The little village girl dressed as a disaster star led the whole village astray

"I hope so." Li Changqing took a puff of his pipe, and his frown relaxed in the smoke.

……

On the way back, Madam Liu looked at Li Xi from time to time, but every time Li Xi looked over, she quickly avoided his gaze, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

Hu Zi felt that something was wrong between his mother and his sister. He took Li Xi's hand and looked between the two of them.

Li Xi had no intention of hiding her personality from the beginning. Now seeing her mother's expression, she must have realized that something was wrong with her.

Alas, Li Xi sighed in her heart. She had imagined this scene a long time ago, so she was not surprised. She just didn't expect that her mother only found out after she had traveled through time for several days.

From this we can see that her mother is indeed not a smart person. This family would be broken up without her.

Li Xi rubbed Hu Zi's shaking head and said, "I know what mother wants to say. Father is gone. From now on, there will be only three of us left at home. I have already died once, so I am not afraid of anything. I just want to protect mother, Hu Zi, and our family."

Hearing what Li Xi said, Madam Liu's eyes turned red again. Li Xi couldn't help but sigh in her heart. She was really impressed by her mother. Her eyes turned red at every turn. Tears were the most useless thing.

Li Xi has grown up strong and wild. In fact, she can't stand seeing people cry. But she traveled through time and space and met such a crying mother. What can she do? She can only coax her.

"Mom, don't cry, Huzi will protect you in the future." Huzi said with a fierce face. He also didn't like his mother crying all the time, and she didn't think she was strong at all.

Li Xi: "Mom, I heard from the old ladies in the village that if this person keeps crying, he will cry away his good fortune."

"Then don't cry anymore." Madam Liu's tears stopped abruptly.

Li Xi: …

It was the first time she saw someone who could turn back tears.

"I already have ideas about making money. I'm at home, mom, so don't worry."

Seeing her daughter being so sensible, Madam Liu wanted to cry again, but she subconsciously remembered what Li Xi had just said, that crying would drive away good fortune, and her eyes immediately dried up.

"Okay, mother, I will listen to you."

Madam Liu is a timid person. She used to rely on her husband, and now she relies on her daughter. Madam Liu accepted it very quickly.

After returning home, Madam Liu went to the kitchen to cook. Hu Zi followed Li Xi into the main room, squatted beside the backpack, and watched Li Xi pack up.

When Hu Zi saw Li Xi take out the Bungarus krait from the backpack, his eyes widened, his body subconsciously dodged backwards, fell on his buttocks, and said in fear, "Snake!"

"Well, don't be afraid, Huzi. The snake is dead." Li Xi said as she shook the snake in her hand. "I'll go to the city tomorrow and exchange it for money to buy candy for Huzi."

Seeing that the snake was really motionless, Hu Zi carefully approached it, but still did not dare to breathe, "Dad said that snakes are poisonous and not allowed to touch them."

Li Tiezhu used to be a soldier and was very skilled. When he was alive, he often went hunting in the mountains to pay off his debts. Hu Zi had seen snakes before, and he still remembered what his father said to him at that time.

He said that snakes are poisonous and should not be touched.

"Hu Zi is right, snakes are poisonous. Hu Zi can't touch them because he is a child. But I can touch them because I am an adult. Dad touched them too, right?" Li Xi said as she packed the herbs in the basket.

Her cheap father was right, it is better for children to stay away from dangerous creatures like snakes.

"There are snakes on the back hill. Huzi, you are not allowed to go there alone. Do you understand?"

Hu Zi glanced at the snake that his sister had placed on the ground and swallowed, "Well, Hu Zi knows. Hu Zi will not go."

"Well, Huzi is good." Li Xi said halfheartedly.

There weren't many things in the backpack to begin with, so she packed them up in a few seconds. Then she put them back into the backpack one by one and leaned it neatly against the corner. This was her first pot of gold, and everything depended on tomorrow.

After lunch, Li Xi told Liu Niangzi that he was going to the city tomorrow.

"Going to the city? What are you going to do in the city?" Madam Liu asked in confusion.

Madam Liu has lived for more than twenty years and has two children, but she has only been to the city once.

"I picked some herbs and other things in the mountains today. I want to take them to the city and try to see if they will accept them. It will be some income at least."

Li Xi didn't explain it in too much detail, for fear of scaring her. After all, ginseng and bungarus are also medicinal herbs.

"Medicinal herbs? What medicinal herbs?" Madam Liu looked at Li Xi in surprise, "Daya, why didn't I know you knew medicinal herbs?"

"My father taught me this when I followed him to the back mountain." Li Xi had already thought of a reason.

Sure enough, after hearing what Li Xi said, Madam Liu said no more. The nearest town to Lijiazhuang is Jiangning City. Although it is called the nearest, it is still twenty miles away, and it takes two hours to walk there on foot.

Uncle Erqiang in their village had a donkey. He would carry people to the city every ten days, and it cost two copper coins for a round trip.

"Mom will go with you." Madam Liu was worried about her going alone.

"It's nothing valuable. I can go alone. Mom, you just stay at home and look after Huzi until I come back."

Madam Liu said a few more words out of concern, but finally compromised and agreed to let Li Xi go into the city alone.

The next day, Li Xi got up early in the morning. When she got up, the sun had not yet risen and it was still dark outside.

However, although she got up early, Madam Liu got up even earlier. Seeing her get up, Madam Liu invited her to have breakfast in the kitchen. After breakfast, Li Xi put on her backpack and left the house.

In the darkness of night, Li Xi walked towards the entrance of the village. When she arrived, there were already three or two aunties from the village sitting on the donkey cart. They also carried backpacks, and they must be going to the city to exchange money.

They live in a mountain area, and although they may not have anything else, they still have game.

Li Xi stepped forward and called out "Uncle Erqiang", paid two copper coins, and got on the donkey cart.

The original owner rarely walked around in the village, so Li Xi did not find the corresponding memories of the people on the donkey cart. She could only smile shyly at them and pretend to be embarrassed to be on the donkey cart.

Instead, an auntie with a headscarf took the initiative to speak when she saw Li Xi, "Isn't this the daughter of Tiezhu's family? Are you going into the city?"

"Well, let's go into town and exchange some things."

Hearing her say this, an auntie with a big black mole on the corner of her mouth glanced at the backpack that Li Xi was holding in her arms, and said with a smile, "Oh, your backpack looks heavy. Let me see what's in it."

As she spoke, she reached out towards Li Xi's backpack, trying to lift the cloth covering it.

She placed the ginseng and the bungarus at the bottom, and when she lifted the cloth, she could only see a pile of Gastrodia elata. Li Xi was naturally not afraid of her opening it, but she hated her for being such a tactless person from the bottom of her heart.
