"Um...Miss, you have been staying at the Taoist for two weeks. Don't worry, it's only 14 days, it will be over soon, and the master is not really going to punish you..."

"..." It seems that she really has to live in this place where there is not even a tent.

"Miss, since there is nothing else, we will leave first."

"Wait, no tent? At least give me a place to hide from the rain."

"Miss..." The butler shrank his neck in embarrassment, "The master said that nothing can be arranged for you, and I have no choice...Miss, please just bear with it." After the butler said that, he quickly got into the car and drove away without looking back.

"Hey! At least give me some change of clothes!————"

Hey……

The cars have all left.

Leaving the smell of car oil all over the floor.

Jiang Meiling: 002, please give me a house to live in.

System 002: Host, I don't have the ability to give you a house to live in, but you can walk around and see if there is any wood to build a house.

Jiang Meiling took a look and thought, where is the wood in this place where even birds don't shit?

Even if there are any, they are just trees that have not yet been cut down.

At this moment, thunder suddenly rumbled in the sky.

Dark clouds appeared instantly.

The originally bright sky suddenly turned dark.

"You're going to die." Jiang Meiling cursed and quickly started looking for a place to hide from the rain.

The sky was pitch black, as if a huge curtain was about to cover the earth, foreshadowing that a rain was coming.

Suddenly, a small figure came into her sight.

He was a little boy about four years old, walking with difficulty, carrying a basket of sweet potatoes on his back.

He was skinny and withered body, his small face was pale without a trace of blood, but his big eyes showed stubbornness and strength.

Jiang Meiling was startled by the little boy who suddenly appeared.

His clothes were tattered and covered with patches, as if telling of the hardships of his life.

His hair was matted to his forehead and covered in dust.

Every step the little boy took seemed so difficult, and the basket seemed too heavy for him, but he still gritted his teeth and walked towards home step by step with determination.

"Hey kid, do you live here?"

As if it was the first time he spoke to someone outside, the little boy raised his head and looked at Jiang Meiling.

The little boy's eyes were exceptionally clear.

Those were a pair of eyes as clear as a mountain spring, untainted by the hardships of life, so pure that they were moving.

Those clear eyes made Jiang Meiling's heart tremble. She saw an indomitable strength in those eyes, a courage that would not give up no matter how difficult life was.

The little boy opened his mouth and said, "I live there."

He stretched out his hand and pointed to the house not far away.

Jiang Meiling raised her head and looked into the distance.

There really is a house, but it is rather simple.

And looking at the weather, the house can probably only provide shelter from the rain.

But having a shelter from the rain is always better than having no shelter at all.

"Great, it's going to rain soon, can I go home with you to avoid the rain?"

The little boy nodded.

He looked at the girl in front of him, she was dressed neatly and beautifully, totally different from the dark look he was wearing.

He loved it.

So the little boy took Jiang Meiling and walked towards home.

"By the way, what's your name? Are there any other people in your family?"

"My name is Xiao Ming, and I have a grandmother at home."

"Xiao Ming?" For some reason, Jiang Meiling suddenly thought of Daoming Si.

She waved her hand to get rid of the annoying guy in her mind, "Then why do you and grandma live here?"

"Because there is a boss here, the boss said if you help me watch the land, there will be delicious food."

boss?

But doesn’t this land belong to the Jiang family?

"Do you know your boss's last name?"

"Yes, his last name is Jiang."

"..."

Well, it really is from the Jiang family.

However, why would the Jiang family let a child and a grandmother come to look after the land?

"My grandma said that my parents are working outside, so we should wait here for them to come back." Xiao Ming seemed to sense the doubts in Jiang Meiling's mind and answered them himself.

"Xiao Ming is such a good boy."

The two of them quickly arrived at the small, shabby house before the heavy rain came.

As soon as you enter the house.

Jiang Meiling smelled an unbearable sour odor...

Oh my god, how long has it been since I cleaned this place?

The floor of the house is full of garbage.

"Grandma, there is a sister who needs to rest." Xiao Ming put down the basket on his body and walked into the inner room.

Jiang Meiling just stood there, not daring to move.

She was afraid that a mouse would come out and give her an intimate kiss in the next second.

"Who is it?" The old lady's hoarse voice came from inside the house.

"Hey baby, walk slower."

Jiang Meiling looked in the direction of the voice and saw an old lady with gray hair and a hunched body walking slowly towards her.

"Baby, you must be exhausted."

The old lady walked over to the little boy and gently stroked his head with her rough hands. Her voice was hoarse but full of love.

Her words seemed to come from ancient times, carrying deep concern and heartache.

Jiang Meiling looked at the old lady and the little boy, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart.

She walked forward with a smile and said softly, "Hello, grandma. My name is Jiang Meiling. It's going to rain outside, so I came to your house to borrow a place to take shelter from the rain."

The old lady's wrinkled face showed a kind smile. She nodded slightly and said in a hoarse voice, "Good boy, come and sit down. Xiao Ming, go get a stool for this sister to sit on."

The little boy responded obediently and ran quickly towards the hut not far away.

After a while, he came over with a small stool, carrying it laboriously.

Jiang Meiling quickly took the stool and said gratefully, "Thank you, Xiao Ming."

After she sat down, she looked at the grandmother and the little boy, her heart full of curiosity and concern.

"Grandma, do you live here? Life must be hard."

The old lady sighed and said in a hoarse voice, "Yes, life is hard. But with this child by my side, I have something to look forward to. The child's parents are working outside and will not be back until the New Year."

Jiang Meiling listened to her grandmother's words and wondered why her grandmother was working here to help them.

"Grandma, you are so old, why are you still working for others?"

"There's nothing we can do... the money his parents send is simply not enough to support the child..."

Jiang Meiling was a little touched. "Grandma, do you want to live in the city? The food there will be better, and it will be better for Xiao Ming's growth."

"Oh, I don't know how to communicate with city people... Besides, I'm just an old woman. If something happens to Xiao Ming, I won't be able to explain to his parents. Forget it."
