Chapter 54: People in Panic and Friends

Shopkeeper Qian really didn't doubt the truth of what Li Yaoguang said.

Not to mention that this girl has the support of the Zhenwei Marquis Mansion, he knows this girl's character and trusts her very much. In addition, after seeing what has happened in Kyoto City in recent days, he is not stupid and naturally believes it all.

Since he believed it all, he knew what it meant! Because he knew it, he was so scared. Because he was scared, he was even more grateful to Li Yaoguang for taking the risk to come and tell him the news at such a young age.

"Uncle Qian, you are so polite. Now that you know about it, I am relieved. Please take care of yourself. It is getting late. I have to go somewhere else to report the news. I cannot stay long. I will leave now."

Li Yaoguang was still thinking about going somewhere else to report the news, so he couldn't delay any longer. He was about to leave, but Shopkeeper Qian hurriedly stopped him, "Sir, wait a minute."

Li Yaoguang turned back in confusion, "Uncle Qian, is there anything else?"

Shopkeeper Qian quickly whispered something to Fusheng beside him, and without looking at Fusheng who was leaving, he just stared at Li Yaoguang.

"Sir, please wait. The world is in turmoil. After this separation, we may never see each other again in this life. As we part, I, Qian Deshun, have nothing to repay you, but I have a small token of my appreciation for you. Please accept it."

"Gift?" What kind of gift? You're not going to give her money? No! "Uncle Qian, I appreciate your kindness, but I don't want the money." Now she has no shortage of money!
Shopkeeper Qian tried to persuade him, "Sir, please don't be so quick to refuse. Sir, I'm so grateful. At this critical moment, I don't have anything good to offer. But I see that troubled times are coming. If the capital is really lost, Dajing will be in chaos. In the near future, salt and grain will be more expensive than gold, and it will be hard to get. We are in the food business, so although we don't have much grain in stock, we do have a lot of salt."

After all, the special pickled goods in the building were also needed, and the daily consumption was very large, so he went privately to buy more from the salt dealers.

"There are so many things in the building that you can't take away. Rather than leaving them there and not knowing who will get them for free in the future, why don't you help share the burden, sir?"

It turns out that you want to give her salt, this stuff is good!

Buying salt in ancient times was not the same as it is today. There was not much salt in my space, and I ate half of a jar. Later, because I was going to reunite with my aunt, I bought some, but it was still not much, only 20 to 30 kilograms. It was expensive and limited.

What Manager Qian gave her now was something so good that even money couldn't buy in this troubled time. Naturally, she wouldn't refuse it, so she accepted it readily. Unexpectedly, Fusheng grunted and carried a large bag over, which surprised Li Yaoguang. After a rough estimate, she thought it probably weighed over a hundred kilograms.

Li Yaoguang did not act pretentiously. She sincerely thanked Manager Qian and said goodbye to him. She declined Fusheng's offer to send her off and asked Fusheng to help her carry the things to the corner of the street. After watching Fusheng go back, she made sure that there was no one around and quickly collected the salt. Li Yaoguang then headed to the south of the city without stopping.

She had already made a plan. She would first go to Weimeilou in the east of the city and then to Waxiang in the south. After informing her stall owner Mr. Li and others, she would go into the inner city and head west to Jishidiang to inform the old doctor. She would also buy some self-defense medicine, whether it was poison powder, drugs, laxatives or something like that. These were troubled times and she had to get something to save her life!

As she planned in her mind, her feet were running fast. She really wished she had a few more legs like a centipede. She also regretted why she didn't have a bicycle at home, otherwise she could run faster.

However, when he thought of the bicycle, Li Yaoguang, who was running at high speed, suddenly stopped.

Wait, she remembered, there was no bicycle at home, but she had a balance bike!
It seemed that a sponsor had given it to her more than a year ago, and asked her to try it and advertise it in the book, and sell it in the window, but she thought it was too expensive and didn't buy it. After trying it, she sealed it in the warehouse and forgot about it in the blink of an eye. How could she forget about this thing, what a pig brain!
Li Yaoguang turned on her toes and found a secluded place. She entered the space and rummaged around in the small storage room next to the kitchen. Sure enough, she found a brand new white and black balance bike. When she opened it, she found that it was still fully charged. The battery of this thing is really good! It's expensive for a reason.

After leaving the space, he took out the balance bike without saying anything and stepped on it. He found an old cloak from his aunt's box and covered himself with it. His feet were instantly covered, perfect.

"Go away!"

In the night with snowflakes flying, someone was riding a balance bike and hurrying along, not caring whether anyone would notice that the marks on the ground were wrong.

Anyway, the snow was so heavy that it would cover the mark in no time. Even if it didn't, she was going to run for her life, so who cared whether others cared or not, or whether they suspected that there was something wrong with the mark?
Little did she know that the snowstorm would stop before dawn, and that her tricks were not limited to just the balancing car. Li Yaoguang herself was unaware of the following series of actions, but a series of legends about her were left in and around Kyoto. The rumors were so widespread and bizarre that they were quickly turned into demons and myths. They spread so quickly that everyone in Kyoto was in a state of panic, and everyone was in danger...

When they were almost at Wa Lane, Li Yaoguang collected his balance bike from a distance and thoughtfully charged it. After leaving the space, he headed straight for Wa Lane, which was still open for business but much more deserted than before.

I came to the old place where I used to set up a stall, but I didn't meet any of the stall owners. Even the fortune-telling friend who had always been at the night market and the book friend who wrote letters for me were not there.

Not knowing where the stall owner lived, Li Yaoguang, who had originally planned to ask these two to inform others, was at a loss. He searched the entire deserted Wa Alley but couldn't find Xie Chatou, Xiao Yao and the others. Li Yaoguang secretly cursed himself for his unlucky luck.

She was anxious but didn't want to delay any longer, so she simply took out a pen and paper and wrote two notes, and stuffed them in front of the scholar and fortune teller's stall, where they had to tidy up every day when they set up their stall. Although she was still worried, she had to go. She still had to notify the kind old doctor at Jishidiang, and her food insecurity had not been treated, so she had to hurry.

It was already the hour of Hai when Li Yaoguang arrived at Jishidiang. At this time, the old doctor who was particular about health preservation and all the staff in the clinic had gone to bed. When Li Yaoguang knocked on the door like a madman, the medicine boy who was on duty in the shop in front was awakened from his deep sleep. He was dazed and asked with his neck supported.

"Who?"

There was no response from outside, but the door kept knocking.

The medicine boy cursed under his breath, and no matter how reluctantly he got up and put on his clothes. He fumbled to light the oil lamp beside the bed, and yawned as he held the lamp in his hand and walked towards the shop entrance, yelling in annoyance as he walked.

"Stop knocking, stop knocking. It's coming."

At that time, the shop fronts were built up piece by piece with boards, and the boards had to be taken down when the door opened.

Placing the oil lamp on the medicine cabinet for lighting, the pharmacist boy hurriedly took down the bolt and took down the door panel. Just as he took down one panel, he saw that the person coming outside was Li Yaoguang, an old customer who had left a deep impression on him. The pharmacist boy put away his impatience, but his tone was still full of resentment.

"Young lady, why are you here again in the middle of the night?"
