Steward Ye drove forward, looking at the carriage across the road, blocking a mountain road tightly, although he could barely walk by people from the side, but if he wanted to cross the horse, it was a little difficult.

"One, two, three...... Go hard! ”

"One, two, three...... Go hard! The coachman in front pulled the reins of the horse, and the guards and guards pushed the cart vigorously, and the carriage swayed one after the other, but it could not get out of the soft dirt pit.

"How many, do you need help?" Steward Ye led the horse to the carriage, and saw that the curtain of the carriage was made of fine silk and bright flowers, so he knew that this was the frame of the lady's carriage, hesitated, and asked.

"This benevolent brother ......" A middle-aged man in his thirties saluted him after seeing Steward Ye, "I'm sorry to delay your journey, the road in this mountain is rugged, and the carriage has been walking for a long time, and it is stuck on the road and can't walk." ”

Steward Ye looked at the middle-aged man's apologetic look, waved his hand to show that he was not in the way, and then observed the carriage, which was stuck in the dirt pit on the side of the road, because the soil in the pit was soft, and the wheels could not bear the strength, so people could not push the horse.

"Try a plank to put off the wheels?" This steward Ye looked at the middle-aged man and their coachman and guards, obviously not people who often walk long distances, they were all tired and panting, but they only knew how to carry it stiffly, and couldn't help but suggest.

"Planks?" The middle-aged man's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he hurriedly sent someone to take a wooden board to pad the wheels, and after trying a few times, he really pulled the carriage out.

"Thank you, brother!" The middle-aged man breathed a deep sigh of relief, with some joy on his face, "If it weren't for Brother Ren's suggestion, I don't know how long it would take me on this road!" ”

"It's okay, the road is uneven." Steward Ye waved his hand, followed the middle-aged man and exchanged a few more words, knowing that they were from the capital, and they were the family members of the Zhao family of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, and knew that Xu was a person who could be befriended, so he exchanged names with the middle-aged man, and then said goodbye and left.

Steward Ye said goodbye and left, and the middle-aged man also climbed into the carriage and beckoned his convoy to continue on his way.

"How did you get this carriage?" There was a woman sitting in the carriage that had been trapped in the pit just now, her face was sallow, and her expression was a little sad, obviously because the carriage had been bumped back and forth just now, which made her person sitting in the carriage uncomfortable.

"It was a passing merchant who came up with the idea to pull the wagon out by putting a plank under the wheel." The middle-aged man looked at his wife's face like this, and his mouth was bitter, "Are you better?" In another three or five days, we will be able to enter the mountain, and the people who are exploring the way ahead have already found the Dongjia Village where the letter was sent, as long as we wait, we will be able to find Ya'er! ”

It turned out that the middle-aged man and his wife were none other than the second master and the second lady of the Zhao family's mansion in the five cities of the capital, that is, Hui Ya's biological father, and the two of them found this mountain for thousands of miles according to the address in the letter, but they didn't know that Hui Ya had set off to the capital one step ahead of them, and the hard work of this road was only in vain.

"Well, Ya'er must have suffered a lot for so long." Thinking of the white and tender lovely daughter Huiya, thinking that as long as she persists a little longer, she can see her daughter Huiya, and Mrs. Zhao can endure no matter how much hardship she has, "I can still bear it, let's hurry up!" ”

"Father, mother, there is a village about fifteen miles ahead, shall we rest there at night?" Zhao Huishan, Huiya's eldest brother who followed a team of nurses to explore the way, rode back on horseback, and said in front of his father's carriage.

"Okay, let's go there and rest!" Second Master Zhao saw that his wife was very tired, although he knew that she was eager to think about his daughter, he didn't dare to arrange the schedule too tightly.

When Huiya was lost, Second Lady Zhao had a serious illness, and although she didn't kill her, she almost exhausted her spirit. Even if there is a doctor along the way, with the body of Second Lady Zhao, if she suffers from illness again, I am afraid it will be bad.

"Good!" Zhao Huishan nodded and got off the horse, handed the horse to the little maid he carried, and jumped into his mother's car.

"Mother, my sister will be fine." Fifteen-year-old Zhao Huishan is already a half-sized man, because of his illness, he put his sister who has always loved him in danger, and Zhao Huishan felt guilty in his heart. Hearing that his father and mother said that his sister had news, Zhao Huishan volunteered to follow, wanting to do his part to find his sister.

"Well, it's a good ......" Second Lady Zhao looked in the direction of the carriage, her poor Ya'er was in this mountain, she must not fall, she must be taken home!

In this way, the carriage and horses of the Zhao family walked for another three days and came to Dongjia Village, the village where Huiya lived at the beginning.

It's just that Dongjia Village at this time is very different from before, and a big flood in the summer washed Dongjia Village up and down. If Huiya hadn't warned Dong Taoshu and Dong Youcheng in time, and the two of them rushed back to Dongjia Village overnight, it would not have been a loss of property, but an unknown number of lives.

Rao is Dongjia Village, there is no loss of life, but most of the houses have been destroyed, and now the whole village lives in a temporary thatched hut erected on the hillside, which looks extremely desolate.

"My Ya'er, is that where you live?" Second Mrs. Zhao looked at the low thatched shed, and only felt that the whole person was not good, and she beat her pampered daughter, but because of her temporary partiality to take care of her son, she suffered so much.

"Mother, don't worry, rest in the carriage for a while, I'll inquire." Zhao Huishan looked at her mother's emotional appearance, and hurriedly comforted her, "There is still Mama Zheng by my sister's side, she has experienced so many things in her old family, and she will definitely be able to take care of her sister." ”

"Well, yes, with Mama here, Ya'er must be fine." Second Mrs. Zhao nodded, Mama Zheng is her own nurse, she has taken herself from childhood to adulthood, her ability must be no problem, even in this poor and bad village, her own Ya'er will definitely be able to live very well.

It's just that the wish is beautiful, but the reality is extremely cruel, when the Zhao family searched the entire Dongjia Village but didn't find Huiya, just knowing that the Dong family came to a little girl and went to work in the tea workshop, and there was no news for a few months, the second Mrs. Zhao couldn't help but stumble.

And when Second Mrs. Zhao saw Mama Zheng's tombstone and the news she heard from the Lianjia Teahouse that her own Ya'er had followed the Lian's convoy into Beijing, the string that had been tight in Mrs. Zhao's heart suddenly broke.

As soon as the breath that had been looking for Hui Ya to support it came down, Second Mrs. Zhao's already weak body couldn't stand it, and she had a high fever that night. Everyone borrowed the Lianjia teahouse for more than half a month, and the illness of the second lady Zhao only improved, and the Zhao family was busy rushing to the capital, so they didn't mention it.
