The people in the village, Ye Laosan and Ye Guang, had bad intentions, and it was too late to hide. The aunt of the owner who occasionally gave her a cake, and the uncle of the west family who occasionally talked to her with a few words, although it also made her a little reluctant, it seemed that they could not be the reason for her to stay. The only mother she cares about is gone. Xiao Tao didn't hesitate much, and agreed to Mi Niang's suggestion, but she was curious: "Mi Niang, how can you come up with this solution?" ”

The mother was stunned: "What kind of method is this?" I used to hide in Tibet and run away if I couldn't stay. ”

The mother not only gave Xiao Tao ideas, but also ran with Xiao Tao. The only concern of the young lady in Yunwan Village is Xiao Tao, so naturally she wants to be with Xiao Tao. In order to avoid Ye Guang catching up, Xiao Tao didn't dare to take the waterway, Xiangao Town, Anping Town, they were all too familiar. Xiao Tao and her mother climbed over the back mountain and fled from the mountain road. Fortunately, the mother is used to wandering around, and it is quite smooth with Xiao Tao. When you are hungry, you can ask for food from every house, or pick a few wild fruits to satisfy your hunger. When I saw a good-faced person driving an ox cart, I could take a ride. Their destination is Jinling.

The mother proposed to go farther, so that Ye Laosan and they could not find it. Xiao Tao didn't know how to make a ghost, so he blurted out Jinling. Aside from the towns of Xiangao and Anping and a few nearby towns, she didn't know much. Qi Gongzi said that he wanted to return to Jinling, and Jinling had an unusual brilliance in Xiao Tao's eyes. What's more, there is the foot of the Son of Heaven, and everything is endlessly wonderful for the ignorant young peach.

It's just that she didn't expect that the road to Jinling would be so difficult. I have been hungry, injured, bitten by wild dogs, beaten and scolded, and sometimes trembling all over my body when I get lost and hear a wolf howling. This day of escaping the famine is really not a human life.

Xiao Tao thought that her previous life was sad enough, but now compared to it, the life at home is already comfortable. Xiao Tao couldn't imagine how her mother was wandering around by herself before. After walking for nearly half a month, I still have more than half a distance to go.

The next day was Chinese New Year's Eve, but they could only spend it in the ruined temple. Xiao Tao and her mother hugged for warmth, they didn't have the intention of celebrating the New Year at all, what they were most worried about was that their shoes were broken, how to go in the future?

The young lady looked at Xiao Tao and said, "I know there is a place, maybe we can get shoes." ”

"Where?" Little Peach was curious.

"Yizhuang." The mother said timidly, "There are corpses parked in that place that no one cares about, and there may be shoes." ”

"Wearing dead man's shoes?!" Xiao Tao was so frightened that she covered her mouth, and then shook her head like a rattle, "I don't dare." ”

"Actually, it's fine," the girl lowered her head.

"You crossed?" Momo's eyes widened. Dead man's stuff is the most taboo.

The young lady nodded, her mouth pursed tightly. She had even eaten offerings from the dead before, and wore shoes, so what else was she afraid of.

Xiao Tao scratched her head and said nothing. Life is something that forces people to bow their heads. When you don't have the qualifications to pay attention to it, you can only pay attention to nothing.

The next day was Chinese New Year's Eve, and early in the morning, Xiao Tao and Mi Niang found a relatively strong straw rope in the broken temple to tie up the shoes whose soles had fallen off, and inquired and walked towards Yizhuang.

The town's Yizhuang is built on the slope of a hill in the suburbs, which is somewhat dilapidated, adding to the gloomy atmosphere. Xiao Tao's heart was panicked like a drum, and the young lady grabbed Xiao Tao's hand and said to her: "There are usually one or two stewards in Yizhuang, and you will go in and deal with them later, I am stupid and sneak into the backyard to steal shoes." ”

Xiao Tao breathed a sigh of relief, she was also afraid that her hands would tremble and she would not be able to take off her shoes from the feet of the dead, and it would be easier to deal with the living.

The young lady ran around the courtyard wall of Yizhuang to the back door, and Xiao Tao slowly moved along the stone steps to the main entrance of Yizhuang. The gate of Yizhuang was hidden, and Xiao Tao probed his head and looked in along the crack in the door, there were several coffins parked in the courtyard, and there were several bundles of candle paper money on the ground.

Xiao Tao raised her hand and was about to push the door with a trembling head, when a cold light flashed through the door. Xiao Tao looked in the direction where the cold light came out, there were a few strong men standing in the courtyard who were shrewd and capable, dressed in short clothes, and with the cold light, a gray shadow had already slashed at her, seeing that she seemed to be a little surprised, and took her hand back stiffly, only standing firmly in front of her, and her voice was very cold: "Why are you?" ”
