Chapter 6: It's a Girl

Listening to the voice, it should be a little girl, Xu Qiaoyou decided to let her eat and drink enough first and then see what her situation was. So she stepped forward to help the little girl, only to find that the child was really thin, and the height was only up to her shoulders, and the arm she was holding had no flesh at all, it was all bones, and she didn't know how long she had been hungry.

Xu Qiaoyou helped her slowly walk towards the "Good Hospitality Residence", the store was deserted, the shopkeeper saw her coming back and was about to come forward to say hello, and saw that she was helping a beggar to come back, and the expression on her face suddenly changed: "Guest officer, why do you pick everything up in the house?" ”

"Please help me prepare some white porridge and side dishes, and then prepare hot water, I will tip you····· Give you a reward. Xu Qiaoyou automatically ignored the words of the shopkeeper, after all, money can make the grinding ghost.

"Okay, guest officer, please wait a minute......" The enthusiasm of the shopkeeper is back, it is really powerful.

The room was dark, Xu Qiaoyou helped the little girl who picked it up by the moonlight and carefully asked her to sit against the table, she looked at the kerosene lamp on the table in a daze, sighed, and reluctantly went back to find the shopkeeper, I don't know if she will be ridiculed by the snobbish shopkeeper......

Sure enough, soon the shopkeeper's teasing voice sounded in the corridor: "I said this girl, did you say that you really came out of the deep mountains and old forests?" Why can't you even hold a lamp? ”

Xu Qiaoyou followed behind him, if the eyes could kill people, then at this time, the back of the shopkeeper was already full of holes, although there was no electricity when he lived in the mountains with his father when he was a child, but at least their family also used lighters. What's so strange about not being able to light the lights? What kind of fire fold ghost would use, it was long gone in her time, okay, even dad can accept an electronic igniter, so it's strange that you can't be scared to death if you give you an electric light, really.

The shopkeeper skillfully picked up the fire fold on the table, and it ignited as soon as he got it, Xu Qiaoyou stood aside and watched intently, in fact, it was very simple, she just wanted to say thank you to the shopkeeper, but she saw the smug look on his face, as if to say what? Amazing, right? Haven't seen it, have you? A look of looking at the buns.

Xu Qiaoyou's heart exploded, who is the soil bun? Isn't it just a kerosene lamp? Have you ever seen a car, a train, an airplane? Ever seen a steamer submarine? Bumpkin!

"How long is the porridge? Drop by for a pot of hot water. Xu Qiaoyou was angry in his heart, and his natural tone was not very good.

"Okay." The shopkeeper finally went down.

Before the shopkeeper came up, she hurriedly took out a three-vein silver leaf from her underwear, and originally wanted to give it to the fifth-vein, but she thought of the look of the shopkeeper who looked down on people just now...... If she hadn't said in advance that she would tip, she really wanted not to give a penny.

After a while, the shopkeeper came up with something, said that the hot water would be brought up in a while, let him eat first, and then took the tip given by Xu Qiaoyou, with a smile on his face like a flower, and went down with a fart, it's good to be rich, no matter what era it is, being rich is an uncle.

"Let's eat first." Xu Qiaoyou handed the chopsticks to the little girl, and then sat next to her and looked at her.

The little girl seemed to be really hungry, and she didn't care about the heat, so she drank the white porridge in a big gulp, and the fried vegetables did not move, and soon, a big bowl of white porridge bottomed out.

"You can't eat too much, otherwise your stomach won't be able to stand it, just eat some more greens, and we'll go eat delicious tomorrow."

The little girl looked at Xu Qiaoyou with big eyes and nodded.

The shopkeeper sent a large bucket of hot water and said to Xu Qiaoyou: "Wait for the girl to use the water and put it in front of the door." Then he packed up the dishes and chopsticks and went downstairs. Xu Qiao looked at the little girl in a daze: "Do you know how to wash yourself?" Or do you need my help? ”

The little girl shook her head, what does this mean? Can't wash or don't need help?

Xu Qiaoyou cautiously spoke: "Then why don't I help you." ”

"Okay." It's still like a low and soft voice like a little milk cat.

Either way, it was a good start, at least her guard was breaking down a little bit.

But when the little girl took off her clothes that were already a little tattered, she found that she was even thinner than she imagined, and she was about to become skinny, and her back, waist, thighs, and buttocks all had bruises left by being beaten with similar sticks, and there were many old injuries on her arms and neck. Looking at her, she felt that her body hurt, let alone hitting this child, it was really unimaginable.

Although she had a belly, Xu Qiaoyou didn't ask a word, she just wanted to clean her up quickly and let her sleep well. After washing, I found that only the set of clothes and pants in my baggage could be changed, but it was undoubtedly too big for such a thin child.

But now there is no other way, she took out the clothes and put them on the little girl, only to find that it was bigger than she imagined, it was like a child stealing the clothes of an adult, Xu Qiaoyou fixed her with a rubber band a little, and then she barely put it on, and then she made the bed, and looked back to see the little girl looking at the clothes on her body blankly, and said to her apologetically: "My clothes are too big, I'll buy you the right one tomorrow morning, that underwear, uh, no, it's dirty clothes, I'll buy it back too, You're going to be right tonight, and you're going to sleep. “

The little girl nodded, obediently climbed into the bed and faced the wall sideways, Xu Qiaoyou also simply freshened up, put all the dirty water into a bucket, carried it to the door, carefully tied the door, and took two chairs against the door, this kind of door does not look strong, it will really be like the TV show, the kind that kicks open, although this does not play much effect, but at least it is a psychological comfort, she also lay on the bed after doing all this.

Turned her head and looked at the little girl who was facing away from her, she was already asleep, making a shallow low snoring sound, her body curled up, Xu Qiaoyou gently covered her with the quilt, but she couldn't sleep, her heart was mixed, she just came here and met this child, what happened to her? She's still so young, what will she do in the future? If I can save her for a while, I can't save her for a lifetime, and besides, she herself has little future now......

I don't know if it's because of the bed, or because of the time difference, Xu Qiaoyou couldn't sleep all night, and kept tossing and turning thinking about something that he didn't have, when the sky was slightly bright outside, the street began to be lively, and the ancients had no entertainment at night, so they got up early enough.

She looked at the little girl, she slept very deeply and soundly, and tiptoed up to buy clothes and breakfast for the little girl, just as she was about to move the chair used to hold the door last night, there was a bang, she accidentally knocked over the porcelain basin used to wash her face to the ground, she quickly looked back, sure enough, the little girl woke up.
