Su Mei took the little silver strip and heaved a sigh of relief.
Compared to the red rope, the little silver strip seemed to be more important. This was her instinct.
"Plum, thank you very much. I'll take my leave first, " Xia Ling said.
She saw Su Mei's reaction and didn't care.
She was already a little embarrassed to give something away and then ask for it back, even though it was her own... ...
*
After leaving Su Mei's house, Xia Ling went to the riverside at the village entrance.
This red rope was said to be tied around Su Mei's neck every day. She was a bit of a neat freak, so she had to wash it before wearing it.
There was a Saponin tree at the village entrance with luxuriant branches and leaves. Next to it was a small river that passed by the village. The women in the village liked to wash their clothes here. It could shade them from the Sun and the water was also clean.
Xia Ling went to the tree and picked up some green Saponin pods from the side.
After rubbing the Saponin, it could be used to wash things. The cleaning ability was not strong, but it was enough to wash a red rope.
The weather was hot, and the river water was warm. Xia Ling rubbed the red rope with the water. Even if it was wet, the weather was hot, so she could wear it on her wrist for a short time.
She put on the red rope, and the bright color contrasted with her fair wrist. It seemed that even the red rope was more expensive.
Su Ying was not good at other things, but she was beautiful. Even though she had never been to school, she called all the girls her age together. She wore coarse clothes and stood inside. At a glance, people would think that she was the most beautiful.
"Su Ying! " A gentle male voice suddenly came from above her head.
Xia Ling looked up.
In such hot weather, no one would have expected to look up, so no one would have thought that there was a person sitting on the thickest branch of this luxuriant soap-horned tree.
The young man was wearing a white shirt, and the pants were made by a loose tailor. The color was light, and the workmanship was somewhat rustic, but it could not stop the young man's good looks.
His lips were light, and his eyes were gentle. He called Su Ying and smiled gently, as if there was a gentle flower blooming in front of Xia Ling's eyes.
Sunshine, Angelic Young Man.
These two words appeared in Xia Ling's mind one after another.
She was lost in her thoughts when she saw him, but only regained her senses after he called her again.
"Long Time no see! " The young man jumped down from the tree with a smile.
His movements were swift. After he landed, Xia Ling saw that he was holding a thick book in his hand. It looked like some kind of mathematical, physical, and chemical information.
With long arms and long legs, the youth stood in front of Xia Ling. His body seemed to be mixed with the fragrance of sunlight and soap horns, just like the elves under the tree in August.
"long time no see. " Xia Ling found her voice. She raised her gaze and looked into Han Jin's eyes.
Han Jin's eyes were smiling and gentle. There was an indescribable sense of nobility about him. He did not seem like someone from the entire Su family village. Instead, he looked like some duke or prince who could inherit the throne in the future
"Yes, how have you been recently? Do you need my help with any difficulties? "
Han Jin asked very gently and sincerely.
Xia Ling confirmed that he was the devil king, and she also remembered the friendship between the original owner and Han Jin.
When Su Ying was eavesdropping outside the primary school, Han Jin was the one who helped her.
Han Jin was two years older than Su Ying, and Su Mei grew up with Han Jin. Later, she also replaced Han Jin to help Su Ying.
...
Xia Ling looked at him. "The days are still the same as before. How hard can it be? Anyway, I can't go to school, and my family isn't going to provide for me. I can't do anything about it. "
Han Jin was stunned. He didn't expect the girl to be so direct today.
He felt some sympathy for Su Ying. The girl was very beautiful, but she was famous for being withdrawn in the village.
