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

Chapter 213 Departure (seeking Subscription and Monthly Pass)
This tributary is called Hulu River, and the stone bridge above it is called Qingshi Bridge.

Seeing this blue stone bridge, Qingyan thought of Yin Keqin and several other family members coming out to move the grave a few days ago.

Both she and Chouchou remembered that they were going to come out in seven days, and they had been paying attention to them with their spiritual consciousness during those two days. Although they didn't come out to meet them, they still kept an eye on their movements.

It happened that on the afternoon of the seventh day, they drove an ox cart to the county seat.

The coffins bought in Qingfeng Town before should be insufficient, probably because of the materials. After all, the wood used in the coffins is specific, and they want so many at once, even if there is no problem with labor, the materials may not be enough.

This kind of wood does not mean that it can be made directly after cutting down the tree. Generally, it needs to be stored for a period of time, at least one or two years before the coffin can be made.

Because I didn't have all the coffins there, I finally went to the county town to buy two ready-made coffins.

They didn't stay in the city either, they bought some dry food, and drove the ox cart out of the city directly through the east gate.

Not long after leaving the city, Qingyan's spiritual sense couldn't reach her. Her spiritual sense could only see within two or three miles, and she couldn't see beyond this distance.

Chou Chou described the situation to her afterwards, and Chou Chou said that the four families did not go in the same direction.

After passing through two villages, Yin Keqin and Yin Kehong went to the mountains in the north, one of the other two went to a village in the south, and the other went east.

What's interesting is that although all the people who escaped had passed the county seat, none of them had walked across the bridge, and the farthest one was more than 100 meters away from the bridge.

It's as if the bridge is a boundary point, you can't cross it, you can only die on this side of the bridge.

Those people didn't know how they escaped. There were obviously roads to go, and they had to go to those trails in the wilderness, otherwise they wouldn't have died of wolves or bandits.

What's more, I don't know what those bandits were thinking. So many villages didn't come to plunder, but they chose to rob passers-by who seemed to have no money. It probably had something to do with the contract Yin Jin gave their ancestors.

The one more than 100 meters away from the river was buried in the wasteland by the roadside, and the new soil dug out there can be seen on the road.

As for why they were buried here, there is no way. After all, they are not from other people's villages, and they cannot be buried in other people's graves after death, and the burial is done by the government servants. Don't even think about finding a geomantic treasure. The land is not bad.

The carriage quickly walked to the stone bridge. This bridge looks like it has a long history. The stone slabs on it have been worn very smooth, and the patterns on the railings are almost worn out. It should be exposed to wind, sun and rain. Rain plus the reason for people coming and going.

On the head of the bridge is a pair of stone lions. The heads of the animals on them are all tilted. It must be that people often help them when they go on the bridge.

This stone bridge is quite wide and can accommodate two carriages in parallel.

Qingyan couldn't help sighing again at the wisdom of the ancients. Although the water surface of the Hulu River is not very wide, it is more than ten meters long. It is very rare that a stone bridge is so strong that it has not collapsed for so many years.

The carriage on the stone bridge is also very stable, not at all like the bridges of later generations. If you take a cart, it will shake flickeringly, making people feel very insecure.

After crossing the bridge and walking less than two miles, we left the boundary of Yunling County.

Because she was not far from the bridge, she saw a boundary stone with the three characters of Hongfeng County engraved on it, indicating that this was entering the boundary of another county.

I don't know how the name Hongfeng County came about, maybe there is a red mountain.

Ask Chou Chou: "How far is Hongfeng County from here? Is it also on this official road?"

Chou Chou looked at it with his spiritual sense and replied: "From here to Hongfeng County, you have to go southeast along the official road for more than 30 miles, and that county is smaller than Yunling County.

The boundary of Yunling County is mainly on the northwest side, and more than 30 miles here belong to Hongfeng County. After passing the county seat and going southeast, there are only three or four miles left to be the boundary of another county.

Counting from our place, there are still two counties separated from the Fucheng, which is only a hundred or so. "

Qingyan nodded, "It's getting dark now, let's go further and find a place to rest."

Anyway, I don’t plan to go to the county to stay in an inn, nor will I stay in the village, and I bought a lot of things before, and I’m not in a hurry to go to the county to replenish, so I can walk slowly.

After coming out of the county, the carriage kept going unhappily, and she always walked while looking at the scenery.

In addition, it was almost noon when they went out, so they only walked a dozen miles this afternoon, and they were still more than 20 miles away from Hongfeng County.

Seeing that it was past seven o'clock in the evening, I used my spiritual sense to find a relatively flat open space in a relatively desolate place by the roadside.

The open space is on the north side of the road, more than a mile away from the official road. Because the road in the past was very uneven, they did not drive the carriage over, but directly unloaded the carriage and put it in the space. Qingyan, Chouchou and Rich Riding on a big bear.

At least it is more comfortable and faster than riding in a car.

If it wasn't for the use of spiritual consciousness, that place would not be visible on the official road.

Because there are many trees and dry grass in the middle, the terrain over there is lower than this side, not to mention night, and it can't be seen during the day.

It's just right to put the wooden house in this kind of place, and it can't be placed on the side of the road. After all, this is an official road, and there are still pedestrians and vehicles coming and going.

At that time, people will stop and take a look curiously. If someone comes to beg for saliva, it will be quite troublesome. It is better to stay far away and try not to be disturbed by others.

Next to a stone, there are two trees at the front and back, and the wooden house is released, so that it can block some wind.

The wind and sand here are very strong. Fortunately, they walked all the way to the southeast, and the northwest wind was blowing. It happened to be walking along the wind, so it was not uncomfortable.

But that's it, as long as there is no one on the road, Qingyan will get into the car and let Daxiong go forward by himself.

She just sat outside for a few hours, and the face that was blown by the wind and sand would be dry. If she hadn't got a cloth to cover her face and made a temporary scarf, she would feel that her face would be blown Cracked.

She has been putting on a lot of lipstick every day for the past few days, and she only brought that tube of lipstick, which is half gone, and she is worried, what should I do if there is no more lipstick?There is no place that sells lipstick in this ancient times.

By the time the wooden house was put away, it was almost dark. Although it was so gray that I could still see things clearly, it was already quite dark.

In fact, this wooden house is quite conspicuous. After all, it is newly built, and the wood is new and the color is lighter.

If this is placed in some conspicuous places, it can be seen at a glance.

Qingyan thought about whether to put a layer of yellow mud on the outside to disguise it as an adobe house, so that it should not be conspicuous.

But Chou Chou doesn't like it, this will always be received in the space, if it is painted with yellow mud, it will definitely be dirty when it is put in the space.

Since he and Qingyan tidied up the space, it also likes to be tidy now, unlike before when things were piled up in disorder, all the things put in are neatly placed.

Since Chouchou said so, Qingyan had no choice but to give up, anyway, just stay for one night, and put it away early the next morning.

Because the outside is full of dry grass and branches, it is very troublesome to clean up, so cooking is done directly in the wooden house with a charcoal stove.

I used a small pot to fry two dishes, a scallion fried lamb and a vegetarian radish slice. The steamed rice and biscuits before the staple food are available.

Qingyan thought that if she came to a town or county in the future, she could go and see if there were steamed buns for sale, and she could also buy more storage space. She was too lazy to make the staple food, and she didn't know how to make steamed buns mainly, so she could buy them. Ready-made, buy more, can save a lot of trouble.

Because of the northwest wind, the side with the windows faces south, and the one with the chimney mouth faces east, so this position is just right when you open the windows when cooking, and the oily smoke will float out directly, so don’t worry about too much oily smoke in the house smell.

Big Bear also has its own "room", which is on the left side of the wooden house, where the carpenter specially asked the master carpenter to make the eaves 1.5 meters longer, and below is a foldable hoarding made of wooden boards and hinges.

Open it and you can surround the big bear inside, as long as you surround it with a mat or fur, you can keep warm.

This is a temporary small stable, and it was Qingyan's own idea. Originally, she wanted to make it into a suite. Chouchou said that horses prefer to be outside, and it is not good to be too closed, so she came up with this method.

In this way, not only can it see the outside, but it will not be drenched if it rains or snows.

Now just open the wooden boards on both sides. If it gets colder, you can wrap an extra layer of mat or fur to keep warm.

The chimney of the stove is on this side, and there is a fast gap on it, so you don't have to worry about it being smoked, anyway, its horse head is on the other side, and the horse's buttocks are on this side.

As for grazing and drinking water, there is a stone trough on a wooden shelf, which is a food trough dug by Ugly with a long stone.

Two pits were dug, water was placed on one side and fodder was placed on the other, the height was just below its mouth, and it was easy to eat.

Because the big bear is very human now, and there is no need to tie it up. As long as it is instructed, it will not run around. Therefore, an exit is left for it, and it can go out for a stroll at any time, and go back when it is sleeping.

This is the first time to use this wooden house in the wild, although I tried it in the yard before, and it is completely fine for sleeping, but it is the first time in the wild, Qingyan still thinks it is very fresh and fun.

After the meal, the smell dissipated for a while, so I closed the window, and then drew the curtain inside, because there was a plastic sheet on the window, and the wind disappeared immediately after closing the window, and then closed the curtain, so that the outside could not be seen at all. go inside.

The temperature inside the room should be in the twenties, which is just right.

Qingyan filled the copper pot she bought earlier with water and put it on the stove, heating the water while keeping warm.

Wait for the water to heat up for a while for washing, and if it boils, you can also make tea and drink it, killing two birds with one stone.

Qingyan didn't use oil lamps for the lighting inside the house, it was used in an emergency when there were outsiders, and the smoke was so choking that people couldn't light it up, and now there are no outsiders, so the small piece of Lingshi was used directly for lighting .

The spirit stone was still in the glass bottle, and placed directly on the table beside it. The light was bright and soft, and the things in the room could be seen clearly without dazzling.

And there are curtains to block, so the light does not leak from the windows to the outside.

The curtains before were no good. The floral silk fabrics I bought at that time just felt good-looking, smooth and beautiful, just like the custom-made curtains used in later generations.

She also specially made it longer, although it does not hang down to the ground, there is still more than half of it. It feels really good-looking, but the light transmission is too strong, and it is easy to see through if there is light in the room.

So Qingyan added another layer of thick cotton cloth inside. To be precise, she added two layers, one layer of coarse cloth and one layer of cotton cloth, and then sewed them together. It looks good, but the inside is not transparent, so there is no delay.

After the water in the kettle boiled, Qingyan used the wooden basin to freshen up, mixed warm water into it, washed her hands, washed her face and brushed her teeth, then changed another basin and soaked her feet in slightly warmer water.

Although he drove a carriage all the way and didn't walk, after all, he was wearing shoes and socks that day, and after wearing them all day, he still felt comfortable with bubble feet.

Especially in the current weather, the whole body is warm after soaking, and it is the most comfortable to go to bed.

After washing, I put away the pots and kettles, added a few pieces of charcoal to the stove, and sealed the air outlet below with stickers, leaving only a few openings. Then I buckled the chimney and burned it slowly. The temperature can be maintained almost until midnight.

Picking up the spirit stone lamp and going to bed, took off the outer padded jacket, and lay on the bed wearing the jacket inside, stuffing the spirit stone bottle directly into the shoulder bag next to the pillow, and the room was instantly plunged into darkness.

Before she was washing up, Youqian who was warming her quilt crawled out of the quilt and lay down next to the pillow.

Qingyan yawned, and now there was only the crackling sound of burning charcoal in the room, and the whistling wind outside.

"It's much better than resting in the carriage, it's like being at home, there's not much difference."

Chou Chou nodded, "Of course, one is a narrow carriage and the other is a small house, the difference is huge."

I don't know if I'm rich or not, if I transformed into an orange cat, but it also has the habit of a cat.

Although he also liked to sleep next to her before, he always either pressed on the quilt or got into the quilt, but now he likes to sleep next to the pillow, and curled up directly next to the pillow.

It is really similar to the habits of the orange cat in grandma's house.

Qingyan turned sideways and put one hand on its furry body, the soft touch made her rub it.

You Qian turned over, turned his belly out, and hummed to her twice.

Qingyan moved around with a smile, and it purred immediately, and stretched its body comfortably.

This really turned into a kitten.
