There was a deep ditch below the slope where they were now, and if it was in the rainy south, there would have been water in it, but there was no such thing, and there were weeds quite deep underneath.

On the opposite side is also a relatively steep slope, and after going uphill is a large wasteland, which does not seem to be dense with weeds, indicating that the soil on the ground is not fertile at all, and even the grass does not grow well.

That kind of land is either heavy in salt or gravel.

Fortunately, they had fetched enough water in the waterhole before, and filled all the wooden pots and barrels and clay pots, and when they walked this way, they didn't go very fast, but they didn't spill much, so it was not a problem to cook a few meals.

Usually when there is no water nearby, they will not wash anymore. After all, there are nearly 20 people now, and it takes a lot of water just to wash your hands.

Of course, the hands still have to be washed, harvesting wheat and rubbing wheat or something, there is a lot of ash on the hands, and a basin of water is basically enough for everyone to use in turn.

The women who cook first wash their hands before cooking, and finally the men who come back from harvesting the wheat.

It's a little uncomfortable not to take a bath, and the wheat mangs on the ears of wheat are weirdly itchy on the body, especially when it's hot and sweaty, it's even more uncomfortable.

Qian Yan really wanted to find a place to take a shower, but there was no chance, everyone had to go to the toilet together, and there was no chance to walk alone.

Others are okay, they should be more used to it.

After all, it is in the wilderness, and even if there are no wild beasts here, there will be snakes, insects, rats and ants.

Not to mention, when Li Hao and Wang Gan went to their convenience after dinner at night, they really caught a snake, which was a non-poisonous vegetable snake.

When they brought it back, everyone present saw that there was no one who was afraid, even the eldest sister and brother were also excited, in their eyes, the snake was equal to meat, and there was nothing to be afraid of, and their father and mother also brought it back to add food to them.

Li Hao and the others also brought back another piece of news, and found a cave at the bottom of the slope, which seemed to have been dug by people.

"The reason why we just found this snake was because a gray rabbit ran past us, and we were chasing it, but it was too dark, and the rabbit was very similar in color to the ground, and it disappeared after a while.

Then they saw a reflection on the ground, and it was a small piece of gold, and then they found the hole, and the snake at the mouth of the hole, and they did not have torches, so they had to come back first.

The moonlight is good today, so even if it's already dark, the light is still okay.

When everyone heard that there was gold, they were very excited, it was gold, and when they came across the town, they could use it to buy food!

So Yang Dashan took three men and Li Hao to the cave with torches.

The rest of the people were waiting in place, also excited.

"If there is a lot of gold in it, we will have a better time in the future."

"Yes, yes, you can buy a lot of food, and when you get to a safe city, you can settle down......"

"We'll still be living together and taking care of each other......"

“……”

Qian Yan listened to their heated discussion, looked at the moon and counted the days, now it should be almost the ninth and tenth days of the lunar calendar, the day she came over was exactly June 15, and now it has been almost twenty days.

In a few days, it will be July 15, and she should go back, and I don't know if she can go to Handcheng in these days.

If it is safe there, settle the people in Yangjiaping, and by the way, she can also see what this ancient city looks like.

This is all the way down, except in the deep mountains, it is this kind of remote small village, compared with the poor areas of later generations, except that the conditions are more backward, there is really not much difference.

Thinking of this, Qian Yan sighed and said to the ugly ugly in her arms: "Go back and ask the passing birds, how far is it from the nearest city here?" I don't know if we can see it or not. ”

The ugly ugly who was enjoying the comfort of Tintyan on his stomach turned over, squeezed the little leopard to the side, and turned his face to Tendsun.

"I have already asked, and at noon when you were harvesting the wheat, I asked a swallow passing by, and there is a great road to walk through this wasteland.

After walking along the road for almost a day, there was a city with many people in it, and what kind of city it was, the swallow did not know, after all, it was illiterate.

However, according to what Yang Dashan said before, it should be Hancheng, and the city walls and gates that can be built in this era are generally some big cities, and some small towns are basically denser houses, and they will not build city walls. ”

Tilt Yan helped the little leopard who almost fell and put it inside, and the ugly of the province squeezed it again.

"That's good, at least there's hope."

Thinking of something, Qian Yan said again: "Did the swallow say that when you flew this way, did you meet a crowd like us?" ”

The ugly ugly replied: "It's true, the swallow said that I have met several waves of people like us on the road, but they are all on the main road, and they should all be people who fled south to avoid the Khitans, and if we mix in the fleeing crowd, it should be inconspicuous." ”

Qian Yan nodded, that's right, I'm afraid that there are no fugitives like them on the road, in that case, it will be more eye-catching, and everyone is on the same road, not to mention taking care of each other, as long as they don't go far, at least they can deter some people who want to do bad things, and it can be regarded as an indirect mutual care.
