Why do I have the lowest fighting ability among the whole family?

Chapter 280 Past and Present Life (1)
"Have you heard? An immortal is coming to our village——"

Qin Zhaozhao grabbed Pei Shao's hand and spoke happily. She rubbed the clothes in the basin again and again, and said with a look of nymphomaniacal expectation: "It would be great if I could follow the immortals to cultivate immortality -"

"It's just a pity."

She turned to look at Pei Shao, then at herself, and shook her head in disappointment.

"Girls like us will never be able to leave the mountain village in our lives."

Pei Shao said nothing, lowered his head and rubbed the clothes in his hands silently, but he was thinking about something in his heart.

The place where they live is a small mountain village called Yaoshan Village, so named because it is backed by Yaoshan Mountain.

The people in the small mountain village are simple and kind, but they are also backward, decadent and feudal.

At least that's how it seems to Pei Shao.

Because she is a girl, she cannot eat eggs or meat. All good things must be chosen first for her younger brother, because he is the only male in the family and he wants to continue the family lineage.

And she is a girl who becomes someone else's family after she gets married.

Girls are not taken seriously in Yaoshan Village, whether it is her or Qin Zhaozhao.

But if you can follow the immortal...

Pei Shao looked at the sparkling river in front of him, with uncontrollable fantasies in his heart.

If she could also follow the immortals, wouldn't it be true that she could also learn those powerful immortal arts, so that she wouldn't have to wait until she grew up to get married and leave the bride price to her younger brother to find a wife?
But soon, Pei Shao shook his head, trying to drive this somewhat unrealistic idea out of his mind.

She lowered her head, just listened to Qin Zhaozhao's chatter, and washed her clothes in silence.

The relationship between her and Qin Zhaozhao is not actually a good one, but they are in sympathy with each other, and they would talk a few words together when they meet each other.

"I ve done washing."

After interrupting Qin Zhaozhao's rambling, Pei Shao stood up with a basin and washboard and said concisely to Qin Zhaozhao: "I'm going back first."

"Okay then." Qin Zhaozhao looked a little reluctant, but he didn't say much. After Pei Shao turned around and walked out for two steps, Qin Zhaozhao suddenly remembered something and stopped her.

"Pei Shao!" She raised her head, her eyes sparkling: "The immortal is coming to our village to see if we can learn immortal skills. I want to try it. What about you?"

Looking into Qin Zhaozhao's expectant eyes, Pei Shao's words of rejection rolled around in his mouth and finally swallowed them.

"Okay." she said.

Qin Zhaozhao narrowed his eyes with satisfaction and smiled.

Pei Shao is not as naive as Qin Zhaozhao. In comparison, she is much precocious.

She no longer believed in the idea of ​​following an immortal to learn magic and escaping from her home, and she had no illusions about it.

Compared with these illusory fantasies, she wanted to embroider two more handkerchiefs today and exchange them for a few copper coins to save her to support her in escaping from this house in the future.

Sure enough, as soon as she pushed open the courtyard door, it was like turning on some mysterious switch, and the woman's angry curses and the child's screams all reached her ears without missing a beat.

Pei Shao lowered his eyes, said nothing, and hung up the clothes to dry obediently.

But the woman who was holding the little boy's ears and teaching him a lesson seemed to suddenly become excited.

She left the chubby boy behind and stood in front of Pei Shao aggressively, speaking in a ferocious tone: "Why so late? You lose money! Are you slacking off again?"

"There are too many clothes today." Pei Shao lowered her eyes. Even though the hatred in her heart had grown wildly, her face still didn't show any trace of it. The woman snorted coldly and glared at Pei Shao fiercely.

"You better be!"

After saying that, she went to chase Little Fatty to feed him again.

"Yaozu, dear Yaozu, come and have a bite..."

Listening to the woman's doting voice, Pei Shao clenched his fists, feeling mixed emotions in his heart and not feeling very comfortable.

She still has a lot of work to do, chopping wood, carrying water, watering the ground, boiling water, and cooking.

Until dinner time in the evening, it was Pei Shao's rare rest time.

It's just that she is not qualified to eat the same meal as Pei Yaozu.

Pei Yaozu's bowl was filled with refined rice and vegetables with oily flowers, while her bowl was filled with watery porridge.

My grandparents and grandparents passed away early, and my father worked in the town and rarely came home once a month. Therefore, there were usually only three people at the dinner table, Pei Shao, Pei Yaozu, and the woman.

Somehow, the woman suddenly changed the topic to the "immortal magic" that Qin Zhaozhao talked about that morning.

"I heard that an immortal is coming to our village." She said as if by accident, but secretly she was closely watching Pei Shao's reaction.

Pei Shao had no reaction, but Pei Yaozu exploded when he heard this.

"Immortal? What kind of immortal?" He said arrogantly and unreasonably: "I want to be an immortal too!"

"You damn girl! It's best not to think about whether these things exist or not!" After the woman threatened Pei Shao viciously, she picked up Pei Yaozu's beloved child and coaxed him.

"Our Yaozu has been so powerful since we were young. We will definitely be chosen by the immortals to follow them into the immortal sect and learn immortal skills. From now on, I will also be the mother of the immortals..."

Thinking about her future life, the woman almost laughed out loud.

Only then was Pei Yaozu satisfied. He puffed out his chest and said proudly to the woman: "Then you have to kowtow when you see me in the future!"

"That's right! Our Yaozu is so promising, Mom is just waiting for you to be filial to Mom when you get rich!"

The woman immediately became proud. She took Pei Yaozu's hand and glanced sideways at Pei Shao.

But Pei Shao remained calm and showed no reaction.

The arrival of the immortal was exactly the news given by the village chief early this morning, saying that suitable children would be selected to go to the Immortal Sect to learn the magic of immortality. When the time comes, they will come to select them, and those who are selected can follow them into the Immortal Sect.

Because of this, many families have begun preparations, waiting for the whole family to follow the chickens and dogs to heaven if their children are chosen.

The woman had always had great confidence in Pei Yaozu and Du Miaomiao. As soon as she heard the news that the immortal was coming, she felt that Pei Yaozu would definitely be chosen, and she would also be able to enjoy the blessings when the time came.

Both of them were thinking about the immortal. As soon as they finished eating, the woman couldn't wait to drag Pei Yaozu around to show off.

And Qin Zhaozhao also knocked on the window from the back window.

"Pei Shao! Pei Shao!" She quietly stuck her head out from the hole in the back window and called Pei Shao, her tone excited.

"I heard that the immortal will come tonight, why don't we wait for him?"

Facing Qin Zhaozhao's bright eyes, she thought that this was indeed what she had promised during the day, so she did not refuse and turned around to follow Qin Zhaozhao.

The place where Qin Zhaozhao said the immortals would come was the grain drying field in the village. The middle of it had been cleared out and a large area was empty.
