Chapter 12 Convoys
Speaking of which, they are also quite curious about Miss Xue, an ugly monkey, who looks really ugly.
The face is a monkey's face, but it is more wrinkled than the monkey's face, not to mention the big hands and feet, and a white hair on the top, which is not a good color in their tradition.
Even if you have a cat or a dog, you have to cut off the tip of your white tail, for fear of disturbing the owner.
However, this monkey is really powerful, looking small, it can kill more than a dozen big Khitan people with its bare hands before, and I saw that this was raised by Miss Xue's family for self-defense.
So now that they see it coming, they have a lot of security.
By this time the sound of the horses' hooves was very close, for they were lying on the ground, as if they were close to their ears.
Several people didn't dare to breathe, trying to press their bodies to the lowest level, eager to melt into the soil.
Qian Yan once again regretted that she had no divine sense, otherwise she could have investigated directly.
Chouhou was not afraid at all, and stepped directly on Tianyan's shoulder, holding her head to look out.
With its height, this position is just right to expose its eyes to the outside of the ears of wheat.
Tilt Yan reached back, about to press it down, and at the same time said to it, "What are you doing?" Don't you know how conspicuous your white hair is? Dare to go out! ”
The ugly chou broke free as soon as he twisted around, patted her on the head, and replied, "Am I so stupid? I'm carrying a handful of ears of wheat. ”
Dumping Yan moved, why didn't she think of it!
Stretched out his hand and touched the side, and sure enough, there was wheat pulled by the three villagers.
Pick up a handful with your hand, hold the ears of wheat upward, and slowly poke out a little bit.
Because of her getting up, the ugly ugly had already come down from her, and her height was a little insufficient, so she could only hold her shoulder with one hand and look out on tiptoe.
One person and one beast have good eyesight, plus the other party is holding a torch, you can clearly see that it is a convoy.
There were two riders in front, five chariots in the middle, and two riders in the back, which were supposed to be escorts in front and rear.
The cart was full of stuff, covered with thick straw mats, and it was impossible to see what was inside.
But at this speed, it shouldn't be a fragile product, and that thing can't withstand this kind of bump.
I didn't see it until I got closer, because I couldn't see my height when I was sitting on a horse, and judging from the clothes on my body, it shouldn't be a Khitan, but it was very similar to the clothes on those corpses I saw yesterday.
Qian Yan's eyes rolled, these can't be those soldiers, right?
The carriage was ...... Is it grain and grass that is pulling?
Could it be the rear supply of the two teams from before?
However, it seems that the two sides are not here to guard the people, and the war with the Khitans should be for the sake of fighting for the right to speak.
Because they were dressed similarly, only the cloth on their heads, presumably in different colors for distinguishing.
Qian Yan looked at the few people who were trembling beside her, sighed, and dispelled the thoughts in her heart.
If she is alone, she can also try to grab a carriage to come over, so that she will have a means of transportation and food.
But now there are so many people around, if they fail, it will affect them, and if they can't say that they will die, forget it.
Thinking that she would have to walk hundreds or even thousands of miles on two legs in the future, she felt soreness in her legs now.
And the most important thing is that she is not good at wearing sneakers on her feet, and if she meets a living person, it will definitely be eye-catching.
But the straw sandals worn by these villagers, her feet hurt when she thought about it, and as for those that were taken off the feet of the Khitans, forget it, she couldn't stand the smell, it was too big, and it was estimated that she was more tired to walk.
Thinking wildly, the convoy walked over, listening to the sound of wheels and horses' hooves fading away, and there was no need to worry about it.
"Get up, it's okay, let's get back to work."
Qian Yan stood up, patted the soil and wheat straw on her body, and turned back to the few people who were still lying on the ground.
A few people first carefully raised their upper bodies, looked out, and saw that there was really nothing, so they stood up, but they didn't know if they were too violent or deflated, and they almost fell back on their stomachs.
"Squeak squeak~" Ugly was amused, and it was not easy to make a human voice, so he had to learn the laughter of monkeys.
Tilt Yan scooped it into her arms and rubbed its head, but didn't say anything.
The ugly ugly smiled like this, but he didn't laugh at the tense atmosphere just now.
Grandma Orchid and the other three villagers slowly stood up and smiled embarrassedly.
"I'll go over and see how the orchid is going first, I guess I'm scared."
Qian Yan also stood up, "I'll go with you, otherwise we can all get together and work, and it is estimated that the sky will be dawn in another hour, let's hurry up and collect as much as we can." ”
The field is on the side of the road, and it is still a little dangerous, especially when a convoy has just passed, and there may be people passing by at any time.
Grandma Orchid and the three villagers all nodded, if they thought like this, if they came again, they would probably have no heart to harvest food.
The five men and one beast first headed towards the west, preparing to call the people from the west to go to the middle together.
Standing and walking, if someone can still see it, someone asked out loud as soon as he arrived nearby.
"Who's coming?"
Grandma Orchid replied: "Sister-in-law Dashan, it's us, let's come over and call you to go over to the middle side together, there is not much time, just collect it together." ”
As soon as Yang Dashan's wife heard this familiar voice, she put her mind at ease, although she knew that it should be her acquaintance, but she was afraid that there would be an eventuality.
He turned back to the other two old ladies and said, "It's Orchid's grandmother, tell us to go over to the middle, what's the matter?" Stand up, don't you? ”
Because there was a canal on the west side, which could be filled with water from a river pit not far away, the ground on the west side was softer and easier to pull, so the three women were allowed to come.
At this time, they had already walked to the front, and when they saw a person sitting on the ground, they hurriedly asked what was going on.
Dashan's wife said: "Hey~ Don't mention it, didn't you just startle?" When he got up, the Dawang family didn't pay attention, and stepped on the ankle of the Erzhuang family......"
Qian Yan walked over and squatted down, reached out and pinched Erzhuang's ankle, "Can you move?" Try to turn your feet. ”
The second Zhuang family turned around obediently, "It's okay, it doesn't hurt much anymore." ”
"It's okay, it hurt to step on it just now, it didn't hurt the bones, and after a while, the skin will be bruised and swollen at most, and it will be good to rub it."
After inspecting it, she stood up, took the bundle of wheat that had been bundled not far away, and carried a bundle of wheat in one hand and a bundle under her arm, and walked towards the east.
When the rest of the men saw this, the men took two bundles, and the women each took a bundle and followed behind.
At the same time, I sighed in my heart, this Xue girl is really strong!
They had a great deal of tied, for the wheat on the west side was easy to pull, and they plucked a great deal, and as soon as they were ready to carry it over, the convoy came.
Now it's just right, we can get it together.
