Chapter 30: On the Road
Mules travel along the northwest direction, there are national highways, there are highways, and there are mud roads in the countryside.
Within two days, the cubs were impatient to stay in the car and asked to go with the adults. Indeed, the shock absorption function on the car is very weak, and after sitting for less than half a day, the buttocks are not their own, and the old ladies can't help but rub their waists, feeling that this old bone is going to fall apart.
On the way out of Chengdu, there are also various migratory families and sporadic displaced people, and occasionally you can see the carriages and horses of large families, among which one family is particularly conspicuous.
There were dozens of people in his entourage, some carrying bows and arrows, some holding swords in their hands, all of them with straight waists, and the curtains on the carriages had never been opened, a total of 5 carriages.
Daddy Hu, who is socially, went over to inquire during a break, but was coldly rejected.
Compared with the conversation of children and daughters-in-law in the downstream village, the family is very quiet.
"Ouch, big families are just factional, and they don't want to say hello to the people in our village!"
"It's not, it's like something, we didn't go to them to make a relationship!"
"Who did you say was in that car, who hadn't been out of the car for a day, and you said, these people don't have to and pee?"
"Hey, I know, people have toilet drops in their cars!"
"Tsk, in the words of the big head mother, it's poverty that limits my imagination!"
As long as a few old women get together, they love to mumble together, and they don't suppress their voices as if they are afraid that others will not hear them.
It was another day of night camping, and the further north we went, the more difficult it became to find water, even if it was the mountain runner Hu Laopa, who did not find a suitable water source in the wild that day, everyone decided to go to a nearby village to find a well.
The place where they camped was still a few miles away from the nearest village, and in a mountain nest, everyone took advantage of the glimmer of darkness to set up a camping thing, and the old man of the Qian butcher's family and Yuan Laosan hooked their shoulders and were willing to go to the nearest village to find a well.
The two fathers gave the two of them a warning before they were released. Fourteen or fifteen-year-old boys, when will this be left without exercise? After Yuan Laosan came out of the downstream village, the whole person calmed down a lot, especially when he went to the battlefield in Chengdu Mansion, and he was more ruthless.
In less than half an hour, the two fled back in embarrassment, panting with their hands on their thighs:
"Dad, you can't pass through the front village!"
"This village doesn't look right!"
"What's wrong?"
"That village is full of men, no mother-in-law and no baby!"
"We didn't dare to disturb, we lay on the tree at the entrance of the village and watched for a while, and we could hear drinking and punching inside, so we didn't dare to go in."
The money butcher gave high praise to the two young men: "The boys are good, it should be like this, even if we are naughty, we must ensure the safety of the big guys." ”
I can't rest now, let's avoid this village overnight, and I have to go around quietly.
In a quarter of an hour, the luggage was packed, the mule hooves were covered with sackcloth, and the chicken cart was all put into the cart.
The old man and the child carried the back of the strong laborer, quietly bypassed the village, the two ends are relatively capable, walked ten kilometers during the day, this will also whisper that they can still walk for a while, and then let the second and third uncles carry them when they can't walk, and they are reluctant to burden their mothers.
This walk was enough for the whole night, and in the second half of the night the children could not stand it, and they would already sleep and snore on the backs of adults.
Yuan Laosan gritted his teeth and carried his eldest nephew on his back, why is this little rabbit cub so heavy! Who is not a mother's baby, I want to cry.
At dawn, when they arrived outside the county seat of Jinxian County, a group of tired people sat on the ground in collapse, for a day and a night, it was estimated that their legs were nearly 20 kilometers, and they really couldn't do it.
The size of Jin County is about the same as that of Qing County, and after finding a medium-sized inn, everyone urgently needs to rest and drink.
A group of people who have been accustomed to sleeping in the shared house, arranged in an orderly manner, and explained the food and drink for the mules and donkeys, and when everyone went to sleep, Cuihua went out, found a thatched house and no one, and entered the space.
Cuihua took a battle bath and quickly fried herself two large pieces of steak and a large pot of fruit and vegetable salad, which was golden Wagyu beef sirloin.
Smear a little salt, olive oil into the pan, one side only needs to fry on high heat until more than one minute to two minutes, no pepper and other seasonings, high-quality ingredients, only a little salt can be satisfied, charred on the outside and tender on the inside, delicious and juicy.
The fruit and vegetable salad mixed with sour plum vinaigrette is the best partner for relieving greasyness, and grape juice can be had without wine, and it is finally alive again.
I saw Heiwa's message in the space, and she was still on the way to pursue King Lu. I also fried a few ten-ripe steaks for him, and cut them into pieces intimately, put them on the plate, and after leaving a message on the situation, I picked an old variety of peach out of the space.
On the streets of the county, in addition to the large flow of people in the grain store and grocery store, many restaurants are closed, and the business of the dart bureau is also very prosperous. Waste shoes!
After Cuihua finished sweeping the grass and linen shoes in the grocery store, she swept a lot of cloth shoes in a ready-to-wear store, the weather was so hot, she simply bought a lot of short shoes for children, the ancients were not happy to show their arms and legs in summer, children can try it.
Back at the inn, go back to your room and sleep together. This night, everyone slept until the unitary time, and ate the peach after the meal, this sense of happiness came too strongly, and the peach in the northwest was too sweet, so delicious.
Half of the basket of peaches, more than 70 people, dried up in less than half an hour. Seeing the shoes she bought and the children's short fights, the daughters-in-law also asked to buy them together, and it was another round of procurement, and they also bought a lot of white flour baked cakes in a baked cake shop.
Everyone discussed, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, you can adjust the travel, you can rest during the day in the future, and walk at night when it is cool, although you walk slower, but it is safe, as long as you inquire about the direction of the route, every time you hit the tip in the county or town, it is the time to replenish the grain and grass and plan the route map.
Before the arrival of the sea, the inn ushered in a group of very embarrassed people, everyone looked, yo! Isn't this the big family with a cold heart?
How did it look so embarrassing, dozens of entourages looked at most of them hung up, and soon there were only two left, a mother-in-law carrying a three-year-old girl out of the carriage, followed by a woman with a hood.
An elderly woman and her servant came down from another carriage, and looked at the inn with disgust.
The innkeeper stepped forward to say hello and check in for the guests, and an entourage who had been inquired about by Daddy Hu saw the group of people and nodded.
"I'm obedient, do you see? What's going on? Did we do it in the village we passed by last night? ”
"Oh, did you see that mother-in-law just now? The face is as ugly as not being able to pull out! Hey! ”
"You actually nodded to us just now, now it's okay, know who is a good person! Hum! We don't bother with them! ”
