Time passes and the night is already deep in the blink of an eye.
At this moment, Xiang Shang opened his eyes and looked outside the door.
Boom, boom, boom!
There was a knock on the door.
Xiang Shang got out of bed and opened the door directly.
Outside the door was the thin figure of the little girl. She looked at Xiang Shang timidly and said, "Brother, can I come in?"
"Of course." Xiang Shang said with a smile.
Xiang Shang had already noticed her approach before she knocked on the door.
After the little girl came in, she opened the cabinet, then took out a quilt from the cabinet, picked it up with difficulty, and still said: "Thank you, brother."
With that said, he was about to walk out of the room.
"By the way, what's your name?" Xiang Shang said with a smile.
"Tang Ziyan, my name is Tang Ziyan. My parents named me, not bratty girl." She said with a serious look.
"Okay, I remember, Tang Ziyan." Xiang Shang felt a little distressed inexplicably. Apparently he was afraid that Xiang Shang would be like her uncle and aunt, calling her a stinky girl.
Both of her parents died, and Xiang Shang was very touched by her experience.
But he was just a passerby and couldn't help her much.
The next day, Xiang Shang got up early in the morning and saw Tang Ziyan struggling to carry a bucket of water towards the kitchen.
The kitchen here is still a wood-burning kitchen a hundred years ago. Tang Ziyan took water, poured it directly into a large pot, and then lit a fire underneath.
"So early?" Xiang Shang said in surprise. This
Yesterday, the little girl had been working until very late and went to bed. It was only five o'clock now, and she had already gotten up and started working. Thinking of her age, Xiang Shang felt a little pain in his heart.
At her age, she should be the most sleepy, but she had to get up so early to work. As for her uncle and aunt, Xiang Shang only sensed them for a moment and found that they were sleeping soundly...
"Good morning, big brother." She wiped the sweat off her face and responded with a smile.
"Do you get up so early every day?" Xiang Shang asked.
"Of course, if you don't get up, you won't have anything to eat." Tang Ziyan said matter-of-factly.
After saying that, she hurriedly carried a bucket to a well and fetched water with all her strength.
Seeing this, Xiang Shang didn't say anything more. He came to a corner of the yard and started to stand up.
Nowadays, Xiang Shang is practicing martial arts, and there is still quite a lot of movement. The courtyard is relatively small, and secondly, it is not strong, so Xiang Shang directly started to stand.
The Hunyuan Pile Kung Fu improved by Xiang Shang is as stable as a green pine and as upright as a crane. It is very artistic. Just watching, others will be immersed in it involuntarily, and their thoughts will change with Xiang Shang's movements.
Seeing this, Tang Ziyan would look at Xiang Shang from time to time, with a look of envy and yearning on her face.
She knew that this was a skill that only warriors could practice. Her younger brother Xiaozhuang was practicing it, but Xiaozhuang was afraid of being stolen from her and often hid in his room to practice. So this was the first time she had seen others practice it.
Pile work.
Unknowingly, she was immersed in it. Her small body seemed to be changing with Xiang Shang's movements, and the blood in her body began to flow rapidly.
She found that her whole body was a little hot and sweating profusely, as if she had done a big job, but she did not feel tired. Even her body, which was a little tired from getting up early to do things before, felt much more relaxed.
This feeling made her intoxicated.
Just then, her uncle's door opened, and she woke up like a frightened rabbit. She quickly turned around and continued to boil water.
"Smelly girl, are you lazy? Look at what time it is, the water hasn't been boiled yet, and there is no food to eat this morning." Tang Zhiqiang scolded.
"But I didn't eat last night..." Tang Ziyan said aggrievedly, her eyes filled with tears.
She didn't expect it. She thought it was just a while, but who knew that two hours had passed. The water in the pot was ice cold, and even the fire under the pot had long been extinguished.
"I said if there is no food, then there is no food. If you talk too much, I will kick you out." Tang Zhiqiang snorted.
After hearing this, Tang Ziyan's face turned pale, and she suddenly didn't dare to say anything more. She sniffed and started to boil water again with a trembling voice.
Xiang Shang frowned again when he saw this. After thinking about it, he still didn't speak. Instead, he took a bucket of water and took a shower, returned to the room, changed his clothes, and walked out of the residence.
Qingliu Town seems to be quite lively because there are few ferocious beasts raging around, and because of the recent news that the spirit fox has treasures, there are also constant shouts of various snack vendors.
Xiang Shang walked around and returned to his residence ten minutes later.
At this time, Tang Zhiqiang's family had already started to have breakfast. The family of three ate porridge and fried dough sticks with pickles, which was very delicious. Only in the corner, the little girl Tang Ziyan stood there with an aggrieved look on her face, watching them eat.
"Stinky girl, help me fill a bowl." At this moment, Tang Zhiqiang's son, a teenage boy, ordered.
"Oh..." Tang Ziyan responded in a low voice and quickly stepped forward to help him prepare a bowl of porridge.
Looking at the porridge that was gradually bottoming out in the pot, Tang Ziyan swallowed her saliva and summoned up the courage to say: "Uncle, I'm hungry, can you give me something to eat?"
"Eat? What to eat? You can't do anything well and you still want to eat?" Before Tang Zhiqiang could speak, Zhang Qian on the side spoke up and said with a ferocious face: "If you want to eat, you have to work first. Have you seen the wood?
, if you chop it before noon, you can have lunch if you chop it well, if you can’t chop it well, then you can continue to be hungry.”
"Continue to be hungry." Tang Zhiqiang's son gloated at the sidelines.
"You are going too far." Xiang Shang finally spoke, glared at a few people, and then said: "Tang Ziyan, come here, brother, there is food here."
Xiang Shang's current strength is so terrifying. Although he did not use any mental power, just a glare made Tang Zhiqiang's family feel like they had fallen into an ice cave, as if they had experienced endless terror, and they were so frightened that they could not speak.
Tang Zhiqiang's son Xiaozhuang was so frightened that he cried.
"Oh..." Upon hearing this, Tang Ziyan happily agreed and trotted to Xiang Shang's side.
"Baozi, soy milk, let's eat." Xiang Shang said, handing her the breakfast he had already bought.
"Thank you, big brother." Tang Ziyan said in a green voice.
Then, she carefully took the bun from Xiang Shang and started to bite it in small bites.
"Wait until elder brother comes back tonight and I will bring you something delicious." Xiang Shang said with a smile.
"Thank you, brother, I will repay you." Tang Ziyan agreed, and then said seriously.
"Haha, I don't want any repayment from you, you just need to have a happy life." Xiang Shang said with a smile when he heard this.
Seeing Tang Ziyan, Xiang Shang would inexplicably think of himself. His parents also died, he also stayed with relatives at the beginning, and he was also not welcomed.
