Chapter 8 Rong Qian / The First Customer

She saw a person lying in the trap, the clothes looked familiar. Qian Xiaolan remembered from her memory who she was, she quickly tied the straw rope to a tree, then grabbed one end of the rope and slid down into the trap. She squatted down and checked her breath, she was relieved. She brushed her hair aside, it was indeed her! Qian Xiaolan urgently shouted: “Aunt Rong, Aunt Rong, wake up!

Aunt Rong, wake up, I’ll take you back.” Rong Qian’s hand was tightly clutching a handful of herbs, Qian Xiaolan called for a long time, but she didn’t respond, she could only carefully check her injuries. Her left foot was twisted, her instep was swollen, her right leg was cut by the sharp bamboo in the trap, and there was a lot of blood. This was the most serious injury, and then there were scratches all over her body.

 Fortunately, the original owner hadn’t fallen into the trap with many sharp bamboos, otherwise she might have died. Qian Xiaolan hadn’t learned medicine, looking at Rong Qian’s pale face, she didn’t know if she had fainted from blood loss or from hunger. She could only bandage Rong Qian’s wounds first, then take a tomato from the space, squeeze out the juice and drip it into her mouth. Fortunately, although she was unconscious, she could still swallow unconsciously. When she was almost finished feeding her a tomato, Rong Qian’s eyelids twitched, and then she slowly opened her eyes.

When she saw Qian Xiaolan, she was excited and a little confused. “Aunt Rong, you’re finally awake, how are you feeling now?” Hearing Qian Xiaolan’s words, Rong Qian finally realized that she was lying down, she hurriedly wanted to get up, but as soon as she moved, a piercing pain shot through her leg. Qian Xiaolan quickly stopped her: “Aunt Rong, your foot is twisted on one side and injured on the other, don’t move, I’ll pull you up.” Rong Qian looked up at the sky, her face pale, she shook her head: “Xiaolan, don’t worry about me, everyone will be off work soon, if someone comes into the mountain and sees you and me together, it won’t be good, I can go back by myself after resting for a while.”

 Qian Xiaolan also shook her head: “Aunt Rong, this place is very remote, people usually don’t come here, I’ll tie a rope around you first, then pull you up.” With that, she didn’t wait for her to refuse, she helped Rong Qian sit up, then pulled over the straw rope nearby and tied it around her, she climbed up to the ground in three or two moves. Seeing her like this, Rong Qian’s eyes turned red, tears instantly rolled down her cheeks, and she quickly wiped them away with her sleeve. Qian Xiaolan put a lot of effort into it, and finally got Rong Qian to the ground, both of them were exhausted.

They sat there and rested for a while, then Qian Xiaolan jumped back into the trap and picked up a wild rabbit that had been pressed under Rong Qian’s body. This rabbit was also unlucky, it fell into the trap and wasn’t injured by the sharp bamboo, but it was pressed to death by someone. Hanging the rabbit around her waist, Qian Xiaolan looked at the herbs in her hand and asked: “Aunt Rong, is someone sick? Is this enough herb?” “It’s my father, he’s been coughing from catching a cold, these herbs are enough for now.

” Qian Xiaolan nodded, she picked up Rong Qian and walked down the mountain. She was so focused on carrying her back to the mule shed that she didn’t see Rong Qian behind her staring at her back of the head, her expression was both sad and happy. Qinghe Production Brigade was the most populous and richest brigade among the surrounding brigades. The brigade had water in front and mountains behind it, and there were two fish ponds in the village, at the end of the year, everyone could get a little more food and a few fish for the New Year.

There was also a lot of land in the village, it was too tiring and slow to rely solely on manpower, so in the past few years, the village had been saving most of the fish pond’s income every year to buy two mules and two cows.

 Mules and cows were good helpers for farming, and they needed people to take good care of them. Just so happened that a few people were sent down to their village in those years, the brigade leader, like other brigades, sent them to the mule shed to take care of the livestock. And Rong Qian was one of those people, along with her father-in-law, her father, and her son. Her husband didn’t come, she didn’t know if he was in another place or if something had happened to him. In addition, there was also a couple in their fifties, it was said that they were both university professors, and they were very good people.

 When they reached the foot of the mountain, Rong Qian struggled to get down and walk by herself, but Qian Xiaolan said something that made her quiet down. Qian Xiaolan said: “You’re a patient now, I’m helping others, no one will say anything about it.” Rong Qian thought about it, and slowly leaned her face against Qian Xiaolan’s shoulder, a happy smile appeared on her face. The injuries she suffered this time were worth it.

 She sent her back to the mule shed, the others hadn’t come back yet, she put Rong Qian on the bed and made her lie down, then Qian Xiaolan said goodbye and left. She returned to the foot of the mountain, carried the full bucket of water back home, locked the courtyard door, and ran to the health center to buy some medicine and sent it to Rong Qian at the mule shed. When she returned home, Qian Xiaolan was about to clean up the rabbit and stir-fry it for dinner, when she sensed movement in the space, she immediately entered the space.

Then she saw a purchase request on the main screen: [Hey, hey, hey, is anyone there? Can this dimensional mall really trade things? If it can, can you give me a tin tea canister from the 1960s or 1970s? Aaaa, I’m so unlucky! I accidentally smashed the tea canister my grandparents used when they got married when I was looking for something, now if I can’t find a similar one, my grandfather will break my leg, blah blah blah…]

Qian Xiaolan looked at the message and deduced that this was a similar era to her original world, but this first customer was too chatty. Tin tea canister. Qian Xiaolan immediately thought of the one she had thrown into the space, with a thought, she took the tea canister out of the warehouse. She hadn’t told her how to trade, so she walked up to the main screen and fumbled around to see how to hand the item to the other party.

After studying it for a while, there were no switches or buttons, she thought for a moment and directly put the tin tea canister against the screen. The next moment, the screen changed, two switches appeared, Video Trade/Text Trade. Qian Xiaolan didn’t have time to look closely, she pressed Video Trade. The next moment, a modern-style room appeared in front of her. And the space where Qian Xiaolan was at the same time was assimilated by the environment in the screen.

In the room opposite, a handsome young man with an earring was staring at Qian Xiaolan through the computer screen with a shocked expression. Qian Xiaolan was also stunned for a while, after she came to her senses, she raised the item in her hand and asked him: “Did you request this?” The young man came to his senses when he heard the voice, he nodded vigorously: “Yes, yes, yes, it’s me.

 Hello, beautiful lady, my name is Wenxuan, what’s your name?” Qian Xiaolan saw that there was no other expression in his eyes except shock, she nodded to him and said calmly: “Qian Xiaolan.” Wenxuan saw that she was calm, making him feel like a country bumpkin who had never seen the world, he coughed awkwardly: “That, Qian, Miss Qian, can I take a look at the tea canister in your hand?” Qian Xiaolan looked at the space that was completely assimilated, she reached out and handed him the item.

 The tea canister reached the other party’s hand without any obstacles, Qian Xiaolan felt a little relieved. Wenxuan took the tea canister and looked at it for a while, excitedly: “I want this tea canister, what do I need to exchange it for?”
