"Girl, why don't you sit and rest in the living room?" The old woman was obviously taken aback when she saw that it was Tao Yao.

"Yes, girl, go back and rest, you'll have food in a while. The old man said as he looked at the old woman with disgust.

These actions of theirs made Tao Yao's worries deeper, and they also confirmed the speculation in his heart.

"What are you doing?" Tao Yao knew that she couldn't walk, so she just took a few quick steps to see what the hell they were up to? Tao Yao passed the two of them and saw a big rooster with wings tied by the stove behind them. The big rooster is well fed and has a shiny coat. Tao Yao suddenly understood, what the two of them just said was to kill the big rooster.

The two of them saw Tao Yao and saw it for a while, a little cramped.

"This big rooster is very noisy every morning, and it happened to be stewed and eaten today. The old man rubbed his hands and explained uneasily.

The old woman over there received the look from the old man, and hurriedly responded, "Yes, yes, yes, just stew it and add vegetables!"

If Fang Cai Taoyao hadn't heard the conversation between the two, she would have believed it, but the old woman was obviously reluctant, this big rooster was fed so well, if she hadn't come by herself, they would definitely not be willing to kill and eat. Thinking of the inexplicable suspicion before me, I wanted to shoot myself to death. This is just a simple ordinary family.

"It's a shame to have such a beautiful big rooster stewed and eaten. Tao Yao squatted down and touched the beautiful feathers of the big.

The big rooster seemed to understand Tao Yao's words, and he was particularly docile under Tao Yao's hands.

"Isn't it......" As soon as the old woman's words fell, the old man elbowed him.

"I mean, it's a pity, it's going to be eaten sooner or later!" the old woman quickly changed her words.

Tao Yao almost couldn't help laughing, but still pretended to be serious and said, "Hey, it's a pity, such a beautiful big rooster must taste delicious, but it's a pity that I can't eat meat!"

"Ah, sister, why can't you eat meat?" At this time, the little girl who had been beside her with a calm face spoke. Tao Yao thought that this girl must not approve of the old man slaughtering this big rooster for hospitality, so she has been calm since she came in. It's just that when I heard myself say that I can't eat meat, all those resentments disappeared, and there was still some sympathy in my tone, as if I couldn't eat meat, what a pitiful thing.

"I was like this when I was a kid, and eating meat would make me uncomfortable, so over time, my parents wouldn't let me eat meat. "Actually, except for the time when Tao Yao first transformed, he couldn't eat meat, and he could eat meat at other times. She only saw that the old man was reluctant to kill the big, so she said so. It was already very disturbing to borrow it from others, and she couldn't bear it if she wanted others to kill the crowing big rooster in order to improve her food.

"I see!" the little girl nodded thoughtfully. "Mother, since my sister can't eat it, let's not kill Dahua, we still have to rely on it to make noise every day!"

"Ahem...... old man coughed a few times and glared at his little daughter. "Erya, if you don't look at the fire yet, the rice will be mushy in a while. ”

"This ......" The old woman looked at Tao Yao in embarrassment, and then at the old man.

"I don't want to eat that today, and since you don't like it, keep it to chirp!" said the old man and walked away with his hands behind his back. When he took two steps, he turned back again, "Tao Yao girl, go, follow me to the living room and sit for a while, the two of them are very fast, and they can eat in a while." ”

"Eh!" Tao Yao looked at it, she didn't know how to do this kitchen work, and staying here was just a disservice, so she went to the living room with the old man.

At this time, the two sons and two sons of the old man who came back together also washed and changed their clothes briefly, and came to the living room to prepare for dinner.

Those children liked Tao Yao very much, especially the little girl, so Tao Yao acted as the child king and took the children to play in the yard for a while.

After a while, the food was on the table, and they were called back to eat.

"There's nothing good at home, so let's make do with the girl!"

"Auntie is modest, the food is delicious!" It's not that Tao Yao deliberately praises her, she really thinks it's delicious, maybe it's because she's been hungry for a long time, so these home-cooked dishes let her eat the taste of delicious food.

After eating, Tao Yao was arranged to sleep in Erya's room.

Erya's room is very simple, with only one cabinet, a table and a bed. The bed is not big, but it is enough for two girls. It's just that there is only one quilt on the bed. Tao Yao was a little embarrassed, did she want to share a quilt with Erya? She didn't dislike Erya, but she had always been used to sleeping alone.

When Tao Yao was worried, the old woman came in with a quilt.

"Girl, I brought you a quilt, this is the one my eldest daughter used when she was not married, after the marriage, I washed it and put it away, you can use it with confidence!"

"Thank you, auntie!" This is exactly the sleepy someone sent a pillow, Tao Yao was naturally full of joy and thanked happily.

"You're welcome, this mountain is no deeper than the outside, it's more dewy, and it's cool at night. Alright, I'll go back, and you can rest early!"

"Eh, auntie, wait!" Tao Yao called out to her, and took out two pearls from her sleeve pocket. "Auntie, this is for you!"

"It's ...... Pearl?" the old woman took it and looked at it, a little excited, and her tone couldn't help but rise.

The second girl, who was making the bed over there, heard her mother's voice and hurriedly ran over to look, "Pearl? ”

No wonder they are excited, where do ordinary people have the opportunity to see pearls, not to mention that they live in the mountains all year round. And the ones that Tao Yao carried with her were the ones with better color left from before.

"So this is a pearl, so beautiful!" Erya took it and put it in her hand, looked at it carefully, and looked at it with joy on her face.

"Erya, bring it. The old woman's tone was a little serious.

Although Erya liked it very much, when she saw her mother's appearance, she honestly handed it back.

"Girl, take this back, this is too precious! When I was young, I worked in a large family, and I once saw the lady of that family wear this earring, which is said to be very valuable, and that one doesn't look as beautiful as you!" the old woman stuffed the thing into Tao Yao's hand.

When Erya heard this, she hurriedly asked Tao Yao to take it back.

Tao Yao could see that the two of them really wanted her to take it back, and not covet her pearls. But the more she did, the more she wanted to give it to them.

"Auntie, when I was separated from my family, I only had these useless beads on my body, if you hadn't taken me in temporarily, I was afraid that I would have fed the jackals, tigers and leopards in the mountains. I don't have any money on me, and I'll probably have to be at your house until my family finds me. If you don't accept it, I'm really upset. ”

"This ...... But this is too precious!" the old woman was a little moved, but her expression was still very embarrassed.

"It's time for Erya to say goodbye, so it's good to give her this as a dowry in the future. Tao Yao said that the old woman really didn't refuse anymore, and after thanking her again and again, she put away the pearls properly.

The second girl on the side said shyly, "Sister, what nonsense are you talking about, I ignore you, I went to sleep." After saying that, he ran to the bed and covered himself with a quilt.

After the old woman left, Tao Yao and Erya couldn't sleep, and lay side by side in bed chatting. Tao Yao is not used to the new environment, while Erya is excited because of new friends.

Tao Yao wanted to ask Yu Gong many questions in the evening, but because he was afraid that he would be suspicious of his identity, he couldn't help but ask. And Erya is just a little girl of twelve or thirteen, and all her thoughts are on her face, so she can be fooled. So Tao Yao can ask with confidence.

After chatting for about half an hour, the second girl couldn't hold back her sleepiness and fell asleep. But Tao Yao couldn't sleep peacefully.

Through a night of chatting, Tao Yao knew that it was not the world of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty now. She remembered that it was the Eastern Zhou Dynasty when they attacked Fuyang Mountain, and the King of Zhou was Yijiu, the son of King You. She remembered what Lu Zhudao had said before, if she used the Moonlight Treasure Box to change the past, then she would fall into a chaotic time and space. Could it be that the Lu Zhudao people mean that she will run away to other planes? Therefore, it is highly likely that she will never see Mo Li again.

This realization diluted her joy that she was still alive. She took out the wooden figure of Moli that she asked the master to help carve when she was in Beijing again. At that time, she deceived Mo Li and let Mo Li take her own, and she took it. The expression on the wooden figure was still vivid, but I didn't know if Mo Li was really out of danger. If he is out of danger, can Mo Li accept that he disappears again? Will they try to find and wait for her to appear again, or will they be completely disappointed in her and choose to forget her. Tao Yao's heart is conflicted, she is reluctant to let Mo Li feel sad because of herself, and she doesn't want Mo Li to forget herself.

When the sky was bright, Tao Yao finally fell asleep tired and sleepy. When she woke up, she found that Yu Gong's family had already gone out to work, leaving only the old woman and Erya.

"Sister, have you woken up?"

Tao Yao looked at the sun and was a little embarrassed, it seemed that it was already past noon.

"My mother said that you were tired yesterday, and she deliberately didn't let me call you, you must be hungry. There's food left for you in the kitchen, so go eat some. ”

At this time, Tao Yao was indeed hungry. Erya's family generally only has two meals in the morning and evening. So Tao Yao was the only one who ate.

In the afternoon, Tao Yao walked around the neighborhood, she wanted to see the situation in the neighborhood, and then look for a way back. There are indeed a lot of yards behind Erya's house, but because people have moved away, they are in disrepair and look particularly desolate. She walked through these old houses and looked around, and suddenly her head hurt and she fainted.
