When Xiao Wan came to Mu Xiyao's place again, Mu Xiyao was so tired that she fell asleep on the table.

She looked at the stack of neatly bundled cards, took Mu Xiyao's hand again, looked at the scratches on it, sighed helplessly, and turned to leave.

When Xiao Wan came again, she held a thick roll of bedding in her arms, spread it out on Mu Xiyao's body, and left quietly.

Another day has passed.

"Hmm..."

Mu Xiyao woke up slowly with sleepy eyes, only to feel sore.

She looked at the familiar and unfamiliar surroundings in a daze, and unconsciously scratched the loose and somewhat dry long hair, very confused.

Where is this? Why am I here?

That's right... I remember. I'm staying here for some reason, and Frost came with me? What about the frost? How's it going?

"Frost... Ahem! ”

My throat is so dry and I feel like I'm about to smoke... It hurts, what's going on?

"Awake?" A strange and familiar voice rang in her ears.

Mu Xiyao tried to look up, smiled reluctantly, and shouted in a low voice: "Chi... Sister".

It can be seen that her lips are already slightly dry, and even a small piece of lip can be torn off with a slight tear on it, which is clearly a sign of lack of water in the lip flap.

"Don't call me sister just yet," Chi looked at her impatiently, "you need to know what you mean by calling me sister." ”

"Then I... Should call you... What the...? Mu Xiyao could feel that she was struggling to speak now. Still, she insisted on finishing the sentence.

"Big sister." Chi thought for a while before he came up with the word.

"Well... Big, sister... Ahem, ahem! Mu Xiyao only felt that her throat was sticky, itchy, and a little stinging. The phlegm that is coughed up inadvertently is actually colored.

Chi frowned for a moment and ordered, "You take care of yourself first, and you also have to take care of the dirt on the ground." Then tie this up and go with me. I'll teach you to do the next thing. "It's fluttering, and I don't know what she threw behind.

"Well... Ahem! Not! The throat was so dry that it seemed to be about to erupt fire, but Mu Xiyao still tried to hold back. She bent down and slowly picked up the gray coarse cloth, slowly enclosing the part below her nose. There was a mouthful of sticky liquid in that mouth, and needless to say, she knew what it was. endured and endured, Mu Xiyao still stiffened her scalp and swallowed the bloody phlegm back.

If you cough it out again, I'm afraid I'll upset this eldest sister again.

Seeing Mu Xiyao's appearance, Chi's brows furrowed even tighter. But she didn't say a word.

Mu Xiyao simply pulled her long hair behind her shoulders and wore it like that.

red

Looking at her appearance, he still didn't seem satisfied, and ordered, "Curl up your hair." ”

"Huh?" Mu Xiyao was stunned for a moment. Volume... Roll it up? Don't have hairpins?

"Use this." Chi threw out a dead branch that had been prepared for a long time and threw it to the ground.

Mu Xiyao was silent for a while, but still obediently picked up the dead branches and carefully tied up one of her hair.

The sender is under the fence and has to be obedient.

Looking at Mu Xiyao's obedient appearance, Chi still pursed his lips dissatisfied. However, she couldn't think of any way to hide Mu Xiyao's beauty for the time being.

After all, the rolled up headdress looked like a village girl, her face was dusty, her cheeks were covered by coarse cloth, and even her voice was hoarse, and the voice of the yellow warbler she had just arrived was no longer there, and her body was also coarse clothes and coarse cloth and coarse shoes.

No matter who looks at it from such a distance, they can't see that this is a beautiful embryo.

Are you too cautious?

Chi rubbed his temples with a headache.

"Sister... No, big sister... I still have..."Mu Xiyao just wanted to ask her if there was anything she hadn't done well, but she was stopped by Chi.

"It's okay now, don't talk, how do I do it, how do you learn, just do it."

Mu Xiyao lowered her head and was silent, just nodded. She knew that her voice was hard to hear.

If there is another bronze mirror for her to take that picture by herself, I am afraid that if it is not, she will doubt herself if it is herself.

"Come with me."

...

"Sister Chi, are you here to check our work again?"

"Hello Sister Chi!"

"Sister Chi, look, this is the jewelry that my little sister saw yesterday, and I think it's quite suitable for my eldest sister, so I quickly bought it for you! Remember to call your little sister if you have something! ”

"Sister Chi! Thirsty? Here's tea, come and drink some? ”

Chi took Mu Xiyao on the way to meet Xiao Wan, nodding and smiling to accept the flattery of these so-called "sisters".

Mu Xiyao just buried her head in her with some inferiority complex and followed her.

When they were a little far away, the people got together again, chattering and asking each other.

"Who is the ugly girl who follows naked?"

"Who knows? I'm afraid it's not for her to show her power. ”

"You say that, you don't want to mess around here?"

"Don't! Good sister, you can't talk nonsense! ”

"I suddenly remembered that the candy man on the street yesterday was very delicious..."

"I'm going to buy it, I'm going to buy it! As long as you don't say it! ”

"Did you say anything?"

"No, hehe, I didn't say anything."

“...”

"I'm afraid it's not a poor person."

"Forget it, do your job. The temper of the eldest sister, as long as Sister Wan'er is not there, you and I both know that she is the one

kind. ”

"Alas... Work and work. ”

...

"Here, you're here today. It's not good, don't talk about steamed buns, there's no soup! ”

Mu Xiyao kept looking at her bare heels, and when she stopped, she didn't notice it, and almost bumped into it. "Huh?" She looked up and blinked her pretty eyes, looking at the scene in full swing with confusion.

"Uh-huh? Get in! Unexpectedly, just when she was stunned, Chi actually walked behind her and pushed Mu Xiyao in.

Mu Xiyao stumbled under her feet, stumbling and almost falling in.

"Hmm!"

It was as if something had hit her forehead, and she snorted in pain.

Just listen to what is behind you! There was a loud bang.

A cold voice came from outside the door: "This is the boiling water room, if you don't boil thirty pots of tea today, don't think about resting!" ”

Then, there was the sound of departing footsteps.

Hiss...

Mu Xiyao lightly touched the painful place with her fingers, and the pain made her frown. There seemed to be warm fluid flowing out of the wound.

"Girl, girl? You okay? ”

An old voice sounded beside her.

Mu Xiyao was startled by this sudden voice. She sat up in horror and struggled to move towards the door.

"Ahh Sorry to scare you. The voice continued.

A faint light lit up amid the sound of Suosuo.

Mu Xiyao's gaze was frightened, and then slowly calmed down. She calmed her panic and quieted down.

"That's... I'm sorry for my throat. ”

The woman who sounded like an old woman's voice actually showed the face of a young girl in the firelight.

"Girl... How did you get to this boiling room? ”

Mu Xiyao just shook her head, indicating that she didn't know.

The woman was puzzled. "Girl, why don't you speak?"

Mu Xiyao was a little helpless. By the light of the fire, she tapped the woman's throat tremblingly, and then withdrew her hand.

"What do you mean... Your throat too... Hurt? ”

Mu Xiyao's lips under the coarse cloth pursed slightly, and she nodded with a hint of tears in her eyes.

"Yes, too... Here, women with bad voices will be arranged to come to the boiling water room. The woman seemed to sigh, "This is the rule of the breezy Accord, no matter how beautiful it is, if you have a wounded throat, you can only do that unseemly thing." In order not to scare customers away. Girl, how did you hurt your throat? ”

"Ahem!" Mu Xiyao wanted to speak, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she was choked back by the bloody phlegm. Helpless, she could only take advantage of the firelight, took the woman's hand, and wrote a few words.

Fortunately, one year ago, I learned the strokes of some words.

The woman also seems to have studied in private school for a few years. She carefully felt the words written by Mu Xiyao on the palm of her hand, and muttered, "Voice... Child... Itchy, there's... Phlegm..."She glanced at Mu Xiyao strangely, "Girl, didn't you drink water when you got up in the morning?" ”

Mu Xiyao was stunned for a moment, and continued to write on her palm.

Do you want to drink water in the morning?

"Yes," the woman nodded, "it's wetter in the south, but when you wake up in the morning, there's always an inexplicable feeling of dryness." If you have a glass of water next to you, your throat will be fine. ”

Mu Xiyao paused and continued to write.

Why I don't know. No one here is talking to me.

"Who woke you up? Or did you get up on your own? Are you from here? ”

It's the head of the eldest sister.

I'm not from here.

The woman seemed stunned. Half a day. "You're screaming?"

Mu Xiyao nodded.

"That guy, really didn't have a good heart." The woman took a sip, "Of all the people here, she has the most eyes!" By the way, you said that you are not from here, then your hometown is..."

I'm from Huadu.

They were brought here.

"Huadu?" The woman pondered. "Are you talking about the Huadu in the former northern capital? There is no longer the title of Huadu. ”

Hearing this, Mu Xiyao seemed to be very depressed. She seemed to remember something and sobbed softly.

"Alright, alright, stop crying. I'm saying the wrong thing, okay? The woman took her into her arms and patted her on the back. Now that you're here, let's do it! After all, you can have something to eat. ”

"Okay..."Mu Xiyao opened her mouth, trying to make her voice.

"Oops! Patronized and talked to you! If you can't finish it, you'll be scolded again! The woman suddenly became nervous. Sixty kettles of boiling water are to be boiled today! How plain there are thirty more pots! ”

Hearing this, Mu Xiyao suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

"I... I'll help you..."

"Huh? That's right! How I forgot about you! Good sister! Come and help! ”

"Good..."
