In her previous life, she was busy, busy, busy. Busy earning money, busy living, busy doing all kinds of things. How long had it been since she felt such a natural embrace?
She had long forgotten this feeling. It was when she was still very young. Her parents were very loving at that time and would take her out for a hike. She remembered that the grass was also so green and the sunlight was also so warm.
However, ever since her father had left, she no longer had the chance or mood to experience it. She had too many things to do at such a young age, all the way until the end of her life.
Now, in this unfamiliar world, she had nothing. However, she could start all over again. A new morning sun, a new dawn.
Kang Xiaoqiao couldn't help but be in a good mood as she shouted at the wilderness, "Hello, I'm here--"
After shouting three times in a row, Kang Xiaoqiao felt comfortable all over. It was as if she had found an outlet for the turbid air that had accumulated in her body. Now, she felt extremely relaxed.
The family courtyard was about four kilometers away from the nearest town, Daqiao town. At this moment, there were no means of transportation. People basically relied on walking to travel. Occasionally, they would bump into a horse carriage or ox-cart that was hurrying on the road. That was the luckiest thing.
Actually, this distance would not be too long. It would only take an hour to get there. However, Kang Xiaoqiao's health was not good. At first, she felt quite relaxed. In addition, she was in a good mood. However, after half an hour, she began to sweat and did not bring any water. She couldn't stand it anymore.
While Kang Xiaoqiao was sitting by the roadside to rest, she saw a cow cart slowly approaching from afar.
Kang Xiaoqiao's eyes lit up and she immediately ran to the middle of the road to wave her hand. In this era, it was very difficult to wait for a motor vehicle. Kang Xiaoqiao was already full of joy to meet an old cow cart.
When the cow cart approached, she saw an old man holding a pipe in his mouth. He said in a heavy accent, "What's the matter?"
Kang Xiaoqiao immediately smiled and said, "Sir, where are you going? I'm going to the town. I can't walk anymore. Can you give me a ride on the way?"
When the old man heard that and saw that it was an obedient and sensible girl, he nodded and said, "Okay, come on up. It's on the way."
When Kang Xiaoqiao heard that, her eyes lit up and she said loudly, "Hey, thank you, sir."
The ox-cart was covered with hay and there was a plow rake on it. Kang Xiaoqiao was quite curious. She had never seen these tools before. So one could see a little girl with a bun sitting cross-legged on the ox-cart covered with hay. She chatted happily with the old man driving the ox-cart.
Kang Xiaoqiao was a very talkative person. As long as she wanted to please someone, it wouldn't be hard. Moreover, the old man was an authentic and simple farmer's family. It didn't take long for Kang Xiaoqiao to understand the situation at home.
At this moment, she was happily hanging a stalk of hay and chatting while looking at the sky. At this moment, an off-road vehicle suddenly came from behind. One look and it was obvious that it was used exclusively by the ministry.
Kang Xiaoqiao didn't like this kind of vehicle at all. Not only did it not have much money, it was ugly and didn't have any sense of comfort. It couldn't be compared to her car, but it was rare to see one.
The driver was none other than Kang Xiaoqiao's neighbor, Wang Xuehua's man, Feng Gang, and Instructor Feng. His burly appearance filled up the driver's seat.
From afar, he saw the girl on the ox-cart. She was a little different from the usual girls, and her posture was very pleasant. Therefore, he pushed Lu Yichen, who was sitting at the side, and said, "Hey, Brother Lu, look. Look, where did this girl come from? Why is she different from our local girl? Look at her satisfied expression and posture. I, Old Feng, have seen countless people. Why have I never seen such a spiritual person?"
Lu Yichen, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, had already seen it clearly. His face turned black, and he said in a bad temper, "Just drive your car. Why are you talking so much?"
It was not Lu Yichen's fault for being unhappy. This stupid girl was too torturous. This morning, they had agreed for her to be obedient for a few days, but in the end, she turned a deaf ear to his words. This was a provocation to Lu Yichen, who was a man of his word!
On the other hand, Kang Xiaoqiao did not know that Lu Yichen had already discovered her. She was still leisurely sitting on the ox-cart selling tickets. In the end, an off-road car drove past her, and the breeze and dust all landed on her body.
Kang Xiaoqiao was furious. She hurriedly wiped her face and hair with her hands, and then roared angrily, "Are you crazy? Do you know how to drive?"
Kang Xiaoqiao had always been a person who loved cleanliness. Now that she was covered in dust by this broken-down car, it would be strange if she could be happy. However, when the driver of the cart saw how angry this girl was... He said, "Eh, forget it, forget it. That's the ministry's car. It's windy in the spring. You girls love cleanliness. However, there's nothing we can do about it. It'll be over if you pay more attention next time."
When Kang Xiaoqiao heard this, she pouted angrily and said, "Hmph, so what if it's the ministry's car?"
"Impolite, hmph..."
Kang Xiaoqiao did not tell the sir that she was also a family member of the ministry. However, she remembered this car. Hmph, how could anyone who offended her be let off?
After whistling past, Feng Gang shivered coldly. His eyesight was very good, and he did not get a clear look at his back just now. However, as he passed by, he saw it clearly. Moreover, from the rearview mirror, he also saw Kang Xiaoqiao's anger.
He could not help but swallow his saliva and said, "Hey, Brother Lu, that girl just now, why does she look like a younger sister-in-law?"
Hearing this, Lu Yichen looked at him from the corner of his eyes and said, "You have to continue to practice your eyesight."
Pfft! Feng Gang almost suffered internal injuries from holding in his breath. His 1.80-meter-tall burly man said with a face full of feces, "Hey, are you kidding me? I don't know your sister-in-law, but you don't know her?"
"She looks like she's going to town. Should we wait for a while?"
Lu Yichen said expressionlessly, "No need. Let's go."
Feng Gang raised his eyebrows when he heard that. He then looked at Kang Xiaoqiao, who was panting on the ox-cart behind him. He thought about it and decided to forget about it. The other party probably didn't see him clearly either. It was better to avoid trouble. Therefore, the two of them left without even fighting.
Kang Xiaoqiao was angry for a long time, and her good mood was ruined. Fortunately, she arrived in town in a short while.
After thanking the ox-cart driver, she said goodbye to him and strolled alone in the only bridge town within a radius of dozens of miles.
This town was not particularly big. It was just a main road, a few branch streets, a food station, and a supply and marketing agency. They were all very easy to find. It was at the intersection of the most Central Street.
