Wo Shui Village is a place with a very peculiar topography. The entire village resembles a snail's shell, rotating in a circle from the outside and gradually getting smaller in the middle. It is also an almost isolated place, with a population of only a hundred or so.
However, the village has mountains at its back and water in front. With the mountains and water to eat, it can still have enough food and clothing. Every New Year's Day, someone will drive an ox cart to the nearest town to sell and purchase things. The villagers can either take the ox cart.
When driving to the town, you can either ask the driver to help you buy or sell things.
There is a family in the village, and now only two mother-in-law and daughter-in-law depend on each other. The young daughter-in-law is only eighteen years old, with graceful posture and picturesque features. She does not look like a stunning woman that could be raised in such a small village.
"Mom, I went out to collect herbs, and the day after tomorrow I asked Brother Daniu to go to the town to help us sell them and buy some rice back." The little daughter-in-law put her basket on her back and shouted into the house before going out.
"It's so dark. I feel like it's going to rain. Why don't you go today? Tomorrow Mom will go with you." A woman walked out of the room, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. She looked a little tired, but she had a worried look on her face.
.
"It's okay, I'll just come back soon." The little daughter-in-law shook her head, "Mom, you can rest at home. Your legs will hurt when it rains. I can just go by myself. We don't have much rice at home."
"Then you come back soon and pick less." Mother-in-law instructed.
"Yeah." The little daughter-in-law nodded, then hurried out with the basket on her back.
After leaving the house, the young daughter-in-law lowered her head and tried to go to a place with fewer people. She did not want to meet the people in the village, let alone say hello to them. She did not like the way the villagers looked at her.
After going up the mountain, the little daughter-in-law lowered her head and started looking for herbs. Maybe she was lucky today and found a lot of them. Unknowingly, the little daughter-in-law walked deeper into the mountain. When she came back to her senses, she realized that she had walked faster.
It's usually much further away.
After looking at the increasingly gloomy sky, the young wife hurriedly turned around and walked back.
However, at this moment, there was a thunder in the sky and a heavy downpour followed.
The little daughter-in-law hurriedly looked for a place to hide from the rain, but her vision became worse and worse. Without paying attention, her foot slipped and she fell down. There was a steep slope under her feet.
The little daughter-in-law screamed, but the first thought that flashed through her mind was that if she didn't go back in time, her mother would be worried to death.
After the little daughter-in-law stood firm, she was surprised to find that she was unscathed after rolling down the steep slope, not even a scratch. The heavy rain was still falling, soaking her all over. It was dark ahead, and she didn't know.
Where did it fall?
The little daughter-in-law looked up, looked at the steep slope, and gave up the plan of climbing up. It seemed that she had to find another way to return. Wiping the rainwater dripping from her face, the little daughter-in-law walked towards the road with difficulty.
Go forward.
The sky was getting darker and darker, and the little daughter-in-law was getting a little panicked because she couldn't tell where she was at the moment. In other words, she was lost.
In such a wilderness, it would be troublesome if you got lost.
When the little daughter-in-law was panicking, she suddenly saw a light appearing in front of her.
In the wind and rain, that lamp is so bright and warm.
The little wife subconsciously walked in the direction of the lamp.
When she got closer, she realized that the lamp was hanging high on a tall building.
Her husband had taught her how to read before, and she recognized the signboard hanging on the tall pavilion in front of her.
