Space Upgrade

A few days later, Xiaoxiao, peeling bamboo shoots at home, looked enviously at the new house next to the hunter's house from its starting building to its completion.

The Ning family had left their old house empty, where her family was now residing. After simple repairs, they could only make it so that it did not leak rain.

She wanted to live in a new house, wear new clothes, and buy pots, pans, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, sugar, octagonal cinnamon, fennel, and cumin…

As she thought about it, her gaze fell on a flower that had bloomed at the corner of the house.

The wildflowers were not very beautiful, but bees were flying around them.

Her eyes suddenly lit up. She stood up and shouted into the house, "Mom, I'm going out for a while!"

Madam Song was already used to her daughter's attitude. She looked at the porridge and steamed buns prepared in the kitchen and reminded her, "Go after you eat."

However, when she finished speaking, Xiaoxiao had already run far away. Madam Song only had time to see her back.

"Huh."

She thought Xiaoxiao couldn't stay home and went out to dig for wild vegetables again.

Her luck was indeed good. Every time she went out, she gained more than others.

She knew it had only been over ten days, but everyone in her family seemed much rosier than before.

Second Aunt Ning, who was strolling outside, coincidentally saw Xiaoxiao as she dashed into the forest. However, Second Aunt Ning was too embarrassed to follow her. There were many people nearby, and there would be a lot of gossip.

After she hit someone to snatch the prawns last time, the villagers said she had forced the eldest branch to snatch food from the wild boar. As long as she approached anyone from the eldest branch, the troublesome villagers would persuade her to accumulate merit for the child in her stomach.

She was not afraid of anything else but had to pay attention to the child. Moreover, the doctor had just said that her pregnancy was not stable.

Second Aunt Ning consoled herself. What good things could a child find in the mountains? Hmph, she didn't care!

This time, Xiaoxiao was patrolling the mountain with a purpose. She went no deeper but followed her memory in a certain direction.

She remembered seeing a large swarm of wild bees when returning home from fishing.

Where there were so many bees, there must be…

[It's a beehive! There's honey in the beehive! Master, we haven't recorded honey either! After this recording, I can upgrade! And I can complete the recording and upgrade at the same time!]

Xiaoxiao asked curiously, "Then, after the upgrade, do you have any new functions?"

The space chuckled and whispered to her. The more Xiaoxiao listened, the brighter her eyes became, and she was even more determined to get the beehive.

She had come prepared for this time. She had made some simple preparations before leaving, bringing a few tattered clothes.

Before taking action, she sifted through her clothes and tightened her cuffs. Then, she wrapped her head, face, and hands with her old clothes to make sure that all the places that could be exposed were covered. Only then did she raise a tree branch in her left hand and a long stick in her right hand and quietly move towards the gathering of bees.

A gray oval beehive was hanging on a tree seven to eight meters ahead.

Hundreds of bees entered and exited their homes to the sound of buzzing.

Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes and looked up from the seams of her clothes. She recalled that she had received a bee sting when the owner was younger. It was just a bump, but she was not sensitive, so she thought that this trip was not very dangerous.

Just as she finished thinking, she put down the branch and raised her long stick. She slapped the place where the beehive was connected to the branch. The oval beehive fell onto the thick grass and leaves.

The bees all came out. After finding the culprit, they all rushed over with a buzz, looking like they would not stop until she was stung to death.

Xiaoxiao was scared out of her wits. Although she knew she wouldn't die of an allergic reaction just because bees stung her, it didn't mean she wasn't afraid of pain. With so many bees, could she still see people?

It was better not to steal beehives by herself in the future…

With this thought in mind, she ran towards the beehive without slowing down.

Something strange happened. The moment Xiaoxiao touched the beehive, she disappeared with it.

[Ding! Recording successful! Space upgrade!]
