A Ray Of Light At The End Of The Tunnel

Bang Bang Bang!

Not only did the cart fall, but the things on top of it also fell to the ground.

Then, there was a rustling sound, and the cart fell apart.

One of the wheels fell on the left, the other on the right, and two pieces of the guardrail of the handcart had also jolted out.

Hong Xiaolang sat on the ground, feeling dizzy from the fall and wailing.

"Aiyo!" This time, it was Hong Guangyi who cried out in pain.

He didn't manage to grab onto the cart and fell down along with it, landing on his butt!

He looked up and saw a fertile field on the other side of the mountain. In the field, a few farmers were bending over to work.

There was a young man on the side of the road, carrying two baskets. His mouth was wide open as he looked over at the broken carriage with a dumbfounded look.

There was a ten-year-old boy beside the young man. The boy stared at Hong Xiaolang and clapped his hands as he laughed, "Dirty child, snot, snot bubbles, dirty face, cry, cry, cry, shame, shame, hehehe!"

Hong Xiaolang was speechless.

Hong Xiaolang's dirty face turned red in an instant. He stood up from the ground with his hands bound. He stopped crying and only widened his eyes, glaring at the child.

The child made a face. "Teehee teehee..."

Aiyo, this really made Hong Xiaolang angry!

Hong Guangyi saw that Hong Xiaolang could still stand up smoothly and still had the strength to be angry. He knew that his fall should not be serious and was relieved.

He rubbed his butt and stood up. At this time, Shi Hong also limped up from behind. Behind him, Mu Sanniang and Cheng Ling carefully controlled the carriage and also went down the mountain.

When the young man carrying a pole by the side of the road saw so many people coming down the mountain all of a sudden, and these people even had horses and carriages, he immediately scolded the child beside him, "Stupid child, shut up!"

Then, he looked at Cheng Ling and the others and asked directly, "You came down from the mountain? Why did you come down from the mountain?"

Cheng Ling took a step forward and said, "Yeah, it's not easy to climb the mountain."

These words resonated with the young man. He nodded repeatedly and said in agreement, "That's right, that's right. You guys can actually flip it over. That's amazing!"

Because of this resonance, the distance between the two sides was shortened.

Cheng Ling started asking him about the specific location and how far Yun An County was from here.

As she spoke, she didn't forget to observe her surroundings.

He saw tall mountains behind him, but fertile soil in front of him. Further away, the faint outline of green mountains could be seen. Under the light of the setting sun, they looked extremely beautiful.

The farmers were working in an orderly manner. At the end of the eastern field, there seemed to be the green shadows of houses, the cries of chickens and dogs, and the rising smoke.

Such an ordinary countryside scene almost instantly broke Cheng Ling's defense.

After seeing the desolation and the near-death slaughter, Cheng Ling almost thought that the world was broken.

The voices and smoke in front of her were so rare that it even made her feel dazed for a moment.

That's great, at least this place hasn't been affected by war or disaster.

The young man with a pole told her, "This is Yun An County. After leaving the village, walk north for ten miles and you'll be in the county. Do you have relatives in the county?"

Yun An County was ten miles to the North!

Before Cheng Ling could react, Cheng Ernii's eyes were already wet with joy.

"Yes, yes, yes, we're going to Yun An County!" She couldn't help but interrupt.

Third Aunt Mu had also been quietly observing the young man. Seeing that his eyes were constantly looking at the hairpin on the ground, her heart suddenly moved, and she hurriedly said, "Little brother, do you want this hairpin?"

The carrying pole youth let out an "ah" sound, but his face revealed a stunned expression.

"We don't need money," Third Aunt Mu quickly said, "Just use two, no, three roe deers in exchange for us to rest at your house for a night. How about it?" Let us eat some soft soup and rice, and prepare some hot water for us to wash up and feed the horses. That's all!"

This... This was indeed a success! This was good, this was simply too good.

Before the young man could answer, the child beside him cheered, "Oh! Great, there's meat to eat tonight! Big brother, Big brother, Quickly agree!"

The young man's family was a big one. He had five brothers. He was the eldest, called Wang Dazhu. The child beside him was the fourth, called Wang Sidun.

Wang Dazhu and his second son, Wang ermiao, were already married and had children. In short, there were more than a dozen people in the family, enough to spare two rooms to entertain Cheng Ling and the others.

Cheng Ling and the rest led their horses and followed Wang Dazhu and his brother into the village.

Along the way, they attracted many villagers to watch, especially many people who showed particularly curious and envious expressions at the two horses. There were also children running back and forth, wishing they could climb onto the horse's back and sit down.

There was no need to mention how lively it was.

Cheng Ernii was so excited that she whispered to Cheng Ling, "Brother Ling, this place is lively. This is great. I like this place."

Who wouldn't like it? Cheng Ling also liked it.

If it wasn't for the fact that she was worried about King Linhai's rebellion, Cheng Ling would have stopped here and settled down.

However, he was afraid that the peace in front of him was just a dream. In the blink of an eye, war was coming, and all the good things would be turned into nothing.

In the Wang family, the group was warmly received.

At night, the Wang family killed one roe deer, but the five roe deers that Cheng Ling and the others put in the carriage were not dead.

Cheng Ling had only knocked them out before, then tied the roe deers up with a straw rope and crossed the mountains to bring them here. A living roe deer was fresher than a dead one. They could be killed and eaten on the spot, so there was no need to worry about rotting.

However, Juan Zi had been tied up tightly and had not been fed, so she probably would not live for long.

"There are still two more. I'll bring them to the county to sell tomorrow," Old Master Wang said. He then asked Cheng Ling and the others, "Little brother, are you going to sell your hairpin in the county tomorrow? If you want to sell it, I'll ask my eldest son to show you the way."

This is great!

With the locals leading the way to Yun An County, how could he not agree?

"Thank you, old man. I'll have to trouble Brother Wang then," Cheng Ling hurriedly said.

Wang Dazhu laughed, "No trouble, no trouble."

After dinner, everyone washed up and settled down.

Cheng Ling had finally washed her first head since coming to this world. Of course, it wasn't easy to take her first bath. She didn't dare to say it, as it would only bring her tears.

She deliberately chose to take a shower last and then hid in the Wang family's bathroom alone. She took out the travel-wear shampoo and shower gel from her backpack and washed up.

He rubbed his body five times, but his head... Heh, he was too embarrassed to mention his head.

In any case, even modern shampoo wouldn't be able to completely wash off lice.

Cheng Ling could only endure it for now. She planned to go to Yun An County tomorrow. After finding out the route and restocking her supplies, she would definitely go to the pharmacy and get some lice medicine!
