Chapter 844: Detour

When I came back from the unfinished building, the smell of feces, urine and fat powder lingered on the tip of Pegas's nose for a long time, and even after it fell asleep, it still appeared in the dream.

In a dream?

"Brother Fei!

Someone is calling for it.

Although it didn't open its eyes, it subconsciously squatted up, raised one of its front paws next to its head, and gestured like scissor hands—this is the most pleasing action it performs when taking photos with fans, and it has formed a conditioned reflex.

"Brother Fei, are you ......?"

It opened its eyes, and the slightly younger old tea appeared in its field of vision, staring at its scissorhands in confusion.

Pegasus quickly put his front paws behind his head, pretended to tickle, and looked sideways.

A long procession of horse-drawn carriages rested not far away, the smoke wafting with the smell of cooking.

The carriage was enclosed in a circle, and the female dependents were placed in the inner circle for protection, and a curtain was hung to prevent ill-intentioned men from peeping.

The men in the procession were all sleeping outside the carriage, and they were getting up one after another, and everyone was full of exhaustion on their faces, and as soon as they opened their mouths, they sighed and complained.

The vigil returned with birds, shotguns, and machetes, and most of them fell asleep to try to get a good night's sleep before they set off, and as for breakfast, they could eat while walking, and a few of the leaders reported to Wu Mancheng.

Wu Ning's father, Wu Mancheng, stayed up all night, cheering everyone on the team with dark circles under his eyes, promising that as long as he arrived safely in Binhai Town, everyone would be able to make a windfall.

When he was in Foshan, he was not so good at talking, and the situation forced him to do it as a last resort.

This is a wilderness where there is no village in front of the village and no shop in the back, and it was originally a dangerous area where the family sending party should try to avoid staying, and it is far away from the official road, and it will not be able to return to the official road for a while and a half.

That night it was pouring rain, and the swelling water washed down the ferry and overflowed the riverbed. In the middle of the night, the sleeping people woke up from their dreams to find that the muddy river had poured into the house, and their shoes had floated. The rain was still falling, and Wu Mancheng decided to set off overnight and take a detour, and if he waited any longer, something worse might happen.

The next morning, the sleepy team suddenly heard a loud rumbling sound from behind them, coming from the direction of the ferry, like a muffled thunder in the sky.

The horses pulling the cart stood up as if they had a premonition of something, and the horses roared so hard that the coachman could not pull them.

The river burst its banks.

One of the people in that village counted as one, and no one escaped.

People didn't sleep much all night, and they were drowsy when they walked on the road, but when they heard the news, they immediately panicked, and if it weren't for Wu Mancheng's usual strict control, they might have scattered and fled on the spot.

The flood came after him quickly.

In desperation, the procession of sending off relatives was as panicked as if they were being pursued by death, and they went to which side where the terrain was high, and when they finally got rid of the danger of flooding, they also deviated far from the predetermined route.

Fortunately, in order to guard against the Xiangma bandits, Wu Mancheng ordered his cronies to hide firearms with them, which could hunt and prevent his subordinates from getting rich. The team is well prepared before departure, and will also replenish dry food and water when passing through villages and towns along the way, so they will not go hungry.

The current situation is that it is equally difficult to retreat and advance, and Wu Mancheng is not allowed to retreat, so he can only continue to move forward.

Flying horses, old tea and Xinghai are of course accompanied all the way.

"Brother Fei, are you alright?" I always think you're a little weird today...... "Old Tea said with a worried face.

Pemmas shook his head awkwardly, "I'm fine...... It was a hassle to explain, anyway I was fine. ”

"That's good. Lao Cha nodded, raised one of his front paws and pointed at the forest, "There is a small stream over there, the water is still clear at this time, can Brother Fei go and freshen up......?"

Pegasus grinned wryly, why did you get involved with and urine today?

It glanced over to the carriage, and from behind the curtain came the voice of a woman, who might have gotten up, and would probably have to freshen up and empty the toilet in a moment. Indeed, as Lao Cha said, if you delay any longer, you can only go far upstream of the creek to freshen up.

However, Pemmas is a dog after all, and he doesn't love cleanliness like cats, so it doesn't matter if he groomes or not.

"Forget it, isn't it about to go?" it asked, looking up at the sky.

Lao Cha was also a little puzzled, "It's really strange and strange that I have already set off at this time on weekdays, but there is no movement today...... It's okay for Brother Fei to freshen up, and the old man will call you when the team leaves. ”

"Okay......"

Although Pemmas didn't really want to freshen up, he didn't want to be taken for a sloppy dog by Lao Cha, so he ran into the woods, found the stream, drank some water, then plunged his head into the water to wash his face, and then dried his hair.

The water of the stream in this era was sweet and clear, and tasted completely different from the tap water in the real world, much better than the mineral water that purported to come from the mountaintop lake, and even Fina's Evian water was far inferior.

After washing his face, Fei Mars ran back to the place where he slept last night, and saw that the team was still in place, with no sign of departure. There were quite a few people pointing around a carriage and whispering to each other. Wu Mancheng's face was full of sadness, and he sighed with his hands upside down.

"What's wrong?" asked Feimas.

Lao Cha shook his head, "I don't know, it looks like someone is sick, just now Lao Yu saw the entourage enter the car, and the half ring has not come out." ”

Those who can sleep in the car at night are either female dependents, or relatives of the Wu family, in short, noble figures, ordinary coachmen and others sleep in the open air.

From Wu Mancheng's willingness to delay the trip and ask Lang Zhong to see a doctor for him, it can be guessed that the people in the car should have some status.

"It can't be that Wu Ning is sick, right?" Feimas asked worriedly. If Wu Ning, who is a bride, is sick, it will be troublesome.

"No, Miss Wu's car is not that one. Lao Cha affirmed.

"Oh, that's fine. "Feimas is relieved, as long as Wu Ning is fine, the others don't matter to him, they are all tricks in the movie, not even a supporting role.

There was a meow sound from the grass next to it, and Xinghai jumped up happily and pounced on a butterfly dancing on a wild flower, and it seemed that even if the sky fell, it would not affect its Yaxing who caught butterflies.

Feimas's stomach was hungry, and he was about to ask when the meal would start, when he saw the door curtain of the carriage lifted, and the old white-bearded man got out of the car and waved his hand to Wu Mancheng again and again. Even if you can't hear what he's saying, you can guess from the look on your face that the patient in the car may not be doing well.
