The girl traveled through another world and forced the prince to take the imperial examination

Xiao Hei drove the ox cart and asked for directions along the way before arriving at Daxi Village.

At the entrance of Daxi Village stands a large locust tree that can be hugged by five people. Villagers have surrounded the tree with stones, and this tree has become a gathering point for social activities in Daxi Village.

Xiao Hei drove his ox cart to the village entrance and stopped it at a distance. He saw a crowd of people gathered under the big locust tree at the entrance, mostly women and children. There were also two elderly men in their 80s, their faces wrinkled and their lips dry. They sat on a rock under the tree, listening calmly to the village women chatting about village gossip.

He wanted to go down the tree to ask how to get to Xu Yongfu's house.

Those nosy women had seen him a long time ago. Seeing that he was a young man with a strange face, they looked at him curiously. When they saw the scars on his face, they were so scared that they ran away in all directions. Even the naughty children were taken away.

For a moment, the only people left under the tree were the two elderly men with unsteady legs and very poor eyesight.

"Old man, do you know how to get to Xu Yongfu's house?"

The two old men opened their sleepy eyes and looked at Xiao Hei in a daze. Xiao Hei didn't know that one of them was deaf and the other had Alzheimer's disease.

"Old man, do you know how to get to Xu Yongfu's house?" Xiao Hei asked again.

At this time, the old man with Alzheimer's disease reacted. He pursed his dry lips and said, "Oh...oh...go home, I don't want to go home, I haven't had enough fun! Humph!...I don't want to go home..."

Xiaohei: "...!"

Hehehe! Hahaha! A childish laugh echoed from behind the tree. Xiao Hei quietly circled behind the tree and grabbed the two little kids, one in each hand.

The two children, one about four or five years old and the other about six or seven years old, were grabbed by Xiao Hei by the back of their collars and lifted up.

"Let me go, let me go..."

"Help! There are bad guys, there are bad guys, help! ..."

The two children screamed in fear, their four short legs tumbling in the air.

"Don't shout!" Xiao Hei said in a deep voice, deliberately threatening them: "If you shout again, I will throw you two into the mountains to feed the wolves."

It was indeed a child. He immediately covered his mouth and dared not say a word.

Xiao Hei was still a little proud. He smiled secretly and said, "I'm asking you questions. If you know the answer, nod your head. If you don't know the answer, shake your head. Do you understand?"

The older child nodded immediately, while the younger one just sobbed. So, Xiao Hei put the younger child down and grabbed the older one to continue questioning.

"Is this Daxi Village?"

The child nodded.

"Do you know where Xu Yongfu's home is?"

The child shook his head obediently.

Xiao Hei frowned and thought about it, maybe the child was too young and couldn't remember the names of the villagers.

"Then do you know anyone who can make furniture?"

The child's eyes lit up and he finally nodded.

Xiao Hei put the child on the ground and asked in a slightly gentler tone: "Then do you know where the family that broke the furniture is?"

The child nodded and pointed at the little boy sitting on the ground sobbing and said, "That's his house."

"hiss!"

Xiao Hei smiled at the younger child with an ugly expression, and his smile scared the two children to tears again.

The old man who was sitting obediently under the big tree stood up with a cry of "Ah!", raised his crutch tremblingly and hit Xiao Hei.

"... Dare to bully my brother? I'll beat you to death... Let's see if you dare to bully my brother again..."

"..." It's unfair! Xiao Hei didn't dare to fight back and could only circle around the locust tree.

Xiao Hei dodged the old man's crutches, took the opportunity to pick up the youngest child, ran back to the ox cart, jumped on it and ran away.

The child's loud cries could be heard all along the way. Fortunately, he was heading into the village. If he had left the village, he would have been chased by villagers with hoes.

The child's crying still attracted countless villagers to come out from their homes, holding hoes to block the ox cart's way and ask what was going on.

Seeing the villagers' unfriendly expressions, Xiao Hei quickly explained that he was there to return the ox cart. He then told the villagers the story Mu Qingcheng had made up, and the scars on his face were the best evidence. This caused an uproar in Xiaxi Village.

After hearing Xiao Hei's story, the villagers put down their hoes and greeted him with smiles.

"Oh! I really met a good person."

"Yes, yes!"

"I remember this ox cart. Half a year ago, Old Xu bought an ox and even prepared a feast for me to drink!"

"Yes, it's this ox cart. It was stolen by a group of ruthless bandits. Old Xu was carried back. He bled so much! It was terrifying!"

"The Xu family has been unlucky lately, but they've finally met a noble person and are finally having a happy event."

"That's right, the Xu family's luck is about to change."

The villagers gave Xiao Hei directions, and some enthusiastic people even personally sent him to Xu Yongfu's home.

Xu Yongfu lived at the easternmost end of the village. His large, black-painted wooden door, still covered by a wooden gatehouse, was mottled and peeling, revealing the traces of time. On the door plaque, the faded red characters could still be vaguely discerned: "Jiahe Yongchang."

The Xu family was a family of craftsmen, and several generations had accumulated considerable wealth. Even the spacious brick and tile house gave a glimpse of the Xu family's prosperity. However, the Xu family was no longer as prosperous as it once was.

The Xu family's door was closed, and inside, it was quiet. The villagers knocked on the door, and after a long while, they heard a timid woman's voice from behind the door, asking, "Yes, who is it?"

"I'm Zhang Dazhu, and I'm from the Xu family! Hurry and open the door, you have a guest."

The person inside timidly said, "You, wait a moment, I'll go call for help...!"

After saying that, I heard the footsteps of the person behind the door running away.

Zhang Dazhu smiled awkwardly and said, "Women are just timid. Brother, you don't know, something happened to the Xu family a few days ago. Oh! It's a long story, let the Xu family tell you later."

After waiting for a while, a woman's voice came from behind the door.

"Is this Brother Dazhu? What brings you here right now?"

The voice sounded a bit older and calmer, but still carried a hint of caution.

At this time, the child in Xiao Hei's arms burst into tears, "Wow! Wow..."

"Mother...Mother...save me..."

Xiao Hei: "..."

This naughty kid! He wanted to slap him on the butt, but he held back.

"Oh my! Manbaoer! My little ancestor! When did you run away?..."

The door finally opened, and a woman rushed out with a long rolling pin in her hand. When she saw Xiao Hei, she swung the rolling pin and hit him.

Xiao Hei was agile and dodged the attack while holding the child. But Fang Shi was relentless and kept chasing him and hitting him.

Zhang Dazhui and several villagers didn't react in time before they were affected.

"Sister-in-law Xu... stop it... stop it! We are here to return the ox cart." Zhang Dazhu explained while dodging.

Oxcart! At the mention of the oxcart, Fang's raised rolling pin stopped in mid-air. She turned around to look for the oxcart, not even caring about her own grandson.

"My ox cart, it's really my ox cart. Oh my God! Which benefactor helped me to return it?"

Fang threw herself on the cow without a care in the world and touched the yellow cow with pity.

"Mrs. Xu, this is the young man who brought the ox cart back." Zhang Dazhu pointed at Xiao Hei who was holding the child.

Fang looked at Xiao Hei carefully. He wasn't the Mr. Zhou she'd met in Daxing Town, nor was he the handsome young man she'd met at the inn. Regardless, he was there to deliver the ox cart. She walked over sheepishly, reaching out to take the child in her arms.

"Sir, look at what a commotion this has caused! I was frightened and hit someone without asking clearly. I'm so sorry! Are you hurt anywhere?"

Xiao Hei rolled his eyes in his heart. If he could be hurt by a woman, he wouldn't have to go back to see his master. He could just bury himself!

"No, no, it's all a misunderstanding. I came here without any prior notice. I heard that something happened in your family and you didn't have time to bring the ox cart. I didn't have anything else to do anyway, so I thought it would be a good time to move around, so I brought the ox cart to your house."

After Xiao Hei said this, Fang Shi became even more embarrassed. She turned sideways and said hurriedly, "Don't say that. You are our family's benefactor. Please come in and have a seat with Brother Dazhu!"
