Further away, the villagers' houses clustered together.
Su Qingyue continued to walk along the river bank. As she walked, the scabs on her face peeled off without touching them. She stopped when she reached a deserted area.
She took out the bronze mirror from her sleeve pocket.
The bronze mirror, which she bought in town, didn't have a dressing table in her room, so she used some scraps of cloth to make a small pocket and always hung it behind the kitchen door.
She looked in the mirror and tore off all the scabs from her face, both large and small.
After removing the scabs, she couldn't help but stare at the face in the mirror.
Her complexion was as fresh as a crescent moon, eyebrows naturally dark without drawing, and slightly furrowed to add an extra touch of delicacy. Her large, watery eyes were clear and bright, her nose was straight, and her lips without rouge were naturally red.
Her sunburned skin was unknowingly restored to an ivory-white hue.
