This tributary is called the Hulu River, and the stone bridge above it is called the Bluestone Bridge.

Seeing this bluestone bridge, Qian Yan thought of Yin Keqin and several other families who came out to move the grave a few days ago.

She and Chouchou both remembered that they were going to come out in seven days, and they had been watching them with their minds for the past two days, and although they didn't come out to meet them, they still kept an eye on their movements.

On the afternoon of the seventh day, they came to the county seat in an ox-cart.

The coffin I bought in Qingfeng Town before should not be enough, it is estimated that it is the reason for the material, after all, the wood used in this coffin is specific, and they want so much at once, even if the labor is no problem, the material may not be enough.

This wood does not mean that it can be done directly after cutting down the tree, it generally has to be put for a period of time, at least for a year or two before the coffin can be made.

Because I didn't get it there, I finally went to the county seat to buy two ready-made coffins.

They did not stay in the city, but bought some dry food, and drove the ox cart out of the city, which was through this east gate.

Soon after leaving the city, Qian Yan's divine sense was out of reach, and her divine sense could only see within two or three miles, beyond which she could not see.

After that, the situation was described to her by Chouchou, who said that the four families did not go in one direction.

After passing two villages, Yin Keqin and Yin Kehong went to the mountains in the north, and the other two families went to a village in the south and continued east.

Interestingly, although the people who escaped back then had all passed the county seat, none of them had crossed the bridge, and the farthest was more than 100 meters away from this bridge.

It's as if the bridge is a boundary point that cannot be crossed, but can only die on this side of the bridge.

Those people didn't know how to escape, they had to go to the trails in the wilderness, otherwise they wouldn't have died either from wolves or bandits.

Also, I don't know what those bandits think, so many villages don't come to loot, but they go to rob passers-by who don't have much money, it is estimated that it has something to do with Yin Jin's contract with their ancestors.

The one more than 100 meters away from the river was buried in the wasteland by the roadside, and you can see the new soil dug out on the road.

As for why it is buried here, there is no way, after all, it is not a person in someone's village, and it can't be buried in someone's grave if it dies, and it is buried by the official on behalf of the official, so don't think about it if you want to find any feng shui treasure, it's good to have a place to bury bones.

The carriage soon walked to the stone bridge, which looked quite old, the stone slabs on it had been polished smooth, and the patterns on the railing were almost smoothed, which should be the reason for the wind and rain and the people coming and going.

At the head of the bridge is a pair of stone lions, the beast heads on it are biased, it must be that people often help when they go on the bridge, and after many years of coming down, they are touched by the head of the deviation.

The stone bridge is quite wide enough to accommodate two carriages in parallel.

Qian Yan couldn't help but sigh again at the wisdom of the ancients, although the water surface of the gourd river is not very wide, it is more than ten meters, and a stone bridge is so firm, it is very rare that it has not collapsed for so many years.

The carriage is also very stable on the stone bridge, not at all like some bridges in later generations, if you take the big car, it will flicker and shake, which makes people feel very insecure.

After crossing the bridge, he walked less than two miles before he went out of the boundary of Yunling County.

Because she was not far from the bridge, she saw a boundary stone, which was engraved with the three big characters of Hongfeng County, indicating that this was the boundary of another county.

I don't know how the name Hongfeng County came about, it can't be a red peak.

Asked the ugly and ugly: "How far is Hongfeng County from here?" Is it also on this official road? ”

Chouchou looked at it with his divine sense and replied: "If you go from here to Hongfeng County, you have to walk more than thirty miles southeast along the official road, and that county is smaller than Yunling County."

The boundary of Yunling County is mainly in the northwest, and more than 30 miles here belong to Hongfeng County, and after the county seat, there is only three or four miles left in the southeast to be the boundary of another county.

From our point of view, there are still two county towns separated by the prefecture, and there are only a hundred and ten. ”

Qian Yan nodded, "It's not early now, let's go ahead and find a place to rest." ”

Anyway, I don't plan to enter the county inn, and I won't stay in the village, and I bought a lot of things before, and I'm not in a hurry to go to the county seat to replenish supplies, so I can walk slowly.

After coming out of the county seat, the carriage kept going fast, and she was watching the scenery while walking.

In addition, it was almost noon when they went out, so they had only walked more than ten miles this afternoon, and they were still more than twenty miles away from Hongfeng County.

Seeing that it was already more than seven o'clock in the evening, I used my divine sense to find a relatively flat open space in a relatively desolate place on the side of the road.

The open space was on the north side of the road, more than a mile away from the official road, because the road in the past was particularly uneven, so they did not drive the carriage over, but directly unloaded the carriage and put it into the space.

At least it's more comfortable than sitting in a car, and it's faster.

If it weren't for the divine sense, that place would not have been visible on the official road at all.

Because there are a lot of trees and hay in the middle, and the terrain is lower than this side, not to mention at night, and you can't see it during the day.

It is just right to put the wooden house in this kind of place, and it should not be placed on the side of the road, after all, this is an official road, and there are still pedestrians and vehicles coming and going.

At that time, people will stop and take a look curiously, in case there is something that comes to the door to beg for saliva and drink, it is also very troublesome, it is better to stay away and try not to be disturbed.

I picked a place next to a rock, and there were two trees in front of and behind to let the wooden house out, so that it could block some wind.

The wind and sand here are very big, but fortunately they are all going to the southeast, and the northwest wind is blowing, which happens to follow the wind, which is not uncomfortable.

But that's it, as long as there is no one on the road, she will get into the car and let the bear go forward by himself.

She had been sitting outside for hours, and her face was dry, and if she hadn't made a cloth and covered her face and made a makeshift scarf, it felt like her face would have been blown cracked.

In the past few days, she has to apply a lot of lipstick every day, she only brought that tube of lipstick, and it was half down, what should she do if she didn't have it after she was worried? There was no place to sell lipstick in ancient times.

By the time the wooden house was finished, it was almost dark, and although it was gray and could still see clearly, it was already relatively dim.

In fact, this wooden house is quite conspicuous, after all, it is newly built, and the wood is all new and lighter in color.

If you put it in a conspicuous place, you can see it at a glance.

Tilt Yan had thought about whether to smear it with a layer of yellow mud and disguise it as an adobe house, so that it would be inconspicuous.

But ugly and ugly are not happy, this always has to be received in the space, if it is smeared with yellow mud, it will definitely stain it in the space when the time comes.

Since he and Qianyan cleaned up the space, it also likes to be tidy now, unlike before, when things were piled up and put in a regular manner.

Since the ugly ugly said so, Qian Yan had no choice but to give up, anyway, just stay for one night and put it away early the next morning.

Because the outside is full of hay and branches, it is difficult to clean up, so the cooking is done directly in the wooden house with a charcoal stove.

I fried two dishes in a small pot, a fried lamb with green onions and a vegetarian radish slices, and the steamed rice and baked cakes before the staple food are available.

Qian Yan thought that when she went to the town or county seat in the future, she could go to see if there were any steamed buns for sale, and she could also buy more space for existence, she was too lazy to make staple food, mainly she didn't know how to cook steamed buns, she could buy ready-made, buy more, and save a lot of things.

Because it is a northwest wind, the side with the window faces south, and the chimney mouth faces east, so this direction is just when the window is opened when stir-frying, and the smoke will float out directly, so you don't have to worry about the smell of too much oil smoke in the house.

The bear also has its own "room", just to the left of the wooden house, where the master carpenter has made the eaves by an extra meter five, and below is a collapsible hoarding made of planks and hinges.

When you open it, you can enclose the bear inside, and you can keep warm by wrapping it around a mat or fur.

This is a temporary pony, or Qian Yan came up with it herself, originally wanted to make it directly into a suite, but Chou Chou said that the horse prefers to be outside, and it is not good to be too closed, so he thought of this method.

Not only can you see outside, but you won't get caught in the rain or snow.

Now just open the planks on both sides, and if it's colder, you can put an extra layer of mat or fur around it to keep warm.

The chimney of the stove is on this side, and there is a quick gap on it, so you don't have to worry about smoking it, anyway, its horse's head is on the other side, and the horse's butt is on this side.

As for eating grass and drinking water, it was a wooden shelf with a stone trough, which was a trough dug for by Chou Chou with a long stone.

Two pits were dug and the fodder was placed on the one side of the water, and the height was just below its mouth, so it was not difficult to eat.

Because the bear is now very humane, and it doesn't need to be tethered, as long as it is told that it will not run around, so it has an exit that can be used to go out and walk around at any time, and go back when it sleeps.

This is the first time to use this wooden house in the wild, although I tried it when I was in the yard before, and it was no problem to sleep or something, but it was the first time in the wild, and I thought it was quite fresh and fun.

After eating, the smell was dispersed for a while, so I closed the window, and then closed the curtain inside, because there was a plastic sheet on the window, and the wind disappeared immediately after closing the window, and then the curtain was closed, and the outside could not see the inside at all.

The temperature inside this room should be in the twenties, neither hot nor cold.

Dump Yan filled the copper kettle she bought before with water and put it on the stove, boiling water while heating.

Wait for the water to boil for a while for washing, and if it boils, you can also make tea and drink, killing two birds with one stone.

There is no oil lamp for the lighting in the house, which is used for emergency use when there are outsiders, and the smoke is not bright yet, and now there are no outsiders, so it is directly illuminated by that small piece of spirit stone.

The spirit stone was still placed in the glass bottle, directly on the table on the side, the light was bright and soft, and the things in the room could be seen clearly and not dazzling.

It is shielded by curtains, so the light does not leak through the window to the outside.

The curtain before was not good, and the flower silk cloth I bought at that time just thought it was good-looking, smooth and beautiful, just like the kind of custom curtains used in later generations.

She also specializes in making a longer one, although it does not hang down to the ground, there are most of it, and it feels really good-looking, but the light transmission is too strong, and it is easy to penetrate if there is light in the room.

So Tilt Yan added an extra layer of thick cotton cloth to it, to be precise, two layers, a layer of coarse cloth, a layer of cotton cloth, and then sewn together, plus this layer of flower satin on the outside, it looks good on the outside, and it is not transparent on the inside, so there is no delay.

After the water in the kettle boiled, Tilt Yan cleaned up with a wooden basin, mixed it with warm water, washed her hands and face, brushed her teeth, and then changed the basin and soaked her feet in slightly hot water.

Although I drove the carriage and didn't walk all the way, after all, I wore shoes and socks on this day, and I still soaked my feet comfortably after wearing them all day.

Especially in the current weather, the whole body is warm after soaking, and it is most comfortable to go to bed again.

After washing, he put away the basin and kettle, added a few pieces of charcoal to the stove, and sealed the air outlet below with a patch, leaving a loss of mouth, and then the chimney was fastened, so that it burned slowly, and the temperature could be maintained until midnight.

picked up the spirit stone lamp and went to bed, took off the outer cotton jacket, and lay on the bed wearing the inner jacket, and stuffed the spirit stone bottle directly into the satchel next to the pillow, and the room fell into darkness in an instant.

Before she washed, the money who warmed the quilt crawled out of the quilt and lay directly next to the pillow.

She yawned, and now all she could do in the room was the crackling of the coals burning, and the whining of the wind outside.

"It's much better than resting in a carriage, it's like being at home, it's not much of a difference."

Ugly nodded, "Of course, one is a narrow carriage and the other is a small house, and the difference is bigger." ”

I don't know if I have money or not, I have become an orange cat, and I actually have the habits of a cat.

Although I also liked to sleep next to her before, I either pressed on the quilt or burrowed into the quilt, but now I like to sleep next to the pillow and curl up directly next to the pillow.

It's really similar to the habits of grandma's orange cat.

Tilting over and placing a hand on its furry body, the soft touch she couldn't help but rub it.

Rich rolled over, flipped his belly out, and snorted at her twice.

Tilting Yan smiled and scolded, it immediately snorted and stretched comfortably.

It's really becoming a kitten.
