Chapter 4 Too Poor

"Okay." Bai Xi interrupted them and said with a serious face: "I'm here. Don't scold them. I'm just here to take a look and see how the harvest is this year."

Her words made everyone stunned for a moment, but they soon started laughing.

Where did my aunt hear this? I guess she learned it. What kind of harvest can she expect?

However, as if they were afraid that their laughter would make Bai Xi angry, the others quickly said: "Auntie, don't worry, the rice looks pretty good now. If there is no shortage of rain this year, the harvest will be pretty good."

"Yes, aunt, don't worry."

Bai Xi actually had nothing to do, she just went out and wandered around, taking care of herself wherever she went. At this meeting, everyone didn't let her stay by the fields for a long time. She also felt that there was nothing interesting to see, so she nodded in an old-fashioned way and said,

In one sentence, he left.

"Then you are busy, thank you for your hard work."

After realizing what Bai Xi said, the people working in the fields couldn't help but laugh.

"Where did my aunt learn to speak so well?"

"That's right, my aunt has become more literate after not seeing her for two days."

"Shh, stop laughing, be careful, my aunt is angry." Although the person who said this stopped everyone, he himself laughed happily.

Even though Bai Xi is only five years old, she has been trying hard to act like an adult for two years, so everyone is not surprised that she is like this.

Bai Xi listened to the laughter from behind. Although she knew they had no ill intentions, she still got angry.

This little kid's body is simply amazing.

However, she was a nine-tailed fairy fox, and she couldn't be serious with mortals. The main reason was that these people were full of good intentions towards her, which made Bai Xi depressed.

"Auntie, where do you want to go?"

"go back!"

"Oh!" Chen Rui wasn't surprised when she heard this, but she didn't leave and followed obediently.

She had to send her aunt home before she could leave.

On the way back, he passed by the ancestral hall and saw that the door of the ancestral hall was not locked. Bai Xi asked curiously.

"Why isn't the ancestral hall locked today?"

Bai Xi remembered that the ancestral hall was always locked for fear that the children in the village would run in.

There are three major surnames in Niuluo Village. They lived here hundreds of years ago and shared an ancestral hall. It is said that the three surnames were one family hundreds of years ago, but they separated later.

Chen Rui followed Bai Xi's words, looked at the ancestral hall, and answered obediently.

"There are Xiao Shunzi and the others."

Li Zhu, who was following along, took credit and said, "Auntie, they made you fall into the water that day and you were punished by kneeling in it."

"Oh." Bai Xi responded casually, then took two steps and asked, "How long?"

"Ah? Auntie, what did you say?"

Bai Xi took a deep breath and thought to herself, calm down, she can't argue with a ten-year-old kid.

She seems to have forgotten that she is only five years old now.

"I asked, how long have they been kneeling?"

Chen Rui also found that she was a little stupid and didn't understand what her aunt meant. She smiled sheepishly and replied: "It's been two days."

Have you been kneeling for two days?

The oldest of those children is only ten years old, right?

What's more, Hua Jing insisted on catching shrimps in the water that day, and then she accidentally fell into the stream. When other children catching fish and snails found out, she had already jumped to the deep water in the center, struggling.

With no strength left, Xiao Shunzi and others were so frightened that they hurriedly called for help.

Speaking of this, Bai Xi couldn't help but despise the flower essence in her heart. After all, she was an elf, but she was so useless.

If the flower essence knew what Bai Xi was thinking, she would definitely cry out for injustice. She came from cultivation and was reincarnated in this body, and her little ability was trapped. Even if she knew something, her body was still a

What can a child do?

"That's almost it."

After Bai Xi finished speaking, his stomach growled.

Chen Rui and the others didn't know what Bai Xi meant at first, but when they heard her stomach growling, they immediately understood that her aunt was hungry.

However, it's not even dinner time yet.

But they are also hungry. This season's rice is still in the fields and will not be harvested for more than two months. Even the adults who go to work have to drink porridge. Everyone is saving food for fear of not being able to survive.

It's time to harvest food.

"Auntie, here are the toffees for you." Chen Rui took out another toffee, which she was reluctant to eat just now.

The others looked at the toffee in Chen Rui's hand and swallowed greedily, but no one dared to reach out and ask for it. They all knew that they couldn't ask for anything that belonged to their aunt.

Bai Xi had never experienced such an embarrassing scene. Her delicate and beautiful face turned red instantly, and she shouted angrily: "I said I won't eat. I am an elder. How could I eat your child's food?"

She wants to eat fish and meat, and no longer wants to eat vegetables fried in a little oil. She is a nine-tailed fairy fox, not a rabbit spirit.

After Bai Xi shouted, he saw that Chen Rui and the others were silent, and then he said: "Li Zhu, Xiao Shunzi and the others are almost kneeling. Go tell the village chief and tell Xiao Shunzi and the others that it was me who said it."

Get up."

"But I haven't knelt for three days yet." Li Zhu hesitated.

Although Xiao Shunzi and others were kneeling in the ancestral hall, they were not hungry. They just couldn't climb trees and touch bird's nests or go into the water to catch shrimps.

The children in the village climb trees and rivers, roll in mud, and dig into caves. They have very strong skins and eat fried meat with bamboo shoots at every turn. They are used to being beaten. It is not an exaggeration to say that they have rough skins and thick flesh.

Bai Xi put her hands on her hips and said angrily: "I am my aunt, and whatever I say is what I say. Go quickly!"

"Oh, oh, okay, I'll go right away."

Li Zhu ran to the village chief's house, but Bai Xi's stomach growled again.

On the side, Chen Rui hurriedly and carefully peeled off the toffee. When Bai Xi opened her mouth to speak, she quickly stuffed the toffee into Bai Xi's mouth and coaxed: "Auntie, you can eat it, it's very sweet."

Suddenly being stuffed with toffee, Bai Xi's words were interrupted, and her cheeks suddenly puffed up: "..."

"Auntie, isn't it very sweet?" Chen Rui asked with a bright-eyed smile.

Bai Xi nodded. It was indeed very sweet. At least, her stomach no longer growled.

When Chen Rui heard this, she grinned even more happily, as if she had eaten toffee.

Although the other little kids were also very greedy and kept swallowing their saliva, no one said anything.

Some older children wiped the corners of their mouths, looked away, and pretended that they didn't want to eat.

"Gululu..."

"Gululu..."

There were sounds one after another. Bai Xi lifted up his pants and tightened the coarse belt a little tighter. His face showed that he was used to it, and he felt indescribably depressed.

This place is too poor, and the lives of these people are too miserable.

Bai Xi seriously suspected that the flower essence ran away because she couldn't bear the hardship.
