"Squeak-"

The mouse's cry rang out softly, "Xiao Man? Xiao Man——"

Tian Xiaoman was very sure that he had not heard it wrong, it was Fat Hui's voice.

"Fat Gray--" Tian Xiaoman lowered his voice and called in the direction behind the backpack.

As expected, the next second, a fat mouse jumped out of the basket.

The fat mouse placed its two front paws on the edge of the backpack, and its two hind paws pushed upward along the wall of the backpack, directly flipping over the edge of the backpack and jumping onto the seat opposite Tian Xiaoman.

"Xiao Man! How was it? Are you surprised? Are you surprised?"

Tian Xiaoman: No surprises, mostly shocks!

"Why are you here?"

"Hehe, I passed by your warehouse yesterday, and I heard your mother saying that you were going to the city today. I was thinking, I have never been to the city, so I can take a ride with you to go to the city to broaden my horizons."

"Then why are you in the backpack?"

Tian Xiaoman pointed at the backpack that Wang had taken to the donkey cart early in the morning. It contained food for the past few days, water bags, and fodder for the alpacas.

Fat Gray touched his round belly and smiled awkwardly.

"I originally planned to hide in the carriage, but the food your mother prepared was so delicious that I really——"

"Did you eat our cakes?"

Those pancakes were filled with sugar. They were specially made by Wang so that we could fill our stomachs when we were hungry on the road.

What if Fatty Gray really eats them? Uh, what will they have to fill their stomachs?

Fat Gray said aggrievedly, "Xiao Man—you despise me!"

Tian Xiaoman rubbed his eyebrows helplessly.

Fat Gray, what do you think? If it were anyone, they would dislike it, right?

“But—” Fat Gray changed the subject and chuckled, “Xiao Man, please listen to me. I really couldn’t help it, so I ran to the backpack and sniffed it. Don’t worry, I didn’t touch it at all, I just sniffed it.

"My nose is very good. There must be sugar in the biscuits. Xiaoman, when you eat the biscuits later, can you give me some? Otherwise, after a long journey, I will die on the road before I even reach the capital. How miserable!"

Tian Xiaoman kept preparing himself mentally - this was a pitiful mouse, and one could only listen to its words and not take them to heart.

"Okay, I'll give you some when we eat. Hide yourself quickly and don't let my father and my elder brother and second sister see you. Otherwise, whether you can save your life or not is not up to me."

"Okay, Xiaoman is really nice. See you later!"

Fat Gray moved around a few times and hid behind the backpack again.

Tian Xiaoman had not slept well last night. As the donkey cart swayed, she felt sleepy. She leaned against the wall of the carriage, closed her eyes, and was about to fall asleep.

Tian Xiaoman was about to fall asleep when he was half conscious and the sound of mice talking could be heard from time to time in the carriage.

Tian Xiaoman was so angry that he couldn't sleep. He gritted his teeth and called out, "Fat Gray."

"Xiao Man, you called me?"

The fat rat "whoosh" and rushed out from the gap between the two backpacks at the back of the carriage.

At this moment, Fat Gray was covered in dust, his ears were dirty, and the white fur on his belly was also dirty.

"Fat Gray, why are you so excited? Are you not afraid of monsters now?"

"Monsters? That's because I was young and was frightened by the alpacas. In fact, they are just paper tigers and are not to be feared at all! Look, even if I stand on their heads, they dare not say a word."

Fat Gray leaped up and landed directly on the head of "Slant Bangs" with a look of pride on his face.

Tian Xiaoman laughed. He was tied up and could do nothing. If he were free, he would have been thrown into some corner!

"Let's get down to business. Can you please stop nagging? It's too noisy. I can't even get some sleep."

"Xiao Man, you have to understand my feelings. I finally have a chance to take revenge, so of course I have to be excited. These three monsters have finally fallen into my hands. If not now, when will I take revenge?"

"But you can take revenge if you want. You can just quietly bully the alpaca, but you punch and swear, then punch again. Don't you think you have obsessive-compulsive disorder?"

"Obsessive-compulsive disorder? What kind of disorder is that? I don't think so. Xiaoman, you don't know how fun it is to fight like this.

These monsters once trampled two of my little mice to death. Every time we fight them, we mice never get any good results. Now I finally have a chance to take revenge. Of course I have to fight them to my heart's content. I won't talk to you anymore. I'm going to take revenge.

Monsters, your fat gray grandpa is here! Look at my left hook, right hook! Yes, yes, that angry look of yours can be brighter. Yo yo yo, you are not obedient to me, the king. Then I will give you another claw. Look at my 72 consecutive kicks -"

Tian Xiaoman was helpless: It started again, can't this fat grey guy just be quiet?

But the magical thing is that in such a noisy environment, Tian Xiaoman still fell asleep, and slept soundly.

When she woke up again, it was Tian Xiaochun who woke her up.

There was no more sound of Fat Gray's mumbling in the carriage.

"Little sister, come down quickly. It's already past noon. Dad said we should eat something before we set off."

Tian Xiaoman got off the car and found that their donkey cart was parked on the side of an official road next to the forest.

"Dad, how far have we walked? How long will it take to get to the capital?"

Tian Danian poured out a bowl of hot water and handed it to Tian Xiaoman.

"Drink a bowl of water to warm yourself up first—"

Compared to Shitou and Xiaochun, who are already teenagers, he feels more sorry for his little girl, fearing that she will be cold or hungry along the way.

"We have only traveled over a hundred miles and haven't even left the border of Pinglin Mountain. At this speed, I'm afraid we won't get there tonight."

"Within Pingdingshan?"

Tian Danian smiled and drank a bowl of water.

"Yes, the Pinglin Mountains run through Dayue for hundreds of miles—" Tian Danian pointed to the forest on one side, "Even these are branches of the Pinglin Mountains, but they are far away from us and we don't know what they are called."

Tian Xiaoman was shocked. After walking for a long time, he found that he was still walking around Pingdingshan. The saying was true, "In ancient times, transportation was slow."

"Dad, if we can't reach the city today, do we really have to live in the wild?"

Tian Danian nodded, "It's okay to sleep outdoors. Dad has experience sleeping outdoors. We'll find a safe place to stay before dark. We'll build two fires, and your eldest brother and I will take turns to keep watch. But it'll be hard for you and your second sister. I'm afraid you'll have to spend the night in the carriage."
