Simulated Cultivation of Immortals: The beginning of the game is full of comprehension

"Did you also come here after your mother died?"

The girl held the bowl, her mouth was shiny, and she looked at Li Xiang with bright eyes.

"Forehead……"

Hearing this question, Li Xiang was obviously stunned for a while, his eyes widened, and he looked at the girl in surprise. It seemed hard to imagine that he would face such an outrageous question.

After a long silence, he slowly spoke.

"My mother is still alive, and she is also helping with the cooking here. I am here to play with my father today."

After her words fell, she seemed to finally realize that her question was a bit offensive, and the girl apologized repeatedly.

"I'm sorry, I was presumptuous."

"It's okay, it's okay."

After asking this question, she sat there awkwardly, holding a bowl and eating alone. She occasionally glanced at Li Xiang, but she didn't know how to speak.

Her dark little face looked slightly red, as if she was very embarrassed by the offense just now, and her heart was beating fast.

In order to ease the atmosphere, the girl took a deep breath and spoke slowly.

"My name is Ping, Duckweed's Ping, what's yours?"

"ah."

"My name is Li Xiang."

silence.

The topic became awkward again.

Li Xiang took two mouthfuls of food and was about to finish eating and run away.

He also made an appointment with Lu Ban. If he didn't plan to continue here, it would be a waste of time.

As for the little girl's offense.

He didn't care about these poor children.

Although Ping asked a bit presumptuously, it was also true.

There was a beast disaster outside the city, and there was a demonic attack inside the city. Many people died, and many children became orphans or lost their relatives.

Many children here are fed by hundreds of families, and are taken care of by the women who help cook in the kitchen.

The girl held the bowl and scooped out the porridge one spoon at a time, her movements unnatural.

It seems that he is still embarrassed by the question just now.

Li Xiang smiled and put down the empty wooden bowl.

"It doesn't matter, don't take it to heart."

"Thank you and Yun Niang, this is the best porridge I have ever eaten."

Li Xiang comforted Ping. He still had a good impression of this little girl.

Although he is not old, he has a kind of perseverance in his eyes, and Yun Niang is taking care of these children here. He is a very good little guy.

"By the way, I suddenly became curious."

"Is your name just Ping? Don't you have a last name?"

When asked this question, Ping shivered unnaturally.

"There used to be."

"My father died early, and my mother said that she would give me to a wealthy family in the city as a maid. My mother said that she would take my master's family name when the time comes, and she would not let me call her by my own name."

Ping said a little unhappy.

"But it doesn't matter now. My mother said that after the house in the south of the city is built, if I can make a living here and have enough to eat, I won't have to be a maid."

"My mother said that life will always get better, and maybe we can have a small house of our own by then."

"Huh? Why don't you speak?"

Li Xiang was startled for a moment.

"Being a maid?"

"Yes, the village is too poor, and there are no men in our family. It is already difficult for my mother to support me."

"Being a maid, I can give my mother a sum of money. She is not in good health, so it won't be so difficult in the future. Every winter, my mother weaves at home, and her hands turn red from the cold. I feel bad for her."

"I have been working as a maid for twenty years. If they provide me with enough food, my mother and I can both have food."

Li Xiang was speechless.

Looking at the dark and thin little girl in front of him, this little guy about ten years old, his expression was very complicated.

He had only seen this kind of thing in novels before giving his daughter to someone as a maid.

The first time I came across this kind of thing, I suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

"Ping, is it duckweed's Ping..."

"Yes! It's that Ping!"

"It's green and green. In the summer, the pool is connected into one area, which is really beautiful."

Ping took up what Li Xiang said and said happily.

She seemed to have found a topic to chat with Li Xiang, and wanted to talk more to dispel the embarrassment just now.

"My family is from Guyang Village, just over the Xiegong Valley. In the summer, there are many fruit trees in the Xieguan Valley. The flowers are blooming all over the mountain, which is very beautiful. The reflection in the pond below is very beautiful."

"What about you? Which village is your family from?"

"From Shihe Village."

"Ah, I know. There is a Qinghetan next to Shihe Village. There are many flowers blooming next to it. When the flowers bloom in summer, there are also butterflies."

"I went to your village when I was buying medicine for my mother."

Ping is thin and has a dark face, but she looks energetic.

He looks much smarter than his peers.

She was holding a wooden bowl and talking to Li Xiang about many things.

It seems that she likes this new friend very much.

"Sister Ping! Can you give me some more food? I'm not full!"

Just when Ping was about to continue chatting, a few kids next to her suddenly started shouting.

"I'm coming!"

Ping Xiao ran over, picked up the wooden bowl, and went to ask Yun Niang for something to eat.

Li Xiang squatted next to him, looking at the children in the kitchen with the help of firelight and candlelight, his expression changed slightly.

"They are all children who are suffering."

Just sigh casually.

Li Xiang shook his head, put down the wooden bowl in his hand, and slipped away quietly under the night.

He and Lu Ban also made an agreement to see these children again in the future.

As for the third child.

Before the third child came to pick him up, the third child was already the little person in charge here. He was very busy. He could just finish handling Luban's affairs later and come back then.

Pushing open the kitchen door, Li Xiang walked out.

Looking at the busy construction site in front of him, Li Xiang suddenly felt that the night wind was a bit cold.

New construction equipment was erected in the construction site, which greatly accelerated the progress of the construction site. Sometimes you can even see some light streaking across the sky. They are some monks from the county who are helping to build the residential area in the south of the city.

This is a world that should be unique, but its essence is still a very cruel world.

The vast majority of people are actually not living a satisfactory life.

Ping's experience made him feel a little uncomfortable.

If there are no men in your family, your mother may send you to a wealthy family to be a servant and beg for food.

For ordinary people, the world is actually not that friendly.

Fortunately, there is still hope.

After the construction in the south of the city is completed, these victims will have a good resettlement.

Speaking of which, the houses here were originally planned to be simple small houses for disaster victims, but due to the intervention of the Mo family, they were improved a lot.

After it is completed, it will be almost the same as the one in the north of the city.

"Hundred families."

Thinking of this, Li Xiang suddenly thought of Bian Que whom he saw today.

I heard from him that he opened a free thatched cottage here to provide medical treatment to the poor.

"The newly separated schools of Confucianism and Taoism seem to be more people-oriented."

"interesting."

"I'm getting more and more curious."

Li Xiang was walking on the street at night.

Not long after, a small wine flag came into view.

This is a tavern in the west of the city, where Lu Ban and Bian Que made an appointment to have a drink.
