Wu Haoyuan didn't seem to understand that Old Man Qi wanted to drive them away, and he still smiled sincerely.
"What a coincidence, we are also heading north."
The smile on old man Qi's face suddenly became more and more fake, just like the one who had gone up to him, "That's a coincidence."
"No, this is not fate."
Old man Qi: "..."
I'm attracted to you.
After saving someone who was shameless, what else could Old Man Qi say?
At this time, Qi Baoer looked in one direction with dull eyes and said, "Master, dad and the others are back."
They are still hiding in the small winding mountain road. This is a natural haven. There is a cross-section of a short cliff, and the short cliff is also covered with big trees.
The wind outside the bend is still strong, but compared with the initial strong wind, it no longer blows people up into the sky, it only blows people to and fro.
At that time, they were just running for their lives, and all their belongings and food were blown everywhere by the wind. It was their lives. When the wind became lighter, Qi Kangan took a group of five men with ropes tied around their waists and went out to look for things.
.
You can't buy other things until you get to Hefeng Town. Hefeng Town is said to be a big town about the same size as Sanhe Town, but no one can give up the food.
They spent a whole day pushing the white flour from Sanhe Town from Yangcun to Beiyang Town, the corn that the women had kneaded overnight, and the dry food cooked in the kitchen of the rented inn.
That's all life.
Old Qi looked in the direction where Qi Bao'er was facing, and sure enough, around the corner, Qi Kang'an and others appeared one after another, all in a mess.
Qi Kang'an raised his eyes and saw his father and daughter. He quickly untied the rope around his waist in three steps and trotted over in two steps. His face was originally covered with mud, but he saw a pair of big white teeth on his face with big black eyes.
.
"Dad, Bao'er is awake. Did you say that he's not feeling well? Has Dr. Gao gone and checked again?" He didn't know yet that Bao'er could hear him.
As he spoke, the man had already arrived in front of them, reaching out to hug his daughter.
Qi Bao'er turned around and lay on Old Qi's shoulder with a look of disgust, "Dad, I don't feel uncomfortable at all, but you smell so bad."
Qi Kang'an was not at all sad about being rejected by his daughter. Instead, he was so excited that his hands were trembling, and he looked at Old Man Qi in disbelief.
"Dad, can Bao'er hear you?"
This time, the old man Qi did not dislike his eldest son for being unstable, but smiled and nodded, "I can hear you. Bao'er said that her eyes can see quickly, but..."
Remembering that there were three outsiders nearby, I prayed that the old man would stop talking.
However, father and son are connected. Qi Kang'an has already understood what old man Qi means. He probably means that his daughter has used her special ability excessively, which is why she is like this, but given enough time, she can recover slowly on her own.
This is enough time, I don’t know how long it will take?
After thinking about this, Qi Kang'an was almost so excited that he shed tears in front of outsiders. This is a great skill. This skill is really great.
He couldn't say what was good about it. This time his daughter scared his old father to death. It would be great if he could recover. It would be great if he could recover.
It doesn't matter how long it takes, he can wait as long as it takes.
Old man Qi asked: "Can you find some food?"
Qi Kang'an was suddenly brought back to reality, and wiped his face, which was also covered in mud, with his big muddy hands.
"There are many trees in the forest. If the cards are blown away, one bag will fall out, and some will be recovered, but it is impossible to recover them all.
Many bags were broken and scattered everywhere. I found an empty bag in our flour bag. It was broken. You can still see some corn on the ground after it was scattered, but there was no trace at all after the flour was scattered."
"Can we still pick up the corn?" There were hundreds of them, and it would probably take them half a day to pick it up in the mountains.
Qi Kang'an shook his head, "I couldn't pick them up. The wind was so strong that I could pick up a few of the ones that were blocked by trees nearby. We didn't even know where they were blown by those that were blown far away."
"Are there many found around here?"
Qi Kang'an shook his head again, "We only found less than a hundred bags of unbroken ones, and less than ten empty bags of broken ones. Clothes and quilts were blown away even more, and the quilts we found were less than ten.
bed."
It can be said that 90% of the entire village's belongings were blown away by this strong wind. Their previous efforts were basically in vain, and they became extremely pure refugees.
Now we can only see what the situation in Hefeng Town will be like.
Fortunately, he said, "Dad, our three horses are all here. They have found a place to hide somewhere. When we went out just now, they were all in the woods on the other side of the road."
All the other cows and horses in the village disappeared. I don't know if they were blown away by the wind or if they ran away on their own.
Old man Qi sighed helplessly, "It turns out that there is another reason why Beiyang Town is so poor."
This is the first time that Old Man Qi has encountered such a strong wind in his more than fifty years of life.
Wu Haoyuan said he could take up this topic.
"There is a grand canyon between the south of Beiyang Town and Canaan City. It is completely different from the narrow cliff path you walked through. The canyon is so wide that you can't see the other side from one side, and it's so deep that you can't see the bottom.
Throughout the year, strong winds that intensify after passing through the canyon will often hit Beiyang Town. However, Beiyang Town is located in a low-lying area, and the nearby villages are basically protected by the mountains and forests.
This is the only road that happens to face the direction of the canyon, and it is a high-lying and open place, so..."
We have encountered such a situation.
Wu Haoyuan pressed his chin in the direction of the north, "We were just unlucky. After walking forward for half a day, the official road turned a corner. After that, it was in the direction of the canyon. There are these rows of continuous big trees.
If you block it, the strong wind will not pose a threat."
People who often enter and leave Beiyang Town through this road know this situation and will take precautions, such as roughly guessing the time when the strong wind will hit and try to avoid taking this road during that time.
The three grandfathers and grandsons were not happy at all when they heard what he said. What do you mean, they just memorized it?
Or are you accusing them of taking two days' rest in Beiyang Town to soften their bones and actually delaying their trip, which resulted in the current consequences?
Old man Qi and Qi Kang'an both regretted it greatly. If it was true as this person said, if they walked forward for half a day and the official road turned a corner, they would no longer have to worry about the strong wind. It was really a shame that they had lost those old things and food this time.
Deserve it.
It is God who is waking them up.
After leaving Beiyang Town, because they no longer had to worry too much about encountering General Liu's soldiers who were too dangerous behind them, they also thought that Hefeng Town ahead would not be too difficult for them, and they still had enough food in their hands for the time being.
As a result, my heart relaxed unconsciously, and I felt that there was no need to rush as desperately as before. When I came across a place where the large team could rest, they rested when it was too hot during the day and rested when it got dark at night.
How much time wasted for nothing?
What they are most guilty of is that they harmed their beloved and cherished daughter.
Qi Kangan slapped himself in the face, which shocked Wu Haoyuan.
What kind of situation is this, beating yourself up?
