As the sun sets, the orange and reddish sunlight seems to warm the babbling stream. The shadows of the trees on the side of the winding dirt road were also stretched out, and they were staggered on the ox carts walking on the road and the "youths" sitting on the wheels.

"Smack!" With a crisp whip sound, the whip in the hand of the "youth" Su Tanqing flexibly appeared a whip flower. She wasn't in a hurry, she was just bored because the bullock cart was too slow.

Especially since she used to be used to the speed of cars, but now she has become an ox cart that is slower than walking, so it's no wonder that she is not bored.

What's more, no matter how often she whips the flower, the leisurely buffalo in front of her will not pay attention to her - as long as the whip does not fall on it.

She can only entertain herself.

Seeing a stone tablet that fell on the side of the road and was used as a stepping stone, Su Tanqing looked at the sky helplessly, feeling that he was going to be entangled all the way home again.

Every time I went to see the third sister on the way back and forth, I had to struggle with it, and Su Tanqing didn't know when she had such a strong desire for knowledge.

Only the second half of the stele has been eroded by the years, and the words in the article that are not very clear Su Tanqing have guessed a rough idea, but there is a word there Su Tanqing can't confirm it.

"So are you 'Hua' or 'η•’'?" When Su Tanqing was talking to himself, he subconsciously used Mandarin, "Obviously, the front ones are so neat, is it really good to be like this?" ”

As soon as the words fell, a person suddenly appeared in the grass not far from the stone monument, "Childe! ”

"Who?!" Su Tanqing was taken aback by the person who suddenly appeared, and when he looked closely, the person who came was wearing a gray coarse cloth shirt with a headscarf on his head, but he could still see that it was a woman.

"Dare to ask this son, where is the boundary here?" The other party was a little anxious, but still used a more civil tone.

Su Tanqing listened to her words that were similar to Mandarin but not exactly the same, and her heart was full of doubts. I don't know if there are words similar to Mandarin in this world, or if she is also a traverser.

Since she came into this world, the people around her speak a local dialect similar to Cantonese, and she can understand Cantonese herself, so it is not so difficult to learn, but it also took about three years to fully understand and use it.

Su Tanqing was puzzled, but he still turned his head to look at the surrounding environment. "This is between Shicun and Hechong Village, which is relatively close to Shicun, and it will take half an hour to reach Shicun."

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Su Tanqing knew that she didn't know these two places by looking at her expression, but she didn't continue to speak. She wanted to continue to see if this was a time-traveler or a Mandarin-like language. If it's a traverser, why isn't it strange that you know Mandarin?

"So dare you ask ...... nearest town?"

"Town," Su Tanqing pointed to the road behind him with his whip, "You will walk from here for an hour to Hechong Village, and you will walk along the road from Hechong Village for another hour to Baishan Town." ”

"Of course, there is another way," Su Tanqing pointed to the road ahead with his whip, "From here to Shicun, it will take two hours to walk around Shicun to Baishan Town." ”

"Baishan Town? Or ......" she muttered to herself, her voice behind her became lower and lower, and Su Tanqing didn't know what she was talking about.

This reaction made Su Tanqing know that she knew about Baishan Town, and after saying so much, she still didn't say anything about Su Tanqing's Mandarin pronunciation, and it was more likely that there was another language similar to Mandarin pronunciation in this world.

Since there is a precedent of Cantonese, Su Tanqing naturally doesn't feel strange, but is slightly disappointed. Of course, it is not excluded that she is a traverser with excellent acting skills, but if that is the case, Su Tanqing will not know the ** who takes care of her.

Su Tanqing looked up at the sky, "Girl, it's going to be dark." You might as well find a nearby village to borrow for a night. Although there are no big insects in this area, there are still a lot of wild boars, and it is a little dangerous for you to be alone. Without waiting for her answer, he played a whip, and when he heard the whip, the buffalo walked slowly forward.

"Wait! Childe, which village do you go to? Concubine Yang, can you let the concubine take your ox cart with you? ”

Su Tanqing grabbed the buffalo, turned his head and smiled at Miss Yang: "It's not that I'm reluctant to give up this ox cart, but if you take my car to Shicun, they won't let you borrow it." I'm the only one in my house, and the room is there, but I guess you won't live in it. ”

"Why?" After asking, Miss Yang realized that she shouldn't ask, "I'm sorry, but the concubine's foot is twisted." After a pause, he added, "So the concubine is sitting here." ”

Su Tanqing smelled the smell of wanting to cover up from her supplement, and she had long realized that Miss Yang was wrong. Here are some ordinary people who have never learned to read, and when they are called Gongzi, they are already very abrupt, coupled with her literary and crepe dialogue, the self-title of concubine is even more obvious. Su Tanqing didn't want to pay attention to these things, so she didn't find these flaws.

Now she needs to worry about something else, "Twisted?" Su Tanqing frowned, looked at Miss Yang's feet, and then realized that she shouldn't look at the girl's feet and looked away.

Miss Yang had a glimmer of hope because of Su Tanqing's small action, and the result of her being alone at night could only be to feed wild beasts or freeze sick. Looking at Su Tanqing's movements, he knew that she was a person who knew etiquette, and couldn't help but look at her nervously.

Su Tanqing hesitated, "Although I don't dare to say that if you take my car, the people in the village will definitely not take you in, but there is a good chance that this is the case." What she didn't say was that Miss Yang didn't look like she had brought her belongings, and no one in the village would take her in.

It's not that they don't save when they die. Originally, they just didn't want to contact Su Tanqing, and if it was really life-threatening, they would naturally not stand idly by, but the current situation is not in their eyes. The people brought back by Su Tanqing should naturally live in Su Tanqing, as for the famous festival, since they took Su Tanqing's car to the village, then who knows how long they have been together? The name and festival are long gone, and they should live in Su Tanqing.

In Miss Yang's eyes, taking a car is very different from going to live in a man's house.

But since Su Tanqing met her, it was impossible to leave a girl with an injured leg in the wilderness. "Otherwise, I'll send you to my third sister's house, in Hechong Village."

"This ......" Miss Yang calculated, this would be a waste of two and a half hours for Su Tanqing, and it would be at least three hours before "he" returned to Shicun. Although "he" is a man, at that time, "he" is also alone, and it is also dangerous to return to Shicun in the middle of the night. Miss Yang is really embarrassed to trouble such a person who hasn't said a few words, but she has no other way, and she has no long things to repay.

Su Tanqing obviously saw her predicament a long time ago, and pulled the buffalo to turn around, and then smiled slightly: "Come to the car, the time is a little rushed, we have to hurry." ”

When Miss Yang heard "him" say about us, she thought that "he" would also stay at "his" third sister's house, and she was grateful and embarrassed, and limped slowly to the ox cart.

In fact, Su Tanqing just said it in passing, and did not plan to do so. She felt that she didn't know who was unlucky when she met a wild animal with her martial arts, and she could bring back a prey home when the time came.

And she didn't think it was lateβ€”in modern times, she didn't sleep at eleven or twelve o'clock at night. Although her usual routine here is not like this, she still doesn't feel too late in her heart.

Su Tanqing took care of the "great defense of men and women" between them, just waited patiently, and turned her eyes away from her wolf bΓ¨i, and only asked after the ox cart moved slightly: "Are you sitting firm?" ”

"Alright, thank you, Childe."

"Smack!" The buffalo then stepped along, and the cart began to grunt.

Su Tanqing didn't look back, but said in a volume that could be heard in the carriage: "My surname is Su, and my third brother-in-law's family name is Wang, just call her sister-in-law Wang." By the way, there is a blanket in the basket next to it," she said, looking at the sky, "and when the sun goes down and the dew will be heavy, you better put it on first." ”

Miss Yang looked at her dusty clothes and the brand-new blanket, and just as she wanted to refuse, she heard Su Tanqing's voice again. "It's my third sister who made it newly, and I haven't used it. After all, you're injured, so it's better not to catch a cold. ”

It's not that Su Tanqing suddenly cares about such a stranger who hasn't seen her face clearly, but that she was told so much by her three sisters before, and now that her identity has changed, she just said it casually. She realized it herself, slightly embarrassed, and the words added later were her remedy.

Miss Yang still hesitated, thinking that she had been running in the mountains for so long today, and she had gotten into the wet grass, and the possibility of getting sick from the cold was not small, and it would be even more troublesome for Su Tanqing at that time, so she had to take a blanket and drape it in embarrassment.

"Thank you." Miss Yang replied softly, and after the embarrassment was relieved for a while, she looked at the back of Su Tanqing's head and remembered how careful "he" was just now, thinking that she might really be able to hope that she would finally meet a good person after meeting so many wicked people.

After the sound of squirming, Su Tanqing heard Miss Yang's thanks again, and finally realized that she hadn't answered her last thank you just now, her face was hot, and she replied, "...... No need to be polite. ”

Su Tanqing knew that she was a person with a story, and she didn't want to ask, she just wanted to send her to the third sister's house to borrow it.

Miss Yang was also really tired, with the sound of the ox cart gurgling and the occasional low moo of the old cow, she leaned on the swaying cart and gradually fell asleep.

After arriving, Su Tanqing was still hesitating to wake her up, and the third sister who saw her at this time came over.

"Siwa, why did you come here again?"

Su Tanqing hurriedly said the matter, borrowing this kind of thing is very common in the village to happen to people who travel from south to north, although this time the borrowed person has become a woman, but the third sister is naturally not a problem.

"Then you can stay here with me, it's so late."

"No, I'll walk back, I'm walking much faster than the ox cart." Su Tanqing used light skills to go back more than twice as fast, but she wouldn't even say this to the third sister. As for the ox cart, just take it back when it passes by one day.

Su Tanqing has made up her mind since she was a child, and she doesn't listen to anyone who has decided, and it will be even more so after her parents go, although the third sister is worried in her heart, she doesn't speak again.

But she was just worried that Su Tanqing was tired, but she wasn't worried about what happened to her, she still remembered Su Tanqing coming back from hunting a tiger.
