Transmigration: I Have Storage Space in the Apocalypse-Chapter 8 - 00: Little Aunt Belongs to the Hamster

```

——————

Zhang Shanni's eyes were red as she deeply bowed to the elders who were still trying to comfort her. Before the tears could fall, she left with Xie Jingchen without looking back.

There were still remnants of the original owner's emotions inside her body, and she held the same respect for these elders who truly cared for the original owner.

Zhou Dahu saw the always obedient and filial Zhang Shanni leave Shanglin Village like that, muttering from the side of her mouth, "What a sin, those damned parents!" She was hitting her chest in distress, sitting blankly at the entrance of the hall, watching the sensible Zhang Shanni take each step, leaving footprints as she walked out of Shanglin Village and followed the tall young man, getting further and further away...

Xie Jingchen walked ahead, carrying the large backpack he brought back, while Zhang Shanni still wore his long coat that he had taken off. Firstly, because she was a woman and had fallen into the water, she could easily catch a cold, and secondly, it was now nearly four o'clock in the afternoon, and as the mountain breeze picked up, the temperature began to drop.

Every year after the golden autumn, the closer to the mountain, the greater the temperature changes in the morning and evening. In Shanglin Village, which is already by the mountain, the mountain breeze starts around four or five o'clock, and the temperature drops very quickly.

Zhang Shanni quietly followed behind him, struggling to keep up with his long strides—who would have thought that her body, even if strong, was actually slender and flat, with a height that was probably at most one meter sixty! Looking at her slender arms, she even doubted whether the original owner weighed eighty pounds!

Looking at the big man ahead, Zhang Shanni became even more determined about the decision she had made earlier. After all, the original owner had already laid down the reasons for her, no reason not to use them!

The most important thing was that when the original owner's grandfather died, she was nearly four years old, and when her grandmother died, she was six years old. In the countryside, a six-year-old child could already help parents with work.

Since she could feed herself, the original owner began helping Old Lady Zhang with chores, starting by digging up insects to feed the chicks or wild vegetables to feed the pigs. By the time she was six, she was already helping sweep the house with a broom and cooking pig feed!

Having grown up under harsh criticism, how could she not be sensible? It was just her bad luck; back then her grandmother indeed gave her a gold ring to keep for her dowry, but fate was cruel, and it was soon discovered by Old Lady Zhang and confiscated!

Previously, the original owner had still fantasized that one day her parents would also give her the gold ring to bring to her marriage. Now it seemed, it was nothing but a joke!

As for the gold ring she took out, among the pile of 'junk' jewelry in her Space Superpower, it was average in weight, about eight or nine grams, which, for a men's ring, was not considered too heavy.

And in the original owner's memory, there was no clear price for gold, but she estimated that one gram could sell for at least thirty big silver coins, because it was definitely worth a common worker's monthly wage!

Besides, seven or eight years have passed, and even if black gold's value had decreased, it wouldn't be that cheap!

This way, her ring was equivalent to returning the young man's betrothal gift! Now she felt much more at ease, at the very least not having to consider herself as 'meat' anymore!

Now that she is new to this treasure land, it is better to keep a low profile and not let people notice her abnormalities!

In her opinion, this era could indeed be called a 'treasure land'. Although it was still somewhat turbulent: no major wars, but endless small conflicts, compared to the apocalypse environment she previously lived in, it was simply paradise!

Moreover, the original owner's body was very good, her strength was no less than that of the adult men here. She often went into the deep mountains alone to hunt wild chickens for a snack. Although she did not have any techniques or moves, relying purely on strength to throw stones at her prey, she managed not to starve, which was commendable!

"Um," Zhang Shanni had to call out as she saw the person in front moving further away, and realized that she did not even know the name of the young man! Previously, she heard her Uncle Grandpa calling him 'Shitou', right? This looked like a nickname, should she call him that?

Or maybe, Xie... second brother?!

Although Zhang Shanni's voice was very soft, Xie Jingchen heard it. He paused his steps, slightly turned his body, and seeing the little girl lagging three or four yards behind, he finally realized that their pace was incompatible. Hurrying back a couple of steps to her side, he hesitated for a moment, then decisively grabbed her delicate wrist, dropped a "My name is Xie Jingchen." and continued pulling her along without looking back.

The sharp-eyed Zhang Shanni, in her astonishment, noticed that the ears of the big boy in front of her were red. Looking at their surroundings in the wild countryside, with no villages ahead or shops behind, and not a single person in sight on the yellow dirt path!

"Wait, wait!"

Zhang Shanni's surroundings became more and more unfamiliar as they walked on, so she quickly stopped trying to hold onto the imposing and powerful him and explained:

"Xie, Xie Jingchen, I have some things I need to pick up, let's take this small path."

Xie Jingchen was momentarily stunned, then saw her pulling him towards a mountain path next to them. They walked for another nearly twenty minutes before turning into a dense bamboo forest and stopping at a pile of rocks. They were already far enough from the main road that it would take an ordinary person at least half an hour to get there, fortunately, this path also led to Qingfeng Village.

"Xie Jingchen, wait here for a moment, I need to pick up some stuff!" said Zhang Shanni, and after scanning her surroundings, she picked a rather sharp piece of rock from the ground, weighed it in her hand, eyed the big man beside her casually, and put it into the pocket of her long coat.

Xie Jingchen found it odd to hear her call his full name. Before he could say anything, he was stopped by her consecutive actions—

Zhang Shanni had managed to take good control of her new body along the way. With her strong spiritual power, adapting to a new body was a piece of cake. She jumped twice on the spot, testing the original body's bouncing power, and having gotten a rough idea, she took a few running steps for momentum, leaped and climbed, scaling up to a hidden spot almost four meters high on the steep rocky mountain. When she pushed aside the purposefully created thicket of thorns, in Xie Jingchen's somewhat incredulous gaze, she revealed a small hole only fifty centimeters tall.

Is this little girl a hamster?

Seeing her swiftly take out a cloth feed bag that looked swollen, and then not come down but instead tiptoe higher, she took the stone shard from her pocket that she had picked up earlier, compared it to a clump of soil, and started digging efficiently.

If Xie Jingchen still didn't know what Zhang Shanni was doing now, then he might as well retire from the army and go home to farm.

Originally he thought the little girl's behavior earlier was quite clever and intelligent. As it turns out, it seems he really has stumbled upon a treasure.
