Chapter 59 Atang
"Don't leave in a hurry, let me give you a bath!" After eating the rice balls, Su Ying boiled some hot water.
Su Ying felt uncomfortable looking at the little girl's wisps of hair and her black, bare body.
I don’t feel it now as I’m still young, but when I grow up, it will be bad for me to run around like this.
"Xiao Tao, can you lend me one of your dresses for my little sister?" Su Ying walked into the room and saw that her parents, brother and sister were not asleep.
"Okay! Sister, take it yourself!" Xiao Tao was no longer afraid since she saw the little girl coming in to eat the rice balls.
Some even envy her for having such majestic playmates as the spotted tiger and the black panther.
As for the wolves on the roof, Xiaotao completely ignored them because they were all very quiet at the moment.
Su Ying chose a red set, which was a little small and just right for a little girl.
"Xiaotao, thank you! I'll give you a new set next time!" Su Ying hugged her sister and kissed her.
"Sister, can I go out and see her?" Xiaotao looked eager.
It is said that babies love babies and old ladies love tofu pudding. The little girl is the same age as Xiaotao met when she came here, and she wanted to get to know her.
"Aren't you afraid of big tigers, black panthers, and wolves?" Su Ying asked.
"No, I'm not afraid!" Xiao Tao plucked up her courage.
"Let's go!" Su Ying came out holding her sister's hand.
The little girl turned her head and saw Su Ying coming out with a beautiful girl about her age. The two of them were behaving very intimately.
"Ah!" The little girl's smile froze and she felt a little jealous.
"This is my sister Xiaotao, she wants to meet you!" Su Ying saw the little girl's emotions and touched the little girl's head to comfort her.
"Hello! I'm Xiaotao. What's your name?" Xiaotao greeted him.
"Ah?" The little girl looked confused, not knowing how to answer Xiao Tao's words. She didn't have a name.
"My sister doesn't have a name!" Su Ying explained to Xiao Tao, "She can't speak. She must have been living with wild animals and has no parents."
"Ah?" Xiao Tao was very surprised, and looked at the little girl with sympathy and pity in her eyes.
"Come, let's wash our hair first!" Su Ying picked up the little girl.
He mixed the water with wood ash, laid the little girl on her back in his arms, supported the back of her head with one hand, and gently poured warm water on her hair with the other hand.
The little girl was gently hugged for the first time. A happy smile appeared on her face and she obediently let Su Ying take care of her.
Xiao Tao helped from the side, "Sister, has she never taken a bath?"
"Probably!" Su Ying said gently.
My hair was a bit long, and it took a while to soften it after soaking it in warm water.
After a while, the water in the wooden basin turned into black soup, and I had to change the water three times before I could wash it clean.
Wood ash water is not like modern shampoo, it does not have such strong cleaning power, but it is much smoother.
"Come, take a bath."
He added another basin of hot water and put the little girl in it.
"Splash!" The little girl was caught off guard and jumped out of the water in fright.
"Ouch!" Xiao Tao was caught off guard and got splashed with water.
"What's wrong? Is it too hot?" Su Ying reached out to test the water. After adding the water and stirring it with her hands, it was just the right temperature, neither too hot nor too cold.
"Are you not used to it?" Su Ying pulled the little girl.
The little girl nodded embarrassedly. She had never soaked in hot water before. She couldn't stand the heat and instinctively wanted to escape.
"Don't be afraid, let's take it slow."
Su Ying stood in the wooden tub holding the little girl. The little girl held Su Ying's hand tightly, trying hard to overcome her fear of a large basin of hot water.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid!" Su Ying coaxed softly. After the little girl's feet adapted to the water temperature, she used a handkerchief dipped in water to wet her body little by little, allowing her to adapt little by little.
After a while, the basin of water turned into black mud soup. This time, three large basins of hot water were used, and the little girl was finally washed out.
He wiped his face again and again with a wet towel and washed it several times before finally revealing his true appearance.
She has fair skin, a chubby little face, big eyes like black gemstones that are spotlessly clean, and soft hair that reaches her waist.
"Wow, it's so beautiful!" Xiaotao exclaimed.
The little girl smiled shyly and replied to Xiao Tao: "It looks good!"
"?" Xiao Tao was stunned. "You, can speak?"
The little girl nodded and shook her head.
"Sister, what does she mean?" Xiao Tao was puzzled.
"She means she can and can't! She should have learned it from us." Su Ying replied according to her own understanding, "Isn't it?"
"Yeah!" The little girl nodded happily.
Although she is only four years old, she has a strong ability to understand and learns to speak quickly when someone communicates with her.
"Here, Xiaotao's clothes are for you to wear. Do you like it?" Su Ying picked up the red dress and showed it to the little girl.
"Ah!" The little girl liked the color red very much. She held it up and gestured at herself, looking inquiringly, "Huh?"
"It looks good, it looks good!" Su Ying praised.
I put it on the little girl and combed her hair with a wooden comb. The little girl turned around and looked very conceited.
The spotted tiger and the black panther had been standing by, watching the little girl who had changed so much. They jumped over to sniff and lick the little girl, and the little girl hugged them and played with them.
"Sister! It's dirty again!" Xiao Tao looked at the little girl's body that was wet from licking, and felt sorry for her beautiful dress.
"It's okay, this is their way of expressing their love." Su Ying smiled and shook her head.
"Come, let me tie your hair up." Seeing that the hair was almost dry, Su Ying combed the little girl's hair.
Her hair was parted on both sides, tied into two buns and secured with a red hairband.
The leader wolf and the she-wolf watched quietly throughout the whole process, and the little girl became more and more beautiful.
"Is it beautiful?" The little girl ran to the wolf leader and asked in circles.
"Ao!" The wolf leader howled and licked the little girl affectionately.
"Awooo!" The howling of wolves could be heard on the roof of the Su family's house, in the surrounding woods and grass.
"Let's go back, it's getting late!" Su Ying moved the little girl's head.
"When I get some scissors later, I'll trim your nails and you can wear shoes like us."
The little girl's nails are very long and bent into hooks, which makes it easy for her to climb in the woods.
"Yeah!" The little girl nodded obediently and rubbed against Su Ying, "Sister!"
Su Ying was stunned and stared at the little girl. This child is so smart. She understood and learned it so quickly!
"Sister!" The little girl blinked her big eyes.
"So smart! Do you have a name? What should I call you?" Su Ying squatted down and looked at the little girl.
The little girl shook her head and looked at Su Ying intently.
"Then let me pick one for you, okay?" Su Ying asked for advice. She couldn't just keep feeding the baby.
The little girl nodded.
"Well, my name is Su Ying, my sister's name is Su Tao, and your name is Su Tang. From now on, I'll call you Atang, okay?"
"Atang?" the little girl murmured again.
"Sister, is Atang considered my sister?" Xiao Tao asked.
"Yes, you will be the elder sister from now on, and Atang is the youngest sister." Su Ying said with a smile.
"Hello, Atang, I'm your sister!" Xiaotao said to Atang.
"Sister! Hehehe!" Atang likes the name Atang very much, and also likes Su Ying and Xiaotao.
Atang jumped onto the black panther's back and waved to Su Ying and Xiao Tao, "Goodbye, sister!"
The black panther jumped a few times and disappeared in the moonlight.
The spotted tiger and the wolves also ran away, and the yard returned to silence, as if nothing had happened.
