Chapter 33: The Lamb

At first, they didn't dare to use river water, because Xiao Xiao was afraid that infectious diseases would be transmitted through water.

However, after arriving in Cangshan County, I did not hear of the epidemic.

Xiao Xiao is not a science student, and she doesn't have a space system in hand, so she can only think hard, wait for the water to settle clear, filter the clean water with a cotton cloth, and then boil it before drinking.

Fortunately, she had bought a lot of white cotton cloth beforehand.

And Mrs. Xiao, who originally thought Xiao Xiao was too hypocritical, saw that there was really a layer of ash on the white cloth of filtered water, and she consciously filtered it again and then poured it into the cauldron to burn.

Listening to the little granddaughter nagging in her ear, the illness comes from the mouth, if you eat something wrong, it is expensive to see the doctor, and it is also expensive to buy medicine.

Although Mrs. Xiao retorted in her mouth: "It's not clean, it's not clean, it's not sick after eating!" How can people like us be so blind? ”

In the end, I still heard it in my heart, thinking that now I picked up two big iron pots in vain, and Mrs. Xiao specially explained which iron pot to use to boil water in the future.

It has been raining all day, and everyone's mood is a little anxious.

Old Man Xiao looked at the rain and frowned: "If the rain doesn't stop tomorrow, we still have to hurry slowly, and we can't keep delaying here." ”

Both sons were injured, and even if there was medicine to be applied externally and internally, he was worried that something wrong would cause him to fall ill.

You still have to see a doctor to feel at ease.

Xiao Xiao also immediately agreed: "Grandfather is right, Ming'er and my eldest brother will go to explore the road first." ”

This kind of ghost weather, I'm afraid that something will go wrong on the road.

Unfortunately, the next day it rained even more, and they did not dare to let the mules go on the road at all.

Everyone will have to stay for another day.

Fortunately, because of the rainy day and the cool weather, the Xiao brothers and their wounds also stopped bleeding and did not deteriorate.

By the afternoon of the third day, the rain had finally stopped, and the two families hurriedly set off.

The road after the rain is particularly muddy, so they can't walk fast.

Even if their anger had to stop, the mules and horses still had to rest.

Originally, they could go out of the mountain road in two or three days, but because of the rain, they were delayed for two days, and they walked slowly, and they came out after six days.

Xiao Xiao looked back at the rolling mountains: "Xuan'er, let's reach the boundary of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, right?" ”

"Yes," Lin Xuan thought that Xiao Xiao's father promised their sisters that he would send them back to Mingzhou, and he was relieved for most of his heart: "When we came here before last, it seemed that we had been walking for almost half a month from home. ”

When I thought of coming, my father, aunt and brother-in-law, as well as the maid and the maid, and the luggage, there was a carriage and six mule carts.

Even on the road, you don't have to worry about eating and drinking, and you don't have to worry about anything.

Unexpectedly, after two years, only the sisters were left to flee for their lives.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a sour heart.

Xiao Xiao was very depressed after hearing this, which meant that they would have to walk on the road for half a month before they could settle down.

Not far away is the official road, Old Man Xiao didn't dare to make a decision, after stopping the mule cart, he asked everyone: "Are we taking the official road or the small road now?" ”

The medicinal materials are all consumed, and he wants to go through the official road even more.

The official road is spacious, and you may encounter a post station, so you can inquire about the situation here with the messenger.

Master Wu touched his chin that was a little smaller, and said very smoothly: "We don't know about the situation here, the official road is good, we have no opinion, we all listen to you." ”

Who made their force value inferior to that of the Xiao family?

Even if the injuries of the Xiao family brothers are not healed now, they don't dare to take it seriously.

It was really the scene of the Xiao family brothers slashing people, which made them have nightmares when they think about it now.

Therefore, Master Wu decided in his heart that he would provide for them all the way.

"Why don't we go down the official road?" Xiao Dalang has experienced a lot of things now, but he is much calmer: "My second brother and sister and I can take turns to explore the way, just in case." ”

"I also think it's better to go the official way." Xiao Xiao's mouth is clever: "In this way, my father and second uncle can also have less bumps." ”

Their wounds were only completely stopped yesterday, but they couldn't make a big move, and now Xiao Youfu, who was injured in his arm, could still lie down and sleep, and he could walk for a while to breathe.

Xiao Yougui could only sleep on his stomach because of an injury on his back.

In order to make him comfortable, the carriage was first covered with a quilt and then a straw mat.

Fortunately, it is already July, and I heard my grandmother say that it is almost autumn after the great heat, so it is already very comfortable in the morning and evening, and it will be a little hotter around noon.

Xiao Youfu heard his little daughter's thoughtful words, and smiled with his eyebrows: "Xiao San is really sensible and filial." ”

Xiao Xiao is now immune to the title of Xiao San, and smiled sweetly at him: "Because Dad was injured to protect us." ”

Xiao Yougui was particularly envious when he heard it: "In the end, my daughter is intimate." ”

It's like his three sons, after he was sure that he couldn't die, none of them stayed with him to talk to him.

Xiao Lian looked at her sister with disdain, and said silently: "Sycophant! ”

Obviously, the little sister used to dislike her father the most, but now it is the best to become her father and little sister.

Old Man Xiao made the final decision: "Okay, then let's take the official road." ”

The two mule carts of the Xiao family are now driven by Old Man Xiao, Xiao Wei and Xiao Dalang Erlang in turn.

Now Xiao Wei and Old Man Xiao are catching the car, and Xiao Xiao and Xiao Dalang are trotting to the front to explore the way.

About half an hour later, it was replaced by Xiao Lian and Xiao Erlang to explore the way.

In this way, you can take turns to explore the way, and you can take turns to rest.

When it was Xiao Xiao and Xiao Dalang's turn to explore the way, Xiao Dalang looked at the sky: "It's getting dark, let's pay attention to a suitable place to spend the night." ”

It's best to have water and not too many weeds.

Xiao Xiao carried the bow: "I just hope that a rabbit with no long eyes can bump into it, and it will be a good dish at night." ”

In the first six days, a lot of rice noodles were consumed, and now Xiao Lao Niang, who is picking the door, is reluctant to cook dry rice for them at night, either wild vegetable gnocchi or sweet potato porridge, which is really unappetizing.

And Xiao Xiao's pastries that they had secretly bought before had also been consumed.

She thought that she woke up hungry in the middle of the night last night, and it was really a bitter tear.

The most hateful thing is that there are not many rabbits and pheasants in the mountains, and they are small in size and have many vines on the mountain, which is really not good for hunting.

Anyway, it's definitely not that her archery skills aren't good enough.

You know, eight out of ten times she can hit a bird that doesn't fly too high, but only three times a rabbit.

The repaired hare weighs only two or three pounds, and there are so many of them that a few chopsticks per person are gone, and they have never eaten enough.

When Xiao Dalang heard his cousin say this, he thought of the delicious color soup and the spicy rabbit meat, and he couldn't help swallowing his saliva: "Ming'er Let's get up early in the morning and go to the river to guard, maybe we can hunt wild deer to drink water?" ”

Well, this one is more greedy than her.

Xiao Xiaodu only dared to think about the hare.

"Huh!" Xiao Dalang looked at the few big stones on the road in front of him with a puzzled expression: "How can there be stones here?" Let's move out! ”

Xiao Xiao felt that something was wrong in his heart, and was about to pull him to run, but more than a dozen men came out on the side.

The short and fat man at the head looked excited: "Finally waited for the two lambs, the male one was slaughtered, and the female one was tied up and brought back to the brothers!" ”
