Chapter 184 - 184: Seawater
The bucket with the shells was not very big, only about one-fifth the size of the bucket with the fish.
After all, the auntie didn’t plan to sell it, so there was only a little seawater in it. It was basically a stack of shells.
These shells were much bigger than ordinary shells. When Ye Xingchen took the bucket with a smile, he saw that the shells were still opening and closing as they breathed.
“It’s so fresh. Thank you, Auntie.”
Ye Xingchen handed over two boxes of brand-new anti-inflammatory medicine. The auntie smiled so much that her eyes became narrow moons.
“Thank you, young man. Come again another day. I’ll save you some seashells.”
Fortunately, the location of this auntie’s stall was relatively remote, so no one else saw Ye Xingchen take out two boxes of anti-inflammatory medicine. The auntie also took the stuff very carefully and put it away.
Her income for one night was more than what other people earned in a month. After all, many people who came to the night market here were from the nearby area, which meant that everyone did not really lack food. Even if there were people from other places who drove over to buy food, they were not customers who came every day.
So even though the auntie usually didn’t have many customers, Ye Xingchen alone provided her with more medicine than the others who had set up their stalls for so long.
However, at this time, no one knew when the strange weather would return to normal. Therefore, even though the auntie had stored several boxes of medicine at home, she still had to come out to set up a stall.
“By the way, young man, do you have the medicine to relieve the heat? Like that Herbal Water? If there is, then you can buy seafood from me. I can accept it.”
The auntie’s family had a clear division of labor. Her son would go out to fish from late at night to early in the morning when the night market was closed. Her daughter-in-law would stay at home to take care of the family’s affairs, including doing some crafts. At night, she would set up a stall on the other side of the night market.
When Ye Xingchen heard the auntie’s words, he understood. It was probably because the auntie’s son had suffered from the heat when he went out to catch fish, so he was not feeling well now.
Ye Xingchen nodded, indicating that he understood. He felt that it was not a loss for him. After all, there were thousands of boxes of Herbal Water in his space, because it was summer when he was reborn.
At that time, the pharmaceutical factory was mass-producing all kinds of summer medicine, so the price was very cheap, much cheaper than usual. Therefore, after Ye Xingchen bought everything, he used the remaining money to buy a lot of cheap and discounted summer medicine in the space.
Although at that time, he had mocked himself for spending money recklessly, now, it seemed that he had hit the jackpot.
At that time, Ye Xingchen would never have thought that there would be such a ridiculously high temperature after the extreme cold. He was wholeheartedly preparing things to resist the cold. Those various medicines were all because of his insecure feelings. He always felt that he should prepare everything just in case.
He even thought about where this summer medicine might be useful. He felt that if the temperature in the safe house was too high, he might get a heatstroke.
At that time, the price of Herbal Water was just half of the price of anti-inflammatory medicine, however, the current value of Herbal Water was slightly higher than that of anti-inflammatory medicine. Ye Xingchen had such a huge reserve, this undoubtedly saved Ye Xingchen’s cost.
It was Lin Sijia’s first time here, but not for Mo Qi and Zhao Hao. Mo Qi and Qin Tianming were around the same age, soon after Ye Xingchen brought Mo Qi to live in this safety fortress, Mo Qi and Qin Tianming started to play together.
Now, Mo Qi and Qin Tianming were running around with Little Black, Ye Xingchen was accompanying Lin Sijia in the night market, and Zhao Hao was like a bodyguard, following behind Ye Xingchen and Lin Sijia.
When they came over today, the temperature seemed to be a little hotter than usual, so the night market today was not as bustling as usual.
The air was a little stuffy, and the sky in the distance was dark. Lin Sijia walked for a while and basically browsed the entire night market.
She bought all kinds of living things that she saw. Lin Sijia was in a very good mood. One reason was that ever since she came to Ye Xingchen’s house and lived with Ye Xingchen, she had almost never left the house. Even the most recent time she went out was when she moved to the safety fortress.
This was the first time Lin Sijia had really gone out to play in a long time.
It had been a long time since they had seen so many people and so many lively faces. Before this, in the cold, even when Lin Sijia came to treat people, they had always been covered up because of the cold.
“How are you? Are you tired?”
Ye Xingchen reached out and pulled Lin Sijia into his arms. Zhao Hao, who was following behind Ye Xingchen, couldn’t help but feel wistful when he saw the sweet interaction between Ye Xingchen and Lin Sijia. Then, he let out a long sigh.
It had to be said that although Li Anran had some problems with her character, was a little scheming, and always spoke ill of Ye Xingchen, Zhao Hao couldn’t help but think of Li Anran at this moment. After all, she was his first woman.
“Yeah, a little. It’s quite stuffy here. There’s no wind at all.”
There was indeed no wind tonight. Previously, when Ye Xingchen and the others came over, the seashore was always slightly windy. Today, there was actually no wind at all.
“Alright, then let’s go back. I’ll go find Mo Qi and the others.”
Ye Xingchen also wanted to go home. After all, the heat here made him feel uncomfortable from the bottom of his heart. He even felt a little uneasy.
When Ye Xingchen found Mo Qi and Qin Tianming, they were walking on the beach with Little Black.
Ye Xingchen didn’t want to take off his shoes and go down barefooted. He called out to Mo Qi and Qin Tianming.
There was only a beach between the night market and the sea. The beach was not particularly wide, but there was still some distance.
Finally, after Zhao Hao and Ye Xingchen shouted for the fifth or sixth time, Mo Qi and Qin Tianming heard them and turned around to wave.
As soon as they turned around, Little Black ran two steps to the beach and licked the seawater that surged up very naturally.
“Let’s go home.”
Ye Xingchen frowned and looked at Little Black from afar..
