Rural woman's true nature 015. For the sake of duck eggs

  Yang Tao instinctively felt that Xiaoyu and Shui Xiang must have heard her story of "The Ugly Duckling" and were thinking of ways to train the ugly grey duck that had once made them frown, just as she was about to walk towards Xiaoyu and Shui Xiang to listen to what those two girls were thinking, but saw Pei Yifan and a dark-skinned boy walking in.

  The boy was a head taller than Pei Yifan, with a sturdy and robust build, his skin a healthy dark color from being sun-kissed. He must be Da He, the big black one from Lu's family.

  The name is easy to remember and has a nice ring to it. If the character "大" were changed to "太", making it "路太黑", it would be even more memorable.

  "Grandma, we're back." Pei Yifan still had a small basket slung over his arm. His voice was already not loud when he called out to Grandma, and seeing so many people in the courtyard, he hastily made an even softer greeting, like the humming of a mosquito. "Mrs. Lu, Aunt Liu, Aunt Feng."

  A few people responded, just about to say something. Xiaoyu had already mysteriously pulled Lu Dahei's hand over, and Shui Xiang also ran over, pinching Pei Yifan's collar, opening her mouth in a small voice.

  "Yi Fan brother, come here for a moment."

  Pei Yifan hesitated to put down the small basket, looked at Shui Xiang in a daze, and in the past, these little girls never followed them together. But seeing Shui Xiang's determined look, Pei Yifan could only follow Shui Xiang slowly.

  Yang Tao saw Lu Dahei and Pei Yifan leaning forward, listening to Xiaoyu and Shui Xiang whispering something, with a few hints of confusion on their faces, and then looked at her side, already knowing that what she had expected was not wrong.

  She didn't want to stop them, curiosity is a child's nature, so let them go ahead. But thinking again, maybe the big auntie's family was pointing at that duck laying eggs, compared to satisfying the children's curiosity, eating is more important.

  Thinking so, Yang Tao had no choice but to walk towards a few people.

  "Xiao Yu, Shui Xiang, sister can tell you, if the duck turns into a white swan, it will fly away and won't stay at Xiao Yu's house anymore." Yang Tao warned very seriously. "At that time, Xiao Yu won't have duck eggs to eat anymore."

  No way! She believed that if she told them the truth at this moment, it would only be a fairy tale, telling people that as long as they had beautiful dreams in their hearts, they would definitely come true. They wouldn't understand and would continue to bully that duck. All she could do was scare them a little, hoping they would spare that poor grey duck for the sake of its eggs.

  Yang Tao's words were indeed very effective. Xiaoyu obviously hesitated for a moment. Shui Xiang looked at Xiaoyu and also felt that this was a big deal.

  "How about our family then?" Shui Xiang asked in a low voice, glancing at her mother, guessing that she would not agree with this matter.

  "Of course not." Yang Tao deliberately put on a serious face. "Not all ugly ducklings can become swans, even if they don't become white swans, ugly ducklings have their own uses too, right? You guys listen obediently, and sister will continue to tell you stories tomorrow."

  "Really?" Shui Xiang's eyes lit up immediately.

  "En en." Xiaoyu also hastily responded.

  Yang Tao let out a sigh, the Buddha said saving one life is better than building a seven-story pagoda, don't know if saving a duck's life counts. That that, although she also just looked at it from the perspective of the duck egg.

  On the other hand, Er Ya Tou was being driven crazy by Xiao San's non-stop running around the courtyard. She finally managed to catch him and sat him down on a small stool, but before his butt even touched the stool, he wanted to get up again. He wouldn't calm down for even a moment, and Er Ya Tou's expression had already become visibly impatient.

  "Let him be, Second Sister," Yang Tao couldn't help but laugh. This Second Sister, she can't even sit still herself, yet she wants to control her little brother.

  "It's all right, Second Sister-in-law, don't be afraid of him scolding you, he'll get tired after a while." Old Lady Lu also said.

  The second daughter glared at Little San for a moment before releasing him, and by the time he seemed to have barely stood up straight, they had already arrived in front of Yang Tao and the others.

  Yang Tao's eyes widened, these two girls have learned qinggong? What a formidable skill!

  "Big sister Taizi, big black brother is back, let's go see the goose!" Missed the grey duck, but still thinking about the goose.

  Yang Tao glanced at the sky and found it was still quite early, but thinking that the mansion was just at the entrance of the village, it was a bit too close to the outside. She didn't know if that weirdo had left or not, even if he wasn't a strange uncle, his appearance made people want to take another look, but the evil aura on him didn't seem like a good person, she instinctively felt that it would be safer to go tomorrow instead.

  "Second sister, I'm a bit tired, can we go tomorrow instead?" Yang Tao wasn't entirely making excuses, because she was indeed a bit tired.

  Looks like this little body is not doing well, slept in the afternoon and didn't do anything in the evening, just talked a bit more and that's it, really needs to be tempered.

  "Let's go!" Er Yaotou responded readily, looked around and didn't seem to find anything interesting, then pulled Yang Tao's hand. "Sister Taotao, let's sit on the stone at the entrance for a while!"

  "Alright!" said Yang Tao, leading the way out of the gate.

  Actually, Yang Tao wanted to ask Er Ya Tou about the place and era she was currently in. Although it didn't matter what dynasty it was, as long as she could live a good life, that was all that mattered. However, Yang Tao was someone who disliked being uncertain, and since she had no idea who the original owner of this body was, she wanted to know where she had ended up.

  "Second sister, what's the name of our village?" Yang Tao decided to start from small things, and estimated that even if she asked Second Sister who the current emperor was, Second Sister might not know.

  "Our village doesn't have a name." Er Ya Tou opened her big eyes with clear black and white pupils, looking at Yang Tao seriously. "It's not that I don't know, it's just that our village has never had a name. I heard my mother say that originally there were only a few households in our village, but later many people escaped to here from the north because of war, and some people from the town also came here feeling unsafe. It's said that many villages were formed after the war, all over there, and in those mountains." Er Ya Tou pointed with her hand.

  "Fight? Who's going to fight whom?" Yang Tao intentionally put on a fearful expression, okay she was hypocritical, but evoking the child's sympathy would get her to say more.

  As expected, Er Ya was deceived.

  "Sister Taizi isn't afraid, I heard from my mother that it was originally the Beichen country that fought a war, and it was fierce. It's said that they even changed emperors, but it has nothing to do with our Nan'an, so don't be afraid, don't be afraid!" Er Ya Tou said, while also giving Yang Tao's hand a few patronizing pats.

  Good grief! The Southern An and Northern Chen have seen a ghost! Yang Tao fiercely recalled the history she had studied in her heart, and finally believed that fate was actually a shameless thing, which had thrown her into an empty era.

  However, it's better to be in a parallel space, so she doesn't have to worry about changing history. Although, this history really has nothing to do with her anyway.
