After checking in at the inn, Wang Xiuxiu gently closed the door, looked around to make sure everything was settled, and then walked to the bedside and gently put down the bundle in her hand.
The hands that untied the knots in the bundle moved gently, as if afraid of disturbing the little creature inside.
Once the bundle was untied, Songsong's little head immediately peeked out.
It was very well-behaved the whole way, and Wang Xiuxiu thought it was asleep.
Her little nose trembled slightly as she sniffed the unfamiliar air, and her dark, bright eyes looked around as if to confirm that it was safe.
"Songsong, we've escaped!" Wang Xiuxiu hugged Songsong, her voice choked with sobs, tears of joy streaming down her face.
Her tears fell uncontrollably, as if she wanted to release all the grievances and fears she had accumulated over the past few days.
These days, she and Songsong have relied on each other for survival, experiencing countless dangers and hardships, and now they can finally escape their misery.
Songsong, however, seemed unable to fully comprehend Wang Xiuxiu's joy at that moment, and simply stuck out her little tongue to lick the tears on her cheek.
Um!
Then it licked itself again and let out a few soft moans.
After venting for a long time, Wang Xiuxiu wiped away her tears, washed her face, and then finally had time to look at the things Songsong had brought back.
I left the Cheng residence in such a hurry that I didn't dare to open it on the way.
Now that it's open, Wang Xiuxiu is so happy that she kisses Songsong again and again.
Wang Xiuxiu hid her money, but never carried it with her to Songsong.
Originally, they were just hoping that Songsong would bring back the silver notes.
Unexpectedly, this little money-grubber Songsong, in such an emergency, not only brought silver notes, but also the golden peanuts and golden melon seeds she had saved up at the Cheng family's house over the past six months.
"Oh dear~ My good baby~ This money-grubbing personality is just like yours!"
Wang Xiuxiu couldn't stop smiling, her eyes full of doting affection.
She held Songsong tightly in her arms, gently stroking its fur, her heart filled with warmth.

After resting at the inn for two days, Wang Xiuxiu decided to buy a room to stay in.
Yongzhou's streets are clean and tidy, the air is fresh, and it is surrounded by mountains and water, giving people a sense of tranquility and peace.
Although it is not as prosperous and wealthy as Jinzhou and Quanzhou, it has a unique charm and is very suitable for living.
To be on the safe side, Wang Xiuxiu chose the dental clinic with the best reputation in the area.
After paying her, the broker was very enthusiastic, taking her around to see houses and carefully explaining the advantages and disadvantages of each one.
Wang Xiuxiu looked at rooms for three or four days before finally settling on a satisfactory one.
The house is located in Nanshu Lane, where scholars live. The environment is quiet and peaceful, and it is not far from the city. It is perfect for someone like her who loves peace and quiet but also craves the warmth of everyday life!
Moreover, this house has a very large backyard.
Wang Xiuxiu planned to transplant a few trees over for Songsong to play with once everything was settled.
Life in Yongzhou was peaceful and comfortable.
The money she has saved over the years is enough for her to live a comfortable life.
She doesn't have to worry about making a living, and when she has nothing to do, she goes for a stroll in the streets.
In the early morning, sunlight filters through the dappled leaves onto the stone path, making Yongzhou's mornings far more lively than at other times.
Pedestrians come and go, some leisurely enjoying their breakfast, others busy making a living.
Wearing a loose and comfortable cotton and linen outfit, Wang Xiuxiu strolled through the bustling city, a relaxed and carefree smile naturally spreading across her face.
The street stalls were already filled with all sorts of items. Wang Xiuxiu stopped to look and took a fancy to a hand-woven bracelet.
The stall owner was exceptionally enthusiastic, eloquently introducing the stall to her.
Wang Xiuxiu carefully examined the exquisite patterns on it, listening with great interest, and nodding in praise from time to time.
After buying her favorite bracelet, Wang Xiuxiu went to a local snack stall and ordered a steaming bowl of wonton noodles.
Even the simplest little table did not diminish her enjoyment of breakfast.
Although Wang Xiuxiu was full after eating a full bowl, she still couldn't resist eating another bowl of sesame porridge from the stall next door.
The thick, sweet porridge, mixed with fragrant roasted sesame seeds, is not greasy at all; it's sweet enough to warm your heart.
After having breakfast, Wang Xiuxiu slowly made her way home.
As I passed by the alley entrance, I saw an old man sunbathing in his doorway, surrounded by a group of children.
Each of them listened attentively to his story.
It was a common folk tale of the strange and supernatural, but it was very captivating. Wang Xiuxiu couldn't resist and stood there listening for a while.
Before she knew it, the sun had risen high in the sky, and the sun's rays had given Wang Xiuxiu a slight blush.
She suddenly slapped her forehead, remembering something she had completely forgotten!
Songsong is still at home waiting for me to bring it some treats!
When they got home, sure enough, the little squirrel was angry and had started turning its back to Wang Xiuxiu.
Wang Xiuxiu went over and coaxed the little squirrel repeatedly until it reluctantly forgave her.
Wang Xiuxiu went to the kitchen to roast melon seeds and peanuts, while Songsong, the little darling, stood on the shelf to supervise.
Not long after it was stir-fried, before it had even cooled down, it started squeaking and urging Wang Xiuxiu to peel its shell.
This little thing certainly knows how to order people around!
After finally managing to peel a small pile, Wang Xiuxiu picked up a few bags of peanuts and melon seeds, intending to share them with her neighbors.
Songsong raised its head and placed its little paws on Wang Xiuxiu's hand, its intention to stop her quite obvious.
"There's more, there's more! Mom bought a lot. I'll cook more for you after you finish eating. Let's share these with the neighbors first."
Although Songsong is possessive of his food, he is also reasonable and generously let Wang Xiuxiu go to deliver the gift.
When Wang Xiuxiu delivered the gifts, most of the neighbors gladly accepted them and gave her something in return.
Only one family, upon hearing the purpose of Wang Xiuxiu's visit, immediately shut their door.
Wang Xiuxiu: ……
When the neighbor lady saw this, she winked and beckoned Wang Xiuxiu over to talk.
"Don't bother with her, that's just how she is! Just because someone in her family is studying doesn't mean everyone wants to take advantage of her. Pshaw! She should take a good look at herself in the mirror!"
As he spoke, his voice grew louder and louder, as if he was deliberately speaking to someone.
After listening to the old woman's complaints, Wang Xiuxiu was somewhat displeased and subtly bid her farewell.
Upon arriving in the new place, Wang Xiuxiu dared to boldly unleash her social skills.
Within a few days, the neighbors all knew that a poor girl from a poor family had moved into Nanshu Lane.
The little girl also keeps a mischievous squirrel at home.
To the outside world, Wang Xiuxiu is portrayed as a pitiful girl whose family property was seized by her uncles and had no choice but to seek refuge elsewhere.
After spending time with them, Wang Xiuxiu found that most of the neighbors in Yudai Lane were kind and gentle.
When they heard about her tragic past and how she often encountered trouble, people would step forward to help her without Wang Xiuxiu even having to say a word.
Wang Xiuxiu, on the other hand, was willing to help these kind people as much as she could within her means, and began her peaceful and comfortable new life.
