Take space to raise cubs on the road to escape

Chapter 175
After breakfast the next day, the people who had stayed here for nearly half a month finally started.

Different from the past, this time everyone is much lighter and their steps are much lighter.

They were the last ones to leave Panshan, and the government servants and hired laborers who dealt with the aftermath left before evening yesterday.

Nearly half of the entire mountain road was blocked a few hundred meters away. No wonder it took so long to clear it.

Gu Lan, who was driving, looked at the potholed road and sighed.

Even if everyone walked slowly, they passed through this section of the road quickly, and finally they were one step closer to Jiaocheng.

With more than a dozen horses, the next journey was much faster.

In the past, it took two or three days to reach Jiaocheng. With their current speed, it is estimated that tomorrow will be almost the same.

In fact, it has been decided that there is no need to go through Jiaocheng to go to Yunzhou City. The reason why I still go is to complete all the things I need at once, especially the carriage.

With a clear goal, everyone seems to be full of energy, and their feet are extremely fast.

The road went smoothly until the sunset, and before dark, everyone stopped at a place that was obviously a grain drying ground.

There is a village not far away, and it seems that they have also been spotted. At this moment, several people are walking here.

After walking in, there was an old man and several middle-aged men.

Seeing this, Village Chief Li hurried forward.

"Who are you? Why did you appear in our grain drying yard?" The old man frowned and looked at a group of people who suddenly appeared in his village.

There are too many people to worry about.

The clothes are shabby, and the family looks like a refugee, but the few cars and the dozen or so horses make the old man not sure.

Therefore, in the end, it was not asked if he was a refugee.

"Sorry, it's our fault. We should say hello to Guicun. We are just passers-by who have gone to relatives. We are planning to rest here for a night. Brother, don't worry, we will leave tomorrow morning and will never disturb you .”

"Are so many of you going to seek refuge with relatives?" Seeing that the visitor spoke politely, the old man felt a little relieved, but he obviously didn't believe Village Chief Li's words. How could so many people seek refuge with relatives.

"Yes, we are a big family, and the family suffered a disaster, so we dragged our family along. Brother, don't worry, we are not bad people, and we are not short of food. We will not wander around if we just stay here."

Village head Li quickly assured that he understood the feelings of these people. If it were him, there would be so many people outside his village, and he would not be at ease.

Although the old man was still worried, but looking at them and those fat and strong horses, he believed a little bit what the people in front of him said.

These people are indeed a little different from the refugees I have seen. Although their clothes are shabby, they are clean, and they are not like the refugees whose eyes are red and skinny, and their eyes are very scary.

Although they are thin, they are not exaggerated, and their eyes are sharp. The children among them seem to be in better condition, and they even saw a few chubby ones. At least it is true that there is no shortage of food.

As long as there is no shortage of food, the old man will feel more at ease, and don't have to worry about them going to the village to grab food. Besides, these people have already stopped here, and they can't drive them away if they want to. Fortunately, the grain drying ground is in There is still some distance outside the village, so they can still take precautions.

"Village chief, do you really want them to stay here?" The few people who came with the old man were also worried and whispered in their village chief's ear.

"What can we do otherwise? Don't forget that there are not many more people in our village than them. I don't think these people have clear eyes and don't look like bad guys. Let's just stay overnight."

They are just a small village, and they really don't have much confidence if they are tough.

Immediately he said: "It's really not easy to go out, so I will allow you to rest for a night here, but I hope that as my brother said, don't disturb us, and there is a small stream in the northwest corner of here, if you want to get water, you can go there .”

"Of course, I keep my word. My brother is very kind. Thank you for telling me where the water source is." As he spoke, Village Chief Li bowed.

"You're welcome." The old man nodded, looked at the people in the grain drying field, suppressed the restlessness in his heart, turned and left with a few juniors.

The arrival and departure of these people in Lijia Village didn't pay them too much attention.

They saw too many supercilious looks along the way, and they took it all to heart so that they would not be exhausted.

Xenophobia is a very normal phenomenon. It is all for self-protection, and everyone understands it.

Knowing where there is water, young and middle-aged people go to fetch water together.

In fact, the water was fully filled when we left, and we didn’t use much water in just one day, but since there is a water source, there is no need to waste the stored water.

Originally, Gu Lan was going to go, but was stopped by Xiang Yunjin.

Xiang Yunjin: "You have a day's journey, take a break, I'll fetch water."

"But the wound on your body..." Gulan glanced at the injured part. Although the wound had almost recovered, Gulan was still a little worried about the weight of the bucket of water.

This is a half-person-high wooden barrel, and it is perfectly fine to hold an adult.

"Underestimate me, it's just a bucket of water, besides, my arm is fine." Xiang Yunjin waved his hand carrying the bucket.

"Okay, just pay attention to yourself." Gulan didn't insist after thinking about it. He said there was no problem, so it must be no problem. This guy still cherishes his body very much.

Besides, it is rare to take the initiative to work, so it should be supported.

Then he stopped paying attention to Xiang Yunjin, and quickly unloaded the bamboo tied outside the carriage to set up a tent, and the big girls followed to help.

An An knew that she was too young, so she honestly stayed aside with Dahei, and did not drag her mother back.

When Xiang Yunjin came back with a big bucket of water, Gu Lan's tent was almost ready.

Not only Gulan, but others are also setting up tents or simple sheds.

The grain drying ground is very spacious, even if all of them set up tents, they can still survive.

Everyone was busy with their work, and they were used to sleeping under the shed during those days when they were stuck in the Panshan Mountains. They couldn't even sleep in the open air without a shelter from the wind. After all, it was really cold at night now.

Gulan's things are ready-made, and with Xiang Yunjin's return, Gulan's tent was set up very quickly.

It wasn't until Gulan started to make dinner that other people's tents were finished.

There are stewed pork and pancakes pasted in advance, all you need is a porridge with wild vegetables.

I didn't plan to do anything too complicated. She is not an iron man, and she is really tired after driving the carriage for a day.

Eat well, clean up, the twilight is already thick, except for the burning fires around, even the crescent moon is hidden in the dark fog, the whole world is dark.

Except for the night watchman, everyone soon fell into sleep.

The same goes for Gulan. I thought that after eating and resting for a while, my physical discomfort should be much better, but for some reason I still feel that my body is soft, especially my waist and stomach, which are very uncomfortable.

So Gulan lay down in the tent with his son in his arms and rested early.

Xiang Yunjin still sleeps in the carriage, and the carriage has become his exclusive room these days. Although the space is limited, he sleeps in a good posture and doesn't feel crowded.

　The taste of Calvin is really uncomfortable, and he suddenly got stuck there (﹏ )
