Reborn as a snake, creating a magic method in the real world

Chapter 47

When Hu Xiaocao returned home, Wu Yuan was seeing a woman.

"Grandpa Wu, how is my mother?"

The woman's eyes were slightly red, as if she had just cried, she wiped the corners of her eyes, "Your Grandpa Wu said that as long as I rest for a while, I will get better and better."

Hu Xiaocao's eyes lit up, "Really, that's great! I knew it would be effective to worship Grandpa the Mountain God."

Wu Yuan on the side looked pitiful, looked at the elated Hu Xiaocao, pursed his lips, and looked at the woman beside him with a begging look, but finally said nothing.

Hu Xiaocao, however, sensed something was wrong, "Mom, you're almost healed, why are you unhappy? You're not lying to me, are you?"

The woman forced a smile, "Happy, mom is so happy that she almost cried, besides, if you don't believe me, ask Grandpa Wu."

Looking at Hu Xiaocao's innocent eyes, Wu Yuan nodded with difficulty.

"Great, then I'm going to cook."

Hu Xiaocao jumped outside to collect firewood.

After she walked away, Wu Yuan sighed, "You can't hide your illness. Xiaocao is a smart child. She will know it sooner or later."

The woman wiped the teardrops from the corners of her eyes, "Let her be happy for a few days, Xiaocao is really miserable, hey, sometimes I think, if I die, maybe Xiaocao won't be so tired."

Wu Yuan's face changed when he heard that, "How could you have such an idea, Xiaocao has no father, do you still want her to have no mother!"

The woman's cloudy pupils now burst out with a gleam of light, "Uncle Wu, don't worry, even if it's for Xiaocao, I will work hard to survive. I still have to wait to see her get married."

Wu Yuan left some herbs, gave some instructions, and then left.

The woman's condition improved for a while after taking evening primrose-based herbal medicine, but then it became worse. She would break out into a heart-wrenching cough in the middle of the night, and she couldn't sleep well all night long.

Her face was so pale that she would fall down when the wind blows, and at this time, Hu Xiaocao would hold the woman's hand tightly, fearing that she would disappear in the blink of an eye.

After the small temple was built, Hu Xiaocao ran more frequently, almost rain or shine, and reported there every day.

Many villagers passing by would see Xiaocao kowtow and pray to bless her mother to recover as soon as possible, so they couldn't help but show sympathy and pity.

"This little grass is pitiful. I heard that my mother is even more seriously ill, so she pins her hopes on the illusory mountain god."

"Where are the mountain gods? These are all feudal superstitions."

"Speak softly, don't let Xiaocao hear it, the child is just relying on this, and he is still building a small temple, if you poke it, it won't hurt people's heart."

The villagers sighed and walked away, looking at Hu Xiaocao, they just felt pitiful, and they would do more to help where they could usually help.

On this day, the kind-hearted neighbor Aunt Zhang sent some eggs to replenish the health of the mother and daughter. Hu Xiaocao ran home as if he had found a treasure, and presented it to the woman like a treasure.

The woman shook her head and rubbed Hu Xiaocao's withered grass-like hair, "Mom doesn't like eggs, you can eat them yourself."

Eggs may be very common to some people, but in the eyes of the mother and daughter, they are already extremely precious food, and the eggs in the family are all saved and sold for money.

Eating one feels like a crime

The mother and daughter couldn't bear to eat it at all. Since the last time they ate eggs, Hu Xiaocao felt like it had happened in her previous life. The daily meals were rice with pickles, and there was no meaty smell at all.

Ordinary eggs are already a rare delicacy to them.

Hu Xiaocao was resolute, holding up the egg and saying, "No, mom, eat the eggs quickly. If you eat eggs to replenish your body, you can recover faster."

Unable to defeat Hu Xiaocao, there was nothing she could do, so the woman ate two.

There was only one egg left, but Hu Xiaocao made no move.

The woman couldn't help asking strangely: "Why don't you eat the grass?"

Hu Xiaocao couldn't help but swallowed his saliva, as if he thought of something, "I'll take it out and eat it!"

Seeing Hu Xiaocao running away, the woman shook her head with a smile, "This child, even if he eats an egg, he still wants to run out."

As everyone knows, Hu Xiaocao ran to the mountain temple with the egg.

"Grandpa Mountain God, look what I brought you."

Although she knew that this mountain statue made of mud would not reply to her, Hu Xiaocao still talked to herself. Over the past few days, she had become accustomed to telling what she saw, heard, and what was on her mind.

It was as if the mountain god statue in front of me could really hear.

"Aunt Zhang gave me three eggs. In order to help mom get better quickly, she ate two. I brought another one to you."

Hu Xiaocao babbled, while peeling the eggs, looking at the round and plump egg whites in front of her eyes, exuding a faint fragrance, Hu Xiaocao took a deep breath and licked her lips.

It took a lot of willpower to hold back and not take a bite of the egg.

"Grandpa Mountain God, you ate my eggs, you must bless my mother to get well soon."

When people start to be helpless, superstition will become the last hope. Hu Xiaocao is too young to understand the meaning of superstition. She is just too filial.

Just when Hu Xiaocao was about to put the egg down, there was the sound of "da da" footsteps behind her.

Originally thinking it was a few villagers passing by, Hu Xiaocao turned around and saw a strange man.

Hu Xiaocao knew all the uncles and uncles in the village, but he had never seen the man in front of him before.

She looked confused and was about to ask.

A rag covered her mouth and nose, and she smelled a pungent smell instantly. Immediately afterwards, Hu Xiaocao lost consciousness, and the egg in her hand rolled to the ground.

After the man finished all this, seeing no one around, he hugged Hu Xiaocao and went into the forest not far away.

Only the mountain god made of mud has witnessed all this.

The egg that was originally used for offerings fell to the ground, was stained with dust, became dirty in an instant, and was finally crushed by the man's footsteps.

……

Not long after the man got into the forest, he met several other people.

One of them looks relatively strong and has bulging muscles. He seems to be a practitioner. He has fierce eyes and does not look like a good person.

The other person was as thin as a bamboo pole, and he also had a sinister look, and his eyeballs were a little yellow. When he moved around, it always felt like he was calculating something, which made people feel a little uncomfortable.

All in all, this group of people does not seem to be a good person.

"Yang Chengxing, you are so fast."

"I didn't see her alone now, and there was no one else around. It happened to be a good opportunity to make a move, so I just brought her back. It can be considered a good start for us."

It turned out that the man's name was Yang Cheng, and they were all human traffickers, planning to abduct and sell children and women in the nearby towns and sell them to other places.

Yang Cheng happened to be stepping on a spot nearby, and met Hu Xiaocao who was worshiping next to the temple, so he brought it back.

In fact, in urban and rural areas, small places are easier to get, not to mention that there is no surveillance, and if you want to call the police, you have to go to the town, so you will miss the best time.

In big cities, there are electronic eyes everywhere, and traffic police patrols from time to time, and there is a risk of exposure if you are not careful.
