Seeing the familiar traces appear on the trees, Ou Yangming was also silent.

And they passed by this place not long ago.

When passing by, Jiang Zhiyue also pointed out the scratches on the tree to him, and discussed with him what animal left the scratches.

As the two of them spoke, the rest of the group heard them.

So when Jiang Zhiyue called Ou Yangming to take a look, Old Man Jiang and the others also walked over to take a look, and they all saw the traces.

The crowd was silent, and it seemed that they had indeed lost their way without knowing it.

They thought they had gone a long way, but they walked back after walking for so long.

Huang Huaihua asked worriedly: "What can we do about this, why don't we turn around and go back to the mountain road?" ”

Wang Hao looked at his mother and explained: "Mother, since we are lost, it means that we have confused the direction, and now I don't know which direction to go even if we want to go out." ”

Huang Huaihua became even more anxious when she heard this, and kept muttering: "What can I do, what can I do!" ”

Wang Fengshou's brain was about to explode by her muttering, and said: "Stop talking, your head is making you dizzy, let's think of a way to get out together." ”

Then he looked at Jiang Zhiyue and asked, "Yue girl, do you have any good ideas?" ”

Jiang Zhiyue looked up at the sky, the leaves were too dense, and the light that could shoot down was very weak.

But now they've been wandering around the woods for a long time.

She thought of a few ways to try it, but since it was late, she didn't worry about it.

She nodded and said, "There are indeed a few ways to do it. ”

"Everyone is tired from the day, let's stop here and rest for a while, and try again tomorrow when it is dawn."

There is no objection to this.

Originally, they waited outside the city gate for Jiang Zhiyue and them to come back, but they hadn't eaten, but now that they had been walking for so long, they were already tired and hungry.

Knowing what to rest here, everyone started to do what they had to do in an orderly manner.

Zhang's family picked up some rocks around and piled up a simple stove to put pots on it, and a few children picked up dry branches from this piece and came back to make a fire.

Because the forest was so dark that people couldn't figure out the direction, Mrs. Jiang told them not to run far.

Gorou and Rokuro obediently agreed, and followed Saburo Shiro to pick up branches around here.

Jiang Yulai was not assigned a task, and helped Xiao Wang down from the ox cart to let her move.

The child in Xiao Wang's womb was already seven months old, and Jiang Zhiyue looked bigger than the big iron pot they used to cook rice.

Every time she came down to do the activity, everyone asked Jiang Yulai to follow closely, for fear that something would happen.

Mrs. Jiang was about to pinch her heart when she saw it on the side, and said, "Why don't you go, stop and rest." ”

Mu Qiqi persuaded: "Grandma Jiang, Aunt Wang is pregnant with twins, if you don't move much now, it will be dangerous if you don't have the strength to give birth at that time." ”

Mu Qiqi followed her father to study medicine, which involved a wide range of aspects, although she was still an unmarried girl, so she would not take these into account.

Mrs. Jiang was also from the past, and she knew how dangerous it was to have no strength during childbirth, so she didn't say anything.

Others pitched their tents not far away.

Watching Mrs. Jiang and them cook, Jiang Zhiyue thought of the things she had bought in the city in the morning, and took some of them out of the back basket.

Jiang Zhiyue took out more than a dozen eggs from the back basket, and also took out a few salted duck eggs, and some of them were also taken out with meat buns, chili peppers, pork and roast chicken.

Sun looked at the same things he took out, and said distressedly: "I bought so many things, it will cost a lot of money." ”

Jiang Zhiyue said with a smile: "It didn't cost much, we didn't have the strength to travel all day without eating." ”

"When we get to the place, the silver will always be earned, so don't worry about the second aunt."

As soon as Sun thought about it, he happily took away the things that Jiang Zhiyue took out.

Jiang Zhiyue, in order to facilitate the next time to take out the things, said: "I also bought other things in the city, and I will take them out when I can use them, and they will be taken out in the same way." ”

Mrs. Jiang glanced at her and said, "Okay, you can just leave it yourself." ”

When Goro Rokuro saw Jiang Zhiyue come out with so many things, he ran to her side and shouted.

Rokuro asked, "Sister, did you buy candy?" ”

Gorou also answered: "I want to eat that white candy last time." ”

Zhang knocked him on the head and scolded: "Don't mess around, it's good to have food, and you even chose it, your sister can eat whatever she buys." ”

In her heart, she knew that the kind of candy that Jiang Zhiyue took out last time was so precious, it must have been conjured up in the treasure chest that the old fairy gave her daughter, and she could go back to it.

Gorou covered his head and looked at the Zhang family sadly, Jiang Zhiyue couldn't help but laugh, and said, "Sister bought a lot of candy in the city, but she can only eat one a day. ”

"Good~"

When Rokuro heard that there were many kinds, he couldn't wait to ask, "Sister, let me see what candy you bought." ”

Jiang Zhiyue didn't continue to sell Guanzi, and mixed some candies in the space with some pastries and candies bought in the city and took them out.

The two of them cheered excitedly when they saw so many candies.

Jiang Zhiyue picked up the white candy that Gorou said, which was actually the little white rabbit toffee that Jiang Zhiyue changed the packaging and gave it to everyone.

She kept shuttling through the crowd, busy and happy.

When she distributed all the candy to everyone, the tent was set up, and the Zhang family and several of them who were cooking also made the meal.

Today's dinner is very sumptuous, and it is basically taken out by Jiang Zhiyue.

There are shredded roast chicken, scrambled eggs with chili, braised pork, white and fat buns, fragrant white porridge, and vermicelli pies.

It was also rare to see two vegetables, of course, the vegetables were taken out of the space by Jiang Zhiyue.

When Jiang Zhiyue was shopping, Ou Yangming followed her every step of the way, clearly remembering what she bought.

Those vegetables and sweets, Ou Yangming didn't see them when he was shopping.

Ou Yangming's lowered eyes darkened, these things seemed to have been conjured out of thin air by Jiang Zhiyue.

He knew that Jiang Zhiyue had a lot of secrets, but she didn't want to say it, and he wouldn't force him to ask, so he just didn't find it and silently lowered his head to eat.

Jiang Zhiyue secretly glanced at Ou Yangming, felt that his expression had not changed, and felt that he should not have noticed anything wrong, so he ate with peace of mind.

Before going to bed, everyone sprinkled medicinal powder around each tent to prevent snakes, rats, insects and ants.

There was no daylight in the woods, and everyone slept soundly, and when they woke up the next day, they didn't know when.

Jiang Zhiyue secretly took out an electronic watch from her arms, and the time on it showed that it was ten o'clock in the morning.

Jiang Zhiyue cleaned up inside the tent and hurried out, but before she knew it, it was already so late.

One after another, the crowd came out of their tents.

Jiang Zhiyue looked up, because it was blocked by interlaced branches and leaves, and the light that could be seen was extremely weak.

The light on the ground shone from among the leaves, swaying on the ground.

Jiang Yulai walked out of the other tent and looked up at Jiang Zhiyue's gaze.

asked, "Is there any way to discern the direction of the child?" ”

Everyone has not forgotten that Jiang Zhiyue said that there was a way last night, and their eyes were focused on her.

Jiang Yuchao suddenly thought that he had seen in a book the method of identifying the direction according to the annual rings of the tree stump.

Then he asked, "But do you have to discern the direction of the trees according to the direction of their growth?" ”

Then he said to himself: "But when we came in, we didn't see any broken stubs, and these trees are so big that it is inconvenient to cut down one." ”

Jiang Zhiyue naturally thought of this method, but just like her father said, it is not convenient to rely on this method in this forest.

So what she said was a few other methods, and Jiang Zhiyue directly said her own methods.

"Don't look for the stump, everyone looks at the shadows on the ground."

Everyone looked towards the place where Jiang Zhiyue was pointing.

There were shadows of branches and leaves on the ground that were constantly shaking.

Mrs. Jiang asked anxiously: "Zhiyue, don't sell Guanzi, tell us quickly." ”

Jiang Zhiyue smiled and continued: "Grandma, don't worry, the time should only be around midnight now, the sun is rising in the northeast direction, and the direction of the shadow that shines down is the southwest direction, everyone carefully look at the shadow on the ground." ”

The crowd looked again, and saw the dim shadows diagonally in one direction.

Yesterday, after they arrived in the woods, they had been worried that someone would chase them after them, so they hurried away, and by the time they found out that something was wrong, it was already afternoon.

The sunlight was so faint, so naturally I didn't notice what Jiang Zhiyue said.

Now that Jiang Zhiyue has brought it up, everyone thinks that this is indeed a good method.

Jiang Dalang looked at the shadow on the ground and said excitedly: "So it's the southwest direction." ”

"Yes." Jiang Zhiyue smiled and said: "There is also this stone, this moss grows vigorously, which means that it is the north, we can follow the shadow cast by the sun to identify the direction, and then adapt at any time." ”

Everyone thought it was a good idea, and they couldn't wait to start experimenting.

Mrs. Jiang was also very happy that she could finally find her way, but she still stopped the impatient crowd, "Even if you want to go, you have to pad your stomach first, and hurry up to collect all the things, and we will set off in a while." ”

Because of the excitement of finding the direction, everyone didn't cook on the fire, and after eating some briefly, they loaded everything on the cart and set off.

Originally, they had already used up the contents of one cart and one ox cart, but Mr. Wang was reluctant to throw away the cart, so he shared part of the things on the other two ox carts.

It also takes strength to pull the cart, and when there is less stuff on it, it doesn't take so much effort.

Everyone took turns pushing the cart, and occasionally they could ride on the ox cart.
