Transmigrated as a Peasant Baby Who is Pampered by All

Chapter 341: Chapter 237: Surprise

”Ling’er, Ling’er, quickly help me find something!”

In the space, Xiaomi ran towards the warehouse, loudly calling for the Artifact Spirit.

”Master, what are you looking for?”

The Artifact Spirit is everywhere; even if it was at the edge of the space a second ago, it can appear next to Xiaomi the next second.

”I remember that in the resources I collected before, there were many books about martial arts, where did you put them? Quickly help me find them.”

As soon as the words were spoken, several books appeared in front of Xiaomi.

One must admit, the Artifact Spirit is impressive, fully aware of the appearance of every item in the space.

She quickly skimmed through a few books, then picked out two of them.

”Military boxing?” This is good, and it’s even a beginner’s self-learning manual; surely it’s relatively easier to learn!

Just not sure if there’s more after the beginner level.

But that’s not important; I’ll just practice haphazardly for now, improving my body’s flexibility is enough.

Just as she was about to open it, Ling’er asked in confusion, ”Master, are you going to learn martial arts?”

”Yeah, my second sister is about to go to the county to learn embroidery. By then, I’ll be the only one at home, so I have to find something to pass the time.”

For Xiaomi, embroidery was something she had never considered.

Of course, even sewing a patch was crooked, she wasn’t cut out for that.

Reading wasn’t much use to her right now either.

After all, she knew almost all the characters she needed to know; being a daughter, in this world, she couldn’t take the imperial exam, and it wasn’t convenient to show herself in public; everything was very limited.

So for Xiaomi now, the only thing to do is to grow up quickly.

Although she had already celebrated her seventh birthday, she was still a child, and after fainting on the mountain before, her parents wouldn’t allow her to enter the town alone.

Without being able to go to the town, there were many fewer things to do.

So before growing up, she just needed to secretly aid the family’s farming and breeding businesses, then find something to do to pass the time!

Thinking this way, it didn’t seem so boring after all.

However, just as Xiaomi opened the military boxing manual, Ling’er asked perplexedly, ”But Master, we have ready-made martial arts; why don’t you learn those?”

Xiaomi’s movements instantly stopped: ”Ready-made martial arts? Where?”

How had she never seen it?

”It’s under the main room’s desk, don’t you often go to light incense there? Didn’t you notice?”

Xiaomi looked bewildered: ”Really?”

How many years has it been? She hadn’t noticed even once?

Ling’er hurriedly confirmed it was true and urged her to go have a look.

Xiaomi, half-believing, went to the main room. The incense she last lit was still burning, about half remaining. As she entered the room, a piece of incense ash fell, revealing a bit of red sparks on the incense.

This place Xiaomi had been to hundreds of times, very familiar with it.

She took big steps towards the desk, bowed first out of habit, then got a bit closer.

The desk was wide and thick. On the desk were only two spirit tablets, an incense burner in front of the tablets, beside it were incense sticks that never ran out, and a fire starter that was never used up.

Besides that, there was nothing else on the desk.

And underneath the desk...

Two meditation cushions, four table legs, what else?

”Ling’er, where’s the thing you mentioned? Why can’t I see it? Is it invisible or something?”

If that’s true, then it’s understandable she hadn’t noticed it all these years, right?

After all, even Ling’er is in an invisible state; finding another invisible object would also be normal.

However, the next second, Ling’er denied it: ”No, Master, look under the table surface, there’s a compartment, the gap is quite small, so it’s not easy to find.”

Following Ling’er’s explanation, Xiaomi indeed quickly found it, a very narrow compartment, not even a palm thick.

Inside it was dark, shielded by the shadow of the tabletop, making it indeed very hard to discover.

Upon closer inspection, near the entrance to the compartment, were the spines of two books lying side by side, parallel to the surface of the table.

”So there’s such a hidden way to stash things, I thought it was just the table, but it’s not!”

Xiaomi was speechless, but still eagerly used her two fingers to pull the two books out from the side.

”Free Sword Technique? Carefree Sword Technique?”

Xiaomi’s cheek twitched; the names were too casual, right?

Aside from being sword techniques, they didn’t reveal any distinctive or useful information, did they?
