Xiaoxia hurriedly ran out of the room and went to the kitchen. She poured the hot water from the kettle into the basin, and then poured cold water into it. She tested the temperature with her hands. The temperature was just right. Then she picked up her towel and came to her room. Xiaoxia started from
A chair was brought over from the side, the basin was placed on the chair, the towel was put into the warm water, then the towel was picked up and wrung out, and the dirt on the little girl's face was gently wiped away. The little girl suddenly opened her eyes.
, stared at Xiaoxia with blood-red eyes. Xiaoxia was so frightened that she lost her balance and fell backwards. Xiaoxia's feet kicked over the chair and spilled water all over the floor.
The little girl sat up, looked at Xiaoxia and said softly.
"Is it okay! What happened to you just now? I saw that you were staring at me just now. When I woke up, you were startled. Am I too scary?"
The little girl's voice is as gentle as the elder sister's, but the little girl's voice is very quiet. If you don't listen carefully, you won't know what the little girl is saying.
Xiaoxia also got up from the ground and looked at the little girl with the same eyes as ordinary people.
Xiaoxia scratched her head, she must have seen it wrong, she looked nervous.
"It's not because you are ugly, you are actually very good-looking. I found something dirty on your face. I wanted to help you wipe it off, but I didn't expect you to wake up suddenly and scare me."
The little girl also smiled, looked around, and asked Xiaoxia.
"How did I get here? Can you tell me where this is?"
Xiaoxia also looked at the little girl with a puzzled expression, but Xiaoxia didn't think much and answered the little girl's question.
"I found you at the entrance of our village. I saw that you were unconscious and carried you in. This is my home. I also have a grandfather named Meng Renzhe. Although this place is a little run-down, I have lived here for several years.
, my name is Mengxia, you can also call me Xiaoxia, the neighbors nearby also call me that, what about you, girl?"
The little girl rolled around on the bed holding her head, trying to find her name in her memory, but she didn't expect that her memory would be so blurry that she couldn't remember it at all. The more she thought about it, the more her head hurt.
Xiaoxia also sensed something was wrong, but was a little scared and hesitant, but finally decided to run over.
"Girl, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
The little girl looked in pain, and her voice sounded like she was out of breath when she spoke.
"I don't know why my previous memories are blurry. I can't remember my name either. What's wrong with me? My head hurts so much!"
Xiao Xia stood aside and pondered for a while. She must have thought of something and muttered next to her.
"Why can't this girl remember her name? Did some sister lie to me? I don't know if she will come to pick up her sister in a few days. I don't care. Whether she comes to pick her up or not is her business.
"
The little girl stared at Xiaoxia, who had been muttering quietly.
"What are you mumbling to yourself?"
Xiaoxia, who had been mumbling, was startled and almost sat down on the ground again. Fortunately, she stood firm. Xiaoxia was so nervous that she stuttered when speaking.
"Don't you...have a headache? Why are you okay now?"
The little girl smiled again.
"Why are you so startled? Why are you so timid? I won't have a headache if I don't think about what happened before!"
After the little girl finished speaking, she made a face, making the nervous Xiao Xia laugh, and then put on her shoes and got out of bed.
Someone pushed the door open outside the room and came in.
"The meal is ready, let's go and eat!" The old man also saw the little girl standing next to Xiaoxia and showed a kind smile. "Little girl, you are awake. Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"
The little girl also smiled at the old man.
"Grandpa, I'm fine. Thank you Xiaoxia and grandpa for taking care of me."
The old man still showed a kind smile.
"As long as everything is fine, let's come over and eat together! It won't be fine until the food gets cold."
The two children followed the old man to the chairs in front of the dining table and sat down. Xiaoxia looked ashamed when she saw the food on the table.
"Girl, I'm so sorry! This may be the best meal for our family. Since it's been snowing these past few days, I can't go up the mountain to find food. The road to Purple Heart City was also buried in heavy snow, so the girl just made do with it.
In a few days, when it stops snowing, I will go to Zixin City to buy food."
The little girl looked at Xiao Xia with a smile on her face, making Xiao Xia feel shy.
"I'm not a young lady. As long as I can eat enough and not starve to death, I don't care whether the food is good or not."
The old man asked a question that Xiao Xia also wanted to ask. The old man was very tactful and did not ask the uncomfortable question. The old man also knew that the little girl had been abandoned by her relatives.
"Little girl, do you have somewhere to go? If not, you can stay at our house. May I ask who the girl's last name is?"
The old man had been observing the little girl's expression when he asked these questions. If the little girl's face changed slightly, the old man would not continue to ask.
Xiao Xia also kept staring at the little girl, fearing that the little girl would have a headache thinking about the past. Xiao Xia was relieved when she found that the little girl didn't have any headache symptoms.
The little girl answered expressionlessly.
"I can't remember anything that happened before I woke up, and I have nowhere to go."
The old man also nodded.
"Little girl, please call me Mengxue from now on! That's great."
The little girl also nodded in agreement.
The old man said: "Xiaoxia, please move into my room and sleep with me tonight. Xiaoxue, just sleep in Xiaoxia's room. Just treat this place as your own home."
Xiaoxia and Xiaoxue nodded in agreement at the same time, and the old man stood up and left.
Xiaoxia looked at Xiaoxue and smiled: "I think you are about the same age as Xiaona, so I am older than you. You can call me brother from now on!"
Xiaoxue said with a look of disgust: "You are so timid. If you become my brother, what will I do if I am bullied by others in the future? Brothers usually have to protect their sisters. Can you do it if you are so timid?
If you can do it, I will call you brother from now on."
Xiaoxia said angrily: "That's because I am timid in front of you. If I am not so timid in front of others, if someone bullies my friends and people around me, I will never let him go, even if I can't beat him.
If you want to fight, don’t worry, brother will protect you from now on, I believe in brother.”
Xiaoxue was also heart-warmed by Xiaoxia's words. A smile appeared on Xiaoxue's face, she got up and walked to her room.
"Then I'll look at your future performance. I hope you can keep your promise and go to bed early."
Xiaoxue looked back at Xiaoxia and smiled before entering her room.
Xiaoxia stood up and put away the dishes and chopsticks on the table, then she clenched her fists to cheer herself up, and then returned to the room. Seeing that her grandfather had fallen asleep, she slowly went to bed and lay down, Mengxia novel murmured.
"I will definitely do what I say, I will definitely become stronger to protect you, and I will prove it to you."
