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

Xiaoqing: "."

"Xiaoqing, Xiaoqing, how should a girl repay such a life-saving favor? Do you know?" Bai Ruxue asked her younger sister.

"Sister, I am a snake, not a human."

"Oh, well then, it seems my sister will have to study more."

"read?"

"Yes, he was reading a book today. Although I couldn't understand it, he seemed very knowledgeable. Maybe the answer is in human books."

"But sister, can you read?"

"I don't know you~ But it's okay, I have a solution."

With that, Bai Ruxue happily ran off again.

"Sister, where are you going so late?" Xiaoqing called out from behind her sister.

"Go collect silver and gather herbs," the girl's voice drifted through the mountains and forests.

"Collecting medicine?"

The next day.

After listening to the village chief's lecture in the morning, Xiao Mo asked the village chief a few questions about the book, and then continued riding the ox up the mountain.

He planned to collect more herbs today, exchange them for some silver, and then buy some writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones.

When Xiao Mo returned yesterday, he found an extra piece of silver in his pocket.

He knew that Xiaobai had secretly given it to him.

Xiao Mo put the silver into a small bag.

That single piece of silver wasn't much, and Xiao Mo didn't plan to spend it; instead, he saved it for her.

Because Xiao Bai said she would find more silver for him in the future, Xiao Mo wanted to see how much she could find.

There was no other reason for doing this; it was just for fun.

Once on Sheshan Mountain, Xiao Mo herded cattle and picked medicinal herbs at the same time.

"Xiao Mo."

Just as Xiao Mo had picked a small basketful, he heard a girl's cheerful voice behind him.

Xiao Mo turned around and saw Bai Ruxue looking at him with a smile.

"Miss Bai." Xiao Mo bowed respectfully.

"Xiao Mo will play with me," Bai Ruxue said innocently, as if this little girl had no worries at all.

Xiao Mo shook his head: "I'm afraid I won't have time today. I need to pick up some medicinal herbs to sell and buy some writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstones."

“If you’re free, come with me.” Bai Ruxue pulled Xiao Mo’s hand and walked forward.

"Miss Bai, wait a moment, I'll lead the ox."

"Okay, then hurry up."

After a stick of incense had burned, the girl led Xiao Mo to a place filled with the Purple Sun Grass and Green Dragon Flower that Xiao Mo was looking for.

"How come there are so many medicinal herbs I'm looking for in this place?" Xiao Mo wondered in surprise.

Crouching down, Xiao Mo picked a flower and noticed that the plants here were very loose, as if they were buried.

Xiao Mo turned his head and his gaze fell on the girl's hands, which were covered in dirt and had some cuts.

"I see."

Xiao Mo understood; she had buried all those medicinal herbs.

With so many purple hydrangeas and green hibiscus flowers, she must have spent the whole night searching for them.

"How about that? Is that enough? You'll have to play with me for the rest of the time, okay?" Bai Ruxue raised her fair chin.

"That's enough." Xiao Mo nodded. "What would you like to play, young lady?"

"I want to study!"

"read?"

"Yes, yes, I want you to teach me to read, is that okay?" Bai Ruxue walked forward happily, her little hands covered in mud, and took out a small piece of silver. "I can pay for the tuition."

The residence of the Minister of Rites of the Zhou Dynasty.

The maid Xiaochun entered the young lady's backyard.

Every time Xiaochun stepped into the young lady's backyard, she felt as if she had entered another world.

In this world, there are only two colors: purple and cyan.

Purple hydrangea.

The blue ones are from the Aolong flower.

In the pavilion in the backyard, the young lady was reading a book.

Xiaochun grew up with Miss. Miss loved reading from a young age and knew a great deal.

Before anyone knew it, the young lady had grown up to be the most talented woman in the Zhou Kingdom.

"Miss." Xiaochun stepped forward and bowed to her mistress. "The Empress Dowager's lady-in-waiting has arrived. She says she's here to instruct you on the etiquette for entering the palace."

"Okay, I understand." Yan Ruxue continued turning the pages. "I'll come over after I finish these few pages."

Xiaochun looked at her mistress's profile, her lips slightly pursed, and couldn't help but ask, "Is Miss really going to the palace?"

Entering the palace is like entering a deep sea. In Xiaochun's opinion, such a beautiful and talented woman as her mistress should not be locked up in the deep palace.

Yan Ruxue closed the book, not answering the maid, but instead asking, "Xiaochun, if someone saved your life, how would you repay them?"

"How can I repay this kindness? How can I repay this kindness?"

Just as Xiaochun was thinking.

Yan Ruxue stood up and gently placed a book of strange tales on her head.

It's written in the book.

The young girl walked gracefully out of the courtyard with her hands clasped in front of her, the spring breeze gently caressing the flowers and plants.

"The answer is to repay him with one's body~"

Chapter 27 I really will keep waiting

"Xiao Mo, how do you pronounce these two characters?"

"Slender and graceful".

"And what about this character?"

“逑”.

"A fair maiden is sought after by a gentleman. Xiao Mo, what does this saying mean?"

"It means that a beautiful and virtuous lady is a good match for a gentleman."

"How do I become a lady?"

"read."

"I'm reading."

"That's not enough; you need to read more books."

"Then how many books would I need to read?"

"Once you've read enough, you'll understand for yourself."

"Oh."

Bai Ruxue responded, then raised her head and looked at the top of Xiao Mo's head.

"Hey? Xiao Mo, you seem to have grown taller."

"Have it?"

“Yes.” Bai Ruxue stood on tiptoe and gestured. “You used to be as tall as me, but now you’re a head taller than me.”

"It seems so." Xiao Mo looked at the girl in front of him. "But why aren't you growing?"

“Yes,” Bai Ruxue blinked, “Why don’t I grow?”

"You're probably this tall." Xiao Mo patted her head, leading the cow while reading his book, and continued walking forward.

"Impossible." Bai Ruxue caught up with Xiao Mo's back. "Xiao Mo, I will still grow! I will definitely grow very, very tall, and my legs will definitely be very, very long."

Xiao Mo smiled and said, "Okay, I'll wait."

Every time Xiao Mo went up the mountain, he would encounter this girl.

The girl never said where she came from, and Xiao Mo never asked where she lived.

When Xiao Mo rode an ox to read, the girl would sit sideways behind him, her little feet dangling under her skirt, looking at the white clouds, the grass, and him in front of her.

Since the girl appeared, Xiao Mo has spent much less time gathering herbs.

The main thing is that Bai Ruxue would collect those herbs and bury them in the ground.

Every time Xiao Mo came over, she would excitedly pull him into the mountains, saying, "I've found so many more purple yang grass and green dragon flowers."

Xiao Mo taught her to read and write, and Bai Ruxue would collect small pieces of silver to pay Xiao Mo's tuition.

But even if Bai Ruxue is incredibly lucky, she can't possibly find money lying around every day.

When Bai Ruxue didn't find the money, Xiao Mo had to comfort her: "It's okay, you can give me rabbits or pheasants to pay for my tuition sometime."

After that, every time the girl came to see Xiao Mo, she would be carrying a rabbit or a pheasant in her fair little hands.

"You should have said so earlier. Rabbits and pheasants are much easier to find than silver," the girl said.

However, Bai Ruxue would still collect silver every day.

Without him.

Bai Ruxue heard Xiao Mo say that studying is expensive, and she wanted to give him the money to go to school.

In summer, the weather gradually becomes hot.

Snakes prefer shade.

Bai Ruxue stood at the entrance of the cave, and once she saw the bright sun, she didn't want to go out.

Bai Ruxue even felt that if she crawled out, her belly would be scalded, and she would turn into a roasted snake.

But today Xiao Mo said he would go up the mountain to herd cattle.

Judging from the time, Xiao Mo should have finished lunch and was already riding the ox up the mountain.

"Xiaoqing, your sister has gone out," Bai Ruxue said, mustering her courage.

Xiao Qing, who was lying on the cool stone, lazily raised her head: "Sister, come back soon."

As time passed, Xiaoqing no longer wanted to say anything more about her sister going to find that human.

Anyway, my sister won't listen to me.

And that human seems pretty stupid; he hasn't even realized that his sister is a monster.

"Well, I'm leaving."

Bai Ruxue transformed into human form and specifically checked her small feet.

It was definitely not a tail, and Bai Ruxue happily jumped out of the cave.

Sure enough, on the path he often took up the mountain, Bai Ruxue saw a man and an ox.

"Xiao Mo." The girl waved happily.

As usual, the two rode the big black ox, swaying through the mountains.

The sun is really strong!

Bai Ruxue felt her eyes were blurry and her head was spinning.
