Chapter 800 - 798 I’ll Help You Cook Together_1
Xia Ningxing sighed, but deep down, she always felt that Mrs. Xia’s death was rather suspicious.
How could it be such a coincidence that she encountered bandits precisely when she went to visit that scumbag?
If there were a chance, she would help investigate the true cause of her and her brother’s mother’s death, considering it repayment for assuming someone else’s identity.
After digesting all this information, the boy had already taken Xia Ningxing’s hand and brought her to a small farmhouse courtyard, "Sister, we’re home!"
Xia Ningxing surveyed the courtyard with her gaze.
The main house had two rooms, built with yellow mud, the roof burdened with thatch and grey-black tiles. The two wooden doors wobbled, making creaking sounds, as if they were about to fall off at any moment.
The courtyard was enclosed with branches and hemp ropes to form a fence, while two or three chickens clucked as they pecked insects off the ground, occasionally running up to Xia Ningxing’s feet in search of food while their rears simultaneously squirted droppings.
The smell of chicken droppings hit her nose, indescribably potent.
Xia Ningxing’s mind felt as clear as if it had been smeared with peppermint oil, and she hardly dared to breathe too deeply.
However, she quickly adapted. She was never a spoiled young lady to begin with, so she wasn’t that delicate.
And, for someone like her who had been thrust into a strange world, having a place to shelter from the wind and rain was already quite good. She had no right to be picky.
