Chapter 238: Substitute Village Girl 7
"Oh oh oh..."
Murong Zhaohua was awakened by the crowing of a rooster. This was her second day at the Liu family. She had pretended to be sick yesterday, but she was definitely not going to be able to do that today.
She had already gotten a lot of information out of Liu Menghan, and had learned a lot of information, which helped her to better protect her disguise.
Murong Zhaohua put on his clothes and got up to work.
Liu Menghan also got up. Last night she promised her second sister to cook with her. Later, her second sister would go with her to cut grass for pigs and wash clothes.
In the past, the two of them had done their work separately, but the second sister suddenly wanted to do it together, and she also thought it was fun.
Murong Zhaohua heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, this little girl was there, otherwise he would definitely be exposed.
She hated A Lie to death in her heart, and she was sure that A Lie had abandoned her and ran away.
Now that she is no longer the daughter of a marquis and has no power or influence, it is normal for Alie to run away.
Hey……
Murong Zhaohua watched Liu Menghan's movements carefully. She had to learn it carefully, otherwise there would be no one to help her when she did it herself in the future.
"Second sister, you look so strange today. Why are you staring at me?"
Liu Menghan stuffed the firewood into the stove and waited carefully for the fire to be lit before placing the firewood in place.
Murong Zhaohua stammered, "Oh, I'm still a little dizzy, so my hands and feet are not flexible."
Liu Menghan suddenly realized. No wonder her second sister asked her for help. Then she had to do more to help her second sister so that she could have a good rest.
"Second sister, please sit down and let me do the work."
Liu Menghan quickly lit the fire, poured the rice in to cook, and started picking wild vegetables.
After cooking the meal, they went to clean the yard. After cleaning the yard, they went to feed the chickens.
Murong Zhaohua looked at the chicken shit in the chicken coop and almost vomited.
Although the chicken coop is cleaned frequently, the smell is very strong in the summer and the stench can be smelled from a distance.
Liu Menghan took Murong Zhaohua to feed the pigs again. This time, Murong Zhaohua couldn't hold it back and vomited directly.
Liu Menghan was terrified. "Second sister, your illness is not healed yet? Is your condition serious?"
The little girl was almost in tears. What would she do if her second sister fell ill?
In this era, getting sick is a big deal, and catching a cold can be fatal, which is why Liu Menghan is so afraid.
Murong Zhaohua held Liu Menghan's hand and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm fine. I just feel a little uncomfortable. I'll be fine after some rest."
Liu Menghan nodded and worked more diligently. She refused Murong Zhaohua's offer of help and worked silently by herself.
At breakfast, the family sat together to eat. This was the first time Murong Zhaohua appeared in front of the whole family. She was a little nervous and hesitated whether she should hide back in her room and come out after a few days.
Li started to curse, "If you're not dead, then work for me. You're getting lazy day by day. You're still lazy at this age."
Murong Zhaohua didn't dare to go back to his room, so he could only grit his teeth and sit down.
Liu Chengde took the steamed bread and ate it with porridge without even looking at his second daughter. After he finished eating, he carried his hoe and went out.
Li cursed a few words and buried her head in eating. However, Liu Mengyuan looked up at his second sister and felt that she seemed prettier.
Murong Zhaohua ate her meal tremblingly, and only after everyone had left did she collect and wash the dishes.
Liu Menghan had already prepared the backpack and was waiting for her second sister to go out together.
Murong Zhaohua was such a loser that she couldn't even wash dishes. Liu Menghan became impatient and ran into the kitchen to wash the dishes in a few seconds. Then they went out together.
"Second sister, if you are sick, just stay at home. I will do the laundry and cut grass for the pigs."
Murong Zhaohua shook her head. She must learn to do housework in these two days, otherwise, she would be exposed soon.
This time without Alie's help, Murong Zhaohua made a lot of progress.
"I'm much better now. It's a good opportunity for me to go out and get some sun. I think I'll get better soon."
Liu Menghan didn't say anything else and took Murong Zhaohua to the river.
There were already many people washing clothes by the river. They were all teenage girls and a few aunts. They worked very quickly and finished washing clothes while they were talking.
There were many stones in the river. In order to avoid getting their shoes wet, everyone took off their shoes and went into the water to wash them.
Liu Menghan also took off her shoes. There were many little girls in the water, and some children were catching fish and shrimps.
Murong Zhaohua had never played like this before. Looking at the clear water, she took off her shoes and felt the water washing her feet.
Murong Zhaohua looked around. The place was picturesque with clear water and green mountains, and the years were peaceful. Except for the fact that the food was not very good, life was pretty good.
She imitated Liu Menghan, picked up the clothes and scrubbed them on the stone slab. After washing one piece of clothing, she washed it in an orderly manner.
"Little girl, you're hit in the leg!"
A burst of laughter came from the side. Murong Zhaohua looked over in the direction of the sound. She saw a little girl next to her with a long, yellow-patterned worm on her leg, lying on her white calf.
The little girl exclaimed, then pinched the worm with her hand and pulled it down. The worm was pulled into a long line, and then with a "click", it was pulled off.
When Murong Zhaohua saw the wound on the little girl's leg, blood immediately oozed out. The red blood flowed into the water, soon dyeing the nearby water pink, and was then washed away by the current.
The little girl picked up a piece of grass and poked it into the insect's head, then pulled it and the insect turned inside out.
Murong Zhaohua shuddered and got goosebumps. What was this thing? It was so scary!
The little girl seemed used to it. She threw the insect on the shore under the sun, touched the wound a few times with her hand, and started washing clothes.
Murong Zhaohua only felt a chill. She felt her legs were hairy and there seemed to be many small insects crawling on them.
"Wow..."
Murong Zhaohua quickly climbed ashore, as if there was an evil spirit in the water.
"Second sister..."
Liu Menghan looked at Murong Zhaohua in surprise. What happened to her?
Murong Zhaohua was about to cry. She took back what she had just said. She really couldn't stay in the countryside anymore.
"Little sister, I...I'm going to cut grass for the pigs..."
Murong Zhaohua ran away with the backpack, for she was afraid that if she stayed any longer she would not be able to hold back and scream loudly.
Liu Menghan stretched out her hand and wanted to call her second sister, but Murong Zhaohua had already run far away.
"The pig grass is in the river? Why did my second sister go there?"
Liu Menghan lowered her head and continued to wash clothes. She thought her second sister must be confused, so she decided to just cut grass for the pigs herself.
Murong Zhaohua ran to the foot of the mountain and burst into tears. Without Alie, she really couldn't live happily anymore.
Murong Zhaohua was so busy crying that she didn't notice that Liu Mengyuan was robbing a bird's nest in a tree not far away.
Liu Mengyuan looked at Murong Zhaohua and blinked. Isn’t this Xiaoxi?
Murong Zhaohua cried for a while before she stopped. She looked around, but really didn't know what pig feed was, so she went to look for Liu Menghan with her backpack on her back.
When they returned to the river, Liu Menghan had not gone home yet, but she had cut a lot of pig grass and put it on the shore. When she saw Murong Zhaohua coming back, she asked her to put the grass into the backpack, and they both carried it home.
