The host is also full of European energy today

Chapter 40 The Beggar (5)
Zong Xun had already finished this unforgettable meal, and the hot water was already boiling. Chi Ning poured it into a bowl and let it cool down for a while. Later, he could drink the warm water before going to bed. We will talk about it tomorrow if we have anything to do.

The two of them didn't sleep on the bamboo bed all night, but slept on the table next to the fire all night.

Early the next morning, the sky was slightly bright.

Looking at the time on the watch, it is [-]:[-] in the morning, and she usually sleeps until the sun rises at home.

Since she started the journey of time and space, she has rarely slept in. At this time, she can make a wish, that is, the next world will have time to sleep in!
Zong Xun also woke up a long time ago. Firstly, his posture was wrong and uncomfortable, and then he was too cold to sleep.

Chi Ning looked at him and asked, "Where is your home?"

"My home...is far away."

When Chi Ning thought of this, she had to upgrade and buy a map quickly, otherwise she would be blinded when she came to the new world.

"That's it, okay." Chi Ning clapped his hands with a sad look on his face: "Do you have any money on you? You know that I have no money when you see me like this, right? You must stay with me for the time being, but you also see This house is completely bare, and it was lent to us by the village chief’s grandfather yesterday.”

"Well, you borrowed it yesterday? Then where did you live before?" Zong Xun asked suspiciously.

Chi Ning choked, what kind of honey are you concerned about?

"I've been living in a ruined temple on the mountain, you can tell I'm a beggar by looking at me like this!"

"I was being rude." Zong Xun scratched his head with an awkward expression on his face.

It's not that he dislikes it, but that he only saw this clean face clearly.

When Chi Ning woke up, he had already wiped his face with warm water. His fair and tender face formed a natural contrast with other parts of his body.

It was already dawn, Chi Ning opened the two shutters of the window, and the room became brighter.

Zong Xun took out a piece of silver from the purse hidden in his waist and put it on the table.Chi Ning was stunned for a while, you just took out a piece from such a big purse? !

His face was flushed, and he said in his mouth: "I don't usually carry a shadow, it's always... the servants carry it, and I just stuffed this one casually."

The unfinished words must be the father-in-law!

"Okay, it should be enough." Chi Ning weighed it up, and then reached out to ask for his purse: "Lend me the purse, and return it to you when you come back."

Zong Xun handed her the purse and watched her leave.

Shaking his head, showing a faint smile, he is really a little grown-up.

Chi Ning came to yesterday's position, today seems to be warmer than yesterday, many people in the village began to clear the snow in front of the door.

Snowdrifts like small hills were piled up on both sides, and children helped it roll out its body and head around the snowdrifts.

Looking at the rows of snowmen, Chi Ning's body trembled uncontrollably. A suspense novel she once read contained such a terrifying case of a snowman with limbs. When she saw this snowman, memories rushed to her brain.

Quickly shake off the thoughts in my mind, and quickly run to the kind person's house in my memory, there is no shortage of food and drink.

The yard was originally fenced off, but now it's hidden from view by the snow.

In the yard, a middle-aged man was using a shovel to shovel snow to the sides, leaving a trail for people to enter and exit.

Chi Ning stood outside the yard and shouted at him, "Uncle Yao!"

"Ah? Xiaoqi?" The man who was to be Uncle Yao looked around, only to see a small person standing not far away, standing in the snow in black and white, forming a sharp contrast with the white.

"It's me! Uncle Yao, can I go there?" Chi Ning waved his hand and asked loudly.

"Yes! Come in! Go slowly and don't fall!" Uncle Yao put the brooms together and waited for her to pass.

There is a lot of firewood piled up on the side of the yard, which was originally used by Uncle Yao to make furniture, but now it is buried in the ground by snow, and I don't know if it can still be used.

Step by step, he walked carefully into the yard.

"Xiaoqi, why did you go down the mountain? How did you come down?" Uncle Yao looked puzzled.

Sure enough, she asked one when she saw one, and she repeated exactly what she had said to the village chief.

"Oh, so that's the case, then why are you looking for me? Is there nothing to eat? Wait for me to get it for you. It just so happens that your aunt made some roasted sweet potatoes. Wait!" Quickly go to the kitchen at home.

"Hey..." Looking at the disappearing figure, Chi Ning couldn't help feeling amused.

Speaking of Xiaoqi, he probably called her by the name of little beggar. He didn't want to embarrass her, and it was quite touching.

After a while, Uncle Yao came out from the kitchen, and there was a woman holding a cloth bag beside him, she must be the aunt that Uncle Yao was talking about.

Uncle Yao walked over quickly, and said enthusiastically, "Xiaoqi, come and take it."

Without stopping, he took the cloth bag from the woman next to him and put it on Chi Ning's dirty hand.

Chi Ning took it silently. Originally, there were surprisingly few supplies under the cold wave. Uncle Yao's family was willing to take out two baked sweet potatoes. She tried the weight on her hand, and the weight was not small.

Chi Ning didn't refuse his kindness, and immediately said, "Uncle Yao, do you still have wood that can be used to make furniture?"

"Why do you want wood? I still have a pile of wood in my warehouse. Do you want to borrow some firewood to burn? My house has a lot, so you can get some." Uncle Yao suddenly realized, and planned to turn around and go to the warehouse to bring some wood out.

"Hey, wait, Uncle Yao." Chi Ning quickly grabbed him: "No, no, Uncle Yao, I want to ask you to pack some cabinet decorations. Yesterday, the village chief grandpa lent me the empty house on the west side, but the house There is nothing in it, I just want to ask you to open a few cabinets or something."

"Oh! That's it! I have a few cabinets that were returned by others. They were originally used for new houses, but that family found another house in the town, and all the good things I had were returned to me. , if you don't dislike it, I will move there for you."

As soon as he finished speaking, the woman next to him tugged at his sleeve. He looked embarrassed, his dark face glowed suspiciously, then he squatted down and looked at her kindly: "Xiao Qi , Uncle Yao and Auntie want to discuss something with you."

"What's the matter?" Chi Ning asked doubtfully, frowning.

"Didn't your aunt and I have no children for several years? The old lady at home also went there last year, and the house was deserted. We want to invite you to come to our house to be our child. You see..."

Chi Ning blinked, a little unbelievable.

In such a bad situation, they still want to adopt a little beggar?

She frowned and refused.

"No need, Uncle Yao, thank you Uncle Yao and Auntie for their love, but Xiao Qi now has her own small family, and Xiao Qi has been wandering since he can remember, so it is inevitable that he has some bad habits, and I don't want Uncle Yao and Auntie to bother Thank you Uncle Yao, thank you Auntie, really..."

Aunt Yao quickly said, "It's okay, it's okay, Auntie is just asking you, if you don't like it, we can't force it."

Uncle Yao and Aunt Yao looked regretful, but they thought this child was pretty good and smart.

But this child is very angry and has big ideas, and he definitely doesn't want to live with them.

"Uncle Yao, how much is the case you're talking about?" Although she won't stay here for a long time, the snow won't melt for a while. At least the furniture will allow her to live comfortably during this time, right?

Uncle Yao quickly waved his hand and stroked her greasy head: "It's not worth a lot of money. This is because they have withdrawn, and it is not easy to sell it. If you don't take it, you will dismantle it and use it as firewood. Uncle will give it to you later." You move there, you eat the sweet potatoes at Uncle's first, it will warm your body."
