She suddenly thought of Mrs. Hou and her eldest brother Ye Chengxuan of Jinyang Hou Mansion, and thought of the resort where she died before the Peach Blossom Village was formed. Thinking of this, she felt an urge in her head to go back and take a look.

But how do you get back? The people here are not familiar, it is still far from the capital, it is definitely not possible to walk, it is so remote here, I am afraid that she will starve to death before she reaches the capital.

After thinking about it, she climbed the big tree behind her and looked into the distance.

At a glance, there are no green hills, but a desolate hill. In the middle of the hills there is a stretch of band. Ye Mengmeng was happy in her heart, that belt should be the official road, right? When she saw the official road, she let go of most of her heart, because only if there is an official road, if you follow the official road, you will definitely be able to go to the capital.

She quickly slipped down the tree and walked along the woods. She saw it just now, and the forest was not big. After walking for about half an hour, she finally walked out of the woods.

At the mouth of the forest, she rested for a while, picked a few wild fruits to satisfy her hunger, and then got up and continued walking.

The official road didn't look very far, but it was enough to really walk, and it took nearly two hours to reach the official road.

By this time, the sky had darkened, and the afterglow of the setting sun exuded its tranquil beauty.

Ye Mengmeng didn't dare to move forward, she was afraid that the wolves would come out as soon as it got dark, and she really had a strong psychological shadow of the wolves.

She stood on the official road and looked around, and at last, she noticed that there seemed to be a family in the col.

She was overjoyed and hurried over.

It was a thatched, mud-walled house with a low doorframe and a few chickens pecking at it.

The door was opened by an old man in his fifties who was seventeen or eighteen years old, thin as skin and bones, and had a simple face. As soon as he saw Ye Mengmeng, he was stunned.

"You are?"

At this time, Ye Mengmeng's clothes were crumpled, her hair was messy, and her face was full of ash, and she only saw a pair of big eyes turning.

Ye Mengmeng hurriedly attached a sweet smile. "This old man, can you borrow a treasure place to rest?"

The old man was still a little hesitant, but seeing that she was a girl, and she was alone and embarrassed, she was moved by pity, and nodded hurriedly: "Come in!"

"Thank you, uncle."

As soon as Ye Mengmeng entered the house, she heard a woman's voice coming. "Who is it, old man?"

The old man hurriedly said in a loud voice: "It's not in the way, it's the one who is passing by the slanted foot, you can rest."

Ye Mengmeng sat on a stool and looked at the room. The house was so shabby that there was nothing to say.

The old man smiled honestly at Ye Mengmeng and asked, "Is the girl hungry?"

Ye Mengmeng smiled a little embarrassedly.

The old man walked over, took out a broken bowl from the cupboard, and took out another cake and put it in front of her, "Eat, girl, are you hungry?" ”

Ye Mengmeng looked down, although the broken bowl was broken, it was cleanly washed, and the water was very clear.

She swallowed her saliva and whispered, "Thank you, uncle." Then he grabbed the bread and devoured it.

The old man said next to him: "Hey, slow down, slow down, don't choke."

After eating the cake and drinking the water, Ye Mengmeng felt that she had recovered a lot, she raised her head and said with sincere gratitude: "Thank you, uncle."

The old man smiled innocently: "Thank you?" Who hasn't had a hard time going out? While looking down at Ye Mengmeng, she asked curiously, "Where did the girl come from?" ”

As far as he knew, there weren't many people in the neighborhood.

Ye Mengmeng just wanted to speak, there was a sound in the back room, and a woman about ten or fifty years old walked out of the back room tremblingly.

"What's wrong, old man?" As soon as she saw Ye Mengmeng, she sighed in surprise, "Girl, why are you so embarrassed?" ”

Ye Mengmeng wiped her eyes, squeezed out a little tears, and said in a pitiful voice: "Uncle and aunt, I came out of the town in front of me, and I originally planned to go to the capital to join my relatives, but I was robbed by thieves on the way, and I had no choice but to walk for a day before I came out......"

The old man and his wife are both kind and honest people, and they shook their heads and sighed again and again after hearing her words.

The old man sighed and said, "The world is not peaceful now, and it is too dangerous for you to be alone with a girl."

The old woman also nodded and said, "That's it, girl, fortunately, the thief just robbed the money, and you already feel very lucky."

Ye Mengmeng nodded again and again: "Yes, money is something outside the body, and saving your life is the most important thing."

The old man looked outside and said, "The girl wants to go to the capital, but the capital is far away, and if you walk like this, I'm afraid that I won't be able to get there after walking for three days and three nights." What's more, the road is not very smooth, but it is also a headache to encounter a thief or a wild wolf halfway. ”

Ye Mengmeng sighed and said, "Yes, but what can be done?" I must go to the capital. But it's so desolate that it's impossible to find a carriage. What if you don't have to walk on your feet? ”

"Does the girl have any relatives in the capital?" The old woman asked.

"Well, sort of."

The old woman looked at her a few times, and saw that although she was dirty and embarrassed, she was dressed luxuriously and had an extraordinary temperament, and she was by no means an ordinary peasant girl, and guessed that she might be the daughter of a family in distress, so she thought for a while and said: "Girl, according to the old woman's wishes, it is better to wait for a day or two, and when my son comes back, let him take you to the capital with a donkey cart, what do you see?"

"You have a donkey cart?" Ye Mengmeng was surprised that such a poor family still had a donkey cart.

"Yes, my son went out yesterday and won't be back until later."

Ye Mengmeng thought about it, there was no way, it had to be like this, although the donkey cart was not as good as the carriage, it was still much faster than her feet.

"Thank you both."

"You're welcome, girl."

So, Ye Mengmeng temporarily lived in this family. She learned that the old man's surname was Sun, and the old woman's maiden family was Wang, and they had three daughters and one son, and all three daughters were married, only the son Zhuzi had not yet married a wife.

There was no word that night. On the evening of the second day, Sun Laohan's son Zhuzi really returned. This is a seventeen or eighteen-year-old offspring, just like his father, honest and honest.

As soon as she saw his donkey cart, Ye Mengmeng was completely speechless.

The donkey cart is really a donkey cart, but it is just an old donkey and a wooden bucket with hay. It looks like it's about to fall apart, Ye Mengmeng doubts that such a donkey cart can sit on people?

Sun Zhuzi was also a little embarrassed, usually he looked at the donkey cart and there was nothing to obstruct his eyes, why did he feel that this donkey cart was extremely shabby today?

He scratched the back of his head and smiled innocently: "That, girl, you see that this donkey is always a little old, but its foot strength is better, and it is not inferior to other donkeys at all......"

Ye Mengmeng couldn't help but laugh, tilted her head and smiled: "Okay, okay, I didn't say anything, I see that you are in a hurry."
