Chapter 25 She Doesn't Tell, He Doesn't Ask
Winter comes and summer goes.
Three more years passed during Xiao Mo's second "life experience" in Bai Shi Shu.
For three years, Xiao Mo herded cattle, picked herbs, and went to the village thatched cottage to listen to lectures by the old village chief every day.
However, Xiao Mo could only attend classes outside the private school.
This is actually quite good, as I can also herd cattle at the same time.
Although Xiao Mo is a child, the soul in his body is indeed that of an adult.
In addition, Chinese characters are commonly used in this world, so Xiao Mo saved a lot of time on learning characters and learned very quickly.
The village chief was shocked and surprised that he had discovered a potential student.
In the opinion of the village chief, if Xiao Mo studies hard and learns to read and write, he might actually be able to pass the imperial examination.
By that time, Shiqiao Village will really have light.
However, the village chief did not praise Xiao Mo in person to prevent him from becoming proud and complacent.
However, the village chief would privately lend Xiao Mo a few books from his collection from time to time, and told him that if Xiao Mo didn't understand something, he could come to the yard and ask him at any time.
Xiao Mo was not ignorant. He would leave some of the herbs and fruits he picked every day for the village chief.
So, when Xiao Mo went up the mountain to collect herbs and took a rest, he would open a book and read. When he was herding cattle, he would sit on the cow's back and open a book and read.
There is nothing to do at night. If the weather is good, Xiao Mo will read under the moonlight.
As for that little white snake.
Xiao Mo hasn't seen it in the past three years, and he doesn't know where the little white snake has gone.
Come spring, all things come back to life.
Early that morning, Xiao Mo got up early and led the cow of Uncle Liu from the village up the mountain.
As usual, Xiao Mo was herding cattle while reading a book.
"Hey! That guy on the bull!"
Just as Xiao Mo was riding on a cow and reading a book, a clear and pleasant female voice came from not far away.
Xiao Mo looked up and saw a young girl in her teens standing not far away with her hands on her hips.
The girl was wearing a white dress that covered her feet, and her long black hair just didn't reach her waist.
The girl's skin was very white, even glowing faintly in the spring sun. Under her long eyelashes, the corners of her peach blossom eyes were slightly raised like a cat's tail, as if outlining the entire spring scenery.
Beneath her straight and beautiful nose, her pale pink lips held a pure and gentle smile.
On the mountain, a beautiful girl suddenly appeared, and her white dress was spotless.
Everyone knows that it is strange, and Xiao Mo is no exception.
However, Xiao Mo roughly guessed who the other party was.
Because a white tail was sticking out from under her skirt.
I didn't expect that.
In just three years, she will transform.
According to Xiao Mo's knowledge, it takes at least twenty years for a demon to transform.
No wonder Bai Shishu said she was gifted.
Perhaps the drop of true dragon blood that she accidentally obtained also played a significant role.
Xiao Mo dismounted the ox, walked forward and bowed, pretending to know nothing: "May I know who the young lady is?"
"I am I"
The girl thought to herself, "Oh no!" and her big, watery eyes rolled around.
I just learned how to transform today, and happened to see him riding a bull, so I came over without thinking, but forgot to prepare any words.
"I came up the mountain to enjoy the spring. Who are you?" the girl asked.
"I'm from Shiqiao Village, my name is Xiao Mo. May I know your name, young lady?"
"Me~" The girl pointed at herself with her white index finger, her eyes curved, "My name is Bai Ruxue."
"Bai Rushue." Xiao Mo muttered the name.
"What's the matter?" The girl bent down with her hands behind her back and looked up at Xiao Mo. "Is my name not nice?"
"It sounds nice." Xiao Mo nodded, "It just reminded me of a little white snake I saved before. I gave her a name that's the same as the girl's."
"That's just a coincidence. I'm not a snake. I'm a human! That's right! A human!" Bai Ruxue's eyes moved left and right, and then her gaze became firm.
Xiao Mo smiled and said, "I didn't say the girl was a snake."
Bai Ruxue: “.”
"Girl, it's spring now. There are many wild animals and snakes and insects on the mountain. It's better for you to go down the mountain as soon as possible." Xiao Mo took the initiative to change the subject and resolved the embarrassment for her.
Three years have passed, and this little white snake still seems a little bit not very smart.
"Don't worry, I'm familiar with this mountain." Bai Ruxue waved her hand proudly. "By the way, your cow looks very interesting. Can you take me for a ride? As a reward, I can give you this."
Bai Ruxue took out a piece of silver.
She found this in the mountains.
Xiao Mo shook his head: "That's not necessary. If the girl wants to ride the bull, just get on."
"Thank you, you're such a nice person."
Bai Ruxue twisted her body and walked to the side of the cow.
Xiao Mo patted the big black bull's head. The big black bull grunted and squatted down.
Just when Bai Ruxue lifted her skirt and wanted to get on the cow.
A white snake tail was revealed.
Bai Ruxue's cheeks flushed, and she quickly lowered the hem of her skirt: "You were mistaken just now. I'm not a snake! I'm a human. Look, this is a human foot."
Bai Ruxue lifted her skirt slightly again, revealing a pair of small feet wearing white cloud-patterned embroidered shoes, and faint veins could be seen on her snow-white ankles.
"It seems I've been reading too much recently and my eyesight is a little blurry." Xiao Mo cooperated with the girl, "Girl, come up quickly."
"Oh oh oh" Bai Rushue climbed onto the big black bull and sat sideways on its back.
Xiao Mo also got on the bull and sat astride in front of Bai Rushue.
Big Black Bull stood up, Bai Rushue was startled and quickly grabbed the corner of Xiao Mo's clothes.
On a spring day, the big black bull walked casually up the mountain, taking a bite here and a bite there.
Xiao Mo rode on the ox's back, flipping through the books in his hand.
"Are you reading?" The girl behind him asked curiously after secretly putting silver into Xiao Mo's pocket.
"Yeah." Xiao Mo nodded.
“Is reading fun?”
“Not very fun.”
"Then why do you want to study?"
"Well, because I want to pass the imperial examination."
"Why do you want to take the imperial examination?"
"Only by passing the imperial examinations can one enter the court and become an official."
"What does it mean to be an official in the court?"
On the cow's back, the girl had a hundred thousand questions in mind.
Xiao Mo couldn't read the book anymore, so he simply closed it and answered the girl's "100,000 Whys".
It was not until the evening that Xiao Mo said, "Miss, I'm going down the mountain."
"Oh, okay then." A hint of disappointment flashed across the girl's eyes, and she jumped off the cow's back with her little feet. "Then I'll go home too."
"Where does the girl live? I can give her a ride."
"No need to see me off, no need to see me off. I can go back by myself. Goodbye." The girl waved her hand quickly and trotted into the woods.
But as the girl ran, her small feet in embroidered shoes turned into a white snake tail under her skirt.
Xiao Mo smiled.
She didn't say.
He didn't ask.
