Although everyone is sad and scared, they also know that running away is the most important thing now.
As Li Zheng's words spread, everyone quickly packed up their things and left quietly overnight.
Fortunately, only a small part of Anzhou's cavalry came, and no one searched the mountain at night.
One night passed, Lin Jiao supported Jiang and followed the villagers down the mountain at dawn and quietly walked onto a small road.
No one spoke on the road, the atmosphere was very heavy, and everyone was focused on their way.
Some children were tired and cried, and their mouths were covered by adults and they were carried away.
After walking for more than two hours, we arrived at the foot of a mountain. The villages here were still fine, but there were almost no people in the village.
Everyone must have run away after hearing the news, but it should be safe here. Pei Zichuan caught up with Li Zheng and whispered a few words in his ear. Li Zheng nodded and waved to everyone, "Stop guys first."
Come on, let’s have something to eat before we’re on our way.”
If you keep walking like this, you will be exhausted.
From last night until now, some people haven't even had a drink of water.
When they heard they could rest, some people fell to the ground.
I am really too tired.
Some children's feet are worn out.
Luoluo also wanted to lie down on the ground, but Lin Jiao picked her up and asked her to sit on his lap.
"Luoluo, you can't just lie down like this, otherwise your legs will hurt after a while."
Lin Jiao said as she handed the bamboo tube hanging on her body to Luo Luo, "Drink some water first, and then eat some dry food."
"Sister-in-law, I can just sit by myself."
Luoluo was afraid of tiring her sister-in-law, so she obediently sat next to Lin Jiao.
The little girl was really obedient. She walked for such a long time without crying out in pain. Sometimes she even helped Lin Jiao get things.
"Sister-in-law, you also drink water."
Luoluo drank a few sips of water and didn't dare to drink any more.
In the morning, she heard from Brother Zichuan and the others that they should save water and dry food.
Lin Jiao took the bamboo tube, took out a pack of sugar cookies from the bag and gave it to Luoluo, "Take it and give it to mother and brothers."
She bought this sugar cake in the town.
It's just right now to replenish your physical strength.
Everything in the mule cart was in the space, and there was food in her space, so Lin Jiao was not afraid of going hungry along the way.
Five sugar cookies, exactly one for each person.
After finishing eating, Pei Zichuan also came back.
Lin Jiao thought that this person must have come over after seeing them finish eating, otherwise according to Jiang's temper, he would definitely give the food in his hand to Pei Zichuan.
Jiang is such a kind-hearted and obedient person.
"We will rest for half an hour before setting off. I asked my eldest brother and the others to look around. There is no danger here for the time being."
"Half an hour?"
Lin Jiao looked at the path ahead and found it was fairly flat.
"Then do me a favor and I'll treat you to some steamed buns after you're done."
Pei Zichuan: "..."
He felt that he should not come.
Asking Jin Yu to take care of Jiang and the two children, Lin Jiao took Pei Zichuan up the mountain.
They hadn't gone too far, and there was a bamboo forest here, which was still lush and lush.
Lin Jiao took out the knife and handed it to Pei Zichuan, pointed at a bamboo tree and said, "Help me chop ten of these thick bamboos."
"What do you use bamboo for?"
Pei Zichuan asked.
"Make a bamboo raft, people can sit on it and let the mules pull it."
Lin Jiao explained and walked to the other side.
She just saw that there are a lot of elm trees here. The skin of elm trees can be used as rope to tie bamboo.
She took the knife she got from Jin Yu and neatly peeled off the bark of the elm. When she was almost done, the bamboo on Pei Zichuan's side was also chopped.
Lin Jiao came back holding Langyupi and saw more than twenty bamboos piled on the ground.
Li Zheng has cattle at home, and Li Zheng also abandoned the cattle cart last night. After Lin Jiao just said what she said, she knew that Pei Zichuan would definitely get one of these things too.
That's why I called Pei Zichuan over.
The other families in the village did not have livestock, so Lin Jiao did not need to tell Li Zheng to let everyone do this.
"This thing can only be used on a flat path like this. I think I will throw it away by night. You don't have to make it too good. Just make it simple so that it doesn't spread easily."
Lin Jiao said while tying the bamboo.
Pei Zichuan nodded and saw that Lin Jiao had tied the two bamboos quickly, and he quickly took the elm skin and started tying it.
The two of them were fast, and in just a quarter of an hour, two simple bamboo rafts were ready.
Lin Jiao pulled her down the mountain, and Pei Zichuan followed behind and pulled the other one. He looked at Lin Jiao who was walking in front with dark eyes, and there was a hint of complexity in her deep eyes.
Now Lin Jiao is very good and treats the Pei family very well. She almost treats Jiang as her biological mother.
But given A Yuan's current status, Lin Jiao might not be worthy of him.
At the foot of the mountain.
When Mr. Jiang heard that Lin Jiao was back, he started to get busy.
I couldn't help but ask: "Jiaojiao, what did you do?"
Why doesn't this kid know how to take a break?
"Mom, I made a bamboo raft. You, Luoluo and Xiaoyan can sit on it later and let the mule pull you away. This will make it easier."
Lin Jiao put the bamboo raft on the mule, and the cart cover used to hitch the mule cart was just right for the bamboo raft she made.
"You kid, you are always thinking about what mom is doing. Even though mom is an old woman, she can still walk this way. You have worked hard enough. You can sit on this bamboo raft, but mom won't sit on it."
Jiang, who had always been obedient, was disobedient this time.
Lin Jiao was forced to sit on a bamboo raft.
When it was time to set off, Lin Jiao didn't even say anything to Jiang.
"Mom, is this okay? You, Jin Yu, and I will take turns sitting, and each of us will sit for half an hour."
Jiang thought for a while and then agreed.
But Jiang still insisted on letting Lin Jiao sit for an hour first.
She didn't even take a break to sit on the bamboo raft.
Lin Jiao stopped arguing with her and readily agreed.
Jin Yu held the mule, and after Pei Zichuan handed the bamboo raft to his elder brother, he came back to help Jiang.
He has a large family, his several children are taken care of by his sister-in-law, and the rest can take care of themselves. His current task is to take good care of Pei Yuan's family.
Only in this way can Cheng Nuo be worthy of Pei Yuan.
Lin Jiao ignored Pei Zichuan and sat there for almost an hour, then got off the bamboo raft and replaced Jin Yu with sitting there.
This is what Jiang said at the beginning, she must be the last one to sit.
The bamboo rafts are double-layered and very wear-resistant.
The journey was fairly uneventful, and except for meeting some people who were running for their lives like them, there were no accidents or dangers.
Gradually it got dark.
In order to be able to travel for a while, Li Zheng saw that there was no danger, so he asked everyone to light torches to light the way.
"Sister-in-law, drink water."
Xiaoyan got off the bamboo raft, handed the bucket to Lin Jiao and Jin Yu who was holding the mule, and handed another one to Pei Zichuan.
On this day, in order to save dry food, everyone did not eat much, but drank a lot of water.
After Pei Zichuan drank the water, he came over to find Lin Jiao.
