Hearing the little girl's words, Qiao Kun looked at her again.

She was not tall, thin, with a disheveled head, sunken cheeks, far from good-looking, and her rags were extremely ill-fitting, like a ragged sack.

Is it an orphan? Qiao Kun couldn't help but ask, "Don't you have a family?" ”

Hearing this, the little girl's eyes became more and more gloomy, "No." "The voice is pitifully quiet.

Qiao Kun couldn't help but soften, "Then it's better to come and live with us, there is Lord Ji Chang here, and Miss Ziyun." ”

But after saying that, Qiao Kun reacted, why would Ji Chang let her live alone? If Ji Chang wants to help, he should be able to take care of her. He probably shouldn't.

The little girl seemed to be a little moved, but finally hesitated, "No need, you will be affected by me, I am ......"

Trouble? Qiao Kun wondered in his heart, what is the method of involvement? And what is she?

But the little girl didn't say anything, and Qiao Kun didn't ask anymore, only said: "Since you don't want to, then I'll send you back." ”

"Hmm." The little girl nodded, but her face was sad and gloomy.

I'm afraid that the residence is not a good place to go. Qiao Kun thought so in his heart, so he said, "You live here with me first, and help me do some sweeping work." ”

Stay one night first, talk about tomorrow, it's too late anyway.

The little girl struggled for a long time, and finally agreed.

Qiao Kun entered the house and took out a few pieces of animal fur from the "sleeve talisman".

"Your name is Xiaohua, aren't you?" He asked, spreading his fur on the bed to make a mattress. He didn't usually need that thing to sleep, but the little girl wasn't him.

"It's a little flower." The little girl replied timidly, and she seemed to be a little wary at the door.

This name is a bit earthy, and Qiao Kun doesn't care about it. What names can ordinary people be expected to take? That is, cats, dogs, flowers, grass, etc. Qiao Ling used to be called a dog, not his younger brother?

After the bed was made, Qiao Kun told Xiaohua that she could rest on the bed.

The little girl looked at the bed, and then at Qiao Kun, very entangled. After a while, she seemed to finally make up her mind, "I want to take a shower first." ”

It's quite exquisite, Qiao Kun didn't bother her, took two buckets of water for her, and then walked out of the house.

Of course, he wouldn't have any bad thoughts about this kind of young girl, but he also had to avoid suspicion and let Xiaohua feel at ease.

Soon there was the sound of Suo Suo undressing, and the sound of rushing water.

It took a long time for Xiaohua's voice to come, "Okay." ”

Qiao Kun pushed the door into the house, but saw that Xiaohua's ragged clothes had been neatly put aside, and she hid her body in the fur futon, only her head and neck were exposed, and she looked as if she was wearing nothing.

Look at the water again, it is indeed dirty.

At this time, Qiao Kun probably understood her thoughts, she was afraid that her body would be too dirty and would stain the bed, this little girl was quite careful.

"Hello, let's rest." Qiao Kun said this, meditating and practicing on the side.

By the time Qiao Kun came back to his senses, the little girl was already asleep.

Qiao Kun looked at her and sighed softly, in fact, he is a tangled person, he is afraid of trouble, but also likes to take care of people.

It's just that recently he's learned to restrain himself. Manpower is sometimes poor, there is no ability, love is overflowing, but it will do wrong things.

Qiao Kun got up and urged the cleaning technique learned in the lower courtyard of the Jade Void Palace, and cleaned the clothes that Xiaohua had taken off.

A new dress should be made for this little girl. But I can't suffer, I have to let the little girl do more work to make up for it.

Thinking so, the little girl turned over slightly, revealing her neck and a small part of her back, and her skin was not very white.

But there is a clear scar on the neck, which is vaguely a "sin" word, which is a mark of branding with a soldering iron.

He had not seen it on the necks of any other child.

Qiao Kun understood why the little girl had to wear her hair and why the other children in the village disliked her. for she is special among the sinners.

The sinners are also hierarchical, and this little girl is a great sin.

Qiao Kun sighed softly, took out the linen, made a linen cloth for Xiaohua, put it at the head of the bed, and walked to the courtyard to practice.

After a long time, Xiaohua also got up, just watching, she changed back into the old clothes.

Qiao Kun smiled: "Why don't you change into new clothes?" ”

"That's for me?" Xiaohua's reaction was not surprise, but a little dazed.

"It's for you, it's made to your size, and no one else can wear it." Qiao Kun added, "This is not for you, I need you to help me do some sweeping work, lighting fires, cooking, and help me take care of the fields." ”

"I can do that." Hearing that she had to work, Xiaohua could accept it, agreed to come down, went to the house to change her clothes, and it really fit perfectly.

Qiao Kun has been making clothes for him and his younger brother since he was a child, and these skills are still there.

Qiao Kun didn't bother with clothes, but took Xiaohua to make tofu.

Yesterday he had already soaked soybeans, and today was just right, but Xiaohua had very little strength, and it was very hard to push the stone grinder, so Qiao Kun had to come by himself.

After grinding the soy milk, Xiaohua refused to let Qiao Kun help, as long as she worked by herself.

Qiao Kun didn't insist, practicing on the side, and correcting her various mistakes at the same time.

When the little girl had already put the tofu in the mold, Qiao Kun pressed two heavy objects on it.

After that, it was time to wait for the tofu to be formed, and during this time, Qiao Kun took out some spiritual rice, cooked a pot of spiritual rice porridge, took some noodles and eggs, and made bean dregs cakes with bean dregs.

After getting another plate of green vegetables, he took the food to the next door and called Ziyun and Ji Chang to have breakfast together.

Seeing Qiao Kun and Xiaohua coming together, Ziyun's face was expressionless, and Ji Chang was a little surprised, but he didn't say anything.

Xiaohua still didn't dare to sit with Ji Chang and Ziyun, she just stood up to eat, and Qiao Kun was the only one left to her.

The little girl ate it, tears fell from her eyes, and she only said, "I have never eaten anything so delicious." ”

In fact, Qiao Kun was not very satisfied with what he made this time, Lingmi was okay, although it was simple, after all, it was a fairy thing, it was very delicious, and it could also nourish the body.

But the okara grains are too coarse, and when they are made into cakes, they slightly affect the taste.

He sighed in his heart, only afraid that this girl had not eaten anything good, so he would say this.

Xiaohua stayed in the courtyard to help that day, and in the evening, she still didn't leave, and ran to Qiao Kun's house to rest. Obviously, Qiao Kun said that he could stay with him for one night, and he could live for a long time.

Qiao Kun had the heart to correct her, but he couldn't bear it, so he acquiesced.

What's more, Xiaohua does not live in vain, she works neatly, whether it is sweeping, washing, washing dishes, or serving the fields, she is a good hand. Today, I still make tofu.

Of course, Xiaohua also has a lot of work that she can't do, such as oh making clothes, she hasn't worn new clothes, of course not.

She doesn't, but she's willing to learn, which is very flattering. She's smart and a quick learner.

is like cooking, Qiao Kun simply told her the concept of cooking, and demonstrated it a few times, Xiaohua can also learn it, and gradually grasp the main points, and the taste is not bad.

It's the same with learning to make clothes.

In the end, she took on the work of taking care of Qiao Kun, Ji Chang and Ziyun's two yards and fields.

Sometimes Qiao Kun feels that he is exploiting child labor and is too harsh, but Xiaohua is tired of it, and the whole person is much more energetic.

But just like this, the villagers and children in Yili looked at Qiao Kun differently, and they were a little disgusted.

The number of transactions has decreased significantly, and the occasional transactions are all necessities.

Qiao Kun doesn't care, ordinary people's love and hatred are just hatred, what impact does it have on him? He has been able to "distinguish between inside and outside", and he is not simply a bad person.

What's more, the residents here can't do without him.

Don't talk about salt and cloth, just say that Qiao Kun repairs farm tools for them, and they can't do without it.

Qiao Kun's refining weapon was taught by Yun Zhongzi, and it was naturally not difficult for him to repair farm tools.

I'm afraid that Yun Zhongzi didn't expect that Qiao Kun would apply the technique of practicing weapons in these aspects.

With Xiaohua to take care of life, Qiao Kun mainly learns the piano, reads, and figurs out the tricks of diligent cultivation, and occasionally helps the residents here repair their houses, repair farm tools, etc., and it is not free every time.

She felt that Xiaohua was too weak and might be bullied, so she taught her the "Spirit Crane Dance Empty Strength".

It's just that compared with the talent of life and housework, Xiaohua's martial arts qualifications are too poor, and her learning is very slow.

Qiao Kun was not impatient, and only taught slowly. Hands-on demonstrations and introduction of various points.

After more than three months like this, Xiaohua's "Spirit Crane Dance Empty Energy" has not yet started, but Ji Chang has no new mantra to teach.
