Chapter 24 But sister, you are a snake, how are you going to repay me?

“Crack.”

“Crack.”

“Crack.”

In the courtyard, Xiao Mo was chopping wood non-stop.

Under the eaves of the dilapidated wooden house, a little white snake looked at the eleven-year-old boy seriously.

This is already her third day here.

During these three days, the little boy named Xiao Mo would catch mice for himself to eat every day.

I change my dressing every day.

The little white snake didn't know why he was so nice to her.

I am just a snake.

And he is a person

Another half month passed.

The little white snake felt that his injuries were almost healed.

She bit open the cloth wrapped around her body, and her flesh had grown back, but the scales had not grown back yet, which looked a bit ugly.

But it doesn't matter.

The little white snake climbed onto the beam and looked towards Sheshan: "It's time to go back, otherwise Xiaoqing will worry about me."

But the little white snake felt that he could not leave without saying goodbye.

I have to wait for him to come back and say goodbye to him.

In the evening, the setting sun fell on the horizon, and everything in the world was dyed red by the sunset.

A young cowherd rode a big black cow and walked slowly home.

After the little boy tied up the big black ox outside the door, he walked into the courtyard and shouted, "Xiaobai, I'm back."

The little white snake came down from the beam and crawled to Xiao Mo's side, spitting out its tongue, then turned around and showed him its wound.

"Hey? Are you healed?" Xiao Mo saw Xiaobai's wound. Although the scales had not grown back yet, they were almost there.

The little white snake nodded and looked towards the mountain in the distance.

"Do you want to leave?" Xiao Mo felt that he understood what Xiaobai meant.

The little white snake nodded again.

"Alright." Xiao Mo's eyes flashed with disappointment, and then he said in the innocent tone of an eleven-year-old, "Then go ahead. Be careful next time and don't get hurt again."

"Hiss, hiss, hiss~"

The little white snake stuck out its tongue, as if agreeing to Xiao Mo, and crawled out of the yard.

Outside the courtyard, the little white snake turned around and glanced at the little boy.

When the little boy saw Xiaobai turning around, he waved and shouted, "Xiaobai, don't get hurt again."

“Hiss.”

The little white snake shook its tail, saying goodbye to him like a human hand, then crawled into the grass and disappeared.

"well"

After the little white snake left, Xiao Mo sighed.

How can I help her transform into a dragon?

After this farewell, it may be difficult to see each other again.

As for forcing her to stay, that was even more impossible.

Not to mention what kind of opportunities it could have if it stayed with an ordinary person like me.

She wanted to leave, but I still forced her to stay, which would only turn this good relationship into a bad one.

"Do your best and leave the rest to God. That's the only way."

Xiao Mo gathered his thoughts and walked back to the house.

Now that things have come to this, let’s read first.

The village chief is an old scholar who teaches the children in the village to read and write.

Xiao Mo plans to go and have a look tomorrow.

"elder sister!"

After the little white snake returned to the cave in the mountains, a little green snake saw its sister, crawled over happily, and entangled with her.

"Sister, where have you been this past month?" Xiaoqing said, looking at her sister worriedly. "I've been looking for you for a long time, worried that something might have happened to you."

"A few days ago, I was catching mice for food, but I was targeted by an eagle. I managed to escape with some injuries, but a human saved me," Xiaobai said briefly. "He even gave my sister a name."

"Name?" Xiaoqing tilted her head.

"Yes." The little white snake nodded. "He said I was as white as snow, so he named me Bai Ruxue. How about that? Doesn't it sound nice? I'll take you to see him someday and ask him to give you a name too."

"Sister," Xiaoqing said helplessly, "Humans are not good people. People often go up the mountain to catch snakes. Have you forgotten, sister?"

"But Xiaoqing, I think many things cannot be generalized. For example, snakes are all different. You are blue and I am white. What's more, people are different. There are bad people and good people in this world."

"Humph!" Xiaoqing turned her head away, "Everyone is bad!"

"But he saved me."

"That's bad too!"

"But he saved me."

"Sister." Xiaoqing was so angry that she slapped her tail on the stone.

"Okay." Xiaobai's tail touched the tip of Xiaoqing's tail, "Xiaoqing, believe me, he is really a good man, and he saved my life, I have to repay him."

"But sister, you are a snake, how are you going to repay me?"

"Emm" the little white snake thought about it seriously.

Suddenly, the little white snake's eyes lit up: "I got it."

"Yes?"

"Yes," the little white snake raised its tail and waved it like a little girl's finger. "Sister, from today on, you must practice hard and strive to transform into a human form as soon as possible, so that you can repay your kindness."

"You want to study?"

In the small courtyard, the old village chief Wang Can looked at Xiao Mo.

On the stone table in the yard were the herbs that Wang Can had picked up the mountain today.

"Yes, Village Chief." Xiao Mo raised his head, his eyes filled with a desire for knowledge, "I want to study!"

"What are you reading, little kid?"

Just at this moment, the village chief's wife came out.

"What's the point of studying? Look at my old man. He studied all his life, but he's still just a scholar. How much money does he have? My uncle is a blacksmith in town. Next year, I'll send you there as an apprentice. If you learn a good skill, you'll never starve."

"Mom, I want to study too~" The nine-year-old girl cheered beside her mother.

"Go away, girls don't need to study. Finding a good family to marry is the serious thing. You must never be like your mother and marry a useless scholar. Do you understand?"

"Oh." The little girl nodded, not quite understanding.

Xiao Mo, Village Chief: "."

According to the memories of "Xiao Mo" in this life, Xiao Mo knows the situation in the village chief's home.

The village chief is fifty-three years old, and his wife Chen Hong is ten years younger than him.

The couple had a child in their old age, a daughter named Wang Yan, who is now nine years old.

Although Aunt Chen always disliked the village chief, she never left him and kept the house in order.

"If you can read, read. If you can't, just knowing a few words is fine."

The village chief sighed and said to Xiao Mo.

"Mo'er, don't listen to your Aunt Chen's nonsense. Starting tomorrow, you will go to the thatched cottage in the village to attend the class. However, the children in this village and the two neighboring villages have paid for sex, so I can't let you go inside to listen. You can just listen outside, okay?"

Xiao Mo was delighted and quickly said, "Thank you, Village Chief."

"Humph, study and study. Studying will make you starve to death."

Aunt Chen curled her lips and walked into the house with her daughter.

"Don't listen to what your Aunt Chen says." The village chief whispered, "Look, I'm not starving to death, am I?"

"." Xiao Mo's brows twitched. He really wanted to say, "If it weren't for Aunt Chen, you would have starved to death long ago."

But Xiao Mo still nodded seriously: "The village chief is right!"
