Villain: The hostess collapsed after killing the woman to preach

The sudden human voice startled Ning Jie, he turned around to follow the sound, and saw an old woman sitting and talking at the counter.

The old woman's hair was gray, her face was covered with wrinkles, and her complexion was haggard, as if she might die at any moment.

Seeing Ning Jie and Mu Qingxue staring at her silently, the old woman asked again:

"Young man, eat or stay in a hotel?"

Only then did Ning Jie react, calm down and respond:

"It turns out that there are people in this store. Let's have some food first, and then register for a guest room."

"Okay, wait a moment."

The old woman didn't say much, and limped straight to the back kitchen.

Ning Jie and Mu Qingxue looked at each other, then found a relatively clean place and sat down.

After driving for a day, even Ning Jie felt a little tired, especially when riding on horseback. He had to drive the horse and press the gun at the same time, which made his waist a little weak.

Mu Qingxue looked out the window, wondering what she was thinking, while Ning Jie looked at her, and couldn't help sighing in her heart:

"This woman is always pretty when she is quiet, she is indeed my woman."

After a while, the old woman came up with two plates.

"Two guest officers, take it easy."

When the plate was placed on the table, Ning Jie couldn't hide his surprise, and asked in disbelief:

"Shopkeeper, are you sure this is for people to eat?"

The reason why Ning Jie was so surprised was because on the plate on the table was a plate of fried locusts and a plate of mashed potatoes, which couldn’t be simpler.

The old woman had already left, but when she heard Ning Jie's words, she turned around slowly and asked:

"Outlander?"

Ning Jie nodded.

The old woman finally understood, looked at Ning Jie and explained slowly:

"No wonder, you've seen it too. Now that hundreds of miles around are suffering from drought, there's not enough food for a long time. It's good enough to be tempted to satisfy our hunger."

"drought?"

Ning Jie rubbed his chin, recalling all the phenomena he had seen before, the withered vegetation and the cracks in the ground were indeed signs of drought.

"Old man, when did this drought start?"

Ning Jie asked.

"Hey, it was about three years ago. I still remember that our Taoyuan Town used to have good weather and picturesque scenery. It was a famous big town with a radius of hundreds of miles. But three years ago, for some reason, the drought suddenly came and made our Taoyuan Town It became what it is now."

The old woman sighed, and there was endless sadness in her cloudy old eyes.

After listening to the old woman's narration, Ning Jie understood the reason. He also understood the old woman, but he looked at the fried locusts on the table, swallowed hard, and then frowned and said:

"Since that's the case, let's serve another plate of mashed potatoes. As for the worm, it's better to remove it."

Although Ning Jie had seen someone eat fried locusts when he was in Blue Star, but when he was actually faced with this situation, he still had some resistance in his heart.

Especially since he still brought Mu Qingxue with him, he couldn't let the saint eat worms, could he?

Thinking of Mu Qingxue's delicate red lips chewing locusts, Ning Jie felt his scalp go numb, he really didn't want to see such a scene.

"Eat some, it tastes good."

Ning Jie said to Mu Qingxue while eating mashed potatoes.

Although his current cultivation base can completely eat without eating anything, Ning Jie is still willing to maintain the joy of life as a mortal. The joy of eating is incomparable to relying on spiritual power to maintain life.

Mu Qingxue took a look at Ning Jie, picked up the chopsticks and picked up the mashed potatoes and put them in her mouth.

"How is it? Is it okay?"

"Ah."

Mu Qingxue nodded and said softly.

This is not her polite words, but that she has lived in the ageless clan, and the clan has lived in seclusion for tens of millions of years, so the basic food and drink are self-sufficient, and the food is so simple.

So she wasn't picky about the original mashed potatoes, but it reminded her of her days in the immortal mountain.

Seeing Mu Qingxue eating happily, Ning Jie also smiled lightly:

"In fact, I also have certain attainments in food, especially roasted chicken. I am good at cooking chicken. I will definitely give you my chicken when I have a chance."

At first Ning Jie just wanted to show off his cooking skills, but after saying this sentence, he himself found that this sentence was a little bit wrong...

Like a pun?

But the pure Mu Qingxue naturally didn't know the deep meaning of Ning Jie's unintentional words, she was just curious.

You must know that among the Bold people, men usually work in the fields, and they don't know how to cook. Women have always been responsible for cooking at home, continuing a traditional life custom of men farming and women weaving.

But now Ning Jie is the one who knows how to cook, and he is even better at cooking chicken.

This can't help but raise some expectations in Mu Qingxue's heart, some want to taste how delicious Ning Jie's chicken is?

Seeing that Mu Qingxue didn't speak, Ning Jie asked back:

"What? Don't believe me?"

Mu Qingxue put down her chopsticks and shook her head.

"not me……"

She subconsciously wanted to say that she believed in Ning Jie, but the moment the words came out of her mouth, she remembered the things that happened between her previous life and Ning Jie, which made her swallow the words that were on the verge of her mouth.

Just when Mu Qingxue fell into embarrassment and didn't know how to answer, the street outside the door suddenly became noisy.

The sound of shouting was mixed with the sound of clashing pots and pans, which made the originally empty and lonely street suddenly become noisy.

"what's the situation?

Ning Jie couldn't help poking his head out of the window to look outside.

At this moment, many false doors on both sides of the street were opened, and people in shabby clothes rushed to the other side of the street with bamboo baskets and pots.

At the same time, the old woman in the inn hurried out with a bamboo basket in her hand.

"Old man, what's the matter?"

Ning Jie asked curiously.

"The Gao family is distributing food again, I have to go quickly to get some!"

The old woman limped and ran out, fearing that she would be late.

Seeing this, Ning Jie slowly put down the chopsticks in his hand, looked at Mu Qingxue and asked:

"Shall we join in the fun?"

"what ever."

Mu Qingxue didn't have any objections. She had been relatively quiet along the way, and basically listened to Ning Jie in everything.

After leaving the inn door, you can see that there are already many people on the street. Only then did Ning Jie realize that it is not that Taoyuan Town is empty, but that everyone is hiding at home.

Following the crowd to the square in the town, several long queues had already formed here.

At the front of the line, there were a few tables with piles of sacks piled up beside them. The people standing in front of the tables were dressed in Chinese clothes, which formed a stark contrast with the people of Taoyuan Town.

However, when Ning Jie looked at the young man among them, he couldn't help frowning.
