Xiao Bai was lying on a wooden bed made of hay, feeling dazed, when he suddenly heard a rustling sound outside the door, followed by the sound of an animal gnawing on the door.
Xiao Bai jumped up from the bed!
Could there be a mouse? That was perfect! She was starving, and roasted mouse meat is still meat! Although she had secretly taken some wild vegetable steamed buns from the kitchen pot in the evening while the original owner's mother wasn't paying attention, she probably kept them warm in the pot on purpose. After all, she was the only child in the family, otherwise she wouldn't have let the original owner's mother drag her so far and not get married!
She rubbed her hands together excitedly, picked up a wooden board from under the bed, quietly touched the door, opened it, and looked excitedly in the direction of the sound, only to be met with a pair of scarlet eyes!
Damn! Isn't this a rat contaminated by dark matter?! This head is the size of three basketballs! There are actually contaminated rats in this place?!
The polluting rat didn't have as many inner thoughts as Xiao Bai. The moment it saw a stranger coming out, it jumped up with its fangs bared and pounced on the person in front of it. Fortunately, Xiao Bai was quick-eyed and quick-handed. He hit the rat's head with the wooden board in his hand. The "bang bang bang" sound woke up Zhang Cuihua's mother next door.
"Who is it? Why are you knocking in the middle of the night? Can't you let me sleep?!"
Aunt Zhang roared angrily, and then the sound of someone putting on clothes came from the next room.
When you see a mouse, it means that there are countless mice in the dark watching you. At this time, Xiao Bai did not dare to let Aunt Zhang, who was an ordinary person, come out. Although she no longer had spiritual power and cultivation, she had practiced martial arts after all, and could deal with ordinary polluted animals. So she quickly shouted to stop Aunt Zhang:
"Well... there's a mouse in front of my window. I'm beating it. Don't get up! Oh, and please close the door, or the mouse will run into your house!"
After stuttering for a while, she really couldn't say "mother", so she could only skip it.
Xiao Bai dug a hole and buried the contaminated rat, then went out to inspect the yard and closed the fence gate. Although the fence could not stop the small rats, it could stop the contaminated big rats for a while, which was better than nothing.
After not finding a second contaminated rat, she returned to her room to rest, but the village was destined to have no peace tonight.
Since rats contaminated by dark matter have appeared, it means that this world must also have spiritual energy and immortal cultivators, but...
Xiao Bai sat down cross-legged and continued to concentrate on sensing the spiritual energy around her. If she had not been certain that there was spiritual energy and had not focused her attention on capturing it, the thin spiritual energy in the air would have been almost imperceptible!
So, was it that this world was also just beginning to experience a spiritual resurgence? Or was it because there was no spiritual energy in her location? Or was it because her body lacked a spiritual core, so she couldn't sense spiritual energy?
Xiao Bai had no idea, all she could do was keep trying, so she continued to meditate until dawn.
To be honest, she had never practiced so hard before!
The next morning, Xiao Bai woke not to Aunt Zhang's roar, but to the familiar, brainwashing sound of "Ya Yi Ya Yi Wei." She was so startled she thought she'd gone back in time! Glancing at the surroundings, she saw the same dilapidated mud house, and her spirits instantly deflated. So, what on earth was going on?! Yesterday, she'd been experiencing olfactory hallucinations, and today, she'd even started experiencing auditory hallucinations!
Xiao Bai covered her ears and slumped into the haystack. She knew without hesitation that this must be related to her real world. Could it be that even though she had "traveled through time," she still had a connection with the afterlife? Could she smell and hear things from the afterlife? Then why couldn't she hear the people of the future speak?
"So, if we play music next to her ear like this, can she hear it?"
In Xiao Bai's room, Xiao's mother looked at the large speaker placed beside the bed, listening to the high-pitched, passionate and familiar divine song, and asked a soul-searching question.
"This...we don't know either! But we have to try! Isn't this the method used to wake up a vegetative patient?" My uncle calmly put two earplugs into his ears. He is old, and his heart can't stand listening to this kind of exciting music all the time.
Standing behind Mother Xiao, Father Xiao rolled his eyes and said unhappily, "Xiao Bai's soul has fallen into a deep sleep, but he hasn't turned into a vegetable!"
If it weren't for the fact that my uncle was older than me, he would have hit me! Saying that Xiaobai was a vegetable, isn't that a curse on the child?
"Oh, it's the same! We need to try all kinds of methods. First, use her favorite food, then some popular songs, and then find some familiar people to shout in her ear one by one. If that doesn't work, we can find a few spiritual masters to explore her sea of consciousness. No matter what, we can always find a way! Come on, let's change to another divine song, the most popular one recently!"
Since Uncle Grandpa said so, Xiao's father and mother had no choice. In addition, with the guarantee of Murong An and Shu Ling, they could only try this first.
Xiao Bai spent the entire morning in a daze, her ears constantly filled with the faint melody of familiar songs, the most popular songs of the moment! But when she tried to listen carefully, she couldn't make out the lyrics! In short, it was incredibly disturbing! Even Aunt Zhang's invitation to dinner had dampened her enthusiasm.
Of course, her lack of enthusiasm for eating was also largely due to the terrible food here. Breakfast was a coarse flour pancake with wild vegetables. The coarse flour pancake, though said to be flour, was actually just bran, making it very sore in the throat and impossible to swallow. And the wild vegetables—she remembered that wild vegetables in later generations weren't this bad. Why were the wild vegetables here so bitter and astringent?!
In the final analysis, it is because people in today's world have a hard time surviving. There is no oil for cooking, and very little salt is used. The cooking methods are very simple and there is not much seasoning. The wild vegetables are like they have been boiled in water. It would be strange if they taste good!
After struggling to finish a breakfast and barely deceiving her stomach, Xiao Bai finally had the mind to care about the situation in the village. The contaminated rat last night was definitely not an isolated one, and there must be more in the village. However, it was so dark last night, and with her current skills, she didn't dare to go to the village alone to investigate the situation in the dark, so she could only wait until dawn. It was time to go and see the situation in the village.
Before Xiao Bailin left, Aunt Zhang scolded her again, asking her to be honest and not to cause trouble at Wang's house. She nodded repeatedly, but ignored her words. She didn't dare to listen to Aunt Zhang's continued shouting at her, and ran back to the village.
Unexpectedly, nothing happened in his village. He didn't hear anyone shouting that there was a big rat in his house, nor did he see any contaminated rats in the village, let alone any cracks that were suspected to be leaking dark matter. Xiao Bai took a walk around and found nothing. He was walking home leisurely, but he didn't know that there was a commotion at home!
The Wang Laoer family from the next village came to cause trouble again!
