Chapter 1,033 The Life of Ordinary People
"bath."
When the mother issued this order, the father showed a matter-of-fact expression.
While Xiao Heitan still had a blank expression, the surrounding scenery shifted from the dim stone cave to the nearby river. As night fell, the cold wind blew the sparse withered grass on the suburban prairie and made waves. There was the same rustling sound, and it felt like a monster might jump out of it at any moment.
Xiao Heitan shivered, looked at the surrounding scenery, lowered his head, showing fear.
"Don't worry, dad will be watching over you."
The father took the peck ax just now and waved it vigorously around a few times. The whirring sound through the air made people feel a bit safe. Unfortunately, Xiao Heitan, who had been living at the foot of the mine, knew that , how fragile the power of ordinary people is compared to monsters. She once saw with her own eyes that in the same mining area, there was a strong man who was one of the strongest, and he was easily cut in two by the attacking Bagero.
However, her father's antics and silly and bold appearance still made her want to laugh. Just when the corners of her mouth were about to curl up, she thought of something again and her expression darkened.
All this happened under the cover of the long bangs on his forehead. His father and mother did not notice Xiao Heitan's expression, and they murmured secretly to the side.
"Look, here's the shampoo and body wash. I've already prepared them."
This is the time to show that the head of the family is careful and bold (?). My father proudly took out these things. Because we live in a poor and backward world, he can only take out these xx powder and other things, and the price It's not cheap, and ordinary civilians can't afford it, but in terms of effect, it's not bad, not much inferior to the ejaculation liquid in the original world.
"Do you usually carry these with you?"
The mother looked with disdain and muttered in a low voice, in this world's concept, shampoo powder is just that, body wash powder is just like a man spraying perfume, no matter how you look at it, you look a bit coquettish.
"Of course, these are all necessary." Father announced shamelessly.
"Why can't you smell it? Is it because you are too smelly and have neutralized the scent?"
The mother rolled her eyes, then raised her nose, smelled the father, and said.
"What scent?" The father was confused.
"The scent of body wash powder." My mother felt dizzy. How could this person be so stupid?
"Why do I have to have the scent of body wash powder? The scent of a man is enough. That's what Linya said. By the way, Silos and Aikolu also said that I smell like my father, but Sarah But it is said that the smell of big brother is the unique smell of big brother, and you can recognize it even with your eyes closed. Could it be that I am unexpectedly a very complicated person?!"
My father muttered in memory, and then showed a shocked look, as if he suddenly discovered that the Leaning Tower of Pisa was leaning.
"Bringing it but not using it, you really have..."
Mother looked at you with hopeless pity. As for the following words, she gave up because she really didn't know how to complain.
"These body wash powders are not for me." My father finally understood what my mother meant and shook his head.
"Then why...I know, pervert, shameless, beast!" The mother seemed to have figured something out, and her eyes became complicated.
"Although this is not the first time that I have been scolded by you for no reason, I still want to ask why I have to be said like this." The father continued to be confused.
"Isn't it? Anyway...it's just a beastly Duke anyway, I don't care."
Biting her lip, mother took a step forward, her eyes filled with crystal mist. This was not caused by illusion.
"I don't understand what you mean anymore. Is it wrong to prepare body wash powder for Kajiel?"
"Huh?" The mother was stunned.
"Kajiel often breaks in when taking a bath, and she always sleeps. Sometimes she sleeps for several days. It's impossible not to give her a good bath when she wakes up. She doesn't want others to wash her, so I prepared body wash powder just for this, is there anything wrong with that?"
The father was at a loss. Could it be that... in this era, even taking a bath with a girl who is only six or seven years old is already a step beyond her limits? No, at least the conservative Vilas didn't say that. She also told me to wash Kajier cleanly. I was very happy to prepare some more boiling water.
Speaking of which, when I mention this matter, I can't help but think of other things. I remember that Xilusi and Aikelu were relatively young, that is, not long after they became a member of the family, they also washed together several times. At that time, the two little babies were still immersed in the grief of the destruction of the village from time to time, and they couldn't bear to refuse. In addition, they were not too old at about ten years old... ahem, to be honest, it was quite embarrassing. Ten-year-old Xilu Si and Aikolu already have very beautiful girly curves.
Because of this, I... ahem, my father decided not to break the news to my mother.
There is one more thing that I can't say out loud because I'm blind, especially I can't tell Aleus. After I learned that Kajie kept pestering me to take a bath together, one day, Carlos was also naked. , holding a mountain of body wash powder and hair shampoo in his hands, shouting with tears that as a father, he must give his daughter a bath even once, and rushed in. At that time, I vomited the old blood. Fortunately, Kajie'er reacted quickly and punched her damn daughter to the other side of the camp.
At that time, I thought that I was going to enter some strange branch line. The world was about to end. By the way, Carlos bought all the body wash and hair shampoo in Rogge that day. I'm glad to say that, Carlos, it's okay. Been washing it for several years.
So she couldn't tell her mother about this, lest this sinister guy use it as a joke, or even record it in her little yellow book. Later generations would find out, and then it would be revealed that a certain savior from thousands of years ago turned out to be a gay. Weird rumors like that.
"No...it's nothing, cough cough, but I still think this flavor of body wash powder is better."
Mother coughed a few times, then pulled out her own reserves.
"No, no, no, this is what I use for my daughter. It must be this."
"Forget about your taste."
"You can doubt my personality, but you can't doubt my taste."
"My dear...you who said this have lost your personality and taste at the same time."
As a result, in the end, the mother was defeated by the father's daughter-control... ahem, due to the strong and determined personality charm.
Then, we began to see the horror of the accumulation of time. This hair... it really hasn't been washed for several years.
Seeing that the originally clean river had turned into an inky color, I was speechless and continued to pour shampoo powder on my hair and wash it.
Perhaps, this hip-length hair should be cut a little shorter and then washed.
The mother helped Xiao Heitan rinse the body, and the situation was the same as the father. The difference was that due to mysophobia, the fire of struggle in the mother's heart was ignited, and she washed even harder.
Although saying this is a bit sorry for Xiao Heitan, today, she polluted a small river alone.
After struggling for more than an hour, Xiao Heitan finally looked brand new.
The hair that was as dirty as black charcoal finally revealed its original color after the lead was washed away. In the night, silver-like threads danced and scattered as the brush passed by.
The silver hair is not a very dazzling silver, but more like mercury, with a dull silver tone.
If she were named Mercury Lamp for this reason, would she be cursed to death by people in another world? My father was extremely suspicious.
However, this long mercury hair still looks too dry, as dry as dry grass. Presumably, it is because of the damage to the hair caused by long-term malnutrition and mineral erosion. If only half a bucket of shampoo powder is used, I can regain my luster and smoothness, so I really need to take a closer look to see if this magical shampoo is a gift from a plane merchant.
The body has also been washed. Although there is still a faint smell of coal mine, it is much better than an hour ago when I could smell a subtle smell from a long distance away. The little black charcoal before , most of the people passing by her pinched their noses.
"That's enough. Come on, let me see what my baby girl has become."
After putting Xiao Heitan back into the prepared coarse cloth, I turned her around, pushed aside the fluffier bangs from her forehead, and saw a delicate and thin little girl's face.
Thin eyebrows, a small nose, and a stubbornly pursed mouth. The most prominent thing is the large outline of the eyes, which makes people look forward to how big the eyes will be when they are opened. At this time, they are still narrowed, only revealing a gap, from In this gap, the whole world is peering indifferently.
As long as she gets in a better mood and has a cheerful personality, one day her eyes will be fully opened and she will fully accept this new, beautiful world, or so I think.
She has good facial features and beautiful brows, but she is too thin, which causes her jaw bones to protrude. Coupled with her malnourished and yellow face, it affects the beauty of her entire face, which is not good-looking.
However, the temperament revealed from this face is deeply memorable.
It seems that there is no need to explain the matter of shampoo and body wash to Xiao Heitan. The class she is in generally does not have access to these things, and she does not know how expensive they are. The clothes are easy to explain, anyway. It's just a matter of a piece of coarse cloth. It seems that there are still a lot of things to prepare tomorrow. At least I have to buy some cloth and make some clothes that are not old and new for Xiao Heitan. I just don't know how "mother" is with her craftsmanship. I hope the trousers will not be turned into long skirts.
Under the night, on the way home, he must have washed himself cleanly. Xiao Heitan's steps seemed a little light, walking slightly faster in front. Behind him, his long dry mercury hair fluttered in the wind from time to time, as if he was with Xiao Heitan. The mood is the same.
Father and mother, a few meters behind, were muttering various things under their breath.
One of the issues that confused the two of them the most was that, according to the information, Xiao Heitan was not the child of her previous parents.
The insider was also vague and not very sure, so there was only a big question mark on the information. However, when Xiao Heitan revealed his long mercury hair, his father and mother instantly understood what was going on. The doubts of those in the know.
It is recorded in the data that Xiao Heitan’s parents are not people with mercury hair color, and their original hair color. Wanting to create this kind of mercury hair color that is also very distinctive in the Dark Continent, I personally think it is still difficult, of course. We do not rule out the possibility of genetic mutation. All in all, the rumor probably originated from Xiao Heitan's long mercury hair, which was too out of place compared to his parents.
However, my mother seems to have another opinion. This strange long mercury hair may not be Xiao Heitan's original hair color. It may have been eroded by the coal mines stuck on it over the years, and it may continue to grow again. Coupled with sadness, malnutrition and many other factors, it will become.
What kind of strange erosion, grief, malnutrition, etc. can lead to such long mercury hair? If possible, I really want to give it a try - my mother complained about this.
In short, let's put this matter aside for now. The most important thing now is to make Xiao Heitan happy and gradually dilute the negative feelings in her heart.
…
Part one of Xiao Heitan’s observation diary:
Today is the second day after I reunited with Xiao Heitan. After sleeping on the hard stone bed for a night, it was really uncomfortable. I really wanted to take out a blanket to cushion him. When I got up early in the morning, my father complained in his heart.
Afterwards, the family of three went out and used the "little money left" that the father had on hand to prepare some necessary daily necessities.
Along the way, no one knew Xiao Heitan. Everyone was attracted by this thin girl with strange long mercury hair. Of course, they were only attracted for a moment. No matter how strange it was, mercury hair could not be eaten. A piece of bread is more important.
With this idea in mind, the miners who were coming and going just glanced at it lightly, then turned away and immersed themselves in their work again. The existence of Xiao Heitan may completely disappear from everyone's sight in the near future. Of course, this is not a big deal. At most, it only makes these people say "The little guy finally couldn't stand it anymore and went away", or even worse, "That dirty and smelly coal mine has finally disappeared, and you don't have to worry about the stench anymore." vicious exclamation.
After arriving at the Demonic Fortress, the useless father and mother were confused - where should they buy daily necessities?
It’s not that they don’t know where the commercial street of the Demonic Fortress is. It’s just that the place they know is a place where adventurers and rich people go. It’s obviously not in line with their current status. The poor should also have a poor trading circle. Right.
Fortunately, Xiao Heitan seemed to have noticed the embarrassment of his parents who had disappeared for five years, and led them into the civilian trading area. But then, he had never dealt with such cheeky goods or second-hand goods. The parents once again behaved in an ugly manner. In the end, the experienced daughter bargained one by one and prepared some daily necessities at a more suitable price.
During this period, a wretched businessman pointed at Xiao Heitan and asked: Can this little guy be sold? He was beaten away by his angry father, causing a riot, and was chased by a group of villains armed with wooden and iron bars. He was killed in the streets and alleys. He ran away in confusion, and finally managed to get rid of him.
It seems that I can't come here again during this period of time - while steadily teaching my father not to fuck when encountering such a thing in the future, I smiled slightly and looked at my father's daughter, who looked like an angel. in the eyes...
