Traveling through ancient times to survive

Zhao Qing had no choice but to store the food into the space and send his excited cousin off. Zhao Qing also took the opportunity to count the supplies in the space.

Charcoal was smuggled out a little bit every day. About 1/5 of the charcoal in the space was used up. As for food, most of the spiritual food bought from the mall was eaten. The food bought from outside was not touched, and the rest of the supplies were not used.

There were only over 600 points left in the mall. Li Wu had given out ten gold bars last time, one to each person, leaving six bars left, each weighing about one pound. Zhao Qing recharged all of them and exchanged them for some points.

He bought the key points of knife skills, and used the rest to buy 50 kilograms of spiritual meat, 10 kilograms of spiritual fruit, and 5 kilograms of spiritual rice. He used the remaining points to buy a few spiritual fruits and stuffed them into his mouth, thus spending all the points.

Zhao Qing applied the technique to his head and felt a slight swelling and pain in his head. He rubbed his temples to relieve the discomfort.

Zhao Qing used a stick instead of a knife and practiced basic moves such as chopping, slashing and stabbing one by one. He then combined the moves, and his movements went from being rigid and stiff to being free and easy. After a while, Zhao Qing mastered the skills and easily became a master of knife wielding martial arts.

At this time, Mrs. Zhao was throwing things around in the old house again: "Er Ya! Where have you been? There are so many things to do at home, and no girl is as lazy as you!"

Zhao Lan lowered her head with an impatient look on her face: "I went to my second uncle's house."

"All you do every day is eat and sleep, sleep and play. You are not allowed to go anywhere tomorrow!"

"No! I'm going to go find my cousin." Zhao Lan stiffened her neck and objected loudly.

Mrs. Zhao was getting furious and reached out to hit someone. Zhao Lan saw that the situation was not good and dodged to the side. Mrs. Zhao's hands were empty and she became even angrier.

"How dare you hide like that little bitch! This is outrageous!"

Mrs. Zhao wanted to hit and Zhao Lan wanted to hide, and the two of them circled around the room. After all, she was old, so Mrs. Zhao held her waist and panted heavily, but she didn't even touch the corner of her little daughter's clothes.

Mrs. Zhao called on her teammates for help: "His father! Stop Erya. Today, I must let this damn girl know how many eyes the Horse King has!"

"You have no moral principles! Why are you involving others in our matter?" Zhao Lan was furious.

Zhao Chengshan turned his eyes away in disgust. It was so embarrassing that they couldn’t even catch a thirteen-year-old kid, and yet they still needed help!

"Stop, you little bitch! Stop running!"

"Mom, I'm not stupid!" Zhao Lan was so angry that she turned back to provoke him deliberately, and then ran out of the house.

Mrs. Zhao held the door and yelled, "You damned girl! If you have the guts, don't come back!"

Zhao Lan strolled to her sister's house, hesitant and not daring to go forward, and met Aunt Hu who was just returning home from a visit.

"Lan Ya, are you here to see your sister? Come on, go in with Auntie."

Aunt Hu took Zhao Lan's hand and invited her warmly. As soon as they entered the house, Aunt Hu's loud voice pierced the house.

"Second daughter-in-law, your sister is here to see you!"

Zhao Hong, who was being intimate with her husband in the new house, quickly pushed Hu Erge away, reached out to straighten her wrinkled clothes, straightened her expression, and made sure there was nothing wrong with her body before opening the door.

"Mom, you're back, little sister, come here quickly." Zhao Hong's gentle voice sounded.

"Okay, you two sisters, just have a good chat. Mom won't disturb you anymore." As she said that, Aunt Hu pulled Second Brother Hu away, giving the two sisters enough space to get close to each other.

"Little sister, is your family giving you trouble again?" Zhao Hong asked with concern.

"It's nothing serious. My mother didn't allow me to go out and wanted to beat me, so I ran away." Zhao Hong frowned. Zhao Lan didn't want her sister to worry about her, so she deliberately changed the subject, her voice excited.

"Sister, I went to learn martial arts from my cousin today. It won't be long, sister. Just wait and see me become a martial arts master. By then, they won't be able to beat me."

After visiting her sister, Zhao Lan was ready to leave, but Aunt Hu disagreed: "The meal is almost ready, stay with your sister until you finish the meal before leaving."

"No, Auntie, every household is poor now, how can I eat here?"

Zhao Lan stood up to leave, but Aunt Hu grabbed her arm and said, "I'm not being polite to you. I've already put away all your rice, so I don't mind your bit."

Zhao Lan looked at her sister for help. Zhao Hong saw that her mother-in-law was really going to treat her younger sister to a meal, so she nodded to her younger sister.

Zhao Lan had a meal at her sister's house, and after the meal she chatted with her sister for a long time.

It was getting dark. Seeing the harmonious and warm family atmosphere at her sister's in-laws' house, Zhao Lan walked home lightly, knowing that her sister would have a good life in the future.

The good mood lasted only until she saw the tightly closed door of her home. Zhao Lan frowned and pushed the door hard: "Dad, Mom, open the door!"

The door in front of her didn't move at all, and there was no movement in the house. Zhao Lan kicked the door angrily and turned away.

In the room, Zhao Sansao whispered, "Sister-in-law, Lan Ya is back, are you really going to lock her out?"

"Humph, this damn girl is so bold that she even dares to talk back to me. If I don't teach her a lesson today, she will never know her place!"

Mrs. Zhao just wanted to teach her little daughter a lesson. She had to lock her daughter outside and let her reflect on her actions, so that she would never dare to disobey her again. She would let her in when she calmed down. She didn't care whether her daughter was safe or not.

After all, she was not her own daughter, so Mrs. Zhao San stopped trying to persuade her. And as her biological father, Zhao Chengshan didn't care whether his wife was torturing her daughter. Anyway, her daughter had always been taught by her biological mother, so he didn't interfere.

As for the grandparents, a girl is not worth their worry. The mother can teach her however she wants, as long as it does not interfere with her eldest grandson.

Mrs. Zhao thought that her daughter was reflecting on herself outside the door, deeply regretting her disobedient behavior during the day. In fact, Zhao Lan had already arrived at Zhao Qing's door.

Zhao Qing welcomed people in, and Zhao Lan pitifully expressed her wish to stay overnight.

"Uncle, aunt, my parents locked me out and wouldn't let me in. Can I sleep here tonight?"

"What? Your parents locked you out?"

Wang Mei widened her eyes in surprise. It was so cold, she would be frozen to death at night. These were her own children, and how could her elder brother and sister-in-law be so cruel.

"It's outrageous! It's really outrageous!"

Zhao Chengchuan couldn't believe that his elder brother and his wife would shut their daughter out on such a snowy night.

"Uh, Lan Ya, what did you do to make your parents so angry?" Zhao Deyan was very curious.

"I didn't do anything. My mother didn't let me go out. I didn't agree. She wanted to beat me, so I hid out. When I came back, the door was closed and she wouldn't open it no matter how much I called."

Zhao Lan had an innocent expression. She had never expected that her original parents would ignore their daughter's life or death over such a small matter.

"Don't be afraid, Lan girl. You can rest at Second Uncle's house today and sleep with your cousin."

"Yes, second cousin, you sleep with my sister." Zhao Dezhang hurried to comfort her.

Zhao Lan's eyes lit up and she looked at Zhao Qing eagerly. Zhao Qing nodded silently and Zhao Lan thanked him loudly.

"Thank you, second uncle, second aunt, and cousin for taking me in. I will never forget it in the future."

"That doesn't have to be the case."

Zhao Chengchuan and Wang Mei didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This kid was too exaggerated.
