Chapter 1: You're a Dead Star
"You are a mourning star, why don't you hurry up and collect your clothes, don't you know if it's going to rain?"
A sharp shout and scolding came from Sun Dahu's house, and a weak figure quickly rushed out of the door. The small, seemingly slender hand quickly took down all the clothes, and soon folded them over the sight.
"Tian Yao! You're still grinding, don't hurry up and bring the hot water in, be careful that the old lady picks your skin! ”
The girl called Tian Yao responded helplessly, raised her elbow holding her clothes, and a large stack of clothes was held in her arms again.
In and out of this way, Tian Yao was busy from noon to afternoon, either carrying water or cooking, and also serving Sun's feet to wash his feet, wash them and then boil the water for later use. And she herself didn't have time to drink a sip of water from morning to afternoon.
Finally waited for Sun to stop for a while, and Tian Yao sat on the steps.
The palm-sized face was covered with beads of sweat, and the strands of hair stuck to the forehead, looking very embarrassed.
"Wait for my aunt and grandmother to save enough money, see how I clean up your yellow-faced woman!"
listened carefully, but heard Tian Yao say.
Tian Yao rested for a while, looking at the really cloudy sky, a little melancholy.
My mother has been dead for half a month, and she has also lived in Sun Dahu's house for half a month. At first, Sun was pretending to be kind to herself, but after a long time, she was revealed. Tons of work are waiting for me every day, and I have to serve her like a maid.
She's had enough of these days!
"Don't they all say that the protagonists who cross are all protagonists, either princesses or princesses, those who eat fragrant and drink spicy food, and there are countless maids to serve and serve?"
Tian Yao, who was looking at the sky lightly, suddenly said this, her eyes were full of helplessness.
She has been going through it for more than a year, and during this year, she has experienced the beheading of her father and the death of her mother. The family was defeated, and he was sent under the fence. When Tian Yaoniang was seriously ill, she did everything possible to entrust herself to Sun Dahu of Huatian Township, but she didn't want her to die, but Tian Yao "fell into the tiger's mouth".
Every day in Sun Dahu's house is a torment for her. Tian Yao began to think about getting some silver and flying away!
When he was losing his soul, Sun's voice like a broken gong sounded again, "Tian Yao! Hurry up to the river and get the fish basket back, if you don't have anything to eat at night, the old lady will sell you to the building to be a flower sister! ”
Tian Yao looked at the cloudy sky, and a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes. Looking at the situation, the rain must be not small, and when you go to the river at this time, you are afraid that you will be drenched on the road. But if he didn't go, Sun wouldn't spare himself easily.
Thinking so, Tian Yao put on her cloak and ran towards the river quickly.
The rain came very fast, and before Tian Yao could run out of the village, the raindrops the size of beans slapped on her body. The sandals under his feet were already wet with the rain, and every foot was cold and biting.
Tian Yao still gritted his teeth and ran wildly towards the river.
Silver thunder staggered in the sky, and it exploded above Tian Yao's head with a bang. The rain became more intensive, and the usually gentle river became more and more turbulent. Tian Yao stopped by the river, looking at the surging river, and it was difficult to choose for a while.
With such a rapid river, if Tian Yao rashly went down the river, it must be very dangerous. But she looked at the fish basket that was close in front of her, and it was only three steps away from her.
"At this time, the rain has not yet converged, and if you miss this time, it really won't be able to rain......"
Tian Yao lowered his hat, his snow-white little face showed a touch of fortitude, biting his lower lip and tentatively stretching out his feet, but he almost fell when he stepped on the first stone.
After several temptations, Tian Yao found that the river was getting faster and faster, and the fish basket became crumbling, as if it would be washed away at any time.
Seeing that the sky was getting darker and the rain was getting heavier and heavier, Tian Yao's dark eyes under his hat suddenly flickered, and then lit up with determination. The whole person is like a carp jumping over the dragon gate, and it jumps into the river with a brush.
Tian Yao used the inertia of his body to climb to the mouth of the stone upstream, and caught the fish basket that was tied by the Sun family before he was washed away.
"Great!" Tian Yao said excitedly, with a gentle push of his palm under the fish basket, he felt a heavy lump, and knew that there were a lot of fish caught in this fish basket.
Tian Yao was overjoyed, and went up with both hands to untie the fish basket.
However, at this time, she hung like a handkerchief at the mouth of the river, and the increasingly turbulent river washed her body angrily. Tian Yao, who had lost her grip, was unable to stand firm for a while, and just as she was about to untie the fish basket, she suddenly fell down by the river.
"Ahh
After an exclamation, Tian Yao closed her eyes tightly. But he didn't want the expected river to come, but felt his body wrapped around a warm arm, and the whole person was suspended above the river.
The hat threw the rain into a waterline, Tian Yao looked back, but saw a handsome young man with red lips and white teeth, holding himself in his arms with one hand.
The young man's black hair was tied up, wet and swaying beside his cheeks, and the hat shielded him from the rain, but his eyebrows were still stained by the moisture. The eyes are like ink, mixed with azure to form a deep spring.
Tian Yao was shocked for a moment, but then came back to his senses.
The young man untied the fish basket with one hand, and while supporting Tian Yao, he waded towards the river.
was pulled like this, and Tian Yao returned to the shore safely. It's just that all the clothes are soaked, the white clothes inside are a little leaky, and the sharp corners of Xiaohe are also somewhat exposed, which makes Tian Yao quite embarrassed, and he seems to be unintentionally blocking him with his hand.
The young man threw the fish basket on the ground, and then he raised his head and smiled at Tian Yao: "The girl is really bold in such a rapid river." If they had been washed into the river, the stones would have damaged the girl. Don't take the risk next time! ”
The young man's voice was as clear as spring water, which inexplicably made Tian Yao's cheeks warm, "Thank you little brother for rescuing, Tian Yao is really unrequited." ”
The young man in the rain smiled like a breeze, "Is your name Tian Yao?" My name is Ah Li, and I live in the mountains near here. It's raining so hard, let's find a place to hide first! ”
Tian Yao only knew how to nod, Ah Li took the initiative to take on her fish basket, and picked up a bundle of thick firewood not far away and put it on her shoulder, which made Tian Yao feel even more embarrassed.
The two walked slowly along the mountain road, and finally found a place to shelter from the rain, so they rested for a while.
"Who is in your family, and why did you come to the river alone to collect fish baskets, such a dangerous thing should not be done by you."
Ah Li said, Tian Yao smiled bitterly: "My parents are dead, I can only take risks in order to survive." By the way, Brother Li, thank you for saving me today, these fish will be taken home for you to eat. ”
The girl was panting and talking, her wet hair was sticking to her snow-white cheeks, her smart eyes were blinking and blinking, and her head seemed to be put on something warm, and she laughed involuntarily, and put the fish back into the basket.
"No, I don't. These fish are heavy enough, and when the rain stops, I'll send you back! ”
Tian Yao's eyes lit up, "Really? ”
Seeing the girl's surprise appearance, Ah Li was even more amused, and just about to speak, his face suddenly changed, and he threw Tian Yao under him.
