Leaving from Qingshan Town, everyone almost rushed for more than two hours.

It wasn't until it got dark, and they found a nice clearing, that the team stopped.

"Okay, everyone, hurry up, eat and rest, and continue to hurry tomorrow morning," after speaking, Zhao Furui continued to convene a meeting with the others to discuss their direction in the future.

In the area they walked, there were many mountain roads, and there were countless large roads and small roads.

Of course, the best of them should also belong to the official road, that is, the road built by the government, which is spacious and safe.

But they had already come out to flee, although the official road was good, but it was easy to encounter all kinds of troubles, especially recently, the neighboring counties had to go to Yangcheng County to send grain, and they took the official road, if they unfortunately met, it would also be a problem.

For now, the only thing they can do is the path around them.

Compared with the official road, the biggest disadvantage of the trail is that it is rugged and narrow, and there are many winding mountain roads.

They are rushing the convoy and there is a high probability that they will get stuck in the middle of the road.

At present, their discussion is to discuss the exact way forward.

Putting out the previous simple map, Zhao Furui pointed out the routes to leave Qingshan Town and go to Ping'an City in front of him one by one.

At the same time, it also explains the advantages and disadvantages of these roads.

Everyone gathered around and listened to Zhao Furui's words, but they were silent for a long time.

"Everyone, what do you think, talk about it and refer to us," Zhao Furui looked around and asked softly.

"This, patriarch, if it doesn't work, let's take the official road," it was an old man of the Zhao clan who spoke, "I, I think that from the current official road to Ping'an City, there will be no trouble," After all, even if Ping'an City has to send food, there is a high probability that they will take another shortcut.

"No, although it is close over there, there are mountain bandits from time to time, if the other party temporarily changes the road, wouldn't we have to bump into it," Zhao Fuxiang shook his head, denying the old man's idea of taking the official road.

"Then, just take the path?" Zhao Fusheng scratched his head and pointed to one of the paths.

"No, big brother," Zhao Fujin shook his head directly, "This path is narrow, and our team can't pass it at all." ”

………

The people put forward all kinds of suggestions, but they were rejected for one reason or another, and in the end, there was nothing to say.

ay

Zhao Furui sighed and looked at everyone again, "Do you have any other ideas?" ”

When everyone heard the words, they all looked at me, and I looked at you, and no one spoke.

In the end, it was Zou Youqian who opened his mouth, "If not, let's go together,"

"Huh?" Zhao Furui raised his head and opened his eyes to see Zou Youqian, "Helu? "What do you mean?

The other people around were also attracted by Zou Youqian's words.

Zou Youqian opened his mouth to explain, "It's this short section, we take the official road," he said, referring to the third of the road from the current to Ping'an City, "and then we will go on the small road and walk for a day,"

"Finally, go around this place called Xialou Mountain and come back," pointing to the corner of the drawing, "Continue to walk for about a day and a half, and when we arrive at Shuiyun Village, we are out of the boundary of Ping'an City, and there are people living here, we can also repair it,"

"If you go on the road again, you can bypass the previous paragraph, and you can take the official road and go straight to Qingzhou."

After Zou Youqian finished speaking, he put away his sleeves and hid his merit and fame.

After listening to this, everyone looked at each other and admired each other at the same time.

Especially Zhao Furui, he raised his hand and followed the comparison, his eyes suddenly lit up, but he didn't expect that it could really work.

"Cheng, just follow the route of Lizheng," this route is the safest way for them.

When they had finished talking about the route, they discussed other things, and soon the people came together and dispersed.

…………

Around the resting place, Li took out the things he wanted to use for dinner, and the iron pot was set up to add water, and he was thinking about boiling water to cook quickly.

At this time, everyone in the resting place received a notice from Zhao Shanzhou and others, saying that they might have to walk the mountain road in the next two days, the mountain road is remote, the route is rugged, and there is likely to be no water source around.

Therefore, everyone can only take advantage of the fact that there is still a river around them right now, and fetch more river water for future access.

Helplessly, Li didn't cook, but hurriedly greeted him, took out all the wooden barrels and jars that could be used to hold water in the car, and asked the men in the family to go to the river to fetch water first.

The women, on the other hand, think more, thinking that there will be no water available in a few days, and everyone wants to take the opportunity to take a refreshing bath and clean up after seeing them first, otherwise they will definitely not be able to do it in the next few days.

These words also reminded the Li family, and the Li family thought of the troubles of other women, and followed them to discuss with the Guo family.

Guo also wanted to take a bath, so he naturally agreed, so he joined forces with Zou's rich mother-in-law Cheng, and the two suggested together, and finally built a few pots directly by the river to facilitate the women and children in the team to wash and wipe.

With the hot water, the women in the team were particularly active, all holding wooden buckets and carrying a change of clothes to the river.

The same is true of the Li family, she held the wooden barrel, which contained plant ashes, as well as the fragrant pancreas, shampoo, and laundry detergent that Zhao Shanyu brought back from the south, and took the family to the river.

There were a lot of people by the river, and Li had no choice but to go downstream again.

It was almost over, Li bent down and lowered his head, touched the temperature of the water, and felt a little pulled.

Hurriedly instructed Liu and others to prop up the iron pot they had brought over, light a fire and add firewood, and forget to pour pots of river water.

When the water boils, he beckons others to take whatever he wants.

Cold water mixed with hot water, the temperature was just right, Li Shi brought the wooden bucket containing water to Zhao Yu, quickly stripped the clothes on Zhao Yu's body, and rubbed it up and down roughly.

By the way, he also wiped Zhao Yu's body with a fragrant pancreas that he was reluctant to use.

Of course, Zhao Yu was a little shy, but they were far away, it was dark, and there were no men around, so they gradually relaxed.

Li Shi urged her, "Hurry up, wash your hair after washing in a while, wash it twice more today, and wait for the day after tomorrow to hurry, but it won't be done." ”

After speaking, Li said the same thing to Liu and the others, "You too, take advantage of the conditions right now, also hurry up to wash your face, wipe your body, double benefit, I brought a straw mat over, cover it for a while, no one can see it." ”

With this, Liu and the others also breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, there is no cover, children can still do it, and they adults can't wipe their face.

Especially Zhou Jin, she is an unmarried woman, although the Zhao family has passed the Ming Road, they have not invited guests in the end, so naturally they have not had the same room, which is even more taboo than the Liu family and others.

Simply Lee's thoughtfulness, these questions don't have to worry.

It is only a few days after March, and the temperature difference between morning and evening is still very large.

Fortunately, there is hot water, and it is comfortable to wipe your body.

Zhao Yu sat in the wooden barrel, seriously hit the fragrant pancreas on his body, and did not miss his face and feet, anyway, he washed it twice, and felt that his whole body was refreshed, so he dried his body and put on the clean clothes that he had prepared a long time ago.

Of course, this is not the end, Li washed Zhao Yu's head twice.

After putting the shampoo twice, the scalp was almost rubbed off a layer before Zhao Yu was finished.

After getting the kids, the adults began to pack themselves.

The pancreas and shampoo brought were all cleaned, and everyone took a comfortable bath.

Leaving the iron pot to the men in the family, Li led them back and continued to cook dinner.

After dinner, everyone planned to rest.

Because of the bath, the whole team rested later than usual.

Li took the opportunity to quickly take down all the straw mats on the car and spread them in the wooden planks that had been set up temporarily, and then she took the eiderdown futon at home and laid it out, and took the children of the family to lie in it.

Don't look at the suggestion of building a wooden plank, it can resist the wind in the end, and with a quilt on the body, the Li family sleeps relatively well.

Like Zhao Jinyan and Cheng, they slept directly in the carriage cut out of the mule cart, although it was cramped and crowded, it was safer than the wooden planks that were erected.

However, because there is not enough space, the family can only sleep on the straw mat outside under the futon.

Fortunately, the Li family gave out the remaining thick eiderdown quilts, so that they would not freeze.

At night, Zhao Furui took the opportunity to arrange tonight's night watchman.

The night watchmen are assigned according to the specific number of youth in the ranks.

Twenty people a day, divided into two teams, slept on the front and rear sides of the convoy.

Then the ten people were divided into two groups in different places before and after.

Five of them are responsible for the first half of the night and five for the second half of the night, and at the same time, they have to prevent the bonfire lit in the resting place from going out and keep it burning.

Such vigils are based on the number of men in the pair.

After all, in the wilderness, Zhao Furui can't be careless, which leads to some people who are more affected by men, in order to avoid unstable people's hearts, Zhao Furui will also give these night watchmen additional silver subsidies from the assets of the clan.

Thunderbolt Crackling———

Listening to the sound of the campfire burning, the rest place was filled with cries.

As the clouds on the horizon brightened, white smoke rose from the extinguished bonfires, and sporadic movements came from the resting ground, a new day began again.
