Song Shiwei quickly explained that they were going to look for someone and asked how to get there.
At this time, a young wife came over. She looked like the daughter-in-law of the owner of this guesthouse. Song Shiwei had seen her yesterday. They were cooking and eating in the kitchen on the first floor.
When he heard that they were looking for someone, he immediately laughed.
"It's just right. Old Man Wang will be delivering some food soon. He'll be coming with an ox cart. You can take his cart to Leliwo first. Once you get there, you'll be close to Kadazi Mountain. You'll probably have to walk from there. The roads there are all mountainous and difficult to walk on! And if it gets late, the mountains won't be safe either."
Xinxin couldn't help but ask, "Isn't there a bus here?"
The man shook his head after hearing this.
"Bus? No, look at this place, it's mountain after mountain. Let alone a bus, even a bicycle wouldn't be easy to use. Climbing the mountain roads, everyone relies on their legs! If you really have a lot of stuff, you can use an ox cart, a horse cart, a donkey cart, or something like that!"
Hearing her say this, Song Shiwei smiled and said, "Then could you please tell that old man Wang to take us to Leliwo?"
As she spoke, she took out a silk scarf she brought from Pengcheng from her bag and handed it to her.
"This is for you. We brought it from Pengcheng!"
When the young wife saw it, she was immediately overjoyed.
This scarf is so beautiful. It is soft to the touch, just like a cloud. Most importantly, the color is bright and beautiful. They have never seen it in their little place.
There is nowhere to buy it.
She was about to reach out to take it, but seemed to think of something and quickly retracted her hand.
"Thank you. This scarf must be very expensive, right? I, I don't want it!"
Song Shiwei smiled and took her hand, stuffing the scarf into her hand.
"This scarf is not expensive, and we have many more. This one is just a thank you for showing us the way!"
After hearing this, the young wife no longer refused. After all, the scarf was really beautiful and she really liked it.
She could even imagine herself being taken out and being the center of everyone's attention.
But her nature was simple, and although she accepted it, she was very grateful in her heart.
His face flushed with embarrassment. Seeing that they were probably in a hurry to leave, he quickly said, "Thank you! I, I'll go help you urge Old Man Wang now!"
Maybe giving the scarf as a gift really worked. They hadn't waited for two minutes when they saw the young wife leading an old man in his sixties, pulling a ox cart over.
There was even an old mattress on his ox cart.
Song Shiwei knew as soon as she saw it that this must have been specially prepared by the young wife to express her gratitude.
Otherwise, the ox cart carrying the vegetables would definitely not be very clean.
And with this old mattress lying on the ground, they would have less bumps on the road.
Originally, Xinxin couldn't understand why her mother wanted to give a scarf to a stranger.
After all, that scarf is not cheap. Now I think I can understand it a little bit.
Especially when Old Wang saw them, he smiled and said, "You must be relatives of the Yang family's daughter-in-law, right? Don't worry, I will definitely send you to your destination safely!"
Song Shiwei looked at the young wife, who was smiling and winking at her.
Song Shiwei was grateful. She didn't expect that she would say that they were her relatives. In this way, this old man Wang would not bully them because they were outsiders, and they would be safer on the road.
He helped Zhao Huili and Song Zhiyong get into the car first.
Only then did she go upstairs with Xinxin.
Before leaving, the young wife did not forget to give instructions to Old Man Wang.
"Once we get to Kaliwo, if it's too late, let them stay at your house. There's nowhere to stay in the mountains at night, and it's not safe!"
Old Man Wang still relied on their guesthouse to make money, so he smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely arrange it!"
The young wife was now determined.
With a shout from Old Man Wang, he swung the whip in his hand on the cow's butt.
The ox cart started to move with a "clack, clack" sound.
Although not too fast, it is still quite stable.
A series of "squeak! squeak!" sounds were left behind by the wheels.
This novel experience was something that not only Song Shiwei and Xinxin, but even Zhao Huili and Song Zhiyong hadn't experienced for a long time.
Although the mountain road is difficult to walk on and the dirt road has some gravel, the lush woods on both sides of the road and the pink, yellow, and purple unknown small flowers blooming in the fields add a lot of wildness to the journey.
Maybe Old Man Wang really thought they were relatives of the Yang family's daughter-in-law who worked in the guesthouse.
On the way, we got off the car and picked some wild fruits for them to taste.
Song Shiwei took a look and saw wild peaches, wild grapes, wild mountain plums, and even wild kiwis in the middle. They looked very similar to kiwis and tasted almost the same. The rest were some that she didn't recognize very well.
They should be some wild fruits unique to the local area.
I don’t know where Old Wang washed the wild peach, but it should be spring water, which washed off the hairs on the outside. When I took a bite, it was crispy and sweet!
Xinxin ate it very sweetly.
Zhao Huili and Song Zhiyong took one to try and then stopped eating. After all, they were old and their teeth were not in good condition, and the wild peach was quite hard.
Those wild grapes are sweeter than I imagined.
Although Old Man Wang only took special care of them because of the face of the Yang family's daughter-in-law who worked in the guesthouse.
But Song Shiwei still took note of this good thing.
By the time they arrived at Kaliwo, it was already dark.
Old Man Wang didn't let them leave and asked his wife to clean up two rooms.
Their family is quite prosperous. His two sons are married, and their two daughters-in-law have given birth to several children. There are also two daughters in the family. His daughter-in-law said that the eldest daughter just got engaged and will be getting married on October 1st!
The little girl is still young, only eleven or twelve years old.
Her eldest daughter is about the same age as Xinxin. When Song Shiwei asked, she found out that she is even one year younger than Xinxin.
I didn't expect children here to get married so early.
People in the mountains finish their meals early. When they arrived, Old Wang's family had just prepared dinner and were just waiting for him to come back and start eating!
When I saw that he brought back so many people, I heard him say that they were distant relatives of Yang's wife, and they came here to visit relatives.
He quickly asked his daughter-in-law to bring a few pairs of bowls and chopsticks.
It is rare to see outsiders dressed so well in the mountains. Not only did his son, daughter-in-law, and daughter stare at Song Shiwei and the others, but there were also many villagers gathered outside the courtyard wall.
Lying on the wall, with his head exposed, he looked at them.
Zhao Huili and Song Zhiyong felt a little uncomfortable being stared at.
This was the first time they had encountered this scene.
Instead, Xinxin started chatting with the eldest daughter in their family.
The little girl is a bit introverted and blushes easily when she speaks. On the contrary, the second daughter in their family, despite her young age, may have spoken a lot.
