The cold wind was raging, and the cobwebs between the ruined walls were swaying in the wind. The rubble and rubble were scattered everywhere, and the damp, moldy smell and pungent smell were intertwined in the air.

In the cold and damp corner, there was a little girl huddled there.

Wen Jiu was wrapped in a worn velvet blanket and shivering constantly. Behind him was a half-collapsed brick wall, and rats and snakes were occasionally scurrying not far away.

Although there wasn't too much cold wind in this location, she was still so cold that her mouth was black and her face was pale.

But Wen Jiu still persisted, staring firmly at the large garbage dump in front of him.

However, the temperature was still dropping, so she could only hug her legs tightly and hide herself in the old velvet blanket as much as possible.

It was too cold. She had never experienced such a cold windy day.

Half a month ago, Wen Jiu was still a modern cultivator. Although he lived in the mountains and forests and practiced with his master, at least he had no worries about food and drink.

But she never expected that when she woke up, she would become a twelve-year-old orphan living in the interstellar age and making a living by picking up garbage.

And none of the cultivation methods she has learned can be used here.

God knows how she felt when she woke up and found herself in a dirty and messy environment.

The cultivator Wen Jiu became an orphan Wen Jiu, and at the same time inherited the memory of the original owner.

The original owner grew up like a mouse in this environment. He went to the garbage dump every day to find some food, and he also tried to find ways to grab some scraps of metal from adults and sell them for money. In short, he just tried his best to survive.

.

Unfortunately, the original owner lost her life to a sudden illness because she was too poor.

Wen Jiu has always been very receptive. After all, she once witnessed her senior sister flying into the sky by kicking her left foot with her right foot. It only took one night to digest her emotions, and she continued to dig through the trash the next day.

There is no way, if you don't pick up garbage, you will starve to death.

She spent the past half month like this, but over time, Wen Jiu gained experience in picking up rubbish.

Although you have the highest probability of picking up nutrient solution and discarded food in a small garbage dump like that, the adults wandering around are watching eagerly and they may be robbed at any time.

As for this kind of large garbage dump, even if there are many adults squatting around picking up scraps of copper and iron to sell for money, the area is too big, and children like her can still pick some up with their dexterity.

However, it is impossible to snatch good things from adults. Even if you pick them up, you will be snatched away and even beaten. When Wen Jiu can't even afford medicine, he is very likely to die from a beating.

.

So Wen Jiu came to this large garbage dump not to risk her life to grab valuable things. She mainly came to pick up some food to eat. After all, people have to fill their stomachs to survive.

Until a bright light shot down from the dark night sky, the huge garbage speeding car stopped in mid-air and made a roar. Wen Jiu immediately grabbed the big bag beside him and found a good position to wait for the opportunity.

Boom boom boom boom.

The garbage on the garbage truck had been dumped. As the light disappeared and the speeder drove away, Wen Jiu rushed into the garbage dump like an arrow.

There were many people around like her, rushing towards the garbage dump crazily.

Wen Jiu endured the pungent smell of nausea and worked hard to rummage through the garbage, while also trying to avoid being discovered by adults who looked like jackals, tigers and leopards.

Robbery is common in such an environment.

The location she was in was one she had visited many times before. Because it was some distance away from the center of the garbage mountain, few people came here to rummage first. People usually came here after rummaging through other places.

Wen Jiu carefully rummaged through the garbage with her dirt-covered hands, but she was actually so hungry that her legs were shaking and she was dizzy, and she was holding on with just one breath.

Fortunately, her luck was not too bad. She found a broken test tube under a rag doll, with a light layer of blue liquid at the root. Wen Jiu picked it up and smelled it, and after confirming that it was nutrient solution, she quickly poured it out.

In the entrance.

It has no taste, just like plain water.

When there was no more drop of nutrient solution inside the test tube, she reluctantly threw it away.

The dizzy feeling of being hungry for a long time finally eased.

After she regained consciousness, Wen Jiu continued to rummage through it. She didn't know if it was because she was really lucky today, but she found several boxes of unopened meat slices.

Wen Jiu quickly checked the shelf life on it, and it happened to expire the day after tomorrow. If she picked it up today, she could still eat it for two days. So she immediately stuffed the boxes of meat slices into her pockets, and then went back to the trash.

Before she could rummage for long, she suddenly heard a rush of footsteps from the left. Wen Jiu alertly dragged his pockets and found an oil can nearby to hide in.

Not long after she hid inside, she heard the voices of two men cursing outside.

"Didn't you say that there is a child here every day? Where is the person?"

"I saw it a few days ago. Who knows why I'm not here today?"

"Then you are screaming! Did I come here with you to grab air? You can't even see a person, you loser!"

"You need to hurry up! Look for her again! She may have changed places."

Hearing the sound, Wen Jiu huddled in the oil tank and remained motionless. At the same time, he slowed down his breathing and tried hard to hide his movements.

The world is really sinister, even a poor person like her who can't afford half a star coin in her pocket still wants to rob her.

"Tsk, I'm afraid he froze to death somewhere. It's up to you to find it yourself, I'm going to find someone else."

"Gr, you go away, I will find it myself."

After saying that, the footsteps of the other person gradually moved away. But the person left behind was still wandering around, making rough rummaging sounds from time to time.

Wen Jiu pricked up his ears and waited patiently. She was too young now, and it was too difficult to fight with adults. Naturally, she wanted to hide away if she could.

However, things did not develop in the direction she expected. The man had not given up searching for a while, and the unbearable yelling and cursing never stopped.

Wen Jiu also cursed in his heart. This person's refusal to leave was really delaying her time to pick up garbage. Moreover, she was huddled in the oil tank, and the biting cold almost made her freeze.

After a while, the yelling and rummaging finally disappeared.

Wen Jiu waited for a while, and then carefully opened the lid after confirming that the people outside had indeed left.

But the moment she opened the lid of the bucket, a pair of rough hands suddenly reached in, grabbed her hair like withered grass, and lifted her up like a carrot.

"My God, the little bastard is hiding here."

The pain of her hair pulling on her scalp made Wen Jiu almost crazy. She kept struggling in the air, but lifting her adult man was as easy as lifting a rabbit, and she couldn't break free at all.

The burly man with several scars on his face looked at her for a moment, then smiled and said, "She is still a woman. It seems that she can be sold for a lot of money."

However, Wen Jiu didn't give up his struggle yet, and tried his best to grab Chen Gang's hand upwards with his long pointed nails, causing pain to the ground.

"I'm kidding you." Chen Gang suddenly threw Wen Jiu to the ground. When he saw that his hands were covered with red marks, he became so angry that he wanted to punch Wen Jiu on the ground.

But Wen Jiu didn't give him this chance. Although she was thrown to the ground in great pain, she still had to escape. Before the fist fell, Wen Jiu gritted her teeth and turned over, then immediately got up and ran away in the distance.
