Started as a thatched house and ended up as a female figure

Early the next morning, two carriages parked one after another outside the yard of Cheng Erniu's house.

Wang opened the curtain, and Cheng Daniu stuffed two thick quilts into the compartments of the two carriages.

“If it’s too cold to bear on the road, put a quilt over yourself to avoid catching the cold.

Be more tolerant in everything outside, and don't easily get into conflicts with others. The most important thing is that you two are safe.

Cheng Wan nodded heavily, "I understand, mother."

Mrs. Lin walked back and forth, tugging at Cheng Wan's cloak, and feeling whether the clothes on Cheng Erping and Deng Xiong were thick enough.

"Oh, why am I so worried?

The further north you go, the colder it becomes.

Even if you are not allowed to go, you still have to go.

You guys must take care of yourselves, don't worry about local products and leather, and come back as soon as the things are done. "

Several adults in the Cheng family have guessed that Cheng Wan's trip to Yingqiu is probably related to Yan Qiu.

But Cheng Wan always had big ideas, so Mrs. Lin and the others didn't stop him from going.

Cheng Wan was wearing a blue cloak and hat that Wang had sewn for her. Only a smiling face and a pair of feet wearing cotton boots were exposed.

"Nai, don't worry, we'll be back soon."

Mrs. Lin waved her hand, "Okay, let's go quickly, so as not to not reach the next city before dark."

Except for Yanqiu who can't drive at the moment, Cheng Wan, Cheng Erping, and Deng Xiong alternately drive.

Cheng Wan and Yan Qiu got on the carriage in front, and Cheng Erping was temporarily responsible for driving the carriage.

Deng Xiong was temporarily responsible for driving the carriage behind.

Cheng Wan pulled the car curtain, "Dad, the shop owner will deliver the custom-made furniture to our family in three days. You can accept it."

There are also things grown in the shed. Dad, please remember to check them every day. If you feel that it is not warm inside, build a small stove in the shed. After setting up the small stove, you must remember to ventilate it. "

Cheng Daniu smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, don't worry about things at home, take care of yourself outside."

The two carriages clattered away, and Mrs. Lin and the others stood at the gate of the courtyard without moving for a long time.

Here, some distance away from Pingnan Village, Cheng Erping suddenly drove the carriage and shouted several times like a wild horse that had escaped the reins.

"Ah Wan, except for the time when I was fleeing, this is the first time I have traveled far away!

It’s better to drive a carriage for a long journey!

Isn't this just like playing when you have food and drink and don't have to walk on your own? !

It's just that the time is too short, only eight days. "

At the end, Cheng Erping shook his head with regret.

In the car, Cheng Wan raised his eyebrows slightly. He had just left home, so of course he felt that the time away from home was short.

"Second brother, in a few days, you might start to miss home before we even get there."

Sure enough, on the third day after Cheng Wan and the others left home, as they were approaching Yingqiu, Cheng Erping began to miss home.

"Awan, what do you think they are doing right now?"

Cheng Wan swallowed the soup in his mouth and said, "They should be making lunch. The four of us had lunch today and had breakfast.

Second brother, are you homesick? "

Cheng Erping scratched his face and said, "It's fun to travel far away, but I can't see Nai and the others, so I always feel a little empty."

Just as Cheng Wan was about to say something comforting, she heard Cheng Erping say in high spirits: "But rather than staying at home, I'd rather come out and have a look!

Ah Wan, remember to call me next time you go away. "

"Uh-huh!"

Deng Xiong sucked the noodles and nodded vigorously. It was obvious that he agreed with what Cheng Erping said.

Cheng Wan smiled and said, "Let's start from this hotel and reach Yingqiu in about an hour.

After arriving at Yingqiu, we first went to Gaojia Village. "

An hour later, Cheng Erping and Deng Xiong drove two carriages past the gate of Yingqiu County.

Cheng Wan opened the car curtain and looked in the direction of the city gate.

The city wall is gray and old, and the city gate is not half as wide as the left and right gates of Shuoyang City. Only one carriage can enter and exit at a time, and there are very few people entering and exiting the city gate.

On such a cold day, the few people who entered and exited the city gate were wearing thin and shabby clothes, hunching their necks and bodies.

Cheng Wan noticed that some people's sallow and thin faces were already turning purple from the cold.

Cheng Wan withdrew his gaze and lowered the car curtain.

There are too many poor people in this world, and she can't help them now.

You can't just give them money, right?

More than half an hour later, Cheng Wan and the others were very close to Gaojiacun.

"Second brother, please stop the carriage here."

Cheng Wan got off the carriage and gathered his cloak.

"Awan, why don't we go directly to the village?"

Deng Xiong came over from behind and asked doubtfully.

In Deng Xiong's mind, the four of them should have driven the carriage directly into the village, found Yanqiu's house, rushed in, snatched Yanqiu's brother, and took him away.

Anyone who dares to stop him will be beaten.

Cheng Wan shook his head, "Find someone to ask about the situation first.

Second brother, take this candy and sneak into the village and coax a child to come over. "

Cheng Wan handed Cheng Erping a handful of candies wrapped in oil paper. She said nothing more. Cheng Wan believed that Cheng Erping could understand what she meant.

Cheng Erping did not disappoint Cheng Wan.

Cheng Wan and the three of them had just been waiting beside the carriage for about half a quarter of an hour when Cheng Erping and his two children appeared in their sight.

"Yanqiu, you go first into the carriage."

Yanqiu didn't ask a word, turned around and quickly got into the carriage and got into the carriage.

"Awan."

Cheng Erping brought the two children to Cheng Wan and Deng Xiong.

The two children looked to be seven or eight years old. They were both boys. They were wearing cotton coats with several patches and were very thin.

Cheng Wan nodded. The conditions at home for these two children should be pretty good, at least not in the worst category.

Because although the two children are thin, they still wear cotton clothes.

Cheng Wan and Deng Xiong were looking at the two children, and the two children were also looking at Cheng Wan and Deng Xiong curiously.

However, when their eyes glanced at Deng Xiong, they clearly shrank their necks.

Deng Xiong's appearance is quite bluffing.

Cheng Wan gathered her cloak and knelt down with a gentle smile on her face, "Don't be afraid, we are not bad people."

After speaking, Cheng Wan was silent for a moment.

She felt like what she just said didn't sound like a good person.

Cheng Wan decided to be more direct, "Do you know Lu Chunlai?"

Lu Chunlai is the name of Yanqiu's younger brother.

The two children looked at each other, and the slightly taller child nodded, "I know him. Who are you?"

"I'm his sister's friend."

"His sister?!"

The two children screamed in surprise.

“But didn’t his sister ask his father to sell her?

In order to stop his father, Lu Chunlai was beaten so hard that his head bled! "

Cheng Wan's expression changed, and she pretended to be very anxious and worried, "How could this happen? When his sister and I separated last time, we were still fine!"
