The difficult path of cultivation for a grassroots female practitioner

Because he came here in a body and there was no trace of his existence here, Xiao Han could only bring out the amnesia plot and say that he woke up in a grass ditch not far from the city, then had a headache and could not remember anything.

Because of this, she had nowhere to go, ended up on the streets, and was eventually thrown into jail.

Although Nanny Lin thought her words were a bit outrageous, she also felt that there was no need for her to tell such a self-inflicted lie, so she ultimately chose to believe it. However, the rules could not be broken, so Xiao Han still had to work to pay off his debts.

However, Nanny Lin didn't treat her harshly because she was young, didn't have a seductive look, and looked like an honest and ordinary person. She just asked her to wash clothes.

There are many stewards of all sizes in the City Lord's Mansion, and their clothes are washed by the slaves who are specifically responsible for washing.

Criminals like Xiao Han, who did not commit serious crimes but had no money to pay the fines, would be arranged to do odd jobs in the City Lord's Mansion to pay off their debts.

Most people were assigned to do dirty work like cleaning toilets. It was really kind of Nanny Lin that Xiao Han was assigned to wash clothes.

Xiao Han was born in the countryside and grew up in a family where her grandparents and father had a strong preference for boys over girls. She had done a lot of housework since she was a child. Therefore, washing clothes was not a very painful thing for her.

It's just that she has been hungry since yesterday and it made her feel uncomfortable.

The elderly women who were in charge of the laundry were naturally inclined to talk to her and ask her questions when they saw a young girl doing the laundry. However, when they realized that they could not understand each other, they stopped talking to her and continued to chat while they worked.

Xiao Han then pricked up his ears, trying hard to listen to their pronunciation and guess the meaning of each of their words.

In this way, time passed quickly.

At noon, a servant in charge of delivering meals came to the laundry yard, carrying porridge, mixed flour buns, two kinds of vegetables, and one kind of pickled vegetable.

Everyone immediately dropped what they were doing and rushed over to have lunch.

Xiao Han also dropped the half-rinsed clothes and ran over.

Perhaps Nanny Lin had informed the person in charge of delivering the food, so the bowls and chopsticks brought included Xiao Han's set.

The food was placed on the stone table in the yard. Xiao Han filled a large ceramic bowl with half a bowl of porridge, took a mixed flour bun, put some pickles in it, and sat on the small stool used for washing clothes to eat.

When people are extremely hungry, they will swallow anything that is edible. Moreover, this porridge is made from white rice, and the mixed flour buns will not make the throat sore.

Xiao Han loves to eat all kinds of pickled vegetables, so now that there are pickles with porridge, she eats them especially happily.

A small bowl of porridge and a big steamed bun immediately filled up her previously hungry stomach.

After lunch, everyone only rested for a quarter of an hour before continuing to work.

Since lunch, several elderly women who were doing laundry learned from the person who delivered the food that Xiao Han was a criminal who was working to pay off his debts, and they began to verbally and gesturely ask her to be responsible for fetching water to rinse the clothes.

Xiao Han understood it, but she still pretended to be confused and said that she didn't understand.

Seeing that she didn't understand, they could only glare at her fiercely and then go to fetch water and rinse by themselves.

Xiao Han sat on a small stool, rubbing clothes with his head down, curling his lips in disdain.

The well is very deep and it is difficult to draw water. You cannot sit down to rinse clothes because you have to bend over all the time. Naturally, no one is willing to do it.

She is not a fool, so why should she be ordered around by them?

It was not until 2:15 PM that all the clothes for the day were washed and everyone was able to sit down and rest.

Xiao Han was sitting near the crowd, seemingly staring blankly ahead, but in fact he was secretly listening to everyone's chat.

In fact, no matter it is a dialect or the language of another country completely differently, as long as you are in that environment and there is no one around you speaking the language you are familiar with, over time, even those who have no talent for languages will be forced to slowly understand it.

In fact, after spending a long time with the people here and listening to them more, Xiao Han gradually discovered that what they say here sounds like a dialect that is very different from Mandarin.

You may feel that you don’t understand a single word at first, but if you immerse your mind in it and listen more, you will slowly find that you can still understand the general meaning of some sentences.

After dinner, Xiao Han was taken away by Nanny Lin and handed over to the female head of the prison.

Because at night, she still has to go back to her cell to sleep.

Even if she was able to communicate with Nanny Lin and knew that her situation was special, she still had to sleep in the cell until she paid enough fines.

Nanny Lin looked serious, but she was kind-hearted. She took out an old, worn-out piece of clothing and handed it to Xiao Han.

"It's still a bit chilly at night. Take this piece of clothing with you and put it under your body. It can at least block out some of the moisture."

Xiao Han took it and thanked him quickly.

After returning to the cell, although she was reluctant, she finally put the clothes as a cushion on the straw.

With a piece of clothing as isolation, Xiao Han lay on the straw pile. Although he still felt uncomfortable everywhere, he could barely feel at ease.

However, she didn't expect that after working all day, she fell asleep in the straw pile not long after lying there.
