What did you say? Am I a pauper again?

Chapter 314 Returning from Hunting
The surroundings were frozen and covered with white snow.

Jing Yuanzhi did not put the boat away, but placed it on the snow.

She was too lazy to look for a place to stay. This ship had a barrier, so it would be safer to stay inside.

Jing Yuanzhi went to catch two snow rabbits and sat by the boat to roast them.

The scent of rabbits spread, and there were some noises not far away. However, due to the pressure from Jing Yuanzhi, the monsters did not dare to come over.

As long as they don't take the initiative to provoke her, she is too lazy to deal with those monsters.

After eating two roasted rabbits, Jing Yuanzhi felt a little better after filling his stomach.

Folded up the boat and prepared to patrol the area.

The snow here is very thick and it is deep in the mountains, so basically no one comes here.

Jing Yuanzhi flew quickly into the distance, disturbing many monsters that were resting. These monsters were about to get angry, but when they felt the pressure from Jing Yuanzhi, they lowered their heads and buried themselves in the thick snow.

Jing Yuanzhi found it somewhat amusing to look at these cowardly monsters.

Naturally, she had to go to crowded places for her inspection. Taking out the map prepared by the sect, Jing Yuanzhi found the nearest village.

There are about a thousand people, not too many or too few.

Jing Yuanzhi flew into the village. It was noon, but there were not many people outside.

The weather here makes it impossible to grow crops, so the villagers in these places make a living by hunting.

When we entered the village, we met one or two children wearing thick skins of some unknown animal playing in the snow.

There are few outsiders coming to the remote village. The two children saw Jing Yuanzhi and looked at her curiously.

"Are you a fairy?" The younger girl looked at Jing Yuanzhi straight and blinked.

"I'm not." Jing Yuanzhi was amused by the child's innocent and cute question.

"Is this Qianxue Village?" The map said that the village was called Qianxue Village.

The little girl nodded. She really wanted to speak but was pulled behind by the little boy: "Who are you?"

The little boy tried hard to look fierce.

Yes, be a little cautious, Jing Yuanzhi smiled.

"I'm Xuerong. I came here accidentally and came in to take a look. Little guy, are there any adults at home?" Jing Yuanzhi looked at the little boy's vigilant look and took a few steps back, not getting so close to them.

The noise made by Jing Yuanzhi and the two children had already been noticed by the adults.

"Big Bear, Little Flower, what's wrong?" A woman wearing thick leather clothes came out and saw Jing Yuanzhi. She quickly walked over and pulled the two children behind her.

"Hello, I took the wrong road and ended up here. I have no ill intentions. Is this Qianxue Village?" Jing Yuanzhi explained when he saw that the woman was also so alert.

"Wrong way? This is Qianxue Village. Who are you? It takes several days and nights to walk to the nearest village from Qianxue Village. How could a girl like you walk here?" The woman did not let down her guard. Instead, she became more wary of Jing Yuanzhi.

"Sister-in-law, I really mean no harm." Jing Yuanzhi tried hard to lower his posture.

Fortunately, the woman looked at Jing Yuanzhi and thought he was not a bad person, so she nodded reluctantly.

"Come with me. You're just a girl and look really pitiful." The woman walked in front, holding the two children, and Jing Yuanzhi followed behind them.

"Sister-in-law Dagen, who is this person?"

People in other houses heard the noise and came out to check. Jing Yuanzhi looked at these women, all dressed in similar clothes. Looking at the leather they were wearing, although it was very thick, the hair had fallen off in many places.

Most of these women look thin, and there are very few fat ones. It seems that the villagers of Qianxue Village are not having an easy life.

Jing Yuanzhi followed Dagen's wife while observing the people in Qianxue Village.

Most of the people who came out were women and children, and there were very few elderly people. She used her spiritual energy to investigate and found that most of the elderly people stayed at home.

The severe cold weather outside could be fatal to these elderly people, so they basically stay in warm houses.

Jing Yuanzhi observed that the elderly in every household were relatively well-behaved and there was no case of elder abuse.

Sister Dagen brought Jing Yuanzhi to an old house and said, "Girl, your name is Xuerong, right? This is the only empty house in the village. You can live here for the time being."

After saying that, Dagen's wife took out the key and opened the door. There was some dust inside, but the facilities were good.

"Miss Xuerong, please stay here for now. We will send you some herbs and food later. You'd better contact your family as soon as possible. It's dangerous for a girl to be lost outside."

Although Sister Dagen had some doubts about Jing Yuanzhi's background, she did not make things difficult for her because she was a young girl.

"Thank you, sister-in-law."

Dagen's wife waved her hand and said, "No need. You are a girl, and you got lost in a place like this. If you hadn't found our village, who knows what would have happened. You should have a good rest."

After saying that, my sister-in-law left with Daxiong and Xiaohua.

When Daxiong and Xiaohua left, they turned their heads and looked at Jing Yuanzhi curiously.

Jing Yuanzhi walked into the house and took a look inside. Everything was complete and it was obvious that people from the village came to clean it every once in a while.

Jing Yuanzhi directly performed a cleaning spell, and the room immediately became clean.

Qianxue Village was very cold. There were two quilts on the bed and some firewood covered with cobwebs piled in the corner.

When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Jing Yuanzhi made a fire. Although she was protected by spiritual energy and did not feel cold at all, her clothes were not thick to begin with. If she did not make a fire, she would easily arouse suspicion.

Just a short while after I got angry, I heard footsteps outside.

Jing Yuanzhi went over and opened the door, and saw several women coming in with firewood in their arms, and some carrying things in their hands.

Jingyuan took a quick look and saw some food and meat inside.

Meat is their main and most important food.

"Miss Xuerong, these are all collected by the people in the village. There are not many things, so please don't despise them." Sister Dagen went in carrying a bundle of firewood.

They were not well off, so they could only come up with this much.

Jing Yuanzhi quickly thanked them: "Thank you, sisters-in-law. These things are already a lot. Thank you so much. If it weren't for you, I might have frozen to death outside."

Jing Yuanzhi responded gratefully.

Seeing her attitude, the sisters-in-law felt a little better.

These things are their food rations, and they are definitely unwilling to give them to a stranger for no reason.

If this stranger is ungrateful, I will feel even more uncomfortable.

After delivering the things, several sisters-in-law left. It was almost afternoon, and they had to prepare to start cooking.

The men who went out hunting were about to return.
