"If we can't go this time, we can go next time!" Yingbao said, then nodded calmly to her father, Ye Tianyong, fearing he wouldn't understand, before turning around and falling fast asleep.
Ye Tianyong thought for five seconds, but he was still puzzled. She calmly nodded when he didn't bring his daughter Ye Ying tomorrow.
Something felt off, like he'd fallen into Yingbao's trap, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it. As he pondered this, Ye Tianyong's eyelids uncontrollably stuck together, and he fell asleep, snoring loudly and rhythmically.
I slept without any dreams.
The next morning, before dawn, before the sun had risen to shine on the earth, and before the surrounding scenery could be seen, Ye Tianyong's feet and legs were occasionally dripped with small dewdrops that appeared between three and four in the morning... but he seemed not to notice and did not care at all.
On the path leading to the county market, Ye Tianyong pushed his cart without looking to the side.
Why not take the main road instead of the side road?
Firstly, carts and horses occasionally pass along the path. It is arguably the most unique path, therefore, it is only used by the people of Huxing Village and has no connection with any other village.
Secondly, it's because a band of bandits used to appear on the main road. I heard that a young, carefree, and spoiled rich girl who was passing by ran away from home with a maid and a bodyguard, wanting to go to her grandmother's village in the countryside to live with her for a while.
Who would have thought that this would mean not being able to visit her maternal grandmother's house, and that she would pay a heavy price for her willful quarrel with her father, suffering one abuse after another at a young age, and dying with her eyes wide open in disbelief!
As the saying goes, it is the elderly who bury their children. When the mother and grandmother of the young lady received the news of their daughter and niece's tragic death, their hearts could not bear it and they died on the spot.
The daughter's father, the maternal grandfather, had to go through two unbearable pains at once: the tragic death of his daughter and niece, and the grief of losing his lifelong partner.
The daughter's father and grandfather could only suppress their anger and arrange the funerals of the three women closest to them. From then on, both men spent their lives seeking revenge…
A broad road, a moment of recklessness, a single act... how many people have walked into darkness, never to see the light of day again!
When Ye Tianyong arrived at the market, there were only two or three vendors around. He quickly went to one of them and set up shop there as well.
In a short while, the sun gradually rose, illuminating the pale blue sky as if bathed in countless golden rays and a touch of crimson jewels. At the same time, it swiftly showered its light upon my patched-up clothes.
"You are in me, and I am in you," how obvious!
The market instantly erupted in excitement. Ye Tianyong quickly threw down the hay, branches, and leaves covering the wild boar and roe deer from the cart, grabbed a kitchen knife, and stood in front of the cart, somewhat hesitantly shouting, "Pure natural wild boar meat..." But he stumbled over his words.
Ye Tianyong thought about Yingbao's instructions before leaving, and it seemed that she was right... He should have brought Yuanhang and Yingbao with him. What a mistake!
"Sigh! There's no use thinking about it anymore!" Ye Tianyong sighed, twisting his head as he tried to recall what his daughter Yingbao had told him to do before going to the market to sell wild boar, and what the silly roe deer had said. After thinking for a long time, he could only remember half of it:
