A Li was wondering, isn't she just a young lady? In this poor country, is it possible for her to be as delicate as the ladies in the city?
That’s too much!
She came to the backyard. There were many flowers and plants planted here, but they were not growing well and were dying.
There was no one in the backyard, there was only an attic. When Ah Li went in, he heard the sound of the piano, which was a few clumsy tunes with no skills.
Is this the sound of the eldest lady playing the piano? It's really not good.
She carried the food into the attic, where a screen was used to separate the room, and the eldest lady should be inside.
A Li put the food on the table and said, "Miss, I've brought the food. Please eat it."
"You're not a wet nurse, where is the wet nurse?" A gentle voice came from behind the screen.
The sound was so nice that A Li couldn't help but feel intoxicated.
"Mama Liu fell down and hurt her leg. She asked me to bring her food." A Li peeked behind the screen, thinking about how to take her out.
"This is the first time an outsider has come in. What's your name?" the eldest lady said very curiously.
"My name is A Li."
"Ali, that sounds great. Can you tell me about what's going on outside?"
A Li felt a little strange. The eldest lady was the daughter of a mine owner, but she didn't seem to know anything about it.
However, in order to get close to her, A Li used his tongue and told her many novel things.
The eldest lady listened with great interest. Although she was separated by a screen, she could still feel that she was really happy.
"Monster? You mean, there is a monster living in the back mountain? Really?" The eldest lady was very curious about the monster who helped people.
"I saw it with my own eyes. I was injured and he healed me. He also saved me. He is really powerful and omnipotent."
The eldest lady was fascinated: "Is it really possible to do anything?"
"What wish does the young lady have? Ah Li can tell it to him for you, and maybe he can help you realize it." The smart Ah Li knew how to lure this inexperienced young lady to follow her.
"I...my wish..." The eldest lady hesitated for a moment, and then said in despair, "I don't have any wishes."
"How could it be?" A Li was very disappointed, as he had clearly felt her heartbeat just now.
"Ali, thank you for saying so many words to me. Can you still come tomorrow?" the eldest lady asked expectantly.
"I'm afraid Mama Liu's injury won't heal for a while, but I will come again." A Li promised her.
When leaving the attic, A Li seemed to notice a figure passing by outside, but she didn't see anything clearly.
Who is it? No one is allowed in this backyard?
The next day, A Li came again and told the eldest lady many interesting things through the screen.
The eldest lady became more and more fascinated as she listened. She was full of curiosity about the monster that lived in the back mountain and could help people.
"Miss, why are you always behind the screen?" Ah Li was also surprised. He wanted to take a look behind the screen several times, but he was afraid of disturbing her.
"Because... I'm very ugly." The eldest lady said sadly, "Ali, can you come back tomorrow?"
"Okay." A Li agreed and came to talk to her for several days.
One day, A Li finally couldn't help but encourage her: "Miss, do you want to go out and have a look? That monster lives in the back mountain. Maybe he can help you become beautiful."
