As for Qiu Ling, after four hours of transfers and twists and turns, he finally arrived at the city center.

The first thing I did after getting off the bus was to run to the toilet to take care of my personal problems.

She had been holding it in all the way and didn't even dare to get out of the car to pee when it stopped at the service area.

I feel relaxed all over now, but my stomach is growling.

She walked into a random shop and had a bowl of noodles.

After filling my stomach, I went to a Chinese medicine clinic on the street.

The doctor took her pulse and felt her bones and found that Qiu Ling had only suffered some minor skin injuries, which showed signs of healing after being treated with medicine.

That’s right, she seemed to have been beaten badly today, but because of her proper defense, her internal organs and bones were not injured. The reason why she vomited blood was really because she accidentally bit her mouth!

Speaking of which, this is all thanks to Liu Jun!

During the years she was locked up in the cellar, he would beat her whenever he was unhappy. Over time, she actually developed the skill of subconsciously dodging.

The doctor thought Qiu Ling was being abused and asked if he wanted to help her call the police.

Qiu Ling smiled and said that he was injured while practicing boxing, and the doctor then hung up the phone.

When I walked out of the Chinese medicine clinic, it was almost dusk.

The housing problem must be solved as soon as possible.

Qiu Ling doesn't want to sleep on the streets.

Unfortunately, housing prices in the city center are too expensive. A one-bedroom apartment costs 500 yuan a month!

After deducting the transportation fee, meal fee and medical fee, she only had 1400 left.

She couldn't spend money lavishly until she found a job.

In desperation, Qiu Ling began to walk along the road towards the edge of the city.

You know what, she really managed to find a suitable house before dark.

Located in the main urban area but close to the suburbs, it is a two-story self-built house with a brick and stone structure.

The landlord is going to work in another place, and he thinks it would be better to rent out the house because it would cost money to find someone to look after the house.

As soon as the rental information was posted, Qiu Ling saw it.

After a closer look, she saw that the monthly rent was only 200, so she wanted to buy it on the spot.

Unexpectedly, the other party asked for annual rent payment.

Qiu Ling could only shamelessly play the victim, and with her eloquence, she finally managed to get half a year's payment.

Seeing that Qiu Ling was indeed very poor, the landlord confiscated the deposit.

After signing the contract and paying the money, Qiu Ling was left with only the last 200 yuan in his pocket.

Qiu Ling moved in that night.

The owner of the house felt sorry for her and kept the bedding that he was going to throw away. He also said that all the important things had been put away on the second floor, and she could use whatever she wanted on the first floor and in the woodshed.

Before leaving, the homeowner locked the stairs to the second floor and gave careful instructions before leaving.

Only after finishing all this did Qiu Ling feel relieved.

Surprisingly, she didn't feel any discomfort at all in the strange environment. She fell on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

I slept until noon the next day.

Qiu Ling was awakened by hunger.

I rummaged under the pillow for a long time, where is her cell phone?

I opened my eyes irritably and looked at the unfamiliar ceiling.

My thoughts began to come back.

Qiu Ling resigned herself to her fate, stood up, put on her slippers, and hunched over to the kitchen.

After searching around, I only found a bunch of simple seasonings.

It seems I have to go out to find food.

Qiu Ling locked the door and pocketed the only remaining 200 yuan.

After dinner, she will take another half day off today. Starting tomorrow she will have to go out and find a job.

I wonder how long this amount of money will be enough for me to live?

Ah, I'm really hungry. My stomach aches.

Qiu Ling walked on the road with difficulty, looking for a restaurant.

As I passed by the next door, a basin of cold water was suddenly poured over me.

"Splash!" Qiu Ling was chilled to the bone.

You know what, it’s quite cool.

I just feel a little dizzy.

At this time, an old lady with white hair came trotting over, "Yangyang, you are playing in the water again!"

She jumped down the stairs and was about to apologize to the girl in front of her when she saw her leaning back, "Hey, little girl!"

Before fainting, Qiu Ling felt herself falling into a soft embrace.

After a period of unconsciousness, I felt my mouth being filled with sweet water.

Slowly, Qiu Ling regained consciousness.

Then I could see clearly that I had fallen on top of an old lady, and they were both lying on the curb.

Finally she woke up, the old lady's pale face slowly regained color, "Little girl, is your blood sugar low?"

Qiu Ling nodded slightly, rubbed his head and sat up, smacking the sweet taste in his mouth, thinking of the sweet water poured into his mouth when he fainted, and nodded slightly to the old lady, "Thank you for the sweet water just now."

"You're welcome, you're welcome! It's just a bowl of sweet water." The old lady helped Qiu Ling stand up and glared at her little grandson who was standing aside as punishment. "My grandson was naughty and splashed water all over you. I'm so sorry."

"Yangyang, apologize to your auntie!"

The little boy was really scared when Qiu Ling fainted just now. How could a basin of water kill someone?

Will he be caught by the police?

He doesn't want to squat on the fence!

Oh oh oh!

The little kid thought of the farewell scene with his parents and grandma. Tears were still hanging under his eyelids. He scratched his hands in fear and said, "Auntie, I'm sorry."

Qiu Ling smiled awkwardly and shook her head. Even without the basin of water, she would still feel dizzy.

As soon as I moved, my stomach started to growl.

Yangyang blinked and blurted out: "Grandma, Auntie's belly is talking!"

Qiu Ling pressed her belly, feeling the rumbling sounds from her abdomen, causing her skin and flesh to tremble slightly.

She is now empty-pocketed, empty-stomachic and empty-headed.

The old lady then looked Qiu Ling over from head to toe.

The child looked very thin, with many bruises on his arms and a swollen face.

Looks like he's been abused.

I guess the fainting just now was not due to hypoglycemia, but due to hunger!

The old lady immediately imagined a bloody scene in her mind where a poor little white flower was being exploited and hiding in a dark corner licking her wounds.

Others can’t even appreciate the love they receive, yet some people don’t cherish it!

Suppressing her anger, she lovingly took Qiu Ling's hand and said, "Child, I'm making noodles. To show my apology, can I treat you to some noodles?"

I won’t tell you whose eyes lit up.

But soon, reason prevailed.

She had just arrived and didn't know much about the surroundings.

Qiu Ling was very grateful to the old lady for saving her, but she should have been wary of strangers.

"Thank you, but you don't need to have dinner. Can I borrow two sets of clothes from you?

I live next door to you, and I will return it to you after I clean it."

The old lady's eyes lit up, "So you are the new neighbor who just moved in next door."

Qiu Ling nodded weakly.

The old lady smiled brightly: "You wait."

She went back to the house.

After a while, he came out holding a pile of clothes, "These are the old clothes that my daughter-in-law is going to throw away." After saying that, he was afraid that Qiu Ling would dislike it, so he hurriedly explained, "But they are all washed, you can wear them, you don't have to return them."

"I see your shoes are wet too. Here are a pair of new slippers. Take them too."

The slippers are brand new and still have the tag.

Qiu Ling quickly touched his pocket and said, "How much is it? I'll give it to you."

"Don't do that. These slippers have been at home for two or three years and haven't been touched. Just wear them."

Qiu Ling didn't want to owe anyone a favor just when she arrived.

Since the old lady didn't tell her the price, she just stuffed 5 dollars into her pocket according to the prices of that era.

The old lady was helpless and afraid that her enthusiasm would scare people, so she had to accept the money.

After drinking the sugar water, Qiu Ling regained some strength. She was weak now and could not go out wearing wet clothes. If she caught a cold and had a fever by accident, she would definitely be as light as four pockets.

I was in a hurry to leave this time and didn't bring any clothes with me.

Fortunately, it was given to me by a kind-hearted person.

This dress is a little big and it keeps hanging on my body.

It is very similar to the loose style of later generations.

"Knock knock knock!"

There's a knock on the door.

Qiu Ling slowly opened the door and asked, "What are you doing?"

The old lady next door stepped forward with a basket of vegetables in her hand and said, "I made too much noodles with soybean paste for lunch, you can have some!

If you feel weak, take a good rest and don't go out wandering around.

My daughter-in-law also has hypoglycemia. Last time she fainted in the middle of the road. It was scary! "

This basket not only contains noodles and vegetables, but also a full pot of sauce!

The old lady pushed the basket into Qiu Ling's hand and said, "My last name is Wang, you can call me Grandma Wang. We'll be neighbors from now on. If you encounter any difficulties, just let me know. Don't be embarrassed to go out alone."

"Eh..." Qiu Ling wanted to say something.

Grandma Wang turned and left.

This old lady...makes such a delicious sauce!

Saliva was secreted wildly, and Qiu Ling's stomach was singing the cruel and cruel empty city plan.

If this old lady really wanted to harm me, my fainting just now would have been the best time.

Qiu Ling ran out of the door and shouted to the neighbors: "Thank you!"

She will repay this help in the future!

Carrying the basket, he returned to the main room.

After digging around, I found two cucumbers, two carrots, and two portions of noodles, one wet and one dry.

The wet ones are the noodles that have been cooked and then rinsed with cold water.

Qiu Ling washed out a pair of clean chopsticks, pried a large amount of sauce onto the cooked noodles and mixed it evenly, then took a bite of the cucumber and ate a mouthful of noodles.

Oh my god, this smell!

The fried sauce is salty and fragrant, and the noodles are chewy.

I won’t change it even if a god comes!
