It's just that the imagination is beautiful, but there are still some gaps in reality.

The first time Jin Yang did this with its own flame, the first time it was not controlled properly, and it burned the wood directly to ashes, and the second time it was better, it was burned into charcoal......

It wasn't until the third time that I got the heat right, and only the wood was dried.

Fortunately, there are many trees in the space, there is no shortage of wood, and they don't cut it very well, otherwise they would be distressed.

When the material is solved, it will be made, and this will test their craftsmanship.

I had already bought tools in the city before, and there were also toolboxes for Dump Yan's father on the off-road vehicles, such as saws, hammers, pliers, etc., which were better used in later generations.

Once they had everything ready, they began to make it according to the carriage of the first carriage, which they had bought a little wider than the other, and could have made it a little bigger.

There are no cabinets on both sides of this one, just carry a box behind the carriage and put things, anyway, it's just a cover.

I don't put a stove either, just have one car, and if there is someone at that time, you can heat rice and boil water on it, and there is no need to have both cars.

In this way, the inside of the carriage is much more spacious, and it is no problem to sleep three people side by side, of course, it will be squeezed a little, it will not be very spacious.

In this way, if it is inconvenient for them to enter the space and they want to sleep openly, the ugly three can sleep in that car, and there is no need to move here.

A few are considered to be division of labor, Chou Chou and Qian Yan are the main forces, and only they can work as carpenters.

Jin Yang is responsible for cleaning the burrs on the wood with flames, which is better than sandpaper.

Gold is used to help carry or hold the wood, as well as to hand over some tools that are needed.

The ingots are purely fun, looking around the ugly and ugly for a while, and turning behind Jin Yang for a while.

After two and a half days of rushing work, a car with almost the same appearance as the previous one was baked.

It's not that they can't innovate, it's that this kind of carriage is more suitable for long-distance travel, and it is delicate and practical without being eye-catching.

The front is extended out, which can block the horses in front, as long as it is not raining heavily and blowing strong winds, the horses will not be drenched by light rain and snow.

After finishing the carriage, Jin Yang and Chouchou looked outside the space, and the rain had almost stopped, leaving only a little drizzle.

This kind of weather is actually more annoying, it's not worth it to play an umbrella, and if you don't play it, your clothes will get wet.

Now that both cars are ready, they don't have to worry about the rain.

I didn't go out that day, and when I went on the road again, it was already the next morning.

They continued to walk southwest along the official road, passing by the big city, they went in to have a look, bought some things to replenish, and when they walked the mountain road, they went into the mountains to collect some small animals in the space to increase the diversity of species.

After walking for a few more days, they arrived at the edge of the Han River, not far in front of the city of Xiangzhou, and after passing the city of Xiangzhou, they either crossed the river by boat or detoured from the north.

If you take a detour, you will have to take a long detour, and in the end you have to find a place to cross the river, because they have to go to the south of the river.

In this case, it is better to cross the river from here, which can save a long distance.

They drove directly into the city in a carriage, inquired about the time and place of the ferry, and knew that there was no more today, so they went to find an inn to stay.

Dinner was eaten in the lobby of the inn, and the dishes here were more than her appetite, and she ate two bowls of rice at once.

The ugly and ugly people didn't eat less, and they ate all the meals on the table, and when the guys came to clean up, they couldn't help but look at them several times.

The four of them ordered eight dishes and one soup, and each of them asked for two bowls of rice, which was not a lot.

The ingots didn't come out today, it is now proficient, and as soon as it enters the city, it will go back to the space, unwilling to attract eyes outside.

There's food in the space, so don't worry about it being hungry.

After eating they went back to their rooms to rest, and there was a boat tomorrow morning, so they went to bed early to-day, and got up early to-morrow, and they still had time to wander around the city.

In the middle of the night, they were woken up by the sound of gongs outside.

Qian Yan glanced at her watch, it was just 2:20 in the middle of the night.

The gong continued to sound outside, from near to far, and then from far to near.

Someone was shouting, and Qian Yan listened carefully, it was the mountain bandits attacking!

Although this city is not how big it is, it is not small, and there are garrisons in the city, and I don't know which mountain bandits dare to come to the city to loot!

Soon I heard that there was a noise in the inn, and it was supposed that the guests had been woken up and walked out into the hallway.

As she dressed, she leaned outside with her senses.

I saw that on the main street of the city, there were many middle-aged men holding kitchen knives and sticks at home, and there were officials of the government in front of them, who were heading in the direction of the west city gate.

It seems to be quite disciplined, this kind of thing should not happen once or twice, otherwise these people would not have reacted so quickly.

She looked outside through the West City Gate, only to see that there were many strong men densely surrounded outside!

Some are riding horses, some are on foot, and there are several carriages and ox carts behind, which have been loaded with a lot of things, which look very miscellaneous, mostly some valuable, gold, silver and jade ornaments, and a lot of silk and satin.

Qian Yan frowned, and looked her mind farther away, and could only see a village not far from the city, which was full of weeping and wailing villagers, and the houses were in a mess, and some even the doors and windows were smashed.

The only thing that was fortunate was that there were no dead people, at most they were injured and fell to the ground, and they were being held and cried by their families.

The noise outside was getting louder and louder, and the sound in the inn was already chaotic.

Tilt Yan didn't open the door and go out, now the guests have packed their bags and run to the lobby to check out, and some guests are ready to leave through the other city gates.

There are also many first-time visitors who are still in the circle, but the more savvy ones are ready to go with those people.

The innkeeper was not embarrassed, but asked everyone not to worry, and came to check out one by one, and said that there were officers and soldiers guarding the city outside, and the mountain bandits could not come in.

Qian Yan looked at the situation outside the city with her divine sense, as well as the sparse officers and soldiers inside the city and on the city walls, plus those middle-aged men in the city who volunteered to go, so that the number was equal to those mountain bandits.

The officers and soldiers in this Xiangzhou City are too few, and there are not even hundreds, of course, the other three city gates are also scattered, but that is too few.

I don't know what's going on.

"Dangdang~"

There was a knock at the door, and Qian Yan looked at it with her divine sense, it was the three of them.

Tilt stepped forward and pulled the latch out of the door and opened the door, "Come in." ”

After the three of them entered the house, they closed the door again, and the ugly ugly looked at Qianyan as usual, knowing that she was not frightened, so she was relieved.

"I've seen the situation outside, there are quite a few mountain bandits surrounding the city, and I have roughly counted them, there are as many as four or five hundred.

I don't know what's going on in this city, but there are only two or three hundred officers and soldiers defending the city, plus those who go to help, and the general will be on par with those mountain bandits.

But those mountain bandits look like they have experienced a hundred battles, and these people will not be opponents at all. ”

Jin Yang said what he had observed.

Qian Yan already knew, and of course Chou Chou had also probed, but Gold's divine sense couldn't see far, so he didn't know about it.

Hearing this, Jin Jin said with some uneasiness: "Could those people not be mountain bandits?" I have also encountered mountain bandits before, they all go to loot some villages and towns, and generally do not attack the city, after all, the city has defenders, not to mention, there are city walls to block, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

At that time, it was still a troubled time, many people could not survive and fell into the grass, and there were mountain bandits rampant in many places, but now that they have settled down, these mountain bandits do not know where they came from, and they have not been exterminated. ”

Qian Yan and Chou Chou glanced at each other, they were also wondering about this, at this time, the imperial court had settled down, and they had the strength to exterminate the bandits, but the mountain bandits here were still so rampant, it was indeed very abnormal.

At this time, the knock on the door sounded again, and the ugly asked a question, knowing that it was the guy from the inn, so he stepped forward to open the door.

"Guest officer, let me ask our shopkeeper, you have to check out and leave, now you can leave from the two city gates in the northeast, there are no mountain bandits on both sides."

Chou Chou shook his head, "No need, we are going to the southwest, just wait today to see what the situation is tomorrow, and then it's not too late to check out." ”

The man got a definite answer, and stooped down.

Tilt Yan: "The shopkeeper of this inn is quite good, and he took the initiative to inform us of the direction of leaving, won't we all leave, only we are left?" ”

As he spoke, he probed his senses, and sure enough, the entire inn was empty, except for the shopkeeper and his men, and they were all left.

Those people ran really fast, and after only a while, they had already left the room.

Jin Jin said suspiciously, "Shall we stay at the inn?" Don't go out and see? ”

Tilt Yan shook her head, "What are you doing out there?" The road outside is chaotic, many people are rushing to other city gates, to get out of the city, let's not go, wouldn't it arouse suspicion to wander outside. ”

Gold thinks about it, anyway, in addition to it in their industry, the three of them can directly see the situation outside the city when their divine sense is released, and it is the same everywhere.

They sat around the table of the Eight Immortals in the Tilting House, taking out some dried meat, snacks and fruits to eat at night, while observing the situation outside the city.

Jin Yang knew that gold could not be seen, and described it to him from time to time.

Outside, there is now a confrontation, the mountain bandits did not attack, and the officers and soldiers and civilians inside did not go out to fight, and it was quite calm.

The people in the city, except for some passing outsiders who left at night, the locals did not leave, except for a few prime of people who went to support the defense of the city, and everyone else was holding weapons and guarding at home.

However, although the expressions of the people were serious, they were not without fear and panic.

Chou Chou said that there are many more wealthy people who hide valuable things in the cellar, and the cellar mouth is quite hidden, so they should have been prepared.

It also "heard" a lot of people's talks, and learned that these mountain bandits had appeared in the past two years, and their base camp was in the nearby mountains.

The local government has already reported it, but the army sent from above to suppress the bandits will disappear, and they will appear again as soon as the army leaves.

In addition, these mountain bandits only robbed property and did not hurt people's lives, and if they did not resist fiercely, they would not even hurt people, so that the imperial court could not make up its mind to search the mountains and suppress the bandits.

There were also two sieges of this kind, the first time the city was defenseless, let them break in, the people in the city were frightened, but they didn't expect that they just robbed the shops on the main street and a few big families and left, and did not enter the homes of ordinary people.

The second time, they discovered their traces in advance, closed the city gate, and many young people went to the city gate to help guard them, and those mountain bandits turned around and left when they saw that they couldn't get in.

This is the third time, so the people in the city already have experience in dealing with them.

Qian Yan said with some doubts: "If this is the case, they should be the kind of mountain bandits who only rob money and do not hurt people, and they focus on patronizing rich families."

But I just used my mind to look at a village on the south side of the city, and the houses in that village were looted, and many people were injured. ”

Chou Chou and Jin Yang also probed their divine senses, looked at the situation over there, and frowned.

Jin Yang said: "There are people over there who have broken their legs, and some who have been injured in the head, not to mention that the food and money have been looted, and the doors and windows of the houses have been destroyed."

In this kind of weather, if the injured house can't shelter from the wind and rain, it is undoubtedly fatal. ”

Ugly Chou thought for a while before saying: "Something is wrong, I just looked at the faces of those people again, these people are different from what I just heard, many of them have human lives on their backs, if it is not a group of people, it is deliberate before." ”

Tilt Yan: "To paralyze the government? Or is it to paralyze the defenders of this city? , this city is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and now it is not a traffic artery, let alone a border city, you can completely bypass it when you go to other places, what do they want to do? What is the purpose? ”

Gold: "Could it be that they just want to enter this city?" Is this the city their purpose? Or maybe there's something in the city they're looking for. ”

Qian Yan frowned, "Didn't you say that the first time the bus came in, and they didn't get what they wanted at that time?" I just robbed the money and left, so why do you want to come again? ”

Chouhou: "I'll look under the ground of this city to see if there are any secret passages or treasure places or the like, and if there is, maybe that's what it's for." ”

Tilt Yan nodded, she was also suspicious of this, maybe those people knew some secrets or got some treasure map or something.

Of course, this probability is not very high, after all, there are many places that cannot be said.

If there is a treasure map or something, they can go into the city in batches in disguise, and it is much more convenient to quietly investigate than to make such a big fanfare, and it is impossible to do so.

It must be for other reasons, but as for what it is, it is necessary to study it carefully.

Chou Chou quickly finished exploring the area of the city, and said to them: "There are indeed tunnels in the city, but they have fallen into disrepair for a long time, many of them have collapsed and blocked, and some have no entrances and exits.

There are hidden treasures, all of which are in the courtyards of some large families, and they should be hidden by others, and the number is not very large, at least it is not worth such hard work. ”
