Conquer the game world with food
Chapter 36 Riot
Litang Village.
The farmland where Shennong Valley was planted began to fail to grow anything. At first, everyone thought it was a problem with the land, because not every mu of farmland could not grow food.
The farmers thought that their farmland might be too barren, so they couldn't continue planting this kind of fairy valley that ripens once a day.
Although I feel helpless, I have harvested a lot of rice before, and I can eat it for several years. Now I can't continue to plant the fairy grain, so let's replant the original rice!
With the food accumulated during this period, the days to come will be much better than before anyway.
But when they tried to plant the original rice seeds, they found that the seedlings in this field would die in half a day.
Then they discovered that these fields couldn't even grow weeds, as if the fields were cursed.
Immediately afterwards, the number of farmlands that could not grow anything increased. At first, it was only the rice fields of ordinary farmers that had problems. Then, within ten days or so, even Wang Yuanwai's superior farmlands were unable to grow anything. .
What's even more frightening is that this weird curse spread faster than everyone imagined. In just over half a month, almost all the farmland planted with Shennong Valley had problems.
In fact, as early as a month ago, the phenomenon that other things could not be planted in the fields where Shennong Valley was planted began to appear. However, at that time, only a few fields had such problems, so it did not attract much attention.
Everyone is blinded by the joy of the daily bumper harvest and confused, so how can they pay attention to these small problems.
Some narrow-minded people even secretly gloat that those who don't grow anything in the field are not blessed.
I never thought that this storm would involve everyone so quickly.
What everyone didn't expect was that when they wanted to grind the rice into rice, they suddenly found that the husk of the rice was extremely hard, and they couldn't get rid of the husk no matter how they were rolled.
In other words, these rice grains are not edible at all!
The land can no longer grow food, and now even the harvested rice has become waste, and the hearts of the farmers began to collapse.
It wasn't just these peasant households that collapsed, but all the gentry and landowners, big and small, in the nearby towns and villages were also driven into despair because of this incident.
In the past, the rich clothes and fine food, but now they are all in vain. It really fell from heaven to hell. If you don't go crazy on the spot, you are considered to have a good psychological quality.
----
Wang Yuanwai's family.
At this time, the gate of the Wang family was closed, and dozens of gentry and landowners, large and small, gathered outside, and they all came to ask for an explanation.
Now they have long forgotten their greed not long ago, and pushed everything to Wang Yuanwai.
"Wang Decheng, come out! If it weren't for you bewitching us to plant this rice back then, how could our land have become what it is today? It's a good farmland! Now half a grain of grain can't be grown! And those damned The rice is all inedible, Wang Decheng, come out!" Zhong Shengqi slammed on the gate of Wang's house frantically and roared.
"Wang Decheng, you bastard bastard, you caused us to become what we are now, come out quickly! We must discuss an explanation with you today!"
"Wang Decheng, you bloody bastard! Come out quickly! Because of you, our land is useless! How will this account be settled?!"
……
These country gentry and landowners no longer had the calm and calm posture they used to have. They all looked like the rascals, crazy in every word and deed.
At this time, Wang Yuanwai was constantly pacing back and forth in the hall, cursing those people outside.
"These bastards, I didn't let them plant the rice back then. They came to steal the rice seeds first. I couldn't help but summon them to discuss. Now it seems that without me, they won't plant Those bastards were kicked out of their brains by donkeys like grain seeds. My fucking own fields were also ruined! Who am I looking for?!"
When Wang Yuanwai thought about this, he suddenly felt that something was wrong with his internal organs. How could he have been obsessed with ghosts in the first place?
What the hell gods are using these harmful grain seeds to harm us!Wang Yuanwai cursed inwardly.
At this moment, there was a sudden shout of killing outside.
Wang Yuanwai was startled, could this group of people really be crazy? !
"Achang, Achang!" Wang Yuanwai shouted.
"Here we come, master, here we come." The housekeeper, Lao Yu hurried over, "What do you want me to do, master?"
"What's the situation outside?" Wang Yuanwai asked.
"Master, it sounds like those farmers are causing trouble." The housekeeper, Old Yu, replied anxiously.
----
Outside the gate of the Wang family.
The villagers of Litang Village all came to the door with various agricultural tools.
"Big guy, Wang Papi made us unable to live, and we will not let him live in peace. There must be a lot of food in his house. Let's rush in together and get the food back!" The first strong man with a hoe shouted to the people behind him. road.
As soon as the voice fell, there were cheers everywhere.
Seeing this situation, the gentry and landowners who had gathered around the door stepped back one after another, looking at the group of people cautiously.
The strong man took the lead in smashing the gate of Wang's house with a hoe, and the king and other people in the courtyard were frightened when they heard the sound of smashing the door.
"Achang! Hurry up, get someone out through the back door! Hurry up and report to the officials!" Wang Yuanwai shouted anxiously to the housekeeper, Lao Yu.
Lao Yu nodded, and quickly ordered his servants to sneak out through the back door.
I never thought that the back door was also surrounded by those villagers.
"Master, the back door is also blocked, so I can't get out!" Lao Yu said with a sad face.
"Then climb over the wall!" Wang Yuanwai shouted.
"Over, over the wall?" Old Yu looked at the three-foot-high courtyard wall, and couldn't help being a little confused.
He was about to ask someone to get the ladder, when someone came up to him and said, "Housekeeper, do you still remember the dog hole in the corner of our backyard?"
Lao Yu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he patted his forehead with his hand. How could he forget this?
The dog hole was blocked by him with someone.
Because it couldn’t be blocked with lime several times, it was always hollowed out by animals in the nearby fields and mountains before it dried completely. Later, a large square water tank was simply made to block it. .
Lao Yu immediately told Wang Yuanwai about the dog hole.
"Then what are you waiting for?! Hurry up!" Wang Yuanwai said eagerly.
"Quick, go! Let someone get out of the dog hole immediately!" Lao Yu immediately rushed to the backyard with his servants.
After the servants of the Wang family got out of the dog hole, they immediately ran to report to the officials.
After about half an hour, the people from the government finally rushed over.
At this time, the villagers had already rushed into the Wang's house, and Wang Yuanwai's family had already retreated to the backyard. The villagers were attacking the gate of the backyard.
Fortunately, Wang's house is a big house with several entrances and exits, and there are several gates inside and outside, otherwise Wang Yuanwai would have been beaten to death by angry villagers long ago.
After the people from the government came, seeing such a chaotic situation, they didn't know how to deal with it for a while.
The land issue has always been the focus of the court's attention. This time, a large amount of land has been turned into waste land. No matter how black-hearted the government is, they know that this matter must not be hidden.
Now that the villagers have come to the Wang family, they might as well take down the royal officials, and maybe they can win a good official reputation for eliminating harm for the people. Even if the court asks about it in the future, they will have an answer.
After weighing the pros and cons, the local county magistrate Zhou Shen immediately decided to win Wang Yuanwai.
Originally, Wang Yuanwai thought that after the people from the government came, his wealth and life would be guaranteed, and he must repair these lowly peasants, but he didn't expect the government to turn against him and point the finger at him.
"Zhou Shen, you bastard, you took so much money from me, and you actually crossed the river and demolished the bridge!" Wang Yuanwai cursed angrily.
Zhou Shen was furious after hearing this: "You have violated the laws of heaven and harmed the people. You don't know how to repent, and you still dare to slander this official. It is really abominable! This official must eliminate harm for the people today! Come on, take him back to the yamen quickly. This official must be promoted immediately to give justice to the common people!"
The gentry and landowners present at the scene saw Wang Yuanwai's fate like this, and saw that the county magistrate turned his face faster than turning a book, and they were afraid that they would be dragged into the water, so they hurriedly evacuated the place.
However, after they went back, they all encountered villagers' riots one after another, and it didn't take long for them to be taken down one by one by the government.
This time, not only did the land in Litang Village have problems, but Qingtian Town, more than 300 kilometers away, also turned into wasteland overnight. Because the impact of this matter was too great, the imperial court attached great importance to it and immediately sent people down to investigate .
Later, Cai Zhizhou, the governor sent by the imperial court, found out that corruption and perverting the law were prevalent in the officialdom here, and took down all corrupt officials including Zhou Shen.
It's a pity that even though these culprits have been brought to justice, the farmland that has become wasteland does not know how to manage it.
During the severe drought, thousands of miles of bare land, everyone can still have hope, as long as it rains from the sky, they can survive.
But now the weather is good, but nothing can grow in this field anymore, which undoubtedly makes people desperate.
Faced with this situation, the government is helpless. It can only let people reclaim new farmland, but it is not easy to reclaim new farmland. There is only so much land around here, but all the land that can be reclaimed into farmland has already been opened up. , how can the remaining small corner fields support these thousands of people.
As a result, countless people began to leave their homes and become refugees.
----
Fire Cloud Cave.
The saints of the three emperors sat on their thrones, and in front of them was a mirror transformed by the magic of mysterious light.
Xuanyuan Huangdi looked at the current situation of the villagers in Litang Village in the mirror, and couldn't help shaking his head and sighing: "People, there is always the word greed."
Shennong looked worried: "Poor these people, I'm afraid they will have to leave their homes and wander around in fear all day long."
In order to avoid today's situation, he specially cast a spell on the grain seeds. Only when the rice is harvested for the first time can the husks be easily removed.
After that, if you continue to plant, the harvested rice will be as solid as a rock, and it is absolutely impossible to peel off the husks with mortal farm tools.
Farmers discovering this situation will no longer plant such waste grains.
However, after all, he underestimated the greed of people's hearts, so many people didn't even try to use the rice for rice milling.
Whether it is the landowners outside the king or the ordinary farmers, they all regard every grain of rice as a treasure, thinking that if it is ground into rice, it will no longer be able to continue to use it as a grain seed, so the first thought in their hearts is It is to store the harvested rice first and wait until it is needed.
Once a person is deluded by greed, he often forgets some of the simplest common sense, and easily becomes a complete lunatic or fool.
Driven by desire, they completely forgot that only a few grain seeds are needed to continuously grow new rice, which led to today's situation!
Emperor Fuxi said slowly: "Everyone has their own fate, fate dictates it, so you don't need to worry so much."
"But they are what they are today because of my grain seeds." Shennong shook his head and said.
"What does Yudi mean?" Fuxi looked at Shennong.
"I want to save them." Shen Nong replied.
"Brother, no! We are already saints, so we must not rashly interfere with the affairs of the world." Xuanyuan said immediately.
"Yes! Xuanyuan Yudi is right. Since we are sanctified, we should not interfere with the mortal affairs. You gave the grain seeds earlier, but there was a reason for it. The hungry ghosts in the underworld are causing trouble in the world. We will help a group It is not impossible. But now it is a man-made disaster, caused by the greed of mortals, and all the consequences will naturally be borne by mortals. We must not intervene, so as not to disturb the cycle of heaven." Fuxi said.
"...but they are our people after all! This man-made disaster is more severe than natural disaster, does the emperor really have the heart to let it go?" Shen Nong was silent for a while, then said slowly.
Fuxi pondered for a moment, then sighed: "Even if we want to save him, but we can't do it ourselves, what countermeasures can Yudi think of?"
"I think the person who came to ask for grain seeds that day should be able to do this." Shen Nong said.
"Then you can ask the previous question! But Yudi needs to keep in mind that this matter cannot be forced!" Fuxi said.
Shennong nodded after listening.
----
Yunzhou City.
Chu Lingyang was making golden egg fried rice in the backyard kitchen.
At this time, a divine consciousness suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.
Chu Lingyang took a look, and it turned out to be Shennong.
"My lord!" Chu Lingyang hurriedly bowed.
"Do you know what happened in Litang Village recently?" Shen Nong asked.
"Li Tang Village?" Chu Lingyang looked bewildered, "I've been in this Yunzhou City recently, and I haven't left the city for a long time, so I don't know about Li Tang Village. The emperor mentioned Li Tang Village, so what happened there What's the big deal?"
Shen Nong nodded: "You obtained grain seeds from me earlier, and then went to Litang Village to cultivate. Later, Wang Decheng, a member of the village, stole some grain seeds, and after you left, he pulled out all the rice in the village. Go, replace them all with this rice seed, and the villagers have followed suit. Now the land there has been exhausted by the rice and can no longer grow food. Many people there have left their homes and wandered around. It won't be long before ten rooms and nine rooms will be empty."
While speaking, Shennong imagined the current scene of Litang Village.
Chu Lingyang saw from the mysterious light mirror that the rice fields that used to be continuous and green had turned into barren land, and he couldn't help but click his tongue inwardly.
After a while, the scene in the Xuanguang mirror changed a few more times, it was the scene of countless people living on the street begging everywhere.
After Chu Lingyang read it, he felt very depressed.
"The emperor told me this matter, did you want me to solve it?" Chu Lingyang asked straight to the point.
"Although it is a man-made disaster this time, there are too many people who have been displaced because of this. We can't bear it in our hearts, but because we are saints, we are not allowed to interfere in the affairs of the world. It may disturb the cycle of heaven, so I want to ask you, whether Are you willing to help the villagers of Litang Village?" Shen Nong asked.
As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Lingyang received a notification from the system: "The player [Eat Well] can receive the dungeon task [Restore the farmland exhausted by Shennong Valley], does the player [Eat Well] receive the task?"
Chu Lingyang deliberately clicked on the task interface and looked at it several times before confirming that this task was not a compulsory task.
Chu Lingyang, who had been forced to receive two mandatory tasks in a row, was still slightly uncomfortable seeing that the tasks given by Shennong were not mandatory.
Being abused has made me a habit, really....Chu Lingyang shook his head and laughed at himself.
Seeing Chu Lingyang shaking his head, Shennong thought that Chu Lingyang refused to go to Litang Village, so he sighed helplessly: "If that's the case, then don't force it. It's probably God's will!"
Chu Lingyang was startled after hearing this, I didn't say no!
"My lord, I..."
Chu Lingyang wanted to explain, but at this moment, there were several knocks on the back door.
Chu Lingyang subconsciously turned his head to look, and when he turned his head back to explain clearly to Shennong, Shennong's consciousness had already left.
Forget it, anyway, if I take this task and go to Litang Village to help those villagers, Shennong will naturally know about it.Chu Lingyang shrugged and thought.
There was another knock on the back door.
Chu Lingyang stepped forward to open the door with doubts on his face.
After opening the door, Chu Lingyang discovered that it was an old beggar with a cane.
"Excuse me, can I ask for a bowl of rice?" the beggar asked with a bow.
"Come in, please!" Chu Lingyang pursed his lips and smiled.
"No, I'll just wait here." The beggar shook his head.
"It's okay, come in! I'll get you some food." Chu Lingyang said.
"Then thank you, thank you, thank you." The beggar thanked and walked into the yard.
Seeing that he was inconvenient to move with a cane, Chu Lingyang wanted to help him, but he stopped him.
"Don't help, don't help, the old man's body is dirty, don't stain the nobleman's hands." The beggar said hastily.
"What kind of nobleman am I?" Chu Lingyang said with a smile, and at the same time stepped forward to help him sit down at the table in the courtyard.
In fact, in reality, most people are very sympathetic, but they put away their sympathy because they hate those fake beggars who cheat.
What makes people even more angry and helpless is that some fake beggars can still touch porcelain!
If Chu Lingyang didn't meet a beggar in the game today, but encountered a beggar coming to beg in reality, then he would only give the beggar a little money, but he would not dare to give the food he cooked to the beggar.
Because he once heard from a friend that a beggar came to beg for food, and the friend kindly gave alms, but the beggar felt uncomfortable after eating for some reason, so he blamed the whole thing on the friend.
My friend also owns a restaurant. He was afraid that the beggar would make trouble and affect his business, so he had to pay the beggar thousands of dollars in order to settle the matter.
Chu Lingyang often thinks, what kind of world is it that he still has to guard against other people's conspiracy to do good deeds nowadays.
Sometimes when I think about it, I really feel that it is not as comfortable as the world in this game.
He served a bowl of golden egg fried rice to the beggar.
"Thank you, thank you!" the beggar thanked repeatedly.
"You're welcome, eat slowly! I'll get you a bowl of soup." After Chu Lingyang finished speaking, he went to fill another bowl of clear soup for the beggar to drink.
He made this clear soup with chicken bones over a slow fire, and it was specially made according to the needs of customers.
Although this golden egg fried rice is delicious, some people are not used to eating rice without soup. Now it is perfect when paired with this clear soup.
The beggar looked at the delicious food in front of him and devoured it like a wolf, which made Chu Lingyang feel inexplicably sad.
He thought of the scene in the Xuanguang mirror again, and thought of those villagers who were wandering and begging everywhere...
"Old man, you don't come from Litang Village, do you?" Chu Lingyang asked this idea suddenly in his heart.
"Li Tang Village? No." The beggar shook his head.
"Then where are you from? Where is your hometown?" Chu Lingyang asked curiously.
The beggar smiled and said: "The old man makes his home all over the world, takes the sky as his quilt, and the earth as his mat. He wanders all day long, and his hometown is everywhere."
After hearing this, Chu Lingyang was taken aback for a moment, and then also laughed. He didn't expect the other party to be so open-minded.
Seeing that the beggar's rice bowl was empty, Chu Lingyang picked up the rice bowl and planned to fill another bowl for him.
When walking towards the stove, he suddenly felt that the beggar had a different temperament, so he immediately turned around and planned to take another look at the beggar.
Unexpectedly, after he turned around, the beggar had disappeared.
At this time, a faint voice came from the air: "Your egg fried rice is really delicious, I will come again next time, hahaha."
Chu Lingyang was stunned. Is this a fairy or a monster?
In this [Hunyuan] world, every moment is full of adventures!
The author has something to say: there is a power outage today, please understand, thank you!
The farmland where Shennong Valley was planted began to fail to grow anything. At first, everyone thought it was a problem with the land, because not every mu of farmland could not grow food.
The farmers thought that their farmland might be too barren, so they couldn't continue planting this kind of fairy valley that ripens once a day.

At this moment, there was a sudden shout of killing outside.
Wang Yuanwai was startled, could this group of people really be crazy? !
"Achang, Achang!" Wang Yuanwai shouted.
"Here we come, master, here we come." The housekeeper, Lao Yu hurried over, "What do you want me to do, master?"
"What's the situation outside?" Wang Yuanwai asked.
"Master, it sounds like those farmers are causing trouble." The housekeeper, Old Yu, replied anxiously.
----
Outside the gate of the Wang family.
The villagers of Litang Village all came to the door with various agricultural tools.
"Big guy, Wang Papi made us unable to live, and we will not let him live in peace. There must be a lot of food in his house. Let's rush in together and get the food back!" The first strong man with a hoe shouted to the people behind him. road.
As soon as the voice fell, there were cheers everywhere.
Seeing this situation, the gentry and landowners who had gathered around the door stepped back one after another, looking at the group of people cautiously.
The strong man took the lead in smashing the gate of Wang's house with a hoe, and the king and other people in the courtyard were frightened when they heard the sound of smashing the door.
"Achang! Hurry up, get someone out through the back door! Hurry up and report to the officials!" Wang Yuanwai shouted anxiously to the housekeeper, Lao Yu.
Lao Yu nodded, and quickly ordered his servants to sneak out through the back door.
I never thought that the back door was also surrounded by those villagers.
"Master, the back door is also blocked, so I can't get out!" Lao Yu said with a sad face.
"Then climb over the wall!" Wang Yuanwai shouted.
"Over, over the wall?" Old Yu looked at the three-foot-high courtyard wall, and couldn't help being a little confused.
He was about to ask someone to get the ladder, when someone came up to him and said, "Housekeeper, do you still remember the dog hole in the corner of our backyard?"
Lao Yu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he patted his forehead with his hand. How could he forget this?

"Quick, go! Let someone get out of the dog hole immediately!" Lao Yu immediately rushed to the backyard with his servants.
After the servants of the Wang family got out of the dog hole, they immediately ran to report to the officials.
After about half an hour, the people from the government finally rushed over.
At this time, the villagers had already rushed into the Wang's house, and Wang Yuanwai's family had already retreated to the backyard. The villagers were attacking the gate of the backyard.
Fortunately, Wang's house is a big house with several entrances and exits, and there are several gates inside and outside, otherwise Wang Yuanwai would have been beaten to death by angry villagers long ago.

The saints of the three emperors sat on their thrones, and in front of them was a mirror transformed by the magic of mysterious light.

But now it is a man-made disaster, caused by the greed of mortals, and all the consequences will naturally be borne by mortals. We must not intervene, so as not to disturb the cycle of heaven." Fuxi said.
"...but they are our people after all! This man-made disaster is more severe than natural disaster, does the emperor really have the heart to let it go?" Shen Nong was silent for a while, then said slowly.
Fuxi pondered for a moment, then sighed: "Even if we want to save him, but we can't do it ourselves, what countermeasures can Yudi think of?"
"I think the person who came to ask for grain seeds that day should be able to do this." Shen Nong said.
"Then you can ask the previous question! But Yudi needs to keep in mind that this matter cannot be forced!" Fuxi said.
Shennong nodded after listening.
----
Yunzhou City.
Chu Lingyang was making golden egg fried rice in the backyard kitchen.
At this time, a divine consciousness suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.
Chu Lingyang took a look, and it turned out to be Shennong.
"My lord!" Chu Lingyang hurriedly bowed.
"Do you know what happened in Litang Village recently?" Shen Nong asked.
"Li Tang Village?" Chu Lingyang looked bewildered, "I've been in this Yunzhou City recently, and I haven't left the city for a long time, so I don't know about Li Tang Village. The emperor mentioned Li Tang Village, so what happened there What's the big deal?"
Shen Nong nodded: "You obtained grain seeds from me earlier, and then went to Litang Village to cultivate. Later, Wang Decheng, a member of the village, stole some grain seeds, and after you left, he pulled out all the rice in the village. Go, replace them all with this rice seed, and the villagers have followed suit. Now the land there has been exhausted by the rice and can no longer grow food. Many people there have left their homes and wandered around. It won't be long before ten rooms and nine rooms will be empty."
While speaking, Shennong imagined the current scene of Litang Village.
Chu Lingyang saw from the mysterious light mirror that the rice fields that used to be continuous and green had turned into barren land, and he couldn't help but click his tongue inwardly.
After a while, the scene in the Xuanguang mirror changed a few more times, it was the scene of countless people living on the street begging everywhere.
After Chu Lingyang read it, he felt very depressed.
"The emperor told me this matter, did you want me to solve it?" Chu Lingyang asked straight to the point.
"Although it is a man-made disaster this time, there are too many people who have been displaced because of this. We can't bear it in our hearts, but because we are saints, we are not allowed to interfere in the affairs of the world. It may disturb the cycle of heaven, so I want to ask you, whether Are you willing to help the villagers of Litang Village?" Shen Nong asked.
As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Lingyang received a notification from the system: "The player [Eat Well] can receive the dungeon task [Restore the farmland exhausted by Shennong Valley], does the player [Eat Well] receive the task?"
Chu Lingyang deliberately clicked on the task interface and looked at it several times before confirming that this task was not a compulsory task.
Chu Lingyang, who had been forced to receive two mandatory tasks in a row, was still slightly uncomfortable seeing that the tasks given by Shennong were not mandatory.
Being abused has made me a habit, really....Chu Lingyang shook his head and laughed at himself.
Seeing Chu Lingyang shaking his head, Shennong thought that Chu Lingyang refused to go to Litang Village, so he sighed helplessly: "If that's the case, then don't force it. It's probably God's will!"
Chu Lingyang was startled after hearing this, I didn't say no!
"My lord, I..."
Chu Lingyang wanted to explain, but at this moment, there were several knocks on the back door.
Chu Lingyang subconsciously turned his head to look, and when he turned his head back to explain clearly to Shennong, Shennong's consciousness had already left.
Forget it, anyway, if I take this task and go to Litang Village to help those villagers, Shennong will naturally know about it.Chu Lingyang shrugged and thought.
There was another knock on the back door.
Chu Lingyang stepped forward to open the door with doubts on his face.
After opening the door, Chu Lingyang discovered that it was an old beggar with a cane.
"Excuse me, can I ask for a bowl of rice?" the beggar asked with a bow.
"Come in, please!" Chu Lingyang pursed his lips and smiled.
"No, I'll just wait here." The beggar shook his head.
"It's okay, come in! I'll get you some food." Chu Lingyang said.
"Then thank you, thank you, thank you." The beggar thanked and walked into the yard.
Seeing that he was inconvenient to move with a cane, Chu Lingyang wanted to help him, but he stopped him.
"Don't help, don't help, the old man's body is dirty, don't stain the nobleman's hands." The beggar said hastily.
"What kind of nobleman am I?" Chu Lingyang said with a smile, and at the same time stepped forward to help him sit down at the table in the courtyard.
In fact, in reality, most people are very sympathetic, but they put away their sympathy because they hate those fake beggars who cheat.
What makes people even more angry and helpless is that some fake beggars can still touch porcelain!
If Chu Lingyang didn't meet a beggar in the game today, but encountered a beggar coming to beg in reality, then he would only give the beggar a little money, but he would not dare to give the food he cooked to the beggar.
Because he once heard from a friend that a beggar came to beg for food, and the friend kindly gave alms, but the beggar felt uncomfortable after eating for some reason, so he blamed the whole thing on the friend.
My friend also owns a restaurant. He was afraid that the beggar would make trouble and affect his business, so he had to pay the beggar thousands of dollars in order to settle the matter.
Chu Lingyang often thinks, what kind of world is it that he still has to guard against other people's conspiracy to do good deeds nowadays.
Sometimes when I think about it, I really feel that it is not as comfortable as the world in this game.
He served a bowl of golden egg fried rice to the beggar.
"Thank you, thank you!" the beggar thanked repeatedly.
"You're welcome, eat slowly! I'll get you a bowl of soup." After Chu Lingyang finished speaking, he went to fill another bowl of clear soup for the beggar to drink.
He made this clear soup with chicken bones over a slow fire, and it was specially made according to the needs of customers.
Although this golden egg fried rice is delicious, some people are not used to eating rice without soup. Now it is perfect when paired with this clear soup.
The beggar looked at the delicious food in front of him and devoured it like a wolf, which made Chu Lingyang feel inexplicably sad.
He thought of the scene in the Xuanguang mirror again, and thought of those villagers who were wandering and begging everywhere...
"Old man, you don't come from Litang Village, do you?" Chu Lingyang asked this idea suddenly in his heart.
"Li Tang Village? No." The beggar shook his head.
"Then where are you from? Where is your hometown?" Chu Lingyang asked curiously.
The beggar smiled and said: "The old man makes his home all over the world, takes the sky as his quilt, and the earth as his mat. He wanders all day long, and his hometown is everywhere."
After hearing this, Chu Lingyang was taken aback for a moment, and then also laughed. He didn't expect the other party to be so open-minded.
Seeing that the beggar's rice bowl was empty, Chu Lingyang picked up the rice bowl and planned to fill another bowl for him.
When walking towards the stove, he suddenly felt that the beggar had a different temperament, so he immediately turned around and planned to take another look at the beggar.
Unexpectedly, after he turned around, the beggar had disappeared.
At this time, a faint voice came from the air: "Your egg fried rice is really delicious, I will come again next time, hahaha."
Chu Lingyang was stunned. Is this a fairy or a monster?
In this [Hunyuan] world, every moment is full of adventures!
The author has something to say: there is a power outage today, please understand, thank you!
