Chapter 141: The most difficult road since escaping
No matter good or bad, there is no doubt that Yin Zai has joined. Qi Bao'er likes it so much that he no longer sits on the horse and only sits on Yin Zai's back.
From the very beginning, the Lao Qi family thought that the old man was a little afraid of Yinzi. This was related to their rumor that there were a group of silver giant wolves living in the deep mountains. No one who had seen the silver giant wolf could come back alive.
.
As for no one coming back alive, how do you know it's the silver giant wolf?
It's not important, anyway, it's rumored that this thing can scare people as long as it's there.
The women even dared not come near, and the children were all restrained and could not go to Qibao'er's place to open a small stove.
As for Qi Bao'er herself, it was useless to worry, as she could not be controlled, and she was already escaping on Yin Zai's back.
Moreover, she had been with Yinzai for one night and Yinzai was very honest. Even a fool knew that Yinzai would tickle anyone but not her.
Walking here again in the morning, tired and thirsty, everyone no longer has much thought about Yinzi. Instead, sometimes they look at the thick hair of Yinzi in front and feel a little sympathetic.
Like a thick cotton-padded jacket, how hot is it?
Silver boy?
Yinzai said it was still OK because it had an air conditioner on its back.
It's just that when Mr. Qi had the courage to come over and take Qi Bao away during rest, it became no longer OK.
There is no way, they are a breed that is afraid of heat and cold, so when summer comes, they will hide in the mountains to escape the heat. If it hadn't been in trouble and had to escape, it would have found a cool cave cat to sleep in right now.
As a result, there was a scene like this in the team. Old man Qi was walking in front holding Qi Bao'er, and a big silver wolf behind him followed closely with his tongue sticking out.
The miserable appearance of Yinzi, who was wheezing and panting for hot breath, made Mrs. Tian feel a little pity for him.
If she likes him obediently, he must be a good wolf.
After convincing herself, Mrs. Tian hurriedly brought a small basin of water over. She was still a little scared, so she put the water on the ground from a distance, "Yinzi, come and drink quickly."
Oops, not only Ye Sanni and others, but also Qi Kangfu and the other men all looked at Mrs. Tian with admiration.
Yin Zai was so thirsty that he cast a grateful look at Mrs. Tian in a humane manner and trotted over, almost burying the wolf's head in the basin.
Mrs. Tian, who was quite scared at first, lost a lot of fear in her heart because of that gesture. She turned to the people of Lao Qi's family and said, "What are you afraid of? Yinzi is behaving well."
Haha, mother/in-laws/old sister-in-law/grandma Tian, just be happy.
It can be said that the most courageous person in this team besides Qi Bao'er is not Qi Kang'an, Qi Bao'er's father, but Yan Gui'an who joined later.
He was never afraid of Yin Zai from the beginning to the end, and he always looked at Qi Bao'er riding on Yin Zai's back with envious eyes.
If he could have one like this, his life would be worth it.
In the long road with no end in sight, Yinzi is just a small episode. I have been surprised, sighed, and afraid, and then gradually got used to its existence. On this escape road that always makes people so tired that their brains go blank, it takes time.
It doesn't even take two days.
Especially on the road, they often saw Yin Zai with his head held high, and Qi Bao'er standing on the horse with his hands in his mouth to play with "feeding water".
On the first day, everyone was talking and being afraid of Yinzai. On the second day, they had no feelings for Yinzai. Sometimes they even thought if they were so tired, if you were really in danger, you might as well give it to me now.
But it doesn't, so what can you do?
That evening, Qi Kangfu and Wei Ba, who had gone out on horseback to explore the road, came back and told them good news.
"There is a village about another hour away. There is no one in the village, but we can rest there for the night. Brother Lianba and I rode forward for a while and looked at the mountains."
At this time, for them, seeing the mountain was no longer a fear, but a happy event, which meant that they could find water and food.
Qi Kangan was so happy that he shouted back: "Did you hear me? There is a village in front of us. We will have a place to shelter from the wind at night. There may be a well in the village."
We can leave this plain tomorrow, and Fuzi and the others can look at the mountains."
Although looking at the mountains is a dead horse, maybe looking at the mountains means there is hope.
The team, which was already wilting, immediately regained its energy upon hearing these words. Someone shouted, "Come on," and the overall speed of the team's progress was visibly improved.
In less than an hour, they arrived at the village that Qi Kangfu had mentioned.
It was indeed an empty village. The men shouted for a long time, "Is there anyone there?" but there was no response. At this time, they didn't care about morals. They pried open the door and took a look, and found that ten rooms were empty.
There was nothing in every house, and it was obvious that the whole family had fled.
What disappointed everyone the most was that there was a well in the village, and there were two wells, one at the entrance of the village where they came in, and one at the end of the village where they were going out, but both wells were dry.
Everyone wanted to cry while sitting by the well. Although Fuwa was lucky enough to find water again along the way, this was not the same thing.
The wells are all dry, what does that mean?
This means that the ground so deep is already dry.
"Do it, do it all?"
Qi Kaishan shouted with a cold face: "I didn't listen to what Anzi said. We can leave this plain tomorrow. It doesn't matter if there is water in this well. Which of the water in our hands now can't withstand tomorrow?"
Who can show them all withered? Huh?
Anzi's family was looking for water and exploring the road for us. They didn't say anything yet, but you all shriveled up first.
I see you all getting angry like this. After we leave the plain, we all just disperse and don’t get together again. It’s not boring to be a burden to others, and it’s boring to keep crying all day long for people to look at you.”
Ouch, how can that be done?
There is hope if they follow Lao Qi's family, but if they really want to go on their own, they will be halfway there.
Moreover, they have long been accustomed to obeying the orders of the Lao Qi family, and if they suddenly hear that they are not allowed to follow, this is scarier than suddenly telling them that there is a deep cliff ahead and that they must line up and jump off one by one.
One by one they hurriedly got up.
A man apologized and said with a smile: "Fourth Azu, we were wrong, we are just tired."
"Don't be so playful. Why don't you go find a house by yourself? If you rest early, you can leave early tomorrow morning."
"Hey." The man immediately stopped smiling and went to push the cart.
Everyone hurriedly called people from each house to find a house instead of sleeping in the open.
This is the thing about energy and spirit. If you feel that there is no hope in the future, then you are not interested in living. But if you feel that there is hope, the difficulties in front of you are not difficulties.
Is it difficult to travel these three days?
Difficult, the most difficult road since escaping.
First, lack of water, and second, heat.
The more I walked, the more I felt that the air I breathed was scalding hot. I saw that the water in the earthen jar was getting less and less, so I didn’t dare to drink more water, and I didn’t have the grass roof on the roadside like before.
Especially today, I don't dare to say anything, and my throat hurts every time I open my mouth.
People can get hot if they walk a lot in winter, not to mention that in this hot weather, every step they take feels like it is killing them.
My hair had never been dry and was covered in sweat, and my clothes were dry, wet, and dry again.
