Chapter 2 The Book of Life and Death!
Little Yuanbao fell asleep on the desk of her father, Prince Yan, last night.
Her father was marking the Book of Life and Death at that time. She accompanied him at first, reading with great interest and asking questions from time to time. But later she could not hold on any longer and fell asleep.
Who made her just a 300-year-old baby!
When I woke up, I found myself in a strange place.
Where is this?
Looks like a straw hut?
It's drafty everywhere. It's so cold.
My stomach is empty and I'm a little hungry.
It's actually daylight outside. Is there daylight?
Xiao Yuanbao suddenly remembered the noises from before...
Eh? Has she come to the world of the living?
She saw her hands and feet clearly. These were not her hands and feet. She was round and chubby, but her hands and feet were so skinny.
At this moment, her little nose moved. It smelled so good!
It’s the smell of meat!
Just as I was thinking about it, the straw curtain in the thatched hut was lifted, and a young woman came in, followed by a few little kids.
"Sister is awake!" the little kids said happily.
The young woman held a bowl of food in her hand and said to Xiao Yuanbao kindly, "Xiao Yuanbao, you must be hungry. This is the pheasant meat that your elder brother just brought back from the mountains. Mother has cooked chicken soup. Please have some."
It's winter now and it's snowing. There are fewer prey in the mountains. Even strong hunters can't catch much. Dabao is only ten years old, and he went into the mountains today and hunted a pheasant. He is considered extremely lucky.
It was only such a small one, so everyone subconsciously gave the little Yuanbao the first bite.
…
Here, little Yuanbao looked at them stupidly.
Why do the Book of Birth and Death appear above these people’s heads?
Name, age, life story, death date, cause of death...
The young woman's head shows that she was Ms. Cai, 20 years old, the adopted daughter of Cai Tiezhu from Caijiagou, married to Tang Laosi from Tangjia Village, and died at the age of 22. The cause of death was that she was abducted and raped by bandits and committed suicide.
The eldest brother after Cai was named Tang Zhong, who was ten years old and Cai's step-eldest son. He died at the age of twelve. The cause of death was that he was stabbed to death by bandits on the way to the imperial examination.
There were two little ones left. One was called Tang Yi, eight years old, Cai's second son. He died at the age of twenty-eight. The cause of death was treason and he was beheaded.
The other one was Tang Ting, six years old, Cai's third son, who died at the age of seven. The cause of death was that he was beaten to death by a blind bear while protecting his younger sister Xiao Yuanbao...
…
Aren’t these... the people who were listed in the Book of Life and Death that she secretly looked at in her father, Prince Yan’s palace yesterday?
How did he become a living person?
And her? ?
Her current name seems to be Tang Yuanyuan, and she is the youngest stepdaughter of the Cai family?
His nickname is Xiao Yuanbao, and he is three and a half years old this year?
Little Yuanbao is confused!
How did she change from a little princess of the underworld to a little milk ball from a farm?
Are you having a dream?
Little Yuanbao shook his head and groaned, "Wake up, wake up quickly..."
The two pigtails on the little bunny's head were swaying from side to side.
Seeing this, Cai asked, "Little Yuanbao, are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
The three little kids were also worried, "Did grandma hit her on the head with the stick?"
"I'll go get the doctor!"
…
Dabao was about to go out when he saw his sister mumbling with her pink lips, "Forget it if she can't wake up, let's eat some meat and drink some soup first! They smell so good!"
Suddenly, everyone was shocked!
Oh my god!
Is there anything wrong with their ears?
Cai couldn't even hold the bowl of chicken soup in her hand. She asked excitedly, "Xiao Yuanbao, did you just speak?"
The three boys also stared at their sister closely.
Guilt flashed across the little kid's big, watery eyes. "I'm hungry. I...want to eat some meat and drink some soup first. Is that okay?"
"OK! OK! OK!" Cai said the word "OK" three times in a row.
The three treasures beside him jumped up with joy!
"Brother, brother, our sister can speak now! She is no longer dumb!"
Erbao smiled happily on his pale face, "That's great, my sister is a blessing in disguise this time, she can actually speak."
Dabao reached out and touched the little kid's head without saying anything, his eyes full of doting.
Cai was so excited that she wiped her tears while feeding soup to little Yuanbao.
The little milk ball drank it with a smacking sound, his eyebrows flying up with joy, "Mmm, delicious!"
Sanbao and the others couldn't help swallowing their saliva when they saw this, for fear that their drool would fall and their sister would laugh at them.
Several people went out to work.
The thatched hut was built in a hurry and was only half built. It needed to continue to be built, otherwise it would fall down if the wind blew at night.
Among the three brothers, Erbao is the weaker physically, so he uses his brain, while Dabao and Sanbao use the strength.
We were making rapid progress by working together, but I was feeling hungry.
"Brother, are we impulsive? If you hadn't come back, we would have moved out of Lao Tang's house..." Erbao said.
Dabao was busy with his hands, "It's okay, this day was bound to happen sooner or later. Fortunately, we had the foresight to prepare so much straw, so we can build a place to squat."
San Bao added, "Yes, if we don't move out, they will sell our sister and not give her a chance to live. They are such wicked people! They deserve to have their house destroyed..."
I felt inexplicably relieved when I thought about how Old Tang’s house collapsed for no apparent reason.
He added, "We don't have enough to eat or wear warm clothes at Old Tang's house. We still have to rely on our eldest brother to secretly hunt in the mountains to avoid starving to death. What's the point of staying at Old Tang's house?"
Erbao said in a deep voice, "You can't say that. Big brother is lucky today. He hunted a pheasant. We may not have food tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Besides, we are young and have no father to protect us. We are orphans and widows. If we live alone, we will be bullied."
The three brothers were silent.
It's all true.
Dabao said, "I will protect you from now on."
He is ten years old. Isn't it said that an elder brother is like a father?
He planned to go hunting deep into the mountains with the old hunter in the village. The big risks would bring corresponding big rewards, but if he was not careful, he would be trapped and unable to get out.
Sanbao was indignant. "Dad's relief food is over 100 kilograms, but Old Tang's family didn't give us even a kilogram... I'm not afraid of having no food. I'm hungry, and if I really can't do it, I can even eat leaves. I just want to give my sister a bite to eat."
At this time, little Yuanbao in the shed had eaten and drunk enough, and his chubby little face was full of satisfaction.
Listen to the conversation outside.
It seems that these brothers in the dream are very nice to her!
Her brothers are good to her, so she should also be good to them.
Can't find food at home? They just gave her some meat to eat.
She turned her little head around, and it seemed like she knew where to find food...
That bad guy’s home!
The relief and food should belong to her and her brothers.
Not allowed to take it out.
Not a grain of food was given to them.
And beat and scolded them.
Bad guy!
Humph, this is not a problem for her little Yuanbao.
When Cai went out and little Yuanbao was the only one left in the straw hut, she stood up and performed a trick in a very serious manner.
“Huluhuhu…Five Ghosts Moving Technique, now!”
After pinching, he was panting and cheering.
Five transparent little ghosts appeared in front of Xiao Yuanbao with confused faces.
"I am willing to serve my master!"
Little Yuanbao muttered a few words in a low voice, and they understood what he meant.
Suddenly he walked out of the straw hut and headed towards Lao Tang's house.
