Chapter 3 The New Moon Moon
Fang just ate a little too much, the stupid girl rubbed her little belly, the person who had never eaten enough suddenly ate a full time, this feeling made the stupid girl a little novel, a little weird uncomfortable and comfortable coexist, and a little drowsy, this is really strange, she has always slept less, and she can't sleep for an hour or two every day, otherwise she wouldn't squat at the door of the house to poke ants in the early hours of this morning.
Everyone says that children sleep a lot, and so does her sister Sanya, who sleeps all day long, but she herself is not like this, and the stupid girl feels more and more that she is an outlier.
She has a good memory, remembers things early, sleeps less, can't cry, crying children have candy to eat, and her parents think she's stupid and easy to bring, but they also think she's not blessed.
She never explained to anyone that she was not stupid, and she intuitively felt that when others knew about her miraculousness, I am afraid that the consequences would not be much better than now.
After rubbing her little belly for a while, it was a lot more comfortable, and a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl shouted outside the door: "Girl, the hot water is ready, please come with me." ”
The stupid girl knew that this was called herself, and when she went out, she saw a girl with a double bun, wearing the same blue cotton skirt as them, with a hint of crampedness on her face, and said with a little stumbling: "Girl, I am a new servant, I will take you to the bath and change clothes." ”
"Why do you call me girl?"
"I don't know...... I saw that everyone else called you girl, so I called it that, and I didn't call it right?" the little girl was a little uneasy when she heard her question, as if she was afraid that she had called it wrong.
"No, I'm new too, I don't know. ”
The stupid girl stopped talking, and the little girl breathed a sigh of relief.
The yard is not big, the two of them only walked a dozen steps to the ear room in the backyard, very close to the noon eating place, a wooden shelf in the room, put the muslin cloth and loofah sac to wipe the body, a large wooden basin half an arm high, steaming inside.
The little girl squatted down to help the stupid girl take off the rags on her body, scooped a scoop of hot water, and dipped it in a loofah sac to scrub it.
The stupid girl is very dirty, the last time she took a bath, she seemed to have soaked in the river outside the village, and the dirt on her body was as thick as if she had put on an extra layer of human skin.
Then the little girl picked up the scissors again, and cut a big light for the stupid girl with a few clicks, and the stupid girl touched her cold brain melon seeds, but fortunately there was still a layer of hairy stubble on the scalp. Looking down at the yellow and dirty hairs on the ground, it seemed that there was really no need to wash them.
The little girl checked it carefully and smiled with satisfaction, "Fortunately, there are no fleas or anything, there is no need to apply medicine to you, in the future, you will enter the Holy Sect, eat a full meal every day, and your new hair will grow black and shiny." She took some bath beans and carefully scrubbed them on the stupid girl, until her whole body was so red that she couldn't rub a little mud anymore, and then she asked the stupid girl to use up the rest of the hot water, and rinsed it several times from head to toe with a scoop, and wiped the water with a muslin cloth.
The stupid girl obediently let her do it, so she was wrapped in a piece of muslin and picked up, went into the next room, and put her on the kang, where there was a set of new blue cotton clothes and shoes.
"You're quite light, my brother is five years old this year, and there are two of you who weigh more. The little girl said with a smile while dressing her, after a friendship of scrubbing the bath, the little girl was not so nervous, seeing that the stupid girl was so small, she was not afraid to come to the Holy Sect alone, she was so old, what else were you afraid of, Zuo was just working. "Curry doesn't have clothes of such a small size as you, and the granny in the kitchen has changed it for you, but the shoes don't have soles, so you can only make do with them and barely wear them first, some of them are big, you should be careful not to run away when you walk. ”
"It's okay, I didn't wear shoes before. The stupid girl replied dryly, she touched the small cloth shoes on her feet that did not fit, and moved her toes, it turned out that wearing shoes felt like this.
She used to wear her clothes with a rag and shoes wherever she could, and the village was full of gravel and dirt roads, and her feet had long been covered with thick calluses.
The little girl smiled helplessly, "Then you will have to get used to wearing shoes in the future." I think it's a pity for the cloth cut by Grandma, so I sewed a small hat for you, don't dislike the stitches. As he spoke, he took out a small blue cloth hat and put it on the stupid girl's head, which was just right.
"Let's go, I'll send you back and then go to the kitchen to help Grandma prepare dinner. ”
The stupid girl followed her back, and on the way she saw a man in a scholar's shirt carrying a birdcage, teasing the parrot on the shelf and talking, and the parrot croaked and followed along.
"It's time for dinner! It's time for dinner!"
It turned out that the broken gong voice heard at noon was this parrot.
The little girl called out to her husband and made a non-standard salute.
The man replied with a nonsensical acknowledgement, waved them away, and the little girl continued to walk with the stupid girl, and took the initiative to introduce her: "He is the biggest steward here, and we all call him sir, and it is his parrot, the red-billed green parrot, which is said to be a precious breed, worth five hundred taels of silver! ”
Five hundred taels, you can buy dozens of stupid girls.
"The melon seeds that the parrot eats every day are all eaten by someone, and the birds of the rich and noble families live better than the people of the poor families. The little girl said with envy, "No matter how good you are reincarnated, you can take advantage of it, and if you have wings, then the chickens, ducks and geese will not have this life." ”
"If there is an afterlife, I really want to be reincarnated as such a rich bird, who only eats, drinks, and laughs all day long, and does not work, what about you?" the little girl looked back at the parrot with some regret. 、
The stupid girl thought for a while, "If there is an afterlife, I want to reincarnate as a person like Mr. Sheng, and find you, a rich bird, and raise it." ”
There is a feeling of offense when you listen carefully to this, but the little girl is a little person who is only four years old, and the little girl didn't expect to go there, she only thinks that this fairy tale is childish and interesting, and she can't help laughing, "Your little mouth is really good at making people happy." ”
"Okay, go back quickly, I can't get the Holy Sect, and I can still have the fate to be in charge of your food, clothing, housing and transportation. ”
The stupid girl obediently agreed, went back to the room and stayed for a while, and then went to dinner with the children in the same room.
At night, the stupid girl was lying on the kang, and on the left and right sides were the sound of the children in the same room sleeping soundly, but the stupid girl couldn't sleep, and couldn't help but put her shoes on to the door to breathe, but she still remembered the rule that she couldn't walk around, and only looked at the semi-circular moon in the sky in the courtyard in front of the door.
It's almost August 15, and it's almost the stupid girl's birthday.
Stupid girl was born in the autumn of the fourth year of the new calendar, August 16, although no one has ever given her a birthday in the past few years since she was born, but she was born to know, her birthday is still remembered, she remembers that the day she was born was the night of the fifteenth, the morning of the sixteenth, after the mother gave birth to her, she scolded her for the dead girl, and the Mid-Autumn Festival did not make people happy.
Folded her hands and counted the numbers, the stupid girl was born in the autumn of the fourth year of the new calendar, the eldest brother and the baby were noisy to go to private school in the spring of the sixth year of the new calendar, the eldest sister and the eldest girl married the cripple Li Tu in the village, and her little nephew Shi was born in the winter of the sixth year of the new calendar, and the third girl was born in the summer of the seventh year of the new calendar, and in the autumn of the eighth year of the new calendar, the stupid girl was sold by her father and mother to be a drug tester.
In fact, if you calculate carefully, the stupid girl will not be considered to be four years old until August 16.
Not long after the beginning of autumn, the stupid girl couldn't help but be a little lucky, a few years ago she was still young and didn't have to do too much work, and she stayed at home without clothes to wear in winter before she was frozen to death, if she was not sold this year, with her father and mother thinking that she was stupid and treated her worse and worse, I am afraid that she will freeze to death on the way into the mountains to collect firewood this year.
The night is like water, the moonlight sprinkles a layer of silver on the whole yard, the stupid girl stretched out her hand to bathe in the moonlight, and the stupid girl after washing revealed her true appearance, her complexion was pale, her little face was pointy, and her eyes were still black and bright, but it was a pity that she had a single eyelid, her lips were small and thin, her lips were light, and she was almost invisible with a slight sip, and her eyebrows were sparse, which was not good-looking, after all, her father's foundation was there.
There are calluses on the hands and feet that have been grinded out by regular work, although the calluses are not very thick when they are young, but some small scars on them that have been scratched by stones and branches are difficult to remove.
She couldn't associate herself with the boy and girl as they called her, she hadn't seen where the other people who were the testers lived, and the good treatment she was receiving now, with food and clothing, was all because of her young age, and the gentleman with the birdcage casually said a word of pity.
