The next day, Shen Shiqi and his companions appeared in the town where Yue'er had stayed before. They walked around the town and said, "According to the news, the little girl was last seen in this town. Now it seems that she is not in this town. However, this place is easy to find. There is only one road going south out of the town."
"In that case, let's go! To the south is the big city. I think the little girl should be a member of a family in that city. This should make it easier to find her." Another person said with a smile, glanced at the people around him, and continued to move forward.
At this time, Yue'er might have thought that they would not be able to find her, so she slowed down her pace a little and was not so tired. Until the evening, she saw that it was getting dark, and there was a village in front of her. There were corns planted around the village, so she thought of going there to rest and find something to eat.
However, because she was dressed as a beggar, some naughty kids in the village threw stones at her and chased her away before she even got close.
"Go away! Go away! You stinky beggar, you are not allowed to come to our village." The children in the village threw small stones at the little beggar, cursing and driving him away.
Yue Er was stunned for a moment. Seeing the stone thrown at her, she quickly dodged and retreated, shouting, "Don't throw stones at me, don't throw them at me!"
"Little beggar, get out of here! You are not allowed to come to our village! Hurry up and leave, or I will release Da Huang to bite you." A naughty child shouted, and even turned around and shouted: "Da Huang, Da Huang, come out quickly!"
Yue Er looked and saw a big yellow dog running out, barking at her. Seeing the big yellow dog running towards her, she quickly backed away without thinking, shouting, "Take care of your dog! Otherwise I'll kill it and eat it!"
"Dang Huang bite him, Da Huang bite him!" The naughty kids cheered, shouting and clapping their hands, looking excited.
Yue Er turned and ran. After running for a distance, she saw an old beggar walking towards the village with a branch as a crutch. Seeing this, she warned him: "The children there won't let beggars get close, and there is a big yellow dog that will bite people. Old beggar, run!"
The old beggar glanced at her and smiled: "You run first, I'll go get some food." Then he continued walking forward.
Yue'er ignored the situation and ran to the mountain trail first. After she had run a long distance, she saw that the big yellow dog was no longer chasing her, so she found a place to rest in the woods beside the trail.
"These kids are so mean, they bully others." She muttered, raised her sleeve to wipe the sweat off her face, took out some water from the space to drink, and then took out some eatable food from the space.
Seeing that there were only cakes and dried meat, she frowned and sighed silently: "I really want to eat, not cakes and dried meat."
After all, the food on the road was always casual, and he got tired of eating too much cakes and dried meat, so he just stuffed the food back, took out a fruit to eat, and then jumped onto the tree to sleep.
It was quite quiet in the grove, with only the faint rustling of leaves when the wind blew. However, after an unknown amount of time, the aroma of meat filled the air in the woods. Yue'er, who had eaten only one fruit and then closed her eyes to sleep, could not help swallowing her saliva. She opened her eyes, sat up, and looked around.
