Chapter 2 Maybe this is life

The only house in the village that uses tiles as a roof is Xu Erniu's house.

Xu Erniu's father is the only tile maker in the village, and he didn't waste much effort to repair this big tile house.

It is precisely because of the monopoly nature that the conditions of Xu Erniu's family have always been quite good.

In the early years, when Li Huairen's parents were still alive, he had a good relationship with the Xu family. Who expected natural disasters and man-made disasters, Li Huairen's parents both contracted diseases and died, and in the years when Li Huairen was lonely, the Xu family helped the most.

"Yo, bad boy, here."

As soon as I arrived at the door, I saw an old man carrying a hoe.

"Old lady, how many times have I told you, I am a benevolent and righteous Huairen, not a bad person who has done all the bad things."

Li Huairen walked up with a smile and took the hoe from the old lady without any strangeness.

"Hey, let's not talk about that, bad boy, when are you coming to join my family, after this year, my Jiaojiao will be fourteen years old."

"Jiaojiao?"

After Old Lady Xu said this, Li Huairen suddenly remembered.

It seems that two days before the predecessor received the lunch, when he came to Xu's house to eat, Xu's father mentioned it.

said that since he was not successful in his studies, it was better to give him a son-in-law, and he would like to hand over the craft of tile making to him, which is more or less a subsistence skill, isn't it? The predecessor of the heavenly killer seemed to have resigned because of the failure to pass the exam for many years, and he agreed on the spot.

At first glance, it sounds pretty beautiful.,There's a girl and a craft.,But the premise is that the girl has to be reasonable.。

Xu Jiaojiao is the pearl of the Xu family, she really eats whatever she wants, and she sleeps when she wants to sleep. With a height of less than 1.6 meters, he is more than 200 pounds, who can withstand this? This is completely unreasonable!

Li Huairen was fierce, he didn't know what kind of trick his predecessor had committed, and he couldn't think about it, anyway, it was impossible for him to marry Xu Jiaojiao.

To test the fame, you must test the fame!

"Old lady, how can you start a family if you don't start a business? Boy, I am determined to gain fame, but I really have no intention of doing anything else. ”

Li Huairen said that it was a righteous rhetoric.

Old lady Xu just smiled when she heard this.

"Alright, let's go in and eat."

"Gotcha."

Finally bypassing this proposition, Li Huairen happily put the hoe away, and followed Mrs. Xu and Xu Erniu into the lobby for dinner.

There aren't many bells and whistles in the food, and it's not hard to swallow, but it's even worse than delicious. Li Huairen really can't help it, there are some unknown dried wild vegetables left in his house, which are worse than the Xu family's food.

Although there is no big fish and meat, it is always a little oily, and it is full.

Li Huairen estimated that after eating this meal, he would be able to manage it for two or three days without starving to death.

"Huairen, do you still have to take the county exam this year?"

Father Xu walked up to Li Huairen and asked suddenly.

"Yes, yes, Mr. today asked me to prepare well for this year's county exam."

Li Huairen hurriedly replied, for fear that his answer would be slow, and Father Xu would mention Xu Jiaojiao again.

"Sir, tell you to prepare? Then you don't have to work, just leave me here, prepare well, maybe it will be done this year. ”

Father Xu is also an honest man, and when he heard Li Huairen say this, he immediately asked Li Huairen to put down the work in his hand.

Every time Li Huairen came to Xu's house to finish eating, Li Huairen would take the initiative to help Xu's family work.

"Where is this, I don't worry about Erniu going into the mountain alone, don't worry, Uncle Xu, don't delay."

He Li Huairen is not a conscienceless person, and if he doesn't help with other people's food, he won't be begging?

"Okay, you and Erniu go and come back quickly, don't delay your preparation for the county test."

The country man, there are not so many bends around, seeing that Li Huairen's words are sincere, Father Xu will not stop him.

Li Huairen packed his things and was about to go to Xu Erniu.

Suddenly, a text box appeared out of thin air in front of his eyes.

『Loaded Successful』

『Operation Guide: Players can operate with their minds』

『Enter the Bootstrap Mode: Next Step』

Li Huairen swallowed his saliva, is this the welfare of his crossing? Long live the novel!

He tried to click on the next step with his mind, and the text box turned to the page in an instant.

"Players can trigger the quest by interacting with the character to develop the character's favorability, and complete the task to get the task reward: Next"

"Newbie Mission: Old Lady Xu seems to have something on his mind? Chat with Mrs. Xu and untie the knot in the old lady's heart.

Reward: Incense (Light incense for a moment, go around for three days, maybe something good will happen)'

Incense? What's that? A stick of incense?

It's amazing, such a tall name, tsk.

This task reward makes Li Huairen a little curious, will something good happen? Luck-type items? It's a bit of a mystery. But when I think about it, even the crossing and plug-in have appeared, and it seems that the task reward is not a big deal.

Li Huairen walked into the room.

Old lady Xu sat on a chair with a kind smile on her face.

"Don't I'm hallucinating, am I? This old lady looks like she has something on her mind. ”

Li Huairen muttered, but after thinking about it, it was not a loss to ask.

"Bad boy, why don't you go to Erniu, what are you doing here?"

Old lady Xu saw Li Huairen and asked with a smile.

"Hey, don't you want to talk to the old lady. If you want to say that the old lady is also a legend, you are eighty years old, you are still clear-sighted, and you have no problem working in the fields, and you are more capable than some young boys. ”

"Hahaha, what is this, when I was young, I could hoe ten acres of land a day."

"It's you, old lady. If you want to come to the old lady, there must be nothing to worry about. ”

"Annoyance? I can't say it. ”

Old Lady Xu's frowning expression was accurately captured by Li Huairen. His heart was immediately steady, it seemed that Old Lady Xu was really worried, and the text box was not his illusion.

"Old lady, it's not good to hold something on your mind, it's better to say it."

Li Huairen sincerely cared.

Old lady Xu looked at Li Huairen's appearance, and after being silent for a long time, he suddenly sighed.

"That was a long time ago. A long time ago, the people in the village called me Xu Crazy. said that I daydream all day long, and I dream that the immortals are still serious, and they take the root of broken incense as a treasure.

No way, in order to allow myself to live a normal life, I never mentioned that I had ever seen an immortal. But, bad boy, I've actually seen it before. ”

Speaking of this, Old Lady Xu's expression became much more serious.

Li Huairen sighed secretly.

The Xu family is like this, they are too honest.

"Old lady, I believe it. It's not because I believe in the existence of immortals, but because I believe in you, old lady. ”

When Old Lady Xu heard this, she was stunned for a moment, and then smiled with relief.

"You wait."

After speaking, Old Lady Xu left the chair, and then heard the sound of ping-pong bells coming from the inner room.

The voice stopped, and the old lady Xu came out of the inner room, and without saying a word, she took Li Huairen's hand and stuffed a cloth bag into his hand.

"Bad boy, this thing is for you."

"What is this?"

Li Huairen asked knowingly.

"When the immortal gave me a stick of incense, I have kept it very well."

"When the immortal gave you this, he didn't say anything?"

When Old Lady Xu heard this, she scratched her head embarrassedly: "At that time, I was secretly drinking in Monkey Mountain, and I drank a little too much. ”

Li Huairen: "......"

"Okay, bad boy, take this treasure and go back and put it away, and then come back to find Erniu."

Old lady Xu pushed Li Huairen.

"Old lady, don't blame me for being too talkative, why don't you leave it to Uncle Xu or Erniu?"

"It's over with me, I don't want them to go through what I did when I was younger."

"I understand, old lady, I'll go back and put it away."

Li Huairen replied, turned around and slipped away.

It only took a few minutes from Xu's house to his thatched house, and as soon as he got home, Li Huairen lit the incense.

I saw a wisp of green smoke rushing directly into his nostrils, as if someone was holding a 1L bottle of wind oil essence and pouring it into his nostrils.

The hot sensation immediately came out of his nostrils, and every breath felt like he was inhaling flames!

Li Huairen was half-kneeling on the ground, the pain made him unable to move, and cold sweat flowed.

A moment later.

"Hey, why do you still feel a little cool after getting used to it? Am I ......?"

Cold sweat flowed from Li Huairen's forehead, as if he had found something unbelievable.
