Chapter 2

I'm so hungry. She didn't know how many days she slept or that she hadn't eaten for a few days, but she felt so hungry. Moreover, there seemed to be countless ants climbing and gnawing on her body. She wanted to move, but after moving, she found that her body was getting more and more uncomfortable. She wanted to move to relieve her feelings, but she couldn't lift it at all.

She doesn't want to be like this, no, really don't...

"Dead, then forget it..." Master's words suddenly broke into her ear and died? No, don't want to die. Why do you want to die? So many people live well. Why do you want to die? No, no, absolutely, absolutely not die!

I just came to this world and got the name of Ah Chou. How can she die? She can't die. Even if she is in pain, she must endure it. If she is hungry, she must endure it. No matter what, you have to endure it, as long as you can live, as long as you can live.

"Baby! You must live!"

The warmth of my mother in my arms, my father's murmur, no matter what, I will live, I will definitely, absolutely!

......

"It's not bad that you're still alive."

A Chou tried to open his eyes and looked at the white beard master in front of him in a trance. There seemed to be a smile on his face. She wants to try to see more clearly, but she doesn't know anything. She didn't dare to close her eyes all night, because she was afraid that once she closed it, she would never open again.

No matter what, I survived.

"Are you awake? Get up and go cook!"

A Chou opened his eyes and heard a voice saying in his ear. He was stunned and began to look for the speaker. The speaker is the old man who saved her and her current master.

"Yes, Master."

A Chou went down and found that there was no pain on his body. He suddenly felt a burst of joy. Then he looked up at the master in front of him and asked doubtfully, "Kitchen, where is the kitchen?"

"When you go out, turn left is the kitchen, and there is only a little spiritual valley. You can cook some porridge."

"Yes."

Although she didn't quite understand what the master said, she still obediently went out and came to the kitchen. It is said to be a kitchen, but it looks very dilapidated. There are debris piled up everywhere, and the dust is also thick. The only place that looked clean was lost with a small cloth bag. She walked over and weighed it, as if it didn't seem to have any weight.

Is it possible that the master who saved himself is so poor? Poor master, he must be very capable, so that the master will not kick himself out. Otherwise, one more person's ration will be a heavy burden on the master! She thought, and then watered the yard, cleaned the kitchen little by little, and then washed the pot.

In the end, she was embarrassed when the fire rose. She hasn't done this before, so she can only feel for the fire. However, fortunately, although she hasn't done it herself, she has heard others say that Chai can't be solid or something...

He took two steps back, poured water into the pot, then took out a small bag and carefully held two handfuls of rice. Although the rice is a little less, it is of high quality. It is not the yellow rice she thinks of, but the crystal clear purple rice. After looking at the rice for a while, she didn't know why she always felt that it was not the same as the purple rice she had eaten before, but she didn't think much about it. She put it in the pot and waited next to her. Over time, the rice fragrance slowly penetrated out and permeated the whole room.

She just took two breaths and felt hungry. She carefully lifted the lid of the pot and watched the rice grains dance in the water, so she swallowed the saliva and covered the rice lid.

Anyway, only porridge is wrong, and she should make some small dishes. She thought about it and walked into the yard. But she couldn't see any cabbage or vegetables in the yard. She felt dizzy when she looked at it. Why is there no dish she knew here?

"What are you wandering around here!"

came over with a sharp voice, which made her suddenly a little unstable and almost fell down.

"Ah, I, I want to make some side dishes, only porridge..." She didn't finish her words, because she saw that Master White Beard's face had turned black now.

"This is not a dish, but my medicine garden!" His master said word by word.

"If I ask you to cook porridge, you just cook porridge. Don't interfere in other things. Don't ask many questions. Otherwise, get out of here!" After saying that, Master White Beard turned around and left, and his long sleeves actually threw out the sound of breaking the air. Ah Chou spit out his tongue and then returned to the kitchen.

Sitting on the edge of the stove, listening to the sound of rice porridge rolling in the pot, and then smelling the fragrance of rice, she felt that she was trapped in a torment. After a long time, she listened and felt that her voice was lower. She opened the lid of the pot and asked about the smell of rice. Looking at the purple porridge, she licked her lips and wanted to taste it, but she thought that there was only a little rice here by her master, so it was not easy to taste. She took two clean dishes and chopsticks, put the porridge in, and then went to call the master. Master White Beard asked her to take rice porridge and go to a grass pavilion in the yard to eat.

"This rice porridge..." Master White Beard looked at the sticky porridge with satisfaction. Just as he wanted to say something, but when he saw the flower slave he had just received, he ate the porridge in one breath and stroked his stomach. I couldn't help narrowing my eyes and asking, "Do you feel warm and comfortable after eating this porridge?"

"Uh-huh." Ah Chou nodded and looked at the porridge in Master White Beard's bowl with bright eyes. Master White Beard is more fierce. She dares not drool the porridge openly, but it's always good to look at it.

"Do you know that this spiritual valley is used to help people practice? It can clear the impurities in the human body. Because it contains aura, it is particularly rare!" Master White Beard said, and his voice was a little sharp!

"Isn't it used to fill your stomach?" Ah Chou asked strangely. She felt that this thing had a great effect on filling her stomach. After eating such a bowl of porridge, she felt that her stomach was not hungry at all, which was much better than eating dry steamed buns soaked in water!

"..." Master White Beard looked at Ah Chou in front of him and couldn't wait to swallow her. Then he waved his sleeve directly, and the bowls, chopsticks and porridge in front of him disappeared.

"You can't teach!" Master White Beard left this sentence, and the person disappeared. Ah Chou looked at the bowl in front of him and scraped it with chopsticks. It was already very clean. She sighed, then cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks in front of her, and then went to wash them. After washing back, she found that there was another pair of finished dishes and chopsticks in the kitchen, and she took them to wash them again. He muttered in his heart that this master was so strange that he began to eat with himself, and then suddenly became angry. Can people with beards be so moody?

She was a little entangled and couldn't help scratching her head. Although it's not a labor after washing, she still feels that what could have been done twice at a time is a loss!

After washing the dishes, she didn't know what to do. After she walked around the yard for the third time, she finally heard her master say, "Get in!"

She immediately went to her master's grass house. Her master's grass house was much more advanced than she began to lie down. Although most of the things were also made of rattan grass, the round curvature all showed that these were works of art.

However, there is still no soft decoration here, only a landscape painting hung on the wall.

After seeing her come in, her master looked at her and couldn't help scolding her: "Kneel down."

"Yes."

A Chou said reflexively, and then fell to his knees on the ground. Her master sighed, and the futon in front of her moved: "It's for you to kneel on this."

"Oh." Ah Chou knelt on the futon obediently, and then listened to her master's mouth.

"You used to be a mortal, but you won't be anymore. First of all, tell me why you fell at the bottom of this mountain. After you took the medicine yesterday, I went up and looked at it. It was a mess, showing that many people have been there.

A Chou did not hesitate and directly told what he had happened. Master White Bearded nodded: "The mountain people are ignorant. Take out the pearl and let me have a look."

A Chou was reluctant to give up, but thinking that the master was so poor and the porridge did not criticize him, he still obediently took out the pearls. Her master looked at the pearls twice and handed them to her.

"It's just a vulgar thing, but according to what you said, which disciple should go down the mountain to do things. This should be their compensation for disturbing you, but this thing is useless to you. It was useless at the beginning, but it will not be useful in the future.

After Master White Beard finished speaking, he threw the three pearls back to her. Ah Chou pinched the pearl and looked at the master in front of him. There was a faint warm current in his heart. The master was really good. Master is so poor here, but he still doesn't want his apprentice's things.

Master White Beard was a little embarrassed by her watery eyes and coughed twice. After A Chou withdrew his eyes, he carefully looked at her up and down: "How old are you this year?"

"Twelve years old."

"Oh?" Master White Beard answered, looked her up and down, and then nodded.

Master's eyes looked at her as if he were looking at a goods, which made Ah Chou shrink his shoulders. She doesn't like such a look, but she has no other choice now.

"You will live in the room you just came out of. There is a spiritual valley in the kitchen, and you are responsible for three meals a day. There is an acre of spiritual field behind the house. You are responsible for weeding and deworming. Remember, you are not allowed to touch the things in the yard, understand?

Master White Beard said faintly, and Ah Chou immediately nodded. The labor volume of an acre of land was not very large. She should be able to do it.
