"Yes, but I don't think there's a suitable place to wash up here. I'm worried!" Cheng Mengying didn't feel any malice from the little girl, so she nodded.
"My room is closer to here. It's quite convenient to walk there. If you don't mind, why don't I take you to my place to wash up?" The little girl smiled brightly and pointed to a place not far away.
"Then … Alright, thank you in advance!" Cheng Mengying hesitated for a while and nodded. She followed the little girl and walked to a small wooden house nearby.
Because it was still in the backyard, Cheng Mengying didn't have much vigilance. As they walked, she chatted with the little girl, "May I ask, what's your name?"
"Oh, my name is Xiao Yue, the moon of the moon. What's your name, sister?" Xiao Yue immediately introduced herself and asked Cheng Mengying.
"My name is … My name is Cheng Yaoyao. Today, I also came here with my grandfather, Xishan Giant Ox. I didn't expect him to make a mistake and cause trouble for everyone. I'm really sorry." Cheng Mengying smiled bitterly and shook her head.
"Hehe, it's okay! In fact, when I first came here to work, I was also clumsy. At that time, I even got scolded by Butler Gao because I polished a material wrong! That guy is so fierce! "Xiao Yue stuck out her tongue cutely and said mischievously.
Cheng Mengying looked at her for a few times and found that the little girl's eyebrows were still a little immature. She hadn't fully grown, but she could already see that she was quite pretty. Although she wasn't the kind that could cause the downfall of a city, she still belonged to the type that came from a humble family. When she grew up, she would definitely be a beauty.
However, this little girl's body seemed very thin, and her spine was slightly curved. Although her hands were slender, her skin was quite rough. At first glance, it was obvious that she had worked a lot and didn't have enough nutrition. That was why she developed so late.
"Xiao Yue, how long have you been working here?" Cheng Mengying sized him up and asked curiously, "You don't look very old. Why are you doing this kind of rough work?"
According to the laws of the secular world, Xiaoyue could be regarded as underage child labor. If she was discovered, she would definitely be fined!
"Sigh, it's a long story … Those who choose to do this kind of hard labor, which one of them isn't from a poor family?" Hearing Cheng Mengying's question, Xiaoyue's eyes turned red as if she had recalled her sad past. However, she muttered to herself, "But I don't want to live like this for the rest of my life … I will find a way to leave one day, no matter what price I have to pay!"
Xiaoyue's voice was too soft for Cheng Mengying to hear clearly. She couldn't help asking, "What did you just say?"
"It's nothing." Xiaoyue forced a smile at Cheng Mengying, and then pushed open a door in front of her. "This is it. Go in and change your clothes! I'll go get some water for you to wash. "
"Thank you, Xiaoyue." Cheng Mengying couldn't stand her dirty appearance, so she didn't refuse. She thanked her and walked in.
After entering the room, Cheng Mengying looked at the surrounding environment and found that the room looked relatively dilapidated. The furniture inside was extremely simple. Except for a bed, a table, daily necessities, and a mirror, there was nothing else. No wonder Xiaoyue was so at ease to let strangers in.
Although it looked very dilapidated, there was no dust in the entire room. It looked relatively clean. The cleanest thing was the mirror. It seemed that even though Xiaoyue did such hard work every day, she still maintained the characteristics of a girl. She loved cleanliness and liked to look in the mirror and feel sorry for herself.
With a slight sigh, Cheng Mengying put aside the thoughts in her mind and took off her dirty clothes. Then, she opened her luggage and chose a relatively simple dress to wear.
After wearing it, Cheng Mengying looked at her face in front of the mirror. She found that her nose, eyelids, and forehead were all dark stains, but her lips and chin were the same as before. It was like a Zorro wearing a mask!
Not long after, someone knocked on the door gently. After waiting for Cheng Mengying to respond, the door was opened again. Xiaoyue entered the door with a basin of water and placed it on the table. Then, she looked at Cheng Mengying with a smile and said, "Sister Yaoyao, hurry up and wash it! We have to get things done quickly and go back to work. Otherwise, the supervisor will scold us again! "
"En, okay!" Cheng Mengying nodded and immediately walked over. She bent down and quickly washed the stains on her face. Fortunately, the black dust was originally stuck to her face, so it was easier to wash. So, after a little rubbing, it fell off, and the clear water in the basin suddenly turned black.
While waiting for Cheng Mengying to finish washing her face, Xiaoyue picked up the dirty clothes on the side and put them in a large basin in the corner. It seemed to be used for washing clothes.
Standing up, Xiaoyue turned around and walked back. Her eyes inadvertently swept across Cheng Mengying's luggage and couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow! Sister Yaoyao, your clothes are so beautiful! "
Xiaoyue felt that the clothes in the luggage seemed to have magic, attracting her step by step. She didn't forget to say enviously, "Sister Yaoyao, where did you buy your clothes? I've never seen such beautiful clothes in any of the clothing stores in our town. Even the most expensive treasures can't compare to them! You must have been a rich lady in the past, right? "
Walking to the front of the luggage, Xiaoyue looked down at the exquisite and beautiful clothes. She didn't dare to touch them, and her pupils were shining with envy.
"It's nothing. If you like it, I can give you one!" At this time, Cheng Mengying had already wiped her face clean. She picked up a high-end custom-made dress bought in the secular world and stuffed it into Xiaoyue's hands.
In fact, after entering the Inner Wulin, Cheng Mengying rarely wore the clothes of the secular world. She still felt that ancient robes were more comfortable, and they looked quite sage-like. The most important thing was that they could cover her small chest, so she hadn't touched those clothes of the secular world for a long time.
"Really?" Xiaoyue looked at the clothes in her hands with surprise and joy. Suddenly she came to her senses and quickly handed the clothes back. "No, Sister Yaoyao, these clothes are too expensive. I can't accept them!"
Although she said so, Xiaoyue's eyes were still fixed on the clothes in her hands, as if it was good to look at them a few more times.
