Exiled in a Famine Year, the Peasant Girl is Spoiled by a Powerful Official

Shen Xinli transmigrated one day to become a seven-year-old peasant girl. Originally, she held no hope for her new life, but the care and love from her family changed her perspective.

Transmi...

Chapter 3 Python "Ahua"

The next morning, Chen Xinli was still awakened by the shock.

The thatch from the roof mixed with dirt suddenly hit her face. It was cold and scared her so much that she thought it was snake skin touching her body, and she subconsciously pulled it away with her hands.

This small bed, less than 1.2 meters in size, is covered with straw, and the quilt, which is wrapped with a few pieces of rags, seems to be stuffed with straw as well.

In addition to the grass, there were also some large and small lumps of earth on the bed, which probably fell from the roof.

Chen Xinli sat up, looking at her tattered clothes and the marks left by mosquitoes on her arms, and couldn't help but sigh:

This family is really not poor.

Fortunately, it's summer now. If winter had come, it would have been fatal. I wonder how this family managed to survive? Is it because they relied on their righteousness to withstand the cold winter?

Chen Xinli just felt it was too difficult!

This family not only lacks food, but also clothes and quilts...

Of course, the most important thing is lack of money!

I remembered that I had a brief conversation with the python in my dream yesterday, and I was sure that it really didn't want to eat me, but was my pet.

I had to muster up the courage to enter the forest in the space.

"Master, Master, you finally come to see me."

"Hiss, hiss, I'm not a snake spirit, I'm Ah Hua!"

As soon as Chen Xinli entered, she saw a giant python floating towards her quickly.

Its bulky body does not affect its movement at all.

Reluctantly resisting retreat, Chen Xinli grabbed a wooden stick from the forest and used it as a weapon, a fierce look in her eyes.

"Master, you are so fierce, you scared me."

The big snake stopped two meters away, opening and closing its mouth.

Chen Xinli lived for twenty-eight years in her previous life, and had never seen a snake that could talk.

But the python in front of her made her doubt her own understanding.

"You...you can really speak?"

"Yes, Master."

“…”

The python quickly explained, "Master, I am really your pet. My name is Ah Hua, not Snake Spirit. This is your space, and I am here to protect you."

After saying this, the python shook its head in grievance.

Chen Xinli: "..."

I've never seen a snake act coquettishly, it's really a bit... eye-catching!

She has been afraid of snakes since she was a child, especially the one in front of her. It is much bigger than her small body. If it swallows her, it probably won’t be full.

Chen Xinli felt like she was being teased.

"I don't eat humans, let alone my master, except... except for the first time I took a light bite, and that was to help you awaken the space..."

The big python seemed to understand the fear of its little master and lowered its head like a wronged little boy.

No wonder I felt like I was bitten by something before the bracelet disappeared.

It turned out that it was this snake that did it.

Feeling the sincerity of the python, that is, Ah Hua, Chen Xinli planned to establish a friendly relationship with it.

"Ahem! Ahem! I'm sorry, I apologize. I didn't mean to call you a snake spirit."

"It's okay, Master, I like you, you're not stupid!"

Are you trying to get along with a fool?

Chen Xinli's heart was wailing.

As the python spoke, it rubbed against her, and the cold touch made her whole body numb.

But he had to suppress his inner restlessness and silently accept the snake's kindness.

However, when she saw many eggs in the temporary chicken coop in the mountains, she was instantly overjoyed.

"Um, can I have some eggs?"

“Of course, the entire space is yours to use as you please.

"Sister...Sister...Are you awake?"

“It’s time to eat!”

The little boy jumped into the house, and Chen Xinli had to quickly concentrate and exit the space.

Four-year-old Shen Jinlin stared at her with his big eyes and snuggled up to her.

Wu Yuehua brought in a bowl of food, which was the same porridge as yesterday.

But today, Chen Xinli didn't plan to eat in bed. She wanted to get to know this home and this world as soon as possible.

"...Mother, I'm fine now. I want to go out for dinner."

"No, Doctor Lu said you need to rest well."

"But Doctor Lu also said that staying healthy also requires more sun exposure.

I'm really well now, and I want to have dinner with my mom, dad, brothers and sisters."

Wu Yuehua was a little surprised at her daughter's sudden change of personality.

Thinking that she was still sick, he held her in one hand and carried the bowl in the other as he walked out the door.

In the small courtyard outside the house, the family's breakfast was placed on a small table.

Chen Xinli looked at it for a long time before she realized that it was a steamed bun.

To be precise, it is a steamed bun made from the bran ground from the husks of crops, mixed with flour ground from some unknown crop and chopped wild vegetables.

Gray and green.

I broke off a small piece with my hands and put it in my mouth, and almost swallowed it——

Too dry!

Looking at the appearance of the steamed bun, bran accounts for at least half of it. Because it contains little flour and is not fermented with yeast or sugar, it is dry and hard.

But the whole family was very satisfied with the meal.

Even Shen Jinlin's little mouth was full of food, like a little hamster.

The eldest brother dropped a piece of steamed bun the size of his little fingernail and it broke onto the ground. He immediately picked it up and put it into his mouth, as if this steamed bun was the most delicious thing.

This scene made Shen Xinli feel distressed.

In the previous life, this kind of steamed bun was probably used to feed pigs!

Unexpectedly, here, this crude steamed bun is a treasure cherished by this family.

Chen Xinli didn't know that due to food shortages, the Shen family and even most of the villagers in Qianniu Village hadn't had the habit of eating breakfast for a long time.
