Ling Chengyan boiled most of a pot of water, mixed it with cold water to wash her face and feet... After a long day on the move, she should have been washing her hair and taking a bath, but as it was too late, she had to wait until the next day.
The girl remained silent but very diligent, quickly helping Ling Chengyan to pour water and change it; Ling Chengyan didn't refuse and conveniently asked her name, age, and family situation.
The girl said, "I'm called Xiaoyu, fifteen years old this year. My father passed away long ago, and this time I went begging with my mother, but she got sick halfway and died. Some people from the same village brought me here…"
Speaking about her companions, Xiaoyu hung her head down and fell silent.
Ling Chengyan didn't insist and handed Xiaoyu a toothbrush while washing.
