After staying with Aunt Wang for a few days, Meng Jiao's health has almost recovered.

It's time for her to say goodbye to Aunt Wang.

After that day, Meng Jiao went to Aunt Wang and searched carefully for the small river where Aunt Wang said she had found her.

In the end, it still failed.

At first she was a little bit lost, but she also knew that decadence was not the solution.

There are still tasks on her body that have not been completed.

Don't spend too much time on some things.

"Aunt Wang, I'll light a fire for you."

That evening, when Aunt Wang was busy in the kitchen, Meng Jiao walked in to help.

But when she thought that one day she volunteered, she wanted to cook a meal for Aunt Wang and express her gratitude.

Never thought.

That day, she almost burned the kitchen down.

After Aunt Wang found out, she was glad that she was not injured, which made Meng Jiao even more ashamed.

Since then.

She was too embarrassed to mention cooking again.

Just do the little things that are innocuous and within your power.

"No need, I can do this by myself, Xiaojiao, just sit in the main room and wait."

Aunt Wang's hands were stained with flour, so she pushed Meng Jiao with her elbow in order not to stain Meng Jiao's clothes.

There was always a warm smile on her face.

Yesterday, Aunt Wang's natal brother came to visit her and brought her a small bag of white flour.

Flour was a rarity in those days, especially white flour.

During the war, there was a shortage of supplies.

There are not many people who can eat white flour.

Aunt Wang's younger brother's family is better than Aunt Wang's.

But her younger brother is an earbud, worried about his wife's displeasure, and he doesn't dare to help his sister often. He only sneaks over with something when he comes to visit once in a while.

Aunt Wang also told him not to take it.

She was mainly afraid of affecting the relationship between her younger brother and daughter-in-law.

Anyway, I am used to eating bran and swallowing vegetables, and I spend a day with both bitterness and joy.

During the few days here, Meng Jiao also got a general understanding of Aunt Wang's situation.

Don't look at her smiling all day long.

in fact.

Aunt Wang is a miserable person.

This is a remote mountainous area in Picheng. The people who live here face the loess and their backs to the sky every day, and cannot have a day of leisure.

Although Aunt Wang's family lives in poverty, but fortunately, the family is healthy and happy.

later.

Her husband was taken off to the battlefield by conscripts and never came back.

After finally raising his son, the village was attacked by the enemy, and his son died under the hail of bullets.

Aunt Wang was desperate and wanted to go with them.

But thinking of her elderly parents and in-laws, she endured the pain and lived to fulfill her responsibilities as a woman, a man and a wife.

She laughs every day, just because she doesn't want God to see her laugh.

Aunt Wang knows very well that every day a person lives will be one day less, and it is a day to be happy or unhappy. She must work hard to live towards happiness.

not to mention.

The enemies who invaded their country eventually failed, and they paid a heavy price.

This ending made Aunt Wang very happy.

She has seen the result she most wanted to see in her lifetime, and she has nothing to be dissatisfied with.

After spending the past few days together, Meng Jiao learned a lot from Aunt Wang.

Looking at her contagious smile every day, Meng Jiao also felt that there was nothing difficult to overcome in the world.

Anything is possible as long as you keep going.

"Aunt Wang, don't shirk it, I don't want to be a fool who only eats free food and knows nothing."

Meng Jiao persisted.

Aunt Wang covered her mouth and narrowed her eyes, revealing a few fine lines at the end of her eyes.

"How can anyone say that about themselves?"

Nothing to do with Meng Jiao, Aunt Wang let go, "Okay, then you take a small stool and sit there and light the fire for me."

"it is good."

Meng Jiao nodded happily.

Aunt Wang moved very neatly, and it didn't take long for a pot of delicious white steamed buns to come out of the oven.

"Xiao Jiao, I'll take out the tinder, you go wash your hands and eat steamed buns."

Aunt Wang rolled up her sleeves and took out the steamed buns, put them on the stove, and took over the tongs from Meng Jiao.

Meng Jiao replied, "Okay, then I'll take the steamed buns to the main room."

"Be careful, don't burn yourself."

"Ok, I know."

"Aunt Wang, the steamed buns you steamed are really delicious." Meng Jiao's cheeks were bulging, and she looked satisfied.

"If it tastes good, eat more."

Aunt Wang picked up two more steamed buns from the steamer and handed them to Meng Jiao's bowl.

Meng Jiao quickly shied away, "Enough is enough, it's too much."

"Not much, you are growing your body now, you need to eat more to grow strong."

"Thank you, Aunt Wang."

"You are welcome, eat quickly."

"Well, alright."

After a cozy dinner.

Meng Jiao pondered for a long time, "Aunt Wang, do you still remember the little brother I told you about? That is the owner of the jade pendant."

"I remember." Aunt Wang nodded, and then asked, "Why did Xiao Jiao mention this all of a sudden?"

"I'm going to find him, so..."

Meng Jiao pursed her lips, but stopped talking.

She was thinking about what she should say to make Aunt Wang feel better.

she had said.

Her own appearance was a ray of light that God gave her.

But now she had to take this beam of light away because of her mission, Meng Jiao couldn't bear it.

"So Xiaojiao is leaving." Aunt Wang said straight away.

Meng Jiao raised her head abruptly, "Aunt Wang..."

"Xiao Jiao did the right thing."

Aunt Wang interrupted her, and she raised her hand to touch Meng Jiao's soft hair.

"I was young too, and I know that the footsteps that never stop are called youth, go forward bravely, and don't be afraid of difficulties and obstacles.

As long as you are indestructible, all obstacles will be easily solved. "

"Aunt Wang, thank you." Meng Jiao threw herself into Aunt Wang's arms, her nose was sour, and her eyes were red from disappointment.

Aunt Wang patted her on the back, silently letting Meng Jiao vent her emotions.

the next day.

Meng Jiao packed a few changes of clothes, dry food made from yesterday's steamed buns, and a water bottle. These were her burdens.

While she was arranging her clothes.

Seeing the ocean that Aunt Wang stuffed in her pocket, Meng Jiao didn't take it, but put it back in the jar where she usually put money.

"Aunt Wang, there will be a period later, and I will definitely come back to find you."

When she finds Pei Xiao, she will come and take Aunt Wang to enjoy the blessings.

Aunt Wang smiled and said, "Be careful on the road, don't hurry when it's dark."

"Don't worry, I'll remember. Aunt Wang, you should take care of yourself too."

Meng Jiao responded as she walked.

Aunt Wang leaned against the door frame and watched for a long time, until she couldn't see the figure clearly, she was still in a daze.

After several days of driving, Meng Jiao finally arrived at Picheng.

There is a lot of traffic here, the hawkers are constantly shouting, and all kinds of new gadgets are dazzling.

Meng Jiao was not interested in any of this.

She went straight to the pawn shop and took off the jadeite bracelet from Mrs. Meng's wrist.

night.

Fulai Inn.

Meng Jiao ate a bowl of plain noodles at the stall and came to the inn to stay.

In order to travel safely, she dressed up in disguise, and the clothes on her body belonged to Aunt Wang's son.

As long as you are not particularly sharp-eyed, you will not be able to recognize her as a daughter at a glance.

Meng Jiao did this because she didn't want to cause trouble along the way.

"Xiaoer, I want to ask, do you have hot water here?"

The waiter in the shop saw Meng Jiao's thoughts at a glance, "Does the guest want to take a bath?" He said cleverly: "We have a big bathhouse in the backyard. It's very cheap, and you can take a bath for a few copper coins."

He took the opportunity to sell the business.

Meng Jiao waved her hand, "Thank you for your kindness, it's not that the convenience is cheap, it's that I'm a bit of a clean freak and don't like to wash with others.

You just need to tell me where there is hot water, and I will get it myself. "

"There are in the kitchen."

As soon as the waiter heard that there was no hope of earning extra money, his enthusiasm plummeted. He raised his finger and turned around to receive other customers.

Remembering the way, Meng Jiao first went to the room to put down the burden, and took the wooden basin in the room, and she went to the kitchen to bring a basin full of water.

She checked the surroundings carefully and made sure there was nothing suspicious. She blew out the candles in the lantern, and came to the wooden tub in the dark.

Meng Jiao took off her coat, stretched her hands behind her back, and untied the knot of the long cloth.

The little rabbit who had been restrained for a few days suddenly jumped out.

She wrung out the towel and started wiping her arms.

"Oh!"

"Who?"

A slight sound came, and Meng Jiao hurriedly folded her hands on her chest, scanning the night like a frightened bird, in the pitch black night, she couldn't see her fingers.

There was a faint smell of blood in the air.

Meng Jiao's back tensed.

Suddenly, she felt a chill behind her, and a figure appeared behind Meng Jiao, and a gun was pressed against her butterfly bone.

The sound of pulling the trigger is very clear in the extremely quiet night.

"Don't move, don't shout." The man's voice was deep and ruthless.
