She decisively took out a copper coin from her bag and handed it to the man driving the ox cart.
Immediately, she held up the hem of her clothes with one hand and supported the ox cart with the other. With a little effort, she got on the ox cart.
"You really don't want to eat this?"
Brother Niu shook the cake in his hand again.
Tu Ling smiled lightly, "No, thank you."
The man whispered something and quickly packed up the pancakes.
Tu Ling held the bundle tightly in her arms and looked around.
Although it is a bullock cart, there is no strange smell.
"Brother Niu, your ox cart is quite clean, so clean..."
Brother Niu kept swishing his whip. Suddenly, he approached the voice behind him, leaned slightly sideways, and said loudly, "What did you say?"
Tu Ling suppressed the uneasiness in her heart and smiled lightly, "It's nothing, I said thank you."
"These are all trivial matters." Brother Niu bared his teeth as he drove the ox cart forward, while not forgetting to respond to Tu Ling's words, "Miss, is it okay for you to sit here?"
He paused, then continued, "On weekdays, I'm the only one driving the oxcart to the town, and sometimes fellow villagers will hitchhike. So, before each departure, I always clean the oxcart to make it more comfortable for everyone."

Soon, he closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

"Hey, girl, wake up."
Tu Ling was completely woken up by someone shaking her head.
She opened her eyes drowsily and rubbed them with her hand, "Brother Niu, are we there yet?"
What caught my eye was Brother Niu’s smiling face.
"We've been on the road for so long. My wife only gave me two pancakes when I left, and I ate them all." Brother Niu said a little embarrassedly, "I don't have the energy to drive the cattle anymore. There's an inn over there. I'd like to go there and eat something to fill my stomach. What do you think?"
Tu Ling turned sideways and looked up. There was indeed an inn not far away. The big words "Laiwang Inn" on the plaque were particularly eye-catching.
