The game starts with fleeing from famine, the boss of the end times is in trouble

"Thank you, Auntie."

"Oh, you are such a polite child. Sit still. I will start cutting your hair."

"I won't move, auntie." Xie Zirui said and sat there obediently without moving, which made Zhang very happy. The children of the Yun family were all naughty, and it was rare to see such a well-behaved child.

Zhang quickly cut Xie Zirui's tangled hair and trimmed it a little. Xie Zirui's hair became much shorter, but the hairstyle was also very nice. Xie Zirui also looked much more energetic.

Zhang often cuts hair for several men in the family, both young and old, and her skills have long been honed.

"Okay, Zirui. I have cut your hair. Now go find your second brother and ask him to help you take a bath." Zhang said as she patted the hair residue on Xie Zirui's body and neck.

"Second brother, Zirui has had his hair cut, please help him take a bath." Zhang called out to Yun Laoer in a low voice.

"Here we come, mother."

"Zirui, come on, second brother will take you to take a bath." Second Brother Yun led Xie Zirui towards the donkey cart.

Zhang covered the cut hair with soil so that it wouldn't fly everywhere when the wind blew.

After Xie Zirui took off his dirty clothes, Brother Yun took a clean towel and wiped him. Although Xie Zirui's face was black, the parts of his body covered by his clothes were very white.

By the time Brother Yun had wiped Xie Zirui's entire body, the water in the basin had turned black. Xie Zirui blushed in embarrassment.

"Thank you for helping me take a bath, brother."

"What's there to thank for? Wait, I'll go change the water." Brother Yun poured out the dirty water and replaced half of the basin with clean water. He only had to wash his hair, and Xie Zirui's hair wasn't long, so it should be enough. Brother Yun looked at the water in the tank and didn't want to add more water.

In recent days, the water level has been low, so everyone is using water sparingly. If Xie Zirui wasn't so dirty, Zhang wouldn't have been willing to use water like this.

"Zi Rui, lower your head and I will wash your hair for you."

"Got it, second brother." Xie Zirui lowered his head and asked second brother Yun to help him wash his hair. Soap powder for washing hair is sold in the grocery store in town. It is more convenient to use.

"Zi Rui, I'll help you wash your hair again later. Lift your head and I'll wipe your face."

Xie Zirui raised his face obediently, and Brother Yun wiped the towel on Xie Zirui's face. Oh, the towel is black. How long has it been since I washed my face? The towel has become black. Brother Yun secretly guessed.

Yun Erge folded the towel in half and wiped Xie Zirui's face again. This time the towel was not so black. Yun Erge folded the towel in half again and wiped it again. The towel was a little bit black.

"Zirui, just wipe your face again. Wait for me, I'll wash the towel." Second Brother Yun said as he looked up at Xie Zirui.

Suddenly, he took a step back in surprise. He pointed at Xie Zirui and stammered, "Xie Zirui, what's wrong with your face? Why isn't it black?"

Brother Yun looked at the blackened towel, then turned to look at Xie Zirui's white face. He was a little slow to react.

"Second brother, I wasn't originally black. It was my grandmother who told me that when fleeing famine, children with black faces were safer than children with white faces, so my face was smeared black by my grandmother." Xie Zirui explained embarrassedly.

"Yes, your grandma is right. When fleeing famine, babies who are either fat or fair-skinned and pretty like you are very popular with human traffickers." Second Brother Yun also said in agreement.

"Luckily your grandma blackened your face, otherwise you would be really unsafe."

"Brother, can we wash our hair first before we talk? I'm afraid someone will come in and it will be too embarrassing."

"Okay, wait a minute. I'll wash the towel." Second Brother Yun washed the towel, added half a basin of water, and helped Xie Zirui wash his hair and wipe his face.

Xie Zirui put on his second brother Yun’s childhood clothes.

Brother Yun looked at Xie Zirui wearing his clothes and thought that he looked better than himself. Because Xie Zirui was very white, his face, neck, hands, and exposed ankles and wrists were all white. Even if he was wearing cotton clothes, it didn't affect Xie Zirui's handsomeness at all.

It really proves the saying that a beautiful woman looks good even in a sack.

"Zi Rui, just leave it like this for now. We'll talk about it after my dad comes back."

"Go play with Yiyi. I'll wash your clothes and you can keep them as a souvenir."

"Thank you, second brother, for helping me take a bath and wash my clothes." Xie Zirui said gratefully.

"It's just a piece of cake. Go and have fun." After saying that, Brother Yun went to do the laundry.

"Aunt, I'm done taking a shower." Xie Zirui came to the dining table and said to Zhang who was busy putting away the bowls and chopsticks.

"So fast, it seems your second brother is quite skillful. Let your second brother help you wash your dirty clothes. Go and play with Yiyi. Wait for your uncle to come back and when everyone is together, we will have dinner." Zhang said without raising her head.

"Aunt, let me help you." Xie Zirui reached out and picked up the bowl in the basket and handed it to Zhang.

Zhang took the bowl and put it on the table. Suddenly, she felt something was wrong. How come the hand that handed over the bowl was whiter than the bowl? Whiter than the bowl, that's not right. Everyone in the family is tanned, and the newcomer Xie Zirui is also a little black kid.

Could it be that the other kid went to the wrong place? Zhang wondered.

That's not right, it was Zirui who spoke just now. When Zhang thought of this, she straightened up and looked up at Xie Zirui. As a result, she was dumbfounded.

The child standing in front of me has a snow-white face and delicate eyebrows and eyes. If her hair was longer, people would probably believe that she is a beautiful girl.

The child was wearing Yun Lao Er's clothes. Zhang asked incredulously, "Are you Xie Zirui?"

"Aunt, yes I am. I was just talking to you. Second Brother Yun helped me take a bath. He is helping me wash my clothes now, and then he asked me to play with Yiyi."

After listening to the child, Zhang finally believed that the extremely beautiful child in front of her was Xie Zirui. Unexpectedly, after taking a bath, the child changed drastically.

"Zirui, I saw you were very dark before. Why are you so white now?" Zhang asked curiously.

"Aunt, I'm sorry. It was my grandma who said that it's unsafe for children to be too white. That's why she slandered me." Xie Zirui explained in a low voice embarrassedly.

"Oh, so that's how it is. She's still so beautiful. Look at Yiyi, she's so tanned now. I don't know when she'll be able to have white skin."

"Aunt, when the weather is not too hot, you can go to the pharmacy to buy ointment for sister Yiyi to apply. That way, she will become whiter faster."

"Yes, yes, you see, I had forgotten all about this. I still have the recipe for the ointment you prescribed before." Zhang patted her head in frustration.
