The rooster crowed three times, the sky was still gray with a damp and cold dampness, and the simple courtyard that had been quiet all night began to have human voices.

The door of a guest room in the southeast of the courtyard shook slightly, and then a thin slit opened, and a small head cautiously poked out of it.

It was an eight- or nine-year-old girl dressed in light gray coarse linen.

Seeing that there was no one around, a sly smile appeared on the girl's childish little face, and then she walked out of the guest room lightly, tiptoed back and closed the door.

Although she had slowed her movements as little as she could, the door of the room, which was not new and delicate, still made an unpleasant creaking sound that was particularly harsh in the silence and simplicity of the courtyard.

The girl seemed to have done something wrong, and looked around a little helplessly, and after half a ring, she saw that there was still silence in all directions, so she completely relieved her heart, and walked in the direction of the courtyard with her feet.

The young man who had been sitting all night heard the movement outside the hospital, and his face finally changed slightly, he sighed, and then the corners of his lips hooked slightly, revealing a smile, but it did not make people feel happy, but it was like nirvana after countless bruises, which was inexplicably sad.

Then he took a deep breath and slowly exhaled another breath of turbidity.

After a while, the early riser girl walked to the vicinity of the patio. However, when looking at the only wooden barrel in front of her, the little girl was in trouble again.

She was born in a poor family, and carrying water is a common thing, so naturally there is nothing to worry about. But there is only a bucket and nothing else, how can she fetch water?

As the little girl circled around the patio, a clear squeak sounded in the courtyard again.

The little girl hurriedly turned around as if she had been caught as a thief, looking nervous and at a loss.

I saw a young man in white standing quietly at the door of the guest room of the two rooms where she slept last night, and he seemed to be about the same age as himself.

The young man in white stretched lazily, and then smiled gently at the little girl, "You got up so early! Can you get used to sleeping last night?"

"It's okay, it's just that the big bed is too soft and a little unsteady. The little girl grinned and said casually.

"Oh. The young man in white nodded slightly, and jumped down from the steps step by step, "You used to be at this hour?"

"Yes," the little girl narrowed her eyes and nodded, "If you want to follow grandpa out to set up a stall, there will be no place when it's late." ”

The young man in white nodded again, "Then you want to fetch water?"

"Yes," the little girl suddenly collapsed as if she thought of something unhappy, "but the master here is really lazy, and he doesn't even have a rope, so can it be that I jump down to get a bucket of water and climb up again?"

The boy seemed to think that the little girl's words were very interesting, and he couldn't help but smile and narrowed his eyes.

The little girl was a little annoyed when she saw this, and couldn't help but stomp her feet, "Why are you like this?"

The young man in white had already walked in front of the little girl, and when he saw this, he also pretended to make a small face, "That's it, the master here is really lazy." ”

The little girl smiled at this time, and then seemed to think of something and quickly covered her mouth to prevent herself from making too much noise.

The young man in white smiled indifferently and said casually: "It's okay, those guys are sleeping like dead pigs, and the sky may not wake them up when the sky falls." ”

The little girl put down her hand and continued to giggle. But when he turned around and saw the emptiness next to the patio, he immediately made a bitter face, and turned his head to look at the young man in white, "Hey, do you have a way?"

The young man in white seemed to think about it very seriously, and then nodded.

At this moment, there was another squeak behind the two of them, and then Zhu Qingshan was seen walking out of the rightmost guest room.

Seeing the two children looking back at him, Zhu Qingshan was slightly stunned, and then smiled lightly: "Brother Xiao got up so early. ”

Xiao Feng smiled at him and nodded.

The little girl beside Xiao Feng became nervous again.

Zhu Qingshan walked two steps quickly to Xiao Feng, glanced at the little girl, and hesitated: "Brother Xiao, this is ......."

Xiao Feng spread his hands helplessly, "Fetch water, the master here is so lazy that he didn't even take out the rope, I was about to get it." ”

Zhu Qingshan opened his mouth and was about to speak, but he saw Xiao Feng winking at him and then at the little girl.

Zhu Qingshan immediately understood, knowing that Xiao Feng was afraid of scaring the little girl, so he said, "Then go down and get it." ”

Xiao Feng smiled and nodded.

Seeing Zhu Qingshan leave, the little girl breathed a long sigh of relief and said casually: "You all know where the warehouse is?"

Xiao Feng nodded. A large courtyard like this, the main hall, guest rooms, warehouse, ...... As long as you read more or have some understanding of this aspect, even if you are looking for something in a strange place, it is easy to find it step by step.

The little girl was born in a bad alley, so she naturally didn't know this, so she couldn't help but look strange, "This big yard won't be yours, right?"

Xiao Feng shook his head, "An elder, but he doesn't often live here." ”

The little girl suddenly pushed Xiao Feng, "Then what did you pretend to be stupid with me just now?"

It's just that what she didn't expect was that this young man who looked about the same age as herself would be so weak, as soon as she pushed him, he fell, and he was immediately dumbfounded and at a loss.

Xiao Feng slowly got up and sighed helplessly. His current body is in such a mess that he really doesn't dare to move his true anger, otherwise he is afraid that he will not be able to hold out to Bailing Valley, and he doesn't want a girl who is a few years younger than him to easily push him down.

Turning his head and seeing that the little girl was so frightened that she was about to cry, Xiao Feng raised his hand and patted the soil on his body, made a grimace at the little girl, and deliberately said fiercely: "So fierce, be careful that you can't marry in the future." ”

"I ...... I didn't mean to," the little girl was so sluggish that she looked at Xiao Feng with a bitter little face, with an expression that Xiao Feng was about to cry before she could cry, "Don't be angry, I didn't expect you to have such little strength, you ...... It's okay if you don't come back, I promise you won't fight back, really. ”

"Don't you see that I'm not angry at all?" Xiao Feng was helpless, "Besides, let me beat girls, it's so shameless." ”

The little girl blinked, teary-eyed, "Really?"

"Uh-huh. Xiao Feng nodded hurriedly, he was most afraid that others would cry at him.

The little girl burst into tears and laughed.

The two little guys chatted for a while, and Zhu Qingshan brought a big bundle of rope.

It's just that there is a lot of dust on the rope, which has obviously not been used for a long time, and whether the knot is strong or not is two words.

The two little ones looked at each other, a little hesitant.

Xiao Feng pretended to think about it again, and then whispered something in the little girl's ear.

The little girl's eyes lit up, and she immediately nodded, and went to the guest room where she had stayed before. She remembered that there seemed to be several wooden basins stacked in the room.

It was only when she reached the stairs that the girl consciously lifted her feet and was cautious.

Seeing this, Xiao Feng smiled slightly.

Zhu Qingshan, who was watching from the sidelines, looked confused.

Because I've never seen such a childish teenager.
