Chapter 22 On the Road
After everything is loaded, the car is set up, and everyone is ready to hit the road.
Except for Liu Sanli, who was sitting in the car in front, the rest of the people were walking alongside.
Liu Sanli was embarrassed to do nothing, it just so happened that he would catch the car, and he didn't need his legs anyway, as long as he put his legs flat.
The wheels are made relatively wide, and there is a plank in front of it, just enough to put your legs on it, and a thick straw mat underneath, and everything in the back is tied, and you can also lean on it, so it is comfortable to sit there.
In this way, it is easy for everyone, except for the donkey, of course.
I slept all night last night, and I had enough to eat in the morning, and everyone was in good spirits, so I walked thirty or forty miles in one breath before stopping.
The trail is uneven, but it's wide. So it's not very strenuous to walk.
And there are not too many mountains here, not steep, and the forest is not very dense, which is quite safe.
It wasn't until noon that they came to a relatively flat place, found an open space and stopped, ready to make a fire here to cook.
Before lighting the fire, Yang Dashan said: "Let's not be busy lighting the fire first, I will go to the top of the mountain next to me with the bolt pillar to take a look, don't look back when cooking, the smoke rises to expose our position." ”
Tilt Yan stopped them and said, "Just let the ugly go, it can climb the tallest tree nearby, and it can see farther." ”
Their current location is in the middle of a mountain, too low-lying places with poor views, and too high places are easy to expose, so this location is actually the best.
Let the ugly go, first, it climbs trees neatly, and second, its eyesight looks farther, and it can see the surrounding two or three miles.
Where you can't see it too far, it doesn't matter if there's anyone or not.
After all, they didn't set fire to the mountain, or deliberately made wolf smoke, even if the smoke rose, it would soon disperse, and it would not be visible at all if it was far away.
When Ugly came back, they were still waiting, and they didn't take out the things, so they didn't have to worry about putting them back in the situation.
Seeing the ugly and shaking his head, he began to take it out.
They built two earthen stoves with rubble from the ground, set up pots and put water on them.
I also took out the straw fan, thinking that if it really didn't work, someone would use the fan to disperse the smoke, and it shouldn't be too much of a problem.
This place is good for everything else, flat and spacious with shade, the only drawback is that there is no water source.
If it weren't for the fact that there was a ditch where they used to live, they wouldn't have built four or five villages in a small area, just because water is more rare in other places.
Fortunately, before they left, they filled the empty crockpot and wooden barrel with water, and covered them with lids and tied them tightly, and just like that, a lot of bumps along the way were spilled.
It's still enough to eat and drink, so don't think about washing.
Qian Yan looked at the water that was scattered and half a bucket was left, thinking that water was also a problem.
There is water in the ugly space, and it not only collects a lot of fragrant spiritual spring water, but also stores a lot of drinks.
That's right, it's the drink.
This guy is greedy, and often secretly hides the drinks her parents bought back into his own space.
Later, when my mother found out, she bought a batch for it and asked it to put away and drink.
There are also cans made of fruit in the fragrant space, which are all machines that my father got back, bought glass bottles, and made them himself in the space.
There are no additives, and there is also spiritual spring water, not to mention the taste, and I am going to keep it for the family to eat, but this guy took half of it, and there are hundreds of bottles!
The problem is that when it reaches its space, the spiritual spring water is completely useless, even if it is sealed in a can.
The two guys, Ugly and Xiangxiang, are worthy of being old enemies, and it is really amazing to live and restrain each other.
Now the premise is that none of this can be taken out, at least the glass bottles and plastic buckets can't be explained.
Fortunately, Chouchou also brought back a piece of good news, and it said to Qian Yan: "When I was looking at the tree just now, the direction we were walking, there should be a water source in the distance, but I don't know if the water is clean or not, I can't see it clearly, and I saw a reflection in one piece." ”
As soon as she heard this, she was happy, as long as she had it, it was better than having no supplies along the way.
The men collected firewood and the women cooked, everyone worked together, but Orchid and Tilt Yan had nothing to do, just watching from the side.
Yang Dashan got some grass next to him and fed it to the donkey, but fortunately, there was no shortage of such things in summer.
It is better to let go of the donkey and let it eat by itself, but Liu Sanli is still sitting in the car, there are a lot of things on the car, and if you want to unload the donkey, you must have a shelf under the wheel, otherwise the thing is estimated to have to fall.
The trees on both sides were straight, and there were no crooked-neck trees or giant stones. It can only continue to be mounted on the donkey.
More than a dozen people eat, to be honest, still have to be made for a while.
The main reason is that they don't have stone grinding noodles, otherwise they can make dry food in advance, which will save a lot of trouble.
It's just that it's hot, and you can make a day's supply, and if you can't finish eating, it will spoil.
But now I can only make do with it, and cook some wheat and vegetable paste.
The firewood they picked up was not dry, and it was not easy to burn at first sight.
Because of the summer, there was green everywhere, and it was hard to pick up a few dead branches, and it was still a little damp.
Even on the side of the road, in the shade of the trees, there is still a lot of moisture on the ground.
Everyone finally lit a fire, but suddenly smoked.
Liu Sanli couldn't help but say: "It's better to put a piece of coal stone in it, put the firewood aside and roast it for a while." ”
Yang Dashan's family slapped and said, "It's true, why did we forget that there are still coal!" It is estimated that one piece is enough for cooking, and when the firewood is dried up, we can still use it at night. ”
After striking the iron, there is still a lot of coal left, which can be used for cooking.
Not to mention that the smoke of that thing is small, it still burns for a long time, and when you leave, you just need to bury it with soil when it is extinguished.
And you can also reduce the weight of the donkey cart a little, anyway, they go all the way south, it will only get hotter and hotter, and there is no winter to burn to keep warm.
For them, it's better to use it now, if they encounter any towns in the future, there is still danger, after all, civilians can't have this thing, it has to be reported.
Although Liu Sanli was originally working in the coal kiln, but now there is no one in the coal kiln, and it is useless to say it, plus the world is so chaotic now, they don't count what they say, people will deduct a crime for you casually, and it is estimated that all this belongings will be put into it.
Even if anyone is likely to be caught, they may not be able to get out of the way......
