The ninth day of the crossing

The weather was mostly sunny for the next ten days, and the sun had been working diligently without a trace of laziness. Qingling and their group have been walking for more than ten days, and everyone is gradually getting used to it.

Now, although everyone is tired after a day of walking, they also have the strength to talk a few words when they rest at night. Everyone exchanged details, and the small population formed a group, and sometimes helped each other, or bought some food and started the fire, as long as there was no delay in the time to go on the road, the escort officer would turn a blind eye.

After all, they make money when they buy things. Otherwise, it is not enough to rely on the limited steamed buns and gruel provided by the government. Fortunately, most of these people have a little money on them.

Originally, the Su family was together, with a large population, so there was no need to be grouped by others, but in the past few days, the Su family's rooms have changed a little, and the Yang family and Su Jinghua's family have slowly distanced themselves from them, but they have gotten together with the Li family, who were exiled to Wusu together.

The Su family's big house, the Qi family, and they are also slowly estranged from Qingling, although they are not as obvious as the Yang family, and they directly partner with others, but they also intentionally or unintentionally do not eat together. In the past, they all ate together in several rooms, but they just paid for it when they bought things, but now only the second room Su Jingchen and Lin took their children to eat with them.

Qingling doesn't care, everyone has their own choice. And there is no doubt about the practice of the big house, their brothers are all married and have children, and no one should rely on anyone. Although Su Jingyun didn't say anything, he seemed to be a little sad, and he didn't like to talk anymore these days.

Su Mingzhu may have cried silently at night, but in the morning, Qingling, who had cultivated for so many days, still keenly observed that her eyes were a little red and swollen, although she always lowered her head to hide it.

Su Jingchen and Lin didn't know if they didn't notice it or didn't care, and the two of them didn't say anything. It's just that I really don't know what to say about these two people, two people have money in their hands, I don't know how much, and they are still smart and know that they don't need silver tickets, but they are used to spending money lavishly, and they are scattered in their hands, and every time they encounter an opportunity to buy something, they buy food. There were a few times when I bought too much meat, and the weather was hot, and I couldn't let go of the last spoilage. I want to buy it next time, Qingling is very helpless, and a little funny, I have to remind me every time not to buy more. These two don't look like they're going to get by.

The escort urged again, asking everyone to move quickly and hurry to the post station early, so everyone sat down at noon and ate a few steamed buns, and it was too late to boil hot water.

Qingling's water bladder was also empty, and it was fed to Su Jingyun and the little fat man along the way. Su Mingzhu also has a water bladder, but she, Su Yunyuan, and Su Yunxi share one with the three of them, and they are not enough to drink. Now there is no water either. In the second room, they also have no water, and they are also gnawing dry steamed buns.

Qingling frowned, it was a little difficult to do, you can eat steamed buns dry without water, but the little fat man is still eating steamed buns with soft bubbles, and occasionally gives him a piece of candy, and his face has become a little sallow after eating the little buns for the past few days, and he has slowly lost weight, and the small nest in his hand has slowly begun to disappear.

Qingling is also getting more and more anxious, she is doubling her cultivation every day, and she has already touched the barrier of the third layer of qi training, and she is almost reaching the third layer. When she reached the third level of Qi training, she could use some small spells. Drinking water is just a solution, a water polo technique is good.

Seeing Qingling frowning, Su Jingyun was a little annoyed, he also knew that the little fat man wanted water to eat steamed buns, "I'll go to the eldest brother and they will borrow some water." ”

After saying that, he went to the big house. After a while, he turned back, handed a water bladder to Qingling, Qingling immediately took it, took a pottery bowl and poured it out, and it was only half a bowl, looking at this small half bowl Su Jingyun frowned again.

Qingling looked at half a bowl of water and was still a little happy, and hurriedly fed the little buns, the little fat man was also a little hungry, and hurriedly opened his mouth to eat, and after eating that there was no longer behind him, he was still waiting for the feeding, and after waiting for a while, he saw that Qingling was not feeding, and he was a little crying, and he held his mouth.

Qingling hurriedly stuffed a candy in his mouth, and he obediently didn't cry until he squinted and smiled happily. Qingling didn't have any expression on her face, but she couldn't help but feel more sad in her heart. I don't know if it's because of this body, she really likes the little fat man, and she knows what it's like to be a mother for the first time. I can't help but feel annoyed that I am such an adult, and I can't raise a little fat man after going through two lifetimes.

Su Jingyun didn't feel good about returning the water bladder. Don't you know that just after Su Jingyun borrowed water and left, Su Jinglan and the Qi family also quarreled, originally Su Jingyun came to borrow water, and the Qi family was unhappy and not good not to borrow. There was only half a bag of water left in the water bladder, and after saying a few more specious words, he asked Su Yunyan to drink some before taking it away from Su Jingyun.

Su Jinglan really didn't expect that the Qi family would borrow it, and he would let Su Yunyan drink a few sips before he was willing to borrow it, isn't this humiliating people? As soon as Su Jingyun left, he quarreled with the Qi family.

"What do you mean by this, do you need Jingyun to borrow some water?"

"What's wrong with me, what's wrong with me, didn't I borrow it?

"You have to borrow it, why do you want to let Yunyan drink it, there is not much water in it, obviously"

"Do they need water, and the smoke can't drink it? How much water has this girl drunk along the way, won't you, a father, feel distressed?

"I didn't say Yunyan .... It's not that I don't feel sorry for Yunyan, it's just that Yunyao's child is so old.... Hey" Seeing Qi's angry appearance, Su Minglan couldn't say any more.

The Qi family was also not happy, this little water was not enough to drink, they had already drunk one bag of water in the morning, and now Su Jingyun took the last bag, her son and husband drank some, but she didn't drink at all, what if you let your daughter drink a little, his son Su Jingyun wants to drink water, and his daughter doesn't need to drink water?

Su Yunyu and Su Yunyan next to him hurriedly persuaded him, Su Yunyu didn't feel anything, just ordered water, no need to be angry.

Su Yunyan next to him also persuaded his parents, but he was a little unhappy in his heart, the uncle was really, he always dragged his parents, and now he even had to borrow water, obviously there was not much water, so he didn't drink a few sips, and his parents quarreled.

If Su Jingyun knew the thoughts of this eldest niece, he could only hehe in his heart, he had been wronged, and he would have borrowed such a once.

After hitting the road again, everyone deliberately forgot about this incident, but the gap still exists, and it may widen over time.

Along the way, accompanied by the urging of the escorts, a group of people walked silently with their heads down, this is about to go to the next province, and before they reach a province, these escorts will change a group of people and continue to escort them on the road. That's why these escort officers are always urging them to hurry up today.

They also want to go faster, and when they get to the post station, they can buy some good things to eat, freshen up, and sleep well, and don't have to sleep in the wilderness.

At the beginning of the moonlight, a few mischievous stars appeared in the sky, and a group of them finally entered the city before the city gate was closed, and arrived at the post station. Everyone spent the night comfortably.

Because I have to go to the yamen to stamp, sign in, and go through some handover procedures. They were going to stay at the inn for a day, and the group was even happier when they heard the news. There are also people in the inn who come to sell things, some people happily pick things, and some people go back to the house to sleep.

Qingling also picked up and bought some, especially two water bladders, some fruits and candies for a few children, and bought quick braised pork to improve their lives, so I didn't buy them.

didn't chat with anyone, went back to the house to find Su Mingzhu and they went, everyone lived in a chase shop, more than ten people lived in one room, men and women were separated, Su Jingyun took Su Yunyuan, Qingling hugged the little fat man, and took Su Mingzhu and Su Yunxi.

Qingling gave things to Su Mingzhu and they looked at them and went to the kitchen of the post station, the cook in the kitchen was a middle-aged woman, Qingling had observed her when she was eating in the morning, she didn't say much, she looked serious, but she felt good for Qingling, Qingling had always believed in her own intuition, so she secretly came over and asked her to help buy some eggs.

Qingling didn't beat around the bush, and directly expressed her intentions, wanting to buy some eggs and vegetable seeds, these things were not sold, and the woman didn't ask anything, just said that she wanted double the price, Qingling also happily agreed, and when Qingling agreed, she asked her to come and get it at night.

He took a nap and took a bath for Xiao Baozi and two small ones, and when he bathed Xiao Baozi, he was very excited, especially when Qingling washed his squeaky nest, he giggled and laughed non-stop, and said "itch, itch" in a milky voice.

In the evening, Qingling handed over the little fat man to Su Mingzhu to watch, and under the pretext of going directly to the convenience, she secretly went to the kitchen to get something, a total of 100 eggs, plus several bags of vegetable seeds, together with baskets, a total of 579 yuan, Qingling was very happy, and directly gave 600 Wen, and asked her to help cook fifty of them.

While waiting for the eggs to be boiled, Qingling chatted with the woman for a few words, and knew that her husband's surname was Cheng, so she called her sister-in-law Cheng. The husband is a small official in the inn. After the eggs were boiled, Cheng's sister-in-law hesitated to speak, and finally told Qingling that she wanted them to be careful, this time it was not a good thing for the loser to escort them.

Qingling Xie came to Sister-in-law Cheng, came out of the kitchen, and came back to the room worriedly, and the others didn't say anything when they saw her coming back with a basket, and Qi and Yang took a few more looks.

Qingling didn't want to hide it from anyone, and when she asked the process, her sister-in-law said that it was okay. He told him about buying eggs, and divided the eggs and gave them to Qi's and Lin's, Yang's, and one for each person according to the number of people.

also gave Su Mingzhu and Su Mingxi one each, let them watch the little buns while eating, Qingling went to Su Jingyun and them, called Su Yunyuan and Su Jingyun outside the door and asked them to come out, and also gave them one for each person, and asked them to share it with Brother Su, fortunately, they all slept in one room, so it was not troublesome.

After Qingling returned to the room, she saw Su Mingzhu feeding the little bun with egg yolk, the little bun was so sweet to eat, the corners of her mouth were covered with a ball of egg yolk, Qingling looked at him like that and knew that he liked to eat, so she took it and continued to feed him, and asked Su Mingzhu to take one from the basket to eat, Su Mingzhu said embarrassedly, "No need, I have eaten most of it, the fourth sister-in-law will keep you to eat." ”

Qingling knew that she was embarrassed, so she directly took one and stuffed it in her hand, and she ate it. The eggs are authentic native eggs, small but fragrant.

Qi and Lin came over and asked about the eggs they bought there, and said they wanted to buy some too. Lin also complained a few words, saying that Qingling didn't call her together. Others also listened with their ears pricked up. Qingling paused for a moment, but she knew that Lin had no other meaning when he spoke. told them, and they also hurried to find Sister-in-law Cheng and decided to take it tomorrow morning.

It's just that Qingling also found herself alone and used to it. This time, she actually gave her a reminder. Sometimes you still have to pay attention to how you behave in the world.

Qingling fed the little bun and ate two eggs, then wiped his mouth and coaxed him to sleep, and when everyone slept, Qingling began to intensify her cultivation again, and after listening to Cheng's sister-in-law today, Qingling had a bad feeling. I hope that I think too much, and it is not good to eat you along the way, and it is not a big deal to be tired.
