Chapter 7
Zhou Qiang sighed: "Plum rain and plum rain, there may be no rain. There was no rain last year. There was a period of early summer that was quite comfortable. The day was sunny, the morning and evening were cool, and the clothes were dry and dry every day. As a result, once the comfortable days passed, it would be midsummer Yes. It’s still far from the summer solstice, and the temperature is quite high. It’s been in the sun for several days, and then it hasn’t rained.”

There is a plum rain, so the counties mentioned by the guy are almost all in the Jianghuai River Basin.In the situation he mentioned, Chen Fan had a little impression that it was Kongmei.In the year of empty plums, there is likely to be severe drought.

"Is it possible that the rainy season will be delayed this year?" Chen Fan asked him.

Zhou Qiang nodded: "It's possible. But if the summer solstice can enter the plum blossom, it's not too late. With such a large number of people walking on the road now, it's better to enter the plum blossom late, otherwise you will suffer if you get wet on the road."

Xiang Jian and Mo Jian had already returned to the carriage at this time, and got into Zhang Ci's carriage.After saluting, they sat down and relayed the conversation between Chen Fan and Zhou Qiang to Zhang Ci.

"Did she really ask that guy what day it is today?" Feng An asked.

"Yes." Xiang Jian nodded, "That young man gave her a strange look."

Feng An smiled: "She doesn't know how to inquire about the news without showing any traces, but she will be fine in the future, she is just a little confused now." He looked at Zhang Ci again, pointing to the sky: "She did come from the outside Are you here?"

Zhang Ci was noncommittal: "Maybe she is good at hiding."

Feng An didn't say much, he waved his hand slightly, and Xiang Jian and the others saluted and left.

Chen Fan sat dully for a while, then went to chat with those children.

There was the sound of rolling approaching, and Chen Fan casually turned his head to take a look.

She saw three carriages and two riders, tall and slender, with serious faces.

With just one glance, she lowered her head.Although the carriage is not luxurious, but such a big battle, it is probably not an ordinary family.Five horses, three entourages or bodyguards, and the coachman don't look crooked. Could this be an ordinary family?If she meets someone with a bad temper, she will be whipped by the other party if she looks twice more, right?

She lowered her head and glanced at the refugees around her, and they also lowered their heads.

Well?So well-trained?Didn't you want to watch it for a while longer?Why can't a child hold back his head?

Chu Sheng and Qin Zheng opened the curtain a little bit, and stuck in front of the gap to look at Chen Fan, but Chen Fan quickly lowered his head.

The two put down the curtain and sat up straight, one rubbing his palms and the other shaking his small fist.

"Have you seen her long legs? They are so long, she must be tall, right? Her shoes are so strange, I have never seen such shoes. Looking at her from a distance, she is so sassy It's so charming, sitting there now is so quiet and lazy. Her face is so dark and she looks good, how can there be such a good-looking person? I really want to get out of the car and talk to her, what should I do?"

"When I get to the place where I live, I must ask Mo Jian and the others what it means to fall from a tree, ah no, to fall from midair. What did we miss?"

Qin Zheng pinched her: "Calm down."

Chu Sheng took a breath from being pinched, but didn't make a sound of surprise.She couldn't help raising the curtain again to look over, but a bunch of refugees blocked her, so she couldn't see it.She turned around annoyed.

The carriage wheeled to the front, and the refugees raised their heads one after another and began to discuss in low voices.

Not curious?impossible.

They sat for a while longer, got up and walked on.Chen Fan looked at the sky, it's almost time to set up camp when we stop next time, right?
The horse team moved quickly, and soon came to a fork in the road. Go forward to Yuanfeng County, and turn left to Shengping County.Zhang Ci handed Feng An a roll of paper and told him to give it to Chu Sheng.

Feng An got out of the carriage and told Chu Sheng to stay.Chu Sheng's face brightened, seeing everyone looking at her, he straightened his expression immediately.

Feng An said that there were no horses, pointed to the south, and then pointed to his feet.Chu Sheng's face was broken, but he recovered quickly. He packed his bag and got out of the carriage with a normal expression, and jumped forward.

When Chen Fan and the others arrived at the intersection, it happened that Chu Sheng was sitting there alone.

The sun hangs a little high at five or six o'clock in summer, and the sky is still bright.Chu Sheng arched his back, lowered his head, and squatted in the open field, with a lone cloud in the sky, feeling a little lonely.

She raised her head, saw Chen Fan and the others, showed a pitiful expression, and stood up.

Zhou Qiang's grandma said: "Girl, why are you here alone?"

Chu Sheng pointed to the west: "I came from there, so I dare not go any further."

Chen Fan was speechless and looked up at the sky.

The old lady expressed kindness: "It's getting dark today, so let's go on the road with us, girl. If you walk two days ahead, you will arrive at Yuanfeng County. Yuanfeng County is a good place."

Chu Sheng happily thanked the old lady and asked her what to call her.The old lady said her surname Zhou, and Chu Sheng sweetly called Grandma Zhou, and the old lady smiled happily.

Chen Fan thought that girl's voice was very pleasant, so he took a second look.

Well, this girl looks good and dresses well.Although it is an old cloth, it is smooth.

Everyone walked through the fork in the road and walked south together.The sun is slowly sinking to the horizon, and the sky is gradually dyed with a few strands of orange, silver gray, and gradually becomes indigo.

The group stopped, set up the pot, and started to boil water to cook porridge.

Chu Sheng opened the bag, took out a cloth bag the size of a fist, and handed it to Mrs. Zhou.The old lady opened it and saw that it was brown rice. She grinned happily and said, "Good girl, good girl, it's really hard for you."

Chen Fan didn't have anything on hand, so he didn't say polite words to them.She looked at Zhou Qiang and his trolley, as well as the several wooden barrels and large baggage on the trolley, they could be regarded as having a lot of luggage.For the three newly joined families, there are only one or two small burdens left.

After everyone cooked the porridge, Zhou Qiang brought a bowl of porridge to Chen Fan.

Chen Fan didn't feel hungry, but he still took the bowl and said thank you.She glanced at Chu Sheng, saw that she had finished the porridge in two or three bites, and handed the bowl to Mrs. Zhou.

Chen Fan smiled, and finished the porridge in a few sips: "How many meals do you eat a day now?"

Zhou Qiang said that they now eat two meals a day, and that they have finished their dry food, and there is still some rice left to cook porridge.

"Who do you arrange to be on duty today?"

"My father and I are on duty in the first half of the night, and my second aunt and second uncle are on duty in the second half of the night."

In such a large family, there are actually only three grown men, and the rest are women and children.Chen Fan nodded: "Brother Zhou, let's go eat quickly. I can also stay in the first half of the night."

Zhou Qiang left with the porridge bowl.Everyone spread a few pieces of cloth and sat around together.Qian Xiaoya approached Chen Fan and sat beside him.She is the six-year-old sister of the pair of brothers and sisters. Today, she has been by Chen Fan's side, and Chen Fan even hugged her for a while.

Chen Fan found a tree and sat down, leaning against something to feel more comfortable, even though the bark was rough and harsh.

Qian Xiaoya leaned against the tree and said, "Sister, you have a fragrance on your body, it smells so good."
