Chapter 5, The Road

They arranged four people to take turns to keep vigil, two or two in a shift, Jiang Yuanyuan went to sleep after roasting the fire for a while, it was a little hot during the day, but it was a little cold at night, Jiang Yuanyuan shrank in the quilt, only showed a pair of eyes, blinking, a little sleepy, but she didn't want to sleep yet.

pinched her wrist and yawned sleepily, thinking that Sheng Rong had told herself to take herself to see the mountains and seas, but now, she went to see the mountains by herself.

chuckled and fell asleep.

When she woke up, it was still early, Jiang Yuanyuan stretched her waist and washed up in the tent before going out, she consciously folded her quilt and hugged it out, cleaned everything in the tent, and left an empty tent.

Lao Yang and their people had already woken up and were cooking the second pot of porridge, Jiang Yuanyuan asked for a bowl and broke a little steamed bun to eat.

Eat well and continue on your way.

After walking like this for three or four days, they began to walk into the mountain, after entering the mountain, their food has made a qualitative leap, the mountain here is still rich, every time on the way, the people of the dart board will go to hunt some game, rabbits and pheasants, and then mix with their own spices and roast and eat, very delicious.

Entering the mountain, the people of the dart game are obviously more vigilant, the danger in the mountain is very high, they are always vigilant against the danger that will appear at any time, their team will keep detouring according to Lao Yang's suggestion, a broken branch, some footprints, a smell, a stream, are all information that Lao Yang will collect.

At first, it was just some hills, slowly walking, they seemed to enter the deep mountains, Jiang Yuanyuan began to find that before entering this mountain, all she saw was the mountain that was inserted into the sky and did not see the top of the mountain, but after entering, she could only see the road in front of her.

The temperature in the mountain is lower than outside, and the most obvious feeling after entering the mountain is that the temperature is dropping a little bit, and people are shivering when it is cold, but fortunately, Lao Yang told Jiang Yuanyuan about the problems to pay attention to before setting off, so Jiang Yuanyuan brought enough clothes.

There are a lot of gadgets in the mountains, especially after a heavy rain, Xiao Yang will always take Jiang Yuanyuan to dig up some strange things, small white things buried in a rotten leaf, black fungus, white mushrooms growing on dead trees.

Fresh sprouts of young wild vegetables from the ground, they dug up a large pile.

Jiang Yuanyuan nervously watched Xiao Yang take down the honey, he easily put the beehive in the prepared bag, tightened the pocket, and carefully stepped back.

They just took one of the beehives, the worker bees were still flying aside, and they didn't find anything wrong, Xiao Yang waved at Jiang Yuanyuan, Jiang Yuanyuan hurriedly and quietly stepped back, looking at where it was getting farther and farther away, Jiang Yuanyuan turned around and ran.

Xiao Yang caught up, shook the bag in his hand excitedly, and shouted: "Great, such a big piece of honey, we can eat it for a long time." ”

"Can honey be eaten directly?" Jiang Yuanyuan asked curiously, when they passed by here, Lao Yang said that there was a big beehive nearby, and they happened to be next to it to correct, Xiao Yang pulled Jiang Yuanyuan to find it, such a large beehive, Jiang Yuanyuan was the first time to see it, and the wind exercise they had seen before was only as big as a hand.

"Honey roast is the best to eat." Xiao Yang licked his lips, "Later, I'll ask the third senior brother to fight some and come back, I'll bake it for you, it's delicious." ”

Jiang Yuanyuan was also aroused, and couldn't help licking the corners of her mouth.

Back to the place where they rested, Xiao Yang ran to show off his achievements, Jiang Yuanyuan went to see Steward Liu, after all, Steward Liu is in his forties, and he is tired enough to climb the mountain these days, and he has not recovered at this time, panting and rubbing his chest.

"Better?" Jiang Yuanyuan handed over the kettle, and in the kettle was the tea boiled this morning, which was boiled by a few herbs picked by Lao Yang, saying that it could make people more comfortable.

"Alas, it's just old." Steward Liu waved his hand, "It's nothing, I'm much better." ”

"You have a good rest, and when you are tired, just say, let's rest and adjust." Jiang Yuanyuan said with a smile, she stood up and shouted loudly to everyone, "If you don't feel well on the way, say it, your body is important." ”

"Okay!" Everyone should be harmonious, these days, although they are tired on the way, but there is no shortage of food and drink, and they are not bad.

"This Miss Jiang is really not squeamish at all." In the dart game, a man said, he whispered to his partner next to him, and secretly glanced at Jiang Yuanyuan a few times.

"But no, in the past ten days, I see that those men are more or less tired, she is a girl's family, and it is not convenient to walk, but she insists from beginning to end, without saying a word, sometimes it is not very convenient, she has not complained, there is no shelf, and she does everything herself." Another said.

"If there is a chance, I want to chase Miss Jiang, alas, it's just a pity that we do this, often live on the tip of the knife, and always go out, how can I have a chance to marry a daughter-in-law."

"Eh Xiaoyang, do you like that Miss Jiang, when I used to bring darts, I didn't see you always taking other girls here and there to watch."

"What nonsense?" Xiao Yang said dryly, he didn't know how to do it, and he was busy with the things in his hands.

"The little cubs are all working around here." Lao Yang walked over and slapped these idle and bored people in the back, "If it's okay, go around and look at the road, one by one, for you to be idle." ”

"Lao Yang, don't say it, I think you are also interesting to other girls."

"It's funny, I'm interested and can force others, go and go, don't make fun here, other girls have people they like."

Hearing this, Xiao Yang's hand shaking honey paused, he scratched his head, and continued to shake.

When she was sleeping at night, Jiang Yuanyuan heard someone shouting outside, she stood in front of the tent and waited cautiously for a while, and heard this person still shouting quietly.

Her tent was next to the fire, so it shouldn't be a villain.

"Who? What's the matter? Jiang Yuanyuan asked in a low voice, whether it is safe or not, it is better to take precautions.

"It's me."

Jiang Yuanyuan listened carefully, this is what Xiao Yang likes to say, with their hometown accent.

Open the tent, Xiao Yang stood next to the tent, he handed the jar in his hand to Jiang Yuanyuan, Jiang Yuanyuan opened it curiously, and the fragrance came to his nose, it was honey.

"So much honey?" Jiang Yuanyuan said in surprise and got closer to smell it.

They ate honey barbecue in the evening, it tasted really good, and after adding seasonings, brushing honey, the barbecue tasted really good, and she was tempted to eat half of the chicken.

"Well, I shook two jars out, one jar is enough for us on the way, and you also helped to get the hive, so I'll give you all this jar." Xiao Yang grabbed his head and said with a smile.

Jiang Yuanyuan was a little hesitant, in fact, she followed the whole process, and then watched Xiao Yang cut off the beehive and then followed back, basically nothing was done, but she could also see that this was just an excuse made by Xiao Yang, and after hesitating for a while, Jiang Yuanyuan decisively accepted it.

"That's really thank you La!" Closing the lid, Jiang Yuanyuan said happily.

Xiao Yang smiled, revealing his big white teeth.

"I... I think... Hungry... I don't have anything to do, I'm just giving you this, you go and rest, it's not early now. Xiao Yang grabbed his head and said.

"Well, you get some rest early, too." Jiang Yuanyuan nodded, turned around and walked in, and closed the door.

Xiao Yang watched the tent close, and scratched his head in frustration, he originally wanted to invite Jiang Yuanyuan to go with him to see the moon.

This time they walked along a jumping stream, the stream came to the end, it was their destination, today was fifteen, it was a full moon, and then the full moon could be seen by the river, he came over with honey, just to find an excuse to ask Jiang Yuanyuan out, but just as soon as he was nervous, he couldn't speak.

Walking to the fire and sitting, Xiao Yang sighed heavily.

"What a boy, what's sighing here." Lao Yang walked over and slapped Xiao Yang's head.

"Why are you, not ......" Xiao Yang turned around, his eyes widened, and he spoke incoherently.

"I swapped with him." Lao Yang said calmly, "Don't beat other people's minds, I can see that she has someone in her heart." ”

"I didn't ......" Xiao Yang muttered, saying that he didn't believe it, he held his chin, a little depressed, "I just think, I didn't get married anyway, it doesn't matter if I try." ”

"Don't get caught up in it." Lao Yang said, "In our business, we are often away from home, and it is dangerous to receive big business, you like other people's girls, yes, if you fall into it, it is easy to make mistakes." ”

"And people don't like you." Lao Yang summed up, interrupting what Xiao Yang was about to say, he stood up and patted Xiao Yang's shoulder, "Think about it." ”

After walking for four days, they walked to the place, as far as they passed, although the grain here is also a little less, but it is better than their side, the closer to the north, the more grain here, but more of them do to buy and sell mushrooms, because the news is a little far away, although in the city here, the town has also closed several shops selling grain, but there are still many families selling grain.

However, they did not plan to buy in the shops, they went directly to the township, found many villages, and bought them at a high price, sixty wen per catty, although the village chief was also a little hesitant, but they also agreed, and they said to some people who were relatively wealthy in the family, they walked for seven or eight days one after another, found dozens of villages, and also purchased more than 200 catties of grain.

For the people who make fires on the side of these mountains, they are not short of food, their best food is in the mountains, as long as they go to the mountains, there will be a lot of food that can be enough for them to eat for a long time, many village chiefs have told Jiang Yuanyuan that the imperial court has come to buy grain no less than five times, and there are also many caravans buying grain, although they have a lot of grain here, but if they are purchased once or twice, there will be no surplus.
