According to the route they had inquired about, they would pass through Ancheng, Qucheng, Pucheng, Luocheng, Fucheng, Baicheng, and then Yuzhou City, and then the capital would be ahead.

It sounds far, and it is even farther to walk, especially since they lost their cattle and their money.

There is no luck at all. This one is even more difficult. If you are unlucky, you can't even find a place to stay.

They often go to different places and always meet people they don't know who just point fingers at them.

Yuan sat on Fu Dabai's shoulders while Fu Dabai stood on the cart, holding her legs and asked her:

"Have you seen him?"

Ah Yuan leaned his head to look, almost standing up, and then he supported Fu Dabai's head. Instead of answering, he frowned and asked him:

"Dad, if it's the right way, can there be a river? The kind that's wide."

The whole family was silent.

Fu Sanbai started cursing on the spot:

"Fuck, who are these people?"

They asked along the way, and everyone said they had to cross the mountain. Then they came to a fork in the road. They were unsure so they asked, and the man pointed confidently:

"That way, go forward over the hill."

Then once they left, where were the mountains?

Was it flooded by the river?

Li came over and wanted to pick up Yuan.

A Yuan held on to his father's head and refused to let go.

Lazy people like Fu Dabai don't like this kind of thing:

"Tsk! What's going on? Why aren't you coming down yet? Come down quickly, we still have to go."

Yuan held him tightly and refused to let go:

"I'm sad, I can't walk!"

Fu Dabai was furious: "When did you leave? Since you woke up in the morning, you guys have been staying in the car?"

Xingzi and Niu Wa, who were still in the car, turned their heads away guiltily.

Yuan Xingzi is six years old and Niu Wa is four years old.

These are the youngest in the family, and the other is an eight-year-old girl named Tuzi. These kids love to act like naughty girls.

Rabbit was better off. Although Liulang was only seven years old, he always felt guilty because he used to be with Fubao. And his biological father was like that, just causing trouble, so he was embarrassed to play tricks.

Yuan and Xingzi are smart kids. They don't have any worries. When they are tired, they just stay in the car. We got up early today and the kids didn't want to get off the car no matter what they said. It wasn't too heavy anyway, so they just stayed there.

But riding on a cart is one thing, and sitting on your father’s shoulders is another.

The lazy Fu Dabai was not at all willing to carry her.

Yuan sighed: "I have already gone a long way in my heart."

Fu Dabai asked her in disbelief:

"Are you walking with your heart? Are you walking with your heart?

Are you blackmailing me? Do you want to hear what you are saying? "

Yuan smiled sheepishly and said, "Yes, you found out!"

Fu Dabai pulled Li and started to complain:

“She didn’t even refute it, she blackmailed me!

Wife, look at your daughter, what's wrong with this kid?"

Li didn't want to read it. She was upset. Then she said perfunctorily, "Go away. I don't have time. I'll read it later."

Fu Dabai was injured and complained gloomily:

"No one loves me, is this still a kiss?"

Except for A Yuan, who occasionally responded to the conversation, no one paid any attention to him.

But Fu Dabai didn't want to chat with this blackmailer at all, and just said, "Come down, can you walk a few steps by yourself?"

A Yuan held onto his head and refused to let go: "I'm walking in my heart."

Fu Dabai was furious: What's the use of that!

This is what kissing is all about. Fu Dabai resigned himself to carrying her on his back.

The family went back and started walking again.

As a result of the delay, it was dark and they didn't reach the city. Just as they climbed over a mountain, they saw a yard in front of them, with a fence and a wine flag hanging at the door.

Inside is a two-story building.

There were people's ox carts with luggage and other things in the yard, and two young men were moving the luggage from the carts into the house.

It looks like accommodation is available.

The family walked in.

A worker saw this family and rushed over to meet them:

"Hey, are you guys here for a quick meal or to stay overnight?"

Yuan was familiar with this question, so he didn't need anyone to tell him. He stuck his head out from behind his father and asked him:

"How much is the woodshed for one night? Can it be cheaper?"

The guys in the yard all looked at them. They were amazed at the whole family, old and young, and they were thinking about it. They came up to the woodshed and started to lower the price before they even said it.

These days, unless you are fleeing, you would have to have some money in your pocket if you don't dare to go out together.

As the saying goes, a poor family has rich roads. There are almost no people like Yuan who are not rich but have the courage to go out.

They had some already, and now they are all in Qucheng.

Yuan is not afraid of being seen. What she saves is money. It is her life. If she has no money, what will she eat?

So she asked: "Does hot water cost money?"

The guy thought for a moment and looked at the whole family:

"One hundred coins for one night in the firewood room, and I boil the water myself?"

That’s good enough, Mrs. Yang nodded.

Yuan turned around and bowed to him and said:

"Thank you! You are such a good man! You will be rich!"

The guy thought to himself: If everyone is like you, I will never get rich.

But it was good words after all, and the guy led the way with a smile on his face:

"Okay, thanks for your good words. Please come in."

The family moved into the woodshed, and the servants found some straw for them to spread on the ground, which was at least warmer than lying directly on the ground.

Everything was packed up, and we took out the food and borrowed a fire from the kitchen. We cooked porridge and steamed buns, took out the pickles we had brought, and the family sat down to eat. We finished eating before it was completely dark.

But after walking for a whole day, everyone was tired and lay down somewhere to rest. Yuan, Xingzi and Niu Wa all looked very energetic.

I haven't walked much all day. Now that I'm full and have a good meal, I'm as energetic as ever. I toss and turn like a pancake.

Others are so angry watching you, I'm giving you so much free time, you're really not tired at all, come on, go out and have fun, call me if you need anything.

The master gave them a few instructions and sent them out.

A Yuan always goes to crowded places wherever he goes, but since he is spending the money for the woodshed, he doesn't feel comfortable going into the lobby and causing trouble.

Several children were wandering around in the yard, and even the boy who was carrying the luggage came to join in the fun, raising their little hands and gesticulating as if to help, but in fact they didn't even touch the edges of the bags, but that didn't cause any trouble either.

The guys were amused watching them. They were little adorable kids who were just joining in the fun. They were kind and fun, so they didn't chase them away.

Yuan was busy and worried:

"Oh, that bag is big, be careful not to hurt your waist.

Don’t forget that, there is another one on the ground. If it falls to the ground, please brush off the dirt for it.

Are you tired? Carrying so much. Just wait for me to help you!

If you don't need my help, just let me know when you need it. I'm very strong, so don't be polite."

Yuan just talks and doesn't do anything, but he's still very busy.

Xingzi also ran back and forth with a few guys.

Niu Wa looked at the two of them and blushed:

"Oh my God! You two are responsible for this fun. Oh, oh, oh!"

Niu Wa covered his face as he watched and said, "You two know each other, so just come closer."

Yuan and the others were worried for no reason, so Niu Wa was worried about the two of them. Seeing that his own sister Xingzi was being picked up and teased by others, he quickly chased after her:

"You can't hold it, put it down, it's mine, put it down!"

Yuan was also generous and said:

"It's okay, just hold me for a while, and don't forget to put me down.

This is only the case when you come. When you leave, I can’t even hold the child.”

A young guest at the lobby window had been watching for a long time and was so amused that he asked her:

"Hey, kid, come here, let me ask you, can we take the baby home?"

Yuan: "How can holding your own baby be the same as holding someone else's?

As the old saying goes, food always tastes better at other people's homes, and babies always taste better at other people's homes!"

The guest was still stunned:

"Is there such an old saying? Where did you get the second half of the sentence?"

Yuan waved his hand: "It's new. If you wait a few years and listen to it again, it will be old news."

Good fellow, she said the same old thing.

The more the guest looked at Yuan, the more amused he found him. He waved at Yuan and took out a plate:

"Come here, little girl. I have something delicious here. Do you want to eat?"

Yuan thought for a moment, then walked over to take a look. Seeing that it was a plate of roast chicken, he shook his head:

"It's fine if you treat me to a cheap meal, but forget about the meat, I won't be able to pay you back someday."

This is not in the village, so Yuan is still very restrained.

Sitting with the guest was an old man, who was happily taking a sip from his wine glass, tapping the plate with his chopsticks, and squinting at her:

"Okay, I won't treat you to anything expensive. I'll treat you to this plate of scallion and tofu. Please treat us when we meet again.

Zeng Gui, you give it to her."

Yuan looked at it curiously:

"I haven't seen this before. How much is it?"

The young guest named Zeng Gui told her with a smile:

"At the market, it's two cents for a big piece, how about three cents for a plate in the store? Do you dare to treat me?"

Yuan touched the small purse in his sleeve, counted his belongings in his mind, looked at the other person's expression, and took it without hesitation:

"Why are you afraid? My name is Yuan. I'm going to the capital. Come find me later. When we meet again, I'll treat you to two pieces of food!"

The young guest, the old man, and the waiter and the shopkeeper in the lobby all laughed and said:

"Mr. Zeng, your son took advantage of the girl, but you didn't say anything to him."

Mr. Zeng took another sip of his wine and said vaguely:

"When it comes to making friends, there's no point in talking about taking advantage or not. This little friend is really generous!"

Yuan thought about it and concluded that "little friend" probably means friend.

Yuan has always been generous to her friends and loves making friends. Now that someone is making friends with her and treating her to a meal, she will of course side with them:

"That's right! How can you say you're taking advantage of others when it comes to making friends?"

She said it seriously, and even Zeng Gui, who just wanted to tease the child, became more serious and clasped his fists to her and said:

"I am from Pucheng, the messenger of Shuangli, Zeng Gui."

Yuan blinked, picked up the green onion and tofu, and imitated him and said loudly:

"I'm from Changning County, Daxi Village, Fuyuanzi, you can call me Yuan!"

After saying this, he asked doubtfully:

"What is it, the Double Carp Messenger? Delivering fish and mail at the same time?"

Everyone in the lobby was happy.

The shopkeeper fiddled with the abacus and said, "I told you that your name is not good. People don't understand it. If you are treated as a fishmonger, even if you want big carp, when will you be able to make a name for yourself?"

Zeng Gui waved his hand: "Go away, why not? I'm famous now, and people will remember my name!"

He didn't even go through the door, but jumped out of the window, pulled out a bench from the window, and motioned for Yuan to sit down:

"Sit down, what fishmonger? I'll talk to you in detail. When I become famous in the future, you can mention me to others!"

A Yuan also obeyed. He sat down with the plate in his hands and listened to him attentively.

Watch him take out two fish-shaped wooden bamboo slips and tell her that they were passed down from generation to generation, and how their family had been messengers for many years and how reputable they were.

A Yuan told him about their village and what happened on the road, and the two of them chatted a lot.

Until Xingzi and Niu Wa were too sleepy to bear it anymore, Rabbit came to look for them, and then Yuan happily took the plate, said goodbye to him and left.

When he returned to the woodshed, he said, "I met a new friend..."

But everyone was obviously more interested in her green onion and tofu dish, and no one listened carefully.

Ah Yuan puffed up his cheeks unhappily and said while eating:

"Humph, you guys didn't listen. He said he would make a name for himself. When he does, don't come begging me for help!"

Everyone looked at her: OK, OK, OK, no need to ask, go to sleep! Dreams are full of everything! With our luck, how can we meet someone of status?

A Yuan touched his small purse, hid it more tightly, remembered to treat guests later, and fell asleep.
