Chapter 10: Fire at the city gate affects all



Because of this door on the outer wall, she built a simple kitchen at the door.

One side is against the building as an inner wall, and the other three sides are built with cheap waste building boards to form a square shed.

The roof is also made of waste building materials. I don’t know what material it is made of. When it rains, the roof makes a constant clanging sound, which is like noise, and is often complained by neighbors.

There was only a shabby long table in the shed, on which was a second-hand induction cooker, which was their main cooking tool.

Xia Chujian entered the small room from this simple kitchen.

The temperature in the single room was the same as outside, as cold as an ice cellar.

The intensive fighting over the past few hours had exhausted her.

She was so sleepy that she didn't even boil water to take a bath. She just lay down on the bed and fell asleep wrapped in a thick duvet.

I opened my eyes and woke up. It was only seven in the morning.

At this time normally, she should get up and go to school.

She is seventeen years old and this is her last year of high school. She will take the college entrance examination next summer.

But she doesn't want to study at all. She is busy working to make money. How can she have time to study?

Her grades weren't very good either; she just barely passed each subject.

How can I possibly get into university?

And even if she got in, she couldn't afford the expensive university tuition.

As for the 500,000 Beichen coins that were just transferred to my personal account today, they are not used to improve my life or go to school, but to save my life.

Xia Chujian lay in bed for a while and decided not to go to school today.

She used her smart bracelet to send a message to her teacher, saying that she was sick and asked for a day off.

Then he went to the simple kitchen outside to boil water, took a quick shower, and changed into clean clothes.

While boiling water for a bath, she plugged in the rice cooker and cooked a pot of fragrant pork rib porridge with the little rice left in the rice bucket at home and the black truffle wild rhino ribs given by her neighbor Aunt Chen.

The black truffle wild rhinoceros comes from the mysterious forest of exotic beasts, a place that even low-level hunting teams like Xia Chujian dare not go to.

I don’t know how Aunt Chen can go there to “pick up bargains” once a month.

Xia Chujian was washing up while looking out the window, his thoughts running wildly like wild horses on the prairie.

Thinking about the two battles in the early morning, the experience of escaping death still made her very alert.

She has been a member of the Night Hunters for three years, and this time is the most dangerous.

Fortunately, her shooting skills are accurate.

Xia Chujian decided to spend more time practicing shooting.

Fortunately, she has a little talent for firearms, otherwise she would not be able to survive in the Night Hunters.

She used an old towel that had turned white from washing to wipe the water droplets off her face. Her face felt tight and a little chapped.

But she had no money to buy any skin care products, not even the cheapest chemical products.

After changing clothes, it was already dawn outside. The temperature was not as cold as at night, but there was no sun, and it was foggy, so visibility was not very high.

The pork ribs porridge is cooked, it is fragrant and makes people's mouths water.

Xia Chujian didn't drink any of it. He only drank a tube of low-grade nutrient solution that tasted of plastic. Then he put all the pork rib porridge in an insulated lunch box and took it to the hospital.

When I went out, I met my neighbor Aunt Chen who had just returned from outside carrying a big bag.

She looked Xia Chujian up and down and asked with a smile, "Chujian, are you going to the hospital to see your aunt again?"

Aunt Chen knew that Xia Chujian and her aunt Xia Yuanfang depended on each other for survival and had lived in this building for many years.

Xia Chujian also quickly glanced at Aunt Chen.

It was obvious that Aunt Chen had already cleaned up, but there were still some unhealed wounds on the back of her hand, and a wound on the side of her face that had just stopped bleeding, which cut almost the entire left side of her face from top to bottom.

Are we going to the Monster Forest again?

Or was she beaten by her husband?

Xia Chujian sighed inwardly and said politely, "Good morning, Aunt Chen."

Aunt Chen weighed the large bag on her back and smiled, "You're up early too, much earlier than my daughter."

Xia Chujian smiled, not wanting to talk about herself, so she changed the subject and said, "Aunt Chen, did you go hunting in the Exotic Beast Forest again?"

Xia Chujian has been a member of the Night Hunter team for three years, but has never taken on a mission to the Monster Forest because it is too dangerous.

Even though their team is so well-equipped, they still don't dare to take the mission to the Monster Forest.

But Aunt Chen, a seemingly ordinary housewife neighbor, goes to the Monster Forest every month.

I never come back empty-handed.

She knew that Aunt Chen was using this method to supplement the family income and to save for her daughter's college tuition.

Because Aunt Chen's husband always beats and scolds her, saying she is a good-for-nothing who only eats and does no work...
