The casual life of the flat space

"Mrs. Zhou, I heard that your ancestor hasn't eaten for three days?"

"Oh, that's right! I've only had some rice soup in the past three days. I can't even drink chicken soup. I feel sick of it. So the lady asked me to come out and see what good stuff it is that makes the old ancestor so worried. But when I went to all the shops and markets, they said they didn't have it. Oh, how can I report this to the lady when I go back?"

"What on earth is it that makes your ancestors so worried about it?"

"Speaking of cherries, they cannot be from other places. They have to be local. Our ancestors ate them when they went up the mountain when they were young. I don't know why I thought of this and I must try it. There is no such thing in the whole county. Look at the sweat on my forehead. I really tried my best!" said Mrs. Zhou, wiping the sweat from her head.

"Oh, just do your best and don't worry too much. Your mistress is not the kind of person who mistreats servants. Just talk to her, or go to other counties or villages to have a look. There will always be a way."

The sound of two women chatting on the roadside gradually caught Bai Tieying's attention. When she heard that it was Cherry, she knew she had it! So after the two of them said a few words and separated, she followed behind the woman Zhou. After they walked a little further away, she called out to her.

"Granny Zhou, can I call you that? I just overheard your conversation with that person. Sorry, I think I heard you were looking for cherries?"

"Do you have cherries?" Mrs. Zhou asked hurriedly, not caring whether the little girl was eavesdropping on her conversation or not.

"Yes, I have a cherry tree at home, and it has just borne fruit. Would you like some?"

"Yes, that's great! Oh, it saved my life! Where is your home, little girl? I'll go get it right away."

"My home is in Xianhe Village! I came to the city to visit my relatives and will be back in a few days."

"Oh, I can't wait any longer! I don't know if you heard me just now, but my ancestor hasn't eaten for three days. I can't wait any longer! Little girl, little lady, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. Could you please go back and get it? I really can't wait any longer!"

"Well, but I haven't told my relatives in the city yet. If I rush back, the earliest I can get it delivered is tomorrow!"

"It's alright, I'll call a carriage for you right now, you don't have to walk there or back, let's do it as soon as possible, please, little lady!"

"But... our village is the Crane Village... we don't like outsiders very much..." Bai Tieying said, lowering his head, as if he was very embarrassed.

Mrs. Zhou now hopes that this matter can be accomplished. If she doesn't like outsiders, then she can just not go with them. The worst that can happen is that she will be cheated out of some car fare, but if the old ancestor doesn't eat, the sky will fall!

Mrs. Zhou untied her purse with one hand and handed it to Bai Tieying, saying, "Young lady, I'm asking you for a favor. When you come back, go to Zhou's house in the north of the city. The coachmen will all know. As soon as possible! It's best to be back before the hour of You." She didn't know where this Xianhe Village was, but she estimated the location of the several villages she knew around the county town, and thought that since there was a horse-drawn carriage, she would be back before the hour of You.

Bai Tieying quickly refused, "Grandma Zhou, no need, I have my own money. Besides, the things haven't been brought here yet, so I don't know if they are what you want!"

After hearing this, Mrs. Zhou felt more relieved. She thrust the purse towards Bai Tieying and said, "Take it quickly. How can I ask you to pay for such a trip? My wife will blame me if she finds out. Good boy, go quickly and come back soon!"

"Okay, Granny Zhou, I'll be back as soon as possible!" Bai Tieying said, and went to the street corner to hail a carriage. She deliberately told the driver loudly that she was going to the South City Clinic, waved to Granny Zhou, and left.

Sure enough, when Mrs. Zhou heard about the South City Medical Clinic, she felt more relieved. Although she didn't know what the relationship between Doctor Bai and this young lady was, she knew that Doctor Bai had treated the old ancestor. Her panicked heart calmed down a little, and she turned around and went back to report to the mistress.

Bai Tieying came back in a carriage and told her uncle that she wanted to go back to the village. Her uncle just waved his hand. After he knew that Bai Tieying had a space, he was not as worried as Bai Tieying had been at the beginning. If anyone was blind, they would be put into the space, and if they wanted to deal with them later, they would be easily caught.

In fact, it didn't matter if Bai Tieying didn't come back this time, but on the one hand, we had to reassure Mrs. Zhou, and second, since she had already been hired, considering the distance and time, she would definitely not be happy if she was paid by the trip, so we just charged her by half a day, and everyone was happy.

The carriage started running as soon as it left the county town, and soon entered the village, causing another sensation. Bai Tieying still greeted them with a smile, and said directly that she had something to do and would talk to him later, and then she went home directly.

After arriving home, she asked the driver to wait at the intersection at the gate of the courtyard, and she ran directly to the vegetable garden behind, sent her own tree to the space, and picked out a tree full of cherries from the space. The tree planted by her grandfather was of commemorative significance, and she was reluctant to give it away, so she simply took out the one in the space, which could also ensure the survival rate.

Yes, if she wanted to do it, she would do it in a grand way. Selling cherries would be a one-time transaction, but directly moving a cherry tree would be a favor.

After thinking for a while, she picked a few more wild fruits and moved them one by one to the front yard with the soil attached. When she opened the door and pretended to move bags of mountain products out, Aunt Wu San arrived.

"Tieying, are you really back?"

"Hahaha, Third Aunt, what are you talking about? Who else could it be if not me?"

"Oh, you silly girl, you don't even know what rumors have spread in the village since you two sisters were away for a while! Some say you were eaten by wolves when you went up the mountain, some say you went to enjoy the good life of a rich family, and some say you took the villagers' mountain products and ran away!

Oh, that's so ugly. If my father-in-law hadn't said that you two were fine, I would have shed so many tears!"

Bai Tieying came forward and hugged Aunt Wu and said, "I'm sorry for making you worry. I was going to see my uncle and buy mountain products. I'm sorry for making you worry, Aunt Wu!"

"Hey, it's good to see that you are doing well. There's nothing to be sorry about. You said my father-in-law was the same. He knew you went to your uncle's house and he should have told me. I was afraid of getting into trouble by saying too much, so I didn't dare to ask him! This family is doing this to me. Okay, let's not talk about this. What are you going to do?"

"I've just finished my run outside, so I took some from our village to sell as well. Someone just happened to want to eat the wild fruits from the mountain, so I gave them to him as a favor. I still have some at home, I'll give them to Dongzi when I come back!"

"Well, that's something else. Just take them out if you need them outside. That's the important thing. Besides, you haven't finished eating the candy you brought last time. This guy has been nagging you at home every day. It's not the same as the time he was nagging about Tiexiong and the auspicious crane a while ago." Aunt Wu covered her mouth and laughed.
