Xiao Youfu muttered in his heart: Lao Tzu will not treat you as a brother, but as a fat sheep.

However, as a last resort, he did not want to fall out with the Wu family.

Old Man Xiao glanced at his boss and waved his hand: "You also gave a lot, I'm afraid that you don't have much of your own family, and you have to find another way." ”

However, when he thought of the brown rice they had boiled and mixed with forage to feed the horses and mules, he couldn't help but feel sorry for them for wasting the grain, and frowned: "First wronged the mules to eat grass, right?" ”

Xiao Youfu stared at the mule's eyes and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, we won't die of hunger!" ”

Everyone present instantly understood the meaning of his words, and they were all frightened by his fierce eyes.

Xiao Xiao didn't think there was anything wrong with her father's words, she looked around, the sky was already dark at this moment, the shadows of the trees were shaking, the breeze was blowing, and she vaguely smelled a little fruity fragrance.

However, she didn't want to expose her unusual sense of smell, so she pulled his sleeve and coquettishly said: "Dad, you will accompany me to hunt tomorrow morning!" ”

Xiao Youfu agreed: "Okay, what about the beast that may bump into the water drink?" ”

After speaking, he beckoned Xiao Dalang to come over: "At night, you and the Wu family will keep vigil together, and Ming'er will change Erlang and the Wu family to keep vigil together, and they will all take turns in the future." ”

Previously, the vigil was all taken care of by the Wu family, and Ah Chang and Ah Quan took turns to keep vigil.

But now that the situation is not good, Xiao Youfu is more cautious.

Xiao Dalang responded.

At vigil, it is the beasts to be guarded against, and the vigil to be vigilant is whether there are bandits.

Fortunately, this night was safe and sound, early in the morning, while breakfast was still cooking, Xiao Youfu took his daughters and Erlang Saburo to explore.

After walking for a while, I found more than 20 wild mulberry trees, and the mulberries hanging on them were already purple and red, black and red, and some were half green and half red.

"So many mulberries!" Erlang Saburo cheered, climbed the tree like a monkey, picked the black and red mulberries and stuffed them into his mouth.

Xiao Xiao was not far behind and climbed the tree, followed by picking and eating, his mouth was black, and he made fun of each other like poisoning.

Since she became Xiao Xiao, although it has only been half a month, she has been living like a year.

Anyway, the moment she saw the mulberry, her eyes were green.

Fortunately, there are many mulberry trees here, and only small birds come to visit them on weekdays, but now it is the ripening season, and when they have eaten enough, they pick a lot of them and put them in a basket with leaves to take home.

During this period, Xiao Youfu also smashed a few strips of color with a stick and prepared to take them back.

Now that the food is in short supply, of course they will not let go of the meat that comes to their mouths.

Xiao Xiao forced himself to watch, and he wouldn't be afraid if he watched too much.

She also saw the hare and quickly shot an arrow, but unfortunately it was a little short and missed.

"Oops, run away again!" Xiao Lian looked depressed: "You can't do it, you're still in a hurry, let me come next time!" ”

Xiao Xiao laughed in his heart when he heard this, he would have needed more practice with such a live target.

She has been practicing hard these days, and the dead target has been able to aim smoothly, so there is a lack of live targets to practice.

"It's the rabbit that's too small." Xiao Xiao also likes to quarrel with Xiao Lian: "If it's a wild boar, I'll definitely be able to shoot it." ”

She just talked, and regretted it when she finished speaking, afraid that she had the potential of a crow's mouth.

You must know that the wild boar has rough skin and thick meat, even if it is shot, it does not hit the vital point, and it is estimated that it will not die without shooting a dozen arrows.

Xiao Lian was blocked and had nothing to say.

When they returned, the people who stayed behind saw that the mulberries were also eaten immediately.

After eating, I continued to hurry, and when it was almost noon, I finally saw a small village.

Xiao Youfu and Master Wu went to check in person, and found that the people in this village were almost gone, and there were only a few old people left.

Ten miles are not customary, and a hundred miles are different.

Fortunately, after Emperor Wu ascended the throne, he vigorously promoted the official language.

Relying on fingering, even guessing and blinding, it can be regarded as able to communicate.

Among them, there are lonely and widowed old people, and some are in the war, and their sons have not returned home to beg for a living, so they insist on staying and waiting for their sons.

Xiao Youfu and the others stayed to fetch some clean water, asked for directions carefully, and exchanged rice and salt for some vegetables such as beans and loofahs.

Salt is essential.

But at the beginning, Xiao Youfu bought more than a dozen catties one after another, plus they didn't need to put salt in eating bacon and pickles, so they still had a jar of salt.

Besides, the salt given to them is only three or four taels for a family.

Anyway, Xiao Xiao feels that he is eating less oil and less salt now, and health experts will be ashamed when they see it.

She now misses fried chicken, braised chicken, and braised elbow.

I can't even think about it, and I drool when I think about it.

After that, he walked for eight days in a row.

"Finally arrived in Cangshan County, but there are still a lot of people waiting to go in?" Xiao Dalang ran over after inquiring about the news from the front, very excited: "Uncle Wu has already gone to the front to inquire about the situation, let's stop the car and rest for a while." ”

When Xiao Xiao heard this, she immediately lifted the curtain of the car, came out and stood on the wheel and looked ahead, she was stunned before she had never seen the world: "There are so many mule carts and carriages?" ”

It was already afternoon at this moment, and the sun was not very strong, so Xiao Youfu still drove the mule to the shade of the tree, and first took a sickle to cut the grass and feed the mule.

The feed for the mules has long been eaten, and the mules can only eat forage these days, and the speed of travel has slowed down a lot.

This place is called Cangshan County, which was inquired with the old people in the village before, saying that this side is not far from Yuanzhou Mansion, and there is a guard station stationed on the side, and I heard that there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses.

And it is also a must to go to Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

Xiao Lian also came out to see the excitement and exclaimed: "There are so many people in front? ”

From their point of view, they could not see the end of the procession in front of them, nor could they see the city gates, but only the high walls.

She touched Xiao Xiao with her elbow, and she yearned unspeakably: "It's safe to watch, if only we could stay here." ”

Xiao Xiao shook his head: "This is a place where soldiers must fight, unless the world is peaceful, otherwise it is impossible to be stable." ”

When Xiao Youfu heard this, he was a little surprised: "Little San, how do you know this?" ”

Xiao Xiao was already immune to his special title, and raised his chin with pride: "Dad, you look down on me too much, go to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, come to Yuzhang, you have to go through here, it means that this place is very important." ”

Xiao Youfu likes the closeness of his little daughter and his tone, and he smiled: "You are clever, follow me!" ”

He also thinks so, now it's not very peaceful, and such an important place is prone to chaos.

Moreover, the general of Yuanzhou Mansion has so many soldiers and horses under his hands, maybe he also wants to take the opportunity to rebel and establish himself as the emperor?

It's not that he has foresight, but that's what he thinks in his heart at the moment: If Lao Tzu is a general and there are so many people under him, then what are you waiting for?

He felt that the convoy would not be able to move for a while, so he simply beckoned everyone to come down and breathe.

After waiting for about a cup of tea, but still not seeing Master Wu come back, Mrs. Wu was panicked, afraid that something would happen to her man, so she said to Xiao Youfu with a worried face: "Brother Xiao, my master hasn't come back yet, I wonder if you can please accompany the dog to take a look?" ”

"That's fine!" Xiao Youfu was also curious about why the team didn't move, so he said hello to his father and brother, and led Wu Dalang forward.
