I Am That Little Fox [Quick Transmigration] Chapter 94: The Village Tyrant and the Little Educated Youth (9)
If a person stands out too much, it is easy for the people around him to appear ordinary. Others are fine, but Lu Xiaoyan is the only one who feels sour.
Early in the morning, Bai Xiaoxi squatted by the ditch in the yard to wash up.
Lu Xiaoyan came back from the river and was drying her clothes a few steps away. The clothes were a little wet and needed to be wringed out first. She stood and wringed out. The falling water splashed high and some flew onto Bai Xiaoxi.
Bai Xiaoxi frowned and said unhappily: “Can you squat down?”
Lu Xiaoyan snorted, “You can go a little farther, what? Do you think you are capable, so everyone has to let you go?”
She has been acting so weird these days, Bai Xiaoxi doesn’t want to tolerate her anymore.
“I didn’t think anyone should let me,” she stood up with her mouth pursed, “but I think you should look at this.”
“Why, you still want to hit someone?” Lu Xiaoyan took a step back.
Bai Xiaoxi ignored it, put the tooth cup aside, walked to the water tank filled with water, squatted down slightly, put her hands on both sides of the water tank, and without using any force, she lifted the water tank off the ground. It was more than ten centimeters long. When it was put down, the ground shook.
She straightened up, her face was not red and she was out of breath. She turned to look at the astonished Lu Xiaoyan, waved her fist, and said with a fierce expression: “Don’t mess with me, or I will punch you and you will be dead.”
Lu Xiaoyan was so frightened that she took another step back and stepped into the ditch with her foot, “Ah!”
Bai Xiaoxi patted the dust on her hands, picked up the water glass and went into the house humming a song.
After breakfast, she went out with a hatchet and prepared to go up the mountain to weed.
Passing outside the courtyard of Liang Sheng’s house, She happened to see him walking out with a hoe. Apparently they were traveling together.
“Good morning!” Bai Xiaoxi greeted him proactively.
Liang Sheng’s brows never seemed to loosen. He frowned and looked at her, then at the tool in her hand, “Are you going up the mountain?”
She didn’t seem to agree with his tone. Bai Xiaoxi raised her chin and said, “I have a lot of strength and can earn ten work points.”
Liang Sheng didn’t doubt this. Even though he was far away from the crowd, he had heard these days that the young educated youth in front of him was very capable and popular.
He was not questioning her ability, but the work on the mountain was basically only done by men. She might be the only little girl in the whole mountain. Did she realize this?
What he expected was correct, most of the people removing weeds were men, with only two or three middle-aged women, plus Bai Xiaoxi.
Fortunately, as soon as the women saw Bai Xiaoxi, they warmly invited her to join them. Liang Sheng looked at them for a few times and turned away.
In fact, when Bai Xiaoxi went up the mountain, besides earning work points, she had other thoughts. First, she wanted to observe the growth of the bayberry and see when she could eat it. Second, she was very interested in Dayangmei Mountain.
She had calculated that based on work points alone, she would not be able to settle the money until the end of the year. Water from afar could not quench her near thirst. Now she had no money on hand to spend, so she had to find some extra money. So when someone mentioned the legend of Dayangmeiling before, she remembered it immediately.
