Natural disaster at the beginning: I will lead the system to build a safe zone

Not to mention the father and daughter who have recognized each other but each have their own ulterior motives.

On this side, Shi Anan and others also arrived in Cangwu City. Chen Huairen and others continued to sell goods in the old place, while Shi Anan accompanied Xiao Yi to rest in the inn.

It’s my first day here, so I’m not in a hurry to go out for a walk.

When they just came from the city gate, they did feel the popularity of Cangwu City. Although the people were still wearing shabby clothes and had sad faces, their basic mental outlook was still good.

There are many street vendors, but things like food and tea are extremely expensive, which is why the things they bring are so popular. After all, no one can refuse food that is both cheap and delicious.

Although Guangming Town and even Qinghe County are not as popular as Cangwu City now, Shi Anan is confident that life there must be no worse than Cangwu City. Besides, popularity is something that she will have once she attracts more people to settle down!

Thanks to the systematic medicine, after a few days of rest, Xiao Yi's injuries have been completely healed, and Shi Anan is also ready to stroll around Cangwu City with Xiao Yi.

Although Shi Anan stayed in the inn with Xiao Yi and did not go anywhere these days, Chen Huairen and others would inform her of the sales situation every day when they were outside.

In addition, while they were selling goods, they were secretly promoting the existence of Qinghe County. Now, many people have become interested in the place that can provide these cheap and delicious food and novel goods. A group of refugees even headed towards Qinghe County two days ago.

This also saves Shi Anan from having to find ways to promote it. After all, it is on someone else's territory, and some things can't be too out of the ordinary.

During the few days they rested, Chen Huairen and others had sold all their goods. They also bought some specialties unique to Cangwu City and prepared to take them back to Qinghe County to sell. However, compared with their cheap and good quality goods, the things here were really too expensive, so they did not buy much.

"Ms. Shi, do you really not need us to accompany you here for a few more days?" Chen Huairen asked at the dinner table.

Because they had sold all their goods and bought all the goods they should buy, Shi Anan asked them to go back to Qinghe County first, and if they met refugees on the way, they could lead the way. Not only that, for their safety, Shi Anan also asked all the security team members to follow them back and escort them all the way.

But Chen Huairen and the others were obviously not comfortable leaving Shi Anan and Xiao Yi alone in Cangwu City.

Shi Anan nodded and said, "No need. Xiao Yi's injuries have healed now. It's enough for him to protect me. You are carrying so much goods. You may encounter those refugees who wanted to steal food on the way. It would be better if the security team goes back with you."

"Xiao Yi and I have other arrangements later, so it's not convenient to bring so many people." Shi Anan did not tell Chen Huairen and others about the search for the sulfur mine. After all, this mineral is a relatively sensitive thing. Although she trusts these businessmen, it would be better if fewer people knew the specific location of the sulfur mine.

Chen Huairen and the others thought that Shi Anan was just curious about the provincial capital, so she came along this time. When they heard her say that she had other plans, they also thought that she wanted to spend a few more days here alone with Xiao Yi, so they nodded and said, "Okay, then you guys should pay attention to safety. We will return after lunch."

They are doing business, and every extra day they stay outside means an extra day's cost. This time, due to the sandstorm, they have already wasted a lot of time, and they also have things at home to deal with, so Chen Huairen and others are still quite eager to return.

***

After the meal, the caravan left, and Shi Anan and Xiao Yi began to wander around Cangwu City.

There is a West Street in Cangwu City, which is a commercial street and also the most lively place in the city. The first place they went to was West Street.

There are shops lining both sides of the street, including cloth shops selling cloth, jewelry stores selling jewelry, pastry shops selling cakes, and various snack stalls. Pedestrians come and go in an endless stream.

Since leaving the capital, Shi Anan hasn't seen such a bustling ancient street for a long time. Even when she was in the capital before, she only went out once or twice. At that time, she heard about the end of the world, so she had no mood to stroll around. But she didn't feel sorry in her heart.

Later, I arrived at Guangming Village, where the facilities were even more backward. Although it has now been upgraded to Guangming Town and has become Qinghe County, it is far less lively than Cangwu City because of its small population.

Shi Anan looked at the shops on the street with shining eyes. Qinghe County is also developing rapidly now. When they return, it will surely become as lively as Cangwu City.

Xiao Yi was not as careless as Shi Anan who was only focused on looking at things. All his eyes were on Shi Anan, and his body unconsciously moved closer to her in a protective posture.

She probably didn't know that because of their superior looks, they had attracted a lot of people's attention along the way. Some people wanted to get close to her, but were pushed away by Xiao Yi without saying a word.

"My dear, the food at the snack stand smells so good, let's go and try it!" Shi Anan dragged Xiao Yi's hand and walked towards the snack stand.

The stall owner saw the two and greeted them warmly: "Sir, please try our Cangwu City's special snacks. I guarantee you will be left with an unforgettable aftertaste."

Shi Anan smiled and said, "Give us two servings!"

The stall owner happily responded, "Okay, I'll give you one tael of silver."

Because she had just eaten at a restaurant, Shi Anan had an idea of ​​the prices in Cangwu City. Without changing her expression, she took out a tael of silver from her pocket and handed it to the stall owner. The stall owner smiled even wider when he saw how generous they were.

While doing this, he chatted with them: "Sir, you are not from our Cangwu City, right?"

Shi Anan raised her eyebrows: "No, how did you know that?"

The stall owner smiled, his hands moving non-stop: "If I had seen someone as good-looking as you, I would definitely remember that there are very few outsiders coming to Cangwu City. Recently, because of the war in the north, many people have fled to our place, so there are many new faces here."

Xiao Yi heard the key point and asked, "War in the north? I heard that the north was in chaos due to drought, but what is the situation of war?"

The stall owner said, "Well, people who don't know the situation will definitely think it was caused by a natural disaster, but for businesses like ours, we see a lot of people every day, so we naturally have sources of information."

The stall owner's voice suddenly became quieter, and he said mysteriously, "It is said that there is a man who calls himself the King of the North who started an uprising in the north. He led his army all the way from the north and even conquered Liangzhou. Moreover, this King of the North is extremely cruel, and the people are living in misery wherever he goes."

After saying this, the stall owner shook his head with regret.

Seeing him so calm, Shi Anan couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you afraid that those people will come here to fight?"

The stall owner smiled and said, "Our place is so remote and far from Liangzhou. Why would the King of the Northern Territory come here? If he wants to fight, he can at most go to Jiangnan, where there is a lot of wealth."

"What's more, I'm just an ordinary citizen. I just know a little more. If the King of the Northern Territory really wants to attack, our Lord Zhao will definitely find a way to solve it."

Shi Anan: "You really trust your Lord Zhao."

The stall owner packed up the snacks without stopping and handed them to Shi Anan: "Lord Zhao is a good official! The snacks are ready, please take them!"
