"It's not that easy to die. Let's hurry up and leave. The bus that Tian Zhiyuan is on should be leaving soon... Someone will come to take care of her. Then she will illegally cross the border as a stowaway and arrive in Jinzhai. The life she described is waiting for her."

After Shen Yu finished speaking, he took Meng Tao's hand and left.

Meng Tao felt that this was fair. Meng Wenlan originally wanted to capture her and sell her to the overseas "Jinzhai". Now Shen Yu was just using his own method against him.

The jeep was speeding on the country road. Shen Yu knew that Meng Tao would not get carsick, and he tried his best to control the car more steadily. However, the road conditions were really bad, and the car body was bouncing violently. Meng Tao told him to drive with confidence and be careful, saying that she could withstand any bumps and would be fine.

Indeed, after being in this space for so long, Meng Tao now has a very good balance and her mild fear of heights has long been cured. If there were bungee jumping and cliff glass plank roads in this era, she would be happy to try them.

I am just a little worried about the car, afraid that it will break down halfway, which would be really worrying. There are either towering mountains or deep valleys with dense forests. Sometimes there is no village in front and no shop behind. There are also some strange animal calls coming from the mountains and forests, which is quite scary.

In such road conditions, Shen Yu had to concentrate on driving and could not hold his wife's hand with one hand. However, he did not forget to comfort his wife. It was rare for someone like him to tell jokes and stories. Although they were all cold jokes, Meng Tao laughed very happily. Shen Yu listened to her sweet and crisp laughter and could not help laughing himself. When you are with someone you like, your laugh point is so low.

Fortunately, the car was sturdy enough and did not break down halfway. At eight o'clock in the evening, they arrived at a county town called Jinhua County. Xiao Dong and Xiao Lu got Shen Yu an ID. With this, the two of them went directly to the county guesthouse to get a room for a night's rest before continuing their journey tomorrow morning.

Jinhua County also belongs to the Maoling area. Eighty kilometers ahead is another county, which is Tian Zhiyuan's destination.

According to the bus schedule, Tian Zhiyuan has now arrived at Maoling District City, but he has to stay in the city for one night and take the bus to the county tomorrow. He will also have to pass through Jinhua County. By then, Shen Yu and Meng Tao will have arrived there earlier.

This was Shen Yu taking a shortcut and getting ahead of Tian Zhiyuan.

They parked the car at the guesthouse and checked into two single rooms. The county guesthouse has a canteen that usually receives guests until nine o'clock in the evening. Shen Yu and Meng Tao ate some meat and fresh fruits on the way and were not hungry, but the enthusiastic waitress kept reminding them to hurry up and eat, otherwise the canteen would be closed soon and they would have nowhere to get food if they were hungry at night.

The two thanked the waiter and went to the cafeteria to buy two bowls of rice noodles in meat soup. They ate them while they were hot. It tasted great and they felt very comfortable after eating it.

After leaving the cafeteria, Shen Yu said, "Let's go back to the room, take a shower and have a good rest. When we get there tomorrow, we will have to get off the car and walk a distance. It's all wild mountains, canyons and streams. You can't wear a skirt anymore. You have to change into a long shirt and trousers."

"I know." Meng Tao answered while glancing at the two ethnic girls who passed by her. They were wearing fitted embroidered clothes and skirts, which made their figures look graceful. Fresh flowers were inserted in their shiny black hair, making them look charming and beautiful.

Shen Yu followed his wife's gaze and said, "Do you like it? Then let's go to the supply and marketing cooperative and have a look. There should be ethnic clothing for sale. I'll buy you a set, just right for tomorrow."

"Aren't we going to the wild mountains and streams tomorrow? I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to walk in this."

"Local girls wear this every day and still carry loads to do labor. You just walk along the road, no problem!"

Meng Tao: “…”

Boss, that’s not what you said just now. You told me not to wear skirts and to wear long shirts and long pants!

He changed his mind in the blink of an eye. He must have been fascinated by the two girls' beautiful figures and wanted to wear a tube skirt for him to see! Humph!

The two of them hurried over immediately. The two sales assistants inside were already cleaning and preparing to close the shop. After explaining their purpose, the female salesperson enthusiastically took them to the clothing counter and helped Meng Tao choose and wear a national dress. She also taught her how to tie her hair into a simple bun. Meng Tao's hair was not long enough, but it could still be tied up, and she also knew how to do it herself.

After trying on the tube skirt, Shen Yu looked at his wife who had changed. His expression didn't show anything, but his eyes revealed his inner thoughts.

Meng Tao glared at him and secretly cursed him as a pervert.

But when I looked at the pretty and graceful girl in the mirror, I liked her very much.

After trying on two sets, one with bright colors and one with plain and elegant style, both were very beautiful. Meng Tao thought she would just buy the plain and elegant one, but Shen Yu asked the saleswoman to pack them all up: "We want both, thank you!"

Meng Tao just let him do what he wanted. She had originally wanted to buy a set of men's clothes for Shen Yu. There was no reason why she changed while Shen Yu didn't. However, there was nothing suitable for him in the counter.

The saleswoman smiled and said that the comrade was too tall and the clothes had to be custom made, so in the end she had to give up.

After returning to the guesthouse, Meng Tao and Shen Yu went to the bathroom to take a shower. The conditions in the current county-level guesthouses are still very difficult. The rooms are old, the walls are yellow and peeling, there is no decoration, and there is no separate bathroom. Fortunately, the service attitude is good, and the beds and quilts look clean.

However, Meng Tao still took out her own sheets and quilt covers from the space and used them as a cushion. Shen Yu gave her a set. After use, they put them away and went back to rinse them in the river. It was very convenient.

There were iron buckets, washbasins, towels, slippers, etc. in the space. Shen Yu's were hers, so she just took them out and used them. Shen Yu guessed that his wife had a treasure like a Qiankun bag, so no matter what she took out, he would not be surprised, he would just take advantage of it.

After washing up, Shen Yu walked around Meng Tao's room and told her that he could hear everything next door and asked her to sleep peacefully.

After Shen Yu went back to his room, Meng Tao closed the door and lay down on the bed, but he did not fall asleep. Instead, he entered the sea of ​​clouds space.

I spent three days and two nights on the train, and had no chance to enter the space. It was time to pick the Chinese cabbage, tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, pumpkins, and bitter melons.

The chrysanthemums are growing too well, layer upon layer, but they are hanging down, probably because the branches are too dense and too heavy; the two beautiful peach blossoms are probably turned into monsters, the blooming petals fall and new buds pop up, but they don’t grow leaves, let alone bear fruit. You can only enjoy the flowers but not eat the fruits, what can you do?

There are seven or eight gourds on the shelf that have turned golden. If I don't cut them, new small gourds won't grow. If I cut them, I'll have to take the trouble to hang them one by one on the cliff. I really don't have time at the moment, so I'll just let them hang on the vines for now.

The dew on the pine needles is about to fill the basin again, so you should take some time to scoop it up and save it.

There was a small surprise. Several blackberry plants planted in the cracks of the rocks grew vigorously and branched out, and grew into several large clusters. The fruits were ripe, each as big as a thumb, bright red and translucent, mouth-watering, and sweet just by looking at them. Xiao Mingming was in for a treat.
