The host is also full of European energy today

Chapter 38 The Beggar (3)
I looked at the time on the watch (this watch is tied to the soul and cannot be seen in reality).

It's four o'clock in the afternoon and the sun is about to set.

The sun wasn't warm, but it was daytime anyway, bright, and you couldn't see anything when you went down the mountain.

There was still about 500 meters away from the entrance of the village. This person probably wanted to go in, but he couldn't hold on and fainted here.

She dragged people to the entrance of the village. At this time, someone was already cooking dinner, and bursts of scent rushed into her nostrils.

The hand that supported Zong Xun couldn't help but put it in front of his nose to drive the scent into his nose, what he made was too fragrant!

No one in the village came out for activities, except for the smoke from the chimneys, there was no way to tell that there were people living here.

Put Zong Xun under a big tree not far from the first family's house. There is a half-collapsed thatched hut there, which was probably built by the old people in the village playing chess there.

Chi Ningzai checked the surroundings carefully. It shouldn't collapse after she left for a while...

After picking up his hair and making sure it was still dirty, he adjusted his expression and tremblingly walked towards the village chief's house in his memory.

After walking for a while, I arrived at a relatively open place. A courtyard dam outside the village head's house had been cleared, and now the ground was only covered with foot-thick snow, probably because it had just been laid this morning and had not been cleaned in time.

Chi Ning raised the speed on his feet, walked to the main room of the village chief's house, raised his hand and knocked on the door.

"Who is it?" There was a loud voice, followed by a rush of noise.

Cursing and walking to the door, the man slammed the door open, and a gust of cold air rushed into the room that had finally been warmed up, and there were several curses from inside: "You bastard! Can you open the door properly? Who is it? Close the door quickly."

Chi Ning was invited in, and there was a large brazier in the back room, the fire was burning fiercely, and the whole room was illuminated colorfully by the fire.

There was a circle of people around the brazier, including three or four middle-aged women, two or three young men, then the village chief and his wife, and the middle-aged man who had just opened the door for him.

The cursing just now was the village chief's wife. She frowned and looked at Chi Ning who walked in. She was dressed in black clothes that could not tell the original color.

"Isn't this the little beggar in the ruined temple on the mountain? Why did you come here?"

The village chief glared at her, and then with a kind smile on his face, he asked curiously: "Are you a child who lives on the mountain? How did you come down the mountain? How did you come down with such thick snow?"

Chi Ning was trembling slightly. The village head looked at her thin clothes, frowned and said to the woman who was sitting opposite and was embroidering, "Go and get two or three clothes that Niuniu couldn't wear last year."

The old woman next to her stared and was about to say something, but another woman next to her pulled her arm and whispered in her ear: "Mom, stop talking, dad will get angry again later!"

The old woman gave Chi Ning a hard look, then turned to talk to her daughter in a low voice.

The embroidered woman glanced at the opposite side, put the things in her hand into the basket, stood up and said, "Hey! Dad, do you want to take the pair of shoes that Niu Niu said she wouldn't wear last time?"

Only then did the village head take a look at Chi Ning's feet. It was just a thin piece of cloth with a hard sole, and a hole was broken, revealing the toes hidden in the black mud.

Another wrinkle on his face: "Go, go, get it quickly, this poor little guy."

Chi Ning looked at him silently. It seemed that these two were the only ones in this family who were easy to talk to. The others were all indifferent with disgust, contempt and disdain.

"Grandpa Village Chief, I woke up this morning and saw that the snow on the mountain had been dug up. I thought it was done by people from your village." There are no wild vegetables and fruits, and there is really nothing to eat, so I ran down the mountain."

The village chief looked at her with sympathy: "I didn't hear that someone went out these two days! Why are there still people digging the road? Usually, few people on the mountain are willing to go up! Now that the mountain is closed by heavy snow, they still go up to dig the road. ? How strange!"

"Then you have come down the mountain and you want to go back to the mountain? It's almost dark, let's do this. There is an abandoned house in the west of the village. Zhang Orion's family originally lived there, but his family moved to the town and the house was taken back. I haven’t returned to the clan yet.”

"You live there for the time being, and wait until the snow melts and the weather warms up." The village chief reached out and took out a steamed bun from the table next to him. He tested it by the fire and got a crust on the outside, and handed it to Chi Ning.

"You eat first."

Chi Ning was moved, and stretched out his hands to hold the bun as if he were treating a treasure.

After a while, the woman who had just left came in, carrying a small bundle in her hand.

After bringing the things to her, she smiled slightly, and said in a gentle voice: "This is my daughter Niuniu's clothes. She is four or five years older than you. They are clothes she can't wear. You can wear them."

"Thank you, auntie, thank you, grandpa, the village head." Chi Ning blinked and looked at the two gratefully.

Then he sent her out after informing her of the location of the house. No one wanted a beggar to stay in their house for a long time. At this time, even a needle in the house is a treasure, so they dare not lose anything.

When Chi Ning went out, he stuffed the steamed buns into another patched bag, which contained a few steamed buns and a few tofu cakes. It was given by the gentle woman before he left. She was the eldest daughter-in-law of the village chief. It's called Xu Lihua.

Chi Ning thanked her before leaving, the village chief and her just smiled and told her to go back to the house quickly.

Walking quickly to the thatched shed at the entrance of the village, Chi Ning was relieved to see that person in place intact. If he was lost, he would not know when he would find it again.

He helped him up and dragged him to the dilapidated house that the village head mentioned.

This house, how should I put it.

Call it broken, but it has been painted clean and covered with off-white mud, just like an adobe house in modern times.

Let’s say it’s not broken. There’s not even a window or door. There’s only a tattered bamboo bed, wooden table, and two wooden chairs in the room. Even the kitchen is natural. The earthen stove is in the yard. The bamboo shed is still strong, and it hasn't collapsed under such a heavy snow.

"Clap-clack-"

Just when Chi Ning was sighing at its strength, the bamboo shed finally couldn't bear the weight and collapsed.

The corner of his mouth twitched, is this called koi possession?
A gust of cold wind blew by, and Chi Ning shook his body.

Oops, special effects time is over!
Chi Ning wailed, and then helped Zong Xun, who was in a puddle of mud, into the "new home" with no windows or doors.

"Ah!!" Chi Ning yelled with his hands on his hips.

"Host? What are you doing?" System 748 bubbling secretly.

"The house is empty, how can I survive?" Chi Ning sat on the bench with a decadent expression on his face.

"Why do other people have everything they want at the beginning of the game, but me? I'm either dumb or bankrupt, and now I'm reduced to a beggar?"

"God is going to kill me!"

"Host, don't be discouraged!" System 748 comforted, perhaps sensing her depression, quietly began to encode a piece of data, which turned into starlight like dust particles and scattered on her body.

Suddenly feeling relaxed all over, Chi Ning stood up in shock.
