Thrown Into the Wolf’s Den! Zaizai Holds Space In His Hands To Survive the Disaster Year

 Brother and sister?

Xu Jingxi and Shen Ningning looked at each other.

 Do they look alike?

"Thank you, uncle shopkeeper," Shen Ningning stood up and wiped her chubby little face with the back of her hand: "We are not picking up rags, but our clothes have just been stained, so we won't go in to drink tea."

 The shopkeeper turned around and looked at the little guy, wanting to soften his heart even more.

This little person is very cute and plump.

He has a small, fair face with black dust on his nose and cheeks.

Even though he was wearing better clothes, he looked dusty.

The shopkeeper sighed: "How pitiful. Just wait here and I'll give you something."

He walked back to the shop, and after a while, he came out quickly, holding two large deerskin furs in his hands.

 “This was originally for my brother’s personal use.”

"But a while ago, he followed the trend and bought a lot of cold-proof equipment. He changed it to bearskin, so this is no longer needed. You can take it away."

Shen Ningning blinked her big eyes with joy on her face.

 She was about to reach out her little hand and take it.

 Xu Jingxi, however, pulled her behind him like an elder brother.

His voice was calm: "How much silver do you want?"

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "No money, I'll give it to you."

“The world is just getting better. I don’t know if you two have any family members.”

"But this deerskin is enough for you to survive the winter. As the brother, you have to protect your sister. She is so young and cannot bear the cold."

 Shen Ningning poked her little head out from behind Xu Jingxi.

She smiled sweetly at the shopkeeper: "Thank you, uncle shopkeeper."

“Oh, you are so good, come on, take it quickly.” The shopkeeper put the two deer skins into the grass basket.

 Xu Jingxi was only willing to accept the money after confirming that he did not need the money.

The two of them returned home with a full load, but unfortunately, Shen Ningning couldn't carry her straw basket.

Hence, Xu Jingxi took the initiative to put all the things at his place and let him carry them on his back.

On the way back to the university in China, he looked unhappy.

 “Classmate Xu, why don’t you smile?”

 “What are you laughing at?”

“We picked up two deer skins for nothing, isn’t that good?”

 Looking at Shen Ningning's round and innocent eyes.

Xu Jingxi pursed her lips before saying, "There is nothing free in my life."

“Even if it’s free now, there may be a huge price hidden behind it, so I’m worried about traps.”

 Shen Ningning was surprised.

"Two deerskins, there shouldn't be any traps, right? The shopkeeper looks very good."

 Xu Jingxi said nothing.

 The little guy looked at his clear-cut profile and was a little puzzled.

Of course Xu Jingxi also knew that she would not understand.

 In his life, he has encountered kindness disguised as skin.

When the skin was opened and those people revealed their true intentions, they discovered that the word evil had already been hung over his head like a knife.

 That's why he is so vigilant.

Xu Jingxi does not believe that there is a free lunch in the world.

 Perhaps because he didn't look good, Shen Ningning changed the subject.

"Well, that's right. Everyone says what I said is a rumor. Why do you want to believe it and come out with me to pick up clothes?"

 “Because I need it.” Xu Jingxi did not deny it.

His voice was covered with frost: "Even if there is no snow disaster, whenever it snows, my house will be crushed once every year."

 Because the place where he lives is really simple.

“My grandparents are old. With these cotton-padded clothes and quilts, even if the heavy snow collapses the house, they won’t be able to freeze for the time being.”

 “I will repair the roof as soon as possible.”

Hearing this, Shen Ningning's eyes widened.

 The little guy felt that the life he had lived before was hard enough.

Unexpectedly, Xu Jingxi worked harder than her.

Shen Ningning thought for a moment and raised her dark, watery eyes. "It doesn't matter. I have a lot of houses. If you can't hold on anymore, come to Xiangyun Village to find me."

 Xu Jingxi did not answer.

 He relies on himself in everything and never expects to rely on others.

 Of course he didn't take Shen Ningning's words to heart.

At this time, Master Han’s shouts came from a distance—

"Hello~" Master Han pressed the hood on his head and ran over in a hurry: "Are there any leftover things you picked up? I want two of them too."

Shen Ningning chuckled and looked at the panting Master Han.

 “Master, you have to pick it up no matter what!”

"Don't give it up for free. You said this. No one else believes you. Master must be on your side. No matter what, I have to take two pieces back."

Confucius Han said as he picked through the straw basket on Xu Jingxi's back.

"Okay, I'll take this one." He took away a cotton coat.

Looking at the gray faces of Shen Ningning and Xu Jingxi, he couldn't help laughing.

“Come on, master, I’ll treat you two to some hot wontons.”

Xu Jingxi said calmly: "I won't go. I'll wait..."

Before he could finish his words, Shen Ningning and Master Han grabbed his sleeves from left to right.

 “Let’s go! It’s too late to have a bowl.” The little guy said Nunuo.

　　Han Master also said: "That's right, why are you being polite to me?"

 After half a stick of incense, the teacher and students sat at a small table by the roadside, with a bowl of fragrant wontons in front of each of them.

 Shen Ningning ate happily.

Xu Jingxi didn’t move the spoon for a long time.

 He always feels bad when he takes other people's things for free.

Master Han saw what he was thinking and said, "Jingxi, on the morning of New Year's Eve, you come to my house to do a favor."

Xu Jingxi agreed without thinking: "Okay."

This is why he is willing to move the spoon.

The incident of Shen Ningning and Xu Jingxi going to the streets to "pick up rags" soon became a laughing stock in the Chinese Academy of Chinese Studies by Ye Changyi.

No one dared to tease Shen Ningning in person, but they couldn't help but taunt Xu Jingxi.

Mr. Han came to Xu Jingxi's rescue several times, but found that he had an extremely calm temperament.

　　He would not even raise an eyebrow when others provoked him to the extreme.

 Nothing seemed to make him angry.

 However, this situation did not last long.

Soon, the prince Mo Lingwei in the palace heard about this and issued an edict.

He ordered everyone to sell him unsold cotton clothes, quilts and various cold-proof props.

 Zi Chen Palace accepts everything according to the order, and the price is still the normal market price.

Mo Lingwei even said boldly: "I don't care what the Imperial Master says. I only believe what Shen Ningning says."

With this, everyone immediately understood that the prince would not hesitate to spend a lot of money to support Princess Funing.

Mo Lingwei donated all the things he bought to Shen Ningning.

Not only that, the Xie family quietly built two spacious granaries.

 Used to store purchased firewood.

 Xie Suzhi kept everything Shen Ningning wanted in mind.

 Early on New Year’s Eve.

Shen Ningning wore a cheerful brocade red cotton jacket and carried a bag of New Year's candy, and went to the village with the Black Wolf King.

　　Firecrackers have been set off for several rounds. The New Year is approaching, and everyone in the villagers is filled with joy.

 “Happy New Year, uncles and aunts!” Along the way, the little guy saw many acquaintances.

 She generously grabbed a handful of New Year candies and handed them over.

It happened that Chen Ye came back and greeted: "Miss, I just went to see you. Uncle Zhong and Aunt Yun have already greeted everyone to celebrate the New Year together, so you don't have to worry."

“He also said that he would come to the village to pay New Year’s greetings to the young lady after the second day of the Lunar New Year.”

Shen Ningning nodded in agreement. At this moment, the sound of a carriage was heard at the entrance of the village.

The villagers looked back and said with a smile: "Ning Ning, look who's back!"
