Poverty Alleviation Princess

After checking the things, he locked the gate. A Guang took a last look at the small courtyard where he had lived for ten years, and then boarded the carriage and left.

Just leave for a while.

She told herself so.

One day, the improvement work of the camera is completed, Sakurako has also learned from school, and can support herself.She will come back here.

Obviously going to an unknown place soon, he should be full of nervousness, but Ah Guang still fell asleep unknowingly.In a trance, I also had a dream.I dreamed about a long time ago, when she was only six or seven years old, or when she was younger.It was a noisy summer, and she hadn't been to Master's small courtyard yet.At that time, she was lying on her brother's back, watching him catch cicadas with his friends.The older sister was beside her, and unlike them who were playing around, the older sister who was seen as a half-adult was fishing in the river next to her and was preparing to take it home to eat.

They fished and picked mushrooms on the side of the stream, and then walked home through a very short wooden bridge, only about a dozen steps long.It is a very old bridge, and it will make a creaking sound when walking on it. The place near the stream at the end of the bridge is still covered with unknown plants, and flowers the size of a thumb will bloom every summer.

My sister has very skillful hands and can always weave these flowers into her hair as hair accessories when combing her hair.Then when she went out to play, she would get envious looks from all her friends.

In fact, not only the elder sister, except her, everyone in her family has a pair of skillful hands.

Dad can use wood and stone to make various things, and mother can also fill in various beautiful patterns on the damaged parts of the clothes, so that the clothes look beautiful at any time.

Even my elder brother can make his own slingshot to shoot birds and come back to eat.

Although the life at that time was not rich, but in retrospect, it was all happy memories.

Until one day, her hometown was swept away by war.

Many people I knew died there, and my parents never came back after hiding them.

After that, she started wandering with her brothers and sisters.

Then my brother fell ill and couldn't survive, and my sister also collapsed due to exhaustion and weakness.It seemed that it was just a moment, and it seemed that after a long time, she became the loneliest person in the world.

And what made her most desperate was not that she had no one to rely on anymore and could only survive by herself.But at some point, she began to gradually forget what her family looked like.

She remembered that her elder brothers and sisters all had big eyes and looked good when they smiled. She remembered that her mother was very gentle and her father had broad shoulders.But their looks and names, but I don't know when I can't remember them clearly anymore.

What happened in the memory is still there, but the faces of those people are all blurred.This is what she fears the most.Probably because she was too frightened and panicked, she lived in a daze for quite a long time—until she later met her master who was in the same sickness as her, and was taken back to the house with a yard by him.

Although Master's home (that house) is still there, Master, like himself, lost his family because of the war a long time ago.This was a common story in that era.Almost everyone who lived in that era had the experience of losing their loved ones due to war.

She and Master are just the two most insignificant of them.Their families were just one of many who lost their lives.

Therefore, Master took her back not out of sympathy, but more purely - if his daughter was still alive, she would probably be as old as herself at that time.

It happened that the master needed a helper, so he chose himself who was about the same age as his daughter, and maybe also somewhat similar in appearance.

As for why such an uncertain word as 'possible' is used, it is also because Master himself can't remember clearly.

Just like himself, because too much time has passed, he can't remember what his daughter's wife looks like.Although the outline can still appear in my mind when I close my eyes, it is only an outline.

It is impossible to really talk about it or draw it.

At that time, if anyone wanted to keep someone's appearance, there was only a portrait.But this is a privilege that only nobles and rich gentlemen can enjoy.

Although Ah Guang's master is a maintenance master and has some savings on hand, he is not someone who can hire a painter to paint portraits of his wife and daughter.So he wanted to invent a machine that could record people's appearance.

I hope that when people recall someone in the future, they can still see the other person's appearance and leave traces of the other person's existence, instead of being like me now, who can only recall a disappearing shadow in vain.

At least at least, remember the face of the person you once loved.

This coincided with Aguang's wish.

So after being adopted by the master, the two devoted themselves to this invention.Then spring and autumn came, and after more than a dozen winters and summers and countless failures, they were finally able to successfully make a camera that can leave images.

It's a pity that Master didn't see the camera take a clear picture until he left.

Ah Guang used to dream of Master occasionally, and she never forgot the longing and regretful look in Master's dying eyes.Every time I dream of that look, it seems to be urging her to hurry up and make the camera faster.Ah Guang has been urging himself to seize every opportunity to find a way to optimize it, so that the captured image will become clearer.

Including such a straightforward agreement to go to Huiye City, the same is true.As long as she and Master's wish can be fulfilled, as long as the camera can show people's true appearance, then she

There was a sudden bump under his body, and Ah Guang woke up in a daze.What I heard in my ears was no longer the familiar hawking on the street, but the grunting sound of wheels rolling, and the sound of Miss Yuan talking to Yingzi—it sounded like she was telling Yingzi to read?

Aang struggled to open his eyes.

At this time, she didn't stay in the studio that carried most of her life.At this time, I was sitting in a carriage, and the carriage was walking on a smooth road, about to go to the legendary city—Huiye City.

"Can I really make a good camera?" Does it really make sense for her to do so?

Having such a dream at this time, she suddenly remembered the messages that had spread throughout the city.

People who knew what their masters and apprentices were doing did not accept the camera, but felt that such a machine that can leave people's images is something of the devil, a curse, and a ghost box that locks people's souls into it.

When it comes to Huiye City, will people accept it?

What if she still can't finish the camera when she gets there and no one takes it?

"Sure."

The girl's voice suddenly reached his ears.She turned her head, and saw that Miss Yuan who was holding a notebook to teach Yingzi to read was looking at her with encouraging eyes.Looking at such a pair of eyes, Ah Guang suddenly felt at ease.

And A Yuan continued to say: "This is a great invention. It is a great invention that can record images and leave the moments that people want to keep. There must be many people helping you to complete it together."

"I swear."

'I swear', although it was just three short words, it caused Ah Guang's heart, which had been vacant, to fall back to its original position.She didn't know what she would encounter next in that unknown city, but at this moment, this man's words of affirmation made her feel extremely at ease and full of courage.

It seems that no matter what challenges and difficulties you face, you have enough courage to overcome them.

The closer it is to Hui Ye City, the wider and smoother the road will be, and the busier it will be.

Wearing different styles of clothes, people with different hair colors and skin colors come and go on the road.

Many convoys also employ ninjas or samurai as escorts, but no matter how large the convoy is, they don't mean to bully others or forcefully jump into the queue.

Everyone obeyed the newly formulated 'traffic rules'. No one suddenly jumped in line, and no one suddenly stopped or took a rest while walking.

At intervals on both sides of the road, there will be a 'rest area' for people to rest. The convoys who want to rest will pull the team here to rest, so that the road will not be blocked, and they will continue on the road without rushing to repair.

If there is a problem with the car on the road, you can also park the car on the outermost roadside, and then ask the patrolling people for help when passing by, most of the problems can be solved.

And every other section of the 'rest area', there are water and food to buy.And there are many types to choose from. The most important thing is that hot food is provided here.

After a long journey, who doesn't want to drink hot water and eat something hot comfortably?

In addition, there are signs at every other section of the road, telling you how far you are from the next rest area.When you reach the fork where the road forks, there will also be a sign indicating where the forked road leads to, so as to avoid the possibility of people going the wrong way to the greatest extent.

Probably because Ah Guang looked around by the window and looked too much like a country bumpkin who had never been here and never seen the world. An aunt in the motorcade next to her warmly greeted her: "Go to Huiye City and find a guide to buy a detailed copy. The map will not only mark where each road leads to, but also write what the specialties of each place are."

"Is that so?"

Isn't this just like their introduction to Land of Punishment?

But there is only one introduction of the Land of Punishment, and according to this aunt, all the nearby cities are marked?

"Yeah, like there."

The aunt pointed to the nearest fork in the road.

"That leads to Maple Leaf Village. In autumn, the mountains next to the village are full of red leaves, which is very beautiful."

The aunt spoke in detail.

"But Hongye Village only has red leaves to see. If you want to play, you should go to the newly built hot spring village next to Huiye City. Not only the scenery is beautiful there, but there are also hot springs to soak in. I heard that there are a lot of them in it. A medicinal spring with good medicinal materials, if you are not feeling well, it is best to go to the bubble."

"There is also the city over there, where the wood is very good, and many people come here specially to buy. If you buy furniture, you can also look at the origin of the wood used in the furniture. The best place around here is that city. It's gone."

"And when it comes to special food, it must be..."

It wasn’t until the two convoys separated halfway due to different destinations that the aunt stopped, probably because she felt that she had hit it off, and she boldly said that she was doing business in Hucheng, and when she was free, she could go to Hucheng to visit her. Son, she cooks fish for her to eat.

——This kind of enthusiasm is something Ah Guang has never experienced in the past.

Although the city she lives in has prospered because of the "Land of Punishment", the people are not so warm and generous.Most people usually only focus on their own one-acre three-inch land, try not to trouble others, and don't want others to trouble themselves.Even if you take care of others, you won't be so straightforward and enthusiastic.

If something happens to happen to someone next to you—such as what happened to your own house before—then you will simply close the door and pretend that you are not at home.

Ah Guang didn't think there was anything wrong with this, but seeing such an enthusiastic aunt, he would inevitably find it novel.

In other words, everything encountered along the way made Ah Guang, an outsider who came here for the first time, feel novel, but at the same time he was a little nervous.

To be honest, she doesn't have much savings on hand.Originally, I thought I could buy a small house and some basic furniture with the 'compensation' given by the Yamamoto-gumi brought back by Ms. Yuan, but now it seems that the compensation that I think is 'too much' is in the A city like Huiye City is probably not enough to see.

If it's just her, it's okay, she can just find a private room.But she has so many tools to eat, and Yingzi, she can't let them squeeze into a small private room with her - in that case, it would be difficult to even turn around.

There is also the matter of Sakurako going to school... Thinking about it this way, it seems that everything needs money.

Thinking that it would be better to talk about the difficulties first than to talk about the difficulties when the situation is imminent, she worriedly explained her worries to A Yuan.

Ah Guang originally thought that after speaking out, Ms. Yuan could help her arrange a small house or borrow some money from her to let her rent a small house to live in, but she didn't want the other party to wave her hand so that she didn't have to worry about it, and just let her live in her house directly.

Facing A Guang who was still a little uneasy, A Yuan smiled and comforted him: "I still have some family property, so it's okay to prepare a few rooms for you where no one will be disturbed."

Even though he said so,... Ah Guang was still a little tangled.

——Is it really all right?
