11. Embark on a trip

At the gate of Liu'an County, the crowd was crowded.

"Dad, there are too many people in this county, and many of them are carrying luggage. Tang Qing took Tang's father's hand and shrank behind Brother Tang and Tang's mother.

"you, we're probably in time for the first batch to escape the famine. Father Tang's face was a little panicked. "You and the children are waiting here, and I'll go to Brother Qin's to see if there is any carriage or donkey cart that can be rented. ”

Tang's father instructed Tang's mother, and squeezed into the crowd alone.

Tang Qing traveled to this era for the first time out of the village, so he just knew that the county seat outside Xiaoao Village was called Liu'an County, and the provincial capital was called Yangfu.

This is also the first time that Tang Qing clearly realized that he had nothing to do with the one in his previous life.

"Mom, I'm hungry, give me a piece of bread to eat. "In the end, when he was growing his body, the half-grown child couldn't help being hungry, and Brother Tang opened the cloth bag that Tang's mother had sewn for him overnight before. "I also need a little bean paste. "Tang Pei has grown so big, in fact, he hasn't been hungry a few times. At this time, I didn't realize anything, so I just opened my bag with a big grin and slowly rummaged through.

Afraid that the pancakes would not be able to be put away, Tang Qing deliberately got up early to make them, some with vegetable juice, some with shredded potatoes, and some eggplant pieces. Although it took some time to get from the village to the county seat, because the food has been placed at the bottom of the bag, there is still a strong fragrance when it is opened, as if it wants to hook out all the greedy worms in people's stomachs.

Tang Qing smelled the fragrance of the food, and also felt that he was hungry, so he couldn't help but reach into his cloth bag, rummaged through it, picked one without ingredients, dipped it in a little bean paste, handed it to Tang's mother first, and picked another one with vegetable juice, and stuffed it into Qi Yu's hand. In the end, I picked out a pancake wrapped in shredded potatoes and slowly nibbled on it one bite at a time.

Tang Qing's family went out this time and dragged a wooden cart, on which the family's luggage, clothes, bedding and so on were placed.

Originally, Tang's father was worried that Tang Qingren would not be able to walk, and Qi Yu had never suffered much since he was a child, so he let them all sit on the board car and pull the car to the county seat by himself. But Tang Qing felt that with so many things, plus two people, no matter how strong Father Tang was, he couldn't bear it. Saying that he would not sit in the car. Qi Yu was also embarrassed to let Dad Tang pull the car and sit in the car by himself, so he gave up.

Tang Qing sat on the cart and nibbled on the pancake in his hand, while looking around boredly. It may be that there are too many eyes from all around who keep looking at him, and Tang Qing also secretly pays attention to it. After carefully observing the reactions of the people around him, Tang Qing finally found that everyone's eyes were on the food in his family's hands. Tang Qing is not so big-hearted, and thinks that others are people who are good at seeing the essence through appearances: knowing that such ordinary pancakes are actually very delicious. But after a long time, I found that the eyes cast around me were just constantly looking, although it didn't seem like a kind look, but I didn't figure out any malice, Tang Qing could only bandage his own things and pile them up.

Just when Tang Qing was about to be annoyed by the eyes around him, he saw Father Tang in a long robe and an adult man taller than Father Tang walking in the direction of his house from a distance.

"Uncle Qin. Qi Yu was a little excited at the man next to Tang's father.

Only then did Tang Qing know that this man with an elegant face and a slender figure was the Qin brother that his father often talked about, and he really couldn't see that his father, a rough-looking country man, could be a good brother with such a person who didn't seem simple. I can't help but be a little surprised.

"Hello sister-in-law, this is Xiaoqing girl. Uncle Qin approached and said hello to Tang's mother, and then reached out and pulled the pigtails on Tang Qing's head.

Brother Tang on the side seemed to like this Uncle Qin very much: "Uncle Qin, I still have the wooden airplane model you gave me last time, you see." Tang Pei opened the cloth bag and took out a model airplane five or six centimeters long. At this moment, Tang Qing aimed at the other miscellaneous things in his bag: what glass beads, I don't know what to use for wooden boards

Tang Qing couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded, when did this brother of his own put these messy gadgets back into the cloth bag, obviously Tang's mother had taught him a harsh lesson before, and took out these things and put them somewhere else. My brother is really amazing. Thinking like this, Tang Qing turned his head to look at Mother Tang, and sure enough, the smile on Mother Tang's face froze a little, but it was only for a moment.

Tang's mother smiled softly at Brother Tang: "Tang Pei, your Uncle Qin already knows how much you like the gift he gave you, now take it out and look at it, put it away first, come, put it here first, your bag is too small, your mother will put it together with your clothes." ”

At this time, Brother Tang, as a "small animal", instantly became sensitive to danger, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded in agreement.

In fact, Tang's mother just wanted to scare Brother Tang a little, seeing that her son cherished these things so much, she couldn't bear to throw them away again, so she put these gadgets and Tang Pei's clothes together.

"Let's pull the car to the front. "Dad Tang greeted Uncle Qin, it seems that the relationship between the two is indeed very close, and Dad Tang makes people unambiguous.

Uncle Qin arranged for someone to pull over a carriage, although the whole body was made of wooden planks, and it looked very simple on the outside, but the group sat in it, and there were several layers of cotton inside, and it could be seen that the person who arranged it had put a lot of effort into it.

Tang Qing sat in the carriage excitedly, his hand couldn't help but flick a few times on the cotton mat in the car, it was the first time to sit on such a soft cushion after so long, Tang Qing felt that he was about to cry.

Father Tang and Uncle Qin exchanged a few more words outside, and the family sat in the carriage made of wooden planks except for Father Tang, who was driving outside the car. After driving the carriage for a distance, Tang Qing lifted the window and glanced at the place where he had left.

Not far away, Uncle Qin was still standing alone, looking at the direction of his carriage.

In the carriage, Tang Qing rarely rummaged in the car, and it was always very unusual to take a carriage for the first time. Flipping through it, she touched a raised place, like a drawer's pull ring, and pulled it hard, and sure enough, a drawer-like compartment appeared.

"Mom, look, there's a compartment here. Because the light in the car was not particularly good, Tang Qing could only vaguely see that it was not empty, so he reached into the mezzanine, dragged out a gray cloth bag, and smashed it left and right in the mezzanine a few times, and there was a small white bag that was tightly sealed.

The gray cloth bag was opened, and the bag contained a few hams, a dozen small steamed buns, and a few eggs. Probably considering that the compartment is too small, there are not many things in the bag, and only the most filling food is placed. Another bag tightly sealed, opened it and saw that it was all small pieces of sugar cubes, red and white, Tang Qing picked a red sugar cube and threw it into his mouth, there was only a sweet taste, there were no other additives, it should just be made of pure sucrose.

Tang Qing turned his head and saw that Tang's mother was just stunned for a moment, but she didn't show a very surprised or uneasy look, but calmly put away the gray bag, dragged the white bag over, divided two pieces of sugar for Brother Tang and Qi Yu, and then tied the bag again and put it in the mezzanine.

"Mom, Dad and Uncle Qin have a good relationship. Tang Qing's eyes widened.

"Well, your father and Uncle Qin knew each other before we settled in Xiaoao Village, they used to be comrades-in-arms, and their relationship is indeed very iron. It is estimated that soon after we arrived in the capital, your Uncle Qin would also have to come over, and this time, if there were still some things to be resolved, he would go on the road with us. Tang's mother pulled Tang Qing into her arms.

After staying in the simple carriage for a long time, Tang Qing always felt a little unable to sit still.

In the carriage, Tang's mother took a needle and thread to change Tang Qing's clothes, Tang Qing has grown a little bit in half a year, and such a big child has also seen the wind. Brother Tang was fiddling with his gadgets. The most exaggerated is Qi Yu, I don't know where to find the villain's book with relish. In order to take care of everyone's eyes, the window was opened in the carriage, saying that it was a driving window, but in fact, a small half of the wooden board was removed.

Everyone was busy with their own affairs, and Tang Qing had nothing to do, so he told Tang's mother to go out to bask in the sun. Carefully climbing out of the wooden carriage, Tang Qing lay down beside Tang's father who was driving outside.

Coming out of Liu'an County, the Tang family has been driving for most of the day, and it is estimated that there will be a short distance to the only way to the provincial capital: Muhe Avenue.

"Dad, are we going all the way down to the provincial capital?" Tang Qing stood up, looked at the too depressed scene on both sides of the road, and asked with some hesitation with the pedestrians staggering on the road.

"That's not it, we have to go to Shiyuan County, which is the closest to Muhe Avenue, to settle down, silly girl, now we have to get a pass first where we go, this time thanks to your Uncle Tang, he asked someone to take care of us, so ah, we have to go to Shiyuan County to find someone to help you get a pass." Daddy Tang smiled heartily.

Tang Qing saw that Father Tang had done everything right, so he was no longer curious, and sat down next to Father Tang obediently. Father Tang divided the reins into his right hand, stretched out his left hand to hold Tang Qing in his arms, and then held the rope with both hands: "Xiaoqing, if you want to stand up for a while, you have to talk to Dad first, Dad will pick you up and see, you can't run around, the speed of the horse is uncertain." ”

The closer the carriage traveled, the more pedestrians on the road, most of them dragging luggage or carts, and a large family walked along the road.

Tang Qing saw a group of people on the side of the road from a distance, as if there was an argument, and there seemed to be a familiar figure inside. Tang Qing turned to Tang's father and said, "Dad, I want to stand up." ”

When Father Tang picked up Tang Qing again with one hand, there happened to be a tall figure in the circle of people on the side of the road blocking the figure he wanted to identify, and it wasn't until the carriage was getting farther and farther away from that circle of people that Tang Qing vaguely saw: "Isn't that Wu Xinlian?"
