A koi spirit transmigrated into a book, becoming the daughter of a condemned official. As soon as she was born, her grandmother wanted to give her to a man-eating hunter. She could only cry and com...
Old Mrs. Zhu thought that the officials from the post station were causing trouble again, and she stood up nervously.
To everyone's surprise, when the door opened, Zhu Chenfeng was seen trembling as he staggered into the room.
"Mom, it's too cold outside."
When Grandma Zhu saw Zhu Chenfeng enter the room trembling, she hurriedly picked up a half-dry handkerchief and wiped his body.
"Come on, warm yourself by the fire."
However, after entering the room, Zhu Chenfeng looked around in surprise and asked in confusion.
"Mother, is this where we'll stay tonight?"
"Um."
As the old prince threw firewood into the brazier, he sighed and took out the ginger from his bundle.
"Luckily, the second son's wife and the third son's wife found some ginger before. I'll cook you some ginger soup, and you can each have a bowl to warm your stomachs."
[Grandma, is it because of those bad guys that you're unhappy?]
[Actually, those bad guys never have a good ending, Grandma, don't be sad.]
Zhu Xixi sensed Old Lady Zhu's low spirits and sadly pouted, her small face filled with worry.
As Liu was taking off her daughter's wet clothes, she heard her daughter muttering something and quickly looked up at her mother-in-law.
She quickly took off Zhu Xixi's clothes, unbuttoned her outer garment, placed her daughter on her chest, and then wrapped her daughter in the outer garment.
After wrapping her daughter up, she tied her clothes and came to the fire. Turning her head, she looked at her mother-in-law's figure and asked anxiously.
"Mother, you don't look well. Is something on your mind?"
Upon hearing this, Old Lady Zhu paused in her act of slicing ginger, buried her head in the shadows, and secretly choked back tears, not responding to Liu's question for a long time.
Upon seeing Old Lady Zhu's forlorn figure, the others hurriedly knelt around her and anxiously inquired about her situation.
"Mother, what's wrong?"
"Yes, you're not upset because this house is so bad, are you?"
"Mom, is your back hurting?"
Faced with everyone's barrage of questions, Grandma Zhu swallowed hard, her voice choked with emotion, and replied.
"My mother felt very bad that the refugees outside the post station suffered an undeserved disaster in order to get into the post station to take shelter from the rain."
Upon hearing Old Lady Zhu's words, everyone fell silent, and they all felt guilty at the same time.
Seeing that everyone was so downcast, Madam Liu could only sigh and speak first.
“Mother, we never expected the officials to be so cruel, to actually kill the refugees.”
"Yes, Mother, nowadays there are refugees everywhere, and with the constant warfare, we're likely to encounter similar situations again in the future. To put it bluntly, we need to adapt."
Although Sun was also indignant about what happened today, she could only adjust her mindset and gently comfort her mother-in-law, knowing that the road ahead would become increasingly difficult.
As Grandma Zhu listened to her daughter-in-law's analysis, she found it increasingly reasonable. She quickly wiped away her tears with her sleeve and let out a long sigh.
"Yes, we need to adapt to this situation as soon as possible."
After saying that, she carried the sliced ginger to the brazier, reverting to her usual decisive and efficient manner, and quickly assigned tasks to everyone.
"Second son's wife, third son's wife, go and get the rice, eggs, and cured meat. Second son, third son, Da Bao, and Xiao Bao, set up a rack and hang all the wet clothes to dry."
"Then let's see if we have a bathtub. After dinner, we can take a hot ginger bath to get rid of the cold."
Hearing the familiar instructions, everyone smiled with relief and went about their respective tasks.
Seeing everyone busy while she sat idly in front of the brazier, Liu wanted to take the iron pot from her mother-in-law.
"Mother, let me boil some ginger."
Grandma Zhu smiled and shook her head, looking at her granddaughter in Liu's arms, and nodded her chin at the goat in the corner.
“After such a long journey, Xixi must be hungry. Squeeze some goat milk and cook it for Xixi.”
If it weren't for Old Lady Zhu reminding her, Mrs. Liu would have almost forgotten about this matter, mainly because her daughter was too obedient.
Without crying or making a fuss, she completely forgot about feeding her daughter.
However, Zhu Xixi, who was fast asleep in her mother's arms, was not hungry at all. At this moment, she was traveling in Zhu Yanyan's space.
She discovered that although she could enter the space whenever she slept, she couldn't freely take things from it when she woke up.
This distressed her greatly, as she worried that her family wouldn't be able to find the food she threw out every time.
Just as she was sitting in the space, legs crossed and lost in thought, a mysterious force suddenly enveloped her.
Then a rainbow-shaped arch appeared in the white sky. She tilted her head curiously, kicked her chubby little legs and hands hard, and swam in the direction indicated by the arch.
Guided by the rainbow bridge, she swam to a square room that was entirely white.
She looked around blankly, her bright eyes blinking, her little mouth pouting, as she cautiously stretched out her finger to find the button for the door.
Suddenly, the white room opened its door, revealing an empty room with only a crystal tripod and a silver bracelet on it.
"What an adorable bracelet."
After seeing the bracelet emit a sparkling light, Zhu Xixi happily twirled in mid-air and then whooshed into the room to the crystal stand.
The crystal display case seemed to sense her presence, and the previously closed glass dome slowly opened after she approached.
Zhu Xixi was both surprised and delighted, circling around the silver bracelet, hesitant to pick it up.
How could there be a bracelet in Zhu Yanyan's space that is open to her? Zhu Xixi is very timid and dares not easily touch the unknown.
Just as she was frowning at the caterpillar, hesitating whether to pick it up, the instruction manual floated in mid-air from the crystal shelf.
The sudden appearance of the instruction manual startled Zhu Xixi. She flew out of the door in a flash and hid trembling by the doorway.
After a long while, it shakily poked its little head out, stared blankly at the instruction manual floating in mid-air, and made a soft, sweet voice.
"A four-dimensional space bracelet? It's a storage-type spatial item, but it's a small storage item with limited space."
"So this is storage space!"
After learning about the function of the silver bracelet, she excitedly circled in mid-air and then flew to the crystal stand in a flash.
After hesitating for a moment, I picked up the silver bracelet from the crystal display case.
The moment she picked it up, the silver bracelet seemed to sense her and quickly fastened onto her chubby wrist.
Zhu Xixi looked at her shiny wrist and happily spun around in circles.
"Xixi has a bracelet now! She has a space bracelet! I'm so happy!"
After getting the bracelet, she hurriedly flew out of the room and went to the food area first.
I selected fifty pounds of pork, fifty pounds of beef, fifty pounds of chicken, fifty pounds of duck, ten fish, ten pounds of shrimp, and five pounds of kelp from the fresh produce shelf.
Worried that she wouldn't have enough space for other things, she packed these items before flying to the grain and oil section.
They took 100 jin of rice, 100 jin of millet, 100 jin of wheat flour, 100 jin of oil, and other seasonings.
After packing these two types of food, a memory shortage warning suddenly appeared in her storage space. She panicked and hurriedly headed to the vegetable section, waving her hands.
When she arrived at the vegetable section, she could only pick out some scallions, ginger, garlic, star anise, Sichuan peppercorns, five catties of potatoes, five catties of sweet potatoes, five catties of cabbage, five catties of pumpkin, and five catties of radishes.
However, when she wanted to add more fruit, a red danger signal suddenly appeared in the space.
Left with no other choice, she pouted her pink lips in grievance and reluctantly left the space.
