I, enter the zero world, change the ending

"Everyone, let me introduce you. This is Sikong Zhiyao, the foreigner. His Excellency Sikong." Facing the villagers, Matsumoto Sosuke put his five fingers together and pointed at Zhiyao. "Today, thanks to his unremitting efforts, the monster in the cave has been successfully subdued!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd immediately burst into cheers, as if they were celebrating an important festival.

Although these people usually don't go there and the cave entrance is sealed by professionals, in their opinion, it is better to eliminate the dangerous monsters. For example, if there is a tiger locked up next door, even if there is a door, living next to the tiger for a long time will always make people feel uneasy, worrying that the tiger will run out one day by accident.

A few seconds later, as Matsumoto Sosuke raised his hands and slowly pressed them down, the crowd quieted down again.

"Before the monster was defeated, I had defined His Excellency Sikong as a suspicious figure. However, I want to announce that from now on, His Excellency Sikong is an honored guest and the most welcome guest, because he is the hero of Yangyan Village."

The crowd cheered again.

This was the first time that Zhiyao had been given such a title since she was a child. She looked at everyone back and forth, feeling as if the sky had cleared up after the rain. When she saw those admiring eyes, she felt even more elated.

At times like this, I should say something.

When this thought came to him, he raised his hands like Matsumoto Sosuke, and the crowd immediately fell silent.

"Well, I... I have carefully explored every corner of it. I can now tell you with absolute certainty that there are no monsters in there anymore."

The crowd cheered a third time.

When the cheers died down, Matsumoto Sosuke made another invitation gesture to Zhiyao.

"Mr. Sikong, please follow me into the mansion."

After saying goodbye to Baiju, Zhiyao followed her in and came to the main hall.

A few minutes later, at the instruction of Matsumoto Sosuke, a servant placed the envelope in front of Zhiyao. Zhiyao took a quick look and found that the envelope was quite bulging.

"It contains the agreed-upon reward. Please review it, Your Excellency Sikong."

Zhiyao opened the envelope and found a stack of banknotes inside. He was too lazy to count how many there were.

"Thank you, Master Matsumoto. I will respectfully obey your orders."

"Haha, no need to be modest. This is what you deserve." Matsumoto Sosuke took a sip of tea. "May I ask, what are your plans next?"

"I plan to stay in the village for a while." Zhiyao thought for a while and replied.

Now that he had money and fame, he felt that staying overnight at the Aso or Shiragiku homes should not be a problem.

"Ms. Matsumoto, is this convenient?"

"Of course, Your Excellency Sikong can stay as long as you want, until you want to leave. If you don't mind, please stay overnight at my house."

As soon as Matsumoto Sosuke gave an order, several servants immediately went to arrange the room. Estimating that it would take some time to clean up the room, Zhiyao took out a cigarette box, gave a cigarette to Matsumoto Sosuke, lit it for him, and lit one for herself at the same time.

When the cigarette was half burned, he suddenly remembered something and asked seriously, "Master Matsumoto, may I ask what the prices are here..."

"Your Excellency, please feel free to speak."

"How do you sell the food in the village? For example, how much rice can I get from the wad of money I just mentioned?"

Matsumoto Sosuke calculated carefully and said, "It can probably be exchanged for about ten denarii. Why do you ask this?"

"I want to buy rice, the kind without hulls," Zhiyao said bluntly, then took out nearly half of the banknotes from the envelope and handed it over. "Since you're a straightforward person, I won't bargain. This is the money. Please see how much you can exchange."

Chapter 112: [Increased Treatment]

Matsumoto Sosuke couldn't understand why he had to buy rice when he had already taken care of his own food and accommodation.

But Zhiyao had given him the money, so he didn't ask any further questions. Instead, he took him directly to the granary, generously divided out ten grains for Zhiyao, and then had someone pack them in sacks as requested.

"Master Matsumoto, I'll have to ask your servants to help me from now on, hehe." Zhiyao smiled awkwardly, "There are too many things, I can't move them all by myself."

At the instruction of Matsumoto Sosuke, the servants picked up the bags and followed Zhiyao out.

Curious about Zhiyao's plan, Matsumoto Sosuke followed her. When they finally arrived at a place, they heard Zhiyao asking someone to put something down. When they looked closely, they found that it was the doorstep of the white-haired little girl's house.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

Zhiyao started knocking on the door.

After a few knocks, the door opened and in front of him was a man who looked honest.

The man was stunned when he saw Zhiyao and Matsumoto Sosuke appear at the same time, accompanied by several servants.

"Mr. Matsumoto, and Mr. Hero, what are you two doing..."

Looking inside, Zhiyao asked, "Where's your wife? Call her here too."

The man didn't dare to say anything when he heard the voice. He immediately went to call someone. Soon he came back here with a quite pretty woman.

The two people in front of him were the legendary Bai Ju's parents. To be honest, Zhiyao was a little excited.

However, in his heart, on the surface, his expression was not good, so much so that the couple in front of him were a little afraid, even though the two of them were sure that they had never offended each other.

"What are your last names?" Zhiyao asked straight to the point.

"what?"

Bai Ju's parents were a little confused as they didn't understand Zhiyao's meaning.

"What? I'm asking your last names." Zhiyao urged in an impatient tone.

"Sakura... Sakurai..." Shiragiku's father answered hurriedly.

"Oh, I didn't expect it to sound so nice." Zhiyao sighed, then glared at the other person and changed his tone to questioning, "Why don't you two give Baiju the surname?"

After hearing the latter sentence, Bai Ju's parents were completely stunned.

"I'm asking you two a question, answer quickly."

"because……"

Because this is the custom in the village, Bai Ju's parents were about to say this, but due to the pressure from Zhiyao, they did not say it immediately. Then, after they looked at Matsumoto Sosuke and found that the other party's expression remained unchanged, they seemed to have the confidence to tell the answer.

"Before the age of seven, every child is a son of God and cannot be called a human being. Only when they reach the age of seven and become human beings can they be given a surname."

fart.

Zhiyao wanted to curse directly, but Matsumoto Sosuke was behind him, so he didn't curse. Instead, he said in a calm tone: "Give Baiju the surname immediately. She is not an ordinary girl."

In fact, Zhiyao was not prepared to change Baiju's parents' minds, at least not now.

The reason is still because Matsumoto Sosuke is behind him.

The conventional concept is deeply rooted in the hearts of the villagers and it was not formed overnight. He is not sure whether it was Matsumoto Sosuke or several generations of Matsumoto's ancestors who first proposed this.

Directly denying and scolding him might hurt the other person's face, so he chose to narrow the scope to Bai Ju alone. After all, the original goal was to resolve Bai Ju's treatment issue. As long as this was resolved, the rest could be dealt with later.

"Ah, this..." Faced with such a request, Bai Ju's parents didn't know what to do.

Even though the person in front of them was a hero, they didn't dare to make promises casually. They looked at each other, and then all turned their eyes to Matsumoto Sosuke.

Also confused, Matsumoto Sosuke looked at Zhiyao.

"Sir Sikong, what are you doing..."

"Bai Ju is not an ordinary girl. She is more special than the other children." Zhi Yao replied calmly, "You all saw that she has white hair and red eyes. She... is not the child of God, but God's messenger."

God's messenger, Shiragiku's parents were stunned, and Matsumoto Sosuke was also a little surprised.

Seeing this, Zhiyao continued, "Bai Ju will awaken her psychic vision ability in the future, and she has a huge amount of spiritual power hidden in her body, but it is still in the unawakened stage."

Their daughter will awaken her spiritual power in the future, and it will be extremely powerful. Bai Ju's parents are completely confused.

In the village, having spiritual power and not having spiritual power symbolize two different statuses. For example, the two self-righteous priests, Matsumoto Sosuke, were able to be at the top, in addition to their status factors, it was also related to the spiritual power in their bodies. Even the shrine maidens of the neighboring Higami Mountain had a higher status than the ordinary villagers of Yangyan Village. The families in the village who could export shrine maidens to Higami Mountain, in addition to getting a sum of money, could also receive extra care from the Matsumoto family in the future.

"Mr. Sikong, are you serious?" Matsumoto Sosuke asked impatiently.

"It's true, I can guarantee it." Zhiyao patted his chest with a solemn oath, "I swear here in the name of my two guardian spirits."

As soon as he finished speaking, not only Yaoboji appeared, but also the Bobing butterflies.

Seeing that Zhiyao actually had two guardian spirits, Matsumoto Sosuke was so shocked that he was speechless and nodded to show his conviction. Although Baiju's parents could not see the guardian spirits, they could see Matsumoto Sosuke's appearance, so they dared not have any doubts anymore.

"You two, do as Lord Sikong says, do you hear me?" Matsumoto Sosuke ordered the two.

Bai Ju's parents nodded hurriedly.

"Let's hold the naming ceremony now. Lord Matsumoto and I want to witness it in person." Zhiyao made a request.

Bai Ju's mother immediately went back to the house, and when she came back, Bai Ju was with her.

"Brother Sikong." Seeing Zhiyao, Bai Ju immediately smiled.

Zhiyao quickly walked over and picked up Baiju, "Baiju, are you still awake?"

"Get ready for bed, hehe."

"Really? Then you might not be able to sleep tonight, hehe."

After saying this, Zhiyao winked at Baiju's father. Baiju's father quickly said, "My daughter, from now on, I officially give you the surname Sakurai. From now on, you will no longer be the child of God, but an upright person."

So from that moment on, Baiju became the only child under the age of seven in the village who had a surname.

"Uh, this is..." Things happened suddenly, Bai Ju was at a loss, and looked at everyone present in turn.

"Just as you heard." Zhiyao's voice appeared in his ears.

Brother Sikong would not lie to her. Bai Ju immediately realized that this was true and her expression was as happy as if she were basking in the spring breeze.

"Brother Sikong, I... I really am..." Bai Ju was overjoyed, but her voice trembled uncontrollably.

Agreeing with him, Zhiyao smiled evilly, "How is it, can't you sleep anymore?"

"Yes, I can't sleep." Bai Ju stuck out her tongue, "But I have a way. I can count, count Brother Sikong."

Zhiyao choked and rolled his eyes in boredom. Then he put Baiju down and looked at Baiju's parents expressionlessly.

Being stared at made Bai Ju's parents feel creepy. They asked anxiously:

"Excuse me...is there anything else...?"

Zhiyao silently lit a cigarette for herself, took a puff, and then replied slowly: "Why do you only give Baiju one meal a day?"

As soon as the voice came out, Bai Ju's parents trembled at the same time, as if a bolt from the blue had struck them.

The reason was naturally that he had heard from others more than once that Baiju would not live long, and he himself had little knowledge. Baiju was particularly prone to illness when she was a child. Over time, he gave up on Baiju and planned to have a healthy and normal child again in a few years.

But they couldn't bear to abandon the child, so they kept him hanging for one meal every day, thinking that they had done their best as parents.

As for how long Baiju can live, it depends on her own luck.

Of course, Bai Ju's parents didn't dare to tell Zhiyao the above thoughts directly, but Zhiyao was not stupid and could guess a little.

"Ah..." He sighed meaningfully, pointing to the ten sacks piled at the door. "Here are ten dan rice. I bought it from Master Matsumoto. I'll give it to your family."

Suspecting they had heard wrong, Bai Ju's parents looked at the young man in disbelief.

In recent years, due to various factors such as climate, the harvest has not been very good. Grain is now a precious commodity with a value comparable to gold. The young man in front of them gave them ten grains in one go, and they couldn't believe it, and vaguely felt that it was not for them.

And Zhiyao's next words confirmed their guess.

"Although this is a gift for your family, I have to make it clear that it's for Baiju. Starting tomorrow, Baiju must eat two meals a day, and then you two can share the meal with Baiju. Do you understand?"

"I understand." Bai Ju's parents nodded quickly.

"I hope you two will keep your word and not play any tricks, otherwise you know what the consequences will be."

"We promise not to." Bai Ju's parents promised cautiously.

"Lord Matsumoto, you see...why don't you be a witness?" Zhiyao turned to Matsumoto Sosuke. He knew very well that as long as he dragged this guy in, Baiju's parents would never dare to have any ulterior motives from then on.

"Ahahaha, I'm honored."

At this point, the matter came to an end, and Zhiyao waved goodbye to Baiju's family. However, on the opposite side, Baiju's mother looked at him with burning eyes, as if she was thinking about something.

These days, she heard from others that a stranger came to the village and ran around with her children every day, and their relationship was extremely close. At first she didn't care much, but now that the stranger has turned into a hero admired by everyone, she couldn't help but start to think about something.

The child she and her husband had abandoned was actually quite fond of by the stranger, a genuine affection. So, why not strengthen their relationship? For example, was the hero married or not? Did he have an engagement back home? If not, could they find a way to arrange one, with their daughter becoming a child bride? That way, the family would have both a powerful daughter and a heroic son-in-law, and their status and treatment would surely rise.

As for my daughter not living long...

The hero can even successfully defeat monsters and is treated so well by Matsumoto Sosuke. He must have extraordinary abilities. Maybe he can find a way to prolong his daughter's life. If he can't find it, it won't be a loss for me.

In other words, Zhiyao cannot see visually. If he knew that Baiju's mother was planning this, he would definitely spit out blood.

In his opinion, child brides were a feudal evil and absolutely unacceptable. Although he liked Bai Ju a little in his heart, the Bai Ju in front of him was only six years old.

She is not the hundred-year-old female ghost in the future, so how could he be in heat for her?

Pervert?
