Chapter 161: It's too dangerous to take the waterway
"Brother Hongsheng, we've been on the road for three days. I suddenly feel so tired......"
Although for the past three days, Wu Guifang has been sitting on the back of a donkey. I haven't walked much down.
However, Wu Guifang still felt tired.
Not only was she physically tired, she also felt her own heart tired.
The sun outside is so big. It's so hot again. During the day, all of them hurried to the road.
At night, when they sleep, they have to tense their nerves and take turns keeping vigil.
After three days and three nights, Wu Guifang felt that she was not comfortable anywhere.
She now especially misses the air conditioner that used to be commonplace.
She also misses her lovely Simmons, as well as the fluffy quilt and fragrant soap.
Wu Guifang is now desperate to wash her hair, take a hot bath, and then lie on the soft bed and sleep beautifully.
If possible, she also wants to ask someone else to give her a massage. Let the muscles of her whole body get the most perfect relaxation.
In the past few days, the quality of Wu Guifang's sleep at night is really poor.
It's too much of a toss-up.
This was even more impressive than her previous experience of camping outside.
"Brother Hongsheng, if we have the opportunity, we still have to settle down as soon as possible."
"It's not that I'm greedy for enjoyment, I can't endure hardship. It's that I think there are too many pregnant women in our family now. If they are accidentally tossed and born prematurely. Their men don't blame you on the surface. But in fact, in their hearts, there will definitely be resentment......"
Hearing her say this, Wu Hongsheng frowned while eating the twist flowers quickly.
"Daughter-in-law, I know your thoughts and concerns. Don't worry, let's walk for another ten days, and after climbing the seven mountains, we'll be around Harada to see if we can take a rest......"
Suddenly hearing the name Harada, Wu Guifang became interested at that time.
"Brother Hongsheng, where is Harada?"
"Isn't it south of our county, is it?"
Wu Hongsheng listened, and he patiently explained. "Harada County, in fact, is on a mountain."
"It's surrounded by mountains, and in the middle of it is a small plain. It's a typical mountain town. The area is not large, but the population is large. When I went there five years ago, there were more than 30,000 people there. ”
When Wu Guifang heard that there were 30,000 people in Harada County, her eyes widened at that time.
"Listening to what you say, this county is really big......
"It's just that the drought is so bad now. I don't know where it is, is the water shortage serious? ”
Speaking of this, Wu Guifang sighed directly, "Brother Hongsheng, let me tell you the truth, I really don't want to go up the mountain now." ”
"You see, let's go down the water,...... Can we get out of this place quickly? ”
"I'm really worried that in just a few days, that big volcano will erupt......"
The size of the lake formed by that crater is really huge.
Wu Guifang could not imagine how serious the impact of the eruption of this volcano would be.
It would be nice if she had a drone in her hands now.
If she has a drone, she can manipulate him to the sky to check what the terrain of this area is like......
That way, she could quickly plan the shortest route they were going to take.
"Brother Hongsheng,...... Anyway, we have a boat in our hands now. If we take the time to rebuild the big ship, then we will go down the river when the time comes,...... Will it drift south? ”
"That way, we don't have to use our own two legs to travel hard......"
Seeing Wu Guifang's impatient appearance, Wu Hongsheng gently patted her head.
"Daughter-in-law, don't be impatient."
"That's what I had planned. It's just that now, we have to climb over that mountain, and we have to cross two rivers before we can see that big river. ”
"As soon as we get to the side of the big river, we can take a boat all the way south. However, there are also dangers associated with boating on the river. The shallows and undercurrents on the river make it impossible to guard against. Once we touch the reef, the people on our ship will become very dangerous......"
As an authentic northerner, no matter how much they know about water, they can't compare to the southerners who deal with water all year round.
Especially those sailors.
In order to earn more money, some of them often try their best to stop passing ships.
Let them pay a lot of money to cross the river.
As for this money, they will ask for it in various names.
For example, to buy tribute to the Dragon King. I want to pay the money for the water ghosts in the river......
They have to feed their families.
In short, they ask for money in the name of too much. Sometimes they can't even figure it out themselves.
So, once they sail to the river, they have to deal with difficult people.
This is the so-called Jianghu.
If they didn't pay, the sailors, especially the water-based, would do everything they could to quietly smash a few big holes under their cabins.
In this way, the ship that he took with his children and worked so hard to build will sink quickly.
After sinking, they will be rescued by the arrangement of the sailors.
After being rescued, they were on someone else's territory, and they were swordsmen, and I was fish.
Whatever they do, slaughter it.
As soon as he thought of this, Wu Hongsheng suddenly said to Wu Guifang with a serious face, "Daughter-in-law, I think we should be safer now, or we should rely on our own feet to hurry." ”
"It's really not easy or easy to go down the river. I myself can't guarantee what will happen in the future. But if we're in Harada Prefecture, we'll do a little bit of trimming. I'm trying to figure out how to buy a few donkeys there, so that when we get there, it will be much faster. ”
The only old donkey in the family, he is too old.
And the pregnant women in the family are now too fat.
As soon as they sat up, the old donkey was panting and screaming.
This made him really distressed.
The old donkey has been in his house for more than ten years. Now that they were so old, she gave them a little mule.
Over the years, the old donkey has done all the dirty work, and he has been loyal enough.
If he didn't treat it well, his conscience would be troubled.
Therefore, after thinking about these many times, Wu Hongsheng felt that he still had to buy so many donkeys for his family.
There are six pregnant women in the family.
Two pregnant women sit on the same donkey.
6 pregnant women, with three donkeys, is more than enough.
Thinking of this, Wu Hongsheng asked, "Daughter-in-law, do you still have dozens of catties of black bear meat there?" ”
