"Then wait a minute, you come down first." The little girl pointed out a way down for her, "I'll take you back after I finish washing the clothes."

Shen Jiexing walked down the stone arch bridge with her skirt in her hand, followed the path the little girl said, stepping tremblingly on a few stones protruding from the pit, and down the river.

She was cold and hungry, and she only hoped to have a bite of hot food, so she volunteered and said, "What clothes do you still have unwashed, let me help you."

"I don't want your help!" The little girl was very angry, "I will wash it myself. I know that people in the city like you use washing machines to wash clothes. Only when they are clean will there be ghosts. Don't waste washing powder. , Just stand by and wait for me, if you are tired, you can sit on that big rock."

Shen Jiexing sneered, but she didn't have to go up to help. The little girl was right. She was indeed not a person who could clean clothes. Stack them together and wash them in a bucket.

Thanks to Fu Xueqing, she hired a cleaning lady to clean her up once a week, otherwise Mrs. Bao and her might have to live in a garbage dump.

She sat on the big rock that the little girl said, the big rock was very clean, only some small ants and bugs, but as soon as Shen Jiexing approached, these small animals ran away one after another, probably because they smelled Princess Yue's smell breath.

After all, before entering the Princess Grave, although she easily provoked unclean things, she didn't hate ghosts as much as she does now.

As soon as she sat down, she felt that all her bones were limp, and she wished she could fall down and sleep comfortably.

Without a mobile phone to pass the time, she could only look around. After walking for a day, she could see almost all the surrounding scenes. Shen Jiexing focused on the only living person.

The little girl has to wash a lot of clothes, and the clothes will fill the bucket to the brim, but how big is that bucket?

Shen Jiexing even thought that the little girl could squat in it and take a bath.

Her movements of washing clothes are very neat, and anyone with a discerning eye can tell that she is a familiar hand.

"How old are you?" Shen Jiexing asked.

"Thirteen." The little girl's tone was indifferent, but she didn't ignore her.

"Then you should be in junior high school."

"No, I didn't study. I didn't study after I graduated from elementary school."

Shen Jiexing asked again: "Is your family not allowed to read? Is it because you have no money?"

"I don't want to read it myself. It's not interesting. I'm going to get married anyway. Why do girls read so many books?"

Shen Jiexing was shocked by the little girl's thoughts, and asked in amazement: "Who told you this?"

"My grandma said, and I also thought about it myself. Anyway, when I turn 16, I will get married. It's useless to read books."

"Married at 16? Do you have a boyfriend?"

"No, I don't like those men."

"Then how can you marry at the age of 16?"

"Anyway, it will definitely end. My grandma said that when I was 16, I would find a good family for me."

God, what kind of family is this, Shen Jiexing vaguely understood.

She asked the girl, "Then do you want to get married so early? Do you know that the legal age of marriage in our country is 22 years old? If you get married so early, you will not be able to get a marriage certificate. Without a marriage certificate, the law will not protect you." And it’s not good for a girl’s body to have a child too young, and a girl has to be at least 23 years old to enter the best reproductive period..."

"I don't want to get married, but what can I do?" The girl sprinkled washing powder on the jeans and rubbed them vigorously, "Get married early, and be the master of the family early. After I get married, I will have my own home. I want to be with my grandma." Said, ask her to find me a man without a mother-in-law, so that when I get married, no one will be on my head, and even if I want to do laundry, maybe I only need to wash two or three people."

"Then do you still want to study?" Shen Jiexing asked again. From the conversation between the two, she found that this girl was sober beyond her peers.

Maybe her vision is not wide enough, and her knowledge is not wide enough, but she has already planned her life as much as possible within the scope of her eyes.

Even this kind of life seems a little ridiculous to Shen Jiexing.

This question kept the little girl silent for a while, the wind was blowing silently, and it took Shen Zhexing to hear her voice, "...it's useless to study."

……

After washing the last piece of clothing in the icy stream, the girl used her slender arms to forcefully press the clothes into the bucket, and then tipped the bucket to pour out the excess water.

"Let's go." The girl beckoned Shen Jiexing to leave with her, "You lower your head, walk behind me, don't talk, do you understand?"

"Why? Be so careful, it looks like an underground party joint."

"Are you going to do it or not?" the girl said impatiently, "If you don't do it, get out!"

Shen Jiexing begged for forgiveness, "Okay, okay, I listen to you, I listen to you... Let me help you."

The girl couldn't lift the bucket of clothes, so she actually just pushed the bucket and moved it around on the ground.

"You can't lift it." She protected the bucket, avoiding Shen Zhaixing's hand.

It's a pity that compared with Shen Jiexing, she is too short. Shen Jiexing just circled around gently, then grabbed the handle of the tin bucket, and picked it up.

Heavy, really heavy, Shen Jiexing reckoned that this bucket of clothes with water probably weighed dozens of catties.

The girl showed a surprised expression, "Wow, you are so strong!"

Shen Jiexing was triumphant, "Of course!"

Without a good body, how can you be a magic stick?Jumping to the Great God is also very labor-intensive, okay?

What's more, in addition to being a magic stick, more often she has to "fight wits and courage" with all kinds of villains.

"...You are amazing." The little girl reluctantly admitted that she had lost her sight, and then reminded, "Do you remember what I just said? Don't talk later, do you know? What I say is just What, do you understand?"

"Understand, understand!" Shen Jiexing nodded and bowed, with a timid look, "I listen to you!"

The little girl let out a "puchi" laugh, but she turned her head away, not wanting Shen Jiexing to see the smile on her face.

"After chatting for so long, you still haven't told me your name?" Shen Jiexing asked for her name.

"My name is Zhou Zhaodi, but I will change my name in the future. I have already made up my mind. After I get married, I will change it to Zhou Yiyi. How about you?"

"My surname is Shen, and my name is Shen Zhaxing, which means I can pick the stars with my hands."

"Your name is so beautiful." Little girl, no, Zhou Zhaodi said enviously, "Your parents must be educated."

"What does it have to do with my parents?" Shen Jiexing shrugged, "It was taken by the head of the orphanage for me. I am an orphan and have no parents since I was a child."

If I really want to boast of being educated, I can only say that the directors of the orphanages of the two generations have a tacit understanding and gave her the same name.

"The welfare home..." Zhou Zhaodi asked curiously, "Is the welfare home fun?"

"It depends on how you look at it. It must be fun to come here once in a while, but it's not fun to live in it. Since childhood, more than a dozen people live in a room. Only by going to school and living in school can the number of people be reduced to single digits. Although there is no need to grab a meal, there is nothing delicious. Anyway, it is a big pot of rice. It is cheap and convenient. When volunteers or entrepreneurs come to donate, they are the happiest, because they can wear new clothes. You can also eat delicious food...”

"Then do you want to work?" Zhou Zhaodi asked her.

"Go ahead, wash your own clothes, wash your own dishes and so on. Anyway, it's your own thing to do."

"That's great, if only I could go to the orphanage." Zhou Zhaodi was very envious of the life she described.

Shen Jiexing doesn't know how to stand and talk without back pain, saying that families are warmer than orphanages, etc. She has seen many black hole families in her past and present lives, and many times she is glad that she is an orphan, otherwise there will be two The parents of the pit baby have no place to cry.

Snapped!Shen Jiexing suddenly reached out and grabbed a stone that went straight to Zhou Zhaodi's forehead.

After reacting, Zhou Zhaodi looked around and saw a little boy holding a slingshot, then grabbed the stone and rushed up angrily, threw the stone on the opponent, crossed his waist and cursed: "You are crazy! Is the skin tight? ? Believe it or not, I will call your father to clean you up!"

The boy was yelled at by her, but he was not angry, and asked with a smile, "Zhou Zhou, who is this? Is it your relative?"

"The madman Wu I picked up couldn't be chased away, so I had to call her to help me lift my clothes. She is very strong, don't mess with her, and don't come to me if you are beaten!" Zhou Zhaodi rolled her eyes and said.

"Oh, how do you say that teacher Liu taught, people flock together, things divide into groups, madmen and psychopaths get together! Your mother is a psychopath, and you picked up another Wu madman, haha, your family is all madmen !"

"Get out, get out for me, get out as far as you can, or I will let Crazy Wu hit you, do you believe she listens to me?"

Shen Jiexing cooperatively made a threatening gesture, as if to chase him.

The little boy ran away.

"A soft egg, something without eggs."

Zhou Zhaodi came back cursing, "Hurry up, Zhou Xiaobo must have called someone."

Fortunately, Zhou Zhaodi's home is not far away, just on the edge of the village, it is a spacious brick house...the adobe house behind it.

On a few trees in front of the house, holding a nylon thread, Zhou Zhaodi signaled Shen Jiexing to put the bucket in this place, and then led her into the house.

"I need some clothes hangers." She said, opened the door with the key hanging around her neck, raised her foot and shouted, "Mom, Mom, I'm back."

There was no light in the room, and it seemed that the windows were not open. It was pitch black. After a while, a light, ghost-like figure came out of the darkness.

She was wearing a white dress, and her skin was as white as if it could shine. Her messy long yellow hair hung over her shoulders, but it was hard to conceal her beauty.

This is a pale, delicate beauty that does not belong to this barren mountain village. She is like an exquisite white jade vase that should have been placed in a transparent glass cabinet in a museum. If there is a crack, it will break at any time.

She stared at the void with distant eyes, and it took a long time to meet Shen Jiexing's eyes, showing a pale smile, and her voice sounded lightly like a feather, "Are you Yiyi's friend? Come in and sit, come in and sit, I'm really sorry, there is nothing to entertain you at home."
