Chapter 553: The Long Journey
"Tie Yu, tell me to go down, leave a small team of people to rest in place, survey the terrain by the way, and the rest of the people bring their belongings and tents and follow me to the third mining area." Chu Yuchen said to Tie Yu while wiping his sword.
"Yes, Tie Yu will give the order," Tie Yu replied in a sonorous voice. Then he turned around and exited Chu Yuchen's tent.
Seeing that Tie Yu came out of the tent, Chu Yuchen was almost tidy up, he took a little snack from the soldier just now and went to Song Yunshu's side.
Song Yunshu lived in the sub-tent, and as soon as she walked to the door, she could hear the sound of her and Xiaobao's mother and son playing. Xiaobao and Song Yunshu have always had a good relationship.
"Ahem, ahem!" The moment he opened the tent with one hand, Chu Yuchen deliberately coughed a few times. "I'll send some snacks, the soldiers just sent them, you and Xiaobao can eat some!"
"Thank you, Daddy!" Xiaobao and Song Yunshu had a good time, and they were full of energy when they talked.
Chu Yuchen casually put the dim sum on the table, smiled slightly, and did not speak. Before leaving, he instructed Song Yunshu: "You clean up, we will set off in a while, this time we may have to observe there for a while, I don't know how it will be."
"Okay, I know" Song Yunshu put Xiaobao down from his arms and replied.
Not long after, Chu Yuchen set off with his men and horses to the third mining area.
Tie Yu's light work was good, and he still walked in front of the large army, helping to survey the terrain and leading the large army to open the way in front.
Song Yunshu and Xiaobao sat in the carriage, Chu Yuchen rode a horse to take care of it, and occasionally Xiaobao would poke his head out to look at Chu Yuchen.
"Daddy, Xiaobao also wants to ride a horse." Xiaobao lay on the car window and looked at Chu Yuchen with a pitiful look.
"No! It's too dangerous, you can't ride" Chu Yuchen said without looking back while riding his horse.
"Okay then, I'll be with my mother, huh!" Xiaobao pursed his lips and snorted, and went back to the carriage.
"Mother, mother, I want to ride a horse, Xiaobao wants to ride a horse" I couldn't tell my father, Xiaobao went back to the car and played with Song Yunshu.
"Xiaobao is obedient, you see that the jungle is dense here, especially in front, there are many strange insects outside the carriage, as well as those wild plants, all of which are poisonous" Song Yunshu said and gestured a few times with his hand to comfort Xiaobao.
Xiaobao settled down at this time.
I don't know if it was because the carriage shook or because Song Yunshu's arms were too warm, Xiaobao fell asleep in Song Yunshu's arms after a while.
Without Xiaobao pestering Song Yunshu to speak, Song Yunshu would probe to check the terrain from time to time, and occasionally cast a gaze at Chu Yuchen.
Seeing that it was almost noon, but he still did not reach his destination, the sun was getting bigger and bigger, and he walked all morning.
Cicadas chirped from the jungle on the side of the road.
"Stop at the back! Rest in place! I don't know how long I walked, but there was the sound of iron rain in front of me
After asking, the carriage also stopped, and without the shaking of the carriage, Xiaobao also woke up.
Chu Yuchen dismounted when he heard the sound in the carriage, opened the curtain of the carriage, first reached out to take Xiaobao, carried him out of the carriage, and then helped Song Yunshu out of the carriage.
"You and Xiaobao will rest here for a while, and I'll go to the front to see the situation." Chu Yuchen turned around and rode on his horse again, looked at Song Yunshu and said.
"Good,...... Then you should be careful" Song Yunshu took Xiaobao's hand, touched Xiaobao's head, and said softly.
"Mother, let's play hide and seek!" As soon as Xiaobao saw Chu Yuchen leaving, he broke free of Song Yunshu's hand and ran into the jungle on the side of the road, "Little treasure is ready, mother, come and find me!" ”
"Don't go there, danger!" didn't give Song Yunshu a chance to react at all, and Song Yunshu was also anxious now.
"Xiaobao, come out quickly," Song Yunshu shouted as he walked towards the forest. But Xiaobao didn't listen. "My mother found me before I came out."
"Ahh Xiaobao called not far away, and Song Yunshu hurriedly ran over, "What's wrong Xiaobao!" Mother is coming."
Song Yunshu hugged Xiaobao in his arms, Xiaobao pointed to his arm, "Something bit me just now, itchy!" ”
Song Yunshu looked at it, and the position of Xiaobao's arm turned a big red. After a while, it swollen up a big bag, it should have been bitten by mosquitoes, but in modern times, mosquito bites are not so bad! "It's okay, it's okay, it'll be fine in a while, my mother will rub it for you."
Holding Xiaobao back to the carriage, Song Yunshu called the accompanying military doctor, and the military doctor said that it was bitten by a poisonous mosquito, and this kind of mosquito can only be found in the wild, but there will be an antidote in generally poisonous places.
So Song Yunshu sent a few soldiers to follow the military doctor to find herbs to detoxify mosquitoes.
When Chu Yuchen came back, the military doctor had almost found the herbs, rubbed them with his hands, and put them on Xiaobao.
"What's wrong?" Chu Yuchen asked inquiringly,
"It's okay, it's just that he was bitten by a mosquito, and the military doctor just gave him some herbs." Song Yunshu replied.
"It's okay, I just went to the front to check the situation, and Tie Yu said that it is estimated that it will not be there until the afternoon. You pay attention to rest, and when it comes I call you. ”
"Okay, got it."
After Xiaobao applied the herbs, the redness and swelling on his arm improved slightly.
These ancient mosquitoes were more powerful than modern ones, and Song Yunshu couldn't help frowning. How can there be such a powerful mosquito in modern times?
I don't know how long it took for the carriage to creak and the sun to set over the top of the hill before the team finally reached its destination.
"Huh~~~" The coachman screamed, and the carriage stopped.
Xiaobao slept soundly in Song Yunshu's arms, also frowning, Song Yunshu looked at his arm, the red and swollen place was already blue.
Chu Yuchen opened the curtain and reached out to hug Xiaobao. He freed up another hand to lead Song Yunshu out of the carriage.
If this is placed in modern times, it will properly attract girls to like it, and Chu Yuchen is also very good-looking. Thinking of this, Song Yunshu looked at Chu Yuchen's face and was stunned.
"My face... Something? Chu Yuchen let go of Song Yunshu's hand, touched his face and chin, and looked questioning.
"No, no, no". Song Yunshu actually laughed out loud. Chu Yuchen saw her smile, and his heart was much more comfortable, so he didn't ask again.
"Let's find a place to set up camp first, settle Xiaobao down, and then let's take a look at the situation in this mining area!" Song Yunshu walked in front of Chu Yuchen and said. "Xiaobao, give me a hug for a while!"
"Okay" Chu Yuchen put down his sword and carefully put Xiaobao into Song Yunshu's arms.
After a busy day, everyone was sweating like rain, and the clouds on the horizon covered the sun, bringing them a moment of coolness, and even the horses barked comfortably in the breeze.
When she was tired of walking, Song Yunshu sat on the ground with Xiaobao in her arms, and she didn't sit on the ground, she found a smooth big stone.
Xiaobao was already injured, Song Yunshu didn't want him to be hurt again, who knows what would happen in this wilderness?
