Just as he was about to open his mouth to speak, one of the children spoke first, with a look of fear in his eyes.

"She seems to be Niu Xiaoni."

"What Niu Xiaoni? What Ma Xiaoni?"

"Niu...Xiao Ni, is this true?"

"I saw it before when Master sent me the plaque. It should be correct."

Nier knew that what happened before must have been widely spread. Although she might not recognize the person, she would always hear some news about herself.

Normally, resurrection from the dead would be described as somewhat unusual, and indeed the event itself was quite unusual.

After taking a quick glance at the group of little brats, she no longer had the arrogance she had just now. Instead, she shrank her neck and looked at them cautiously, afraid that she would reveal that she was Niu Xiaoni'er.

If it was true, wouldn't it be normal for her to be resurrected even if she offended someone she shouldn't have offended, and for the person who bullied her to be unlucky? And the behavior just now was definitely not something a normal person could do.

"Humph, I don't believe it. How could it be such a coincidence that she is Niu Xiaoni."

Nier found it a little funny. How come this man wasn't as tough as before? His voice was getting smaller and smaller, with a hint of guilt in it. He was trying to save face but still saying harsh words.

The corners of his mouth curled up, looking forward to what expressions they would have when they heard his name.

"You are right, I am Niu Xiaoni."

Those people were so shocked that they were speechless, but there was one person who was still stubborn, "You said you were Niu Xiaoni'er, why should we believe you? Don't lie to us."

One of them said with certainty: "I remember now, she is Niu Xiaoni, but she is wearing different clothes than that day."

Before he could finish his words, he was hit on the head. "You only boost others' morale and destroy your own prestige."

He rubbed his head aggrievedly, "I'm telling the truth."

"Why not say it sooner."

Another blow on the head.

"I just told you, but you didn't believe it."

Nier thought these kids were quite interesting.

A few people looked at each other, took a few steps back and tried to run away.

"Don't go! If you go, bad luck will keep following you~"

If others said such things, you could just ignore them, but she is Niu Xiaoni, and the elders in her family say that she might have some magical powers.

There weren't many new things in the village, but if there was anything new, it would have to be talked about over and over again. These kids heard this a lot, so they were naturally a little scared.

He stopped running and asked tremblingly, "What...what are you going to do? We are not easy to eat."

Nier burst out laughing. It turned out that they thought she was a monster and wanted to eat children. "I won't eat you."

Seeing the man on the other side heaving a sigh of relief, the smile on his face faded, “But you have to listen to me.”

There was a little child who was very unconvinced. He raised his eyebrows and wanted to ask "Why?" But when he saw the other people's cowardly looks, he swallowed his words back.

Maybe this person is really someone who should not be offended as the adults say. I'd better be careful, otherwise I will always be unlucky and who can stand it.

A brave child asked: "What do you want us to do? We don't want to kill people, burn things, or steal."

Nier felt that this child was quite principled. Even though he was so scared, he did not agree to do anything.

"I will not let you commit murder or arson, nor will I let you steal or do anything immoral."

"It's just that if I need you guys to help me, you have to come and help me. For example, I have something to ask you right now."

Hearing Ni'er say this, they all raised their eyes and stared at her moving lips.

"Don't stay near me."

Several people suspected that there was something wrong with their ears. That's it. Don't make it too simple.

Although they could just walk away, they still worried about bad luck. “So, nothing bad will happen after we leave, right?”

Nier shook her head, "No."

Several people were getting ready to leave, feeling a little nervous. The man who had just threatened them wondered if it might not be a good idea to just leave, so he ran up to Ni'er.

"You look like you're here to pick wild vegetables. How about we help you? Please forgive me and let us go."

Ni'er had only wanted to have a quiet place to study, but she unexpectedly found something unexpected. If they wanted to dig, then go ahead. "Go somewhere far away and don't disturb me."

The kids were in their noisy prime, so if they weren't making noise here, they would go somewhere else and dig wild vegetables for fun. They wouldn't disturb others, and if they agreed to let them work, they wouldn't feel like they would be chased by bad luck in the future.

The children in front of her quickly ran away and stayed far away. They glanced at her from time to time, but she just stood there motionless. Although they were curious about what Ni'er was doing, no one dared to ask and they all just kept working.

It was a comfortable feeling to be undisturbed. When they had finished learning, they were still digging. Nier walked nearby and saw that there was a pile of mushrooms next to each of them. They should be able to sell them for a good price.

"Okay, put all the mushrooms you picked here and you can all go."

A few kids did as they were told and left, “We’ll come back tomorrow.”

Nier just thought that she would let them dig once today, and she didn't take it seriously when she heard them say they would come again tomorrow.

Children are always attracted by new things, and they may go somewhere else tomorrow.

I didn't expect that a casual remark could be so scary. I don't know what those people who passed the message said. It seems that I described myself as a man-eating monster. It seems that this has its advantages, at least it can scare them.

I had a fruitful day today. Seeing the money in the system rising rapidly, I was so happy that I skipped home.

As soon as it got dark, the workers went home to rest. Nier looked at her own house in the distance and felt very relieved that she would be able to move in soon.

But there is only one set of table and chairs. It would be better if there was a set in each room so that I could write there. I have been to rich people's homes before, and they all had a dressing table. I am waiting to get one for my mother.

Suddenly I felt that the little money in the system was not enough to spend. In addition to selling tofu and selling recipes to restaurants, could I do some other small business?

I don’t know how Zhang the Ceramic is doing, whether he can make the squat toilet or not. I hope to get good news from him tomorrow.

Jinshui arrived home early and saw his mother still lying on the kang, looking listless and drowsy. "Mom, I'm going to make dinner. I picked a lot of mushrooms today, so I should be able to have a full meal."

"I also planted some wild vegetables yesterday. They will be ready to eat in a while. When the vegetables grow, I can go to the mountains to dig some. Then I won't be as hungry as I have been recently."

The second son's wife's tears flowed down her cheeks and fell directly onto the pillow.

"Your father doesn't deserve a daughter as good as you."
