Chapter 42: Bones in the Mountains

The Gu family had been on the road for three days in a row, and along the way, almost all the villages they passed by were covered by heavy snow, and almost everyone fled.

But when they first came out, they almost didn't encounter people from the whole village like Dahe Village, Dakang Village, and Xiaokang Village.

At this moment, looking at the mountain in front of them, the Gu family was very excited, because after turning over this mountain, it was the county seat of Tongchuan.

"Mother, let's go to Tongchuan to rest for two days before we go?"

Gu Lao Er said with a flattering face, Li Wei glanced at Zhou Chunxiu and knew that he was a distressed daughter-in-law.

"Okay, let's rest for a few days when we get to Tongchuan."

"Also..."

Everyone cheered, as if they were about to arrive in Tongchuan County.

But the next moment, the smile froze at the corner of his mouth, this mountain, about two thousand meters, covered with snow, there is no road at all.

Li Wei asked the system to mark the roads that mountain people climb the mountain on weekdays, all of which are circling roads, going up in a circle around the periphery of the mountain, which has the advantage that the road is smooth and easier to walk.

But now with the heavy snow and the road surface is icy, it will be a disaster, because there is a cliff outside, and if you accidentally fall down, there are basically no bones left.

Li Wei suddenly had the feeling of taking the family to do extreme sports.

"Mother, why do I think this mountain road is not easy to walk?"

Gu Lao Er was a little scared, damn, don't talk about snowing, even this mountain road is not easy to walk.

"Why don't we see if there's another way?" Gu Boss period Ai Ai's suggestion arrived.

Li Wei sighed, if there is another way, won't she say it?

Looking at this little weak and weak, if she wants to climb this mountain, she is also panicking, okay?

But no matter how worried she is, she can't let everyone see that she is weak.

She has to play the role of the backbone.

"This is the only way, the road is not easy to walk, just go slower."

In the past few days, everyone has become accustomed to listening to Li Wei's orders, and when they saw her say this, everyone didn't say anything more.

"Boss, take the stick off and divide it for each person?"

Fortunately, Li Wei looked at the map and knew that she had to climb the mountain, so when she was on the road again, she asked Boss Gu to pay attention to the trees on both sides, and cut them down for backup when she saw a suitable one.

If you climb a mountain, it is naturally much safer to have a stick.

In fact, Li Wei wanted to get the trekking pole directly from the system, but it was a bit too eye-catching, so she gave up after thinking about it.

Trekking poles can be replaced with sticks.

But the shoes are not easy to do, the snow on the mountain is thick, and the cloth shoes are not slippery and wet, Li Wei is really nostalgic for hiking shoes.

But there will definitely be no such thing as mountaineering shoes in this era, and if you want to imitate one, the conditions will not allow it.

In the end, Li Wei thought of a way to put on a pair of straw sandals on the cloth shoe jacket, but fortunately, there were a lot of grass stacks along the way.

Li Wei asked Lin Dahong to compile a lot.

With the equipment ready, and then the children, it is definitely unrealistic to ride in an ox cart.

Li Wei asked the adults to tie the children to their backs, and the ox carts were used to carry food and luggage.

In order to reduce the burden of the cow, while everyone was not paying attention, Li Wei transferred all the things in the back basket to the system.

The eldest girl is already six years old, and she knows that her father will be very tired with her back, so she took the initiative to say that she would go by herself.

Li Wei thought about it and agreed.

"Then you must tell us when you are tired."

The eldest girl nodded fiercely, looking at the child's sensible appearance, Li Wei really had a heartbeat, this is still a toddler in modern times.

And now, I actually follow them to do extreme challenges.

"Okay, ready, let's go, remember, safety first, speed second."

There is no need for Li Wei to remind you, this road is steep and slippery, and everyone is very careful.

The crowd walked up the hill in a circle.

After walking for a long time, I haven't climbed to a third of the way.

Zhou Chunxiu is already tired. ”

"Mother, why don't we take a break before leaving?" Gu Lao Er also felt tired, and he was still carrying an iron egg.

Seeing that everyone was tired, Li Wei was thinking about it.

Yes... Zhou Chunxiu suddenly shouted.

"Something."

Gu Lao Er hurriedly stepped forward and saw a bulge on the ground.

"It's okay, it's just a rock."

said and kicked hard, who knew that this kick went down, and the kick turned over.

"Ahh It's a dead man..."

When everyone got closer, it turned out to be a frozen person. They all turned white with fright, not knowing whether they were stepping on the earth or corpses.

Li Wei stepped forward to check, it should have been covered when it snowed after freezing to death.

"Mother, how can there be dead people on this mountain?" Gu Lao Wu was timid and shrank behind Li Wei in fright.

"Isn't it normal for the road to have frozen bones in such cold weather? When you were at the post station, there were people who froze to death every day, so how did you get here, you made a fuss. ”

Li Wei's heart is also overturned, but looking at these pale little faces, she still has to pretend to be calm.

"Boss, dig a pit on the side of the road and bury the man."

Boss Gu got the order, and hurriedly went to the side of the road to dig a pit at random, called Gu Laosi, Gu Laosan, and several people worked together to bury the person.

Seeing the land being filled, Li Wei sighed secretly, this is life.

In modern times, I always feel that it is the most noble life in the natural world, and here I deeply feel that there is no difference between humans and other animals in the natural world.

......

After a wordless journey, I finally reached the halfway point of the mountain, and there was nothing else along the way except for a few more corpses. As usual, when encountering corpses, Li Wei asked Boss Gu to bury them, which can be regarded as giving them the last dignity.

"Mother, it's getting dark, let's find a place to camp."

Li Wei looked at the weather, and only spent the night in the mountains today.

When she arrived at a pass, Li Wei asked the system, there was no risk of avalanches, mudslides, and landslides, so she asked Boss Gu to build a shed in the leeward place.

While the sky was not completely dark, Li Wei looked at the world and suddenly had the urge to paint.

Secretly took out a pencil and a notebook from the system, found a place by himself, and sketched, the canyon was steep and narrow. If it weren't for the escape, Li Wei really felt that such an experience would be good.

If I can go back one day, these paintings are evidence that I have been there.

The eldest girl saw Li Wei standing alone in the distance, and secretly ran over.

Immediately, I saw Li Wei painting something on a white thing.

"Milk, what is this?"

The eldest girl looked curious.

"This girl, pen and paper for drawing."

The big girl's little head was a little puzzled, where had she seen the paper and pen in the fifth uncle, and it seemed to be different from the one on the milk hand.

But at a young age, she quickly put this doubt behind her, and she saw that the painting in her hand was exactly the same as the one in front of her.

"Milk, did you draw this pass?"

Li Wei nodded.

"Milk, you've drawn so well." The big girl looked adoring.

Li Wei looked at her paintings, which were just basic sketches in modern times, and they could be done after dozens of classes in the interest class.

"Do you want to learn?"

The big girl's eyes lit up.

"Can I learn?"

"Of course, as long as you want to learn, Grandma will teach you."

"I want to learn, I want to learn..."

Looking at the child's thirsty eyes, Li Wei's heart softened.

Begin to understand why in modern times, why always say the flowers of the motherland? As long as these lovely children are around, there is hope.

"Okay, when we settle down, Grandma will find time for you to teach you every day."

The eldest girl nodded heavily, looked at the kind Li Wei, and felt that the milk now is really good, not only knows more, but also never scolds, the most important thing is to let herself and her sister eat well and dress warmly.
