Chapter 52 Going the wrong way

The people who went to explore the road did not return until dark, but they brought two pieces of news.

One good news and one bad news.

The good news is that the road ahead is not very far from here, but there is no shortage of water in the city!

Everyone who listened cheered.

But the bad news is that the front is not Anyang Fucheng at all, but Oasis City.

"What? Oasis City? Where is that?" Li Zheng had never heard of it.

"We went in the wrong direction. Anyang Fucheng is in the southeast, so we went in the northeast." An Youde, who was going to explore the road, said.

Now everyone is panicking. What should we do? Liulin County was originally under the jurisdiction of Anyang Prefecture, but now they have gone in the opposite direction. What should we do?

"Then if we go back to Anyang Mansion, will we have to walk for a month to get there?" At this time, someone next to me asked, "We have been walking in the opposite direction for more than ten days..."

Now everyone was crying and discussing, and everyone was panicked and anxious.

"Youde, how did you get the news? How far is the Oasis City? Is it really close?" The patriarch ignored the crying and complaining villagers and asked his son to clarify the question.

An Youde shook his head, "How could such a good thing happen? Dad, we just came across a caravan not long after we left the mountain road. It was only the third brother who was brave enough to come forward and inquire about it! It seems we still have to walk to Oasis City.

A three-day journey, at the speed of our village, would not take five or six days?"

Five or six days…

Everyone was a little frightened when they heard this number. In five or six days, would they be able to reach Oasis City in their current situation?

Not to mention food rations, there is no water, how can we get there?

It’s not that we haven’t encountered any water sources in the mountains, it’s just that they are too dirty or too shallow and full of mud, so there isn’t much drinkable water at all.

"But Dad, the people in the caravan said that if we go a little further, the water problem can be solved. Although there is a drought here, the wells are all producing water, but there is no grain harvest! They said it only started this year.

Drought!”

An Youde added.

"Okay, this is really good news! Let's go forward first, and then make plans when we get to a place with water! It is absolutely impossible to return the same way. Not to mention the long distance, no food and no water, no one can

I can’t bear it! The only thing I can do now is save my life first!”

Although Li Zheng is a small village official, he is still very open-minded in asking for advice in front of the elder clan leader. Moreover, too many ancestors died along the way. There are not many knowledgeable old people in their village.

There are quite a few elderly people in the clan leader's generation.

The clan leader spoke, and everyone gathered together to discuss for a while. There was no better way, so this was the only way.

"Let's find a place to rest. It's getting dark. Let's set off again tomorrow morning! I think there are still some green plants in the mountains. If you know any non-toxic ones, please get some to deal with them! There will be some in front of you soon.

The water source is here! We are no longer afraid of the government officials chasing us behind, so we can breathe a sigh of relief!"

Li Zheng dismissed the people gathered together and allowed everyone to do some activities on their own, and then camped on the spot to sleep for the night.

However, the villagers of Shanbei Zhuangzi, who had encountered wild beasts several times along the way, had long been aware of precautions. Xia Qiyue, the five siblings, three siblings, took turns keeping vigil, and others also had to keep vigil.

Although they always have to stay away from others, they still have to be extremely careful when eating.

It was just dark that day, so Xia Qiyue didn't go with anyone to pick wild vegetables or anything like that. Her two children were taken care of by her sister, and she was not far from the clan leader's family, so she walked toward the crowd with confidence.

She wanted to find someone, and it was time to implement the things she had thought about all along.

She was carrying two children on her back along the way. Although the two children were thin, they still weighed two, thirty or forty pounds in total.

Whenever she couldn't carry her back or walk, she could always think of the kind of creative wheelchair she wanted to build.

However, there is no time to escape, and the uneven mountain road is not practical at all.

Now that she is fine, she is about to leave the mountain road, and she can implement this matter.

After searching for several times, I found Carpenter Gao in a place surrounded by several trees.

At this time, only Gao Carpenter was left to watch the ceremony. Gao Bai, his son, daughter-in-law, and grandson were not around.

Xia Qiyue didn't dare to go too close in the dark, so she walked for a while and stopped and shouted.

"Uncle Gao..."

Gao Carpenter quickly responded, "Hey? Who is it?"

After Xia Qiyue confirmed that the other party's identity was correct, she quickly said, "Uncle Gao, I'm from An Zichen's family. I'm here to ask you for some help!"

Gao Carpenter looked puzzled. Although the Gao family was doing well in the village, they were not able to help others.

He also knew something about the fourth family of the An family. This young daughter-in-law brought two children and a younger brother and sister, and she almost starved to death along the way.

Are you coming to see him now to borrow food from him?

Their family didn't have much food, so the mother-in-law, son, daughter-in-law, and grandson all went to look for wild vegetables in the dark.

Originally, they picked a little while waiting for the explorers here, and everyone else picked too, but when they heard that they were going out on the mountain trail tomorrow, and they didn't know if there would be anything to eat along the way, they couldn't help but follow.

Others went looking for him again in the dark, leaving him to look after his luggage.

"From Zichen's family, what do you want me to help you with?" Although Gao Carpenter had a lot of guesses in his mind, he still asked kindly.

Xia Qiyue quickly expressed her thoughts, "Uncle Gao, aren't you a carpenter? I'm here to ask you to help me build a chair, but don't worry, I will give you money!"

Gao Carpenter was completely confused. Hitting a chair? On the road to escape, she actually wanted to hit a chair? What to do? Sit when resting? Then carry it on her back while rushing?

If he really wanted to, he asked the question.

Unexpectedly, Xia Qiyue chuckled and explained, "Uncle Gao, this chair has wheels. When the official road is flat, I will put the two children and luggage on it and push it.

This is much easier than carrying it on your back!”

When Carpenter Gao heard that it was a chair with wheels, he became interested. A person who has been a carpenter for most of his life is extremely interested in these.

In this way, the two started chatting. Although it was dark, Xia Qiyue took out all the candles she bought from the grocery store in order to make Gao Carpenter understand and build a satisfactory chair for her.

Fortunately, there was no one around, they were all busy picking wild vegetables, so the two of them wrote and drew on the ground for a while. Carpenter Gao nodded to show that he understood, and it was not a big problem.

While Xia Qiyue was amazed at Carpenter Gao's strong understanding, he also admired the ability of the ancients to turn wood into various exquisite objects without using a single nail.

After emphasizing the detailed appearance of the wheelchair and the place for storing luggage under the chair that she designed, Xia Qiyue put out the candle and got up and walked to her resting place.

Gao Carpenter promised that he would not sleep all night to get out of the wheelchair.

Because she couldn't bear to part with it, she kept the carpenter's tools on her back and carried them all the way. Now they are of use.

Babies, continue to collect comments and votes.
