"Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..." Beside the woman was a very small girl with thin yellow hair, who was only four or five years old.

The woman seemed to fall a little hard, lying on the ground for a long time and unable to get up, she could only barely raise her hand to pat the daughter next to her, coaxing "Don't cry".

Xia Chen stepped forward, said "Excuse me", and then reached out to help the woman up.

"Thank you, sir." When she raised her head, Xia Chen discovered that the woman's facial features were quite handsome, but her complexion was sallow and her figure was extremely thin. Even through the clothes, she could see that the woman was so thin that only a handful of bones remained. , A look is extremely malnourished.

Xia Chen has always liked children, seeing the little girl crying convulsively, but even the crying was extremely weak, his heart softened, he took out the pastry in his book box, and gave two pieces to the little girl.

The little girl stared wide-eyed, staring at it without blinking, and began to swallow before eating, but dared not reach out, glanced at the pastry Xia Chen handed over, and then went to see her mother.

The woman hesitated for a moment, she knew, let alone this delicious pastry, her daughter has not been able to eat a decent meal for several days, and the mother-in-law is only willing to give a little thin rice soup that can be seen every day.

Really unable to bear the eager eyes of her daughter, the woman gritted her teeth and nodded, the little girl happily took the pastry in Xia Chen's hand, swallowed hard, and then lifted the pastry to her mother's mouth: "Mom, you eat. "

The woman pushed her hand away, pulled her to thank Xia Chen, if Xia Chen hadn't stopped him quickly, she would have asked the little girl to kowtow to him.

"My lord is going to the city?" The woman took Xia Chen's pastry and asked.

Xia Chen nodded, and the woman continued: "I'm afraid the gate of the city has been closed now, the road ahead is not easy, there are many mud pits, if you have nowhere to go, you can go to the village for lodging, enter the third house in the village, and they There are extra houses in the family, and merchants often stay there. Going further inside the seventh house, their house also keeps foreigners, and the house is more regular than the previous house. The house with haystacks at the door..."

As if to repay Xia Chen, the woman reported the situation of several houses in the village where she could stay, and she clearly stated the pros and cons.

Xia Chen thought for a while, and although he could spend the night in the space, psychologically he still wanted a house where he could accommodate himself, so he accepted the woman's kindness and followed her to the village.

On the way, the mother and daughter ate up all the cakes Xia Chen gave them. The woman only took a small bite at the strong request of her daughter, but the little girl ate with satisfaction, chewing every bite carefully for a long time before she was willing to swallow it. .

When approaching the entrance of the village, the woman stopped suddenly. Xia Chen looked over suspiciously. The woman pushed her daughter down and asked her to lead Xia Chen, but she walked back with the wooden bucket.

"Where is your mother going?" Xia Chen asked the little girl curiously.

After eating his cakes, the little girl was not afraid of him, she said in a soft voice, "Mother went to fetch water, but if she didn't fetch water back, the milk wouldn't be eaten."

Xia Chen was silent, another wicked mother-in-law who tortured her daughter-in-law.

The little girl took Xia Chen to the house he chose, Xia Chen gave her a piece of candy, sent the little girl home, and then knocked on the door.

This family can join the host family, as the woman said, it is a kind and honest family, and the house is also cleaned. Xia Chen gave ten copper coins for the accommodation fee, and two more, the host family So he brought out the newly made quilt for Xia Chen to use.

Xia Chen took care of the dinner by himself. He asked the host to buy two sweet potatoes and prepared to bake them. The old lady of the host came to boil water for Xia Chen. .

While boiling the water, the old woman asked Xia Chen curiously, how did she know that her family had a house for rent, since she had never met him before.

Xia Chen then described the mother and daughter that he met on the road, saying that the woman pointed the way. When the old woman heard this, she let out a long sigh: "It turned out to be Zhenniang, such a good girl, but she just has a bad life."

As soon as I heard the story, Xia Chen had no intention of inquiring about other people's sex, but the old woman obviously started to talk about sex, and she told Xia Chen about Zhenniang while lighting the fire.

Zhenniang is not from this village, her natal family is from another village not far from here. Zhenniang's father is a scholar, and she is the only daughter in the family.

As for how the only daughter of a scholar ended up in such a miserable state, the old lady said that it was because of her mother's fate that she restrained her father and her mother.It is said that Zhenniang could twist needles and thread threads when she was young, and she was very good at needlework, so she was named Zhenniang.

The needle is a sharp object, and most people would not name it for their children. It has a bad meaning, but the talented father of Zhenniang didn't believe it. He said that he was just such an only daughter, and if he had a sharp temper, he would not be bullied.

In the end, not waiting for Zhenniang and Ji, her mother was seriously ill first, and the family's money was exhausted, but they were unable to save her.In order to make money, Zhenniang's father went to a bookstore in the city to copy books. One day it rained heavily, and when he returned, he accidentally fell into a ditch beside the road. When someone found him, he suffered from the cold and broke his leg. The family had no money to treat him. It didn't take long to go like this.

And Zhenniang's current husband's surname is Huang. The Huang family has two sons. Poor, with a widowed mother and young brother to support, she dared not think about Zhenniang, the daughter of a scholar family.

Later, Zhen's mother's family fell into decline, and she was the only orphan left. Huang Dalang tortured his mother for a long time before he got his mother to agree to marry Zhen's mother into the family.

Zhenniang first married and lived a good life for a few years. Although her mother-in-law was hot and mean, Huang Dalang protected his wife everywhere, and Zhenniang brought some of her father's books to enlighten Huang Erlang.

The mother-in-law hoped that there would be a scholar in the family, so she didn't look so coldly at Zhenniang. Later, Zhenniang became pregnant and gave birth to a girl named Xuanniang. Although the mother-in-law didn't like it, Huang Dalang loved this girl very much.

When Xuanniang was five years old, Huang Erlang was studying in a school in the city. Because the road was far away and difficult to walk, Huang Pozi paid more money for him to rent a small yard with a few students to live in the city. to bring him food.

However, one time, Huang Dalang did not come back after entering the city. Zhenniang found the small courtyard that Huang Erlang rented, and found out from other students that Huang Dalang shocked the nobleman's horse and was kicked to death. The family gave dozens of taels of compensation. , Huang Erlang took the money and privately

Huang Dalang died, but Huang Pozi blamed all the crimes on Zhenniang, calling her a bastard who killed her parents and came to harm their family.While scolding the needle girl, she refused to let her go home and marry another. She beat and scolded every day, forcing her to make embroidery and sell money for Huang Erlang to study. She kept saying that she owed the Huang family, but never mentioned Huang Dalang's Where did the life-saving money of tens of taels of silver go?

In just two years, Zhenniang was tortured to the point where she lost her personality. Xia Chen recalled the thin and out-of-shape Zhenniang he saw, and after listening to the old woman's speech, he couldn't help but sigh for Zhenniang's fate.

After hearing such a tragedy, Xia Chen felt a little depressed, so he managed to eat two roasted sweet potatoes with hot water and a piece of pastry for dinner.

After washing up, Xia Chen asked Xia Tongban to help check the surrounding environment, and after confirming that it was safe, he went into the space and first "dialed a phone call" to Zijian.

Wen Shu probably stayed by the camellia all the time, and Xia Chen's morning glory began to change color just after it was finished, and the call was connected.

Xia Chen briefly described his situation, and as expected, knowing that he failed to enter the city, Wen Shu complained: "If I had known this, I might as well have stayed."

Xia Chen let out a haha ​​and dismissed the incident. He didn't expect that it would suddenly snow on the road, and it got dark so quickly, so he delayed his trip and failed to enter the city.

Chatted with Wen Shu for a while, in order to lure him up the mountain, Wen Shu read out a long list of dish names, and told Xia Chen that they were all dishes made by the cook in his yard. Brother's mood.It turned out that it wasn't that he didn't like food, it was because the food in the past couldn't impress him, so his foodie attribute was hidden.

After chatting until the morning glory ran out of energy, Xia Chen said goodnight to Wen Shu, then harvested the crops in the space and planted a new batch of seeds.

After sorting out the big tasks, Xia Chen went to the white sand to see the magical seeds he had planted. He also had a piece of energy water that could increase the chance of mutation, which was useless.

When I went to Baocheng Temple today, Xia Chen found an opportunity to dig some soil beside the temple, and on the way down the mountain, he took some snow water from the forest beside the stone ladder. He still remembers that the soil used for morning glory was from the Fairy Temple. The soil from Baocheng Temple should also be useful.

After planting the seeds, using both soil and snow water, Xia Chen stared at the unmoving white sand and muttered: "Buddha, Buddha, you must not lose to Dao Zu."

After using the aggressive method with the Buddha, Xia Chen washed his hands with the clean water stored in the space. Fortunately, he didn't feel cold in the space, otherwise he would not dare to wash his hands in cold water.

After tossing and tossing, Xia Chen was hungry again. A boy of his age was able to eat. He only ate two sweet potatoes at night. He took out the space and took out the pastry that Wen Shu had given him.

Most of these cakes are sweet cakes, some with oil and some without oil. Xia Chen picked an osmanthus glutinous rice cake. This cake is made with osmanthus honey mixed with sun-dried osmanthus and glutinous rice. It tastes sweet but not greasy. .The glutinous rice eaten cold has a particularly chewy texture and a more lingering sweetness. Xia Chen is young and has good teeth, so he feels that the taste is particularly good when he eats it.

Just finished eating a piece of glutinous rice cake, Xia Chen was about to take another piece, when he suddenly heard the long-lost prompt:

[Congratulations to the host for triggering a random mission: Battle of Glutinous Rice, do you accept it? ]

Xia Chen almost choked, took a sip of water, swallowed the last mouthful of glutinous rice cake, and couldn't help but said, "Ban'er, did your updated resource pack load something strange?"

What the hell is Nuomi fighting? It's completely different from his previous missions.And this random mission is too random, he ate a piece of glutinous rice cake, and suddenly such a mission was triggered, he had eaten glutinous rice before, why didn't he?

[The resource pack has not been loaded yet, and no virus was found after testing. Will the host accept the task? ]

"Pick up, pick up." Xia Chen said immediately.

There is no harm in accepting random missions, and there is no penalty if you don’t complete them. You just can’t get the rewards, and you can’t trigger other random missions. However, it’s been ten years since he opened the system space, and he’s only triggered two random missions, so this punishment really It is equivalent to no, of course Xia Chen will not refuse.

The author has something to say: Doesn't my conscience ache when I say that I never add updates?I obviously added it!Even though it's only been two days...

Well, add more tomorrow, keep your word!
