The third one...
Aren't all these versions being told in the tea houses?
Song Xiaoyue was heading to Capital City, but as soon as she left Provincial City, she was lost.
She, a rich young lady, had been well protected by Song Cheng's couple since childhood. They never let her venture alone, hence, Miss Song had no sense of direction.
Which way should she go?
After thinking for a while, she finally asked for directions. If someone said to go west, then she would head in that direction.
After walking for half a day, she realized that the person was referring to a shortcut. A shortcut was generally more remote with no towns or places to rest, it were usually mountain roads or villages. She had been walking for half a day, and it was about to turn dark.
There were occasionally some houses along the road, but Song Xiaoyue dared not stay. An eighteen-year-old girl staying overnight in strangers' houses could be risky, in case she encountered bad guys, she might lose everything.
