Chapter 348 Dreaming
Liu Qingcao looked at the six people with a frown, without saying anything, and without explaining, he just sat there waiting quietly.

After a long time, Liu Xiao looked up at Liu Qingcao and asked the doubts in his heart.

"Girl, where do these things come from?"

Liu Xiao has been very experienced since he was a child, and he has also experienced natural disasters and man-made disasters more than ten years ago. He knows how precious these things are, and he also understands that it is not easy to get a large amount of them.

The girl had been away from Qingzhou for three or four months, and he had no idea what had happened during her journey. But the more he knew about it, the more he admired and trusted the girl for what she had done and thought.

It has nothing to do with age, status, or gender.

Seeing his calm gaze, Liu Qingcao curled up the corners of his lips slightly, and his eyes softened, "When I left Haizhou City, these grains had already set out, and now they have arrived at the place I instructed.

I originally thought that there was a food shortage in the north during the winter, so I wanted to take this opportunity to make some money, but I didn’t expect that I would hit the jackpot.”

Liu Xiao understood that the girl had such a large amount of food and it was just an accident.

But there is really a lot of grain, and if it attracts the attention of the rich and powerful, that would be bad.

When Liu Xiao and the other six thought of this, their faces turned grim. The world has changed drastically now, and people's hearts are no longer the same. The girl has a huge fortune in her hands, and it is inevitable that she will lead people to take risks.

Liu Qingcao looked at the worried expressions of the six people and smiled knowingly. His dark eyes turned slightly, "You don't have to worry. I already have a plan to deal with this matter. It's just that you six will have to work hard for a few days."

Liu Xiao and the other six raised their eyes and looked over, and said resolutely, "Miss, just tell us what to do. We are not afraid of being tired."

"it is good."

Liu Qingcao stood up, took out two white porcelain bottles from his sleeves and placed them on the table. A gentle smile hung on his calm face, his long black eyelashes trembled slightly, and his voice was like the chirping of an oriole.

“This is a dream.”

"Into a dream?" Liu Wu stared at the porcelain vase on the table with wide eyes, a trace of fear flashed across his chubby face.

The pills and powders that came out of the girl's hands, whether they were medical or poisonous, were all of the best quality.

Liu Xiao stared at the white porcelain bottle intently, then the corners of his mouth slightly curled up.

"Enter the dream, enter the dream and weave dreams." Liu Qingcao said lightly.

Liu Xiao had seen the effects of amnesia powder and hallucinogenic powder, and he was even more curious about entering a dream.

"Girl, what is the difference between this dream-inducing powder and the amnesia powder and the hallucination powder?"

"The biggest difference is that entering a dream is controllable." Liu Qingcao said concisely.

"Controllable?" Liu Xiao murmured, his eyes lit up, and he asked excitedly, "Girl, then can it tamper with memories?"

"Yes, within half an hour, the memory of the person who took the medicine can be tampered with and remade. Good or bad pain, real or fake, can hypnotize the person into a dream, and there will be no suspicion, and no sequelae."

Liu Qingcao told the story slowly to the six people. After listening to it, the six people were frightened and anxious.

They were sure that even the most famous poison doctor in the world might not have a pill that could induce dreams.

This pill is three times more potent than poison. If officials knew about the creation of this drug, they would track down the person who made it at all costs.

Entering a dream, entering a dream, there are few people in the world who would not have thoughts about it. Although this thing is dangerous, it can also be regarded as a means of self-protection.

"Girl, is it difficult to enter a dream?" Liu Xiao hit the nail on the head again.

Liu Qingcao nodded and sighed, "The key medicinal ingredients for dreaming are too rare. Once they are used up, they will be hard to find again."

"It's so precious, what are you going to do with it now, girl?" Liu Xiao felt a little regretful, but did not question Liu Qingcao's decision.

Liu Wu, Liu Liu and others also looked over, wanting to hear what the girl would do next.

Liu Qingcao didn't keep the suspense any longer. He picked up the white porcelain bottle on the table and pulled out the cork. A light and elegant fragrance wafted out, making the six people feel dazed. Their souls were pulled by something and wanted to float out. Their bodies seemed to be wandering on the vast blue waves, floating up and down, leisurely and vague.

They could not feel themselves, but only felt the scene around them constantly changing, and there seemed to be a golden light shining above their heads...

"Wake up!" A crisp sound was like water dropping into the sea, and circular ripples entered the minds of the six people, causing them to open their eyes suddenly.

Confused, listless, and exhausted, the six people seemed to be still wandering between dreams and reality.

Seeing that the six people had dull eyes, Liu Qingcao opened her pink lips and shouted in a deep voice.

"wake up!!!"

Liu Xiao's eyes widened, and his confused mind suddenly became clear. He glanced at Liu Qingcao, then at the porcelain bottle in her hand. He lowered his eyelids in horror, and his fingertips trembled slightly.

Liu Wu and Liu Liu woke up one after another. Thinking of what had just happened, they felt a chill on their backs and beads of sweat oozed from their foreheads, soaking their hair.

The two of them looked at each other with pale faces, their bodies out of control with fear, and they took two steps back along with the other three who had woken up at the same time.

The six people witnessed the horror of entering a dream and swallowed their saliva subconsciously. They had practiced martial arts for nearly twenty years, but had never felt such fear from the bottom of their hearts as they did now.

"Girl, girl, smelling the food in a dream is so uncontrollable, what if you take it in mouth?" Liu Wu shivered and asked.

Liu Qingcao knew that they were all frightened, so he placed the porcelain bottle on the table and explained to them with a smile, "The effect of entering a dream is extremely powerful. Even for the six of you, just smelling it can make you lose consciousness. If I had any plans for you, you would be powerless to resist now."

"Entering a dream is not just a dream. It makes everything you feel in it feel real. For example, the pain is doubled."

"hiss!"

Liu Wuqing hissed and was thankful, "Girl, this is too weird. Fortunately, we are your people, otherwise, tut tut."

Liu Liu also nodded in agreement.

Liu Qingcao was noncommittal.

"There are six Rumeng Pills in these two porcelain bottles. Select six people from among the refugees who are suitable for guarding and receiving food. Then find a quiet room and feed Rumeng to them."

Liu Qingcao said, and threw out a booklet from his sleeve, "This is the dream food I made up for them. When the time comes, you can read it to them, Liu Xiao.

Remember, if anyone shows signs of trying to break free, be sure to take them out of the room."

Liu Xiao picked up the booklet and put it in his arms, and answered with a serious expression, "Liu Xiao will remember this."

"Okay, you all go and do your work, I'll go out and take a look."

After Liu Qingcao finished explaining everything, he let out a long breath and left.

This time she would return to Qingzhou City half a month earlier than when she came here, but the round trip took too long. She didn't know what the current situation in Qianfeng Town was like, and whether any tragedy like the one she encountered on the road had occurred.

I wonder if the food she left behind can keep them going for the rest of her life.

And the group of people in the eight acres of wasteland and the long wasteland in Wuzhou Prefecture, are they doing well now?
Liu Qingcao walked out of the gate of the house, and the howling wind and snow hit her face. Even with the scarf covering her face, she could still feel the force mixed in the wind and snow.

The cold and stinging wind and snow hit the exposed skin, calming Liu Qingcao's head which was about to explode.

Entering the dream was given to Liu Xiao to carry out, and she did have ulterior motives.

There are only a few people around her now, and she will have more and more secrets. If she cannot guarantee the absolute loyalty of Liu Xiao and the other six to her, then she will take the opportunity of entering their dream to test their sincerity.

Dreaming is precious, but it is not the only thing.

She used dreams to create twenty new medicines, and dreaming was just one of them.

When the refugees outside the house saw Liu Qingcao going out alone, most of them looked at him strangely. Among them, there were some unfriendly people, but their number was small, so Liu Qingcao ignored them.

She knew that Liu Xiao and the other six were hiding secretly around her, so she was not too worried about her own safety.

This house has four courtyards and was built by a wealthy family in Feichi Prefecture. Because they heard the news of the changing situation while traveling for business, the whole family left early.

Originally, this house would not have fallen into her hands, but as luck would have it, she happened to meet this family and accidentally saved their lives.

It is said that things in this world are unpredictable, with joys and sorrows!
Liu Qingcao walked around the house. After a while, two people came out from among the refugees and blocked Liu Qingcao's way.

"Where are you going, little girl?" One of the refugees looked Liu Qingcao up and down. He saw that apart from the bad complexion on her face, she was wrapped up tightly and did not look as disheveled as they were. The corners of her mouth were pulled open, revealing a row of yellow teeth, and her voice carried a hint of obscenity.

The other refugee did not say a word, but stood sideways in front of Liu Qingcao, his eyes filled with bloodthirsty ferocity.

Liu Qingcao glanced at the two of them coldly, and said with a self-deprecating laugh, "Ha, I never thought I would feed a group of ungrateful wolves."

The two refugees were stunned, then they realized that they had offended their financial sponsor. They felt guilty for a moment, then their expressions became more ferocious and they threatened in a calm voice.

"Hand over the food and we will spare your life. Otherwise, don't blame us for not leaving you a chance to live. Hurry up and don't delay my work." The refugee man walked towards Liu Qingcao greedily, raised his skinny fingers and grabbed Liu Qingcao's neck hard.

Snowflakes were falling, blocking the three people's view, and Liu Qingcao's fingers were slightly bent in her sleeves.

At this moment, a pair of even skinnier hands grabbed the wrist of the refugee who was attacking from mid-air. The refugee suddenly felt pain in his wrist bones, his face became ferocious, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

"Ah, let go, let go..." The refugee who was restrained begged for mercy in a hoarse voice. No matter how he twisted his body, he could not break free from the man's grasp.

Liu Qingcao turned his head to look at the person who came. He was tall, big-boned, and had an untidy beard. It was hard to tell his age, but his gloomy and dark eyes showed that he was extremely strong and tough.

"Get lost, you ignorant fool." The man's deep voice exploded like thunder, and then he threw the refugee away with all his strength. He glanced at the refugee who was lying on the ground and warned him, "If you do it again, I won't give you your hand."

The two refugees avoided his gaze and retreated, while Liu Qingcao stood where he was without moving an inch.

"Thank you." The man looked at the girl in front of him, uttered two words stiffly, then turned and left.

Liu Qingcao watched the man walk away, and in a moment, Liu Xiao and others suddenly appeared in front of her.

"Girl, I have asked Liu Er to teach those two guys a lesson. Are you okay?" Liu Xiao looked around at Liu Qingcao nervously, and felt relieved when he saw that she was fine.

"I'm fine. Go ask around for that guy, if he's the right one, you can count him in."

"Yes, girl." Liu Xiao had already noticed the man. Now that the girl mentioned him, it seemed that she was satisfied with him.

"Girl, let me stay with you. We are worried about you being alone outside." Liu Wu stepped forward, fearing that Liu Qingcao would not agree.

Liu Qingcao was silent for a while, then nodded in agreement. With Liu Wu accompanying them, there were few refugees causing trouble along the way, and Liu Qingcao was happy to have some free time. After wandering around for a while, he returned to his room to rest.

At night, goose-feather snow was falling. In the room, Liu Qingcao covered Liu Wu with a thin quilt, then dressed herself warmly and walked out of the window.

On the first floor, Liu Er, Liu San, Liu Si and Liu Liu, the four of them were guarding a house respectively. There was silence all around.

Liu Qingcao walked across the yard and headed straight for the back door. She had looked at the surrounding terrain during the day, so now it was much easier for her to find the location.

He ran all the way, avoiding the refugees and ran towards the farm in the south. When he reached a deserted place, Liu Qingcao released the mule in the space and continued on his way.

The mule had just come out and encountered such cold weather that it couldn't adapt for a while and fell to the ground with one foot.

When Liu Qingcao saw this, he hurriedly fed it a bowl of spiritual spring water and took out a cotton cover to cover it, which helped the mule recover quickly.

I rode a mule to the farm I bought. There was a sea of ​​white snow in front of the farm. Most of the trees and houses inside were covered with snow. There were no other houses around except this farm.

"Hot Spring Villa?"

Liu Qingcao got off the mule and stood in front of the gate wearing simple sled shoes.

There are four powerful characters written on the plaque on the gate, but the ink has faded a little, making the place look dilapidated and long-lost in the snow.

Liu Qingcao walked into the gate with difficulty, carefully observing the movements around him as he walked.

Although she bought this manor secretly, if there was anyone who knew that the owner had left, this manor would become a temporary place for others to stay. If she was not careful and someone discovered it, it would be too troublesome.

Under the heavy snow, Liu Qingcao inspected the villa before opening the door of a house with confidence.

This hot spring villa is mainly for wealthy families to visit. In addition to the hot springs, there is an orchard and a series of houses.

Now that the owner has left and there has been a snowstorm, no one has come here to visit for a long time. The bedding and furniture in the room have not been used for several months and are already covered with a thin layer of dust.

After looking at several houses in a row, Liu Qingcao walked into the best main house.

The yard where the host lives is much better than that where the guests live.

"It's so beautiful!"

Looking at the sturdy, durable and exquisite beams and buildings, Liu Qingcao sighed secretly.

Then, Liu Qingcao walked through the gate and into the warehouse of the house.

Among the ten huge warehouses, except for one room which was full of firewood, the others were empty.

Liu Qingcao took a quick look around and came back, then filled every warehouse with the food in the space.

After the nine warehouses were full, Liu Qingcao turned around and went to other houses. She did not leave any house empty that she had checked and was suitable for storing grain.

Three hours later, Liu Qingcao quietly returned to the mansion. At this time, Liu Wu was still sleeping soundly on the table.

Liu Xiao on the first floor also completed Liu Qingcao's task at this time. He closed the door, gathered Liu Er and the others together, and gave them some instructions.

"The girl is a woman with a promising future. After what happened today, this matter will be forgotten. You must not disobey the girl and do something that betrays her master."

Liu Xiao's serious face had a different kind of coldness than usual, and his eyes were as dark as ice.

Liu Er and the other three looked calm and nodded heavily without saying a word.

In a few hours, the pill had already shocked them physically and mentally, and they could not think of anything else.

Liu Xiao was silent for a moment, turned around and lay down on the chair, closing his eyes and blocking out everything around him.

Liu Er and his companions looked at each other, then jumped away in tacit understanding.

When the sky was bright, the refugees began to whisper to each other. Liu Qingcao got up and dressed neatly. Liu Wu opened his eyes when he heard the sound and looked at Liu Qingcao in a daze, with a hazy look in his eyes.

"Girl, why am I sleeping so deeply?" Liu Wu rubbed his eyes, puzzled.

Liu Qingcao smiled, pointed to the burnt incense stick in front of the window, and said calmly, "I felt uneasy when I slept last night, so I lit a stick of calming incense. How about it, did you sleep well last night?"

Liu Wu nodded gently, then shook his head, his wet eyes full of annoyance, "Girl, I sleep like this, what if a bad guy comes in and hurts you?

No, if this calming incense is lit again, I have to go outside to guard it."

Liu Qingcao sighed secretly, laughed and shook his head, "Nothing, I don't usually use calming incense to fall asleep. Let's go, it's time to have breakfast, let's go see what to eat this morning."

Having said that, Liu Qingcao walked out. Liu Wu exclaimed and hurriedly followed.

When she reached the lobby, Liu Qingcao saw from afar Liu Xiao and a group of people walking towards her.

Liu Xiao was walking in front, his pace was neither fast nor slow. A closer look at the six people following behind him revealed that they were walking with great effort, as if their legs and feet weighed a thousand pounds, and every step they took was heavy and squat.

"girl."

Liu Xiao clasped his fists in greeting. The six people behind him were stunned for a moment and raised their hands with a little awkwardness.

"girl."

Liu Qingcao glanced at the six people one by one, quickly retracted his gaze, and said to Liu Xiao, "Have breakfast first."

Liu Xiao nodded, turned around and waved to one of the people behind him, "Yucheng, take the five of them to the other table to eat first. After dinner, the girl will tell you to do something."

The man named Yucheng responded. Liu Qingcao looked and saw that it was the man who helped drive away the refugees yesterday.

This man looks honest and kind, and doesn't like to talk, but he has a good name.

Just as the people in the lobby sat down for a while, Liu Er and Liu Si walked in, each carrying a large basin.

Just as the two men put the big basin away, two more people walked in from outside the door.

Liu Qingcao looked up and saw Liu San and Liu Liu. They were holding a pile of bowls and chopsticks in their hands and their steps were quick and light.

"Girl, there is still a lot of rice, flour, grain and oil left in the warehouse. If we leave, I'm afraid we won't be able to keep these things."

"Yes, I went to the warehouse this morning to take inventory. It was full of hundreds of thousands of kilograms of rice, flour, grain and oil. Miss, how about having someone notify General Yang to come and pick it up?"

Liu Er and Liu Si served the meal and began to express their worries.

Liu Qingcao didn't answer. Instead, he looked up at Liu Xiao and asked him what he thought.

Liu Xiao thought for a while and tentatively said, "Miss, the food here can be used to keep the refugees. Although the food General Yang needs is some distance away, it is not too urgent."

"What do you mean?" Liu Qingcao nodded and continued to ask.

Liu Xiao glanced at the six people at the next table and lowered his voice, "Miss, if the people in Beiwu City knew that there was food in this mansion, not only the refugees, but also General Yang would be dissatisfied with our actions.

Now they are in a dilemma, and they should remember the friendship of helping us in our time of need. If they know that we have food but don't send it out once this difficult time is over, they will think that we are bullying them. We have not been away from the city for long, so this matter should not be made public for the time being."

"But brother, there are many refugees here, and the news that we have food will sooner or later reach General Yang." Liu Wu frowned and added worriedly.

Liu Xiao nodded and continued, "So, we have to find someone to spread the news ourselves. As for what is spread, that's up to us."

"Is this possible?" Liu Wu blinked, a little confused.

Liu Qingcao went over Liu Xiao's words in his mind and agreed with his idea.

However, this matter needs to be carefully considered before any action can be taken.

As for the group of refugees around the mansion, Liu Qingcao also has her own ideas.

After the meal, Liu Qingcao kept the six people from Yucheng and asked them questions one by one. The six people answered naturally without any mistakes.

During this time, Liu Qingcao saw the confusion and bewilderment in the eyes of the six people. She did not explain or ask any questions, but just threw out questions one by one, slowly dispelling the sense of unfamiliarity in their hearts.

Half an hour later, Liu Qingcao stopped when he saw that the six people's eyes had become firm.

All six of them are male, the oldest is 29 and the youngest is 17. Judging from the message Liu Xiao left for them, they are all single. Besides being convenient, these people can be used without any worries.

Yucheng, Wangcha and Wuhui were all literate, so Liu Qingcao assigned them to oversee and record the entry and exit of various items.

Luo Zhu, Yan Yong, and Li Shi, the three of them know some martial arts, so Liu Qingcao arranged them to be guards.

After arranging the six people, Liu Qingcao heard the sound of Liu Xiao knocking on the door outside.

Liu Qingcao asked the six people to leave and wanted to hear why Liu Xiao was in such a hurry.

"what happened?"

"Girl, there are people among the refugees who are fanning the flames and leading the riot. They have gathered fifty or sixty people and are blocking the gate, clamoring to come in and get food." Liu Xiao's face was as dark as ink, and his tone was filled with anger.

How could he not have expected that these people were so cruel? Not only did they want to eat their fill, they also wanted them to hand over the food in the house.

This group of people are really greedy and will never give up.

After hearing what Liu Xiao said, Liu Qingcao looked very calm.

She had been prepared for the possibility of trouble caused by refugees. After all, there were not many kind villagers like those in Shihe Village.

The snow outside the house was flying everywhere, and the noise of the refugees reached my ears. The sound became louder and closer, adding a bit of liveliness to this quiet house.

“Liu Xiao, have Liu Er take six people from Yucheng to guard the gate. If anyone breaks in, break their legs.

Half an hour later, you take your men to Beiwu and pass the news here to General Yang."

"Yes, girl."

Liu Xiao clasped his fists and left. Liu Qingcao tapped the table lightly, waiting for the plan to begin step by step.
