Chapter 329: Baked Cake in My Arms
After standing for a while, Wu Zhiyuan also went downstairs with Ju'er. After packing up, Zhang Dashuai ordered someone to send two knee-high wooden boxes, which were full of oceans, saying that this way was far away, and he brought more plates to wrap up in case of emergency.
Zhang Dashuai untied his own gun from his waist again, stuffed it into Wu Zhiyuan's hand, and advised: "Sun Haozi has bad intentions, you must beware, you can take this gun with you, and you can deal with it in an emergency." ”
"I'm learning Maoshan, it's enough to have a wooden sword." Wu Zhiyuan smiled and returned the shell gun to Zhang Dashuai.
When he walked out of the villa of the Great Marshal's Mansion, Wu Zhiyuan suddenly remembered the batch of gold and silver ingots that Li Lanru had hidden in the pool in the cave at the foot of the White Horse Mountain, and told Zhang Dashuai that if his army was short of funds, he could go to the cave of the White Horse Mountain to dig in 7749 days, and there were many treasures in the pool inside. The reason why he was told that he would not be able to dig until forty-nine days later was because there were still seven or eight corpses in one of the branches, and those corpses would only die after forty-nine days because they had not swallowed Gu poison.
Out of the iron gate of the Marshal's Mansion, Wu Zhiyuan saw three carriages parked at the door at a glance, Sun Haozi was sitting in the position of the last one, holding a toothpick in his mouth, crossing Erlang's legs, squinting at the rising sun in the east, as soon as he saw Wu Zhiyuan and others coming out, he jumped down from the wheel as soon as he turned over, and pointed to the three carriages behind him with a smile: "Brother Wu, how is it?" Two carriages carrying people, one carrying water and dry food, and we set off immediately! ”
"There's Brother Laosun." Wu Zhiyuan politely said a few words, seeing that the canopies of these three carriages were brand new and sturdy, they were obviously carefully prepared.
Several people got into the car separately, Hua Gu, Lai Di, Manniu, and Yu Yisu shared a car, driven by Manniu, and Wu Zhiyuan, Ju'er, and Sun Haozi shared a car, and Sun Haozi drove by Sun Haozi. Sun Haozi was familiar with the official road to the Jiaodong area, so he drove in the front, with the carriage carrying water and dry food in the middle, and the carriage driven by the bull at the end.
Wu Zhiyuan lifted the curtain on the window and waved goodbye to Zhang Dashuai, Sun Haozi pulled the reins of the horse and drove the carriage down the street to the east.
Along the way, Wu Zhiyuan saw that there were already pedestrians on the streets, roadside shops were also open, some burned houses were being rebuilt, and occasionally soldiers could be seen patrolling, and the entire city of Jinan was being rejuvenated.
Although the interference of the Manchu forces could no longer be seen on the surface, Wu Zhiyuan knew in his heart that Zhang Yongheng was still facing many difficulties, not only Li Lanru, an evil retro force, was secretly causing trouble, but also many large and small warlord forces were eyeing this ancient city, and he still had a long way to go in the future.
The three carriages soon left Jinan City, and Sun Haozi took the lead and walked directly onto the official road to the east.
At this time, the weather was clear and the road was smooth, so the carriage traveled very fast, and it ran out of more than 100 miles at about noon. Although the speed of travel is fast, but also consider the problem of staying in the store, try to find the village or inn before the evening, otherwise you can only spend the night in the carriage in the wilderness, although Sun Haozi is thoughtful, but did not take this into account, so there is no quilt and other cold things on the carriage. It was early winter, and the nights were already chilly, so it was important to find a place to stay before the evening.
However, no matter how they calculated, they still did not find a place to stay before evening, and the three horses were exhausted after a long day's travel. Looking around, a few people were still on the deserted official road.
Sun Haozi grabbed the reins of the horse, and the two carriages behind him also stopped.
"Brother Wu, it seems that we can only spend the night in this wilderness tonight." Sun Haozi looked back at Wu Zhiyuan in the canopy.
"The official road is too conspicuous, let's find a place to spend the night in the woods, it is not easy to attract the attention of the mountain bandits, and secondly, it can also block the wind and cold." Wu Zhiyuan thought for a moment and said.
"Mountain thief Kou ......" Sun Haozi laughed dryly, "You forgot what my brother and I do, if there is really a bandit, Lao Tzu will go to serve his nest!" Although he said this, Sun Haozi still looked around, and saw a pine forest not far to the north, so he turned his horse's head and drove in the direction of the pine forest.
The carriage stopped in the pine forest, and several men got out of the carriage and tied the horses to the pine trees, and looked around for some hay to feed the horses.
Hua Gu and Lai Di raised a fire in the open space in the middle, and everyone sat around the fire and ate dry food. Wu Zhiyuan went to the carriage to fetch water, and when he saw the box of ocean given by Zhang Dashuai on the carriage, he couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, in this kind of place, no matter how much money there is, it is useless, but a burden.
Back to the fire, Wu Zhiyuan gave the water to everyone, then sat by the fire, picked up a piece of baked cake and was about to stuff it into his mouth, a slender hand reached over, and put down the baked cake in his hand.
"You eat this." Ju'er put aside the baked cake she snatched from Wu Zhiyuan's hand, took out a handkerchief from her arms, and opened the towel layer by layer, and there was a piece of baked cake inside!
"What's the difference?" Wu Zhiyuan looked at the baked cake that Ju'er was holding in his hand, and looked stunned, this was obviously also taken out of the dry food baggage, and he couldn't see any difference.
"This one is hot, the one in your hand is so hard, not to mention, it's so cold." Ju'er smiled, stuffed the baked cake in the towel into Wu Zhiyuan's hand, put the baked cake snatched from Wu Zhiyuan's hand to his lips, and took a bite gently.
This simple sentence and this simple action made Wu Zhiyuan's heart suddenly feel an inexplicable feeling, which was indifferent, melodious, and indescribable. Wu Zhiyuan realized that Ju'er actually warmed the baked cake with body temperature, and the baked cake was not cool at this time, but had a faint sense of temperature, which showed that Ju'er had made preparations when she was in the carriage, and she did not wrap the baked cake in her arms when she settled here. And she gave the warm baked cake to Wu Zhiyuan, but she nibbled on the cold and hard baked cake.
No one has ever taken such subtle and intimate care of him, even if it is his own mother, that kind of maternal care cannot be meticulous. After all, Wu Zhiyuan is a man with strong blood, and he looked at Ju'er in a daze at this time, and he was actually out of his mind.
"Eat it, it'll be cold soon." Ju'er naturally felt the strangeness in Wu Zhiyuan's eyes, and lowered her head shyly.
Ju'er's words brought Wu Zhiyuan's mood back to reality, he squeezed out a smile at Ju'er, and took a big bite of the baked cake in his hand.
The firewood in the fire burned "crackling", and the slight "whirring" sound of the flames when it was burning, so Wu Zhiyuan and Ju'er's soft words were not heard by others.
But the every move of the two of them had already been clearly seen by Lai Di, who was sitting opposite, she glanced at Wu Zhiyuan and Ju'er with disgust, and said disdainfully: "Three days and four times, I am not lucky!" ”
