Chapter 5 The sweet potato porridge that made the neighbor kid cry



On the second day after Chu Yuening arrived in the other world, she was awakened by the anxious electronic sound of the system.

"You better have something urgent to do."

As she spoke, she rubbed her sleepy eyes, looked out the window at the dim light, and estimated that it was only a little after six in the morning.

The system was momentarily frightened by Chu Yuening's bad temper when she woke up.

Woo woo woo…where has its gentle host gone?

I was calling it baby yesterday!

Sure enough, the senior was right, the more beautiful a woman is, the more likely she is to lie.

But business was more important, so the system still spoke hesitantly.

"Host, you haven't caught that illegal intruder yet."

Chu Yuening recalled that she seemed to have vaguely heard about this when she woke up yesterday.

“Is this also my responsibility?”

"There's such a big place, where can I arrest him?"

Chu Yuening's face was filled with resentment, just like a worker who was asked to work overtime. Her resentment was enough to kill three evil sword immortals.

"Most illegal intruders will bring great instability to the small world, so for safety's sake, please capture them as soon as possible."

"The specific location has been located."

After the system finished speaking, it unfolded the light screen.

Chu Yuening looked at the flashing light marking the location of the imperial palace and fell into deep thought.

The system is too simple and easy to fool, but...

"You don't think I can enter the palace now, do you?"

"I'm afraid I'll be apprehended and questioned by the guards before I even reach the palace gates, let alone find the intruder."

Chu Yuening couldn't help but complain.

The system scratched its CPU awkwardly, as if what the host said made sense.

"Okay, don't worry, Xiao Yiyi. I will catch him when the time comes."

"For now, just follow my plan. You still have a new brain and need more experience."

Chu Yuening noticed the system's embarrassment, smiled, and comforted it softly.

The system, feeling like it was being scolded in a roundabout way, remained silent.

Chu Yuening no longer paid any attention to it. She got up from the bed, opened the wardrobe, and took out a set of white linen clothes and a pair of black single-soled shoes made of coarse linen.

Fortunately, there were a few sets of underwear among the daily necessities in the novice gift package.

Otherwise, the rough fabric will be uncomfortable to wear next to your skin all day long.

After getting dressed, Chu Yuening sat down in front of the dressing table and deftly combed her hair into an ancient bun in front of the bronze mirror.

When she was a blogger in modern times, she happened to study ancient hairstyles, and she never thought that she would really use them one day.

At this time, the girl in the mirror was wearing linen clothes and no makeup.

Instead, it appears elegant, refined and extraordinary.

Chu Yuening admired her own beauty once more, then stood up and opened the door.

In the brilliant light of the rising sun, she couldn't help but close her eyes and take a deep breath of the air from more than two thousand years ago.

Clean and fresh, like a cool breeze that soothes the inner anxiety and returns to the original tranquility.

She was going to start a new life in the new world.

Grandpa, you must be very happy in heaven.

I will eat well, live well, and won't make you worry anymore.

After the thought came to her mind, the haze that had been lingering between Chu Yuening's brows and eyes gradually dissipated, as if she had truly been reborn at this moment.

She let out a long breath and felt much more relaxed.

Chu Yuening began to carefully look at this house, this new home.

The first thing that catches your eye is a lush tree that casts a shade.

There is a large stone vat on the right side, and the smaller room should be the kitchen. There is also a guest room on the left side of the main house for entertaining guests.

The entire house is neither big nor small, and the furnishings are simple but complete.

"Dear Xiao Yiyi, is there a well nearby?"

Chu Yuening called the system briskly, with a slightly raised tone at the end.

"A well has been located for the host."

The system, having been coaxed into action, responded immediately.

"Okay~"

Chu Yuening took a bucket from the kitchen, followed the system navigation, went out and turned left, and while walking slowly, she looked at the layout of the residential area.

The houses are arranged in neat rows, and are basically made of wood and stone, with flying eaves and brackets, and are simple and elegant.

It is worthy of being the capital city under the feet of the emperor!

The urban planning and regional layout are very good.

After walking for a while, Chu Yuening saw a place similar to a small square in front of her, with a well in the center.

Although it was still early, there were already several women fetching water, probably for washing and cooking.

A sharp-eyed woman saw Chu Yuening carrying a bucket of water and immediately greeted her.

"Chuji, you finally figured it out!"

"Ah, my condolences, but we must always look forward."

Chu Yuening took a look at the aunt who cared about her. She looked okay, was wearing linen clothes, and was tall and thin. She must also be a merchant.

Judging from the memories instilled in her by the system, this small residential area was mostly inhabited by small merchants and vendors who could barely eat and wear warm clothes, but they were not very rich either.

This woman happened to be an old friend of Chu Yuening's parents, and she visited Chu Yuening, whom she hadn't seen for a few days, out of concern.

Faced with the first warmth from another world, Chu Yuening felt a warm feeling in her heart and expressed her gratitude sincerely.

"Thank you Aunt Liang for your concern. I'm much better now."

"Oh, it's my duty. By the way, you are here to fetch water as well, right? Auntie is here to help you."

Looking at Chu Yuening, who was as weak as a willow in the wind, Aunt Liang couldn't help but want to take the bucket from her hand.

Chu Yuening, who felt that she could kill a wild boar with one punch, firmly rejected the woman's kindness.

"Aunt Liang, I can do it. I won't bother you anymore."

By this time, the women had finished drawing water one after another.

Chu Yuening simply learned the technique of drawing water, then walked forward and easily drew a full bucket of water. She also took the wooden bucket from Aunt Liang and filled it with water for her as well.
