Chapter 3: Neighborhoods
The small bamboo house is not locked, and you can enter it by pushing it open. She opened the door, only to find that there was something else inside.
When she looked outside, she thought that what she was in front of was just an ordinary small bamboo house. However, when she opened the door, she found that there was a lot of space inside, and it was not just a small room.
There are a lot of rooms inside, and those rooms are all locked. Meng Yuxuan searched for a long time and found that there was only one room with a key inserted in the lock, which she could open directly.
Creak! The door opened. The bookshelves that filled the room dazzled her eyes. She was sure there was definitely something wrong here. The room, which didn't look like a big kitchen, opened it and found that it was larger than the three bedrooms of Shangguan Huan's house combined. And the bookshelves in the room, which are filled with all kinds of books. Isn't the owner of this house a fairy who likes to read?
Meng Yuxuan quickly found the answer to her question. She saw a book on the only desk, and a few words were written on it - Penglai Space.
She hesitated and hesitated, and finally couldn't control her curiosity and opened the book.
"Huh? Empty? Isn't it a wordless heavenly book? Meng Yuxuan said angrily.
Just as he was about to close the book, blood splattered on the pages of his fingertips. Meng Yuxuan frowned, looked around and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. Hopefully, the owner of the book will not blame. ”
It was at this moment that the pages glowed with a dazzling silver light. Silver light shot out, and a red font appeared on the wordless heavenly book that did not have a word just now. The fonts floated up from the book, spun in the air a few times, and drilled into Meng Yuxuan's head.
Not! It hurts! Meng Yuxuan sat on the ground with her head in her arms.
It hurts so much that it almost explodes!
The feeling of headache just now has returned. Only this time, except for the headache, it seems that something is drilling around. She felt uncomfortable and a little swelling at the same time.
At this time, Meng Yuxuan was wrapped in silver light. When the silver light was gone, the painful feeling disappeared. At this time, she found that there were many more things in her head, such as what Penglai Space was.
"Penglai Space......" Meng Yuxuan sat on the ground, looking at the bookshelves in the room. It turns out that there are really immortals. This is actually a paradise left by the gods. ”
According to the information in her head, this Penglai space is a magic weapon made by the Purple Witch Fairy who has been refining her cultivation and essence blood for five thousand years. Its carrier is the jade pendant she has worn since she was a child.
Where did that jade pendant come from, Meng Yuxuan didn't know. She has no memories of what she was before she was ten years old. After the age of ten, she was sold to the Li family as a maid.
Since the Penglai space was created by immortals, it certainly has special abilities. This is a magic tool that can be planted quickly. This means that growing fruits and vegetables in it can speed up ripening.
As for this small bamboo house, it was carefully built by the Purple Turnip Fairy for future generations. The first room is the study room, and the other rooms are the alchemy room, the refining room, the cultivation room, and so on. However, the purple fairy did not leave the key. If you want to open other doors, you have to cultivate the aura and use your own cultivation to open those rooms.
There was also a stone on the table. That's the spirit stone. As long as you have a spiritual root, you can practice the exercises in the study.
Meng Yuxuan felt that what she encountered today was too shocking. First was reborn, then opened the Penglai space, and now said that he could practice the immortal method, and maybe he could become an immortal in the future. These things are casually said and no one believes them. Others will only think of her as crazy or stupid. The most terrible situation is to be treated as a monster by others, and then life is worse than death.
Therefore, she must not tell anyone about the space. Even Shangguan Huan, who she is very grateful for.
Put your hand on the spirit stone and follow the instructions and think of nothing. Time passed little by little, and there was no reaction from the spirit stones.
Meng Yuxuan smiled helplessly: "It seems that you can't be an immortal." I'll just say there's nothing so good in the world. But that's fine, being an immortal is too lonely, and I don't want to be an immortal. ”
If she really had a spiritual root, she wouldn't be able to live an ordinary life. already has a magic weapon, and if you go to cultivate the immortal law, you have to go to the deep mountains and old forests to concentrate on cultivating.
Still, she loves the space. She can grow vegetables here, and she can put important things into the space so that no one can covet them.
"It's time to get out!" Meng Yuxuan thought, 'I'm going out,' and returned to the kitchen in the blink of an eye.
There was no sound outside, and the father and son should not have noticed that she had disappeared. She looked at her fingertips, where the wound was no longer bleeding.
Thinking of that space, Meng Yuxuan's whole person relaxed a lot. She thought that if Shangguan Huan was still unwilling to take her in, she would not have to worry about sleeping on the streets with the space.
"Creek...... Creek ......"
A woman's voice was heard outside the courtyard.
Meng Yuxuan had just cleaned up the kitchen and was thinking about what to eat at night when she heard a voice and walked out.
The woman outside the hospital was about forty or fifty years old, carrying a basket in her hand. She was dressed in patches, and her yellow face was full of wrinkles. Compared with Meng Yuxuan's small and tender face like a peeled egg, the woman is an ordinary poor peasant woman. When she saw Meng Yuxuan, a polite smile appeared on her old face, and her eyes were full of discomfort.
Meng Yuxuan used to see a lot of such peasant women when she was in the Li family. The maids in the house are all from poor backgrounds, and almost all the relatives in the family are such ordinary people. These people came to the Li family to find someone, and when they saw them, they all looked inferior. In fact, Meng Yuxuan really didn't understand why they couldn't raise their heads. They look glamorous, but they are just slaves with no freedom, and they can't live or die by themselves, and they are not as good as these ordinary farmers who can choose independently.
"Is there something wrong with my aunt?" Meng Yuxuan wiped her hands on her apron, walked out and said with a smile.
The clothes Meng Yuxuan brought were much better than those worn by ordinary farmers. However, she only had seven sets of clothes in total, and when they were worn out, they were gone, so she made an apron out of an old skirt to keep out the dust.
This woman is from the village. Meng Yuxuan couldn't call her name, she only knew that she had a good face.
"Miss Meng, I heard that Xi'er's father was injured, I have ten eggs here to give Xi'er's father to replenish his body." The woman rubbed her hands together and said embarrassedly.
"Auntie is polite. Everyone's life is not easy, I can't accept it. You still keep your eggs for the children at home to replenish their bodies. Meng Yuxuan didn't dare to accept it. That person looks like a face-loving person, if she accepts things from others like this, she thinks she likes to be greedy!
"You'll have to take it. If you don't accept it, you will look down on me. You didn't know when you first came that Xi'er's father has a great favor to our family! If it weren't for him, our family and my only son would have been eaten by the tigers in the mountains. This life-saving grace is remembered by our whole family and we dare not forget it for a moment. Xi'er's father doesn't eat it, and Xi'er also has to make up for his body. The woman hurriedly stuffed the basket into Meng Yuxuan's hand. By the way, you don't know me yet, do you? My surname is Lin, you can call me Aunt Lin. If you need help with something, you can go to the village to find your aunt. You're welcome. ”
Meng Yuxuan was worried that there was no way to get close to the people in the village, and Aunt Lin was just this breakthrough. In that case, then take it. It's a big deal to give her back the gift later.
"Thank you, auntie. Auntie come in and sit down for a while! Meng Yuxuan let in.
"No, no, no. The aunt doesn't sit. The little grandson of the family is inseparable from the aunt. Aunt Lin shook her hand and said. Miss Meng, Xi'er's father is going to trouble you to take care of it. Auntie heard that you want to leave, and here's a heart-wrenching word for you. You see that Xi'er's father was injured for you, even if you have to leave, can you take care of him for a few days? Xi'er's child is poor, his father is injured, if you leave, who will take care of him? Let's be human beings, don't lose our conscience, we must repay our kindness! Isn't that the reason, you say? ”
"Don't worry, auntie, I will take good care of their father and son." Meng Yuxuan listened patiently to Aunt Lin's words.
Aunt Lin saw her gentle smile, and the big stone in her heart was put down. She raised a relieved smile and said, "They said a lot about you earlier, and my aunt almost believed it. Now it seems that the folks have misunderstood you. Auntie looks at you as a good girl. In fact, Xi'er's father is a good match. After you get along, you will find that he is worthy of you except for his bad looks. ”
"Auntie......" Meng Yuxuan said helplessly: "Don't say that." I think he's pretty good. The wounds on the man's body are a symbol of heroism. ”
"If only you could think like that." Aunt Lin smiled lovingly: "Then I'm gone." Something called me. ”
"Thank you, auntie." Meng Yuxuan said embarrassedly: "After a while, I won't be so busy, and Yuxuan will come to the door to thank you." ”
"Thank you, thank you? I'm embarrassed to say it. Aunt Lin smiled innocently.
After Meng Yuxuan entered the house, she remembered that she forgot to ask Aunt Lin about the market. The wild sheep were left there, and if they wanted to sell them for more money, they had to go to the restaurant in the town and sell them early. If it is delayed for too long, the wild sheep will no longer be fresh and the price will be much less.
Never mind! Tomorrow I will go to the ox cart early, there will be an ox cart to go to the town, I guess it will not be too hard. By the way, buy some rice noodles and come back, after all, the rice jar has long been empty.
Shangguanxi's stomach is particularly delicate, and thick noodles cannot be eaten, only white noodles and white rice can be eaten. Shangguan Huan always buys the best rice for him to eat. Now she is in charge of the operation of this family, of course, she can't break the rules of their family, otherwise Shangguan Huan will be the first to refuse.
"Are you going to town?" Shangguan Xi stood at the door of the kitchen with an awkward look.
Meng Yuxuan looked up at him, the little guy's eyes turned around, but he didn't look at her. The awkward appearance is so cute that it makes people want to pinch his little face.
"Hmm. What are you going to buy? Meng Yuxuan looked at Shangguan Xi gently, her eyes full of kindness and encouragement.
The little one is willing to approach her again, and must not scare him, otherwise it will be difficult to gain his trust in the future.
"You...... Can you buy a few pounds of meat back? Shangguan Xi hung his head, and his white and tender little face was as red as a small apple.
