It was also the first time for Xiao Shizi Mo Ling to talk to a stranger, so he couldn't help feeling a little guilty, so he stood against the wall and was ready to let the old man and the ox cart pass first.

Suddenly, he raised his head and looked at the old man softly, and said with some uncertainty, "Uncle, did you just say you were leaving the city?"

The old man nodded, and looked at Mo Ling with his cloudy pupils, showing a strange expression.He probably thinks that Mo Ling must have bad ears.

"My old man lives in Caijiazhuang outside the city. He came to the city to pick up some rotten vegetables so that he could take them back to feed the pigs."

"Great! Uncle, can you take me out of the city? I don't remember the way. Hehe..." Mo Ling scratched his head again, a little embarrassed.

"I want to hitch a ride!" Seeing Mo Ling nod his head, the old man looked at his ox cart with some embarrassment. "It's fine, but my bullock cart... as long as you don't think it's dirty!"

"Not too dirty, not too dirty! Hee hee...Thank you uncle!"

Mo Ling smiled brightly, and climbed onto the bullock cart clumsily.Seeing this, the old man quickly gave him a hand, and then he climbed into the bullock cart smoothly.

"Just sit on this licorice, this licorice is still clean."

The old man pulled over the cattle feed on the cart, patted and motioned Mo Ling to sit over.Mo Ling was not pretentious, and kicked away the vegetable leaves next to the cattle feed, and made a place to sit on.

Speaking of picking up vegetables and leaves, there are actually two slop buckets more than half a meter high on the bullock cart.

In order not to let the guards of the palace see him, Mo Ling moved the cattle feed between the two slop buckets, and hid between the two slop buckets to escape the guards of the palace.

All the way without a word, Mo Ling left the capital smoothly in an ox cart. Although the ox cart was full of rotten vegetables and slops, but fortunately it was still cold, so it didn't smell that strong, but it looked a little dirty Just chaos.

Sitting on the bullock cart, watching the city gate gradually distance himself from him, Mo Ling felt inexplicably excited. This was the first time he had left the palace and the capital, and he was both excited and uneasy.

"Young man, we're leaving the city, you don't need to hide!" The old man's sudden opening startled Mo Ling, his cloudy eyes looked back at Mo Ling on the cart, and stopped the ox cart.

Mo Ling was taken aback, and stood up from the bullock cart in embarrassment, lowering his head like a child who has done something wrong, "How does Uncle know that I am hiding from people?"

"My old man has crossed more bridges than you have traveled. Although his eyes are not working well, he is not confused!" The old man smiled and looked at Mo Ling while holding his whip.

Mo Ling was even more embarrassing, his cheeks were hot, and he wanted to jump off the bullock cart in a hurry.

"Yes, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to lie to Uncle. Ah~~~"

Inadvertently, Mo Ling stepped on a rotten vegetable leaf, and with his screams, he fell heavily on the ox cart.Fortunately, there are those rotten vegetable leaves to cushion it, so it doesn't hurt that much.

It's just that the suit he was wearing was more tragic, stained with the green juice of rotten vegetables into a splashed ink painting.

Seeing that Mo Ling seemed to have fallen hard, the old man quickly climbed into the bullock cart and helped Mo Ling sit up.

"Are you okay? You kid too, my old man didn't even count what you mean, why are you so careless!"

"Hehe~~ I was not careful, uncle doesn't need to care."

Mo Ling smiled awkwardly, and was helped out of the bullock cart by the old man.

After checking that there was nothing wrong with Mo Ling, the old man asked, "Where are you going?"

Mo Ling, who had never been out of the palace, knew that Tsing Yi had left the capital, but he really didn't know where he was going.

The old man looked at the sky, saw Mo Ling hesitating and said: "It's getting late today, why don't you come to my house to stay overnight, you see you don't even have an animal to replace your feet, after passing Caijiazhuang, you will be in the next town There's still some way to go."

Upon hearing this, Mo Ling nodded happily, "Then thank you very much, Uncle!"

In fact, to be honest, if my son really let him leave alone at this time, I'm really a little nervous, and besides, it's really getting late.

I didn't expect to meet a kind uncle who took him in on the first day he ran away from home. He was really lucky.Otherwise, I'm afraid he will really sleep in the wilderness.

Once again, he got on the old man's ox cart and wandered back to Cai's village. The sky was already glowing red, and nothing happened along the way. When Mo Ling chatted with the old man, he knew that the old man's surname was not Cai, but Tian.

There are no children in the family, and they depend on each other for life with their wife. The two usually rely on raising chickens, ducks and geese for a living.

"Here~ This is my home!"

As he said that, Tian Bo jumped off the ox cart and shouted to his family: "Old woman, there are guests!"

Mo Ling also jumped out of the bullock cart a little shyly, looking at the simple thatched hut with doubts for a while.

Is this where people live?But he looked as if he was not as strong as the livestock barn in the palace.

"Uncle Tian, ​​is this your home?"

As soon as Mo Ling finished speaking, an old woman with white hair and patched clothes, but very neat and tidy came out of the house.

"Old man, what did you say just now? ... Who is this?" Tian's mother-in-law's eyes were not very good, and she saw Mo Ling when she walked up to her, and turned her head to ask Uncle Tian.

Uncle Tian took out a bag from his bosom, stuffed it bulgingly into Grandma Tian's hand, pointed to Mo Ling and said, "His name is Mo Ling, it's getting late today, he's staying at our house for a night, you'll be here later." Prepare more food!"

"Hello, mother-in-law!"

"Eh!"

Grandma Tian, ​​who had no children in her life and never enjoyed the joy of children and grandchildren, saw that Mo Ling was well-behaved, and immediately responded with a kind smile. She completely regarded Mo Ling as her own child, and stretched out her hand to pull Mo Ling into the house.

Tian Bo suddenly thought of what happened when Mo Ling fell just now, and while unhooking the ox from the harness, he said, "Let Mo Ling change his clothes first, I accidentally fell on the car on the way back just now."

Upon hearing this, Granny Tian hurriedly looked Mo Ling up and down, and asked with concern: "Did the child fall somewhere? Show Granny."

"Thank you mother-in-law, I'm fine, I'm really fine!"

Mo Ling felt warm in his heart. Although he was a child in the palace, although his father loved him very much, he had never felt a mother's love. He suddenly felt that Granny Tian's hands were so warm. It can make him feel an inexplicable peace of mind.

"As long as it's okay, as long as it's okay! Otherwise, I can't spare him, a bad old man!"

After saying that, Granny Tian took a look at Uncle Tian, ​​who cheerfully continued to do the work in hand, and the small fenced yard was peaceful and happy.

When Mo Ling changed his clothes and came out, Granny Tian had already prepared the meals, and Uncle Tian was washing his hands and preparing to eat.When the two old men saw Mo Ling come out after changing clothes, they both told him to sit down quickly and prepare to eat.

Looking at the simple two dishes and one soup on the table, Mo Ling's attention was immediately attracted by the dishes on the plate.

He had never seen those dishes before, no, it should be said that even if he had seen them, he didn't know what they were.

Especially there is a black thing like a shuttle next to it, which looks like a stone.Mo Ling poked it curiously with his hand, it was hard and not flexible, so he didn't dare to pick it up.

"Grandma, what is this?"
