When I was just reborn, I was sold for 300 yuan.

After a while, the car was almost full. Su Qing looked at the middle-aged woman and the girl. The two seemed to have become familiar with each other. The girl had a smile on her face when she talked to the middle-aged woman.

Su Qing's brows frowned even deeper.

Because of the human trafficking incident she heard yesterday, Su Qing was somewhat suspicious of the middle-aged woman, but now the other party was just chatting with that woman and nothing happened. She didn't dare to go up and say anything, but just paid attention secretly.

This bus was heading to Maqu County and would take about six or seven hours, with stops at several towns and counties along the way. However, there was no movement from the middle-aged woman until they arrived in Maqu County and got off the bus. Su Qing saw the middle-aged woman smiling and saying goodbye to the little girl, and then they went their separate ways.

Seeing this, Su Qing blinked her eyes. Could it be that she guessed wrong?

Su Qing couldn't help but smile to herself. It seemed that she was a little bit paranoid.

Compared with Xiyuan County, Maqu County is obviously not as prosperous, but Su Qing still likes the local customs and special food here very much.

On the streets here, many people use horses as a means of transportation. When Su Qing got off the car, she saw several people riding horses passing by her.

To be honest, Su Qing had never ridden a horse before. She looked left and right, out of curiosity, and ended up being misunderstood. Then, Su Qing discovered a serious problem: she couldn't understand what the people here were saying.

Last time in La County, although the people there also spoke the local dialect, because there were often people opening gambling venues there to gamble on stones, the locals could speak some not very fluent Mandarin, so they could still communicate. But here, she couldn't understand a word of what was being said.

"Little girl, do you want to go to the market but can't find the place?" A woman saw Su Qing looking around, so she came forward and asked kindly.

Su Qing didn't understand what the other party said. She smiled awkwardly and tried to ask in Mandarin: "Excuse me, is there anyone here who can speak Mandarin?"

If she wanted to go to Xiqing Mountain, she would need to find a means of transportation. Moreover, she was not familiar with the place, so she would definitely need to ask someone. In this case, she might need to find a guide.

Su Qing was thinking, if she really couldn't find anyone who could speak Mandarin, would it be helpful if she went to the Public Security Bureau to find a police officer?

"Ah." The woman didn't understand Su Qing's words and was stunned for a moment: "What did you say?"

Looking at the woman's surprised expression, Su Qing blinked her eyes and understood that the other party couldn't understand what she said either.

The woman thought for a moment and asked, "Little girl, you are from another place, right?"

Su Qing still didn't understand and blinked awkwardly.

The woman also reacted. Su Qing didn't understand what she was saying. After thinking for a while, she gestured and asked Su Qing to follow her.

Su Qing saw that the woman had no ill will towards her and also wanted to know what she was going to do, so she nodded and followed the woman to a market.

The market was very lively, with vendors selling food, daily necessities, several stalls selling sheep and horses, and even yaks.

The woman took Su Qing to a stall selling horses and said something to the stall owner.

The stall owner was a man in his forties. After hearing what the woman said, he turned to look at Su Qing. This time, he spoke Mandarin, which made Su Qing feel relieved. Fortunately, there was someone who could speak Mandarin. "Little girl, are you from outside the city?"

The other party's Mandarin was very stiff, but fortunately she could understand it. Su Qing smiled and said, "Yes, I am from another place and just arrived today. Fortunately, this aunt brought me to see you, otherwise I would be in trouble today."

“Hahahaha, don’t worry.” The man laughed heartily, “We still have some people here who can speak some Mandarin, but not many of them.”

"That's great." Su Qing thanked sincerely, "Please say thank you to this aunt for me. Thanks to her for bringing me to you, otherwise I would still be confused by myself."

"Haha, no problem." The man smiled and said a few words to the woman.

After hearing this, the woman smiled, waved her hand and said a few words to Su Qing.

The man translated, "She said you don't have to be so polite. You are our guest and it is our duty to help you."

"You should be thanked." Su Qing said with a smile, and then took out a bag of White Rabbit candy from her backpack and handed it to the woman: "This is a small token of my appreciation, please accept it."

Seeing the White Rabbit milk candies, the woman waved her hands quickly. This gift was too expensive and she couldn't accept it. She just wanted Su Qing to lead the way. She didn't expect Su Qing to give her such an expensive gift. This bag of White Rabbit milk candies had at least twenty or thirty pieces, which was two or three yuan.

After some pushing and shoving, Su Qing finally got the woman to accept the candy, and she left with many thanks.

After the woman left, Su Qing smiled and said to the man, "I want to go to Xiqing Mountain. I wonder if you know anyone familiar with the area. It would be best if they can speak Mandarin. I would like to ask for a guide to lead the way for me."

"What, you want to go to Xiqing Mountain!" The man was very surprised after hearing Su Qing's words: "Little girl, Xiqing Mountain is very deep for you. Why do you want to go there? It's not easy to go there. Not only are there deep mountains and dense forests, but there are also many large wild animals. If you are not careful, you will get into trouble."

"Oh, I'm learning from an old Chinese doctor. I heard that there are many medicinal herbs in Xiqing Mountain, so I want to go into the mountain to take a look, but not go deep into the mountains. But this is my first time here and I'm not familiar with it, so I think I need to find a guide to take me to the foot of Xiqing Mountain." Su Qing briefly explained her purpose.

"There are indeed a lot of medicinal herbs in Xiqing Mountain." The man nodded: "But it is still too dangerous for a girl like you. I suggest you be careful."

"It's okay. I know a little bit of Kung Fu and I can protect myself. Besides, I won't go into the mountains." Su Qing said hurriedly.

"Is that so?" The man thought for a moment and said, "I won't hide it from you. My home is not far from Xiqing Mountain. If you are willing, I will take you there when I return to the village today."

"Really? That's great." Su Qing smiled and said, "I'll give you a thank you gift."

"What's the point of thanking me?" The man waved his hand nonchalantly and said with a smile, "It's just something I did by the way. No need to be so polite."

"You helped me a lot, I have to thank you for that." Su Qing insisted.

Since they were going to travel together, the two introduced themselves to each other. Su Qing then found out that this cheerful man was a Tibetan named Sangji.
