In my 40s, the trading system took me flying

Xu Xiaoya pinched the squirrel's tail with a proud look on her face.

She also didn't expect that the space had such a function, which was to directly collect any existence that could threaten her into the space.

The key point is that being put into space does not mean that you can still live in the space, but that time stops.

Xu Xiaoya had thought about this question and had always been curious about whether the space could take in living things, and if so, would they die? But now it has been proven that living things can enter, but time will stop after entering. She just didn't know whether the thoughts of the stationary living things would also stop.

Of course, Xu Xiaoya needs to explore this matter slowly in the future. At this time, she is more interested in squirrels.

I don’t know if it was the aftereffect of being suddenly taken into the space, but the squirrel seemed to be very afraid of Xu Xiaoya. It didn’t even dare to escape after Xu Xiaoya let it out, and even took the initiative to put its tail in Xu Xiaoya’s hand.

The squirrel's actions were too obvious for Xu Xiaoya to understand. She poked the squirrel's tail and asked, "Have you acknowledged your master?"

Xu Xiaoya found that as long as she was not talking to anyone, her language system did not seem difficult to use, and she could still say a lot slowly.

That's what she was like at this moment.

The squirrel squeaked twice, but no one knew what it said in response. After Xu Xiaoya let go, it quickly climbed up the big tree next to it.

Xu Xiaoya thought the little squirrel would run away, but soon she was hit on the head by something.

Xu Xiaoya screamed in pain. When her mother heard the noise, she hurried over to check. Then she saw a series of dried fruits falling from the tree. Xu Xiaoya was surrounded by a pile of dried fruits.

Xu's mother hurriedly picked up Xu Xiaoya and checked if she was injured. Xu Xiaoya's face flushed with anger, and she pointed at the squirrel that had stuck its head out of the tree and complained, "Catch it!"

Xu's mother couldn't laugh or cry.

The squirrel has contributed all its stored food, how can we still catch it?

Xu's mother didn't notice the squirrel's provocation just now, and thought that the little squirrel liked Xu Xiaoya, otherwise why would it send so many dried fruits such as pine nuts, walnuts, chestnuts, peanuts, etc.

Xu Xiaoya knew that the squirrel did it on purpose to retaliate against her for scaring the animal.

snort!

She also knew that Xu's mother would definitely not climb a tree to catch a squirrel, so she could only look at the squirrel indignantly, and if the squirrel dared to appear again, she would catch it and pluck its fur.

Xu's mother happily collected all the gifts from the squirrel into her backpack. She stopped cutting grass and instead carried a basket of wild grass and Xu Xiaoya back to the village.

As soon as I entered the house, I saw the whole family was there, but the atmosphere was not good.

"What's wrong?"

Xu's mother put the backpack under the eaves, carried Xu Xiaoya into the house, came to Xu Laoya's side, and asked in a low voice.

Father Xu took Xu Xiaoya in and helped her pick off the weeds stuck to her body. Then he explained to his wife, "Third brother wanted to leave with the bandits, but our father beat him!"

It was said that it was Old Man Xu who did it, but in fact, Old Man Xu only moved his hands a little, and the rest was done by the brothers Xu Dazhu and Xu Erzhu.

Since these two are brothers, no one has any objection to them fighting.

Xu Sanzhu squatted in the corner, feeling aggrieved: "Dad, Mom, why can't you let me go out?"

Old Lady Xu slammed the sole of her shoe against Xu Sanzhu's back. "What? You're still asking? You evil creature, you don't want your wife and children anymore? If you become a bandit, won't you be scolded to death by others?"

No matter how good a bandit is, he is still a bandit.

No matter how bad these ordinary people are, they are still decent people.

There is no comparison at all.

Becoming a bandit is a path people take when they can no longer survive. Their family's life is getting better and better every day, so why do they need to become bandits?

Old Mrs. Xu couldn't figure it out, and neither could Xu Sanzhu's wife.

She covered her face and cried on the kang. Mrs. Xu Dasao and Mrs. Xu Ersao were comforting her, and the children didn't dare to say a word.

Only Xu Xiaoya could understand a little bit when she looked at Xu Sanzhu's flushed face.

Her third uncle was a man of his own ideas. He probably wanted to find a way to survive. The Japanese would come to the village sooner or later, and he couldn't just wait to die.

But Xu Xiaoya could understand, but dared not say anything. The book did not describe this period of time. After all, the timeline in the book started after the famine ended, and at that time, only twelve cousins of the Xu family survived, and all the adults were dead.

Otherwise, the heroine would not have borrowed the identity of Xu Xiaoya to enter her grandmother's house. There were also many dangerous things in the subsequent timeline, but the plot was mainly the emotional line. Without a specific explanation of the historical background, it was difficult to infer Xu Xiaoya.

At this moment, she could only pull Xu's father's hair obediently: "Dad, I'm hungry!"

Father Xu was also afraid that if the quarrel continued, the two elders would be angry with the third brother and get hurt, so he hurriedly shouted: "Mom, Xiaoya is hungry!"

This sentence worked better than anything else. Sure enough, Old Mrs. Xu's attention turned to Xu Xiaoya. She reached out and took Xu Xiaoya away from Xu's father's arms.

"Grandma's dear grandson, what do you want to eat?"

"meat!"

Ever since Xu Xiaoya was hit by the little squirrel, she has been thinking about eating meat.

At this time, she said it subconsciously, and Old Lady Xu laughed loudly: "Okay, okay, I'll make you some meat soup!"

Because of Xu Xiaoya's interruption, Xu Sanzhu was unable to continue speaking.

After Old Mrs. Xu went to the kitchen, Xu Xiaoya climbed into the arms of Mrs. Xu San.

"beat!"

At first, Xu Sansao didn't understand, but when she saw Xu Xiaoya pointing her little hand at Xu Sanzhu, Xu Sansao burst into tears and couldn't cry anymore.

Xu Sanzhu was also depressed: "Xiaoya, I am your uncle, why don't you expect me to be well?"

Xu Xiaoya rolled her eyes. He was going to be a bandit, what else could be good?

"White-eyed wolf!"

It was rare for these three words to come out of Xu Xiaoya's mouth, and everyone in the room laughed out loud.

Xu Xiaoba was Xu Sanzhu's son, and he also joined in the commotion: "That's right, ungrateful bastard, Xiaoya is right, beat him, mom, stop crying, just hit him, my dad deserves a beating!"

Mrs. Xu San hugged Xu Xiaoba and said, "Son, from now on, we will depend on each other!"

Xu Sanzhu also knew that his decision was too rash, and he could only stand in front of his wife and children and beg for mercy.

Obviously, the banditry came to an end.

But the impact did not end so easily.

Since Xu Sanzhu could not be a bandit, he carried a bow and arrow and went out of the village to patrol with the patrol team spontaneously organized by the village. If there was any situation, he would return to the village to report.

However, it was not as pessimistic as Xu Sanzhu worried. Until winter came, Xu Xiaoya changed into a thick cotton-padded jacket, and no Japanese soldiers entered the village. It was said that the Japanese soldiers looked down on the countryside and had been causing trouble in the city.

My uncle's family returned to town in a month. They still had to make a living and couldn't stay at my brother-in-law's house forever.

There are still 33 households in Huaishu Village, but there are several weddings this year, so it is quite lively. Xu Xiaoya also ate a lot of food and finally made things clear.

All the children in the village like Xu Xiaoya, not only because Xu Xiaoya looks like the lucky doll in the New Year pictures, but also because Xu Xiaoya always has various snacks prepared for her by Old Lady Xu. Although they are not expensive, they are also the envy of the children in the village.

That day, Xu Xiaoya and Xu Xiaoba were hiding behind the firewood pile at the door with their butts sticking out, their bright eyes staring at a broken winnowing basket on the snow.

With the sound of a few flapping wings, Xu Xiaoba quickly pulled the rope in his hand.

"Whoa—gotcha!"

Xu Xiaoya shouted excitedly.

The short legs almost rolled out like a ball because the cotton pants were too thick. Fortunately, Xu Xiaoba was quick to catch the person.

"Don't worry, sister. The dustpan is covering it, so the sparrow can't fly out!"

It turned out that a few children were catching sparrows with a winnowing basket. They just scattered a handful of grass seeds on the open space and were able to catch the hungry sparrows.

These sparrows are not big, but they have some meat, which can satisfy their cravings. The children really enjoy this activity.

Compared to last year, the Xu family is living a much better life. Although there doesn't seem to be much change on the outside, the only eye-catching thing is probably Xu Xiaoya.

Her chubby little face is so pink that anyone who doesn't like it would want to pinch it. Every member of the Xu family has a cotton-padded jacket covered with patches, but Xu Xiaoya's cotton-padded jacket has the most beautiful small floral patterns on it, and the key point is that it doesn't have a single patch on it.

Cleaner than the kids in the city!

If it were any other family's child, the villagers would have been complaining about it to death. Who wouldn't be willing to make new clothes for the older child so that they could give them to the younger one? But not only did they not spoil their son, they also spoiled a girl.

What's even more outrageous is that if they kindly help the boys from the Xu family to stand up for justice, they will be talked back by the boys from the Xu family.

It made many old feudalists who favored boys over girls very angry.

After a year of trial and error, Xu Xiaoya settled down to changing things once a week. The things she changed were usually daily necessities or some necessities that were missing at home. In addition, since she had space, Xu Xiaoya threw some overly shocking things into the space, and she changed things every day, but she did it quietly.

There's no way around it, this kind of thing is addictive.

As a result, after half a year, her space is now filled with a lot of messy things.

If she wasn't too young, she wouldn't dare to make too much noise. Also, the conditions in the village were limited, and she didn't want to expose her space, so she had to restrain herself.

But even so, she still couldn't keep the secret and was discovered by Old Lady Xu.

But compared to the last time she announced that she could exchange things, this time Old Lady Xu instructed that no one could tell Xu Xiaoya about the space, not even her mother. So the only one who knew that Xu Xiaoya had a space and who covered for her was Old Lady Xu.

Xu Xiaoya felt that Old Lady Xu was a very wise old lady who seemed to understand human nature very well.

The exchange of things can be blamed on the ancestors, but if space is used by someone with ulterior motives, Xu Xiaoya will definitely be in danger.

After sharing a secret with Old Lady Xu, Xu Xiaoya became even more dependent on her, which led to her being fearless at home, teasing cats and dogs, and being more annoying than any other girl in the village.

"Xu Xiaoya, you are not allowed to catch birds, or you will find yourself unable to find a partner in the future!"
