Yan Laoer finally understood why Lao Yan said it was difficult to travel at night.
He then discovered that he was night blind.
Their whole family and even the whole village are.
I am fashionable at home, but now when I am walking outside, everyone is blind and can only see the road very close to my feet.
It was pitch dark all around, illuminated only by the moonlight, and it was impossible to see what was in front of me.
The wind blows, the surroundings rustle, and then suddenly a black shadow flies through the sky, which can make people break out in a cold sweat.
One villager only lit four torches from beginning to end.
In this way, even if you can't see the road, you can still follow the light and not get lost.
They had been walking for two hours. It was the direction set by his brother, not the usual road to town.
At first, it was all country roads, until just now, they embarked on a relatively flat dirt road.
It is the official road connecting various prefectures and counties.
Yan Huaiwen asked the team to stop, and everyone took a rest, fed the animals, and had something to eat. After a quarter of an hour, they started on the road again.
After hearing that it only lasted a quarter of an hour, the whole team became busy.
Help the old man down for a walk, eat something and drink water as a family, and then take turns solving hygiene problems.
Quilts, mats, etc. were quickly put on the car.
Accidentally, the child in his hands ran away without a trace. The parents had to shout to find it again, and then they patted the child twice on the buttocks, and the child started to cry.
The chicken was frightened and flapped its wings. The donkey also added to the chaos and brayed twice...
What a picture of a village pedestrian having a night scene.
"This cow of ours..." Yan Huaiwen felt more and more something was wrong as he walked. He had ridden in horse-drawn carriages and carts, not to mention bullock carts, but this was the first time he had seen such a powerful cow like his.
Yan Laoer took over the conversation and said sadly: "Don't you think it's too expensive? Brother, you have to take me with you when you buy things from now on. You don't even know how to bargain. It's just a waste of money. If I buy it, I can save at least two dollars."
Two pieces of silver!"
"No, our ox is quite strong." Yan Huaiwen said.
Yan Laoer: "What's the matter? People are also powerful. Our three treasures may be the mighty bull among the bulls.
Yes, I have to feed it some fodder."
Yan Huaiwen thought about it and thought it made sense.
People are different, and cattle cannot be generalized.
Yan Laoer pretended to feed the cows. If the three treasures were given to him, he would eat them. If he was not given, he would not make a fuss.
Later, he accidentally overfed me. What did you say? Sanbao actually stopped eating!
Hey! Let’s just say we are smart or not.
The simulation of Niu Sheng is quite good.
"Brother, how long do we have to go forward?" Yan Laoer asked.
"Thirty miles and one post should not be far away. We will settle down and rest near the post station." Yan Huaiwen replied.
"Will the inn allow us to stay?" Yan Laoer asked a silly question.
Yan Huaiwen looked at his unlearned younger brother and sighed: "The inn only accepts officials. I can't wait to go there, so I have to stay far away."
If it was a large-scale escape, it wouldn't be a problem, but they left too early, and it would be very troublesome if they were questioned by the police.
First, there was no way out, and more importantly, the entire village was trying to avoid paying grain taxes.
"It's best if someone can investigate first and see where the inn is, then come back and tell us. We can avoid the small road and then turn back to the official road." Yan Huaiwen said.
"Are we afraid of seeing the official?" Yan Laoer finally realized, yes! We are no longer good citizens. We don't pay taxes or food. We should be what my daughter said - refugees.
"Then why should we follow the official road? Let's just take the small road." Yan Laoer felt a sense of crisis. Not only did he have difficulty in survival, he also had problems with his identity.
"If you don't follow the official path, how can you determine the direction?" Yan Huaiwen's face turned dark.
Yan Laoer was dumbfounded and did not dare to ask again.
Yan Yu waited for her uncle and eldest brother to go to their convenience, then sneaked up to her father.
"Dad, we don't have a detailed map. My uncle took a map of the route and I looked at it. I can't go wrong unless I walk from one station to another."
"We still have to avoid inns and take small turns. It's a waste of time. Look at the people behind. They're all exhausted." Yan Laoer couldn't bear to walk behind those people.
"Hey, if you can get the map of the journey and show it to Sambo, I think it will save a lot of trouble. How many miles have we walked and whether the direction is correct? Sambo should be able to calculate and correct it. This is the most basic function.
Dad, we must continue to develop the functions of the Three Treasures. It is the biggest boost to our family at the moment." Yan Yu whispered.
Yan Laoer looked around and said, "Daughter, we have agreed that these mules and donkeys in the village cannot be replaced with smart ones. If one day they want to kill them for meat, my dear fellows, the knives will fly."
"Sure, those mules and donkeys don't belong to our family." Yan Yu said again: "Dad, you have to take turns driving the cart with your uncle and brother. We won't walk at night every day. From now on, we will try to let them drive the cart during the day and rest at night.
If you take over the night watch job, it will be easier for us to do anything at night."
Yan Laoer immediately understood that his daughter was talking about the platform that opened at 0 o'clock in the middle of the night.
"Yes, we can't let them sit idle and only burden me."
"And Dad, take a chance to find out what the uncle has to say and see what kind of charter he has. People in the village point to him to make decisions, but I think the uncle's words are not down to earth. It's hard for the villagers to listen. You have to be there to help.
He kept talking and said it bluntly so that everyone can understand it." Yan Yu shook her little head and spoke clearly.
Yan Laoer kept nodding, "No, I've also discovered that your uncle is a scholar who can't let go of his airs. He likes to leave half of his words behind. He doesn't prepare anyone in advance and won't say anything unless asked.
Old people like us, when we go on the road, can't keep walking, walk for as long as we want, stop for a long time, and don't have to explain that the people in our village are real. We just keep walking without asking anything."
"There are many questions, such as how far to walk every day, when to rest, when to eat, who is on duty at night, how much food and water each family brings, how long it will last, and whether we can bear it. We have to at least make an approximate estimate, etc.
At dawn tomorrow, I will count how many old people and children there are, how many people are riding in cars, and how many people are walking. If there are those who look weak, I need to take care of them, in case they get sick on the road...
Ouch! There are so many things to do when leading a team!"
Yan Yu has a headache.
Yan Laoer also has a big head.
The last time the platform was opened and they connected three friends, they discovered a very serious problem. After food and clothing were solved, their biggest survival crisis was disease.
Especially in the environment they live in, there is a lack of medical treatment.
There is only one doctor, Dr. Cui, who is an abandoned disciple of the medicine shop.
The medicine is all directed at him, and he can take as much as he takes with him on the road.
