Li Xiao blinked and realized that what she saw in front of her was not an illusion. Those little girls who were laughing and playing were not ghosts, but real existences. The leading eagle looked about ten years old. Her hair was tied up in a ponytail, and her clothes were washed until they were bleached. There were even a few patches on them, but her entire body was brimming with a cheerful energy. The hen was a little older. She protected the string of children behind her and laughed incessantly.
"Hahaha, I'm going to catch you!"
"Run, we can't catch you, we can't catch you!"
Not far away, a few girls were stepping on a spinning wheel under the eaves. As they weaved, they would occasionally look up to watch them play, revealing knowing smiles.
Those playing games were playing games, those spinning wheels were spinning, and those washing vegetables were washing vegetables. As far as the eye could see, there were all women here. There was not a single man. The scene was peaceful.
When Li Xiao saw this scene, she finally knew the whereabouts of those missing girls.
She looked around. The environment had not changed. The low houses, the very layered terraced fields, and even the slightly crooked tree in the middle of the village was exactly the same as the village she came to yesterday. The only difference was the people. The villagers who originally lived here were all gone. Instead, they were replaced by these missing girls. They were here, undisturbed, and looked so peaceful and peaceful.
Obviously, these people had stayed together for so many years and were familiar with each other. The sudden appearance of a stranger like Li Xiao naturally caused a wave of surprise.
"Eh, are you new here? You don't look like someone from our village. "
The first to notice her was a girl with a ponytail who had just come down from the mountain and picked a few pine cones.
Li Xiao blinked and said, "I just woke up and came here." She was definitely telling the truth! Speaking of which, she suddenly felt so sleepy last night. Something was not right.
The girl with a ponytail seemed to have thought of something, and her face glowed. "Are you the volunteer teacher that Ah Mui mentioned? Do you want to come and teach us how to read? "
A longing expression appeared on her face, making people unable to bear to reject her. When the other girls heard this, they also looked at her expectantly.
Li Xiao: "…" If she were to teach, she would mislead the children!
If this was the original world, she would have the money to hire a teacher to teach them. But now, she did not even understand how she appeared here. Zhang Yan and Mao Ruxin, who had been following her, were also not there.
Although she was not confident, she still maintained a calm expression. "Ah, I'm not a teacher."
She could see with her naked eyes that these people were visibly disappointed, so she added, "But teaching you to read is not a problem. Ah Mei has brought the textbook back. Let me have a look. "
.................................
She thought to herself.
The braided girl immediately took out the textbook that Ah Mei brought back last night. Li Xiao found the elementary school textbook and asked them, "Do you want me to teach you how to write your names first?"
"There's no need. ...... A Mei taught us before! "
Li Xiao smirked and went with them to the empty house that was used as a classroom in the village. Just as she expected, the tables and chairs were already prepared. There was even a blackboard on the wall.
"Let's start with pinyin!"
She looked around. All the girls in the village were here, and the classroom was packed. She estimated that there were about fifty of them. After all, the village was small and did not have a large population. The oldest was 22 years old, and the youngest was just a few months old. They were being coaxed in the arms of the older children. To them, this world was the so-called pure land.
Faced with these pairs of expectant and focused eyes, Li Xiao unconsciously became serious.
The class lasted for an hour. Although she drank water to replenish her energy, her throat was dry. Li Xiao could not help but sigh. Being a teacher was not easy.
"Ah, it's time for breakfast. Teacher, wait, we'll be done soon. "
After class, they hurriedly went to get breakfast. However, Li Xiao was still surrounded by many girls. She was very popular. After all, it was rare for someone from the outside world to come here.
"Teacher, what's the outside world like? Are there really many high-rise buildings like the ones in the textbooks? "
"Ah Mui said that the girls outside are all studying. They can earn their own money, work, and find someone they like to marry. Is that true?"
"Are there pandas outside?! I read the textbook. I like it so much. But I've never been to a zoo. "
Li Xiao was stunned for a moment. Then, she answered the questions one by one. They listened with fascination. After the class, Li Xiao shared a lot with them about the outside world. These girls became much closer to Li Xiao.
Li Xiao asked them about Zhang Mei. Although the village chief said it yesterday, she instinctively felt that it was not true.
The girl with the braids was called Zhang Zhaodi. She sat next to Li Xiao and said, "Are you talking about Ah Mui? Ah Mui is very impressive. She's the only girl in our village who went to college. At that time, there were volunteer teachers in the village. Ah Mui was good at her studies. The teachers persuaded her parents to pay her tuition fees and let her continue to study. Then, she was admitted to a college outside. "
When she said this, her tone was filled with envy and admiration.
Li Xiao nodded slightly. No wonder Zhang Mei felt more knowledgeable than these girls. After all, she had really walked out of the mountain and seen the outside world with her own eyes.
"After graduation, Ah Mui refused to come back and worked outside. She even asked us to study hard and was willing to pay our tuition fees. Ah Mui's parents arranged a marriage for her. They wanted her to marry a pig butcher in Nanhe Village. The pig butcher was willing to give her family 600,000 yuan as a betrothal gift. Ah Mui was not willing. She already had a boyfriend outside at that time. "
Zhang Zhaodi's eyes turned red when she said this.
"Later, her mother lied to her and said that her sister was sick. Ah Mui wanted to take her sister to see a doctor, so she came back."
Li Xiao sighed in her heart. She could guess what happened next. This village chief only had one road that led to the outside world. It took half a day to get to the county by bus. There was only one bus that came and went every seven days. If Zhang Mei came back and was trapped by her family, it would be impossible for her to escape. There would be no way for her to seek help. In the end, she had overestimated the morals of her family. Some people were not worthy of being called human. The other people in the village would not help her. In this aspect, they were on the same page.
"Ah Mui jumped into the well in the middle of the night. When she was found, it was already the next day. After her death, the village chief said that girls should not study. If they studied, they would pick up a lot of bad habits and disobey the elders. Therefore, we were not allowed to study. "
The village chief's face appeared in Li Xiao's mind. His originally benevolent face instantly became detestable. Haha, that's right. Of course, they wanted these girls to not study. It would be best if they were brainwashed by them for the rest of their lives. When they were born, they would obediently do housework and be the coolies of the family. When they were of age, they would let their families sell them for a good price. After they got married, they would wholeheartedly support their family. This was the so-called role model of women in their hearts.
People like Zhang Mei, who had her own ideas and wanted to break free from the shackles, became rebellious in their eyes.
"Seven days after A Mei's death, we woke up and found ourselves here." Zhang Zhaodi said. Although there were tears in his eyes, the corners of his mouth were curled up.
"It's good here. No one will beat or scold me. I don't have to wake up at 5 am and sleep at 11 pm every day. I also learned how to write my own name. If A Mei didn't bring me here, I would have to get married in half a year. "
"The bad thing is that we can't eat pork easily. But we have chickens, so we can eat an egg every day. We can also eat chicken every few days. " Zhang Zhaodi was already very satisfied with this. If it was in her family, the meat would be eaten by her brothers, and she would not have a share. Compared to before, life now was much better.
Li Xiao asked, "Are you going to stay here forever? Forever? "
"There's nothing bad about it. Here, other than the inconvenience of buying things, everything else is pretty good. "
"A Mei sometimes brings things back for us from outside."
"Look, this is the hair clip she brought for us! We exchanged it with the cloth we knitted ourselves. "A twelve-year-old girl pointed at the red hair clip on her head with a happy face. This hair clip was the kind that could be seen everywhere on the roadside. The style was vulgar, but for a little girl, it was a precious gift that would make her happy for a long time. Li Xiao saw this and couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
She could see that these girls were really satisfied with their current lives. They were willing to stay in this world that was like heaven to them. Zhang Mei's Yin Karma might have come from this. If she didn't bring these girls here, with the age of some of them, she was afraid that they would have been married and had children, and would have been tortured. Some of the girls who were just born would not even have the chance to survive. Zhang Mei changed the fate of many people.
So the question was, how did Zhang Mei do this?
Directly creating a new world, a small female ghost, no matter how hard she tried, could not do it! Even the legendary immortals and Buddhas might not be able to do this.
She had seen Zhang Mei before. Because of her suicide, her resentment was very strong. Compared to ordinary ghosts, her magic power was indeed stronger, and she could appear even in the daytime. But she definitely couldn't create a pure land out of nothing. Just by looking at these girls who had not been disturbed by the outside world until now, she knew.
Perhaps she had obtained some sort of cheat code. Li Xiao had a premonition that the reward of this trip might fall on Zhang Mei.
It was just that it was a little inappropriate to let them stay in this world forever. They couldn't stay here forever, isolated from the outside world, and live like this for the rest of their lives. In fact, they also wanted to see the outside world with their own eyes, but they didn't have the chance.
When the time came, they would think of a way to bring them out of here. She couldn't save all the girls in Hua nation, but at least she could save these people.
As for their original relatives … It was obvious that they would not be willing to let Li Xiao take them away when the time came.
She was not worried that whoever objected or blocked her, she would use lightning to strike them a few more times. She would be able to strike them until they agreed. She would remember to control her power and not let anyone die. Being struck by lightning was very useful to those ignorant villagers. At the very least, she could make them have nightmares and harass them.
Li Xiao was not so good-tempered. She would try to use her noble character to reform the wicked people. When the day came, grass might have grown on the graves of those girls.
