Chapter 7 Curiosity, Gift
When he reached his hand into the trash can, Ying Yuanxing was still a little nervous. After all, in the game, rummaging through the trash can only requires a click of the mouse, but in reality, you really have to rummage through it with your own hands.
But when it really came to it, Ying Yuanxing didn't hesitate and was ready to take a good look at what was in the trash can. Maybe he could pick up some recyclable trash.
This sight made Ying Yuanxing stunned. The bottom of the trash can was empty, there was nothing in it, but he clearly felt something with his hand, and could even feel the shape and hardness of the object.
The live camera did not capture the scene inside the trash can. In the eyes of the audience, Ying Yuanxing put his hand into the trash can and kept groping around inside.
Yuan Xiu knew that although there were trash cans next to every house in the village, there was basically nothing in them because these trash cans were living things themselves, and any garbage thrown into them would be eaten by them.
They are not picky about food at all. No matter whether it is dead or alive, or even part of the body, once it enters the trash can, it is difficult for them to escape.
Ying Yuanxing's hand had already entered the trash can, but there was no movement in the trash can, which was a bit strange.
Could it be that he thinks Ying Yuanxing tastes bad?
Yuan Xiu looked at Ying Yuanxing thoughtfully. Even though he had just been shocked by Ying Yuanxing's action of rummaging through the trash can, his stubborn curiosity surged in his heart again, and he couldn't help but become curious again.
Combined with what Ying Yuanxing asked him just now, the other party wanted to find food from the trash can. What would he do if he couldn’t find it?
Should I go find the village chief, or ask him for help?
After all, in the entire village, he and Ying Yuanxing are the only ones who are most familiar with each other!
Thinking that Ying Yuanxing might come to see him, Yuan Xiu's teeth started itching and he suddenly wanted to take a bite of Ying Yuanxing. He didn't want to eat too much, just a small bite.
Yuan Xiu's appetite surged, and his honey-colored eyes deepened in color, revealing a faint golden hue, yet they carried a sense of ferocity out of nowhere. However, this appetite instantly subsided a little when he saw Ying Yuanxing.
In order to empty the trash can, Ying Yuanxing got very close to it. Even though he knew that the trash can would swallow up all the trash and was not dirty at all, Yuan Xiu still felt a little disgusted when he saw this scene. It was like a piece of sweet cake being placed on the trash can. Even if the cake was not dirty, most people would not want to eat it for a while.
Ying Yuanxing touched it carefully for a while and found that the thing in his hand was a bit like wood, hard and rough to the touch, but he remembered that he couldn't find wood in the game.
Regardless, the game has become a reality, so it’s normal for there to be changes.
Ying Yuanxing grabbed the wood and pulled it out. It felt like he was dragging something out of a swamp, but fortunately, he still had some strength. After a stalemate between the two sides for a while, he finally won and the wood was pulled out by him.
However, he lost the force at the other end, and Ying Yuanxing used too much force, and the thing was pulled out of the trash can, escaped from Ying Yuanxing's control, and flew backwards.
Ying Yuanxing quickly chased after it. Although it was just a quick glimpse, he could tell that this did not seem to be the wood he had imagined.
Ying Yuanxing chased two steps and the thing fell into a hand. It was indeed not wood, but a stick of brown bread.
Ying Yuanxing was surprised to find that what he had turned out was food, and at the same time he was a little relieved. Fortunately, the bread was caught by someone, otherwise if it fell on the ground, he would not know how to clean it up.
But this hand looks familiar.
Ying Yuan looked up along his arm and saw a familiar handsome face. The words of thanks got stuck in his throat and he couldn't utter them for a long time.
Why is Yuan Xiu here? !
Ying Yuanxing looked stiffly towards the place where he was just now, and found that this place could clearly see his original position, so his previous action was also seen by Yuan Xiu... right
How should he argue?
Yuan Xiu looked at the bread in his hand and fell into deep thought. He thought he had overestimated Ying Yuanxing, but it seemed that he still underestimated him.
The trash can was strange in that things only went in but never came out. Yet Ying Yuanxing was able to find bread in it. Even he couldn't do such a search.
Ying Yuanxing found it strange that Yuan Xiu looked at him with a look of amazement, not disgust as he had imagined.
Could it be that Yuan Xiu loves environmental protection very much and doesn't like people to waste things, so when he sees him rummaging through the trash can to recycle food, he actually admires it.
Ying Yuanxing quickly called up the favorability panel and took a look. Since he had just met Yuan Xiu and the village chief in the village, only two of the gray avatars were lit up, and Yuan Xiu's favorability was already half full.
Although one red heart was pitifully small compared to the remaining nine gray hearts, if he remembered correctly, this half heart was not even full in the morning.
Ah, this, Ying Yuanxing was a little conflicted, not knowing whether he should look through the trash can in front of Yuan Xiu again. If it really could increase...
Although there are no obvious benefits to increasing favorability for the time being, which gamer can resist such temptation?
The most important thing is that Ying Yuanxing really wants to look through the other trash cans. After all, he has already looked through one, so he might as well look through the rest to see what resources he can get. Thinking about the daily necessities in the wooden house, Ying Yuanxing feels that any savings are good.
"Yuan Xiu, do you know where the other trash cans are?" After making the decision, Ying Yuanxing did not waste time and went straight to Yuan Xiu to ask for a shortcut.
After all, he was not familiar with the village, and he would definitely take a detour if he went around the map by himself. It would be better for him to ask Yuan Xiu for help. With the time saved, he could quickly go back to the farm to cut grass and harvest seeds.
When Yuan Xiu heard Ying Yuanxing's words, four words flashed through his mind: pluck feathers from a passing goose.
"You..." Yuan Xiu hesitated. He wanted to ask, but Ying Yuanxing had given him too many surprises, and he was afraid that he had guessed wrong.
But this time he was not wrong. Ying Yuanxing nodded and said, "I want to take a look and see if there is anything good."
The tone was so righteous that Yuan Xiu didn't know how to respond. The "people" he had met before were never like this. They were not completely unreasonable, but Yuan Xiu couldn't say that they were reasonable.
In silence, Yuan Xiu took Ying Yuanxing for a walk around the village, and then watched Ying Yuanxing rummaging through the trash cans. Although most of the trash cans yielded nothing, there were a few that Ying Yuanxing actually found something, including a small can of drink, a piece of coal, and an orange-yellow crystal.
Yuan Xiu wanted to figure out how Ying Yuanxing stole the things from the strange trash can, but the more he watched, the more confused he became.
Ying Yuanxing seemed to just reach in and flip through it. There was no strange aura, but how could he not know what was in the trash can? There was definitely nothing...
Yuan Xiu thought about it and suddenly hesitated. He only knew the strange habits of the trash can, but was all the garbage in the trash can really swallowed up?
Ying Yuanxing was quite satisfied with his harvest. Although it wasn't much, it was enough. He could rummage through the trash cans every day anyway. The only problem was that he had to walk all over the village, which wasted too much time.
By the way, can he move all these trash cans to the farm? After all, he only needs to rummage through the trash cans and doesn't need to let the villagers throw garbage in.
After rummaging through all the trash cans in the village, Ying Yuanxing also got to know a little bit about his own abilities. The trash can he rummaged through should be a conceptual trash can, which just borrowed the appearance of the villagers' trash can. So is it feasible to move the trash can back to the farm?
He wouldn't mind being a trash can robber if it were possible.
Both the man and the weird one were thinking about their own problems. Although their standing positions were not very good, the scene was still quite beautiful, especially when Yuan Xiu turned his head to look at Ying Yuanxing. To outsiders who were not in the know, the atmosphere between the two was very good.
Inside the house, he looked at Yuan Xiu who was blocking the door strangely, hugged himself tightly, and dared not move. At the same time, he subconsciously labeled Ying Yuanxing as someone who was not easy to mess with.
In the weird world, weak monsters dare not approach strong monsters. Once they get close, they may be eaten by the other party as food. However, Ying Yuanxing and Yuan Xiu are so close to each other. Even if he looks like a person with no ability, he may be in disguise. After all, Yuan Xiu likes to disguise like this the most.
"Are there any trash cans?" Ying Yuanxing asked.
"No, you've already looked through them," Yuan Xiu shook his head, "but I know there are some trash cans somewhere else, do you want to go?"
Yuan Xiu felt that he did not understand Ying Yuanxing's actions, which must be because he did not see enough.
"Is it far? We should leave the village." Ying Yuanxing asked subconsciously, but he soon remembered that he had searched the entire village. If he left the village, Ying Yuanxing looked up at the sun. It was almost noon. He had already wasted enough time today and could not delay any further.
"Forget it, let's go next time we have a chance." Ying Yuanxing refused, "I should go back to the farm, you..."
Ying Yuanxing looked at Yuan Xiu, thinking that Yuan Xiu had accompanied him all the way, he looked through the harvest, took out the orange-yellow crystal, and stuffed it directly into Yuan Xiu's hand.
"Here, a gift. I'll go back first. Bye." He gave the gift and spoke in one go. Before Yuan Xiu could react, Ying Yuanxing took the bread and left.
Yuan Xiu had received many gifts, and this crystal was not considered very valuable among them. However, after interacting with Ying Yuanxing, Yuan Xiu knew that Ying Yuanxing should be financially tight, and he should be touched that the other party was willing to give it to him.
However, he saw Ying Yuanxing dig out this yellow crystal from the trash can with his own eyes, and Ying Yuanxing should be aware of this. So, didn't Ying Yuanxing find anything strange about it being given to him like that?
Staring at the crystal in his hand, Yuan Xiu couldn't hold back his expression. He wanted to throw it away, but at the same time, he inexplicably wanted to keep the gift.
Forget it, I'll go back and study it to see where this crystal comes from. Maybe I can find clues about Ying Yuanxing's abilities.
After putting the crystal away, Yuan Xiu turned around and prepared to leave, but suddenly he thought of something and looked around. Ying Yuanxing had already walked some distance away and should not look back.
Yuan Xiu hesitated for a moment, and the lid of the trash can rose up into the air. Yuan Xiu leaned in and saw that it was empty, just as he had guessed.
Guiyi in the house saw this scene through the window and his eyes popped out. However, the news that Guiyi had seen something he shouldn't have seen yesterday and was beaten by Yuan Xiu had spread throughout the village. Realizing what he had seen, Guiyi quickly clasped his eyes in his hands and dared not look any further.
After a long while, he found that there was no movement outside, so he put his eyes back on his face.
Guiyi carefully poked his head in and found that both Yuan Xiu and Ying Yuanxing were gone. He breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the trash can outside the door with some curiosity. It was okay for that stranger to rummage through the trash can, but why was Yuan Xiu rummaging through it as well? Could there be some treasure in the trash can?
With greed in his heart, Guiyi couldn't help himself and hurried to the trash can, opened the lid and looked inside, but there was nothing inside. No, there seemed to be...
The lid of the barrel slammed shut, and a faint sound was heard, but soon there was no sound, and there was silence, as if nothing had happened.
