Infinite Sims

Chapter 205

The next day.

The sun rises and begins to drive away the darkness.

The moon essence in the air dissipated, replaced by the newly born sun essence.

Feeling the change, Jiang Ren immediately exited the trance state.

"It seems that nothing has changed."

Jiang Ren recalled the feeling from last night to the present, and found that it was no different from when he absorbed it alone.

"Is the efficiency increase too little, so I didn't notice it?"

"It's possible. According to the rarity of the Sun Moon Essence and my absorption speed, it usually takes at least a month to see any changes."

"If the efficiency increase is less than twice, it really doesn't feel right for a short time."

"Other than that, there may be no changes at all. After all, Wan Jinghao is just an ordinary person."

Jiang Ren recalled the inhuman state "weapon" he had experienced before. At that time, the reason why he was able to speed up the cultivation and absorption by the tool man was because he was beside extraordinary human beings such as warriors and cultivators.

But so far, he hasn't seen any existence in this world that surpasses the limit of his body.

It might be because it's just a small village, so you can't see it, but it's more likely that they don't exist.

The latter can be seen from the hidden energy in the air.

In the world that Jiang Ren has experienced so far, in the world where human beings can self-cultivate or evolve beyond the abilities of ordinary people, most of the air will contain special magical energy.

Such as aura, magic power and the like.

Their existence and origin may be different, but most of them have the same effect - strengthening the body or spirit.

"There is no change in the body that wants to grow, and the accumulation of essence can only be slowly grinded day after day, and the system mall is an unreliable lottery."

Jiang Ren reviewed his current situation, and suddenly felt that the future was gloomy.

If this continues, I'm afraid that after thousands of years, I will still be a useless waste seed, but I can't find a way to change it.

"It's useless to think too much, and it's worth a point to accumulate one point of essence."

"Even if the time saved is only a few minutes and a few seconds every day, it is an extremely impressive figure when converted to a hundred years and a thousand years."

Jiang Ren glanced at the two brothers who were still sleeping, and immediately sank into his body.

It didn't take long.

There were slight footsteps outside the house.

That was the voice of Father Wan. As the head of the family, he had to go out to work early.

The family's poor land is not enough to support a family of four, and he has to farm for the village chief so that he can live on.

"..."

Wan Jinghao rubbed his eyes and sat up from the bed.

Seeing that his brother was sleeping soundly with his back turned to him, he reached out and touched under the pillow, where he hid the white handkerchief last night.

"Gone?"

Without touching the handkerchief, Wan Jinghao's face changed slightly.

Just when he started to panic, confused and at a loss, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a handkerchief on the ground beside the bed.

It should be that when I was sleeping last night, I somehow squeezed from under the pillow to under the bed.

see.

Wan Jinghao breathed a sigh of relief, quietly picked up the handkerchief, opened the door and walked out of the room.

It was still dark, but I could barely see the way.

Seeing that the door of his parents' room was closed, Wan Jinghao took a ladle of water from the water tank in the corner with peace of mind, and then began to wash the dirty handkerchief.

Seeing the handkerchief gradually turning white in his hand, his eyes revealed a look of joy.

"This handkerchief..."

Without any warning, Wan Shi's voice sounded behind him.

Wan Jinghao stood up instantly in fright, picked up the handkerchief and hid it behind his back.

Wan Shi, who was rubbing his eyes and yawning, was taken aback by his reaction, and then smiled embarrassedly: "Scared you?"

"No."

Wan Jinghao blushed and shook his head, then took the handkerchief in front of him, and explained: "Man, it's the first time we meet, check my face."

"The person I met for the first time, wipe your face with this handkerchief?"

Wan Shi nodded, but did not doubt his brother.

Although the younger brother is a bit stupid, his character is much better than most of his peers, and it is impossible to lie in this kind of place.

"I seem to have seen the words on it somewhere."

Wan Shi looked at the crooked characters on the handkerchief, scratched his head, shook his head, and walked into the house.

Now that he just woke up, his memory is a little confused, it's not important anyway, so he simply doesn't think about it.

"Brother!"

Wan Jinghao looked a little anxious, and stepped forward to him: "Where is it? Return the handkerchief."

Wan Shi was surprised: "Didn't someone give you this?"

Wan Jinghao shook his head and explained: "She is in a hurry, so she left without taking it."

"That is indeed to be paid back."

Although Wan Shi felt that someone who could take out a handkerchief to wipe a stranger's face would not care about a handkerchief.

But considering that this is the kindness of my younger brother, I still try to think back.

Snapped!
He patted his thigh, looked at his younger brother and said: "I saw a carriage with the same words on the handkerchief yesterday. It is said that it is a carriage for the children of the nobles in the city. It seems that they came here to relax. To please them, the whole family moved out and gave up the house."

Wan Jinghao's eyes brightened slightly: "At Li Chang's house..."

"The people who are going to the town are going to leave later, I'll go get dressed first."

Wan Shi entered the room, and while changing his clothes, he said: "I may not come back for more than ten days. If someone soils your clothes again, remember to do it."

The family spent a lot of money to find him a job as an apprentice blacksmith in the town.

Although there is no monthly money, food and housing are included, and you can learn a craft of blacksmithing. The disadvantage is that you rarely have time to come back.

"I know."

Wan Jinghao responded from time to time, not paying attention to this.

Wash the handkerchief and dry it in a ventilated place.

in the afternoon.

Wan Jinghao greeted Wan Mu and ran out of the yard quickly.

In the inner pocket of his clothes, there is a handkerchief that has been washed, dried and folded.

Most of the people in the village were working in the fields at this time, and there were hardly any people on the road. Lu Dadan and others who bullied him yesterday did not see any of them today.

Run all the way.

"hu~hu~"

After arriving at a big tree on the side of Li Chang's house, Wan Jinghao stopped panting, put his hands on the tree, and looked over.

The house of Li Chang's family is the best house in the village.

The wall as high as one person firmly blocks the sight of outsiders. The wall is smooth and clean, and there are decorative tiles on it.

The domestic servant who had been guarding outside the house of the chief had disappeared.

What appeared instead were four tall and burly guards, dressed in light armor and equipped with single swords, with a terrifying murderous aura.

"Amazing."

Wan Jinghao was a little afraid to go over, hesitantly took out the handkerchief.

The handkerchief, which had been washed so as not to get dirty, was wrapped with a clean cloth.

Suddenly, a hand fell on his shoulder.

"Ah~"

Wan Jinghao yelled out in fright, tripped while turning around, and sat down on the ground.

Before he could cry out the pain, he saw a small white hand appearing in front of his eyes.

The owner of the little hand is the little girl from yesterday.

"Sorry, I think you are very focused, so just"

The little girl stuck out her tongue, and stretched out her outstretched hand.

Wanted him to put his hands on it to pull him off the ground.

"My, my fault."

Seeing that it was a little girl, Wan Jinghao put the handkerchief that had fallen to the ground and hadn't let go, together with the wrapped cloth, and put it in the white and tender little hand in front of him.

The little girl froze for a moment: "What is this?"

"handkerchief."

As Wan Jinghao said, he got up by himself.

The little girl opened the cloth and found her own handkerchief inside. Then she remembered that she forgot to take the handkerchief yesterday, and then stuffed it back to Wan Jinghao.

"Give it to you, I have a lot more."

The little girl took out another handkerchief and waved it.

Wan Jinghao took the handkerchief blankly, looked at the radiant little girl, and whispered: "This is pretty, really, don't you want it?"

"It's all the same, what's the difference."

Seeing the embroidery on the handkerchief in his hand, the little girl paused for a moment, her face blushing.

After a closer look, she realized that there was indeed something different.
Because the distorted embroidery on that handkerchief was her work, but she wasn't ready to admit it, so she thought about what excuses she should make.

Gollum!

Wan Jinghao's stomach made a sound of hunger.

The little girl looked over immediately, with a relaxed smile on her face.

Wan Jinghao lowered his head and whispered, "I, I was wrong."

"What's wrong with being hungry? This is for you."

The little girl took out a palm-sized object, which was wrapped in oiled paper, and the seductive aroma could be faintly smelled inside.

Wan Jinghao's nose twitched, feeling even hungrier.

Seeing that he was still in a daze, the little girl stomped her feet angrily and said, "Take it away, I'm tired of lifting it."

"Ah good."

Only then did Wan Jinghao take over and open it.

Inside is a scallion pancake.

The surface of the cake has an attractive golden yellow color, and the oil is slightly reflective. The aroma of green onion, oil and cake blend together, as if sublimated and become more appetizing.

"Here, you eat too."

Wan Jinghao cut the scallion pancake in half, and handed the half wrapped in oiled paper to the little girl.

The little girl was not polite, and reached out to take the cake.

Smelling the fragrance, she was also a little hungry, so naturally she would not choose to refuse.

What's more, this scallion pancake was something she thought was delicious, so she went to the kitchen to ask for it in the morning, and used it for herself in the afternoon.

The two sat next to a big tree.

In the gentle breeze, they ate scallion pancakes in small bites.

"Ok?"

Jiang Ren, who had just turned his attention to the outside world, saw Wan Jinghao and the little girl, and was immediately puzzled: "What happened when I was not around?"

He also released the result yesterday, it is impossible for the silly boy to have any interaction with the little girl again.

But now the two of them not only met, but also sat together, eating what was obviously a piece of food that was divided in half, which made him feel a pain in the face.

"Look, look, does that cloud look like a person?"

The little girl is more outgoing and does not forget to talk while eating.

Wan Jinghao, because of his personality and spoken language, most of the time he just echoed, and only rarely said a few words.

Even so, the two seem to be in harmony.

"Luck is good, you will meet people as soon as you come."

Jiang Ren listened to them patiently for a long time before he finally understood what happened after he entered meditation.

Looking at Wan Jinghao who was smirking, he felt a lot better for no reason.

Compared with the relationship between a man and a woman, it is more appropriate to say that it is friendship for a child of this age who is ignorant.

With the clothes of a little girl, if you can have a good relationship with her.

In the future, with just a little help from the other party, a silly boy can become a rich man in this village and live a life that is envied by his neighbors.

clap clap!

After the little girl finished eating the cake, she stood up and patted the crumbs off her hands, then looked at Wan Jinghao again: "Are you coming tomorrow?"

Wan Jinghao stood up and said hesitantly, "I don't know."

The little girl thought for a while and said, "If you come tomorrow, I'll bring you something delicious."

Wan Jinghao nodded: "Okay."

"That's fine then."

Just as the little girl was about to leave, her steps suddenly stopped, and she turned around and said her name: "My name is Huang, and my name is Lan Xi. How about you?"

After hearing this, Wan Jinghao also read out his own name: "Wan, Jing, Hao."

There was a pause every word, but the pronunciation was correct.

"I must come tomorrow."

Huang Lanxi waved her hand, and after running a certain distance, she put her hands in front of her body, transformed into a quiet Xiaojiabiyu, and slowly walked into the gate guarded by four guards.

Wan Jinghao looked towards the door with his head, and did not look away for a long time.

"You can tell at a glance that there is too little homework."

Seeing him like this, Jiang Ren felt emotional.

I think back when I was my age, I had so much homework that I wanted to cry
Jiang Ren thought about it carefully, and found that he didn't seem to have started school at that time, and was playing mud with his peers.

a few days later.

Wan Jinghao would go under the big tree every day.

Huang Lanxi also brought pastries as promised, changing styles and patterns, never repeating each day.

"This is today's pastry."

Under the shadow of the big tree, Huang Lanxi opened a square cloth, revealing two tempting pastries.

Wan Jinghao said thank you in a low voice, and took one of the pastries away.

The two of them sat by the tree and ate small bites as they had done a few times before.

But what is different from before is that Huang Lanxi, who originally had endless words, is now silent in a rare way.

The careful Wan Jinghao felt her change and couldn't help but look at her.

In the innocent demeanor, there is a delicate and naughty look, and in the clear and beautiful complexion, there is an elegant temperament.

He remembered the sound of storytelling he heard when he went to the town with his father half a year ago and passed the restaurant. He didn't quite understand what it meant, but he felt that it could be used on Huang Lanxi.

"Did I stick pastry to my face?"

Huang Lanxi noticed his gaze, raised her hand to touch her face, and asked doubtfully, "Where is it stuck?"

Wan Jinghao shook his head hastily, and said shyly, "No, no, that...do you have something on your mind?"

"You saw it."

Huang Lanxi stuffed only half of the pastry into her mouth in one gulp, lying on her knees with a melancholy expression: "Wan Jinghao, I'm leaving tomorrow."

"Huh?" Wan Jinghao was taken aback.

Huang Lanxi repeated: "I said that I will leave tomorrow and return to Yecheng."

Wan Jinghao nodded, but did not speak.

But there was an involuntary look of sadness in his eyes.

The two were silent for a long time.

Huang Lanxi patted her face, cheered herself up, and said to him with a smile: "Come here early tomorrow, I have a treasure for you."

Wan Jinghao was startled, touched the longevity lock through his clothes, then nodded vigorously: "Okay, I have it too, baby here."

"Then it's settled."

Huang Lanxi had a faint dimple on her left cheek, and she smiled like a blooming flower.

"Will you come again in the future?"

Wan Jinghao nodded again, seeing that she got up and was about to leave, he couldn't help asking.

I don't know if it was because of anxiety, but this is the most fluent and standard sentence he has said so far, just like a normal peer.

Huang Lanxi shook her head in frustration: "I don't know, it depends on whether my father will come."

Wan Jinghao hesitated for a while, then asked again: "Then can I go see you?"

"Okay, but my dad's side..."

Huang Lanxi glanced at the high wall next to her, then turned her head and said, "Daddy doesn't like me playing with outsiders unless they are very knowledgeable. Do you know what learning is?"

Wan Jinghao was puzzled: "I don't know."

Huang Lanxi frowned and thought for a while, then explained: "Study is... oh, anyway, it's someone who has read a lot. If you read more, my father won't stop me from seeing you."

Wan Jinghao's face was firm: "Well, I will read more in the future."

"Is it that casual?"

Jiang Ren, who had been in a state of meditation for several days, looked at the scene outside and felt that he seemed to have missed something interesting these days.

Reading more books is indeed a good thing.

In this era, scholars have a high status and are the most able to achieve class leaps.

But regardless of the intelligence of this silly boy, can he find a place where he can teach reading?Can you find and afford the tuition?

"There is often an insurmountable distance between reality and ideals, but it is always a good thing to have ideals."

Jiang Ren smiled and blessed Wan Jinghao silently.

This is the only thing he can do as a seed with little future.

"and many more!"

Jiang Ren recalled a detail that he hadn't noticed just now: "When this silly boy said he was going to give the baby, did he touch the longevity lock through his clothes?"

"The long life lock made of copper is not worth a lot of money, not to mention the meaning is extraordinary."

"The baby he said, shouldn't it be me in the longevity lock?"

"It doesn't seem like a loss to change to a tool man."

Jiang Ren glanced at the ordinary Wan Jinghao, and then at the pink and lovely Huang Lanxi.
