Ling Rong woke up in a simple room, and when he sat up with his arms propped up, Ling Rong suddenly realized something was wrong.
How did her limbs become thin and short, and her body was completely smaller, she looked like a child about five years old!
[System, what is going on?]Ling Rong hurriedly called the system.
[Everything in the memory world is explored by the host himself.]Unlike the system's jokes and cuteness in the past, this sentence is calm and formulaic. After saying this sentence, the system will no longer move. If it weren't for the sentence just now, it would really seem to have ceased to exist.
Ling Rong, who didn't know the situation, could only take one step at a time. Looking at the surrounding environment, they all looked exactly like the bed she was lying on now. There were six simple children's beds piled up in a small room, and then A few sets of tables, chairs and daily necessities of the same kind, and nothing else.
Just as Ling Rong was about to get out of bed, the door of the room was pushed open, and a middle-aged woman wearing an apron yelled impatiently: "Damn kid, why don't you hurry up and go to work! This is not a place for you to eat and live for free, if you are lazy again, let the dean kick you out and starve to death, it is useless at all!"
The woman cursed for a long time, and when Ling Rong made a move, she gradually stopped spitting, glared at her and went back to her own business.
She was a little stunned by such a sudden scolding, she was always held in the palm of someone's hand, Ling Rong had never been treated like this, at least with her face, no one was willing to scold her.
Tilting his head slightly, Ling Rong finally saw his own face through the reflection of the window glass. Unlike her fair and delicate and indistinguishable face, the child at this moment was completely ashamed, with a small face full of It was dirty, and even her arms seemed to be covered with a layer of dust, she didn't look like she grew up at all.
Is this child really her as a child? Or did she dress up as someone else like those worlds again
Ling Rong didn't know, and took a closer look. The child's facial features didn't seem to be bad. Then she wiped her face vigorously with her hands, and saw that there was indeed a layer of black dirt on her hands. Rong seemed to understand something.
I'm afraid that this child will not look too bad, but what kind of place is this? There is such a small child who knows how to hide his face and dress up every day to be ordered by others.
Walking out of the room, following the bright light Ling Rong walked to a place similar to a restaurant, and saw all the well-dressed children who could eat on the table, the boy was holding his favorite toy, the girl was wearing a beautiful little skirt, all ages They are all different, the older ones are about seven or eight years old, and the younger ones are about the same age as Ling Rong, only four or five years old.
And around them, there are some children who are completely opposite. Like Ling Rong, they wear the worst clothes, they are yellow and thin, but they are doing the heaviest work, and some are holding brooms that are taller than themselves. Sweeping the floor, some are like servants standing aside with their things for the children who are eating. The only thing in common is that their eyes are all dull, like a puppet.
A child found Ling Rong in the corner, and there was a burst of booing: "Look, that ugly monster is here, Xiao Hui, please stay away from us, and don't bring your dirty things to us."
After hearing this, Ling Rong raised his eyebrows slightly, Xiao Hui? What is this name? The title "ugly monster" was also unheard of by her, and she never thought that one day this term would be used on her.
Ling Rong looked around without saying a word, and finally found one thing in common among these children who could serve at the table, that is, they were good-looking, regardless of gender, as long as they could serve at the table, they all gave birth to a pleasing child. little face.
Combined with the current situation, Ling Rong suddenly had a not-so-good idea, but before she could think about it, the middle-aged woman who had yelled at her before came over again and forcefully stuffed a Dirty rag: "What are you doing here, you little brat, you don't go to work! Even if you look at these again, it won't be your turn!"
Immediately amidst the laughter of the children, Ling Rong took the rag and went to the place designated by the woman. Before leaving, she faintly heard some children's conversations.
"It's just that she looks so ugly, and she still wants to wear my princess dress. Fortunately, I don't live with her, otherwise the smell on her body will stink to death!" A little girl said exaggeratedly covering her face. He closed his nose, as if he could really ask about the so-called stink.
"That's right, Ugly still wants to live a good life, so no 'Mom and Dad' would be willing to take her home."
Ling Rong hooked the corners of her mouth indifferently, took the rag and went to where she was supposed to go, she just arrived, and she was unfamiliar with the place, so she didn't know where she came, so it's better to be careful.
Ling Rong thought about it and looked at her thin arms and legs now, and felt that she was a bit miserable. With this weak appearance, she couldn't do it now no matter how high her strength was.
Still be careful.
The middle-aged woman sent Ling Rong to a room, which was exactly the same as the one she stayed in from the beginning. It seemed to be a unified "poor student" dormitory. The so-called "poor student" was just as unattractive as she is now. A child with an appearance is defined by Ling Rong in this way.
Ling Rong just wiped it casually with a rag in the room, regardless of whether the dust was wiped or not, anyway, just pretend to be busy to deceive the woman who comes to check from time to time.
After working all morning, Ling Rong glanced at the clock on the wall. It was already ten o'clock at noon, which meant that she had been cleaning here for almost two hours.
Pounding his sore shoulders, Ling Rong was just about to rest for a while, when he suddenly saw a few luxury-looking cars drive in from outside the window, and then saw a man in a white robe come out, facing him from the car The guys who came down from the entrance, who looked like rich people, greeted them politely, and then welcomed them in respectfully.
Ling Rong could understand a little bit of lip language, and she read the words "Dean Li" from the mouth of a beer belly who looked like an upstart, and from the mouth of a man in white robe called "Dean Li", Here, what Ling Rong read out was "Boss Huang, please, everyone is ready."
After watching them go in with her own eyes, Ling Rong's eyes were rarely solemn. Now she finally knows what kind of environment she is in.
There are so many young children here, they live together and are watched uniformly, and the leading man is also called the dean, Ling Rong reasonably guessed that this is a place similar to an orphanage, and all the children staying here are orphans, It's here for various reasons.
But of course, this place is not just an orphanage, waiting for kind people to come and adopt these children.
All the children here are divided into two types—the good-looking ones and the unattractive ones. The good-looking children can enjoy all kinds of preferential treatment and are pampered to the extreme, while the unattractive children can only do the most inferior things , living in the worst room, no status at all.
Combined with the words of those children who naively thought that they would live a prosperous life and the scene they saw just now, Ling Rong finally came to the final conclusion.
What kind of orphanage is this? It is clearly using the banner of an orphanage to make some kind of shady deal in private, and the other party is still a child at such a young age!
Ling Rong suddenly understood why this body made itself look like this, and even willing to do the hardest work, I am afraid that he has long understood the darkness hidden under this brilliance, and this is the only way to do it Let yourself get away with it.
not easy.
Worried about any accident, Ling Rong didn't even participate in the lunch time that he should have, and hid in a small secret corner, no matter how much the woman cursed, she didn't come out, until she was sure that the group of rich people had left, Ling Rong came out from the corner .
Of course, a scolding was inevitable, and after Ling Rong even paid the price of not having dinner, she was called to the backyard to clean up the fallen leaves.
And just passing by the restaurant, Ling Rong obviously found that among the few beautiful children who were still able to eat in the restaurant in the morning, there were a few missing, and one of them was a little girl who had scolded her for being ugly.
Ling Rong was determined that he would avoid those rich people when they came, even if he was scolded and punished in the end, it was better than being sold for a good price and then falling into endless despair.
Holding a broom made of rough awn stalks and sweeping the large fallen leaves on the concrete floor, Ling Rong's small hands were worn out in many places, burning her sorely, Ling Rong looked around and found that there was a There was a faucet connected to the water pipe in the corner, so he simply put down the broom, intending to wash the wound on his hand to prevent it from getting inflamed.
However, accidents always happen inadvertently.
If Ling Rong knew that because the hose was not connected properly, the water sprayed from the faucet would splash all over her body, and even wash away a lot of dust that was deliberately smeared on her face. After drinking a lot of wine, Dean Li, who was drunk and ready to turn on the water, found her when he left, and she would never touch the faucet.
But it was too late now.
Some drunken men in white robes rubbed their eyes, and after making sure that they were not dazzled, they laughed and cursed: "Okay, you little bastard, it turns out that you have such a pretty little face but have been hiding it for so long, even I lied to it Yes, what a clever boy!"
The drunken man was also high in some aspects. Seeing Ling Rong, who was born exquisitely even at a young age, he felt a ball of fire surging under him, and the fallen leaves under his feet made a rattling sound towards Ling Rong. Let go.
This is even better-looking than the children he has sold over the years. This is the child he raised, so why should he humbly dedicate it to those rich people!
Drunkness also magnified his dissatisfaction and catharsis because of his status. At this moment, there was only one thought left in the man's mind. This most beautiful child would never be cheap to those rich people. Let him try something new first, and then pay a higher price. Sell it, with such a face, there is no need to worry about finding a good buyer.
The man was getting closer and closer to Ling Rong, and an uncontrollable shrill laugh came out of his throat.
"Good boy, how about playing a game with uncle? If you promise uncle, he will let you live a good life..."
