Although I have the identity of Niu Shun, I also got some information.
But after all, we are not familiar with most of the situation in Niulan Village, so it is best to talk less, do less, and observe more.
Carrying firewood down the mountain, many villagers saw and greeted them along the way. Jia Zhengjin didn't know their specific identities, so he agreed vaguely and went straight to Niu Shun's home.
When they arrived at Niu Shun's home, they found that it was just a simple thatched house with firewood piled inside and outside, making it a mess.
He didn't care about this. After putting down the firewood, he sat at the door and looked around, finally determining the location of Niu Xi's house.
Niu Xi was obviously not at home, he was probably fooling around with his friends outside.
Niu Bao, who was infected in the house, was lying on the bed coughing constantly and sighing from time to time.
How to get close to Niu Xi and find opportunities to guide him?
After thinking about it, since I am now a woodcutter, I must make good use of this identity.
It doesn't matter if you are not familiar with other people in the village. You can use Nuwa to get information from the real Niu Shun.
Niu Shun is a relatively honest type. I guess if you just feed him a meal, he will cooperate honestly.
"Shunzi, have you finished your work so early today? Don't you usually rest only after the sun sets?" Just as he was thinking about it, a villager passed by and saw him sitting at the door instead of chopping firewood, so he asked curiously.
This villager is about forty years old and a middle-aged woman.
Jia Zhengjin didn't know her. After all, the information was not complete and he didn't know what to call her, so he responded casually: "I have something to do. Let's stop for a while today."
"What's the matter with you? Are you missing someone's older girl?" The middle-aged woman smiled, "Do you want my aunt to help you find a matchmaker? But it's not your aunt's fault. At least buy the house first, otherwise someone else's girl
Are you willing to follow you?"
"I will build a house tomorrow." Jia Zhengjin heard the ridicule in her tone, so he replied.
"Hey! Are you going to build another thatched house to store firewood?"
Jia Zhengjin thought to himself that this woman was too talkative, right? He just rolled his eyes and ignored her.
The middle-aged woman joked a few more words, twisted her butt and disappeared in front of him.
In the end, I still didn’t figure out what this woman’s name was.
Regardless of this, after sitting at the door and thinking for a while, Jia Zhengjin turned around, picked up a bundle of firewood, and walked directly to the door of Niu Xi's house.
"Cough cough cough..." Niu Xi's father in the house kept coughing and seemed to be seriously ill.
Jia Zhengjin asked more clearly about the information about Niu Xi's family. He stretched out his hand and knocked on the door: "Uncle Bao, I am Shunzi."
After a while, the door opened, and the sick Niu Bao stood at the door, his face pale: "What's the matter?"
"It's nothing, I just want to bring you some firewood." Niu Bao is ill and can't go up the mountain, and his son Niu Xi is always running outside and neglecting the family, so he asks Niu Shun to buy the firewood he needs. It's normal to bring firewood to his home.
.
"Oh, thank you!" Niu Bao nodded, "It's better to leave it at the door and I'll get the money for you."
"Okay!" Jia Zhengjin put the firewood on the pile of firewood at their door and turned to look to see if Niu Xi had returned.
After a while, Niu Bao came over with two copper coins, coughed and handed them to Niu Shun: "Here, firewood money."
"Oh!" Jia Zhengjin put it away smoothly, "Uncle Bao, you seem to be getting worse and worse?"
"Hey~" Hearing this, Niu Bao couldn't help but sigh, "It's all an old problem. I've been feeling really uncomfortable lately."
"Why don't you go see a doctor?"
"Forget it! We've been here like this for so many years, why spend the unjust money." Niu Bao held on to the door rail, "Besides, don't you know about my family's situation? I don't have any spare money."
On the contrary, according to what Yue Lang and Niu Shun said, Niu Xi did not live a serious life at all. He followed his friends around everywhere every day.
Niu Bao's health is like this, and he still has to work in the fields frequently, barely making ends meet.
If I didn't have to, I wouldn't even be willing to spend two copper coins to buy firewood.
"Where has Xizi been running around all day and night? I don't know how to take care of Uncle Bao..."
"Hey! That one in my family... I really don't want to talk about it anymore." Niu Bao sighed deeply, "It's all my fault that I didn't teach him well. He has been disobedient since he was a child and likes to fight against me. They say that filial sons are born under the stick, and my family is more and more...
I hate me more and more. Now I don’t expect so much. If only he could be half as sensible as you..."
"What have Xizi been doing these two days?"
"What else can he do? Instead of doing the work in the fields, he runs around all day long." Niu Bao sighed, "Ahem...Shunzi, won't you continue chopping firewood today? This day hasn't happened yet.
It’s black!”
"Oh! I want to take a rest today because I have something to do."
"Have a rest? Are the firewood ready for the Liu family and the old Li family?"
"Big Liu family, old Li family?" Jia Zhengjin was slightly stunned.
"Isn't that right? If you don't get the money, won't you be hungry?" Niu Bao advised, "Go there quickly while it's still dark. Don't do what I did, which makes people worry."
"Oh!" Jia Zhengjin left Niu Xi's house in a daze. In fact, he still hadn't figured out who Da Liu and Lao Li were.
He didn't want to waste time chopping wood, although the system was very simple.
But right now, I have to hide my identity well so that no one can see through it, especially Yue Lang.
If Yue Lang knew that he had transformed into Niu Shun, he would definitely thwart his plan.
It's like if I find out Yue Lang's changing image and know his movements, I will definitely try to stop him.
Anyway, Niu Xi didn't come back. At least he didn't want to be suspected by the villagers on the first day. He had to play the role of Niu Shun well.
So after returning home, I took the hatchet and immediately went to the mountains to work again.
There is a huge difference between having a system and not having one. It is actually very tiring and very slow for real Niu Shun to chop wood.
Jia Zhengjin is very simple. When cutting down, wood and small branches will automatically enter the virtual backpack, and then you can just take them out and tie them up.
Moreover, the virtual backpack is large enough to hold countless pieces of wood and twigs, which can be packed and taken back at once, enough for several days of firewood.
While chopping firewood, he was also thinking about how to act, how to approach Niu Xi naturally, and how to make him change.
It is actually not easy to make a person change in a short period of time unless there are enough incentives.
Inducement...
Profit is the biggest incentive for people.
First, through some kind of benefit, Niu Xi must be temporarily stopped from getting together with his friends, and then be willing to get closer to him, and then he can find a way to understand Niu Xi and change his attitude towards his father Niu Bao.
First of all, it needs to be confirmed whether Niu Xi really has no filial piety towards his father, or whether it is because the relationship between father and son is too rigid, leading to a rebellious mentality.
Only after a detailed understanding can we launch plans based on the current situation to improve the relationship between their father and son, and even make Niu Xi's prodigal son turn around and become a responsible and filial son.
The first step is to make Niu Xi temporarily stop associating with those foxy friends. How to do this? (To be continued)
