Chapter 1:

There is a clear stream to the south of Yuanjia Village. In midsummer, there is a sing of cicadas and birds, and the fragrance of lotus flowers is a sacred place for children in the village.
The dolls in the countryside are no better than the young ladies in the towns. For them, they can play in the cool stream by the time of touching mud snails and hogweed. It is the most pleasant time of the day in summer. .
After all, after returning home, I have to help my parents feed the chickens and chop wood, doing a lot of hard work. The older ones even need to prepare food for the whole family, waiting for their parents to return from the field after a hard day's work.
Yuan Xiang'er shook the basket on his back and shook the water in it. The basket was almost as tall as her, and it was filled with hogweed that had just been picked up from the stream. She adjusted her breathing and tried to keep up with her sisters. At the age of seven, she has been used as a labor force among writers and has lost the qualification to play all day.
Because of an accidental car accident, she suddenly passed from the bustling modern society to this barren Medieval period. But in any case, after seven years, she has gradually adapted to this rural life without electronic products, blocked information, and dominated by manual labor.
There had just been a thunderstorm in the morning here, and the bumpy dirt road accumulated a lot of water after the rain.
The children were barefoot, frolicking and walking past puddles of various sizes. No one noticed that there was a small humanoid creature struggling desperately in a small puddle just beside their feet.
It is too small, not even as tall as a child. With thin hands and feet, fair skin, the appearance is no different from human beings, only a pair of film-like wings are added on the back.
The wings were soaked in water and dragged to the bottom of the water, making it more difficult for it to break free, so it could only throw a small arm out of the water and thump continuously, with a look of horror.
However, the children passing by seemed to be completely unable to see the dying creatures in the water, and one by one still laughed and trampled on the muddy water passing by.
Yuan Xianger, who was following the end of the team, suddenly stopped.
She looked at the elder sisters who were walking ahead and didn't notice anything. She squatted down calmly, stretched out a finger to fish out the little man in the puddle, and put it on the open sunflower by the roadside. on.
The drowning villain was rescued in panic, used his limbs together, and grabbed Yuan Xianger's fingers tightly. It took Yuan Xiang'er a little effort to get it down and hang it in a sunflower's green-brown flower tray.
The little man slumped on the soft yellow petals, with a very anthropomorphic expression on his small face, his facial features were wrinkled together, and he folded his two small hands and raised them to Yuan Xianger's bow, and spit out some water bubbles.
It's kind of cute.
Yuan Xianger's mouth showed a little smile.
I don't know if it was because of a death. Since the journey through, she found that she had a unique ability, and she could clearly see the various spirits and sprites living in this world.
But out of caution, Yuan Xianger did not tell her relatives around him. This is a village where the people's wisdom has not been fully civilized, and they worship and fear ghosts and gods. Their inability to protect themselves and their peculiar ability can easily make themselves rejected as heretics.
As for whether anyone else in this world could see all kinds of monsters like her, Yuan Xianger didn't know. After she was born, she hadn't had a chance to take a step out of this village and see the outside world. She only knew that in Yuanjia Village, a small population, she didn't find anyone with this ability like herself.
Whether it's the parents around you, or the goddess in the village who can invite all kinds of big immortals, it seems that you can't see the special existence in the wild and forest, and you can't feel the little spirits that are mixed with everyone.
The eldest sister Yuan Chunhua who was walking in the front stopped and looked back at the little sister who was far behind. Seeing her younger sister, who is less than seven years old, smiling at a sunflower on the side of the road, she sighed helplessly.
Among the three sisters in the family, the second sister has the kind of sneaky and slippery character. The younger sister is diligent and calm, but I don't know why she often likes to talk to herself or giggle to empty places.
Twelve-year-old Yuan Chunhua looked like a half mother in front of these younger siblings. She patted her younger brother who was on her back, walked back, and put two wet hogweeds from the little sister’s basket into the already full blue in her hands, reducing the burden on the younger sister. .
"Xiang'er don't play anymore, go home earlier, the sun is high, and the road is panicked."
The parents of the Yuan family were ordinary farmers, facing the loess and back to the sky all their lives, guarding a few acres of dry land. In addition to an old mother who was lingering and sick, there was also a child waiting to be fed under the water. The life was very tight.
The eldest girl was born in the winter, so she named Yuan Chunhua forcibly in order to get a good omen that it would bloom first and then bear fruit. It is a pity that the sky is not what people want, the fruit does not bear, but the flowers bloom one after another.
When the second girl who popped out of the mother's belly was still a girl, Grandma Yuan's expression was already uncontrollable and ugly, so Er Ya's name was plainly called Yuan Zhaodi.
As the third money-losing goods born in the family, Yuan Xianger is destined to be an existence that disappoints everyone.
Just after crossing over and barely opened his eyes, the first thing Yuan Xiang'er saw clearly was the mother's disgusting face, and what she heard was the voice of her father sighing while squatting outside the door frame.
She also knew that although she was reborn after death, she was still a person without parents.
Because of her birth, Yuan's father finally realized that he was unable to take a name for the old Yuan family to continue the incense, so he asked Wu Daopo of the village east to give it a name, and finally named the three girls as Yuan Xianger. This is the meaning of the Yuan family's prosperity.
After the name was given, the Yuan family added two males one after another. Since then, Xiang'er's mother felt that her face was bright, and she straightened her back at her husband's house, so she never forgot to praise Wu Daopo from neighbors for many years. Supernatural powers.
In order to hear more about this legend, Yuan Xiang'er has used her small arms and short legs so many times to climb up the low wall of Wu Dao's house to see her acting as an immortal.
Every now and then, the villagers on the periphery of the courtyard would see Wu Daopo standing at the entrance of the hall in the open front hall, worshiping the seven stars, putting the incense bowl, singing and dancing the magic talisman.
The excitement is extremely lively. It's a pity that no matter how hard Wu Daopo dances and how superb performance she performs, Yuan Xiang'er can't see half aura in that colorful hall. To be sure, neither Huang Daxian nor Hu Niangzi's shadow appeared.
Wu Daopo pinched her throat, sometimes calling herself San Tai's milk, sometimes incarnate as the Huang Family Real Monarch, she opened her mouth to be able to hide and hide, save suffering and rescue, patted her chest and promised to cure all diseases, confused the villagers who came to seek help shivering and saluting Worship.
So Yuan Xiang'er knew that she could only see this kind of god-given ritual as a lively event, and could not get a glimpse of what she wanted to know from it.
The wall she used to pull is a good place with a good view. On the side, a little boy with a fox tail often climbs up, and on the side there may be a weasel who is not yet transformed, or a hanging Little girl with a pair of bunny ears.
Everyone tacitly "watched the fun" without disturbing each other.
Going more often, the teenager with a fox tail discovered that Yuan Xianger, a human cub, could actually see him. He was very curious about this. He stretched out his hand to hand Yuan Xiang'er a few hazelnuts and chestnuts that he had brought from the mountains. Everyone knocked the fruit while watching the human female performance in the yard.
It is said that after the Yuan family added two males, although the face has been earned, the lining has been wiped out. A family of eight eats chaffy vegetables. Days are getting harder and harder. Summer is better. In winter, winter clothes and food It will become a serious problem that the family cannot solve.
Yuan Xianger, who had traveled before, lived in a well-known and famous family, belonging to the upper class of society. The family's economic conditions are superior and the material life is abundant. She has enjoyed excellent educational resources since she was a child. After returning from studying in a prestigious overseas school, she entered the family business directly. The avenue of life is spacious and bright, and is the envy of everyone. But she didn't know who her father was. Her mother was a career-oriented strong woman, independent and strong, and she was unmarried all her life.
Ever since Yuan Xiang'er can remember, her mother has always had sharp makeup and exquisite clothes, always coming and going in high heels. Even if she occasionally stops and meets her daughter, she looks stern and rigid. Accompanying her to spend her childhood in that luxurious villa can be said to be the housekeeping aunt who is constantly changing at home, and of course the more and more cats and puppies are raised by her.
Traveling overnight, suddenly faced with such a barren and backward living environment, she should have been very uncomfortable, but Yuan Xianger didn't feel uncomfortable in her heart. She was even grateful for being able to once again get the opportunity to survive in the world. When she died unexpectedly in a car accident, she felt very strongly that she wanted to live.
Even though life in that world is lonely and lonely, she still wants to continue to live, not to die.
The elder sister who was walking along the ridge with Yuan Xianger noticed the change in her sister's mood, so she picked a wild flower by the side of the road and pinned it to Yuan Xianger's hair.
"A sister is so partial to the third sister, I also want to have flowers." The second sister Yuan Zhaodi pursed her mouth in dissatisfaction.
Yuan Xiaobao, who was just one year old with his back on Yuan Chunhua's back, also stretched out his small hand and yelled vaguely, "Flower, flower."
So Yuan Chunhua picked a lot of wild flowers, covered her heads for her sisters, and weaved a wreath for her younger brother, and put it on his two or three yellow heads. The sisters and brothers laughed and walked home.
Bright daylight, flying grass and trees, children running on the ridge.
Life is obviously hard and busy, but it is such a lively and simple life that makes the life a little more of fireworks, which seems to make up a small piece of Yuan Xianger's once lonely and deficient childhood.
On the other end of the dirt road, a gray-haired old man walked toward him. He has white beard and hair, but his complexion is very ruddy, wearing a gorgeous satin clothing, and walking slowly.
Yuan Xiang'er glanced at his smiling face, was taken aback, and instantly got half-length goose bumps.
This old gentleman is no different from ordinary people, and there is nothing strange about him. But the more so, the more frightened Yuan Xianger became.
In this barren little village, most of the old people who have toiled for a whole generation are full of gully faces and crooked backs. Those who can walk around in clothes without patches are already rare wealthy families in the village.
Suddenly on the mud road of the ridge, an old man with such a beautiful dress and a rich face appeared. The sisters around him didn't react to such abrupt appearance. Yuan Xianger knew in her heart that this must be a special existence that only she could see.
Having lived in this world for six or seven years, she knows that there is a big difference between fairies and ghosts. The little foxes and little flower fairies in the village mixed in the crowd can not really harm humans except for occasional pranks. As a young man in modern society who is easy to accept new things, she is not afraid to come into contact with those little alien creatures.
But the old man who walked over at this moment can not only take a leisurely stroll in the village where humans live in the noon sun, but also perfectly transform into a human form in appearance, a "big monster" that he can't provoke casually.
So Yuan Xianger took the second sister Yuan Zhaodi's hand, pretending to be innocent, as if she didn't see the old man just like her sisters.
The distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, Yuan Xianger's heart was a little nervous. She tried to fix her eyes far away, turning a blind eye to the old man who was close at hand, and her palms began to sweat slightly.
When passing by, the old man suddenly bent over and put his smiling face in front of her.
"Little girl, can you see the old man, right?"
Yuan Xianger's face instantly turned pale, and her body tightened.
"Xiang'er, what are you doing? It hurts me to catch it." The second sister yelled dissatisfiedly.
Yuan Xianger could not speak, she didn't know what kind of reaction she should make now. The other party might just want to swindle her, but he didn't hold back at that moment, it can be regarded as showing off.
If this "old man" wants to do something to their siblings, she is completely helpless and has no defense.
She could only shut her mouth, followed her sister stiffly, and continued to pass the old man nervously.
"I'm so hungry, Sister, what do we have for lunch? Let's make soup for the clams we fished." Yuan Zhaodi was still thinking about lunch at lunch.
"You know that you are greedy, you have to keep it in a water tank and spit mud, wait until the night Auntie and Aniang come back from the field before eating." The eldest sister Yuan Chunhua replied.
The two sisters were unaware of the crisis around them, and they talked to each other with ease, and walked past the old man's clothes corner.
Fortunately, the other party didn't seem to have any intention of embarrassing them, and smiled and avoided them, letting them leave easily.
In the dog days, the sun was shining brightly, and Yuan Xianger had a cold sweat.
The old man looked at Yuan Xiang'er's back slowly walking away, twisting his beard and nodding, "Sure enough, he is a good-qualified child. At a young age, he not only opened his eyes, but also became calm like this. No wonder Mr. Nature came for her.
"Huh, no change. I see her legs are shaking in shock, she is smaller than a rabbit spirit. She is not enough to stuff my teeth." A strange voice came from somewhere underground.
"She is only six or seven years old, even a human being is just a cub. How can she be compared with an old monster like you who has lived for six or seven hundred years." The old man said with a smile.
