"Sir, I've already missed Sutou today. I'm afraid I can only stay one night in the village ahead."
"Hmph, it's all Xiaobai's fault. He got a bad stomach from eating on the road!" Cui'er muttered.
"Sister Cui'er, how can you blame me? There's something wrong with the fruit Xiaopang picked for me today!"
"Pfft... Who told you to be so greedy that you compete with Little Fatty to eat wild fruits?"
Several people have been out for several days. Today they left Guannai Road and came to Longyou Road.
Xiaobai had eaten badly during the day and delayed his trip. It looked like it would be dark that day, so he had to find a nearby village to stay.
We walked not far ahead, and before it got completely dark, we finally saw a shadowy village.
Lao Cui and Lao Du drove two carriages over.
At the entrance of the village, he randomly found a courtyard. Lao Cui went up and knocked on the door, but no one answered.
"That's not right, I clearly saw this house with faint lights on the carriage just now!" Lao Cui said doubtfully.
Lao Du on the other side has already lit a torch. After all, if you want to conceal your identity, you can't use those modern things, so you put the flashlight and everything in your bag.
"It's better to be in our village, it will be bright everywhere!" Xiaobai muttered, and then got hit on the back of the head.
Tang Ping gave him a warning look, and then said, "Knock on the door again!"
It just rained this afternoon, so it was really inconvenient to sleep outside directly.
"Is there anyone there?" This time it was Xiao Luo who called the door. Her sweet voice sounded much more pleasant than Lao Cui's.
Sure enough, after Xiao Luo asked, there was a reaction in the yard quickly.
There was a soft creaking sound, and the courtyard door was opened. An old man took a cautious look outside and seemed to be relieved when he saw Tang Ping and the others, old and young.
"You guys are so late, what's wrong?"
"This old man!" Tang Ping raised his hands and said, "We missed the place where we were on our way and want to stay here for a night. Don't worry, we will give you the money. All we need is a place to stay!"
The old man glanced at a few people, then finally opened the door, nodded and said, "Come in, the old man's house is small, so he may have to suffer a lot."
"Kaka

"Two times, Lao Cui and Lao Du locked up the carriage.
These two carriages were ordered by Tang Ping from the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry. The materials were all extraordinary, and as long as they were properly locked, they would not be easily opened.
Then he untied the horse and led it inside.
Tang Ping withdrew a hundred dollars and asked the old man to get some food and fodder.
The old man gave in for a while, but at Tang Ping's insistence, he accepted it.
"Dear guests, my family is poor and the only thing we have to eat is these millet rice. If you don't mind it, I will ask the old lady at home to get you some millet rice."
"Okay, we won't pick, old man!"
After leaving the Guannei Road, you can clearly feel that the quality of life of the people is more than one level worse than that on the Guannei Road.
Of course, if compared with Shanghe Village, it would be even worse.
Xiao Luo went to help prepare the food, and then Lao Cui and Lao Du fed the horse with fodder, and everyone sat together.
"What's your last name, husband? What's the name of this village?"
"It's called Huangjia Village. Most of the people in our village have the surname Huang, including the little old man!"
"Old Master Huang, you are polite." Tang Ping raised his hands and asked, "My subordinate was a little rude when he called the door just now. Didn't he scare you?"
A flash of panic flashed across Old Man Huang's face, then he shook his head and said, "No, no, it's just me and the old lady, we were sleeping a little deeply."
Tang Ping knew that he was probably lying. After all, when the carriage came just now, he saw a flickering light in the room. He probably turned off the lights when he heard the sound of his own carriage.
But he didn't point out anything, and just chatted with Old Man Huang.
Soon, dinner was ready, everyone ate and went to bed.
Old Man Huang's house didn't have many rooms, and one room was said to belong to his son. Now that his son went to work in Chang'an, the room became vacant and was given to Tang Ping and Wang Qingluan.
Then there was a guest room left for Xiaoluo and Cui'er, and then Lao Cui and Lao Du made a floor bunk in the woodshed.
Anyway, they brought out a lot of mattresses and stuff, so as long as the ground was dry and flat, you could sleep anywhere.
When I slept until midnight, I heard a noise coming from outside.
"Huang Lao Er, want to run away?"
"No no!"
"I didn't want to run away,
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
It's so late, where do you want to go? "
"I...I just..."
"I'm telling you, you can't escape by running, and hiding is useless, so take out the land deed as soon as possible to pay off the debt, and then give your daughter to us, and let this matter be over."
"No, Brother Lang, I can't do it. I really can't do it. This place is our family's last life, and my daughter is my life. I can't give it to you!"
"Ha, now you know, honey? What have you been doing so far? Okay, I won't force you. I'll give you two more days. If you don't pay back the money after two days, don't blame us for being rude!"
In the quiet night, the sounds of these conversations carried far away. Tang Ping had been riding in the car for a whole day, and his body was shaken to pieces, but he didn't wake up.
Lao Cui and Lao Du naturally heard it, but Tang Ping didn't say anything, and they didn't meddle in other people's business. Their mission was to ensure Tang Ping's safety.
The people outside seemed to pass by their yard again, paused for a moment, and then left.
Early the next morning, Tang Ping stretched out feeling refreshed and saw Wang Qingluan smiling at him.
"Come on, give me a kiss!"
"Go away, you haven't even brushed your teeth!"
The two of them were able to go out. The weather was good today. Tang Ping planned to say goodbye to Old Man Huang and hit the road.
Breakfast can be eaten in the car. Anyway, they brought a lot of bread and milk in the car.
Lao Cui came over and whispered in Tang Ping's ear, telling him what happened last night when someone seemed to be asking for debt nearby.
"A debt collector?" Tang Ping frowned. Listening to Lao Cui's description, asking someone to sell his daughter didn't seem to be that simple.
"Old Zhang Huang, I heard from my men that it wasn't very quiet outside last night?"
A trace of fear flashed across Old Man Huang's face, and he said gnawingly, "Sir, I'm old. I slept soundly last night and didn't hear any sound!"
It seems that there is something going on here, and Old Man Huang is obviously afraid of something.
"Old man Huang, we have a distinguished guest at home! Oh, this carriage looks really nice!"
At this time, a voice came from outside the yard. After hearing it, Lao Cui whispered in Tang Ping's ear: "That's the voice, last night!"
