The way down the mountain is not easy to walk, but fortunately there is Maoya in front of her, otherwise it is a question whether she can go down the mountain.

Finally descending the mountain, the exhausted Lin Mujie turned to look at the mountain in front of him, panting and said: "Maoya, when we go back later, you can talk to the stinky fox, let him use whatever method he uses, and we must make the way down the mountain a little easier, otherwise it will take almost all of our strength just to go down the mountain, and how can we have any other strength to complete the task." ”

"Sister Mu Jie, his name is Tu Zhi, not a stinky fox." Maoya is doing a lot better than her, but she is also gasping slightly.

"He eats chicken legs, and the two of us eat steamed buns, so he's not a stinky fox?"

He wanted to say that there was only one chicken leg, and it didn't seem to be a problem to leave it for the eldest to eat, but when he noticed that her face was not very good, he didn't say anything, and used silence to show his support for her statement.

After going down the mountain, she saw a lot of people working not far away, and thought to herself, they should be the name of the village under the mountain, I don't know if there are many unmarried men and women in this village, if there are too few, then there are few goals to choose from, and the task will be even more difficult to complete.

"Sister Mujie, where is your home, do you want to go back and report to them first." Maoya looked up at Lin Mujie thoughtfully, he thought she was the name of the village near here, otherwise how could she be met and rescued by Tu Zhi.

"My family unfortunately left in a famine, and I fled here, and I accidentally fell down the mountain in the midst of hunger and cold, and I was fortunate to be rescued by you." Without the slightest hesitation, she found an excuse for herself to prevaricate, and after finishing speaking, she secretly gave a thumbs up in her heart for her quick thinking.

"I'm sorry." Maoya looked down, and he realized that he seemed to have said the wrong thing.

"It's okay, I still want to thank you, if you didn't save me, maybe I wouldn't have a chance to stay in this world." Because she didn't know who saved her, she used "we".

"You don't have to thank me, because your life was saved twice, if you want to thank him, thank him."

She heard her right, right? It was the stinky fox who saved her twice? If it was the stinky fox who saved her the second time, she believed it, because she fell in front of the stinky fox's door.

But about the first time she was rescued, how did she remember that the stinky fox said that it was Yue Lao who saved her? She thought about it carefully and sneered, how could that stinky fox be so kind, he should have saved her for the sesame oil money, but he couldn't pull his face and ask for money, so he made up a lie and asked her to go to the Yuelao Temple to donate the sesame oil money, otherwise he would stand by and watch with his cold-blooded and ruthless appearance, but he didn't expect that something would happen later.

After thinking about it, she said perfunctorily: "Well, I will thank him if I have time, now our main task is to go down to the village to find out the situation, otherwise our eyes will be dark, and we don't know where to start the task." ”

Maoya didn't speak, but he nodded in agreement.

Ever since she descended the mountain, she had been frowning and thinking about her opening words when she saw someone later, while Cat Ya followed her quietly, like her pet.

"Girl, where are you going?"

As she was thinking, a loud voice broke the silence of the scene and rushed into her ears, and she looked at the place where the sound was made, and saw a rather festive aunt walking towards her with a happy face.

After being stunned for a moment, she reacted, pointed to her nose and whispered, "Are you calling me?" ”

"That's right." The aunt twisted her thick waist, both in the tone of her speech and in her movements.

is really looking for her, could it be that she saw her identity as a foreigner and wanted to drive herself away? Thinking of this, she couldn't help but get nervous and began to stutter as she spoke.

"No, I don't know what you're looking for me, what?"

"Oh girl, you shouldn't be a stammer, right?" Hearing Lin Mujie say this, the joy on the aunt's face disappeared instantly, and the two willow eyebrows between her eyebrows became deeper and deeper.

"It's not."

"That's good, that's good." The aunt quietly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and after patting her shoulder gently, she immediately changed to the smile just now, and said, "Sister, I see that you are a foreigner, right?" ”

Lin Mujie thought to herself, this is not easy to hide, just admit it directly.

"Hmm."

Hearing that she was a foreigner, the joy on the aunt's face stagnated again, but soon recovered as before, and continued to ask, "Then where are you from?" Who is in the house? Do you have an older brother or younger brother? ”

In the face of the aunt's unexpected amiability, she didn't dare to speak easily, she thought about it seriously, and then looked down at Maoya next to her, and finally copied the set of rhetoric to deal with Maoya, of course, she saved the matter of being saved by Tu Zhi after falling down the mountain.

"So you have no relatives? Oops, you're so pathetic. ”

The words sounded sympathetic to her, but what was the matter with her smile from ear to ear? Mock yourself? Lin Mujie looked at the middle-aged woman who was old but laughed with a blank face, and said nothing.

It didn't take long for the aunt to notice her idiotic behavior, she restrained the smile on her face, changed it to a more timely sad expression, and sighed and said: "Sister, you are alone in a foreign land, and life is not easy. ”

"It's fine."

"So have you got a job? Need help from your aunt? "Auntie suddenly became enthusiastic.

She helped me find a job? The two are just strangers who meet for the first time, how kind will she be? She looked at her with a frown, suspicion in her eyes.

The aunt sensed her suspicion and immediately added: "Sister, don't think too much, my aunt just heard you say...... You said that everyone in the family was lost in the famine, and my aunt took pity on you and didn't want you to follow in their footsteps, so I wanted to help you......"

Perhaps, the thinking of ancient and modern people is different, their folk customs are more simple, and they are more willing to help others? At this moment, she was moved, and looked at the aunt on the side hesitantly.

Although Lin Mujie didn't speak, the suspicion in her eyes did not escape the insight of the aunt, she hurriedly explained while the iron was hot: "The neighbor who lives opposite me lives alone like you, I see that he is also old, and there are many things that he can't do, I think you may be able to help him and let him pay you afterwards, do you think it's okay?" ”

Lonely old man? It seems that she can give it a try, she thought about it, and did not immediately give the aunt an answer, but said tactfully: "I have to go to see it before I can decide, I don't know if my aunt is free to take me over to see it now?" ”

"Okay, okay." Auntie was so happy that she said three lines in a row, and then took the lead in the front.

"Eh, girl, did you raise this?" When she walked around, the aunt found Maoya's figure, she looked at Maoya with a little anxiety in confusion, and asked tremblingly.

I didn't want to talk more, I was afraid that I would make too many mistakes, so Lin Mujie didn't talk after replying with a "um", while the aunt chattered.

"Sister, my aunt's name is Liu Daidi, you can call me Aunt Liu, let me tell you, the neighbor who lives across the door from my house, he is a big good person, he usually sees stray animals, he feeds them something, and you happen to like animals too, so I see the two of you, it's really like-minded."

Lin Mujie is not good at communicating, especially strangers who cross generations with her, so when her aunt chatters, she laughs awkwardly, and from time to time she simply echoes twice.

Seeing this, the aunt smiled even more happily.

"Eh, here we are, those two thatched houses."

Looking in the direction of Liu Daidi's finger, Lin Mujie first saw the low thatched house in her mouth, and next to the thatched house was a set of wooden fences enclosed by mud brick houses, and the mud brick house should be the home of the aunt next to it.

The person she was going to see later actually lived in two dilapidated thatched houses? She felt that the people inside might not even be able to eat enough, how could they still help stray animals? I'm afraid there is a misunderstanding here?

When she was puzzled, Liu Daidi said excitedly at the thatched house: "Chen Datou, come out quickly and see what good things I brought you." After that, she pulled Lin Mujie's arm, and regardless of whether she would be in pain or not, she dragged her to trot in the direction of the thatched house.

"Eh, Aunt Liu, you let go, you hurt me." Lin Mujie, who hadn't reacted yet, was held in her hand like a chicken, she frowned and exerted herself, she wanted to pull away the other party's hand that firmly grabbed her arm, but her little arm was not the opponent of the other party's thick and powerful big arm at all, after several struggles, she spent a lot of strength, but the person was still in Guo Zhaodi's hand.

"Let go? You think beautifully, it's all here, how could I let you go. Liu Daidi changed the kind and kind appearance of the aunt next door before, and said viciously to Lin Mujie.

The aunt had completely different expressions from one after the other, she was even sluggish and realized that something was wrong, and then looked over to the thatched house, and she saw a sloppy man walking out of it, and when he came out, he spat on the ground, making her frown in disgust.

Sure enough, she tricked her into wanting to sell her to that man, but she thought that the folk customs of the times here would be more simple, it turned out that there were scum in any era, and these two in front of her were both, no, she couldn't say anything to let her get her wish.

"You liar, you hurry up and let go, or I'll call someone." She struggled hard, her body writhed like a water snake, her feet did not fall, the toes of her two feet wanted to grasp the ground, but the other party's hands clamped her firmly like pliers, she couldn't break free, other efforts seemed to be useless, she watched herself being dragged by the stout and powerful aunt in the direction of the thatched house.

"Help, help, someone robbed a woman from a good family in broad daylight." Struggling, she had no choice but to shout, hoping that a different person would draw a knife to help.
