Chapter 185: Barricades
Shopkeeper Zhao handed over the grain and water on the carriage to Old Man Xiang, who hurriedly distributed the food and water evenly to the four ox carts according to the number of people, and took as much as he wanted to eat when the time came.
The village chief and Hanhe both felt guilty, but now this situation can only be accepted with a cheeky face, Xiang Hanqin accepted it with a smile, she came out with a lot of pork and bacon, and handed it over to Old Man Xiang.
Shun Shihan sat back in his carriage, and the rich carriage went hand in hand, the driver was still a fog guard, and the horse was given to the butcher, his ferocity was seen by Fubao and them, this is a good seedling, and it must be cultivated well.
In this way, I walked for four or five days in a row, and it is estimated that there are still thirty or fifty miles to get to the provincial capital, and everyone is in high spirits when they get the news, as long as they enter the provincial capital, they can find an inn to wash well.
Fu Bao's energy radiated out, and now the wind and grass hundreds of miles away can be seen clearly for her casually, not to mention the distance of only thirty or fifty miles, but this look makes Fu Bao a little dumbfounded.
The main road into the provincial capital was tightly blocked by hundreds of stones, and the only way to go was a big mountain on the side, which was slightly lower than the camphor mountain, but there was no road on the mountain at all, and it was not easy for the hungry to climb up.
All the hungry people who walked in the direction of the provincial capital were blocked behind these stones, and the number of people became more and more, and they were almost discharged for a mile, and the people behind did not know why they did not go in front, and the people in front were worried that the people behind would swarm up, and it was simply noisy.
Fu Bao hurriedly told Shun Shihan about the situation, and Shun Shihan sneered when he heard it, he didn't need to guess to know that this must be a bad idea from the governor, you must know that this guy is also the confidant of the fourth prince.
On the surface, it seems to prevent the hungry people from entering the city, but in fact, he has long known that the six princes will come to him along this road, and he has long known what happened to the prefect of Fucheng, so he has begun to take precautions.
"Fubao, can that mountain lead to the provincial capital?" The sixth prince knew that Fu Bao could see far away, and hurriedly asked.
Fu Bao's spiritual power was emanated, and the trees in the lower half of the entire mountain were basically dead, and there was an extremely shallow trickle near the top of the mountain, attracting the animals in the mountain to drink water.
Turning over this mountain is not a provincial town, but another place, and the map of the six princes is blank behind this mountain, so I don't know where it is.
"Cousin Shihan, there are fierce beasts on the mountain, and over this mountain, my grandmother and father can't go down the mountain at all, the mountain road is very steep, they shouldn't be able to go down."
Fubao's spiritual power shrouds this mountain, and his heart likes it tightly, if he cultivates here, he will get twice the result with half the effort, but it is a pity that his father and mother cannot settle here.
The sixth prince frowned, he understood what Fu Bao said, but he had never seen it with his own eyes, and he didn't know how to choose.
Fu Bao stretched out his hand, a piece of rice paper and a brush appeared in his hand, drawing a simple road map of what he saw, and the six princes looked at the lines that curved up and then straight down, and couldn't help but be shocked.
"Fubao, is this road on the edge of a cliff, no wonder you said that aunt and grandmother can't go down the mountain." The six princes looked at the other side of the mountain, which was almost in a straight line, and was surprised.
Fu Bao painted with her eyes closed, she just drew what she saw with her mental power on paper, maybe the paper was too small, and the cliffs she saw were big, and the painting was a little out of place.
Picking up the brush to revise and correct, he finally changed a straight straight line into an oblique line with an angle of about 75 degrees, and there were a few protruding points in the middle, which made the six princes breathe a sigh of relief.
If he wanted to know where the other side of the mountain was, the mountain from this angle would not be able to defeat his secret guards, but now that time was pressing, they would settle their aunt and grandmother first.
When the shopkeeper Zhao saw the route map, he couldn't help frowning, people can climb up, but what to do with cows and horses, and so many board cars, and the most important thing is what to do with the food on the board car.
And even if they crossed this mountain, they did not come to the provincial capital, it was an unknown place, and the people over there estimated that it was this steep cliff that made them stop the pace of climbing the mountain.
Fog Dark Guard secretly rolled his eyes, my moon master is very capable, and these things are not enough for her to hide, but I won't tell you about this dead old man, I'm in a hurry to kill you.
"Let's go back"
The sixth prince said suddenly.
Everyone didn't know why, it was not easy to come here, but they had to go back, so much time and energy was not wasted.
Fu Bao understood what the Six Princes meant, the stones blocking the road couldn't stop the Six Princes and the fog and their secret guards at all, and it was not a matter of minutes to go to the provincial capital.
He was worried that his grandmother and father, as well as his little aunt were pregnant, and the grandchildren of the village chief and second grandfather were too young to climb the mountain.
"Master, we can't go back, the road is like this, and the hungry people are coming here, we can't go back at all." Shopkeeper Zhao hurriedly said.
The six princes stood on the shoulders of the fog and looked into the distance, and sure enough, there was a dense crowd of people, all of whom were hungry people coming from the direction of the provincial capital.
Fu Bao's spiritual power also looked in the direction of the road he came from, his heart suddenly tightened, and the hungry people seemed to have increased again, and it seemed that the villages that passed along the road were ready to flee the famine.
"Why don't we find a cave in this mountain and let my aunt and grandmother hide for a few days, and then we will pick them up when we have cleared the barricades and found a place to stay." The sixth prince said hesitantly.
The reason why he hesitated was that he was not sure if he could find the cave, and most importantly, it was still a question of whether so many ox carts and horse-drawn carts could go up the mountain.
"My black cattle are bison, especially big black, they have been walking in the mountains for many years, and these mountain roads are not difficult for them, but these horses should be led by people." Fu Bao understood the hesitation of the Six Princes.
The sixth prince nodded, he had already thought about it, the food was carried by people, and if he couldn't carry it, let Fubao quietly collect the magic weapon, and the carriage and ox cart could be given up, and at most they would go to the provincial capital and buy it again.
When they were still a mile away from the gathering place of the hungry, Fugui reined in the carriage, which was the best place to go up the mountain, and they were ready to rest in this place for some time, the dry food was almost enough, and it was time to replenish it.
The sister-in-law led all the ladies to cook rice and boil water, weave straw sandals, fill all water bladders with water, fill all blankets with dry food, and hang straw sandals around their necks to facilitate replacement at any time.
After all, climbing a mountain is a tiring and dangerous process, and carrying things too heavily will inadvertently increase the danger.
In addition, the remaining bedding and daily pots and pans are also ready to hang on the four bison, Fu Bao said, they can carry the weight to climb the mountain, but it is a pity to discard those few frames.
They rested steadfastly, but the hungry people in front of them became even more noisy, and wanted to move away from the stones, but they had no choice but to move as much as they wanted, and the officials behind them added as much as they could, which was a road that could never be crossed.
