I was a god in the 18th century

Chapter 71 Add potatoes!

Faced with Andrew's curse, Owen made no comment. He didn't do anything about the little girl who froze to death.

Xia Qingdai made a last attempt. She pressed her fingers on the little girl's pulse, and the power of faith that was constantly running in her body was output from her fingertips to the little girl's body.

After just a few inches, the child's meridians in front of him had completely lost their vitality, and even the blood began to coagulate. There was really no way to save the day.

Forcing the power of faith into her body made Xia Qingdai's own head hurt.

She reluctantly withdrew the power of faith, looked at the little girl and sighed.

Looking up at the snow again, the romantic atmosphere is gone.

The little girl won't be the only one freezing to death on this snowy night. There must be many people in trouble in the dark corners that she couldn't see.

At the end of the 18th century during the Little Ice Age, no corner of the world was considered a paradise, and the people living at the bottom were equally pitiful in any country.

Xia Qingdai stood up and exchanged a look with Owen. The latter understood and said, "Tomorrow I will ask the housekeeper to deliver some potatoes and frozen fish to the poorhouse."

"Yes." Xia Qingdai nodded, holding Owen's arm and getting into the carriage.

Owen told the coachman Andrew to go to the church to notify someone to collect the body. He got into the coachman's seat and drove the carriage away.

Andrew muttered something reluctant.

In such a cold winter, it was unreasonable for him to be kicked out of the carriage and suffer from the cold and fatigue because of such a little thing that had nothing to do with him.

After going to the church, he still had to walk 1.5 miles back to the castle. On a snowy and windy night, it would cost him his life!

After Xia Qingdai got back on the carriage, she was no longer in the mood to enjoy the snow.

It is very difficult for a girl living in modern times to suddenly see a child freezing to death on the street.

This uncomfortable feeling has been stuck in my chest, even worse than the last time I saw the villain being crushed to death by a collapsed house.

After all, the last time she saw the Crushed Man, she was looking down from a high position, and the villain was no bigger than an ant in her eyes.

But now it is a tragedy seen from the perspective of a villain, and it is still a young and ignorant child, which is even more shocking.

"Alas!" Xia Qingdai couldn't help but sigh again, feeling very sad when she thought of the little girl's pitiful appearance.

Owen heard the sigh and looked up at Xia Qingdai with a thoughtful expression.

He had been on the battlefield and had seen a lot of life and death. When he saw the little girl freezing to death, his heart was not much shaken.

During the snowstorm season, people are freezing to death every day. It’s not surprising.

At the ball today, he also heard gentlemen from London and Bonn mention that the city was cleaning up homeless people.

The noble gentlemen and ladies who are kind-hearted and soft-hearted are the worst people who can see the suffering of the world. Therefore, in the area where the nobles are located, there are basically few poor people, let alone the poor people living on the streets.

Owen's uncle's family works hard every day to make money to stay in the city. The food and clothing can be poorer, but the rent cannot be saved.

The cousin who had previously said that he would not come to Fucui Villa until March in spring, wrote a letter two days ago saying that he wanted to come in February.

Owen naturally sent them a letter of welcome.

The castle is so big and has so many rooms, it can accommodate several relatives.

Back at the villa, Xia Qingdai and Owen said good night to each other and then entered their rooms. After closing the door, I walked to the cloakroom to change out of my evening clothes, and my mind returned to modern times.

It was only afternoon time in modern times. She ran to the kitchen and dug out a bag of potatoes in the cupboard. There were four left in total.

Southerners never like to buy too much when it comes to groceries, so they don’t have much inventory at home, but it’s enough for a little person. Xia Qingdai picked up the bag and walked back to the room, then placed the potatoes one by one in the yard, making the little people below excited.

The first heavy snowfall in February had just fallen, and potatoes were a gift from heaven. The feng shui of their Fucui Villa was so good!

Owen stood in front of the window, looking up at the hazy face in the clouds, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

The goddess is really soft-hearted!

After delivering the potatoes, Xia Qingdai clapped her hands and went to the balcony study to study questions. Compared to the homeless people, the slight coldness in the study is really nothing.

After the villain in the castle rolled the potatoes onto the trailer and dragged them into the cellar, he quickly entered a non-still scene.

In the evening, Xia Qingdai received a call from Xu Yan.

The other party invited her to have a dinner at her house in the evening, saying that her parents had gone to the countryside to visit relatives for a banquet, and there happened to be no elders at home.

Since the spring exam, everyone has not interacted with each other. Xu Yan said that the students in their study group should get together, and she had prepared hot pot ingredients.

Xia Qingdai thought about it for a while and agreed. The Chinese New Year is coming soon, so it doesn't hurt to get together with classmates.

Seeing that it was already half past four, Xia Qingdai called Xia Shanglu and asked him if he would be back for dinner.

"I won't be back, I have to work overtime."

"Oh. Then I won't cook."

"You don't want to eat it yourself?"

Xia Qingdai then said: "I will go to my classmate's house to eat hot pot in the evening."

"Which classmate is this? What time does it end and I will pick you up?" Although my sister is an adult, she has not yet gone out into society, so she still has to ask roundly when going out at night.

Xia Qingdai had nothing to hide, so she directly replied: "Xu Yan, you should know her too."

"Oh, it's Xu Balding's daughter. Okay, go ahead, I'll pick you up when I can."

"Yeah." Xia Qingdai did not comment on her brother's behavior of calling the other party's father by his nickname. After hanging up the phone, she changed her clothes and went out carrying a bag of apples.

She hasn't been out since her body evolved. Walking on the road, I just feel that the world is very different. The good ones are better and the bad ones are worse.

When cats and dogs met Xia Qingdai, they still took a detour, as if she were some ferocious humanoid beast.

Xu Yan's new home is in Jiangcheng New District. It's half an hour's ride from the bus stop near Xia Qingdai's home. It's not too far.

Xu Yan originally lived in an old building nearby, and the kindergarten was the same as Xia Qingdai's.

Later, her father made some money from his business and moved out of the old building. Naturally, the elementary school moved to a better place.

In fact, the main reason for the Xu family's prosperity is that they bought three houses at the right time and relied on the wealth accumulated by the soaring housing prices, not because of doing business.

After that, her father had the unique vision to sell two old houses in average locations and replaced them with his current new house in the upper city.

As a result, the year after I bought my new house, housing prices in the upper city doubled again. No matter what kind of work I did, I couldn't keep up with the soaring housing prices.

Even though housing prices have fallen in the past two years, the second-hand housing prices in their neighborhood are still nearly 80,000, which is barely close to luxury homes in Jiangcheng.

Xia Qingdai arrived at the gate of Xu Yan's community and was about to call Xu Yan when she met Yan Shixian with a basketball under his arm.
