175. Leave
After the morning eclipse the next day, everyone who had been stranded here for nearly half a month finally started to move.
Unlike in the past, this time everyone is much lighter and their steps are much lighter.
They were the last ones to leave the mountain. The aftermath of the yamen runners and the hired laborers had left before dusk yesterday.
The entire mountain road is blocked by nearly half a distance of hundreds of meters. It’s no wonder that it took so long to clear it.
Gulan, who was driving the car, sighed at the bumpy roads.
Even if everyone walked slowly, they would pass through this section quickly, and finally one step closer to Jiaocheng.
With more than a dozen horses, the next trip was much faster.
In the past, it took two or three days to reach Jiaocheng. At their current speed, it is estimated that tomorrow will be almost done.
In fact, I have decided to go to Yunzhou City without having to pass Jiaocheng. The reason I still want to make up for the necessary things at once, especially the carriage.
With a clear goal, everyone seemed to be using endless energy and had a very fast pace.
It was smooth all the way until the sun set. Before dark, everyone stopped at a place that was obviously a food drying ground.
There was a village not far away, and it seemed that they had also been discovered. A few people were walking towards this side at this moment.
After entering, there was an old man and several middle-aged men.
Seeing this, Village Chief Li hurried forward.
"Who are you? How could you appear in our grain drying farm?" The old man frowned and looked at the group of people who suddenly appeared on the farm in his village.
There are too many people, and people have to worry.
The clothes were worn and the family looked like they were refugees, but the old man was not sure about the few cars and the dozen horses.
Therefore, in the end, I didn't ask if it was a refugee.
"Sorry, it's our fault, it's time to say hello to your village. We are just passing by to relatives. We plan to rest for a night here. Brother, don't worry, we will leave tomorrow morning, and we will definitely not disturb you.
.”
"So many of you go to join relatives?" Seeing the person coming, the old man felt a little relieved, but obviously he didn't believe Village Chief Li's words. How could there be so many people who go to join relatives?
"Yes, we are a big family, and our family has caused disasters. That's why we are the ones who are with us. Don't worry, we are not bad people and we don't need food. We just stay here and don't walk around."
Village Chief Li hurriedly promised that he understood the feelings of these people. If it were his words, there would be so many people outside his village.
Although the old man was still worried, he looked at them and those fat and strong horses and believed in what the people in front of him said a little.
These people are indeed a little different from the refugees I have seen. Although their clothes are worn but clean, they are not as red and skinny as the refugees' hungry eyes, and their eyes are very terrifying.
Although they were thin, they were not exaggerated and their eyes were bright. The children of them seemed to be in better condition. They even saw a few chubby ones, at least not short of food, which was true.
As long as there is no shortage of food, the old man will feel much more at ease. Don’t worry that they will go to the village to grab grain. Besides, these people have already stopped here, and they can’t drive them away by just a few of them wanting to. Fortunately, the grain drying ground is in
There is still some distance outside the village, and it is okay for them to be prepared for it.
"Village Chief, do you really want them to stay here?" The few people who came with the old man were also worried and whispered in their village chief's ear.
"What can I do if I don't do this? Don't forget that there are not many people in our village than them. I see these people's eyes are clear and bright, not like bad people, just one night."
They are just a small village, and if they fight hard, they really don’t have much confidence.
Immediately, "It's really not easy to go out. Since this is the case, I'll let you rest for a night. I just hope that as my brother said, don't disturb us. There is also a stream from the northwest corner of this place. If you want to get water, you can go there.
.”
"Of course, I keep my word. Brother, I am very kind. Thank you for telling the water source." Village Chief Li bowed.
"You're welcome." The old man nodded, looked at the crowd on the food drying ground again, suppressed the anxiety in his heart and turned around and left with a few juniors.
The people of Lijia Village did not care too much about the arrival of these people.
They saw too many rolling eyes along the way, and they all took it to heart and wouldn't be exhausted.
Xenophobia is a very normal phenomenon, and it is all for protecting oneself, and everyone understands it.
Knowing where there is a water source, young and middle-aged people will go to get water together.
In fact, when you leave, you can fill up a lot of water. In just one day, everyone does not use much water, but there is no need to waste the stored water.
Originally, Gulan was going to go, but was stopped by Xiang Yunjin.
Xiang Yunjin: "You've been on the road for a day. I'll go get water."
"But the wound on your body..." Gulan glanced at his injured part. Although the wound had almost recovered, Gulan was still a little worried about the weight of the bucket of water.
This is a half-person-high wooden barrel, and it is perfectly OK to hold an adult.
"I underestimated me, just a bucket of water. Besides, my arm is fine." Xiang Yunjin moved his hand holding the bucket.
"Okay, just be careful." Gulan thought about it and didn't insist, but he said there was no problem, and that must be no problem. This guy still cherishes his body very much.
Besides, it is rare to take the initiative to work, so it should be supported.
So he stopped paying attention to Xiang Yunjin and quickly took off the bamboo tied outside the carriage and set up a tent. Da Ya Er Ya followed him to help.
An An knew that she was too young, so she stayed with Dahei honestly and did not pull her mother's back.
When Xiang Yunjin came back with a large bucket of water, Gulan's tent was also well built.
Not only Koran, but others are also setting up tents or simple sheds.
The grain drying yard is very spacious and can be saved even if they all set up tents.
Everyone was busy. During those days when they were blocking the mountain, I was used to sleeping at the bottom of the shed. I didn’t even have a shelter in the open air. I couldn’t stand it. After all, it was really cold at night now.
The things in Quran are all ready-made. With Xiang Yunjin back, the tents on Quran were built very quickly.
It was not until Quran started to make late meals that someone else's tent was built.
There is braised pork, and pancakes that were pasted in advance. You only need to make a porridge with wild vegetables.
She was not prepared to do something too complicated. She was not an iron man, and she was really tired after driving the carriage for a day.
After eating and cleaning, the dusk was already heavy. Apart from the fires lit around, even the crescent moon was hidden in the dark fog, and the whole world was dark.
Except for the night patrolers, everyone soon fell asleep.
Quran was the same. She thought that after a while after dinner, her physical discomfort would be much better, but somehow she still felt weak, especially her waist and belly, which were very uncomfortable.
So Gulan hugged his son early and lay in the tent to rest.
Chapter completed!
