The first ray of light in the east slowly rose, the hazy fog in the air began to quietly dissipate, and the crisp chirping of birds came from the branches not far away in twos and threes.

By the small river outside Liujia Village, a lame girl came to recognize her relatives.

"Sister-in-law, do you know Liu Dahai?"

Sister-in-law Liu, who was washing clothes by the river, heard the sound and saw a girl in ragged clothes looking at her eagerly and asking.

But Liu Dahai?

Sister-in-law Liu thought about it in her mind for a long time. She really had never heard of this name. She shook her head: "I have never heard of this person in the village. Girl, are you looking for the wrong place?"

The lame girl is Mingyue.

Mingyue's eyes showed disappointment, and she stumbled immediately. She murmured in despair: "How could I find the wrong one? Isn't this Liujiacun? My mother-in-law told me clearly that my uncle lives in Liujiacun.

…”

Most of the villages in this world are named after surnames. The most common surnames such as Liujiacun, Zhoujiacun and Wangjiacun are almost everywhere.

So Mrs. Liu did not doubt Mingyue's words, she just thought that the village where her uncle lived was also called Liujiacun.

So Mrs. Liu kindly reminded her: "Five miles ahead, there is Liujia Village. Miss, why don't you go to that Liujia Village and ask again?"

"Okay, I understand, thank you, sister-in-law." Mingyue wiped her tears with the back of her hand, turned around and took two steps before she fell to the ground with an "ah" sound.

"Ouch." Upon seeing this, Sister-in-law Liu quickly threw her clothes into the basin and came to help the person.

"Eh? Girl, are you okay?" Mrs. Liu held Mingyue's arm and asked with concern.

Mingyue held her stomach and the tips of her ears turned red. She lowered her head in embarrassment and said, "I, I haven't eaten for two days."

"Ah!" Mrs. Liu suddenly realized, no wonder, she was hungry.

Seeing how pitiful she looked, Mrs. Liu hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Girl, why don't you go to my house to rest and have a drink of hot water?"

Mingyue's lowered eyes moved, she pursed her lips and nodded: "Then I'll trouble you, sister-in-law."

Sister-in-law Liu's family is not rich, with only two houses with mud walls and tiles, but there are five children in the family. Seeing her grandma coming back with a strange woman, they all ran over to watch the fun.

.

Two of the children had been met by Mingyue outside the village before, and Liujia Village was mentioned when they had a quarrel with the children from the next village, which made Mingyue suddenly think about it.

In the past two years, there has been no major war between Song and Wu, but small battles have continued, especially in villages near small border towns such as Fengcheng, which have repeatedly affected innocent people.

During this war, the people are suffering. Now there are more and more refugees, and the role Mingyue plays now is that of a poor orphan who came to seek refuge with her uncle.

It just so happened that her clothes were all torn and torn by thorn bushes, her feet were injured, and her face was gray, so no one really doubted her authenticity.

Sister-in-law Liu and her family are all kind-hearted. They gave Mingyue some clothes to wear, bandaged the wounds on her feet, and specially cooked two large sweet potatoes for her to eat.

After Mingyue had eaten and drank well, Sister-in-law Liu said that a good person would do her best. Seeing that her legs and feet were inconvenient, she helped her go to the Liujia Village next door to find someone.

Mingyue didn't refuse, she just thanked her seriously and let Mrs. Liu go to another Liujia village to find someone.

It's just that Liu Dahai is the name Mingyue made up casually, so naturally he can't be found in the village.

Sister-in-law Liu's trip was in vain, and she looked a little depressed, but when she faced the bright moon, she still comforted her, saying that it might be a village farther away.

Mingyue smiled reluctantly, but shook her head and sighed: "Since I can't find my uncle here, I have no choice but to seek refuge with my sister who is married outside."

Sister-in-law Liu was stunned: "But your feet..."

"It's okay," Mingyue took out two taels of silver from her arms and pleaded with her eyes: "It's a long way to go, so I bothered my sister-in-law to help me prepare some dry food. The rest is just to thank my sister-in-law for the meal.

."

Sister-in-law Liu was stunned when she saw the two taels of silver, and then she waved her hands vigorously: "How can you ask for so much? We don't have anything good at home, there are too many, it's really too much."

Mingyue stuffed the money over and said, "I want it. If it weren't for you, sister-in-law, I don't know what I would have done."

Sister-in-law Liu held the silver and swallowed, and finally accepted it with some embarrassment.

The family is really poor. Two taels of silver is enough for their family to live for several months.

Speaking of the money, thanks to Jiang Yunqi who suggested it, you can't put all the money in one person, lest something unexpected happens and you lose everything.

This is the same as not putting all your eggs in one basket, lest one accidentally beats the other.

This saves Mingyue from worrying about money.

It's just that Mingyue doesn't have much money. The total sum is only eight or three taels. Now that she has given Mrs. Liu two taels of silver, the remaining money is even less.

However, good people should be rewarded with good things, so that they will not live up to their character and stand up for themselves the next time they encounter trouble.

Mingyue looked at Mrs. Liu's family who were busy with other things, with a slight smile on her face.

In the small town at this time, a group of pursuing soldiers asked around and finally arrived at the horse market.

The stockbroker who originally thought he had made a small profit turned pale when he heard that Jiang Yunqi was a fugitive for murder.

"He, he, he, he deceived my fine horse and ran away!" The horse market clerk slapped his thigh and was so angry that he stuttered.

He was thinking that Jiang Yunqi didn't know the market price, so why was he willing to give two cents to be cheated?

It’s all because he thought he was an old acquaintance and didn’t ask for a deposit!

It turns out that the fool is himself.

After hearing this, the pursuers were furious.

"This damn Jiang Yunqi is really cunning, and he actually ran away."

"Oh, have you seen it? The guy in the horse market is in such a miserable state. He actually traded two cents of silver for a top-notch horse and left. It's really a bloody misfortune."

"Hey, how can we not be unlucky? We chased him so far across mountains and ridges, only to have someone run away. It was a waste of time."

"But didn't Jiang Yunqi leave with his wife? Why did the horse market guy say he was the only one?"

"Isn't this simple? Obviously he asked his wife to hide, deceived the horse and then went to pick her up!"

"This is also true..."

No one really thought that Jiang Yunqi would abandon his wife and run away alone. After all, they chased her all the way but didn't find the lone woman.
