340, rush to the market
The next day, at 5:00 a.m. (8:15 a.m.).
"Sit down, let's go!"
At the sound of an order, I saw two electric tricycles carrying a full car of people slowly driving out of the gate of the village.
The electric tricycle in front was driven by Xia Ning's entourage Huzi, and next to him sat Wu Xing's daughter-in-law Wang Chunmei, after all, she was a local and familiar with the surrounding road conditions, so she was responsible for leading the way in today's market.
And Song Shaoqin drove the car and followed behind, the reason why he followed a group of female relatives to the town to catch the market was mainly because he was not worried about his girlfriend, after all, this is Dongchu not the 21st century, even if there is a group of people together, he is not worried about pinning her safety on others.
Instead of worrying about it when you work, it's better to accompany her.
Xia Ning sat in the passenger seat, looking at the beautiful scenery of the mountains and fields along the way, and was in a very happy mood.
After staying in the village for more than 20 days, now they can finally come out to let off steam, to be honest, they have been in Pingsha Town for so long, and they haven't had a good walk around the town.
When their team went down from the county seat to Baiyun Village, they hadn't actually entered Pingsha Town, but only passed by the town, so taking this opportunity, Xia Ning also wanted to follow a group of aunts and sisters-in-law to catch up with the market.
This time, the two electric tricycles in Shangpingsha Town carried a total of 16 people, plus four people in the driver's seat, and this trip just made up 20 integers.
There are a total of 36 households in Baiyun Village, but the situation of each family is different, not all of them have the conditions to enter the town to catch the market, and there are too many people and it is a little inconvenient, secondly, if there are fewer items in short supply, there is no need to make a special trip, just ask the neighbors to help buy on their behalf.
It may take more than half an hour to walk from Baiyun Village to Pingsha Town, and if you are driving, it will take about half an hour to reach the town in about three quarters of an hour.
The main purpose of entering the town this time was to purchase some supplies, and for the sake of everyone's safety and convenience, two trams were arranged to pick everyone up.
In this way, the two electric tricycles arrived in Pingsha Town in a leisurely manner.
"It's finally here."
"It's fast to take a car~"
"Yes, although there are some bumps on the road, it is much easier to walk without us having to walk by ourselves."
Wang Chunmei walked out of the car with a smile on her face, she couldn't stop being happy, this was the first time she took an electric three-wheeler, and she had heard the people in the village mention it many times before, and she also saw the picture of the Song family driving a car to transport things in the village.
However, today is the first time she has come into contact with the electric three wheels, and her excitement has not dissipated until now.
"Let's go, let's go into town."
Xia Ning hurriedly explained, "Then let's go in first, I left a cloth bag, if we haven't come back for a long time, you can eat something to cushion your stomach first." ”
"Okay, I know, don't worry about us, you pay more attention to your own safety, remember to send a signal if anything, you know?" Song Shaoqin admonished again.
This electric tricycle is really a bit eye-catching, not very suitable for driving into the town to 'swagger through the market', and again, it is not suitable for the two of them to follow a group of women to the market, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he and Huzi will not follow into the town, just find a corner outside the town to guard the car and wait for them to come out.
But considering that they were separated by a distance, they were worried that if they encountered an emergency, and the people they were guarding outside did not know, so before going out, the two of them discussed a contact method: send colored flares!
Although both of them have mobile phones, there is no Internet in this era, but fortunately, when they were buying outdoor camp supplies before, they bought a batch of colorful smoke bombs, which are used to seek companions in the case of outdoor adventure and getting lost.
"Remember, don't worry, I've got a self-defense weapon with me." After Xia Ning made an OK gesture to Song Shaoqin, he quickly followed the large army into Pingsha Town.
"This town isn't very big~"
Looking at the streets that are not very spacious and some old houses, everyone instantly has the same opinion.
"Everyone buys similar things, let's buy them together, this town is not so peaceful, try not to separate, let alone be alone."
Wang Chunmei whispered a word, this southern barbarian can be called 'barbaric', in addition to the geographical location is relatively remote and barren, and there is no food grown in the ground, there is also a reason for speaking out, that is, the atmosphere here is relatively open and barbaric.
Although there are not as many rules as in other prefectures, and there are not so many requirements for men and women to defend themselves, it also causes the people here to be too freewheeling and not subject to the constraints of etiquette and religion.
For example, in other prefectures, if a woman walks on the street, the man will try to avoid it, so as not to get too close and hinder the reputation, but here it is different, when you see the girl you like, you can directly come forward and ask for the name of Fang, if you meet an open-mouthed street gangster, you will even tease a woman in public without scruples.
After all, most of the prisoners in the Southern Barbarian Land were sent by the imperial court, and most of them were people with real character problems, and gradually, the people here became more and more undisciplined, and they became more and more bold and arbitrary.
So there is nothing to do on weekdays, and people in the surrounding villages basically don't go to the town to hang out, and they usually leave after buying things.
Wang Chunmei is not worried about herself, after all, she is an old woman in her thirties, she looks very ordinary, and she is very safe to walk on the street.
"Okay, let's buy it together."
"Sister-in-law Wu, don't worry, we won't act alone."
"We've got a special weapon for self-defense."
Wang Chunmei was slightly surprised, "Do you still have self-defense weapons?" ”
"That's right, it was given to us by Miss Xia before, and we have always kept it."
Du Mingzhen replied with a smile, she is not only a representative of the Wen family today, but also a representative sent by the logistics department, and her main task is to assist everyone in purchasing back to the village smoothly.
Yesterday, when informing everyone, she specially reminded everyone to bring electric shock batons, before the exile road, each of their female dependents was given a stun baton, originally thought that they would return to the Song family when they arrived at the destination, but they didn't expect Miss Xia to directly say that they gave it to everyone for self-defense.
Therefore, except for the original few families in Baiyun Village, almost every adult man in the rest of the village has an arsenal shovel in his hand, and the woman has an electric shock baton.
"That's pretty good."
Wang Chunmei was immediately envious, she had always heard that the Song family was very good, and she also felt that the Song family was very good during this time, but she didn't expect that the Song family would be so good on the way to exile.
This instantly made her feel at a loss, compared to these people, these families in Baiyun Village really gained a lot of benefits.
