Chapter 3 Grandpa Yun

The little peach tree spirit felt extremely flustered, frantically searching for her keys and locking the door. If it weren't for the little girl's memories, she probably wouldn't have been able to leave the house.

After finally locking the door and going out, she saw that the distance between her neighbors' houses and hers was at most two or three hundred meters. Although she was still a little dissatisfied and felt that it was too short, she only frowned.

The little peach tree spirit felt that its root system covered an area of ​​one mile. This house was so big, and the yard was so big, yet the distance between it and others was only two or three hundred meters. It was really too short.

Fortunately, she also knows that this is now the world of humans, and it cannot be compared to when she was a tree.

All I could do was sigh heavily…

He simply lowered his head and walked towards the place where everyone was dividing up the work, just as he remembered it.

"Yunxi, you're here to work too. You'll be living alone from now on, so you have to be strong. Your grandma is watching over you from heaven, so you can't let her worry."

When I was halfway there, I suddenly heard someone calling my name from the side. Anyone with ears could hear the kindness in their voice.

The little peach tree spirit was initially terrified, but when it recognized the voice of Aunt Li, who lived next door, it was no longer so frightened.

Forgive her, a peach tree that has spent thousands of years communicating only with wildflowers and weeds, and never with humans, so it's normal for her to be frightened.

Thinking back, Aunt Li was a very nice person. She would often come to our house to chat with my grandmother when she had nothing to do, which reduced my fear a little.

But another kind of panic arose. After all, Aunt Li knew what the little girl looked like, so she could only lower her head, pretend to look like the little girl, and respond softly.

"Aunt Li, Yunxi understands. Thank you for your concern."

Aunt Li looked at Yunxi, who had her head down, and sighed heavily in her heart. She felt that Yunxi was still so timid, and if she continued to be so timid when she lived alone, she would never be able to stand on her own two feet.

After all, every village has its bad apples, and I'm afraid the young girl might suffer some losses.

But as a neighbor, she couldn't say much, so she could only give a few words of advice: "If you need anything in the future, just come and find me. Don't be shy."

Yunxi sensed the goodwill in Aunt Li's words; after all, as a demon, she was best able to sense whether a person was sincere or not.

"Thank you, Aunt Li. Yunxi understands."

Aunt Li noticed that Yunxi kept her head down and never looked up when she spoke, so she knew that Yunxi was probably unable to bear the blow from her family and had retreated into her shell.

He could only sigh heavily and continue walking forward.

When the little peach tree spirit saw that she was all alone, she felt relieved, but at the same time, she felt that she couldn't continue like this.

She's already so scared because it's just a neighbor. What will happen when she's working with all the villagers, especially since she remembers being in school? That definitely won't work.

The little girl's studies have always been a major concern for her grandmother. She doesn't let her do much housework at home, hoping that she can focus more on her studies and find a job in the city so that her grandmother's pampered granddaughter won't have to work in the fields.

The little peach tree spirit felt that since she had taken over the body, she should fulfill the strongest desires within it so that she could use the body with a clear conscience.

After thinking it through, I silently cheered myself up, clenched my fists tightly, took a deep breath, and continued walking towards the brigade headquarters.

(From now on, we'll just use the name Yunxi instead of the little peach tree spirit.)

Yunxi lived some distance from the brigade headquarters, and since she wasn't familiar with the area yet, by the time she arrived at the headquarters, the brigade leader was already assigning tasks.

Yunxi stood silently at the back, looking at the people in front of her, comparing them with the little girl's memories, and memorizing them one by one.

That way, you won't mistake one for the other the next time you meet it.

The others also saw Yunxi, but they didn't go up to her, thinking that the girl might not be in a good mood right now. They just looked at her with concern and didn't ask her any more questions.

The brigade leader's surname was also Yun, and his name was Yun Deguang, but the younger generation, like them, usually called him Grandpa Yun.

Standing at the top, Yun Deguang saw Yun Xi behind him in line. Looking at her delicate and frail appearance, he sighed heavily in his heart.

There's only one girl left in the family. If we don't keep an eye on her, who knows what might happen?

After assigning tasks to the others, it was soon Yunxi's turn.

Following her memory, Yunxi called out "Grandpa Yun".

Looking at her thin and frail appearance, even though he couldn't see her face, he could see her thin arms and legs. In addition, there had been troubles at home, so he couldn't bear to let her do those field jobs, which were just too tiring.

“Little Stream! The work in the fields is too tiring. Go and cut pig feed. You only need to cut two baskets of pig feed a day, which is enough for four work points. When the grain is distributed, although it is not much, it will be enough for you to eat. So don’t do those hard jobs.”

Yunxi's mind raced for a moment, and she instantly realized what cutting pig feed was. However, cutting pig feed was usually a job that only elderly people with limited mobility, children under ten years old, and pregnant women who were about to give birth could do.

I never expected that Grandpa Yun would leave this task to me.

She breathed a sigh of relief. She knew her own situation. She used to be a tree, and now she had just become a person. If she were asked to work in the fields, she really wouldn't be able to do it.

"Grandpa Yun, thank you!"

Yun Deguang patted the hat on Yunxi's head and said with a hint of pity, "If you have any problems living alone, just come to Grandpa Yun. Don't be polite with Grandpa Yun."

"Understood, Grandpa Yun."

Seeing that Yunxi kept her head down, it was clear that she hadn't quite recovered. As outsiders, there wasn't much they could say. They could only hope that the little girl could get over her pain soon and live a good life in the future, so that she could repay the love and care of her family.

"Go ahead, go to the warehouse and get a sickle, go home and get a basket, then go up the mountain to cut pig feed."

"Okay, goodbye Grandpa Yun."

Yunxi was actually quite scared, especially when Grandpa Yun patted her head. She kept clenching her fists tightly to restrain herself from acting impulsively.

She worried that she might lose control and run straight up the mountain in fright, as she felt the mountain was the safest place for plants.

Only after leaving Grandpa Yun's side did I feel relieved. I thought about seeing Grandpa Qi in the warehouse soon, but I wasn't so scared anymore.
