Li Yirou was ready to pull out the wooden stick from space for defense at any time. Her hair stood on end when she was stared at by her and she was extremely nervous.
Zhang Cuicui's eyes seemed to want to kill her.
Unexpectedly, after staring at each other for a while, Zhang Cuicui actually gave in, and the fierceness in her eyes faded a little. "Why don't you go out and wash the dishes? I told you a few words and you learned to talk back."
Seeing that she didn't take any further action, Li Yiru felt more and more uneasy.
Zhang Cuicui has a bad temper and is a bad person by nature. How could she let her go so easily? She must be planning something big.
Although Li Yirou is a student who just graduated from high school, she is naturally smart. She has also experienced the fickleness of human nature due to her parents' divorce. Her ability to read people's expressions is first-class among her peers. How could she not notice Zhang Cuicui's abnormality?
Something was wrong, and she had to act quickly.
Because of Zhang Cuicui's abnormal behavior today, she couldn't sleep well and wished she could keep an eye on her.
She woke up the next day in a daze and just sat up from the haystack, which was her bed. The first thing that came to her mind was space, and then she wanted to go in.
A mysterious feeling came over her, and Li Yiru took the opportunity to grab a handful of hay and entered again. She took a deep breath of the mist in the space and was immediately kicked out.
I only had time to make out a thick fog.
She wanted to stand firmly and not fall when she went out, but she didn't expect that the place where she came out had changed and was now next to the haystack.
"Awake?" Before Li Yirou could gather her thoughts, Zhang Cuicui pushed the door open and emerged from the bedroom. "Go out and gather some firewood."
Li Yirou raised an eyebrow. His attitude had really changed? Could she believe it?!
"Yes, auntie." She imitated the original owner's timid appearance, picked up the backpack and left.
Collect firewood? Haha, she went straight to the old house.
She wanted to see how Zhang Cuicui would react if she returned empty-handed.
.
In the early morning, the fields of Linxian Village were covered with mist, and the faint smell of sea waves was floating in the air. The Yaer Mountain in the distance was a rich green. The morning light shone on this land, and the scenery was unparalleled.
If it weren't for such an uncle and aunt, this small village by the sea and backed by the mountains would be a real paradise.
As Li Yirou walked, her ears moved slightly. There seemed to be someone in the distance. She didn't want to deal with it, so she turned around and hid behind a tree, waiting for those people to pass by.
"Hey, hey, hey, have you really seen an immortal?!" The young man's voice was not loud and was far away, but Li Yiru could hear it clearly.
"Of course, that was fifteen years ago. He said he was coming to our village to recruit disciples. He dropped from the sky, his whole body seemed to be shining. I will never forget it."
When the middle-aged man talked about this, he couldn't help showing off his knowledge and said a lot of things. Basically, the immortals selected children under the age of fifteen to test their spiritual roots. Those with spiritual roots were taken back to their sect and would become immortals in the future.
Li Yirou originally thought that he was telling a story, but there was no order in the man's words. He spoke a lot and mixed up his words with his own rich psychological descriptions. It was obvious that he was recalling.
Could this be a world of immortal cultivation? !
Before she could finish her shock, the people were getting farther and farther away. Li Yirou followed behind them, and another piece of crucial information reached her ears. "The village chief said that the immortal is coming again this year, tomorrow! Anyone under the age of 15 in our village can go and try."
Li Yiru tightly gripped the straps of the backpack. She had space. Could she be the chosen one? Should she give it a try?
She is cautious by nature, and this space is a treasure and her reliance.
But a man is innocent but guilty of possessing a treasure. If someone sees through it, she will get into trouble. After all, it is not a natural treasure. It appeared because she picked up the stone. Will it be taken away by someone?
She had no idea what it was like to cultivate immortality, nor did she know what magical powers the people there had.
Li Yirou didn't hear any more useful information, so she stopped following those people and turned to go to the old house, picking up small straw mats along the way.
Her mind was constantly busy. The more confused she was, the more busy her hands were. She wondered what she should do and how she should do it.
Li Yiru had to keep her promise to give Taxue the mat, so she entered the dilapidated house and found Taxue snoring in the corner.
He seemed to know it was her, and moved his ears. He was not afraid, nor did he look up.
Li Yiru laughed and sat beside it to continue weaving the mat. Unknowingly, the whole morning passed. She was so focused on her thoughts that she didn't know when Taxue started to sleep on her crossed legs.
"You will feel comfortable." Li Yiru put the woven mat next to it, nodded its little head, stretched out on the snow, stepped on the mat, and then left.
Don't like it? Li Yirou pinched her sore fingers. The straw mat was clean and cool. What a pity.
Then Taxue came out from somewhere again, holding two sparrows in his mouth, and pushed them to Li Yiru's feet again.
This familiar feeding...
Then it continued to lie on the mat and went back to sleep.
Is this a thank you gift? It's so cute.
Li Yiru picked up some dead branches, dug up some wild vegetables, and roasted some birds to make a meal.
"Taxue, should I go and practice Taoism?" Li Yiruo sat beside it after eating, but she was just talking to herself with no one to talk to.
"Meow!" Taxue responded softly, but the tone was lowering, as if to confirm. Li Yiru smiled, touched it, and made up her mind.
When I went back home in the evening, Li Chang was there too. The man was good-looking, but there was a calculation in his eyes. "Xiao Rou is old enough."
He exchanged a glance with Zhang Cuicui, then turned his head and said something casually. Li Yiru's heart began to beat fast.
For the first time, the two of them said to her in a friendly manner, "Come and have dinner."
Zhang Cuicui didn't even check whether she brought back firewood.
The two people's behavior was too obvious, and Li Yiru understood almost instantly. Yes, in ancient times, a girl of fourteen or fifteen was supposed to get married, and these two beasts were probably going to sell her for a betrothal gift!
Li Yirou's face remained as quiet and obedient as ever, and neither of them said anything more to her. Only their son, Li Yijin, said, "How dare you, a bitch, sit next to me for dinner!"
But she was slapped by Li Chang instead. Zhang Cuicui felt distressed and asked, "Why did you hit Xiaobao?"
Li Chang didn't tolerate her either. "I can hit whoever I want. Who do you think you are to control how I educate my son?"
Their daughter Li Yiru remained silent. She was not a favored son, and if she said anything more at this moment, she might be beaten or scolded.
Li Yirou was speechless. These two were like a powder keg every day. After a quarrel, they would start fighting. After the fight, they would take their anger out on the original owner and play mixed doubles against her.
She didn't say anything, but their son suddenly burst into tears.
"Okay, let's eat quickly. Look how scared the children are." Li Changxian gave in, and Zhang Cuicui also fell silent.
Li Yirou wanted to laugh, and in order to calm her down, she actually pretended to be a kind couple to them.
Only after seeing them pick up their chopsticks did Li Yirou dare to take a small bite, just in case they tried to drug her.
After dinner, Li Yirou cleaned up as usual, but Zhang Cuicui suddenly handed her a piece of clothing and said, "This is the dress I wore when I was young. It's been altered to be smaller. Try it on."
"I was wrong before. I didn't notice that your clothes were worn out." Pretended kindness always seemed too inconsistent, and Li Yiruo sneered.
