Chapter 2: Be at peace with what happens
The Ning family's house is not big, with two bedrooms and one living room. But Nimshaw had a room to himself. The four brothers huddled in a corner of the hall.
At four o'clock in the morning, my mother Ma Xiuyun got up. Dad Ning Zongnan works in a security company and often travels. No, he hasn't been home for a few more days.
Ma Xiuyun opened a snack bar and got up early to make breakfast. There is no way, to feed five children, she has to work hard to make money. Her father, who died young, was a chef with good skills, so her snack bar was still very prosperous, and it was overcrowded in the morning, noon and evening.
It stands to reason that this is the time to raise funds to expand the store so that it can be a good time for development. But there is no way, there are five children to feed at home. The little money I have to spare is used to pay for all kinds of expenses related to raising the children. The eldest is a girl, so you don't have to worry about studying. Of the four boys, only the third child is okay to study. No, it's about to go to high school, and the nine-year compulsory education is coming to an end. There is a good chance that the three boys will have to spend money on high school, which is a lot of money.
Alas, the daughter's legs were also hit. Although it is good, Ma Xiuyun is still not sure. She also discussed with her husband: they didn't touch a penny of the compensation for the car accident, and let their daughter keep it for herself. When the time comes, there is something at home, and I believe that my daughter will take it out to save the emergency.
After the children finish their studies, they have to find a job, and then they get married and start a family. As soon as she thought of this, Ma Xiuyun didn't dare to think about it. No wonder everyone now says that having more children is not a blessing.
After Ma Xiuyun left home, the second person to get up was Ning Boxiao. He made breakfast and woke up his brothers. Then, he knocked lightly on Ning Xiao's door.
"Hmm-" Ning Xiao opened the door slightly, revealing a messy hair.
"Sister, I've got breakfast," Ning Boxiao stood outside the door and didn't enter the room. This is a rule of the parents, and without the consent of the sister, you cannot enter the sister's room at will at any time and place. "You eat a little. When we go to school, you can sleep a little longer! ”
"Good!" Ning Xiao nodded. Then, close the door and change your clothes, and come out again to wash up and have breakfast.
This morning was no different than usual, whether it was in the bathroom or at the dinner table, a few boys from time to time you punched, I kicked, and the mouth was restless for a moment, and the whole house seemed very lively.
In the previous generation of Ning Xiao, China's family planning is being strictly implemented, and the second child has not yet been released. She is the only daughter in the family, and it is difficult to appreciate the fun of having many children in the family. Later, when he crossed over to the world of cultivating immortals, he was even alone. Therefore, in the face of the morning of chickens and dogs, she was full of interest.
Soon, the four younger brothers went to school, and the whole room was quiet.
Ning Xiao returned to the room. She sat with bated breath, silently reciting the mantra she had brought from the Immortal Cultivation Realm, and began to adjust the qi veins on her body. Although the aura here is thin, cultivation cannot be abandoned. Even if it is difficult to become an immortal, self-cultivation is fine.
After some time, she opened her eyes. At this time, the corners of her lips curled slightly. Although there is only a vertex of aura left around him. But for the induction of air into the body, it is still more than enough.
"This is the end of the world, not the immortal cultivation text!" At the same time, the system sent a faint sigh. "What you need to do most now is to store food, not cultivate immortals!"
Ning Xiao immediately knocked on the system and said, "Underbeat!" ”
The system is wailing: "I'm going back to my word."
Ning Xiao ignored the system and got up to go out for a walk.
Walking on the street, looking at the bustling crowd, Ning Xiao felt that everything was like yesterday. Once upon a time, she was part of the rush crowd, living a 9-to-5 life.
In the most difficult days of cultivating immortals, what she can remember the most is this period of life. Because only in this way can she once again warn herself: if she doesn't persevere, it is very likely that even such a day will only become a luxury.
"Xiao Xiao, it's here!"
Just as Ning Xiao was wandering around aimlessly, a call made her stop. When she looked up, she saw her original mother, Ma Xiuyun, standing there with a smile on her face. Look again, it turned out that she unconsciously came to Ma Xiuyun's snack bar.
"Come out and take a walk, come out and walk well!" Ma Xiuyun hurriedly welcomed her daughter into the door. At this moment, it is the time to end early, Chinese food is in preparation, and it is a rare time of the day.
Placing her daughter aside and sitting down, Ma Xiuyun said to her daughter while picking vegetables: "Although your leg is not in serious trouble, you will always have to take a break if you break your muscles and bones." So, I asked your dad to take a year off at your school. Don't think about it, your body matters! ”
"Hmm!" Ning Xiao replied and looked at the snack bar again. It's so small, only a few tables are placed, except for two small workers, Ma Xiuyun is busy inside and out.
Ma Xiuyun left her daughter to eat Chinese food before letting her daughter go.
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law," said a small worker, looking at Ning Xiao's back. "Your daughter is so precious!"
"Of course." Ma Xiuyun smiled brightly. "As the saying goes, if a daughter is pampered, a boy must be brilliant. Compared with my four naughty eggs, my daughter is sensible and the most distressing. ”
……
Although Ning Xiao had walked far away, her five senses, which were different from ordinary people, still allowed her to hear the conversation between Ma Xiuyun and Xiao Gong. It made her chest swell up with the long-lost warmth.
"Little one," she asked, after a moment's thought. "Are the end times really coming?"
"Uh-huh!" The system nodded hurriedly. "The system never lies."
"So," Ning Xiao said lightly. "How long is the end of the world until now?"
"Uh-huh!" The system suddenly stuck. He was so anxious that he kept touching his boxy head. Finally, he said, "One year, or two years!" Or, six months ......"
Anyone would roll their eyes at such an answer.
"Uh-huh!" The system is embarrassed too. "I struggled to pull the original owner back from the last days, and it took a lot of energy. Coupled with the fact that you beat me up a lot, the internal injuries are already serious. ”
Hearing this, Ning Xiao raised his leg and stepped on it: "Then you might as well scrap it directly!" What use do I want from you! ”
"Woo, woo!" Before Ning Xiao's feet could catch up, the system immediately fell to the ground and cried like a shrew. "The master is super violent, and the system can't survive."
……
A hint of fragrance flows in the air. The fragrance is very light and fleeting. But he was still captured by Ning Xiao. She immediately gave up her pursuit of the system and chased after Shunxiang. Soon, she came to a larger pharmacy.
In the most prominent position of the pharmacy, a glass cover is placed. Ning Xiao took a closer look, and there was a ginseng in the glass cover. The ginseng looked like it was more than 100 years old. A fresh fragrance emanates from the ginseng.
Ning Xiao couldn't help but recall the Immortal Cultivation Realm. There, ginseng like this one for more than a hundred years is everywhere. And in the eyes of these bigwigs, this kind of hundred-year-old ginseng is worthless, and the thousand-year-old ones are only looking at it, and they are willing to pay some spirit stones to buy it for ten thousand years.
In this time and space where the aura is thin, the fragrance emitted by this century-old ginseng contains rare spiritual power. To be honest, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed that this little hundred-year-old ginseng actually had a trace of spiritual power. With this hearse, it is a treasure of heaven and earth, which can not be found.
Therefore, Ning Xiao immediately found the shopkeeper: "Boss, is this ginseng for sale?" ”
The owner is an old man with a white beard. He said very gently, "Little girl, I just put this ginseng out!" It's worth a lot of money, no two prices, 120,000 Chinese dollars! ”
"Okay," Ning Xiao didn't hesitate to take out the bank card with the compensation. "I want it!"
The system, which had just wiped away his tears, suddenly burst into tears again: "You violent woman! The money is for food in the last days, not for medicine. You've spent it all, how will you live then? White was reborn like this. ”
"Go," Ning Xiao glanced at him. "At this time, saving your life is more important than buying food!"
