Chapter Seventy-Seven: Hurry to the Snow Mountain
"Didn't the couple find you?" Qin Xiaoniang asked worriedly.
Zhang Xiu'e shook her head, and while carrying the things into the car, she replied: "No, anyway, I didn't ride her horse for nothing, I have already put the money, although it is not much, but it is also my heart, even if this horse does not belong to us, it will be taken away by others, why bother?" ”
Qin Xiaoniang helped her pack her things, and then carried the children into the carriage.
"Okay, okay, it's come to this, let's hurry out of the city to avoid long nights and dreams."
"Good!"
Everyone carried their things and jumped into the carriage, while Li Qiang's daughter-in-law and Zhang Xiu'e sat at the front, waved their long whips, and the carriage galloped away.
The area of Luancheng is not large, and the carriage traveled to the gate of the city in just one hour.
The soldiers defending the city were young samurai, all dressed in armor and speaking with great eloquence.
"Dismount and be interrogated one by one." The leading soldier stopped the carriage.
Zhang Xiu'e took out the waist card prepared in advance from her arms and handed it to the soldier.
"We were ordered to go out of the city."
The soldier took it, looked left and right, and asked in disbelief, "Who else is in the car?" ”
Zhang Xiu'e smiled and opened the curtain very calmly, wanting the officers and soldiers to see it clearly.
"Have you seen it? It's all some female dependents, unarmed, if you search it, you can search it, but you can recognize this waist card, don't offend anyone who doesn't know it......"
The soldier was very smart, and of course he understood the meaning of Zhang Xiu'e's words, so he didn't bother much, waved his hand, and let them out.
Qin Xiaoniang and the others broke out in a cold sweat, for fear that they would not be able to get out of the city safely today.
Seeing that their carriage drove away from Luancheng safely, Song He'er also breathed a sigh of relief.
She lifted the curtain and looked back, her heart full of mixed feelings......
After coming to Xizhou for a few days, she didn't suffer much sin, speaking of which, she should also thank herself for this handsome face, if it weren't for His Royal Highness remembering her old relationship with others, I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to come out safely......
"He'er, what's wrong? Is it unwell? ”
Chun Rao asked in a low voice while hugging Brother Huan.
"Fourth aunt, I'm fine, I'm just so happy, we finally escaped again, yes! By the way, do you still have the map we got from the officers and soldiers last time? ”
"Here I am!" Chundi took out the complete map from her arms.
Song He'er smiled, took the map from Chundi's hand and looked at it carefully, "It's still the fifth aunt who is careful, thanks to you, you know to carry this important thing with you, you have encountered so many things recently, if it weren't for the fourth aunt, it is estimated that this map would have been lost long ago!" ”
ChunraoThis is the first time I have heard other people's appreciation, and my heart is happy.
"I can't help you with anything, I can only focus on these little things, He'er don't make fun of me."
Song He'er didn't speak, but quietly looked at the map in her hand.
Take a closer look, now they are still in the boundary of Xizhou, out of Luancheng, they have to climb over a snow-capped mountain, go around the mountain, and they will not be far from the wild land, Xinzhou.
"Fifth sister, why do I feel colder and colder the more I walk?" Sister Nian suddenly asked.
"There seems to be a snow-capped mountain ahead, and we have to pass through it to reach Xinzhou."
Qin Xiaoniang took out a cloak from her package and put it on Sister Nian'er, "We bought winter clothes today, everyone can share one, but there is no replacement, cotton clothes are more expensive than ordinary clothes, I am afraid that I will spend all the money, and there is no money to deal with those officers and soldiers in Xinzhou, so everyone can only settle for some." ”
Chun Rao sighed, "Cotton clothes are not a problem, but the quilt is not bought, if you sleep on the snowy mountain and there is no quilt, then you will be frozen to death." ”
There are a lot of silk quilts brought out of Song He'er's space from the General's Mansion, which must be enough for everyone, but I don't know what to find to take it out.
If you can meet any bankers on the way, take some money to exchange, I'm afraid that the more you go, the more desolate it will become.
After all, whoever will live at the foot of the snow-capped mountain must have escaped, and no one wants to live in the bitter cold land.
"Take one step at a time, if there are croppers in front, let's go and change a few quilts with others, simple people are often easier to talk." Qin Xiaoniang explained.
The sun was setting in the west, and the temperature outside had dropped.
After a day of carriage riding, it was inevitable that people would be tired, so Zhang Xiu'e and Li Qiang's daughter-in-law parked the car on the side of the road and prepared to make some hot soup to drink.
Song He'er jumped out of the car, ready to go to the side to pick up some dry branches.
Chundi followed from behind, and said while helping: "The snowy mountain is not easy to walk, the temperature is still low, let's pick up some dry firewood, otherwise I am afraid that we will not be able to make a fire in the few days on the mountain." ”
Song He'er really didn't think of this for a while, thanks to Chundi's reminder.
The two of them picked up two large bundles of dry firewood, and when they went back, they really startled Qin Xiaoniang.
"You two, how did you get so much dry firewood?"
"I'm going up the mountain in two days, what if the firewood on the mountain is all wet and I can't find something dry?"
Li Qiang's daughter-in-law sighed, "Although I said that, but suddenly there was so much firewood, and our carriage was already crowded, and I am afraid that we will suffer even more." ”
Song He'er looked around the carriage and suddenly spoke, "It's okay, tie them up and put them on the roof of the carriage, and the people inside us can be as spacious!" ”
She remembers that in modern society, some business vehicles that go out for travel will also have some luggage tied to them.
This not only saves space in the car, but also allows a lot of stuff to fit.
"That's a good idea! Tian Niangzi, you come to cook vegetable soup, and I will use a rope to tie the excess firewood to the roof of the carriage! ”
"Good!"
Everyone performs their duties and is busy with their own errands.
Green vegetables are easy to rot in water, but in the time of half a column of incense, the fragrant vegetable soup is ready.
I didn't buy too many dishes, because they were too heavy and hard to wash, so the children ate first, and after they were finished, the adults continued to eat with those dishes.
Rice with clear soup and little water is tasteless, but none of the big guys are picky, and they all drink the soup completely.
Seeing that it was getting late and late, there was a birch forest ahead, and instead of resting in the dark mountain forest, it was better to be on the avenue, after lighting torches, no beast dared to approach here.
"Tian Niangzi, didn't you buy a tent? Spread out the quilt and rest here tonight......"
