As the sun sets, the orange and reddish sunlight seems to warm the gurgling stream.The shadows of the trees along the winding dirt road were also stretched long, sparsely and randomly covering the bullock carts walking on the road and the "youth" who was leaning on the shafts of the carts.

"Crack!" Accompanied by a clear whip, the whip in "youth" Su Tanqing's hand flexibly produced a whip flower.She wasn't in a hurry, she was just bored because the ox cart was too slow.

Especially when she was used to the speed of cars before, but now she has turned into a bullock cart that is slower than walking. No wonder she is not bored.

What's more, no matter how often she whips the flower, the leisurely buffalo in front of her will ignore her—as long as the whip doesn't fall on it.

She can only entertain herself.

Seeing a stone tablet lying on the side of the road as a resting stone from a distance, Su Tanqing looked up at the sky helplessly, feeling that he was going to struggle all the way home again.

Every time I went back and forth to see the third sister, I had to struggle for a while, and Su Tanqing didn't know when he had such a strong thirst for knowledge.

The stele has been eroded by the years and only the second half is left. The unclear word Su Tanqing in the article has been guessed from the context, but there is a word Su Tanqing in the inscription that cannot be confirmed.

"So are you 'Hua' or 'Bi'?" Su Tanqing subconsciously used Mandarin when talking to himself, "Obviously everything in front of it is so neat, is it really good to just sign it like this?"

As soon as the words fell, a person suddenly emerged from the grass not far from the stone tablet, "Young master!"

"Who is it?!" Su Tanqing was taken aback by the person who appeared suddenly, and when he took a closer look, the person was wearing a dusty, coarse cloth bunt shirt and a turban on his head, but he could still see that it was a woman.

"May I ask this son, where is this place?" The other party was a little eager, but still used a more polite tone.

Su Tanqing was full of doubts when she heard her words that were similar to Mandarin but not exactly the same.I don't know if there are words similar to Mandarin in this world or if she is also a time traveler.

Since she came to this world, the people around her use a local language that is similar to Cantonese. She can understand Cantonese herself, so it was not that hard to learn, but it took about three years to fully understand and use it.

Su Tanqing was puzzled, but he still turned his head to look at the surrounding environment. "This is between Shicun Village and Hechong Village. It's relatively close to Shicun Village. After walking for half an hour, we will reach Shicun Village."

"..."

Su Tanqing knew from her expression that she didn't know these two places, but he didn't continue talking.She wants to continue to observe, is this a time traveler or can she speak a language similar to Mandarin?If it is a time traveler, why is it not surprising that he can speak Mandarin?

"Then dare to ask the nearest town...?"

"City," Su Tanqing pointed at the road behind him with a whip, "It takes an hour to walk from here to Hechong Village, and another hour to walk along the road from Hechong Village to Baishan Town."

"Of course there is another way," Su Tanqing pointed to the road ahead with a whip, "From here to Shicun, if you walk around Shicun for another two hours, you will arrive at Baishan Town."

"Baishan Town? Or..." She muttered to herself, but her voice became lower and lower, and Su Tanqing didn't know what she was talking about.

This kind of reaction let Su Tanqing know that she knew Baishan Town, and after talking so much, she still didn't express Su Tanqing's Mandarin pronunciation. It is more likely that there is another language in this world with a pronunciation similar to Mandarin.

Now that there is a precedent for Cantonese, Su Tanqing naturally does not find it strange, but is slightly disappointed.Of course, it is not ruled out that she is a time traveler with excellent acting skills, but if that is the case, Su Tanqing will not know who to talk to her.

Su Tanqing looked up at the sky, "Girl, it's getting dark soon. You should find a nearby village to stay for the night. Although there are no big insects nearby, there are still a lot of wild boars. It's dangerous for you to be alone." After finishing speaking, he played a whip without waiting for her answer. Hearing the sound of the whip, the buffalo walked forward slowly.

"Wait! Young Master, which village are you going to? This concubine is from the Yang family, can I let this concubine go with you in your ox cart?"

Su Tanqing grabbed the buffalo, turned to Miss Yang and smiled, "It's not that I don't want to part with this ox cart, but if you take my cart to Shicun, they won't let you borrow it. And I'm the only one in my family. Yes, but you probably won’t live in it.”

"Why?" After asking Miss Yang, she realized that she should not ask, "Sorry, but I twisted my foot." After a pause, she added, "That's why I'm sitting here."

Su Tanqing smelled that she was trying to cover up from her supplement, and she had already realized that Miss Yang was wrong.Here are some ordinary people who have never learned Chinese characters. When they called you son, it was already very abrupt. Coupled with her polite dialogue, the self-proclaimed concubine was even more obvious.Su Tanqing didn't want to deal with these things, so she pretended that she didn't find these flaws.

Now it's another thing for her to worry, "Twisted?" Su Tanqing frowned, looked at Miss Yang's feet, and then realized that she shouldn't be looking at the girl's feet, so she looked away.

Miss Yang had a glimmer of hope because of Su Tanqing's little action. The result of her celibacy at night could only be to feed wild animals or get sick from the cold.Seeing Su Tanqing's actions, he knew that she was a person who knew etiquette, so he couldn't help but look at her nervously.

Su Tanqing hesitated for a moment, "Although I dare not say that people in the village will not take you in if you take my car, but it's likely to be the case." What she didn't say was that Miss Yang didn't look like she had brought her belongings, let alone in the village. Someone took her in.

It's not that they're desperate.Originally, they just didn't want to contact Su Tanqing, and they wouldn't stand idly by if their lives were at stake, but the current situation is not in their eyes.The people brought back by Su Tanqing should naturally live in Su Tanqing's place. As for Mingjie, since they took Su Tanqing's car to the village, who knows how long they have been together?Famous festivals and so on have long since disappeared, so they should live in Su Tanqing's place.

In Ms. Yang's eyes, there is a big difference between taking a bus and living in a house with only one man.

But since Su Tanqing met her, it is impossible to leave a girl with a broken leg in the wilderness. "Otherwise, I'll take you to my third sister's house, which is in Hechong Village."

"This..." Miss Yang calculated, this would waste two and a half hours for Su Tanqing, and it will be at least three hours before "he" returns to Stone Village.Although "he" is a man, at that time, "he" will be alone, and it will be very dangerous to go back to Shicun in the middle of the night.Miss Yang is really embarrassed to trouble such a person who has not said a few words, but she has no other way, and she has nothing to repay.

Su Tanqing obviously saw her predicament early on, pulled the buffalo to turn the direction, and then smiled slightly: "Get in the car, time is running out, we have to hurry up."

When Ms. Yang heard "he" talk about us, she thought that "he" would also live in "his" third sister's house. She gave her a blessing in gratitude and embarrassment, and limped slowly towards the bullock cart.

In fact, Su Tanqing just said it in passing, and didn't intend to do so.She felt that it would be unlucky to meet wild animals with her martial arts skills, and she would be able to bring back a prey to go home.

And she didn't think it was very late—in modern times she was up most of the time at eleven or twelve at night.Although her usual schedule here is not like this, she still doesn't feel that it is too late because of the habit in her heart.

Su Tanqing took care of the "male and female defense" between them, just waited patiently, and turned his eyes away from her distress, and asked after the bullock cart moved slightly, "Are you sitting still?"

"Okay, thank you son."

"Crack!" The buffalo immediately started to move, and the ox cart started to move.

Su Tanqing didn't look back, but said in a voice that could be heard in the carriage: "My surname is Su, and my third brother-in-law's family name is Wang. You can just call her Mrs. Wang. By the way, there is a blanket in the basket next to it," she looked at Looking at the sky, "The dew will be heavy when the sun goes down, you should put it on first."

Miss Yang looked at her dusty clothes and the brand new blanket, and just about to refuse, she heard Su Tanqing's voice again. "It's newly made by my third sister, and I haven't used it before. After all, you are injured, it's better not to catch cold."

It wasn't that Su Tanqing suddenly became concerned about such a stranger who hadn't seen his face clearly, but that she had been told so much by her three sisters before, and now that her identity had changed, she just said so.She also realized it herself, feeling a little embarrassed, and the words added later are her remedy.

Miss Yang still hesitated for a moment, thinking that after running in the mountains for so long today, and getting into the wet grass again, the possibility of catching cold and getting sick is not small, and it would be even more troublesome for Su Tanqing, so she had to put on a blanket in embarrassment.

"Thank you." Ms. Yang replied softly, she looked at the back of Su Tanqing's head after she relieved her embarrassment, and remembered "his" carefulness just now, thinking that maybe she could really look forward to finally meeting a good person after meeting so many wicked people.

After the rustling noises, Su Tanqing heard Miss Yang thanking her again, and finally realized that he hadn't answered her last thank you just now, his face became hot, and he replied awkwardly: "...don't be too polite."

Su Tanqing knew that she was someone with a story, so she didn't want to ask further questions, but just wanted to send her to the third sister's house to borrow.

Ms. Yang was also really tired, she gradually fell asleep while leaning on the swaying cart with the sound of the bullock cart rumbling along and the occasional low moo of the old cow.

After arriving, Su Tanqing was still hesitating whether to wake her up, but at this moment, the third sister who saw her came over.

"Si baby, why are you here again?"

Su Tanqing hurriedly explained the matter. It is very common for borrowing this kind of thing to happen to people traveling north and south in the village. Although the borrower has become a woman this time, it is naturally not a problem for the third sister.

"Then you can stay with me too, it's so late."

"No need, I'll walk back, my footsteps are much faster than the bullock cart." Su Tanqing went back twice as fast by using lightness kung fu, but she couldn't even say this to the third sister.As for the bullock cart, wait until the day it passes by before taking it back.

Su Tanqing had always made up her own mind since she was a child, and no one would listen to what was decided, and it became even worse after her parents left. Although the third sister was worried, she didn't speak again.

But she was only worried that Su Tanqing was tired, and not worried about what happened to her. She still remembered Su Tanqing coming back from hunting a tiger.
