I hopped past your cell

Yin Yan dodged an outstretched arm.

It was a customer stretching, and the outstretched arm just hit her hair.

Under the stage, there is not much space between the round tables.She shuttled here nimbly, reacting extremely quickly, avoiding the tea that a servant accidentally knocked over, and also bypassing the steward who drove her away.Finally, the 13-year-old girl climbed onto the platform with her small package in her arms and went around the back.

The people behind saw that she was wearing coarse clothes, and turned their eyes to the actor in makeup, so they knew whose poor relatives were coming.Someone deliberately raised his voice and said, "Whose family's good sister is this?"

Someone who was drawing eyebrows stopped the pen.

Moments later the little girl was somewhere hidden backstage.She looked at the curtain separating herself from that person, feeling a little depressed.She came to see her brother, not the broken curtain.

There was the sound of cloth being changed from the other side of the curtain.

"Aren't you still singing opera today?"

"What kind of song? You told me to go back just now." There was a trace of grievance in the voice over there.

"If you are willing to do that, you won't be kicked out."

The curtain was pulled open with a jerk.

An extremely beautifully painted face appeared in front of the girl's eyes.The other party wanted to say something, after a pause, he lowered his voice and said:

"Others say that men are robbers and women are prostitutes. The co-authors are in our house. Is this the other way around?"

After that, he glanced at the package in the girl's arms, turned his neck, pretended not to care and said, "How much?"

"How much what?"

"You're pretending to be stupid, right?" Seeing that the man was about to take the package, she didn't resist and sent the things up.When the man unwrapped the package, she said vaguely: "It's fine if you don't want to be praised by those old men. I can still steal more and make more money. We have to help each other in our family."

"Do you need someone to help you? You're like an idiot when you're young. If there's any trouble, you can run faster than anyone else. Otherwise, old man Yang will take a fancy to you and ask you to be a thief?"

This sounded like a compliment, the girl smiled.

The man went on to say: "I heard that you have made a lot of money recently, and many people are following you. Be careful."

"I'm fine. I haven't gone out to work these two days."

"That's not right, isn't it going to take you with me when I go out?"

The girl lowered her head and said with a smile: "A new girl half a year old has arrived, she is very clever."

Five years of the Republic of China.summer.

It rained last night, and a certain roof in the courtyard collapsed again.The landlord was terribly fierce, as if they tiptoed themselves and stabbed it last night.The eldest girl took a sip of cold water, and scolded the landlord very refreshingly outside for a long time.The girl who got up early was braiding her hair and listening to the voices outside, a little smile appeared on her face.

Yin Yan took the basin and walked out.The basin was too big and too small, and she couldn't carry it after receiving the water, so she had to wash it by the well.A passing girl told her not to squat, because if she squatted, she had to keep her legs together, which was very ugly.

Yin Yan raised his head to answer her, just in time to see the door of the east room opened.From there came two 15-year-old girls one after the other.The one in front is Su Huai, she is easy-going and easy to get along with, while the one in the back is a bit scary, and she always feels that she is ready to fight at any time.Fortunately, she is still restrained in this yard.

Su Huai fetched a basin of water, but he didn't wash himself. Instead, he twisted a white handkerchief and greeted the faces of the people behind.The person whose face was wiped raised his neck, narrowed his eyes, and his face showed the expression of a cat after being groomed.

"It's not dirty, look at you mud monkey. I remember I picked you up by the river. Did you bring all the mud from the river?"

Yuan Ye didn't answer, took a step back, and brushed water on his face again.She straightened up and just happened to see Yin Yan who was looking over here.

Yuan Ye chuckled.

"What is such a small person doing with a big basin?"

After she finished speaking, she turned around and entered the room, and when she came out, she brought a small basin.She walked up to Yin Yan and said, "Here, use this. Don't keep squatting by the well to wash."

Yin Yan didn't pick it up properly and almost dropped the basin on the ground.After catching it, she looked inside and saw two big peonies painted on the bottom of the basin, which were very beautiful.

"Keep it for good use."

Yin Yan was stunned, there was no pot or peony in his head, it was just like the man when his face was wiped.She couldn't help but want to try being wiped on her face. It's just that she is such a big person, does she need help from others to wash her face?She splashed water, walked back, and heard someone say: "Then Yuan Ye, did you pick it up two years ago?"

"It is said that I was a little dazed at the beginning, but after a few days, I became quick-witted again."

"Yeah, she's clever enough, but she can win people over. Su Huai is also really good at it. A box of makeup can coax her over."

win over?Yin Yan glanced at his basin.

Yuan Ye and Su Huai who went out in the evening came back.Su Huai has always been quiet and doesn't want to talk about outside affairs.After entering, it was Yuan Ye who was talking intermittently: "Blocking the way? He stopped one to see, and I will deal with whoever stops me. Who is willing to give in when it comes to money?"

"These days are so chaotic, whoever will be gone tomorrow, while still alive, eating two bites is better than anything else."

In the evening, Yuan Ye came out to wash his face with a basin.The girls here either go out to steal things at night, or they are exhausted, who has the time to clean up.Yin Yan stood at the door, watching her wash.

Yin Yan heard her talking to herself: "Really, without water and milk, my face is so dry."

Does the water mean well water?But milk, what is this?Cow's milk or goat's milk?

Yuan Ye found someone behind, so he turned to greet her.Yin Yan hesitated for a moment, then moved over.

"How about I give you the basin?"

Yin Yan remembered the words of "wooing" he had heard during the day, and shook his head: "Not good."

"Hey, you still hate it when I give you something."

Yin Yan also felt that he was wrong and blushed.The man didn't seem to care, rubbing his face intently.

"You, what are you rubbing your face for?"

"Let me tell you, the face will be smaller like this. Come, let me rub it for you."

Yuan Ye pinched Yin Yan's cheek involuntarily.Yin Yan was forced to raise his head, and found that he opened his mouth and quickly closed it, afraid of being laughed at, his eyes were moist.

And the person holding her looked at her carefully for a while and then let go: "Forget it, you have an oval face."

Yin Yan felt that he hadn't even breathed just now, as if he had been strangled by the neck, and now he was able to breathe.The place where the man touched her face was still hot, which distracted her.

Yin Yan reacted very quickly since he was a child.For the weak, it is impossible to fight, but it is always possible to escape.But she is still too young to know that there are some things that she can't escape.During a certain plague, when she woke up, she only saw her second brother and fourth sister beside her.

"Boss, fifth, seventh?"

"Gone."

It seems that something is imprisoning her, so that she can only work hard for survival in this life, instead of laughing happily for a while.

She thought, if I could get along with others generously and express my emotions like this person, that would be great.

Really, I envy this man.

Before Yuan Ye went back, Yin Yan called her, "I'll get you some milk tomorrow."

It is the reward for the basin.
