As the mayor spoke, he even made a few jokes.
The mayor’s words eased the mood of the people present. Walking on the mountain path that alternated between high and low was not as boring as it was at the beginning.
Most of the people stayed in Wuzhen. Only a dozen or so people followed him to Dali village.
Fortunately, it did not rain during the day, and the mountain road was not slippery. The people climbed until they were out of breath.
Two hours later, while the people repeatedly asked if they had arrived, the mayor brought the people to a small village.
This was Dali village.
Compared to Wu town, this place was even more down and out.
Even the mud houses had become houses that only the rich people of Dali village could afford to live in. Many families in Dali village built shabby thatched houses.
The mayor went from house to house and asked people to arrange for Yun Jian and the others to live in the houses.
Yun Jian and Liang Xiumin were arranged to live in the same house in Dali village.
After the mayor gave his advice, they returned to Wuzhen.
The dozen or so college students who were arranged to live in Dali village were told by the mayor that the children of these families would cross a few mountains on their own the next day to study in Wuzhen.
At that time, Yun Jian and the others would follow the children of their respective families to Wuzhen Primary School and gather with the dozens of other college students who had come here to teach.
At that time, the mayor had already left, and Yun Jian and Liang Xiumin were sitting at the wooden table of the family that had been arranged to enter.
It was already 11 o’clock in the night. The children and farmers in the mountains had all gone to bed early, and they had fallen asleep as soon as the sky turned dark.
Today’s incident happened suddenly. The mayor woke up the people from these families and arranged for Yun Jian and the others to move in.
At this moment, Yun Jian and Liang Xiu Min were sitting on the only two wooden stools in the thatched hut.
In front of them stood an eleven-year-old girl. Her cheeks were rosy and her face was dirty. The clothes on the girl’s body had already faded, and one of the big toes on the shoe on her foot was broken because of the shoe, so the big toe directly penetrated through the shoe.
The shoe was also covered with clay. It looked like the shoes that she had worn for many years were no longer suitable for her feet.
In this cold weather, the little girl only wore two tattered and dirty thin clothes, and her little body kept shaking.
There was a bad smell in the thatched cottage.
Liang Xiumin couldn’t help but cover her mouth and nose, breathing lightly.
But after all, she was staying in someone else’s house, so Liang Xiu Min was too embarrassed to say anything. She just kept blaming her father.
How was this a place for people to Live! This was simply a pigsty!
“Hello… Sisters…”after a long silence, the little girl finally greeted Yun Jian and Liang Xiu Min with some fear.
“Where are the adults in your house?”Liang Xiu Min covered her mouth and nose and asked the little girl.
Yun Jian blinked but didn’t say anything.
If Yun Jian was asked about her feelings here, the answer was very simple.
She had once walked at the peak of the world and became an existence that everyone at the top of society looked up to but couldn’t reach.
She had also fallen at the bottom of the valley. When she was in the dark soul organization, her status was even lower than a dog.
Therefore, to her, no matter what the situation was, she could accept it.
When Liang Xiu Min asked this question, the little girl fell silent.
Just when Yun Jian and Liang Xiu Min thought that the little girl would not answer, she suddenly sobbed:
“There’s only me, my little brother, and grandmother at home. Father is dead, and mother doesn’t want us anymore.”
As she said this, the little girl shrank back in fear.
Yun Jian and Liang Xiu Min only found out later that the little girl’s father had accidentally been smashed to death in order to earn money to move stones in the town.
Her mother had long run away with someone and left the mountain.
She only had a sick grandmother to take care of. Every day, the little girl not only had to bring her little brother to Wu town to attend school, but she also had to work in the fields whenever she was free. Otherwise, the family of three would starve to death.
After the little girl finished speaking, Yun Jian and Liang Xiumin were silent for two seconds.
“But Yingying is not afraid. Grandma said before that mother would definitely come back!”
The little girl’s name was Liu Ying. It was a beautiful name. It was said that before her mother ran away with someone, her father and her mother had asked someone from Wuzhen to help them get it.
The clear and pure look in Liu Ying’s eyes was something that other children did not have. This made Liang Xiumin’s heart pound.
Yun Jian also blinked.
“Then where… did your mother go?”Liang Xiumin could not believe that Liu Ying’s mother did not want her anymore. She asked again.
Liu Ying was silent for a few seconds when she heard this, then she shook her head. “I don’t know, but Dad said that mom will definitely come back. Mom Won’t abandon us…”
