secretly complained about the couple and the man in his heart, and Xue Langjing planned to go out to forage for food.

When I went out, it was pitch black outside, and in the whole village, there were only three or four dim lights.

The old woman's family was asleep, and she could not get up to cook for herself, so she had to go to find someone who had not yet fallen asleep.

Thanks to her ability, she can see in the dark, otherwise, in this strange village, there is so much light, she can't even find the way.

After confirming the location of these households, Xue Langjing chose the nearest house to go.

"Knock knock."

There was a knock on the door.

After a while, a man's vigilant inquiry sounded in the courtyard, "Who, this is the middle of the night to knock on the door." ”

"It's me, a passer-by who temporarily lives at Granny Liu's house."

"Then what are you knocking on our door for?" At this time, the man's voice was more vigilant.

"I'm a little tired during the day, I accidentally fell asleep after lunch, I just woke up, missed dinner time, thinking that it's the middle of the night, Granny Liu has also rested, it's not good to tell her to get up and cook, see that your lights are on, I want to buy a meal, rest assured, the money will not be less for you."

The man inside replied, "Wait a minute, my cooks are asleep, I have to ask them if they want to get up and cook." ”

"Okay, thanks."

Xue Langjing thanked her, and thought to herself, this family is really vigilant, and they are all awake.

I only heard the family inside discussing in a whisper.

"Dad, mother, let's just let her in, it's good to earn a few pennies", this was the man's voice.

Then, an old man's voice sounded, "Son, the heart of guarding against people is indispensable, an outsider, who came to knock on the door in the middle of the night to ask for food, is very weird, what if it is sent by some bandit to explore the way?" ”

"That's it, I can't tell, at this time, those bandits are waiting behind her for us to open the door, and then, rob our things, rob your daughter-in-law."

"We haven't been to bandits in years, Daddy, are you too worried?"

That was to say, but the man still put his ear to the door and listened to the movement outside.

I listened for a while, but I didn't hear anything.

"There are no footsteps! I saw the dress of this girl when she came, and at first glance she was a martial artist, how could an ordinary woman be a martial artist, she must be a capable person, and a capable person will be a pathfinder? ”

"Xianggong, let's be cautious, how much copper plate can we earn by cooking, or we don't want this money, for such a little money, put yourself in danger, it's not worth it."

"What do you know about a woman, how hard it is to earn money these days! This is the ability of the person, there is money, let's ask for more, maybe a day's wages can be earned, why not give money for nothing? ”

"Son, if that's not the case, let's tell her the price first, and then you can move the stool to the wall, and take a look, if she's the only one outside, let's let her in, what's the matter?" An old woman's voice rang out, apparently also touched by her son's words

"Wonderful, mother's idea is good, if there are really bandits, let's just open the door", if it weren't for the man still standing outside, the man couldn't help but clap his hands and praise.

Then he said, "Dad, what do you think?" ”

After a while, the old man nodded, "Cheng, just do as you say." ”

"Okay."

After discussing, the man shouted outside, "This girl, my mother and mother-in-law are asleep, this is the middle of the night, it is inconvenient to get up at night, and the weather is also cold, if you want to get up to cook, it is quite a crime, we can't burn it for you in vain, the money for grain is calculated separately, how about borrowing pots, firewood, water, oil lamps, and labor costs, and charging you thirty yuan?" ”

The man was still a little nervous when he spoke, and thought that if the other party felt that the price was high, it could still be discussed.

But fortunately, the woman was very cheerful and replied to him directly, "Okay, no problem." "Girls

Under the reminder of the old lady, the man added another clause, "Then, can the girl pay first?" ”

"Yes."

"Okay, I'll open the door for the girl now."

After speaking, the man reminded his mother and daughter-in-law, "Mother, you two go back to the room first, pretend to have just gotten up, and I'll open the door for her." ”

The two women hurried back to their rooms.

The man walked out with a stool in one hand and a kitchen knife in the other.

The old man took the oil lamp and illuminated him to the courtyard.

The man carefully placed the stool at the foot of the wall, holding a knife in his hand, and climbed onto the stool to look out of the wall.

Then I saw a woman in thin clothes standing alone.

Although he knew that the other party was a capable person, looking at such a 'poor' woman, the compassion in the man's heart gradually rose, and he immediately recruited her, "Wait a minute, girl, I'll open the door for you right away." ”

After that, he quickly got off the stool and went to open the courtyard door for her.

When people came in, he immediately plugged in the door bolt and greeted him warmly, "It's strange that it's a cold day, and the girl hurried to the house to warm up." ”

"Thank you for this big brother", anyway, he paid the money, and this person seemed to be quite enthusiastic, Xue Langjing didn't twist, arched his hand at him, and followed in.

The man also followed her example and hugged his fists, "You're polite, you're polite." ”

When Xue Langjing entered the room, the two women would come out of the room, as if they had just woken up.

When she was hungry, Xue Langjing was not picky, so let them come as quickly as possible.

At the same time, he was very happy to give the food money and thirty literary wages first.

She eats a lot, and they collect a lot of money, so the family is not stingy, she can eat as much as she wants.

Although the first priority is to fill her stomach, but to fill her stomach, what Xue Langjing has to think about is how to absorb energy.

However, how much energy can you have with just some pasta and a few greens?

If you want energy, you can only eat more.

By the way, they mixed some lard and oil residue.

These two things are already the most valuable and energy-rich foods in their homes.

Xue Langjing ate more than a dozen servings for this meal, and it was incredible to see that the family had grown up with mouths.

I knew that those who could eat it, but I didn't expect it to be able to eat so much, and I also ate so much of their precious lard and dregs, plus the thirty literary wages, a total of fifty yuan, which is simply terrifying.

After a full meal, unable to withstand the enthusiasm of the family, Xue Langjing talked to them for a while, and then sighed for a while before going back.

Early the next morning, after breakfast, Xue Langjing left the village and continued to move forward.

In the next few days, she had planned to leave early, but by chance, she encountered a job in the city to recruit temporary guards.

The mission lasted six days, and although it took a detour, it was worth the two-day journey on her way forward.

After getting the salary for these six days, she will be able to travel all the way in the next period of time, so calculated, it is quite cost-effective, and she simply took over this task.

What Xue Langjing didn't know was that during her mission, something happened elsewhere that was related to her.
