Chapter 288 Past and Present Life (9)
The woman nodded indifferently and agreed, while Pei Shao pretended to get something and slipped into the house.

She had seen women hiding money before, so she basically knew where the money at home was.

For example, under the insoles of the two men's shoes, in the cracks of the bricks in the corners, and even worse, even the mouse nests were cleaned out and some broken silver was stuffed into them.

And Pei Shao was able to know these places thanks to Pei Yaozu.

The place where a woman hides money is very hidden, but she never avoids Pei Yaozu. Many times, Pei Yaozu will secretly take the money and go out to spend it. If he is discovered, he will blame Pei Shao.

Pei Shao has been beaten many times over the years because of these things.

Therefore, she almost has a deep memory of the places where a woman hides her money.

Pei Yaozu went out to play, while Pei Shao entered the house with his head lowered. The woman was still sitting outside eating melon seeds leisurely, not paying attention to what happened to her when she entered the house.

Pei Shao, on the other hand, rushed to find the place where she usually hid her money and dug out all the money she could find.

She had never been a little white rabbit who could only endure. She temporarily endured the insults and oppression from the mother and son, just to find an opportunity to bite back and tear off their flesh.

Now, the opportunity has come.

All families in Yaoshan Village are poor, and the Pei family is no exception.

Although the woman hid her money in many places, the total amount was only a dozen taels.

Pei Shao was not very interested in her broken silver. After thinking about it, he stuffed it into the house where Pei Yaozu lived.

She believed that with her brother's character, if he saw the money, he would definitely spend it immediately.

And she remembered that the woman wanted to use the money to renovate her family's house so that Pei Yaozu could get a wife when he was older.

Pei Shao wanted to laugh happily just thinking about it.

She quickly stuffed the money under Pei Yaozu's pillow, making sure that Pei Yaozu would find it immediately when he came back in the evening. Then she casually grabbed two hard-boiled eggs from under the table, and then ran out of the yard.

However, despite this, there was still a woman's yelling and cursing coming from behind.

"You bitch! How dare you take my eggs and give them away! How could I have raised such a white-eyed wolf like you!"

She took a broom and chased him aggressively for a few steps, but when she thought about Pei Shao's promise to bring her an elixir that would allow her son to learn magic, she reluctantly put down the broom.

But she made up her mind that when that little bitch came back, she would give her a good beating to vent her anger.

Pei Shao, on the other hand, distracted himself while running, quickly peeled off the egg shell, and then stuffed the egg into his mouth.

Although the family has old hens that lay eggs, most of the eggs are saved and sold in the town for money.

The occasional leftovers were cooked and eaten by Pei Yaozu. It was ridiculous to say that this was the first time she had tasted eggs since she had grown so big.

It's not that the family is really so poor that they can't open the pot, it's just that the woman is stingy to her.

At home, Pei Yaozu ate eggs whenever he wanted and meat whenever he wanted.

But she couldn't taste the smell of meat at all except during the Chinese New Year.

Even if meat is occasionally added to the dish when cooking, the woman will count the number of pieces of meat in advance, just to be afraid that she will eat it secretly while cooking, and every time the dish is meaty, the woman will not allow her to touch it. There were so many thoughts in his mind, but Pei Shao's movements were not slow at all.

It was almost time to set off. Qin Zhaozhao stood at the place agreed upon by the two and waited anxiously, while looking into the distance.

Just when she was so anxious that she was about to go find Pei Shao, she saw Pei Shao running towards her.

"Shao Shao!" Qin Zhaozhao grabbed Pei Shao's hand anxiously: "Let's go quickly!"

The people from Tayun Sect were gathering not far away, while Elder Tianji turned around to explain something to Shu Ze.

Seeing Qin Zhaozhao's figure, Rong Shu waved towards her and motioned for her to come over.

Almost all the people in Yaoshan Village gathered below and looked up, feeling even more envious and jealous of Qin Zhaozhao.

The woman did not follow him out, but Pei Yaozu stood in the crowd with several other children.

It's just that he was not interested in these, and he didn't pay attention to Pei Shao who was following Qin Zhaozhao. Instead, he concentrated on squatting on the ground and playing with his toys.

However, someone below saw Pei Shao and couldn't help but whisper to the people next to him. However, because they were in front of the immortal, they did not dare to speak too loudly and only dared to whisper below.

"Isn't that a girl from the Pei family? Why are you standing with the immortal?"

"Well, Girl Pei and Girl Qin have a good relationship, and Girl Qin is going to become an immortal now, hey..."

Some people lamented.

But neither Pei Shao nor Qin Zhaozhao heard all this. Qin Zhaozhao held Pei Shao's hand tightly, for fear that she would disappear if he let go for a while.

Soon it was time to set off.

Elder Tianji waved his hand and released a small boat. He seemed to wave his sleeves casually, and his clothes fluttered. The wind rustled, and the small boat also faced the wind and the noise became louder and louder.

It soon became large enough to accommodate hundreds of people. Elder Tianji waved his hand again, and the size of the boat was fixed. At the same time, clouds appeared under everyone's feet and floated people onto the boat.

Seeing all this, the people watching below all widened their eyes.

Pei Shao and Qin Zhaozhao stood together, and they stood at the end of the boat a little helpless.

Driven by Elder Tianji's wishes, the boat rose into the sky and flew towards the direction of Taoyun Sect.

Seemingly sensing the embarrassment of the two, Rong Shu walked over, put her hand on the railing of Class A, looked at the scenery passing by below, and chatted with the two.

"Don't be nervous, the flying magic weapon is very fast and will be there in a moment."

She turned her head and glanced at Pei Shao, then continued: "You have no spiritual roots and cannot practice. When you get to Taoyun Sect, come with me first and I will arrange a job for you."

After hearing this, Qin Zhaozhao asked nervously before Pei Shao could speak.

"What can you do without spiritual roots?"

Seeing her nervous look, Rong Shu almost laughed out loud. She stretched out her hand to rub Qin Zhaozhao's head and explained: "In addition to monks, there are also many mortals in the sect. These people are needed for carrying water and farming. To complete it, the sect will also give them a certain amount of spiritual stones and contribution points in exchange for things every month.”

"If I go and talk, I might be able to find a better job for her, as a keeper of ancient books or something like that... This is much easier than carrying water and farming."
