Shen Ruolan took a few more breaths, and when her breathing was even, she stepped forward bravely and handed over the basket in her hand: "Uncle, I don't have any money right now, can I put this on you? Redeem it."

The man driving the car looked at the things in the basket, and his expression suddenly turned ugly: "Little girl, I don't have rules about collecting things. If everyone takes some junk that has no place to store in the car, then my business will still be good." Do you want to do it?"

Shen Ruolan suddenly felt hot on his face, as if he had been slapped in the face, but he continued to discuss with the driver brazenly, "Uncle, I really have something urgent, so you can do it conveniently, I promise, I will wait for you when I come back." Pay back the money when it's time."

The driver didn't believe Shen Ruolan's words at all, he waved his hand impatiently: "Don't talk about those useless, if you have money, come up, if you don't have money, don't waste your time by whining."

After finishing speaking, he jumped to sit on the shaft of the chariot, raised his whip and was about to leave.

Seeing that he was going to leave, Shen Ruolan became impatient. If she couldn't enter the city, she would have traveled such a long distance in vain. The most important thing is that if she couldn't enter the city, she would have no way to find money to do business. All her plans would be exhausted. Unable to implement.

In desperation, she ran a few steps to block in front of the car, pulled the horse's bridle and begged, "Please, uncle, please be accommodating. I really have important things to do, and I will never ride in the car for nothing." of!"

The skinny little girl, with big dark eyes, begged one uncle at a time, almost everyone would soften their hearts, but this driver was a piece of shit, not only did not agree, but also became angry.

"Go away, don't talk about it, I still say the same thing, come up if you have money, stay cool if you don't have money."

An old lady in the car couldn't stand it anymore, and persuaded the driver, "Shuanzi, look at this poor girl, everyone has a rare time, so you can help me!"

"That's right. Look at how much space this child can take up because he's so skinny. He's not heavy and won't tire your horse. Just show kindness and help this girl." Some people chimed in.

"It's convenient for others, it's convenient for you, Boss Che, you should just be accommodating once..."

Everyone was trying to persuade them, but when the driver saw that everyone was looking at the little girl, he stared anxiously, and shouted: "What do you mean by that? I'm not good at heart? You guys are good-hearted. Help her pay the fare, why do you ask me to be kind? You are good people. I do this business all year round. If I see anyone who is pitiful, I will show kindness. What do we eat and drink as a family? Are you feeding me?"

Seeing that the driver was on fire, everyone silently shut up and stopped meddling in their own business.

Seeing that there was no hope, Shen Ruolan was in a hurry when a voice suddenly came from the car saying, "Let me pay for her!"

Shen Ruolan was startled, and followed the voice to look over.

But I saw a young man of eighteen or nineteen years old sitting there. He was burly, with broad shoulders, and was wearing patched coarse cloth clothes. Not that kind of dark, but a wild wheat color with a healthy luster...

Ignoring Shen Ruolan's gaze, the young man took out a few pennies from his pocket and handed them to the driver.

"Brother Shuanzi, I only carry three coins with me today, and the remaining two coins will be given to you when I sell this wild goat."

While talking, Shen Ruolan discovered a fat wild goat tied to the other side of the carriage. The wild goat lives in the deep mountains and is fast and good at climbing slopes, so it is very difficult to catch. It seems that this young man is a hunter, and he is still What a nice hunter!

"It's easy to say, I can't trust others, can't I trust you?"

The driver took the three pennies handed over by the young man, carefully put them into a pocket and tied them up, then turned to Shen Ruolan and said, "Little girl, come up, count your luck, there are really kind-hearted people who are kind enough to help you. "

He said the last sentence very seriously, and he deliberately glanced at the few people who pleaded for Shen Ruolan just now, it was embarrassing for them.

"Hey, here we come!"

As soon as Shen Ruolan heard that she was able to get in the car, she quickly climbed up with all her hands and feet. As for the people who drove the car to run on the people who helped her just now, she was unable to protect them for the time being. She could only repay them when she became stronger in the future.

There are already seven or eight people in the car, and everyone has a basket or something in front of them. They should be going to the county market to sell things. The car is crowded with people and things, making the carriage look full. , There is no place for her to sit at all.

Just as she was searching far away, the aunt who had begged for her earlier moved her butt to the side, waved to Shen Ruolan and said, "Little girl, sit here."

"Thank you ma'am!"

Shen Ruolan gratefully thanked the aunt, and after sitting down, she said to the young man who helped her pay, "Thank you, brother, today is thanks to you."

The young man was probably not used to being thanked by others, nor used to being treated as a benefactor, so his face blushed slightly, he said "it's okay", and turned his face away.

The carriage set off, and the wheels gurgled along the village road, kicking up dust. The road in Taohua Village was not difficult to walk. It was paved with loess and then tamped down. It was smooth and not at all difficult. bumpy.

The aunt next to her was talkative, after Shen Ruolan thanked her, she seemed to have a good impression of this polite little girl, so she chatted with her with a smile.

"Little girl, which village are you from?"

"Ma'am, I'm from Shantun." Shen Ruolan replied politely.

"Oh, you're from the mountain village, so whose family do you belong to?" The aunt's eyes lit up, and when she said this, she even glanced at the young man inside.

To be honest, Shen Ruolan really didn't want to mention her unbelievable father to others, and she didn't want others to know that she was his daughter, but it was too embarrassing not to answer the question, so she had to bite the bullet and say: "My father is Shen Dejian."

"Oh, is it Shen Wanshan's second son? That's a coincidence!"

The aunt was startled, turned her face to the young man inside and smiled and said, "Er Yong, do you hear me? This is a girl from Shen's second family. Where is your sister-in-law? It seems that the few pennies you have today are considered to be It’s not in vain, it’s spent on my own family!”

Shen Ruolan was stunned for a moment, and immediately realized that this kind-hearted young man should be the second boy of the old Zhang family whose cousin never married.

Zhang Eryong also understood, his face that had just recovered suddenly became a little angry, he frowned, his lips were tightly pursed into a line, and the two big hands on his knees were also clenched into fists, clenched tightly It was tight, but he didn't say a word.

Shen Ruolan is sweating, her cousin has been looking for death for several days, crying and howling and insisting on retiring, the old Zhang's family must have heard the news, otherwise Zhang Eryong would not have such an expression.

But the aunt who spoke was not winking, and Zhang Eryong's face was dark here, and she didn't see it, but she still muttered to herself: "I heard that you two will get married at the end of the year, tsk tsk, you are so lucky, old Shen's family That big girl is famous for being a handsome girl, there is no other girl in our family who can compare to her (balabala... )
