Chapter 286: An Early Death
Xing Jiuan seemed to have sorted out her emotions later on and continued to choose the snacks she wanted to buy. Ou Qi was beside her, while Mu Qing and Lu Mingxi were behind her. There were a lot of snacks in the two trolleys.
When they reached the chocolate section, Xing Jiuan paused and walked over.
Mu Qing stopped her.
“Jiuan.”
Xing Jiuan stopped.
“Jiuan, is there any chocolate you want here?”
Xing Jiuan shook her head. “Senior Brother, I don’t eat chocolates anymore.”
Mu Qing did not speak. He took two boxes of chocolates and placed them in the car. “Let’s go.”
Xing Jiuan walked slowly in front.
After choosing what they wanted to buy, Mu Qing and Lu Mingxi pushed the cart to pay. Ou Qi pulled Xing Jiuan out to wait for them.
“Jiuan, what do you want to eat for dinner?”
Xing Jiuan shook her head. “I don’t know either.”
“Is there anything you want to eat?” Ou Qi asked, blinking again. “We just moved here, we need to cook something delicious.”
The farm had already informed them that everything would be delivered soon. It would be dinner in two or three hours, and they had to think about what to eat in advance before making preparations.
Xing Jiuan thought for a moment. “I want to eat sweet and sour pork.”
“Anything else?”
“…No.”
Ou Qi sighed. “Alright, I’ll cook as I see fit. I’ll try to cook a few delicious dishes.”
Xing Jiuan patted her shoulder. “I believe in your cooking skills.”
Ou Qi’s culinary skills had always been very good. In the past few years, Xing Jiuan had often eaten her cooking.
Mu Qing would cook occasionally, and Lu Mingxi was usually the a.s.sistant.
When the others returned and they were about to leave, they saw an old man outside.
He was not considered elderly.
Although his hair was white, he still looked like a middle-aged man. He looked to be in his forties or fifties.
Wearing a long gown, he looked very sage-like.
“Wait.” The old man stopped them.
To be precise, he stopped Xing Jiuan.
Xing Jiuan suddenly stopped. She was not angry, but she did not understand. “Old man, is something the matter?”
“Your calamity is difficult, and your mind is unstable. You will die early.”
Apart from Xing Jiuan, the expressions of the other three darkened.
“Old man, you can eat whatever you want, but you can’t talk nonsense, okay?” Ou Qi pulled Xing Jiuan to the back and looked at the old man in front of her with coldness in her eyes.
“If you have time to continue to spout nonsense, take care of your own body first.”
“I’m not a moral person who respects the older.”
“Young lady, why are you so angry?” The elder did not seem to care about Ou Qi’s words. He looked at Xing Jiuan. “Do you believe me?”
Xing Jiuan remained silent.
If it was about her previous life, she would have believed it.
But she would live well in this life.
She would live a long life.
“If you want to cheat us, why are you blocking us? I’m not a good-tempered person. If you get hurt, we’ll at most pay you a medical bill,” Lu Mingxi said.
He was not someone with a good temper either. Not to mention, the strange old man in front of him was actually cursing Xing Jiuan.
“I don’t believe you,” Xing Jiuan said.
The old man glanced at her.
“So, can we go over now?”
The elder paused. “I don’t have anywhere to go recently. Can you take me in for two days?”
“I’ll probably find my family soon.”
