Early the next morning, everyone had some strength, got up, and got ready to hit the road.
It won't take long to get out of the mountain road. According to An Youde, it will be easy to walk once we get out of the mountain road and onto the official road.
Xia Qiyue and the other five took care of themselves again. She no longer needed to teach them. The other four people had already put makeup on their faces and looked no different from the others.
Moreover, when carrying luggage and children, her movements were slow and her mouth was dry. Xia Qiyue even made it look like it was dry and cracked.
But just to be realistic, I haven’t drank water since last night.
After Li Zheng gave the order, everyone started to walk. Xia Qiyue looked for Carpenter Gao's shadow in the crowd intentionally or unintentionally, and actually found him in the crowd. However, the wheelchair had not been made yet, but Carpenter Gao's luggage was
There were a lot more, she guessed, it was probably the wood made by Carpenter Gao.
Indeed, as she had guessed, Carpenter Gao had already finished a lot of parts, and when they were all finished and assembled one by one, it would look like the wheelchair that Xia Qiyue drew.
Everyone ate almost the same thing, which were wild vegetables picked last night. When Xia Xinghe handed a handful of wild vegetables to Xia Qiyue, Xia Qiyue was stunned for a moment.
She didn't bother to pick wild vegetables, but her brother actually went to pick them.
Xia Jiuyue whispered in her ear, "Sister, eat a little to show off, we haven't eaten in two days!"
Xia Qiyue understood that these two younger siblings could be so attentive.
She knew that if there was no golden finger, if there was no protection and cooperation from her younger brothers and sisters, she would die here faster than a bird.
"Okay, but just show off and eat less of this sour and unpalatable stuff!" Xia Qiyue whispered.
Chatting along the way, a few people took the so-called wild vegetables, just putting them in their mouths, eating a little at most, just to show off, but the aunties who saw them felt pity for them.
After walking for less than two hours, we reached the official road. Xia Qiyue found that it was quite peaceful compared to the mountain road.
It is difficult to walk on such a road without much effort.
After walking up the official road for about half an hour, Li Zheng asked everyone to sit down and rest, take a breath and rest.
Xia Qiyue discovered that Carpenter Gao was still working, and she discovered that the wheels of the wheelchair had also been formed.
When Gao Carpenter said he made it all night, he was not exaggerating. He probably didn't sleep all night.
However, Xia Qiyue had already made a decision in her heart. The wages were indispensable. Not to mention that this wheelchair was novel and difficult to make. Even if Carpenter Gao worked for her day and night on the road to escape from the desert, she couldn't lose money.
People.
Sure enough, when it got dark and he stopped to rest, Carpenter Gao found Xia Qiyue and said that it was done.
Seeing Carpenter Gao carrying something like a treasure all the way and finally making it look like this. The car is not a car, and the chair is not a chair. Everyone came over to watch out of curiosity.
This time the resting place was on the flat ground next to the official road, so as soon as Xia Qiyue got the wheelchair, she couldn't help but push it around and give it a try. She was not disappointed. The wheels of this wheelchair were very flexible.
"It's from Zichen's family, what is this? It doesn't look like the chair is a chair or a car!"
The first one to ask was Wang Dazuizi. Although her son was dead, it still failed to make her depressed for a few days. Her gossiping nature was not suppressed.
Xia Qiyue explained to Wang Dazuizi, then pushed the wheelchair back, and asked her younger siblings to put the luggage except the bedding on the special luggage compartment below. She took five taels of silver and found Gao Carpenter's house.
When Gao Bai saw so much money, he said it was too much and refused to take it.
"Aunt Bai, just keep it, it's worth it because my uncle Gao stayed up all night to help me make a wheelchair!" He said, pushing the money. "Aunt, keep your voice down, I'm afraid that the other side will hear...
"
Gao Bai still didn't understand anything, so she immediately lowered her voice, and then took the money obediently, but she was still a little confused. Didn't the Chen family say they didn't get a penny when the family was divided? Why?
Can you get so much money now?
Xia Qiyue seemed to understand what she meant, and explained with a worried look on her face, "Fortunately, my mother's bracelet was sold for some money. The two children are already three years old after all. Carrying two people all the way, I
This shoulder has been worn out for a long time. I have no strength and I really can’t carry it anymore. No matter how important money is, it is not as important as my children. Auntie, I don’t think about anything right now. I just want to take good care of my two children.
Just raise him up..."
Gao Bai sighed, "My child, your life is miserable. I don't know what happened to your man. It would be great if you could come back!"
He patted her on the shoulder and winked at his daughter-in-law, who immediately brought a handful of his own wild vegetables to Xia Qiyue, "Sister Qiyue, take it back and eat it with the children! Although it's not a good thing, it can still be good.
Feeling full!”
Xia Qiyue took it immediately, thanked him profusely, and left with the wild vegetables.
There's something new to deceive people tonight.
But as soon as she returned, she found Mrs. An and Liu Mei looking around the wheelchair, and even reaching out to give it a try.
The younger brothers and sisters watched carefully, fearing that the old woman would snatch the things away.
Seeing Xia Qiyue's return, Liu Mei immediately stepped forward to speak with a smile on her face.
"Fourth brother and sister, what did you and Carpenter Gao buy? It's so pretty!"
Xia Qiyue glanced at Liu Mei, and it was not easy to talk to her eldest sister-in-law in public, so she said, "Wheelchair!"
But it's just two simple words. Didn't she ask what it was? Then tell her, and you can't blame her for disrespecting your elder sister-in-law.
There are many ancient laws. If you don't follow the rules, you will really be pointed at and poked in the back.
Seeing Xia Qiyue's cold and indifferent attitude, and thinking of Ge Mingyu's miserable state, Liu Mei stopped thinking and returned to the old lady. She stretched out her hand to push the old lady who was still nudging the wheelchair.
"What are you doing?" The old lady turned her head and glanced at Liu Mei displeased, and Liu Mei immediately told her with a wink that Xia Qiyue was back.
The old lady straightened her face and turned around, "Why did you leave the child behind? Let me tell you! We Zichen just joined the army, not died. If you dare to mess around, be careful with your skin!"
When Ke'er and Xuan'er heard the old woman talking like this, they both ran towards their mother in fright, holding her legs on one side and looking at the old woman secretly.
"What are you talking about, mother? Aren't you afraid of ruining your grandson's reputation by telling nonsense? We Xuan'er still have to study for the imperial examination! We can't lose our reputation!"
Xia Qiyue knelt down, comforted the two children, and whispered two words into Xuan'er's ear, "pretend to be sick."
She didn't want to confront the old lady at all now. She could tell at a glance what the old lady was here for, and she didn't want to argue with her.
Xuan'er had already had experience by pretending once, and besides, the person in the dark couldn't see his expression. He was already prepared. After a while, he coughed hard and pretended to faint after what grandma said.
