We said we would experience life, fairy, how did you become real?.

Chapter 24 But sister, you are a snake, how can you repay my kindness?
"Click."

"Click."

"Click."

Inside the courtyard, Xiao Mo was chopping wood.

Under the eaves of the dilapidated wooden house, a small white snake intently watched the eleven-year-old boy.

This is her third day here.

For the next three days, the little boy named Xiao Mo would catch mice for himself to eat every day.

I change my dressings every day.

The little white snake didn't understand why he was being so kind to her.

I am clearly just a snake.

And he is a person
Another half month passed.

The little white snake felt that its injuries had almost healed.

She bit open the cloth covering her body, and her flesh had already grown back, but the scales hadn't fully healed yet, making it look a little unsightly.

But it doesn't get in the way.

The little white snake climbed onto the roof beam and looked in the direction of Sheshan Mountain: "It's time to go back, otherwise Xiaoqing will worry about me."

However, the little white snake felt it was inappropriate to leave without saying goodbye.

She would wait for him to come back so she could say goodbye.

As evening fell, the setting sun dipped below the horizon, bathing everything in a crimson glow.

A young cowherd rode a big black ox and slowly made his way home.

After tying the big black ox up outside the door, the little boy walked into the courtyard and shouted, "Little White, I'm back!"

The little white snake climbed down from the roof beam, crawled to Xiao Mo's side, flicked its tongue, and then turned around to show him its wound.

"Hey? Your injury is healed?" Xiao Mo saw Xiao Bai's wound. Although the scales hadn't fully healed, it was almost there.

The little white snake nodded, its head turned towards the distant mountain.

"Do you want to leave?" Xiao Mo felt he understood what Xiao Bai meant.

The little white snake nodded again.

"Alright then." A hint of disappointment flashed in Xiao Mo's eyes, then he said in the innocent tone of an eleven-year-old child, "Then go ahead, but be careful in the future, and don't get hurt again."

"Hissssss~"

The little white snake flicked its tongue, as if agreeing with Xiao Mo, and crawled out of the courtyard.

Outside the courtyard, the little white snake turned around and glanced at the little boy.

When the little boy saw Xiaobai turn around, he waved and shouted, "Xiaobai, don't get hurt again!"

"Hiss."

The little white snake shook its tail, like a human hand, to say goodbye, then disappeared into the grass.

"Ugh"

After the little white snake left, Xiao Mo sighed.

How can I help her transform into a dragon?

This parting might be the last time we see each other.

As for forcing her to stay, that's even more impossible.

Let alone the fact that it could have any opportunities to stay by the side of an ordinary person like myself.

She wanted to leave, but I insisted on staying, which only turned this good relationship into a bad one.

"Do your best and leave the rest to fate. That's all we can do."

Xiao Mo pulled himself together and went back into the house.

Since things have come to this, let's read some books first.

The village chief was an old scholar who taught the village children to read and write.

Xiao Mo plans to go and take a look tomorrow.

"Sister!" After the little white snake returned to its cave in the mountains, a little green snake saw its sister and happily crawled over, coiling around her.

"Sister, where have you been for the past month?" Xiaoqing asked, flicking her tongue as she looked at her sister with concern. "I've been looking for you for so long, I was worried that something might have happened to you."

“I went to catch mice to eat the other day, but I was spotted by an eagle. I managed to escape but was injured. A human saved me,” Xiaobai said briefly. “He even gave my sister a name.”

"Name?" Xiaoqing tilted her head.

“Yes.” The little white snake nodded. “He said I’m as white as snow, so he named me Bai Ruxue (White as Snow). What do you think? Isn’t it nice? I’ll take you to see him another day and he can give you a name too.”

"Sister," Xiaoqing said helplessly, "humans are all bad. People often go up the mountain to catch snakes. Have you forgotten, sister?"

“But Xiaoqing, I think many things cannot be generalized. For example, snakes are not all the same. You are green and I am white. How much more so are people? There are bad people and good people in this world.”

"Hmph!" Xiaoqing turned her head away. "People are all bad!"

"But he saved me."

"That's bad too!"

"But he saved me."

"Sister!" Xiao Qing angrily slapped her tail against the rock.

"Alright." Little White stroked the tip of Little Green's tail. "Little Green, believe me, he really is a good person. He saved my life, and I want to repay his kindness."

"But sister, you are a snake, how can you repay my kindness?"

"Emmm," the little white snake thought about it seriously.

Suddenly, the little white snake's eyes lit up: "I've got it!"

"Yes?"

"Yes," the little white snake raised her tail, waving it like a little girl's finger. "From today onwards, I will definitely cultivate diligently, strive to transform into human form as soon as possible, and then repay my benefactor."

"You want to study?"

In the small courtyard, the old village chief, Wang Can, looked at Xiao Mo.

On the stone table in the courtyard were the herbs that Wang Can had picked up on the mountain that day.

“Yes, Village Chief.” Xiao Mo raised his head, his eyes filled with a thirst for knowledge. “I want to study!”

"What are you reading, you little brat?"

Just then, the village chief's wife came out.

“What’s the use of studying? Look at my old man, he’s studied his whole life and he’s still just a scholar. How much money does he have? My uncle is a blacksmith in town. I’ll send you there next year to be his apprentice. You’ll learn a good skill and you won’t starve.”

"Mom, I want to study too!" The nine-year-old girl teased her mother.

"Go away, go away! Girls don't need to study. Finding a good family to marry into is the most important thing. You must never end up like your mother, marrying a useless, pedantic scholar, understand?"

"Oh, oh." The little girl nodded, seemingly understanding.

Xiao Mo and the village chief: "."

According to the memories of "Xiao Mo" in this life, Xiao Mo knows the situation of the village chief's family.

The village chief is fifty-three years old, and his wife, Chen Hong, is ten years younger than him.

The couple had a child late in life, a daughter named Wang Yan, who is now nine years old.

Although Aunt Chen always disliked the village chief, she never left him and managed the household very well.

"If you can read, then read; if you can't read, it's good to at least recognize a few characters."

The village chief sighed and said to Xiao Mo.

"Mo'er, don't listen to your Aunt Chen's nonsense. Starting tomorrow, you can go to the thatched cottage in the village to attend classes. However, the children in this village and the two neighboring villages have all paid for their education, so I can't let you go inside to listen. You can just listen from the outside, okay?"

Xiao Mo was overjoyed and quickly said, "Thank you, Village Chief."

"Hmph, studying, studying, studying will starve you."

Aunt Chen pursed her lips and led her daughter into the house.

"Don't listen to your Aunt Chen's nonsense," the village chief said in a low voice. "Look at me, I haven't starved to death, have I?"

Xiao Mo's brows twitched. He really wanted to say, "If it weren't for Aunt Chen, you would have starved to death long ago."

But Xiao Mo nodded seriously: "The village chief is right!"
