Chapter Twenty-Three: Sleeping Rough
When they had finished eating, they covered the soot with earth to make sure it was completely extinguished, and swept the traces to make it less visible, and then they were back on the road.
Because Chou Chou could control the donkey, he didn't worry about taking the wrong path and went directly to the water source that Chou Chou had found before.
At that time, although the ugly and ugly could be seen, it was not close, and it was still the same sentence, sometimes it was really a dead horse running from the mountain.
They didn't get to the water source until it was completely dark.
When it was just getting dark, the men began to prepare to find a place to camp and rest.
After all, the mountains are still very dangerous at night, and it is very inconvenient to find a place to camp in advance and wait until it gets dark.
It's just that Liu Sanli, who was driving the car, couldn't stop the donkey cart at all, so they had to continue walking forward for a while.
It just so happened that the road they were walking was very narrow, and there was really no place to camp.
When they arrived at the water source, everyone couldn't help but rejoice, thinking that sure enough, the donkey was like the chickens, ducks and dogs at home, and would find the water source by itself.
These animals are born to survive in this wilderness, unlike people, who can only be found when they see it. At.
Some animals can smell the moisture from a long distance and find it themselves.
Everyone gathered around and praised the donkey.
It was a pity that the donkey could not understand what they were saying, but when the orchid and some of the women had picked a bunch of young grass for it, they did please it and bared their teeth at them.
made a few women laugh, "Hey, hey~ This donkey is really human, and it will grin when it is fed~"
……
Because it was summer, they didn't need to build any tents to keep them warm, they just slept on the ground.
There is very little rain here, and even if it rains, it will be very small and will pass in a while, so you don't have to worry about being rained in the middle of the night.
Of course, there are still a lot of mosquitoes.
During the meal, countless insects flew around the fire, and she ate carefully, for fear of accidentally eating it in her mouth.
When cooking at night, Qian Yan took out a few sticks of jerky and let them cook them in porridge.
After dinner, the meadow was spread on the ground and covered with futon to rest, and the men slept together and the women slept together.
However, the villagers living in the mountains still have their own wisdom.
They made a kind of grass that they didn't know, and threw it into the fire, and the fire smoked thickly, but the smoke was not smoky, but there was a smell of grass.
After a while, Qian Yan noticed that there were significantly fewer mosquitoes around them.
It seems that this grass has the effect of repelling mosquitoes, which is really good.
After carefully recalling the shape of the grass, she had to remember that if she had to go out into the wild, she would still be able to use it.
This knowledge is the accumulation of the life experience of working people.
The women consciously put Tilt Yan and Orchid in the middle to sleep, and then slept three people on one side.
Although Qian Yan felt that the meadow on the ground was very awkward, and the straw quilt on her body was not very comfortable, she still felt warm in her heart.
They know that their force value is high, and they can protect them better outside, and they subconsciously treat themselves as children and protect them in the middle, so they feel that there are still many kind people.
Ugly Chou slept right between her and the orchid, and now he was on all sides.
In fact, Chouchou usually doesn't sleep much, and after coming here, he doesn't know what's going on, and he sleeps very deeply at night, and he doesn't wake up if he doesn't wake up.
After the fire was slowly extinguished, although there was no wind, the smoke from before slowly dissipated, and the mosquitoes began to increase again.
Tilt Yan was woken up by mosquitoes in the middle of the night, but fortunately, she is the kind of physique that doesn't attract mosquitoes very much.
This should be with her father, unlike her mother and her brother, which is called a mosquito to like, as long as there are mosquitoes, they will be bitten in a bag, and rubbing mosquito repellent can be used for a while.
However, the buzzing sound is also noisy.
Qian Yan opened her eyes, but she didn't get up.
After all, they were covered with a quilt together, and if she got up, the quilt would be lifted, and it would not only make a movement but also make a sound.
It's just that in the dead of night, she heard the sound of rustling.
Qian Yan tensed up instantly, it can't be a snake or something!
After all, it's in the wilderness, and it's entirely possible.
And the sound didn't look like a beast, if it was the leopard they talked about before, that guy was as nimble as a cat, and it was estimated that she couldn't hear the sound.
