"Where are you headed?" The farmer asked.
"To Li Village!" Liuliu answered.
"It's 40 coins each time, but if that's too much for you, you can wait here a bit, see if more people are going our way. If you pool in 40 coins together, it wouldn't be that expensive then," the farmer replied candidly.
Well, what an idea! One can get a ride or carpool! Let's get a ride then! Ancient people were honest, and there's no need to haggle over it. It would be a waste of time for the others if they also had to wait, and she wanted to go back and see the mountains. Xiaoquan should be awake by now! You could ask him to accompany you on your hike!
"Uncle, I'm in a hurry, 40 coins it is! Let's get going!" Liuliu replied. Her main aim was to adapt to the life here as fast as she could and to familiarize herself with the surroundings.
