Chapter 2
Being cheated
Bai Xi regained her breath, opened her eyes, and was carefully helped to sit up by the woman beside her.
The discomfort in her throat made Bai Xi couldn't help but cough a few times. When she looked up, she saw the village chief's eyes were red and he was looking at her with concern. She said rudely: "Why are you looking at me? Send me back first."
."
No one thought it was strange that he was being said rudely.
The village chief responded hurriedly. He originally wanted to ask someone to send him away, but in the end he felt uneasy, so he, his wife, and the woman who had just done cardiopulmonary resuscitation sent Bai Xi home.
Behind everyone's back, the village chief silently wiped his eyes with the back of his hand.
He was scared to death just now. If there was something wrong with my aunt, how could he have the nerve to stay in Niuluo Village?
Behind him, others followed for a few steps. Bai Xi turned his head and waved impatiently: "Okay, I'm fine. You can leave."
Others, you looked at me, I looked at you, they finally stopped obediently.
"Auntie, please walk slowly."
Listening to the instructions from behind, Bai Xi's mouth twitched, but she finally endured it.
There is a huge tree at the end of Niuluo Village. It has been growing for who knows how many years. It would take five adults to hug it.
There is a house built on the huge branches of this big tree.
Bai Xi and his group walked to the big tree and stopped.
"Auntie, can I carry you up?"
"No!" Although she choked on water, Bai Xi's voice was still milky. The little adult-like tone and waving movements made people want to laugh, but none of the three village chiefs dared to laugh.
The three of them were still frightened by the thought of Bai Xi, who had just woken up after falling into the water.
God bless me, I didn't cruelly take away their aunt, otherwise, how could they have the face to meet their ancestors?
No one thought it was strange that Bai Xi, who had just recovered from the edge of life and death, was not crying or fussing or being frightened. Their aunt could count on one hand the number of times she had cried since she was born.
As for being scared, my aunt has always been very generous, so maybe she just thought that it was not a big deal if she just played in the water for a while?!
Looking up at the tree house, Bai Xi's mouth twitched. Although she was a nine-tailed fox, she didn't necessarily like living in the tree house, but this was indeed the home of the little girl's body that she occupied.
So she stepped on the wooden ladder with her short legs and walked up step by step.
The three village chiefs were not worried about Bai Xi who had just fallen into the water alone, so they naturally followed him.
Chi Chi took out the copper key from the tree hole next to him and unlocked the old-fashioned door lock. Bai Xi took the lead in going in, and the three people who followed the house started busy without anyone saying a word.
The village chief boiled water to make ginger soup, while his wife and the old Chen's wife changed Bai Xi's clothes.
Unlike people at this time who lacked food and clothing, Bai Xi's body was white and tender, her new clothes were made of 70% to 80% new cotton, and her shoes were also soft cotton shoes.
Originally, Bai Xi wanted to wear it herself, but the village chief's wife and Lao Chen's wife refused to let her go, saying that she must be exhausted. Bai Xi couldn't compete, so she had to let them do it.
After Bai Xi drank the ginger soup, the three village chiefs still refused to leave. The three of them warned each other for a while, and then left when Bai Xi almost got angry.
When there was no one at home, Bai Xi looked at the little girl who was following him.
What do you want?
I want you to protect the villagers of my Niuluo Village, my people, so that they have enough food and clothing and don't go hungry or suffer from cold.
Bai Xi: "..."
That's right, this person who came back from the outside is the soul of the original owner.
Since you can't let it go, why don't you take care of it yourself.
The little girl looked a little disappointed, and quickly said angrily, "Don't worry about me. In short, you used my body, you have to shoulder this responsibility, otherwise, you have to give my body back."
OK, I'll pay you back!
The little girl didn't expect Bai Xi to say that. She was immediately dumbfounded and waved her hands quickly, "No, no, no, don't!"
mock up!
Dare you threaten me!
Bai Xi glanced at the little girl casually. He was a nine-tailed fox. Before he was struck down by the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder, he was at the quasi-god level. He still wanted to play with this little trick in front of me.
I, I... don't be like this, you can use my body as long as you want, can't you help me? My people are not bad people, they are very good. The little girl changed her tone and begged.
Bai Xi didn't say whether she agreed or not, she just asked lightly, "Tell me first, how could you, a flower spirit, become a mortal and live here?"
The little girl suddenly raised her head, surprised, do you know my true identity?
Nonsense! Bai Xi rolled his eyes, I am a nine-tailed fairy fox.
Nine-tailed fairy fox?
The little girl was stunned for a moment, something flashed in her eyes, and then she turned around and ran away without saying a word.
Why!
Now it's Bai Xi's turn to be dumbfounded. I'm a nine-tailed fairy fox, and I'm not eating flower essences. Why are you running away!
I just heard the little girl who had run away say something from a distance, "My time is up, I am going to start the next life. Since Sister Fairy Fox has used my body, please be kind to my clan members and descendants in the mortal world."
Little did Bai Xi know that she casually told her identity and let the little girl run away neatly. By the time she realized what she was doing, she was already gone and she was so angry that she jumped up and down.
But the little girl was right. Since he had used her body and was reborn in this village, he had to suffer the consequences and could not push them away.
But being willing to accept it and being forced to accept it are two different things.
Thinking about her majestic nine-tailed fairy fox, when would someone dare to make her weak? She...well, a good man, not to mention his bravery in the past, anyway, she can only grow up well in this body and live out this life.
He lowered his head and looked at his body. He had short hands and short legs. He was only five years old, but because of his seniority, no one in the village dared to disrespect him.
The people in Niuluo Village have strict rules. Of course, there are not too many rules. There is only one rule: you must be filial to those with seniority. If you dare to break the rules, you will be beaten or driven out of the village.
In the little girl's memory, Bai Xi got all the information.
She was the only daughter of her parents, but when she left the village to go to the town market to buy things six months ago, she was caught in a heavy rain and fell off a cliff and died. If she hadn't been older, everyone in Niuluo Village was extremely rule-abiding.
, in such an era of lack of food and clothing, how can she eat for nothing and be fat? It would be good if she doesn't starve to death.
Bai Xi was just depressed at home, and in the blink of an eye, it was dark.
Dinner was brought by Lao Chen's wife, a fried potato with oil residue, a steamed egg, and a large bowl of porridge.
Regardless of the roughness of the food, this is already the best food in Niuluo Village.
After Bai Xi's parents passed away, eighty families in the village took turns delivering meals to her, and her rice was provided collectively by the village.
Although a little kid can't eat much, no one is rich these days, let alone one egg a day.
(The new article is still a little one, but it will work hard to thrive. I hope everyone will like it.)
