Chapter 25: The calm before the storm

After listening to Tao Qiqi's explanation, everyone immediately understood.

"It seems that we have to be more careful in the future. We won't be able to save people casually on the road in the future." Fang Yu said, feeling a little scared just thinking about it.

Tao Qiqi raised her lips to comfort: "Rescuing people depends on the situation, and the impact will not be big. But in the future, no matter what the reason is, it is best not to take people in casually before our team reaches the south and separates."

Jiang Ye nodded and agreed: "That's right. Now the enemy is in the dark and we are in the open. If you take people in at will and fail to protect them all, you are a spy. Thanks to Mr. Tao for taking action quickly, otherwise we might have to sleep in jail tonight."

Tao Qiqi echoed: "In addition, the person just now will not give up, and may find ways to get closer to us, so in the future, no matter it is the person just now, or whoever is approaching us, we must be careful and protect ourselves."

."

"Yes." The group received Tao Qiqi's reminder and all nodded.

"Okay, it's getting late, let's go to bed early." After Tao Qiqi finished speaking, she yawned and was the first to crawl back to bed to sleep.

Because I was so upset about what happened just now, it will be midnight if I don’t sleep.

And who knows if anything else will happen later.

The most important thing is to take advantage of this opportunity to take the time to sleep.

Tao Qiqi fell directly into sleep as soon as she lay down.

Then everyone else returned to their places to sleep.

The next day——

It was just dawning when the sound of bustling footsteps could be heard on the street below, as well as the sound of store doors opening.

Tao Qiqi was leaning against the window, and with her own keen ability, she could clearly hear what was going on downstairs, so she woke up early.

Looking at the group of people sleeping soundly, Tao Qiqi did not disturb their sweet dreams, and simply prepared to close her eyes and enter the space to meditate.

But as soon as she closed her eyes, she suddenly thought of Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai.

I was thinking about bringing Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai into the space to see if absorbing the aura of the space would change them.

If there can be some changes, no matter how much, it would be good for them.

Thinking about it, Tao Qiqi opened her eyes and tiptoed to send Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai sleeping next to her into the space. Then she closed her eyes and entered the space with her consciousness.

Looking at the little black and white little ones with shining eyes in the space, Tao Qiqi knew that they must have feelings.

"Xiao Hei, Xiao Bai, you guys can play here for a while, but you can't cause any damage, you know? I'll meditate here for a while and I'll take you out later." After Tao Qiqi finished speaking, Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai seemed to listen.

As if he understood, he nodded and ran away to play.

Tao Qiqi began to meditate on the futon beside the well.

When she heard something moving outside, she sent Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai out of the space and placed them under the quilt.

Because of the thrilling thing that happened last night, everyone got up early in the morning and after having breakfast, they decided to leave the city and continue on their way.

Of course, on the way out of the city, I met a steamed stuffed bun seller, so Tao Qiqi didn't forget to buy some. I also bought two beggar's chickens, so they didn't need to light a fire to cook at noon today.

However, just after buying the beggar's chicken, Tao Qiqi saw a group of people walking to the market carrying a lot of fish.

"Hello, are you going to take these fish to the market to sell?" Tao Qiqi hurriedly called to them.

The leader of the old man smiled and replied: "Yes, Master, do you want to buy it?"

"How do you sell this fish?" Tao Qiqi asked.

"This big one costs twenty cents a pound, and this small one costs eighty cents a barrel." The old man replied.

Tao Qiqi took a look and saw that the big fish were hung with dry straw. There were crucian carp and carp, but most of them were dead. They looked quite fresh, and they must have died not long ago.

The small fish were packed in buckets, and all of them were still alive and kicking.

Seeing that Tao Qiqi was silent, the old man smiled and said: "The price is already very good at this time. Originally, the fish raised in our village would not be released into the pond for sale until the end of the year. But now, the fish pond

The water had dried up, so we had no choice but to fish out and sell them."

The young man who was carrying the fish with the old man saw this and also agreed: "It's not like us, just the fish we carry to the market, will be sold out in a short time."

"I want these two buckets of small fish, and a few more big fish. But can you wait for me? I have to buy a big bucket. Don't worry, my carriage is just ahead. After I buy it with you,

, you can arrange for a person to wait for me there, and after I buy the big barrel, I can return your barrel to you, is that possible?"

"Okay, okay." The old man nodded quickly in agreement.

Then Tao Qiqi picked a few big fish that were still alive, and then selected two buckets of small fish.

After weighing, Tao Qiqi personally put the big fish in the bucket temporarily, and secretly put some spiritual spring water in the bucket. Of course, it couldn't be seen with the naked eye.

After paying the money and sending the fish back to the team, Tao Qiqi hurried to the market and bought an extra large wooden barrel.

Then pour all the fish into the big bucket.

Every time she poured a bucket, she would reach out and stir the bucket twice, then put some spiritual spring water in.

After putting the fish in the big bucket, Qiqi returned the buckets of peaches to the villagers.

After all this trouble, the whole morning passed, but Tao Qiqi and the others would also have something to eat in the future.

Finally, he left the city happily.

"Mr. Tao, did you just buy so many fish just to keep them all the way?" Jiang Ye couldn't help but asked curiously on the way.

"Well, if we keep it like this for the time being, there are so many of us and we can't actually eat more than a few meals. I'll think of ways to process it when I go to the city to rest next time." Tao Qiqi replied.

In fact, the most important thing was to find opportunities to put some small fish into the fields in the space to raise, so she bought more small fish.

After hearing Tao Qiqi's explanation, Jiang Ye stopped asking any more questions.

Drive the carriage and move on.

But what is surprising is that they were very calm during the two days.

I didn't meet the person from the inn that day, nor did I meet anyone else trying to get close to them.

Not even a killer.

At noon, Tao Qiqi and the others chose a shady place to rest on the mountainside.

"Qiqi, since we met that incident at the post house that night, the person you mentioned has never appeared, and there has been nothing unusual in the past two days. Could it be that we are too sensitive?" Fang Yu said as he struggled.

While eating porridge, she looked at Tao Qiqi and asked in confusion.

Tao Qiqi, who was secretly filling the spiritual spring water for the fish, stopped what she was doing after hearing Fang Yu's words, looked at Fang Yu and asked, "Have you ever heard of a saying called the calm before the storm?"

Fang Yu didn't understand, shook his head and asked, "What do you mean?"

"It means, even though nothing has happened in the past few days, maybe they are planning some big conspiracy." As soon as Tao Qiqi finished speaking, there was some movement in the grass not far away.

Tao Qiqi turned around and looked, and then whispered to everyone: "Speak of Cao Cao, Cao Cao will be here soon."

After everyone listened to Tao Qiqi's words, they looked where Tao Qiqi had just looked and saw a figure crawling out of the grass.

Isn't this the person who was kicked out of the room by Tao Qiqi with a hidden weapon that night?
