Finding someone is always a hassle.
If you have a wide range of friends and are well-informed, it may be much more convenient to find another person. Even if you don't have any friends to help you, and you don't have any news, looking for someone is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
In the hot summer, on a deserted mountain road, a girl in blue is on her way.
She was going to find a man who almost became his husband. However, due to some changes, they failed to get married in the end.
The world is treacherous, and it is inherently dangerous for a weak woman to be alone. But she was not worried about herself. Instead, she was more worried about the person he was looking for, because the person he was looking for couldn't take care of her at all.
He is a fool.
She's going to find a fool.
The fool she was looking for almost became her husband.
She didn't know where he had gone. She just relied on her own feelings and searched randomly. She had been searching for ten days and still had no clue. But she had no intention of giving up and continued to search.
Because the weather was too hot, there was no pedestrian on the mountain road except for the girl in blue.
She was very tired from walking, so she leaned under a tree to enjoy the shade, and took out a kettle to drink some water. She had been walking for ten consecutive days, and her feet had developed blisters. Moreover, the weather was very hot, which was not suitable for traveling. She really couldn't walk. She leaned against a tree, wanting to take a nap before continuing on her way.
In the haze, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came from the distance, and a carriage came leisurely, walked in front of her, and stopped unexpectedly.
Three people got out of the car, a middle-aged couple and a little boy, and walked to the girl in blue. The woman looked at it carefully and then said to her husband: "It seems that this girl is really tired. Why don't we give her a ride!"
The husband objected: "We can't take care of ourselves, so how can we take care of her? Don't ask for trouble."
The woman scolded: "How come you don't have any sympathy at all? How dangerous it is for a girl to be alone in this barren mountain! If you don't take her away, I will take her myself."
The little boy also said: "Dad! Take this sister with you! She is a good person."
The man scolded: "How do you know she is a good person?" But after all, he couldn't resist his wife and children, so he paused and then changed his words: "Okay, okay! It's up to you, take her with you!"
The woman got her husband's consent, so she gently woke the girl up and said, "Sister, why did you fall asleep here alone?"
The woman opened her eyes and saw a couple with a child, so she was not afraid and replied: "I went out to find someone. When I was tired from walking, I rested for a while on the side of the road and fell asleep for some reason. "
The woman asked: "Where are you going? If you are on your way, we will give you a ride."
The woman said gratefully: "Thank you for your kindness, sister! However, I don't know where to go."
The woman continued: "Well, it's better than this. Not far ahead, there is a crossroads, which is a thoroughfare. There are a few inns next to it where you can rest. I will take you there. You stay there for one night and think about it tomorrow. Wherever you go, you go. Is this okay?"
Seeing that the woman was speaking very sincerely and without any ill intentions, the woman agreed: "That's the best, I just don't want to disturb you."
The woman smiled and said: "What are you talking about, sister? I am out and about, no one has any trouble, no need to disturb me." As she spoke, she took the woman into the carriage, and the little boy came in too, leaving only her husband in front to drive the carriage. .
The woman took out some dry food from her bag and handed it to the woman, then asked, "Sister, what is your name? Who are you looking for?"
When the little boy saw it, he quickly shouted: "I want it too."
"Here you go." The woman handed some to the boy.
The woman replied: "My name is Wei Yan. I'm looking for... to find... my... husband?" She spoke hesitantly, obviously a little embarrassed.
The woman asked, "Is your husband doing business outside?"
Wei Yan didn't know how to answer, so she just shook her head.
The woman said again: "Oh! He's a grown man running around and he can't die. Is there any need for you to go out alone to find him? I think you should go home and wait! He will come home when he is done with his work. Looking for you. Although a man is wild-minded, he will still go home after having enough fun."
Wei Yan explained in a low voice: "He...has some...brain...problems. He ran away from home and was alone outside. He couldn't take care of himself." By saying this, she had obviously begun to face reality and accepted Tang Zhong. Foolish husband, even though they haven't really worshiped each other yet.
"Oh! That's it!" The woman understood immediately.
Wei Yan asked: "Sister, where are you going?"
The woman replied: "My husband is doing business in the city and has lost a lot of money. He has no choice but to go back to the countryside to farm! My home will be arriving soon, why don't you come and sit there too."
Wei Yan shook her head and said: "No, I still have to go find him!"
The woman praised: "It doesn't matter, there are really not many good girls like you nowadays."
Although the carriage didn't move very fast, it was still much faster than walking. It didn't take long for them to arrive at the crossroads the woman had mentioned.
The woman got out of the car and took Wei Yan to an inn. Then she said to Wei Yan, "Girl, this inn is cheaper. You can stay here for one night."
The man tied up the carriage and came in with a knife on his shoulder. He said loudly: "Boss, cook two side dishes quickly."
When the shopkeeper saw the man, he immediately greeted the man with a smile and said: "Fan Captou, it turns out you are here! How disrespectful! You sit down first, the food will be here soon. Do you want a drink?"
The man replied: "No, I have to go on my way."
The shopkeeper asked: "Are you going back to your hometown?"
The man just said "hmm" and said nothing more. Just as the shopkeeper was about to go in and make arrangements, the man suddenly stopped him and said, "If anyone asks, don't say you've seen me." After that, he threw five taels of silver to the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper smiled broadly and said, "Yes, I understand."
The woman helped Wei Yan arrange a room, and then she and her son came over to sit. Wei Yan also heard the conversation between the shopkeeper and the man just now, and she was a little confused: "The eldest sister said that her husband was in business, why did the shopkeeper call him 'Fan Baotou'?" Wei Yan is a smart person, she knows what's going on. There must be something hidden, so I didn’t ask any more questions.
Wei Yan and the man's family ate randomly, and then said goodbye. Wei Yan returned to her room, while the man continued on his way with his wife and children.
Wei Yan sat in the room for a while, and was just about to take a nap on the bed, when suddenly there was a knock on the door, and the knock was very urgent. Wei Yan hurriedly opened the door and saw the man's family again. The man and the woman looked very nervous.
Wei Yan asked: "Why are you back again?"
The man replied: "It's hard to explain in words." As he spoke, he had already entered the room, closed the door, and locked it.
