot and seriously affected her studies.

The doctor finally diagnosed her with mental illness and said that she was very serious and had auditory hallucinations.

So, at the age of 16, she was happily admitted to the mental hospital and stayed there for ten years. She had to take a handful of medicine every day, but the auditory hallucinations did not disappear, and her mental state became more and more insane.

However, as she grew older, her acting skills became more and more sophisticated, and even the doctor was coaxed by her, thinking that she was really recovered, and happily gave her a discharge order.

After she was hospitalized, her parents had their second child and earned a lot of money. They felt guilty about her and gave her enough money to live comfortably for the rest of her life. Unfortunately, she only enjoyed it for a week before she died.

Ruan Qiqi had no nostalgia for her past life. The only regret was the unspent money in her card.

But now she has space, enough supplies to last for several lifetimes, and nine lives, so it’s not a loss!

She also understood that the golden finger given to her by the Lord of Hell should be the ability to communicate with plants.

In her previous life, she was not actually hallucinating, but her ability was too low and backfired, so she was treated as a mental patient by the doctor. Now she can hear the mumbling of the ginkgo tree very clearly, and apart from the noise, she has no other discomfort.

“Little sister, did you hear me talking?”

The ginkgo tree kept mumbling for a long time, but did not get a response from Ruan Qiqi, so she couldn’t help asking.

“I heard you. Can you say something useful? Don’t always talk about cheating and having affairs.”

Ruan Qiqi can communicate with the ginkgo tree through her mind. Now her mind is full of gossip about cheating and having affairs, and they are all people who have passed away. She is confused.

“I’ll think about it… I have it. Do you want gold bars?”

“Yes!”

Ruan Qiqi’s eyes lit up.

“See that ugly camphor tree? Dig three feet underground and there’s a jar of gold bars. Go dig it and come back to talk to me!”

The ginkgo tree stretched out a branch and pointed to a camphor tree in front of the left side, urging Ruan Qiqi to dig the gold bars.

It was already dark. There was an alley behind the guesthouse, and the camphor tree was in the alley. Ruan Qiqi found a hoe in the space, hugged the branch of the ginkgo tree, and landed easily like a swing.

The camphor tree was not young, but Ruan Qiqi held the camphor tree for a long time, but the other party did not respond.

It seems that her golden finger is limited to certain objects, and not all plants can communicate with it. She will have to slowly figure out the rules in the future.

Ruan Qiqi started digging with a grunt. With the guidance of the ginkgo tree, the digging went smoothly. Soon, she saw a tightly sealed pottery jar with a big belly. She shook off the soil, put the heavy pottery jar into the space, and then buried the dug hole to restore it to its original state.

Then she hugged the branches of the ginkgo tree and returned to the room smoothly. She listened to the ginkgo tree chattering for another hour, and her eyelids were fighting.

“I’ll tell you about Old Man Wang and Widow Hua tomorrow. Go to sleep!”

The ginkgo tree was in a particularly good mood. After twenty years of gossip, he finally found someone to confide in.

“Oh!”

Ruan Qiqi yawned loudly, entered the space and opened the pottery jar. A golden light shot out. There were neatly arranged small yellow croakers in it, a total of thirty, which was 937.5 grams of gold, nearly one kilogram.

She put the thirty gold bars back into the pottery jar, stored it in the supermarket, and then left the space.

After a day of hard work, Ruan Qiqi slept until dawn, and was awakened by the sound of the chatterbox Ginkgo knocking on the window.

“Knock, knock, knock…”

The knocking was very rhythmic and persistent. Ruan Qiqi couldn’t pretend to be asleep, so she had to get up, wash, put on new underwear, and then take out the fragrant lotus leaf rice from the space. While eating, she listened to the Ginkgo tree gossiping.

After talking for an hour and a half, Ruan Qiqi was sleepy. Someone knocked on the door. It was the waiter of the guesthouse.

“Comrade Ruan, someone is looking for you. He said he knows He Jianjun!”

“Got it, he’ll be down in a while!”

Ruan Qiqi was no longer sleepy. It must be that beast Liu Hongbo!
