After Reincarnating into Ancient Times, She Bound a Express Delivery System

Qi Huan's curiosity was piqued.

"Why not tell me now?"

"Qi sister, you should eat first, otherwise the food will get cold and won't taste good, hehe."

Yan Qing chuckled, handing her the chopsticks, and then followed Yan Ge to lunch.

In the grand scheme of things, eating is paramount.

Qi Huan picked up her chopsticks and ate heartily. After she was full and satisfied, she waited for Yan Qing to explain.

Finally, Yan Qing came over, brimming with gossip!

Qi Huan immediately sat up straight, ready to listen: "Come on, what happened?"

She was eager to know if it was about Shu and the supplies.

Sure enough, it was just that.

"Qi sister, I heard from people in the caravan that Prince An led people to find a lot of steamed buns and water in the cemetery outside the city!"

"It's been the talk of the town, inside and out. Prince An is blessed with good fortune, surely he will lead us all safely through this drought."

"Some people are skeptical, claiming it's all a facade. But the boxes used for the steamed buns and the bottles for the water are so unique, they defy explanation."

"Some refugees said that on their escape from famine, when they were close to death, they also found similar provisions. They excitedly claimed that the deity they encountered, and the deity in Prince An's dreams, were the same."

"Prince An told them that this deity is called Little Seven. More than his own praises, he hopes the people will remember that it was Little Seven who truly helped them, guiding him to find these supplies."

At this point, Yan Qing giggled and speculated: "The Little Seven that Prince An mentioned must be Qi sister!"

"I heard that after finding the supplies, Prince An distributed them all to the refugees outside the city gates this morning. There were too many refugees, and not everyone got some, but Prince An also distributed rice porridge."

"Meanwhile, the name of the deity Little Seven has spread throughout Yunzhou City. The people say, the drought is because the heavens were angry, and they thought they would barely survive. But Prince An and the deity Little Seven have given them hope for life."

Yan Qing looked up at Qi Huan with admiration, her eyes twinkling with stars.

Then, she remembered something else: "Qi sister, do you have any medicine for heatstroke? I heard that many refugees outside the city are suffering from it... and there's a shortage of herbs in the city..."

Qi Huan immediately thought of Huoxiang Zhengqi Water, which she had in a medical box she received earlier.

"System, how many points do I have now?"

"Host, your current balance is 55,555."

With this in mind, she began to plan which supplies to repurchase tonight.

There were other medicines in the box, but that was no issue, as the space had a preservation function, so there was no worry about the medicines expiring. She could pick out the Huoxiang Zhengqi Water and then recycle the other medicines back into the space.

Additionally, she wanted to exchange some mung beans, which could be used to make mung bean porridge to prevent heatstroke and also serve as a filling food.

She had given the system one hundred thousand points for an upgrade, and in return, the system unlocked ten free search functions for her, though using the first one on mung beans seemed somewhat unworthy.

But for now, it was necessary. Moreover, as long as she worked hard to earn points, she would gain more search capabilities. With this in mind, using them no longer felt painful.

Besides medicine, mung beans, steamed buns, and water, she planned to repurchase some seasonings, selecting salt to leave for the disaster victims.

In the sweltering weather, constantly sweating, the only food available was porridge or steamed buns, which did not replenish sodium ions.

Thus, she planned to leave some salt behind for the disaster victims to make light saltwater.

Night fell.

Li Shuchen arrived later than yesterday.

"Qi Huan, are you sleepy?"

"Not sleepy, I slept a lot during the day. What about you, are you tired?" Qi Huan tiptoed, reached up to touch the stubble just appearing on his face, and looked into his eyes, red with bloodshot, full of sympathy.

"Why don't you tell Yan Ge the location to drop off the supplies, and have her take me instead. You're busy during the day and at night, it must be exhausting?"

"I really feel for you."

She hugged Li Shuchen, her face pressed against his chest, inhaling the fragrance of his clothes, her eyes slightly moist.

Li Shuchen hugged her back, his head resting on her shoulder, his voice deep and tender.

"Holding you, I am truly myself. I want to see you, every day, that's why I came."

As the news of "Little Seven's gift of water and food" spread, more and more people watched the government office and Yunzhou City, taking her to drop off supplies was dangerous, he couldn't trust her safety to someone else, even though she had a life-saving "mount."

He could have found other reasons to explain the water and food. But he didn't want to take credit for her deeds, to keep her hidden behind the scenes, unseen.

Her goodness should be known to the world.

Her kindness should be praised by all.

When the time is right, he would let the world know, Little Seven is Qi Huan.

He wanted the world to remember her name, not just because of his affection, but because of her good deeds.

She was never his appendage, but a shining individual.

Despite the difficult journey, he would protect her thoroughly.

Gathering his thoughts, Li Shuchen released her, quickly pecked her moist lips, his eyes twinkling with a smile, said, "Taking a breath of my little fairy's aura, I feel recharged. Let's go."

Once again held in his arms, Qi Huan laughed sweetly.

Upon reaching the new supply storage location, she repurchased water, steamed buns, mung beans, a medicine box, and a seasoning box.

She took out Huoxiang Zhengqi water from the medicine box and table salt from the seasoning box, packing the remaining items back into her space, which was stuffed full.

She had just earned over fifty thousand points today, spending over forty thousand to repurchase a large amount of water and steamed buns, enough to feed the displaced people for nearly ten days.

"My magical powers are strong today! So I provided enough for ten days at once, you don't have to keep running around every day, you can get some good sleep."

After saying this, she yawned.

Seeing her sleepy, Li Shuchen immediately took her back to the city, leaving Yan Wu and other shadow guards to watch over the place.

By the time they reached the courtyard, Qi Huan was already asleep in his arms, breathing softly, like a little kitten.

Gently, Li Shuchen laid her on the bed, relieved her of her shoes and socks, and was about to clean her hands and feet when she woke up again, rubbing her sleepy eyes, her voice soft and dainty at the first stir of consciousness.

"Shu, you should go back soon. Once you've finished your tasks, remember to make up for the lost sleep, and take good care of yourself."

Li Shuchen nodded, then leaned toward her: "A goodnight kiss."

Amazed at his learning capability, Qi Huan kissed him, giggling, "Goodnight."

"Goodnight."

Qi Huan got up to put on her shoes, intending to see him out, but was stopped by him: "Rest well, you don't need to walk me out."

"Oh..." Qi Huan greedily stared at his retreating, statuesque figure.

She didn't have to venture out of town to distribute supplies the next day, and she wondered if Shu would come to see her.

The next day, after waking up from her nap.

Qi Huan stretched and moved about in her room. Sleeping in the car with the air conditioning on was comfortable, but laying down for too long still eventually became uncomfortable.

The system thoughtfully played background music for her: "Turn left three times, turn right three times, twist your neck, twist your hips...."
