Fang Qingge heard the conversation between the mother and son clearly. She was afraid that she would be abandoned by the suspicious little scholar, so she didn't care about not listening to anything indecent, and hurriedly explained loudly:

"Don't worry, Auntie. I'm a good person. My family was in trouble and my parents died. I had no choice but to leave. I didn't expect to end up in this wilderness without knowing the way.

I have no ill intentions, I just want you to give me a ride. As long as you can leave here, I will be very grateful. "

"Hey? Girl, don't misunderstand me. You saved my life, and I'm not an ungrateful person. Let's go."

After hearing what Fang Qingge said, the young scholar felt embarrassed and stopped hesitating. He nodded and walked forward to support his mother.

*

"Thank you, Auntie! Thank you, little brother!"

Fang Qingge was so surprised that she thanked her repeatedly with a sweet smile on her face, and even reached out to help the old lady onto the donkey cart.

At this time, the young scholar could see Fang Qingge's appearance clearly. The girl seemed to have just wiped her face clean. Her skin was as white and tender as boiled egg white, and her delicate eyebrows and eyes were unforgettable at first sight.

Especially her pair of big watery eyes seem to be able to speak, making people unable to refuse any of her requests.

The young scholar thought that although her appearance was strange, her words and actions just now were very generous and appropriate!

He was guessing her identity in his mind, and when he looked up, he saw Fang Qingge's puzzled gaze.

The handsome face of the young scholar turned red instantly before he realized that it was very rude of him to stare at the girl.

Don't look at what's inappropriate. Don't look at what's inappropriate. He turned his head away in a panic, his voice becoming stammering.

"Mom, can we...can we go now?"

"Okay, let's go!"

With a shout of "Gee", the black donkey received the order and started to trot.

In the carriage,

Fang Qingge was not used to the sudden bumpy ride of the donkey cart, and he almost fell over due to the swaying of his body.

"Be careful, girl."

The old lady held her steady and said in a friendly manner:

"Excuse me, young lady, where are you going? I'll tell my son to take you there."

Hearing this, Fang Qingge lowered her head. Perhaps it was because she had a liking for them. Her intuition told her that neither the old lady nor the young scholar were bad people, so she opened her mouth to test them:

"Auntie, my name is Fang Qingge, you can just call me Qingge. I grew up in seclusion and have never been far away.

To be honest, this time my family was hit by a sudden misfortune. Both my parents passed away. I no longer have a home and no relatives.

Now, I… I don’t know where to go? Where can I, an orphan girl, find a place to live.”

After saying these words, Fang Qingge raised her little face with a gloomy expression. A feeling of sadness spread from her body, which immediately hurt the kind and tender old mother's heart.

"Alas! Poor child."

The old lady hugged Fang Qingge gently and lowered her head with tears in her eyes.

The donkey cart rumbled forward, and the atmosphere in the carriage was temporarily filled with Fang Qingge's sadness.

After a long silence, the old lady seemed to have made a great decision and took Fang Qingge's hand, and whispered solemnly:

"Qingge, I don't know your situation, so I shouldn't be so kind. But I don't want to hide it from you. I like you when I see you. I can't bear to see you suffer anymore.

You saved my life again today. It shows that we are really destined to be together.

How about this! Since you have nowhere to go, if you don’t mind, just go home with me for a while! Although my family is poor, we can always provide you with simple meals.”

The old lady patted Fang Qingge's little hand gently and asked.

Fang Qingge was stunned for a moment, then said in surprise:

"Really? Auntie. Are you willing to take me in? Thank you! Thank you! Don't worry, I promise I won't bring any trouble to your family."

Seeing the old lady nodded affirmatively, Fang Qingge's excited big eyes sparkled with tears, which made the old lady feel even more pity for her.

"Qingge! Your aunt's surname is Yu, and her given name is Chunhua. Your husband's surname is Shen. Your uncle's full name is Shen Dazhuang, and he is a bricklayer.

We live in Qinghe Village, under Ping'an Town, not far from the city. Our place is close to the mountains and the road is a bit remote. It takes us a whole day to get there!

It is fate that we met this morning. I went home early after visiting Zhier's sick aunt!

Oh, I forgot to introduce you. This is my youngest son, Shen Wenzhi. He is eighteen years old this year and is a student. He will take the examination for the title of scholar next year! My aunt has an older son named Shen Wendong, who is married and has a child. He works in the town.

When talking about her two sons, Aunt Yu's face and eyes were full of smiles.

"Qingge, how old are you this year?"

"Fifteen."

"Oh? What month was your birthday?"

"Auntie, I am June 16th."

Fang Qingge was talking about her birthday in her previous life, but she didn't expect that the original owner also had the same birthday as her. Maybe there was some kind of connection between them!

"Ah? What a coincidence!"

Aunt Yu looked at her in surprise, but her thoughtful eyes seemed as if she was looking at someone else.

*

But Aunt Yu quickly covered it up and said jokingly,

"Oh my! My Qingge is such a pretty and well-mannered girl! It's a pity that my Zhier is engaged. I don't know which stinky boy will marry her in the future?"

As she said this with a smile, the image of the rude and aggressive daughter-in-law in the village who had not yet married into the family suddenly appeared in her mind.

Comparing the two, I couldn't help but sigh softly.

Aunt Yu's joke made Fang Qingge, who had never dealt with someone so straightforward, feel embarrassed and his ears turned red.

I didn't notice the subtle change in Aunt Yu in an instant.

"Aunt Yu, you always tease me."

"Auntie likes you, girl!"

The frank conversation brought the two closer without them realizing it.

Fang Qingge really likes Aunt Yu, who is straightforward, kind-hearted and has a good face.

In fact, Fang Qingge went through a fierce ideological struggle before deciding to follow Aunt Yu.

The last thing I thought was, no matter how miserable the road ahead is, it can’t be worse than the fate of sleeping in the wilderness, right?

The most important point is that Fang Qingge searched her body but could not find the indenture, which means that she now has no household registration and is an illegal resident. The fate of an illegal resident in ancient times can be imagined.

That's why she dared to take a gamble and follow Aunt Yu home.

*

The donkey cart was running with a "clacking" sound. Aunt Yu's health had returned to normal.

She forcibly turned Fang Qingge's legs and carefully massaged her ankles, while she started chatting about daily life. Of course, it was Aunt Yu who did all the talking, which did add some fun to their lonely journey.

As for what was said in the carriage, the young scholar Shen Wenzhi who was driving the carriage outside did not pay attention to it. He was busy with two things at once, driving the carriage and reciting the book at the same time.
