Chapter 2: The Strange Goldfinger

"Jiang Xiaoxiao! Jiang Xiaoxiao! My princess! Open the door! ”

"Mrs. Wang is here, sister, what should I do, Mrs. Wang is here!"

Because of Mrs. Wang's knock on the door, several of their children panicked again, and their eyes stared at Jiang Xiaoxiao with pity, for fear that Jiang Xiaoxiao would change their attention because of Mrs. Wang's appearance.

Jiang Xiaoxiao soothed: "A few of you stay in the house with your children, and I'll go and talk to Mrs. Wang." ”

Jiang Xiaoxiao went to the yard, the yard was enclosed by a broken fence, there was a dry well on the right side of the yard that had not been used all the year round, and next to it was a low house, July was summer, but the dead leaves were piled up all over the yard, the wind was slow in his ears, Jiang Xiaoxiao took a big stride, and his feet were stepping on the dead leaves, making a crisp sound.

Such a sound was in stark contrast to the impatient knocking of the princess outside.

Jiang Xiaoxiao pulled the bolt of the door, leaned out, and did not let Mrs. Wang enter the courtyard.

Mrs. Wang is a middle-aged woman over fifty years old, with a cross-haired face, she is a well-known nosy person in Dayu Village, Jiang Xiaoxiao doesn't know what her surname is, just because her man's surname is Wang, the village calls her Mrs. Wang.

The matter of selling ginger was the one who took the initiative to find the door.

Mrs. Wang swept Jiang Xiaoxiao with a pair of hanging eyes: "What about your brother, hurry up and bring him out." ”

While speaking, Mrs. Wang took out two taels of silver ingots from her purse: "I brought you all the money, what about others." ”

"Granny Wang, I changed my mind and won't sell my brother, please go back."

"What? Jiang Xiaoxiao, have you thought clearly, there are so many people in your family, you don't even have one to rely on, can you support you? This time, the family lacks a son, it is a good family in the town, and your brother is blessed to go, it is better than following you to suffer. ”

"Mrs. Wang, I think very clearly, I won't sell it."

"You! What a wild girl who doesn't know what to do! Mrs. Wang gritted her teeth angrily, and hated that she had not signed a contract with Jiang Xiaoxiao earlier, her face trembled slightly, and she pointed at Jiang Xiaoxiao and scolded: "How much famine is there now, my mother-in-law Wang saw that your family was pitiful, so she gave you this idea, just a group of little cubs of your Jiang family, sooner or later, they will starve to death on the streets!" I'll see how long your family can last! Let me tell you Jiang Xiaoxiao, next time you want to sell, it's not at this price! ”

"Who bullied my sister!" Jiang Wu suddenly ran out with a long wooden stick, and with such a shout, he scared Wang Pozi away.

While running back, Mrs. Wang scolded and scolded at the top of her voice: "A group of wild cubs who don't know how to do it!" Sooner or later, I will ask for the old lady! ”

Mrs. Wang put two taels of silver in her pocket, her cheeks were red, and she was not afraid that Jiang Xiaoxiao would not change her mind, just those few children would not last for three days.

Coming in front of her was Zhao Zhang's, she was wearing her hair in a bun, her body was slender, and her long face was smiling and greeted Mrs. Wang: "Mrs. Wang, are you going to Jiang's house to see those children again?" ”

Mrs. Wang nodded with a gloomy expression: "Look at them, they are pitiful, but they are a few people who have no conscience, in the end, they are from other villages, and they have blinded my heart." ”

Zhao Zhang's eyes narrowed and glanced at the Jiang family from a distance: "I'm also going to go over and inform them, the Qin Yuan in Ming'er Town will give food and disaster relief, so they can get a bite to eat." ”

Hearing the news, Mrs. Wang's face changed slightly, and even she didn't know that there was such a good thing, she pulled the corners of her lips: "Go back, I'll tell them." ”

At this time, Zhao Zhang's family returned directly to Wang Pozi.

————————

At night, Jiang Xiaoxiao first distributed the wild fruits picked from the mountain to them, and she left a minimum to satisfy her hunger, she looked at them and said: "After eating, you go to sleep, Ming'er is full of energy, see if you can go up the mountain to catch a few hares and come back to eat." ”

"Sister, the hare is so difficult to catch, I can't catch it, I can run fast." Jiang Ruoqing lay on the wooden bed, rolled up the quilt, and said distressedly.

"I'll catch it!" Jiang Wu took a bite of the fruit, serious and firm.

Jiang Wu and Jiang Ming slept in a low house in the courtyard, when the two brothers were growing up, the two fruits were not enough to eat, Jiang Wu took a belt, knowing that there was nothing to eat at home, and he didn't say much, so he pulled Jiang Ming to sleep, and when he fell asleep, he wouldn't be hungry.

Jiang Xiaoxiao wiped Jiang Yan's face and let Jiang Yan and Jiang Ruoqing sleep.

Jiang Xiaoxiao was lying on the wooden bed, Jiang Ruoqing was lying on one side, and Jiang Yan was sleeping on one side, she just ate a fruit, her hungry mind was dizzy, and in the dark and unfamiliar environment, she couldn't sleep at all, this is just the beginning, tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, let her eat the fruit again, and their family is afraid that they will really starve to death.

She only had eight copper plates, and she looked sideways at Jiang Ruoqing and Jiang Yan, who were already asleep, and she felt pressured.

In the darkness, she suddenly opened her eyes, as if she had thought of something.

She remembered that in this book, there was a very strange and infuriating setting, when Jiang Xiaoxiao looked at it, she felt that the unscrupulous author was simply here to pit the heroine.

Because in the setting, next to the old locust tree in the yard, a box can be dug up, although the box is mentioned in the text, but the heroine is not allowed to find it, this setting is equal to nothing.

Jiang Xiaoxiao's eyes flickered, the original heroine didn't know, she knew, she rubbed her palms, hoping that the time would come, so that their family would not really starve to death in this Dayu Village.

She crept down to the ground and got out of the house in the dark.

The courtyard was quiet and only the sound of the wind and the sound of falling leaves could be heard, so she found a stick from the corner of the wall, and ran to the old locust tree and began to dig.

After digging for about ten minutes, Jiang Xiaoxiao really dug something.

She dug out a wooden chest in two or three clicks, and she filled the soil back again, secretly praying, hoping that this box would really have treasures.

She closed her eyes, opened the box, and opened her eyes again with anticipation, but when she saw the contents of the box again, Jiang Xiaoxiao's little face collapsed, and in the empty box, only a strip of cloth was placed, what Jiang Xiaoxiao's fantasy of white flowers and silver, yellow gold, there was no one, she cursed in her heart one hundred and eighty times, and sure enough, the author was used to pit the heroine!

She took out the strip of cloth from the box with a displeased face, but the moment she first touched the strip of cloth, a line appeared in her mind, and at the same time, the box disappeared out of thin air.

"Complete a one-day tour of Baili Town and be rewarded with an iron spoon."

A day trip to Baili Town? Iron spoon? Ferric... It's not gold, what's the use, although I don't understand what the situation is, but the iron spoon can still cook, it's better than nothing.

But what about the box?

Jiang Xiaoxiao was thinking in her heart, and the sandalwood box carved with exquisite patterns in the corner appeared in front of Jiang Xiaoxiao's eyes.

She paused for a few seconds, and the book was still a box controlled by her mind, but after taking the strip of cloth, the box could not be opened.

Jiang Xiao thought carefully, put the box away first, and thought in his heart to wait for a trip to the town tomorrow to see if there was really a reward.

Then, with a little expectation, she went back to the house and went to sleep.
