The next morning, before they got up, they heard a commotion outside.

Qian Yan was woken up, opened her eyes and listened carefully, it was the convoy behind them coming, I heard that there was no place to live, and was discussing in the lobby downstairs whether to continue walking or turning back.

The snow hasn't stopped, and now the snow outside is thicker and almost knee-high.

If you go forward, you don't know if the snow will get deeper and deeper, but if you turn back, you don't know how long you will have to wait.

After all, the weather will only get colder and colder, and even if the snow stops, the snow will not melt much, and it will be impossible to walk into ice.

So the people below were divided into two factions and argued.

Qian Yan took out her watch and looked at it, it turned out that it was half past eight, and it was gloomy on a snowy day, and she thought it was six or seven o'clock.

simply got up, cleaned up the child, washed up again, and went out to Chen Shijin's room next door.

She heard the voices in their room, and the Fang family's father and son were already inside.

He held the child in one hand and knocked twice on the door with the other freehand, and waited for the person inside to answer before pushing the door in.

After a glance, only Uncle Gui was not there, he should have gone down to get breakfast, now there are too many people in the lobby, and he must not be able to have breakfast below, he should be ready to eat in the room.

In fact, they ate in the room last night, anyway, it was noodles, just a bowl of things, it was very convenient to eat in their own room.

There are a lot of people living in this inn, especially those who live in the Chase Bunk and the inferior room, it is not convenient to eat in the house, and they can only eat in the lobby, so the people in the upper room and the middle room eat directly in the house.

It's just that there aren't many guys in the inn, and most of them go down to bring the food by themselves, otherwise they won't be able to eat for an hour or two.

Qian Yan greeted a few people, put the child on the couch on the side, and Yuan Bao also jumped up directly, just let the two of them play by themselves.

He spoke again: "There are so many people downstairs, this inn can't live, it's not good to say that they will follow us forward, what we can think of, others must be able to imagine, this snow has been non-stop, the more you wait here, the more difficult it is to walk." ”

Fang Zhengyi nodded in agreement, "Indeed, even if there is no snow after the past distance ahead, but this is the only way to go, the snow here is too thick to seal the road, and it is impossible to hurry, it is better to leave quickly while the snow is not so thick." ”

Enlarged You and Chen Shijin said: "I'll go to the carpenter's shop with you in a while, and install the sled board as soon as possible, so let's get on the road early." ”

Chen Shijin nodded yes, "By the way, go buy a small pot and a small copper kettle, the charcoal stove is so dry and it is always a waste, and it is convenient to drink it on the way to boil water and make porridge." ”

They used to bring relatively large ones, which were okay on the fire outside, but they couldn't be used in the carriage.

Enlarged Youye said: "Then I will also buy a copper kettle, before we used to use a clay pot to boil water, or a copper kettle is more convenient." ”

When Uncle Gui came up with the food box, they gathered here to eat together, and then the three of them went out, and Fang Zhengyi stayed.

Qian Yan had been listening to the following movements before, and when she heard that those people finally decided to continue on her way, she didn't pay any more attention.

It is estimated that the other party will set off before them, and it will take a little time for them to install the sleds, and those people have had breakfast here and are ready to leave.

Qian Yan looked at their car with her divine sense, and was a little worried in her heart, their car did not have a shed and was full of goods, and once they went to the wrong place, it was easy to fall into it.

In fact, it is best for her carriage to start with the head, with ugly and ugly guidance, she will definitely not go wrong, plus they press out rut marks, and the car behind is better to go.

It's just that she can't rashly run to people and say, you follow me, I know the way.

The man thought she had some conspiracy, and probably didn't dare to follow her.

She looked at the snow on the official road to the east again, it was heavier than this side, but the wind was lighter than yesterday, so it should be no problem to see the road, and it could only depend on the luck of those people.

It wasn't until after ten o'clock that the sled board was installed.

Originally, they were going to drive the carriage over there to install it, but then the carpenter's shop knew that there was a ready-made reference here, so they came directly with the wooden board to install it, and by the way, we saw how the two cars were fixed.

In fact, it is not troublesome to install the sled boards, and the time is mainly wasted on the things on the loading and unloading trucks, after all, they bought a lot of materials before, and the carriages are full inside and out, while the sled boards are installed under the car, and there is no way to get them without unloading them.

So it was a waste of an hour to unload and put things back on, and it was already past ten o'clock and almost eleven o'clock when it was done.

But at this time, the temperature is high, and it is just right to hurry, anyway, it is dozens of miles to Liquan County, and it is not far from Zhenxin.

Of course, this is a situation where there is no snow in normal times, and now that there is such a thick snow, the horses can't run, and there is a heavy load, it must take longer, so it should be able to arrive tonight, that is, it should be late at night or in the middle of the night.

By the time they were done on the road, the previous convoy had already left, and another convoy had arrived in the town, the same caravan that had taken the dart master before.

They were at the door of the inn to discuss what to do next, originally wanted to have lunch in the inn, knowing that now there were only noodles and no dishes, and finally they didn't even go in, and discussed directly on the way outside the inn.

Just when I couldn't make up my mind, I saw Qian Yan and them coming out of the car from the back of the inn, and the leader over there greeted him, looked at Qian Yan in front, and was embarrassed to step forward, so he went to Fang Zhengyi and them behind.

He saluted Fang Zhengyi with his fists in his fist, "This old brother, take the liberty of asking, are you going to continue on the road, or are you going to return to Yuexiu Town?" ”

Fang Zhengyi didn't hide it, and replied directly: "We are going to continue on the road, this snow can't stop for a while, it will only get heavier and heavier, and the snow will accumulate thicker and thicker, and then it will be even more impossible to go, so just take a gamble and set off directly, maybe it won't snow when we get out of this territory." ”

When the other party heard this, he also made up his mind, thanked Fang Zhengyi, and said to himself: "Brothers, let's go too, look at the rut marks, there should already be a convoy going forward, we don't need to wait here, and there is no place to live, it is estimated that it is enough to go back to Yuexiu Town, and when we come out, the people who come from behind will go in, and the room must be occupied, so it is better to leave directly." ”

The leaders all spoke, and the others had no objections, so they turned the car around directly, and drove the car to follow behind them.

Before leaving, it had been said that Tilt Yan was at the front, and the big bear knew that the road would not be wrong.

Along the way, in fact, Fang Zhengyi's father and son have also discovered the difference between Da Xiong, which is as special as Yuanbao, and it is indeed better to lead the way in front, at least the horses of the two of them are particularly obedient to Da Xiong.

So the current formation is, Qian Yan takes the lead, Chen Shijin is in the middle, and the father and son of the Fang family are broken.

Of course, it was not broken, because there was a caravan of more than a dozen carriages behind it.

The three cars in front of them had sled boards, and they walked on the snow like a fish in water, much more briskly than the wooden wheels.

The leader of the caravan that followed closely behind also saw the difference between their carriages this time, it was not obvious when it was on the mountain road before, after all, the snow was not deep at that time, and there were a lot of ruts in front of it, it was difficult to distinguish, now although there was a convoy in front of him, but there were two more traces in the middle It was still very obvious, and after a careful observation, he knew what was going on.

He thought it was a good idea, as there were two boards underneath that were held on the snow so that it would not sink easily, and the slide was certainly much faster than the wheels could roll.

However, even if they see it, they can't do it again, time doesn't allow, they have a fleet of more than a dozen cars, so when will it be changed, so they will follow other people's cars.

Although there is snow on both sides of the road, there are no big potholes and the like, you can still walk, but there is still a difference with the official road, follow the official road at least go in a good direction, because the villages in front are rarely leaning on the side of the road, basically both sides are either wasteland or crop land, it is easy to deviate.

And the ox convoy in front of them had obviously gone astray, because they gradually couldn't see the ruts, fortunately they didn't deviate far, and Qian Yan looked at them with her divine sense, and their rut marks were a few hundred meters away on the right, and the direction was correct, and they were walking parallel to them.

But obviously, it was much more difficult to walk over there, and the speed couldn't get up, because Qian Yan saw with her divine sense that those people were four or five miles away from them, and they were getting slower and slower, and they only needed to mention the speed estimate to catch up with them.

You must know that those people got on the road two hours earlier than them, and now they are only four or five miles behind, which shows how slow the speed is.

It was indeed quickly caught up by them, and they walked to a parallel line in more than half an hour.

Of course, it can't be said to be catching up, because those people stopped and didn't continue at all.

At a distance of a few hundred meters, they could see it with the naked eye, and when they looked over there, it turned out that they had encountered a depression, and they realized that they had taken the wrong path.

Apparently the other party also spotted their side, and Tilt Yan slowed down the car, and was thinking about whether to help out, when the convoy was already coming sideways in this direction.

Looking at the look of finding the organization on a rampage, he quickly asked Chou Chou to look under the snow with his divine sense, fortunately this is a wasteland, the bottom is quite flat, at most there are some small ravines, there is no danger of overturning with snow on it.

Otherwise, the car is full of goods, and it will be troublesome if it overturns.

In this case, Qian Yan didn't stop, and directly resumed her original speed and walked forward, and when the convoy came over, she just fell behind the caravan.

She could still hear them from afar: "I knew we wouldn't leave early, how good it would be to follow people, we are not familiar with the road here." ”

"yes, I'll just say wait and see, someone will leave too, and you have to listen." Another person also said.

"Yes, yes, okay, stop complaining, you're freezing to death this day, you still have the strength to speak, hurry up and cover your face, let's follow the front and don't fall behind."

They had been groping around little by little, but they couldn't get up fast if they wanted to, so they had just come here in two hours.

The next journey is relatively smooth, there is a tilt in front to lead the way, the people behind can follow the wheel print, the white light is very good, there is no wind and does not affect the sight, and soon arrived at the next town, Dayang Town.

However, they didn't go in, and they didn't stay, because Dayang Town and Shitan Town were about the same, not big, and they knew that they couldn't accommodate so many of them, and besides, it was still early, so it was better to hurry more.

Dayang Town is next to the official road, and someone saw them passing by so many cars, and came out to inquire, knowing that they were going to brave the snow to hurry, so they ran back.

It didn't take long for three cars to come out, they should have been trapped here before, and when they saw their long convoy, they thought about going along.

When there are more people, it is really courageous, and even if they don't take care of each other, it makes people feel safe.

What came out were two horse-drawn carts and an ox-cart, which should have been three families respectively, and they also fell directly behind their convoy.

After passing Dayang Town, the snow became thicker, and Tsui Yan knew from Chouchou's mouth that this was the thickest snow in the snow range, and it was also the most severely affected place.

Almost all the roads out of the surrounding villages were blocked by snow, not to mention the heavy snow that sealed the doors and windows, and the slightly lower positions were even buried by the snow.

Fortunately, the people in those villages are still united, and they dug them out, not to mention, and gathered in some houses with better conditions, or ancestral halls.

Generally speaking, ancestral halls will be built on relatively high ground, and the house and courtyard are relatively large, so it is at least safe for people to gather inside.

Seeing them huddled together to keep warm, she didn't have to worry about freezing to death, but there was not much food, she thought about it and said to Chouchou: "Chouchou, can you use your divine sense to dig out the grain from the most severely affected villages for them?" ”

Those people may have left their homes before they were buried, thinking they would be able to go back later, but the snow was so deep that it was filled in and white, and they couldn't find where their homes were.

Therefore, if there is food at home, especially in the cellar, there is no time to bring it out, and it will definitely not work like this.

Ugly said that there is no problem, this little thing will be done in minutes.

Use your divine sense to help them dig up all their own food and pile them directly in the ancestral hall or the courtyard where people gather.

As for whether some of the grain is deliberately hidden, then it doesn't matter, at this time, it is the right thing to help each other in the same boat.

For those who see food appear out of thin air, it is really shocking, even if the ancients believed in ghosts and gods, there is still a difference between imagining and seeing with their own eyes, it is really shocking.

Everyone was first taken aback, then excited, and then began to kowtow to their ancestors' tablets!
