Chapter 1 The human heart is not ancient
"Gollum~"
There was a "wail" in his stomach, Wang smiled and chirped, turned over but didn't plan to wake up, sleeping is the best way to save physical strength and save food!
"Tick, tick", she suddenly realized the gravity of the matter as the water dripped down the cracks in the cracked wall and onto her face.
After turning over and getting out of bed to tinker, and finally plugging all the visible cracks in the house, the stomach will be hungry faster.
From the time she crossed over to this place until now, she hadn't had a full meal! She's got to stock up on some food for herself, right?! Otherwise, what if I starve to death?!
Thinking of this, Wang Xiao sighed and walked to the two jars in the corner.
Half a jar of pickled radish, as well as millet that has bottomed out, this is her last family foundation.
She asked herself, she shouldn't have done anything bad, why was she suddenly thrown into such a shabby place where even rats were hungry?
Looking up, the roof of the thatched hut had several huge cracks that had been plugged up, and the walls around it were made of random stones, and the wind would bring up countless dust and scatter in all directions.
What is a house leak that happens to rain overnight?
Well, that's it.
A large pile of hay is spread on the yellow earth, and from time to time strange animals will emerge from it, which is simply a small ecological environment.
The family is surrounded by four walls, these four words are used to describe Wang Xiao's current situation, which is simply suitable.
Wang Xiao held his forehead with a sad face, and said in his heart that this is really a "fairyland outside the world".
Recalling that at the beginning, I used all my belongings to buy a fifty-square-meter apartment, although it was a little smaller, but at least it could shelter from the wind and rain.
But there were unforeseen circumstances, she had just finished decorating the apartment, and before she could experience the feeling of having a house, she collapsed on the operating table without warning, and when she opened her eyes again, she had already come here.
She will never forget the moment she first came here, she thought she was dreaming!
pinched his thigh hard, "hiss", it hurts!
Not a dream!
She crossed over?!
Really crossed! And crossed into a poor bastard with nothing?!
Just as she was stunned, the memories of the original owner of the body also flooded in.
It turns out that this place is called Lanxiang, which is the poorest place in Shili Eight Villages, and she is the poorest existence in this poor place!
It is also miserable, the original owner of this body, her father died on the battlefield, her mother knew that after her husband died, she directly packed up and ran away, abandoned her family and daughter, and did not even leave her half a copper plate, her body was only twelve or thirteen years old, skinny, and could only barely rely on the half of the rice left by her father before the accident......
But now, in addition to lamenting that the world is cold and people's hearts are not ancient, Wang Xiao only regrets why he didn't have a good rest in the first place, and died suddenly at a young age.
She took a deep breath, forced herself to calm down, and then secretly told herself in her mind not to think about it so much.
There is an old saying that "if you come what you have, you will be safe", and even if you don't have anything to do now, it's not without benefit to be alone, for example, food decreases very slowly.
Speaking of food, Wang Xiao's stomach began to protest uncontrollably.
Wang Xiao's eyes widened, counted thirty millets and threw them into the pot, then opened the bucket and scooped two large scoops of water into the pot, and then began to cook on the fire.
After the fire was burning, she stepped on the small bench to get a kitchen knife and cut the pickled radish.
Pickled vegetables with millet porridge, this is the best condition that Wang Xiao can achieve.
I have to say that this Lan Township is still very poor.
After barely filling his stomach, Wang Xiao walked around his two thatched huts—two large plots of land, with a babbling stream behind them, and a row of fences on the banks that even cats couldn't stop.
"Meow ......"
Wang Xiao was slightly stunned, turned his head to look behind him, and saw a cat covered in pitch black ink didn't know when he came to his feet.
It's just that this cat is already hungry at the moment, and it looks weak when it barks.
After hesitating for a moment, Wang Xiao sighed, still couldn't bear to starve a fresh life to death like this, turned around and went back to the house and took out a little millet porridge that he was reluctant to eat.
Looking at the little black cat that was wagging its tail at him frantically, Wang Xiao sighed: "Xiao Hei, in the future, you and I will only be the only ones left in this family, we have to rely on each other......
Don't look at me like that, I know what you want to say, don't worry, I won't let you starve to death, you trust me, I will definitely make a lot of money, so that you will never go hungry again......"
Speaking of this, she paused, and suddenly thought that there seemed to be no banknotes in this era, and added: "It's not money, it's copper plates!" ”
Looking at Xiao Hei, who was just licking the bottom of the basin, Wang Xiao couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart.
In my previous life, I liked animals, and I kept talking about wanting to raise a pet cat, but in the end I couldn't achieve it.
Now there is a little black cat in front of him, although it is not a precious breed, but fortunately, he is obedient and loyal, and can accompany him to live a hard life.
Thinking of this, Wang Xiao couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth into an arc.
"Little girl of the Wang family, why are you willing to take millet to feed the cat? What a waste! ”
It was a woman in a gray linen shirt who spoke, her long hair dazzling from the sunlight.
The woman's face was sincere and regretful when she spoke, as if she was genuinely smiling and thinking for the king.
Seeing Wang Xiao looking up at herself, she rubbed the mud on her hands, too lazy to care about the little black who was frantically licking the bottom of the basin, and said to Wang Xiao: "Little girl of the Wang family, you really can't live......
Hey, it's still a child. She sighed heavily when she said this, then squatted down and said softly: "If you go on like this, your family will soon run out of food, otherwise, your father's pension money will be kept by your aunt for you first, and you will go to your aunt's house for dinner on weekdays, how about it?" ”
Pension silver?
Wang Xiao was a little dazed - what is this pension silver?
As soon as she saw the blank expression on Wang Xiao's face, the woman couldn't help but chuckle in her heart.
Doesn't this girl know about the pension money? Could it be that his father's pension money was all embezzled by the gang of the old Wang family?
She regretted it a little, and said that she had known that this was the case, so she didn't save this girl in the first place, and let her drown in the stream.
It's good now, I saved people, and I didn't get any benefits, but I was scolded by the old Wang's group of kittens for meddling.
Frowning slightly, the woman muttered a little in her heart, and her eyes began to scan Wang Xiao's body continuously.
Looking at the girl's appearance, it doesn't look like a lie, are those people in the old Wang family really so ruthless, and the ten taels of silver given by the government really didn't leave this child at all?
"Little girl of the Wang family, you really don't know about the pension silver?"
Wang Xiao nodded, still at a loss.
Seeing her nodding, the woman's face changed suddenly, changed her previous gentle concern, and said coldly: "Girl, I wasted a lot of effort to save you, and now that you are fine, why didn't you even say anything?" ”
Wang Xiao was slightly stunned, and then sneered.
Sure enough, it was a weasel who gave the chicken a New Year's greeting - uneasy and kind!
Thinking about it, this woman suddenly appeared for the sake of the pension money in her mouth, pretending to care about herself.
