Plane Convenience Store

"This is a convenience store, not a temple." Lu Lu said, "You look like an Indian, right?"

This is not Lu Lu's random guess, but that Indians have very distinctive looks.

Aisha's complexion was a bit dark, but she didn't look black, so he guessed it naturally.

"India? I don't know, my lord." Aisha still bowed her head and said, "I'm a woman, and I've never heard of this except when I go out to work with my family."

"You know, those men's things, we women can't listen to it, and we can't understand it."

Aisha answered clearly, but Lu Lu was still confused by her.

He sorted out his thoughts and realized where the problem was. The girl didn't know that she had come to the convenience store.

And based on the way the girl speaks, he can deduce that the girl is not a modern person.

So, shouldn't this be a girl from ancient India?

Maybe because she accepted her fate, Aisha no longer resisted, but acted obediently.

Lu Lu didn't understand how she came to be so obedient, but it must have something to do with her family.

In order to understand the situation and to let Aisha open her heart, Lu Lu broke down the situation of the convenience store and told her.

As a result, Ayesha regarded the convenience store as a place like 'paradise', so she obviously didn't understand.

After a lot of effort, Lu Lu let Aisha figure out where she was.

Just seeing Aisha's half-understanding eyes made Lu Lu feel a little terrified. Could it be that she hasn't understood yet?

If it was an adult, Lu Lu would never bother to explain it a second time.

But Aisha, considering that she was just a child and came from ancient times, she only knew how to do things blindly, and her intelligence might not be as high as modern children, so he patiently explained it several times, and finally let Aisha fully understand the situation.

Then, under the enlightenment of Lu Lu, Aisha began to tell her own experience...

……

In the early morning, unlike usual, Aisha did not do heavy farm work, but did relatively leisurely housework at home.

In addition, what flattered her even more was that her mother let her open her belly to eat this morning, and even her father didn't have any other opinions about it.

Did anything good happen at home?

Aisha couldn't help thinking this.

But even with the permission of her parents, this always docile and obedient girl dared not really eat wantonly.

After taking a bite, looking at her father's expression, and finally eating twice as much food as usual - two bowls of porridge with enough rice grains, Aisha put down the rice bowl and made sure that her father did not dislike her food as usual Too much, wasting food at home.

This made her feel the love of her parents for a long time.

Although it's just what she thinks.

"Ayesha, don't work at noon, I will cook today's meal."

Mother rarely showed her a kind expression: "I have something to tell you tonight."

The mother's attitude was very unusual, but judging by her attitude, Aisha thought it should be a good thing.

Therefore, Aisha waited till night, half expecting, half apprehensive, and finally waited for her mother to finish the housework, hammering her sore waist to let her go with her.

"Mother, what do you want from me?" she asked.

"Aisha, you are 11 years old, you are already a big girl." Tasha said: "Most of the girls at your age are already married, Aisha, you are also at this age, in two years time , you're going to be an old maid."

"Mother, why did you suddenly mention this?" Aisha lowered her head and said in a sheepish manner, "It's my father... Is my father planning to marry me into any family?"

It's no wonder Ayesha thinks too much, most of the little sisters around her who are familiar with her are already married.

Some little sisters are poor and cannot afford an expensive dowry, so their parents marry them off early so that they can spend less money. Therefore, the earliest sisters even got married at the age of 8.

However, these days, a 20-year-old man with an 8-year-old girl, and a 30-year-old man with a 12-year-old girl are acceptable marriages.

In fact, according to the usual momentum of her parents beating and scolding her, she thought they would marry her off early, at the age of 8, maybe earlier, and now her parents actually kept her until the age of 11, which surprised her enough.

You know, the bigger the girl, the more dowry she will have to pay when she gets married. She doesn't know how to repay the kindness of her parents, so she can only work more at ordinary times, so as not to let herself be the one who eats home for nothing.

After Aisha asked, her mother did not respond for a long time, which made her a little uneasy.

So, she tentatively asked: "Could it be that my father doesn't plan to give a dowry? Let me marry a 50-year-old old man?"

The mother's silent reaction convinced Aisha of this idea, and yes, the family was poor and had no money for her dowry.

A woman without a dowry will be sad at her husband's house in the future, and sometimes she will be beaten to death by a husband who is in a bad mood if she disagrees with her.

Aisha felt that she had eaten the family food for so many years, and it was not bad to have such a home.

The big deal is that after the husband who is about to go into the earth dies, he will also burn himself on fire and bury him as a martyr.

Aisha thought she had prepared for the worst, but soon, her mother's words drove her into a deeper hell.

"No, Aisha." There was sympathy and intolerance in her eyes, but she also had the determination to make a decision: "We have already decided that tomorrow morning we will send you to the temple as a saint to serve the gods and Brahmins." Adults."

At the end, she added: "This is your father's decision."

"What... what?" Aisha couldn't believe it.

Soon, the girl who would not complain about any heavy work cried, "Mother, why are you so cruel? Could it be that Aisha did something wrong?"

"I will do a lot of farm work in the future, I will do more farm work, and I will do more housework at home. Please, don't send Aisha to the temple and become a temple prostitute, okay?"

"You child, how do you say that you are a saint who serves God, how can you say that?"

"Oh... I don't want to be a temple prostitute... I don't want to be a temple prostitute..."

Aisha cried loudly, and her mouthful of temple prostitutes was extremely harsh, because Tasha knew that no matter how high-sounding the words were, the fact that the saint was a temple prostitute could not be covered up.

"Aisha, don't cry, this matter is not easy for mom either."

Aisha's crying also aroused Tasha's emotions. Seeing her daughter crying so sadly, this cruel woman couldn't help but feel a little sad: "If there is a way, I will definitely persuade your father, but the family You also know the situation. If you are forced to marry, your family will not be able to afford it. At that time, you will be married and live with your husband’s family, but what about us? Like those pariahs..."

Tasha repeated a few words, and said to her daughter in a pleading tone: "Aisha, think about it, do you have the heart for me, your father, and your brother to become like this?"

"But, there will always be... there will always be someone who is willing to marry me without a dowry, right?" Aisha said with a sob.

"Aisha, you can see that you are not young anymore! Even if you don't want a dowry, people still like little girls, and you are already an old girl!"

Tasha straightened her face and said seriously: "Aisha, don't blame mother for being cruel. After you arrive in the temple, you must serve the Brahmins with all your heart, don't speak and act recklessly, and be as casual as you are at home. At home... the family will remember you sacrificed."

"And your younger brother, when he grows up and marries a wife, life at home will be easier, and he will naturally appreciate you. And even if you go to the temple, the family will reserve a place for you. Even if your younger brother marries a wife, We'll make her respect you, too."

"You are a girl from the Sudra family. If you don't become a saint, you won't even have the chance to kiss the feet of the old men!"

"In case you are attracted by a Brahman and married as a wife, your child can also be a noble person, child, think about it!"

Her mother's reaction let Aisha know that being sent to be a temple prostitute was a certainty.

She collapsed on the ground, squatted down and hugged her legs and kept crying, but her mother left it alone after the initial comfort.

Probably, she thought her daughter would figure it out.

Temple prostitute, temple prostitute...

Aisha cried hoarsely and her eyes hurt, but she couldn't stop her tears.

She couldn't understand how her parents could be so cruel.

There are quite a few women who are "saints" in the temple, because poor people who can't get rid of the pot will choose to give "losing money" to the gods to reduce the burden on the family.

What's more, sending their daughter to the temple can exchange a sum of money, which is a lucrative business, so some parents who dislike their daughter will throw her into the temple as soon as they have a daughter, but Aisha never imagined that one day, Her parents would also throw her away.

"Wuuu... Mom and Dad, I don't want to be a temple prostitute, I don't want to..."

She cried and called her parents, but the parents were snoring in the room, and they were destined to ignore a girl's reaction.

Aisha cried so much that she almost fainted, and finally cried her tears dry, and she couldn't howl, so she gradually stopped, letting the cold wind dry her tears.

At this moment, Aisha was completely heartbroken.

She stumbled to the bucket and took a swig of water to cool her hoarse throat from crying.

After drinking the water, she sat blankly on the hard muddy ground without going to sleep, just sitting like this, as if this would relieve her pain.

"Wang Wang!"

In the distance came the sound of a dog barking.

Aisha was in a state of despair, so naturally she didn't have the time to pay attention to a dog.

But she didn't want to mess with the dog, but the dog stared at her.

Seeing the vicious dog running from afar with a fierce light in its eyes, Aisha was frightened at first, but then she remained in a state of indifference.

Ah... am I going to be eaten by wild dogs?

Even if you are a saint, you will die sooner or later, be eaten by wild dogs, and still be clean...

That's fine, let's do it...

When the wild dog barked and rushed towards her, she finally couldn't hold back, her eyes darkened and she lost consciousness.
