Chapter 4: The Little Bell
"That's it, don't say anything yet, let's go with me first!" the middle-aged man said when he saw that Su Ling had been trembling. "Your mouth is bruised, you've been swimming in the water for a long time, haven't you?"
"yes, it seems like a long time, but I don't know how long it has been. Su Ling hugged his body as tightly as he could. I followed the middle-aged man all the way to a room.
called someone to take care of Su Ling again, and soon two young women dressed as maids came. First put some slightly warmer water for Su Ling to soak. The water temperature is not high, but for Su Ling at this time, it is already very warm.
After soaking for a while, Su Ling felt warmer, and the maid brought some warmer water to soak her. Finally, the normal temperature of the water used for bathing, she took a comfortable bath. I didn't expect these two maids to be very good at serving people!
She had been soaking in cold water for too long, and it was indeed not suitable to soak in very comfortable hot water as soon as she came, which was not good for her body.
When he had finished bathing, he brought her clean clothes.
"There's only our clothes here, don't dislike it!" said one of the maids with a smile. looked at Su Ling's changed clothes, but they didn't look like a maid's dress at all.
"I don't even have any clothes with me, and even if I do, I can't wear them now. I'm glad you can lend me your clothes. Su Ling smiled, then took his shirt and put it on.
However, the clothes are longer, after all, the two maids look fourteen or fifteen years old, a little older than her. Although it can be rolled up a little, it still looks a little weird, and it looks a bit like a child stealing an adult's clothes.
It's kind of funny to look like this. Su Ling laughed to herself.
The two maids also laughed, "There is no big boat like you, this dress is a little inappropriate, you can only get together first." ”
"It's okay, let's do this first!" Su Ling thought it was already very good. At least, she was lucky! After the previous cold, she was really happier to be able to wear clean and warm clothes in the warm cabin now.
"Why don't you rest for a while, I'm afraid I'll choke after soaking in the water for so long!" said the maid with a smile.
"Who are you calling the shots here? Should I go and say thank you?" The person who rescued her on the ship earlier was obviously not the owner of the fleet, and since the people here saved her, she should also go and thank her.
Otherwise, it seems too rude.
"Let's talk about it tomorrow! It's all this hour! You better rest early. ”
"Okay then, I'll go to sleep first!" Su Ling went to sleep first. The room is really warm, and the bedding still smells of sunshine, which is really comfortable. It didn't take long for Su Ling to fall asleep.
I slept well this night, and it was almost noon when Su Ling got up. The sun shone warmly, and she stretched out in the sun. She got up, folded the quilt, and went to wash. Someone had already prepared her toiletries.
When she was washed, the maid who borrowed the clothes last night called Tiange came to help her comb her hair. She really doesn't know how to take care of her long hair at this end, as long as she is used to it before, most of the time it is a casual bunch, and she doesn't like to spend too much time on hairstyles.
She can't comb the complicated bun of this era.
Su Ling sat in front of the bronze mirror and watched as Tiange helped her comb her hair and put on a few simple pieces of jewelry. "Thank you! I really don't know how to comb my hair like that. Su Ling laughed brightly.
"It's just a small thing, no need to say anything thanks. Looking at you, you look like a rich daughter! I didn't ask you last night, what's your name?"
Su Ling was stunned for a moment, since she was going to stay away from the Su family, she naturally couldn't tell others her real name and surname. "I've been sold into a big family as a maid since I was a child, and I don't know what my surname is. Everyone in the house calls me Little Bell. ”
"Little Bell, it's a cute name. Tiange smiled, "My son-in-law wants to see you, you can come with me!"
"Hmm. Su Ling followed behind Tiange and walked all the way. In the sunlight, she carefully looked at her surroundings. The direction taken by this fleet is really the opposite of the Su family's fleet. The Su family wants to go to the capital, so naturally they go all the way to the north.
Then the flotilla is naturally going south, but it doesn't know where to stop.
In fact, after leaving the Su family, she didn't know where she should go, and in the future, she didn't know what to do.
Soon I entered a room, and it was very bright, the windows were open, and the wind blew in, and the sun shone in, but it was very bright. Maybe there are a lot of charcoal basins in the house, even if there is a cold wind, it doesn't make people feel cold.
"Childe, this is the person who was rescued on the boat last night. Hato introduced. Su Ling looked at the young man in blue sitting there, fourteen or fifteen years old, with some greenness on his face, but he had a straight face and sharp eyes, which would make people forget his age at once.
Such a teenager is really unusual! The young man glanced at Su Ling lightly, "After the girl fell asleep last night, someone chased people all the way. He also specially asked me if the people on the boat had seen a little girl of eleven or twelve. Should you explain this to me?"
"I ...... I ......" Su Li bit her lip, it was really a little hard to say, there was no real reason for her to run away. It's just an instinctive desire to leave.
"Isn't it hard to say, in that case, I'm afraid I can't keep someone like you on this ship. I think I'd better give you to those people. The boy said indifferently.
"Don't, don't give me to those people. Su Ling waved his hand, "I'...... I can't go back with those people, you can save people to the end, send Fo'a to the west, help me!" Su Ling looked at the blue-shirted young man with a pleading face.
"Reason. The boy spat out two words.
"That's the reason...... The old man of that family is a pervert, and he actually likes to abuse little girls, and he actually ...... Even fell in love with me, I ...... I was so scared that I ran out. Su Ling bit her lip, her nominal father!
"Really?"
"Really, more than pearls. Su Ling nodded vigorously.
"Is the Su family like this?" the young man frowned and whispered. Suddenly, there are so many people in the world, and some people seem to be able to understand that they have some special hobbies. It's just that some people do it more obscurely, and they won't let many people know. "And what are your plans next?"
"I don't have any plans. Su Ling shook his head, "I just wanted to escape, and I didn't think about what to do in the future." I still have some money on hand, and I can buy two acres of thin fields, and there is no problem in living. It's just that the household registration thing is not easy to do. ”
Su Ling then remembered that household registration was a big problem! If she didn't have a household registration, she wouldn't be able to buy any property at all, and it would be very inconvenient to walk. If the people from the government want to check the household registration, she will be miserable.
It's a big problem to have no identification, or did she run out without thinking it through?
"Since you don't have anywhere to go, let's stay first! Our ship is going to Jiangnan, are you willing?"
Su Ling thought about it, this is also a good way. She has nowhere to go now, it should be good to follow this person! Seeing that he is also rich and rich, he must not have wronged her if he eats and wears anything. Even if she stays and is a little maid, she can do it temporarily.
At least until she thinks of something else.
"Okay, thank you very much. Is there anything I can do on the boat? I can do the laundry and cooking. Su Ling said with a smile.
The young man looked at her hand, and Su Ling followed his gaze to his own hand. The hands are as white as jade, and they really look like ten fingers that don't touch the spring water, and at first glance, they haven't done rough work. It's really not easy for her to be a maid.
"There are maids on the boat, and everything is done by someone, so don't worry about it. The young man shook his head, completely not wanting Su Ling to cause trouble.
