Chapter 19: Going to the City to Sell Mushrooms
The three pea plants were standing well and showed no signs of falling.
She went back to the house, placed the bamboo basket next to the pile of mushrooms, then took out the pumpkin seeds wrapped in cloth and looked at them.
Tangchi valued these pumpkin seeds very much. He held them carefully in his hands and looked at them with his black and white eyes.
She decided that after delivering the mushrooms tomorrow, she would start preparing to plant pumpkins the day after tomorrow, and start her real life as a village girl with a well and a little field.
With hope, Tangchi got up very early.
She checked the mushrooms and then carefully put them into the bamboo basket one by one. She only filled the basket full.
Carrying the bamboo basket on his back, Tangchi felt it was particularly heavy.
Tangchi is very greedy and wants to sell more at once.
However, before even leaving the village, Tangchi's small body was a little overwhelmed. She gritted her teeth and rested for a while until she walked out of the village.
Along the way, Tangchi stopped and rested many times. His thin, yellow face was reddened by the sun, his broken hair was wet with sweat and stuck to his forehead, and his back was so painful that he was already stiff.
Fortunately, she finally arrived.
When she arrived at the city gate, she couldn't bear it anymore and put down the bamboo basket, wiped the sweat from her forehead, frowned and took a few breaths. It seemed that her physical strength still needed to be practiced.
"Let let let let..."
Tangchi turned around and saw a man pushing a cart full of things towards here.
"Mushroom!" Tangchi suddenly realized that he and Mushroom were still standing at the gate of the city, and went to move the mushroom anxiously.
The cart didn't slow down when it saw people, and was about to come over. Tangchi hurriedly moved the bamboo basket, and when the cart came over, she stepped aside, but she accidentally tripped over the bamboo basket.
Thrown to the ground.
"Your second master's..." Tangchi frowned and got up from the ground, turning around to scold the man pushing the cart.
But who would have thought that she was more confident and pushed the car past her without stopping, saying, "You little village girl, what are you doing blocking the road? You're going to die!"
Tangchi simply sat down on the ground to rest.
Little village girl, that’s right.
Blocking the road, yes.
But thinking about it, Tang Chi still felt angry and shouted at the man's back: "Your second master doesn't have eyes!"
The man turned back and glared at Tangchi, but the cart in his hand was still moving forward, so he turned around and pushed the cart away with a curse.
People going in and out of the city will look at the soup pool twice when they pass by.
Tangchi didn't even look up, just guarding her mushrooms, waiting for someone to pick her up.
Sitting aside, watching people coming and going, Tangchi felt indescribably empty. She pursed her lips, lowered her head, and patted the ashes on her body.
Suddenly a drop of water fell on the ground in front of the soup pool, and then slowly fainted, followed by a second drop.
Tangchi sniffed.
Life is much harder than she imagined. She herself doesn't know if her eyes will become cloudy like those of the men and women in the village if she continues to live here.
However, this status quo cannot be changed immediately if she wants to.
Except for the two drops of water on the ground, there is no third drop.
"Brother, isn't that the little girl selling mushrooms? She's here again today!"
In the noisy street, Tangchi vaguely heard these words.
