Early the next morning, the father and daughter casually grabbed two mouthfuls of leftover cold rice from yesterday, and then drove the ox cart to the outer village.

Shanwa Village is two hours away from the village, and it takes four hours to go back and forth, so if you want to return before sunset, the father and daughter must leave early in the morning.

The villagers of Shanwa Village make a living by raising silkworms, and one of them, a silkworm farmer named Old Man Wu, is very famous in this area of Lu County, so Lin Youcai wanted to invite this expert to help.

Lin Meiyi stayed up late last night and sharpened the small wooden mallet all night, which would lazily lean on the carriage and squint her eyes to rest.

Lin Youcai saw his daughter's lazy appearance, shook his head with a smile, and slowed down the car.

However, the road to Shanwa Village is very difficult to walk, with potholes, Rao is Lin Youcai's driving skills are superb, and it is still inevitable that there will be bumps on the road.

Fortunately, his daughter is not that delicate flower, and she didn't say much along the way, and she can sleep like she is shaking.

Nearly two hours after setting off from home, the sun had hung in the originally gray sky, Lin Meiyi touched her stomach, looked at the beads of sweat on her father's forehead, pointed to the grove in front of her and proposed:

"Dad, it's not long before we arrive, let's rest under the tree in front of us for a while, eat something and then continue walking."

Otherwise, when you see the silkworm master, the other party will look at them and give a bad impression.

The point, of course, is that she's hungry.

Lin Youcai glanced at his daughter, saw her touching her stomach, guessed that she was hungry, and nodded, "Okay, then let's eat something first." ”

Lin Mei bowed her head.

The oxcart stopped under a tree with a crooked neck, Lin Youcai jumped off the oxcart to move his muscles, and Lin Meiyi turned out the oil cake prepared by her mother, held a piece in her mouth, held a piece in her hand, jumped out of the car, and handed it to her father.

Lin Youcai took two bites, suddenly urinated, frowned, hurriedly swallowed two bites of the unfinished oil cake, and explained to Lin Meiyi Don't go around, and plunged into the grove.

Lin Meiyi returned to the ox cart and sat on the wheel while eating while waiting for her father to return.

Unexpectedly, without waiting for someone to come back, she heard his frightened low drink, Lin Meiyi's eyes were cold, and she immediately jumped out of the car and rushed towards the place where the sound came.

"Daddy? Are you alright? Lin Meiyi asked loudly as she ran.

As soon as the words fell, I saw my father's figure, and seeing that he was not injured, I suddenly felt puzzled.

What to shout about!

Wait a minute...... What's in the grass in front of Daddy?

"Why are you here?" Lin Youcai asked embarrassedly.

Fortunately, he has solved his personal problems, otherwise wouldn't it be embarrassing?

Lin Meiyi didn't answer him, because her eyes had been attracted by the people squatting in the grass.

It was a girl who looked as big as her, dressed in shabby clothes, straw sandals on her feet, with messy hair and a dirty face, but she could still tell from the outline of her face that she was not bad-looking.

"Who is she?" Lin Meiyi looked at her father.

Lin Youcai shook his head, "I don't know, just now I saw such a person popping up as soon as I walked back, you said it's scary or not!" ”

Hearing this, Lin Meiyi finally knew where the exclamation she had just heard came from, it turned out that her father had scared such a little girl.

Of course, the other party was also frightened by their father and daughter, and at the moment they were huddled in the grass, trembling, and their eyes were full of horror.

Lin Meiyi glanced at her father's fierce appearance, and expressed deep sympathy for this little girl in her heart.

Lin Youcai was suddenly embarrassed by his daughter's look, and took the initiative to take a step back, and his eyes motioned for her to step forward and ask what was going on, why she was so scary to squat in the grass.

Lin Meiyi bowed her head, but before she stepped forward to ask, the sound of eager footsteps and noise had already sounded, from far and near, and soon she could see a group of people suddenly on the road.

The group of people led by a middle-aged man, not tall, and thin, but with a vicious face, holding a flat pole in his hand, led a group of people to quickly surround Lin Meiyi's ox cart and check it, as if he was looking for someone, but he didn't find anyone in the carriage, so he looked at the middle-aged man and shook his head.

"Xiangling! Xiangling! ”

The man stood in front of the ox cart and shouted, Lin Youcai and Lin Meiyi, who were in the woods, subconsciously looked at the girl who was squatting in front of them, and clearly saw that the girl's face instantly turned pale, tears came out of her eyes, and she quickly knelt down, kept shaking her head, and prayed with her eyes.

Lin Meiyi's eyes narrowed, she glanced at the girl deeply, didn't respond, turned around and walked towards the ox cart. Seeing this, Lin Youcai rushed forward in three or two steps, took the lead, and jumped out of the woods.

"What are you doing around my ox cart?!" Lin Youcai shouted.

The group thought that the person they were looking for had come out by themselves, but they were startled when they saw a strong man rushing out of the woods.

When he heard that the ox cart surrounded by himself and others was his, he subconsciously retreated, not wanting to make a feud.

Lin Meiyi walked out immediately, her age and body shape were similar to the girl in the grass, the middle-aged man was surprised when he saw it at first glance, but he quickly recognized that it was not his daughter, and his face turned cold again.

He didn't want to provoke Lin Youcai, so he said apologetically: "This big brother, my daughter is lost, and I happened to see your car parked on the side of the road again, thinking that it was someone who surrounded your car, it was all a misunderstanding, it was a misunderstanding!" ”

Lin Youcai didn't respond, and glanced at these people coldly, they were all middle-aged men, holding ropes, cloths, sticks, flat poles, etc., this didn't look like they came out to find their lost daughter.

"Yiyi, you go up and see if we have any missing things." Lin Youcai commanded.

Lin Meiyi nodded, quickly jumped into the ox cart, counted all her things, and shook her head, "Dad, it's no less, it's just that they made a mess." ”

"Messed up?" Lin Youcai's eyes widened, and the middle-aged man hurriedly apologized, saying with a pitiful face that he was also looking for a woman, and had no malice, and asked Lin Youcai if he had seen his daughter.

Xiangling hid in the grass and watched all this, and when she heard this question, her heart suddenly rose to her throat.

Fortunately, although the father and daughter did not face each other, they had good intentions, and did not expose her whereabouts, but scolded her unconscionable relatives and walked away.

"They're gone, you can come out." Lin Meiyi sat on the wheel and shouted into the woods.

After a while, I saw the girl walking out cautiously, as if she thought that their father and daughter were kind-hearted, and ran to the ox cart, kneeling and begging them to save her.

This is a stranger, and it is nothing to help with the help just now, but Lin Youcai does not dare to take her away.

Not to mention anything else, just look at her relatives, you know that this nest is not a good stubble, and his own family has a lot of troubles to death, where is there any leisure to care about these?
