Being fooled by fierce beasts to travel through the beginning is fleeing famine

Qingyan got dressed and went out of the room, and saw Yin Keqin was feeding the big bear with a wooden basin.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, he turned his head and said with an embarrassed smile: "I just came back from fetching water and saw it staring at the bucket, thinking it was thirsty, so I fetched some water for it to drink.

I got some hay for it back, but it didn't eat it, and there are some vegetable leaves at home, I don't know if it can eat it? "

Qingyan shook her head and said: "No, it's fine to eat hay, it's just thirsty and wants to drink water first, feed it after drinking water and then eat."

She knew that Big Bear was spoiled by Chou Chou and always fed him fresh grass, of course he didn't want to eat hay.

This guy must be waiting to be fed by Chou Chou, but its wish is about to come true, so it's better to keep a low profile in someone else's house.

Big Bear could understand their conversation, so he calmed down the movement of drinking water. Hearing that Qingyan asked him to eat hay, he raised his head to look at her a little unhappy.

Qingyan stepped forward to rub it's mane in a funny way, and coaxed: "There is no fresh grass in this season, just bear with it, and I'll give you apples when I get back to the city."

Big Bear snorted, lowered his head and continued to drink water.

Yin Keqin looked on in surprise, "Miss Yang, can it understand us?"

Qingyan nodded with a smile, "Yeah, it should be because I have been with us for a long time. I often talk to it, so it can understand now."

She stretched out her hand to take the wooden basin from Yin Keqin, and said to him, "Let me feed it, do you want to carry water again?"

Yin Keqin waited for her to stabilize before letting go. He nodded and replied, "I have to pick two more buckets, so I'll go pick water. By the way, after breakfast, can Miss Yang teach us how to drive a cart? We're going to move the graves of our father and brothers and sisters, and then we'll have to drive an ox cart to pull the coffin. We're not very good at it."

When he got up early to fetch water, he happened to meet three other families who died outside like his family, so he told them about his idea, and they hit it off immediately, and decided to set off together after learning how to drive a car.

Qingyan blinked her eyes, so her driving skills are not very good?

She also knows some simple passwords, usually relying on Chou Chou to cheat.

While pretending to be curious about the situation of the other families, he called Chou Chou in his mind.

"What about Chou Chou? I don't know how to do it myself, so how do I teach it?"

Chou Chou reassured: "It's okay, you just agree, with my current ability, I can just give the animal that pulls the cart an obedient order."

Qingyan's eyes lit up, this is good!Didn't expect it to work like this.

The smile on his face deepened, and he said to Yin Keqin: "Then after dinner, we will learn it in the village and on the road outside. There are still some difficult roads to try, so that you will not be able to deal with them on the road."

Yin Keqin showed his white teeth in a smile, and nodded vigorously, "Hey! Alright, I'll go and tell them right now."

After saying that, he quickly walked out of the house with a wooden barrel and a pole.

After feeding the big bear with water and some hay, I took it out for a walk, and took it back after urinating in the clearing by the mountain.

As soon as I entered the yard, I saw the old lady waiting for her in the yard. Seeing her coming back with the horse, I asked what she was doing there. After knowing that she was going to the toilet outside, she said angrily, "Oh, our family is so particular. Just urinate in the yard. When the time comes, it will be cleaned up. The horse eats grass, and the dung doesn't smell bad.

For example, the cows raised by the patriarchs and the old families, the cow dung is dried and stored, and can be used as charcoal in winter. "

Hearing what the old lady said, Qingyan remembered that this place looks like the Northwest, where the ethnic minorities burn cow dung in many places.

Every time she finished feeding the big bear, she would ask him to defecate. Sometimes she couldn't help it on the road, and this guy would also be pulled on the road, but they passed by soon, and it was okay, but she would not let him be pulled nearby when resting.

The main reason is that her nose is too sensitive, which is much more sensitive than ordinary people's sense of smell, so she feels the smell is strong.

They didn't have breakfast until Yin Keqin came back from fetching water. At the dinner table, he said by the way that he had agreed with the young people of the three families that one person from each family would come to learn and try to learn how to drive a car today.

I don't know how many days Qingyan will stay here, she can't let the little girl teach them all the time.

When the time comes, let's see who can learn it first, and let him teach those who are stupid and can't learn it.

The patriarch and the clan's hometown have a total of five cows, and they have four families in total, so they just need to drive four cars to go out.

Fortunately, several families with cattle have cars, otherwise they would have to buy them, otherwise there would be no way to pull the coffin, and there would be no way to pull it back in one go.

Because the bullock cart is so big, it’s good to pull two coffins, but his family has three, so they can’t stack the coffins together, and they can’t stack them up even if they want to. The top of the coffins is curved, not flat.

"The other three families have at least two people who died outside, and it is impossible to help out. My family and Ke Hong's family have three people, so we still have to go twice."

Qingyan gave him an idea and said: "Since there are five cows, we might as well drive them together. You are four families, and it's not just four people. If there are more people in the three families, one more person will learn how to drive. Just go together.

Just drive the five cars out together, and find a family whose address is close to where you are going. When the time comes, the two will be brought back together, or you can ask the other party to help you make a special trip. "

Yin Keqin's eyes lit up when he heard the words, why didn't he think of it.

The places where the few families died outside were actually not far away, and almost all of them went southeast. After all, the other direction was outside the customs, and they died faster when they went out. They ran to the inland with hope.

So they are all on the same road, the location is slightly different.

The other three families, two of which died outside, and one family of which three died outside, were Yin Kehong's family.

In this case, five cars are just right, and the troubles have been solved. Yin Keqin's breakfast is even more delicious, and he ate two large pancakes in one sitting.

Their breakfast was pancakes left over from yesterday, another plate of scrambled eggs, and a pot of millet porridge.

There was no rabbit left from yesterday, and the three of us ate it up in the evening. The rabbit that was stewed directly without other side dishes really didn't have much meat except for the bones.

On the contrary, the villagers sent over a lot of eggs yesterday, as well as three old hens, as well as food and snacks, which were enough for the past few days.

After breakfast, Qingyan helped the old lady clean up the table and was pushed out of the kitchen by the old lady.

She washed her hands in the yard and followed Yin Keqin out the door. They went directly to the patriarch's house and agreed to meet there.

The door of the patriarch's house was open, and there was no one inside. The granddaughter-in-law of the patriarch's family had already returned to her natal family, and she was the only one left in the whole family. A woman dared not live here by herself.

Before they came here, they happened to pass by the little daughter-in-law's natal house, and told her about using the ox cart. After all, it was the property of the other party, and if they wanted to borrow it, they had to be told.

The man said that the ox cart would be owned by the village after that, including the house and fields of the patriarch's family. Anyway, she was alone, except for the dowry brought back to her natal family, everything else would be given to the village.

Although she married into the patriarch's family, to be honest, her life has not been very good.

After a few years of marriage, she was the only woman left in the family. She washed clothes, cooked meals, and took care of the children every day. She did all the housework alone. She didn't even have a helper. She was so tired every day.

It's not easy to take care of the children in their teens, but the housework in the house is endless every day.

When Qingyan came here early in the morning, she saw her washing clothes at home. That was normal. She washed the clothes of the whole family by herself, and also had to cook and clean. Although she didn't have to work in the fields, she never had idle time all day long.

Apart from the fact that her son's death made her very sad, the father-in-law in the family, the father-in-law and the man, died as soon as they died. She didn't care at all, and she didn't have a deep relationship anyway.

When she was young, she actually had a sweetheart, but because of the village's regulations, girls in the village must marry into the patriarch and the clan's hometown, which abruptly separated her from her sweetheart.

The most hateful thing is that her sweetheart was chosen as a sacrifice!
To be honest, she has always hated the patriarch's family these years. Like the villagers, she thinks that only the men of the patriarch's branch in Qi Nian Village enjoy the blessings of their ancestors, and all of them live long lives, at least they can live to be in their eighties without illness or disaster.

And those villagers, including the women who married into their family, were not protected at all. Not to mention that they would not live to be 40 years old, and they were worried that their family members would be chosen as sacrifices and lose their lives.

How can you not hate it?

Later, after she had a child, she bet her affection on her child, but as her son grew up, his personality became more and more like his grandfather and father, and he stopped kissing her.

Now that all the men in the family are dead, including her son, apart from being sad, she also feels a sense of relief.

Therefore, she has no idea about the property of the patriarch's family, and she can't keep it as a woman.

And now there is no patriarch, the tomb of the old ancestor has also collapsed, and the old ancestor is gone. Many people in the village gathered together to chat about this topic yesterday. It will definitely be different in the future. They should be able to interact with the outside world freely.

Many daughters-in-law who married in from outside are planning to go back to their natal home to have a look today. They could go back to their natal home before, but it is not easy for their natal family to come here.

Because the patriarch does not allow outsiders to stay in the village, even if the natal family comes, they have to leave on the same day they come. The daughters-in-law who are a little farther away rarely come because of this, and they simply cannot accept it.

Of course, most of them were married from the surrounding villages, and the farthest ones did not go to the county seat. They were all from some villages on the west side of Yunling County. This distance is safe for the people of Qi Nian Village.

In other words, the farthest the people of Qi Nian Village can walk is to the edge of Yunling County, and if they go any farther, they will die, and accidents will happen.

Those who escaped from the family had an accident within ten miles after passing the county seat. Yin Keqin's father and brother and sister had an accident on a mountain road. The people who came to report their funerals and bury them were the yamen servants from Lianxian County.

Hearing that they were going to Yunling County, Qingyan thought that if Chou Chou absorbed quickly, could she go with them?

Anyway, they are going in the same direction, and Chouchou can help them tame the cows a little more along the way, and they should be fine when they come back.

While waiting for the others, Qingyan asked when they set off.

Yin Keqin: "That's still to be determined. You have to ask the old people who understand these things. Graves can't be moved at any time. You have to count the days.

Most of them are the two days of Qingming and Zhongyuan, or you can find a Taoist monk to count as a good day. "

That being the case, Qingyan didn't ask any more questions, even if they confirmed the time, she wasn't sure about it.

"Chou Chou, when will you finish absorbing it?"

Although Chou Chou said two or three days at most, if it can be brought forward, anyway, she is going to stay here for two or three days, and leave after collecting the treasure, and let the rest follow the fate.

After waiting for about 10 minutes, everyone arrived. Three people came, namely Yin Kehui, Yin Kesheng, and Yin Kehong.

Yin Keqin told Yin Kehong about Qingyan's suggestion, and Yin Kehong told them to wait a while and ran home to call someone.

After a while, Yin Kehong brought his brother Yin Keyuan over. The two brothers looked very similar, with thick eyebrows and big eyes in Chinese characters.

Qingyan found that there are no short men in Qi Nian Village, the minimum is more than 1.7 meters five. Also, their ancestors were all tall and mighty royal guards, and the wives they married later were all from nearby, and the men here are not short.

They first brought out the ox from the patriarch's house, and then Qingyan first taught them how to hitch the ox cart to the ox.

Although Qingyan has never driven an ox cart, the method of this set of carts is similar, not much different from donkey carts and horse carts.

It's just that the rope that binds the cow is on the nose, while the rope on the horse and donkey is on the mouth. That's the difference.

After harnessing the ox cart, they went to drive the other four oxen out as well, then hitched all the carts and went on the road.

Let them sit directly on the shaft of the cart and try to drive forward. This is different from a carriage. Horses run fast, and they might jump out if they fail.

Cows, especially those who work and cultivate the land as adults, rarely go mad unless they are frightened, and they have been tamed very well.

Like the granddaughters-in-law of the patriarch's family, the daughter-in-laws who rented several clans' hometowns also returned to their natal families, and they have no objection to their use of ox carts.

Just return it to them when you come back after using it. After all, all these properties will belong to them in the future.

It's not that no one in the village cares about it, even if they have small thoughts, they won't do it too blatantly to take advantage of others.

And some of them are preparing to leave the village, wanting to venture outside.

Of course, most of them will stay, after all, people have lived here for several lifetimes.

If the village is still there, a new village chief needs to be elected. Yes, village chief, this time there will be no clan chief.

In the future, to worship ancestors, it is enough to go to their own ancestral graves on the mountain, and there will be no more cruel sacrifices.
