The early morning sun shone through the holes in the curtains on the girl's face, and the originally soothing face frowned slightly.

Manluo slowly opened her eyes, and after being confused for a while, she looked up at the wall clock left by her grandfather on the wall, which was an antique that was decades old and the only valuable thing in the family.

At half past six, the time was just right, and it was time to work every day.

Stepping out of bed lightly, Manluo didn't want to make a sound, but because the bed had been too long, it was unstable, and as soon as she moved, she made a 'ziya ziya' sound.

The father next door was woken up and coughed, and Manluo sighed, put on her straw sandals and walked next door, thinking that she must make a little more money this week, and let the carpenter uncle next door help make the bed more stable.

"Manluo, get up so early, let's rest and rest. Manloe's father was lying on the bed, looking a little haggard, and he looked only about forty years old, but his hair was half white.

"Dad, it's half past six, it's not too early, I'll go get you medicine. ”

Manluo stepped forward to help her father cover the quilt, walked back to her room, opened the only cupboard in the house, and took out a few bottles of liquid from it, Manluo and her father lived in a room of less than fifteen square meters, divided into two small single rooms, this house was originally the warehouse of the carpenter's uncle Ryan next door, when Manluo's father was still healthy, he bought it with ten gold coins, his father was a mercenary, and accumulated some wealth, and the house he bought in Dosaron City was originally only used as a temporary foothold, so that he could do tasks with the group, but then his hometown was slaughtered by horse thieves, and after Manluo's mother and family were killed, this became Manluo's father's only destination。

Young Manluo was met by a passing merchant when he was fleeing for his life, and followed the merchant to Dosaron City to find his father, since then the two have lived together for five years, and his father has been in poor health because of the blow of the slaughter village five years ago, and now he finally fell ill in bed, in order to cure the disease, he has spent all his savings this year, and the wall clock belonging to his grandfather that Manlo's father brought to Dosaron City may also be sold......

"Come and drink medicine, after ten days is the triennial food festival in the city, you should be able to make a lot of money, usually washing clothes is to collect a piece of copper coins, I heard the aunts say that when the food festival arrives, the laundry will start with two copper coins, and at that time the mercenaries will stay in the city, there are clothes that can not be washed, I plan to wash four hundred pieces a day!

Father Biwan looked at the excited Manluo, very sad, stretched out his hand to hold his daughter's hand, only thirteen-year-old Manluo was originally sweet, is a lovely girl, but these hands are already very rough, this year she has to wash two hundred pieces of clothes by hand every day, that is the amount that adults can only do in a day, because of the business, she is also bullied by those aunts in the market, sometimes when she comes home there are bruises on her arms, Biwan is very uncomfortable, if she is not sick, how can her daughter suffer from this, her own medicine money for a month will cost one or two gold coins, if it is not for the former mercenary companions to help a little, and Manluo works so hard, I have long since stopped taking the medicine.

"You don't have to work so hard...... What to do if you get sick. Biwan didn't say anything to make Manluo give up on herself, he had said half a year ago, let yourself die, Manluo cried that night and her eyes were red, and the next day she worked even harder, so Biwan never said that kind of thing again.

"No, I'm in good health, I'll try to wash three hundred clothes in the next few days, otherwise I may not be comfortable at that time, those aunts wash very fast, I can't admit defeat! I will put a bottle of medicine next to your pillow, remember to drink it in the afternoon." Manlo put down the vial, kissed Bivan on the cheek, then went back to her room to get her tools and walked out of the house.

"That's the last bottle of medicine......" Manluo touched the money bag on his body, there were twenty silver coins in it, enough to buy ten bottles of medicine, pass by the Hammer Hotel at night to find that Dr. Mikael to buy it, he is very good is the exclusive doctor of a mercenary group, I met him last time I washed clothes, and I got a nine-percent discount every time.

Manlo rubbed her arm, her slender arm already had muscles, this was the result of a year's work, but fortunately, Manlo was born not easy to tan, this is Manlo's only luck, after all, there is no girl who does not love beauty, what do aristocratic ladies of this age do every day? Is it to play with other aristocratic ladies at home, or to drink afternoon tea elegantly and chat with the handsome Mr. Knight?

"What was I thinking?" Manlo shook her head and strode towards the laundry, there are several laundries in Dosaron City, the people in the city will give them the clothes that need to be washed, and they will distribute these clothes to people like Manlo who are willing to wash clothes, it is said that for every five pieces of clothing, they will earn a copper coin in the laundry, and they will not divide the clothes of those noble families, a laundromat can receive four or five thousand pieces of clothing every day, and all of them can earn ten silver coins, not to mention that there are nobles' clothes in it, a laundry is said to earn forty or fifty silver coins every day, which is really enviable。

At seven o'clock, Manluo came to the laundry to line up outside, there were already more than a dozen aunts lined up in front, if the queue was late and didn't get the clothes, then there would be no money to make that day.

When it was Manluo's turn, it was already half past seven, and Manluo asked for three hundred clothes this time, because he had been working for a year and knew the shopkeeper very well, so the boss simply agreed.

"Little Manluo, there are a hundred pieces of clothes in the back car, you know, I asked people to leave three cars for you, you push it to find a river outside the city to wash, and then send it back after washing, there are a lot of soap fruits outside the city, you can pick them directly." ”

"Thank you, I know, Mrs. Buta. Manluo bowed to the fat boss in front of him, and then walked to the store to get clothes, generally clothes are pushed outside the city to be cleaned, only some aristocratic clothes, will be put in the store to wash the spring water, there are a lot of wild soap fruit outside the city, that is a kind of fruit that can be found everywhere in the mainland, crushing will flow out a faint fragrance of liquid, these liquids can clean clothes.

In other cities, soapberries still need to be bought, I heard that a basket costs ten copper coins, but in Dosaron City, there are too many in the wild, and this plant is still evergreen in all seasons, and it bears fruit in all seasons.

According to Manluo's previous work efficiency, it is to wash a car from eight to two o'clock, and then send it back to the store for a meal, and then wash a car from three o'clock in the afternoon to eight o'clock in the evening, so that two hundred pieces can be washed a day, but such a speed is obviously not good! The laundry closes at twelve o'clock, in fact, it can be washed until twelve o'clock, although the city gate will be closed very early, but as long as you register at night, you can still go back to the city through the small gate, so you must work hard to wash a hundred pieces in four hours!

"When the food festival arrives, it will take three hours to wash a hundred pieces!" Manluo gritted her teeth and cheered herself up, "I can do it!"

Pushing the cart, Manluo and other aunts walked out of the city together, passing by the front door of the laundry, Manluo saw that the clothes were not finished now, and breathed a sigh of relief, once he came late and finally got the clothes, and the aunts who did not receive the clothes were angry, so they beat themselves, so Manluo was particularly afraid that the clothes would be finished before they left the city, and there would definitely be some aunts who would come to trouble them.

You also need to register when you go out of the city, the guard brother Manluo knows the city, and after saying hello, the other party is very happy to let him go, Manluo knows that he is quite beautiful, so these guards take care of themselves, and in another year they will reach the age of fourteen when the imperial law can be married, and then he will marry a businessman, so that he will have money to treat his father.

Thinking about what she didn't have, feeling the breeze outside the city, Manluo parted ways with the aunts after leaving the city, because Manluo knew that there was a good place to wash clothes in the forest outside the city, there was a waterfall, and there was a cave behind the waterfall, as long as she was there, she could wash it with the water of the waterfall, and she would not be tanned by the sun, but the location was a little far away, and it would take more than half an hour to push the cart.

At half past eight, Manluo finally came to this place, listening to the sound of the waterfall and the birds in the forest, which made Manluo feel good, but this good mood was quickly replaced by experience, there were many traces of destruction on the side of the waterfall, the trees that had been cut down and the ground full of pits...... Manluo came to the river in a little frightened......

There was a man sitting on the stone by the river, wearing a black slim robe, looking tall and thin from the back, Manluo asked with some fear, "Sir...... What are you doing here?"

The man was not startled by Manlo's sudden voice, as if he had known that Manlo was coming, the man turned around, and was a pale but very handsome man, who looked like he should be about thirty years old, he looked lazy, and there was a feeling in his eyes that he had not woken up, he glanced at Manlo, said nothing, and turned away again.

"......" The other party's ignorance reassured Manluo a lot, although this is the forest on the edge of Dosaron City, but occasionally there will be gangsters, if this person looks back and sees that there is nothing in his eyes, Manluo must run away, but this uncle doesn't seem to be a bad person.

Pushing the car to the river, Manluo didn't go to the cave behind the waterfall with his clothes, in case this person is a bad person, he will be blocked when he goes into the cave, even if the sun hurts his skin, Manluo still decided to wash by the river, the distance between the two sides is dozens of meters, even if this uncle suddenly rushes over, he can run away, and he is also very confident in escaping Manluo.

So Manluo began to work hard according to her usual habits, and she did not speak to the other party again, although Manluo wanted to ask if this uncle was the cause of the mess here, but for safety reasons, she still did not say much.

This work is four hours, Manluo is tired and panting, looking at the washed clothes with a sense of accomplishment, looking back, the uncle is still staring at the waterfall in a daze, but he doesn't know when to bite a branch in his mouth...... He's not stupid, is he...... Manluo thought with some malice.
