"Why did you run outside so early in the morning? Why didn't you take a few people with you when you went out? What if you ran into a pack of wolves again..."
Zhou Yunshu didn't wait for Li Jialan to finish speaking, then handed the basket to her, "Mom, look what I found."
"Eggs!" Li Jialan automatically ignored the persimmons and red dates in the basket and said to Zhou Yunshu, "Why do these eggs look like domestic eggs?"
Zhou Yunshu touched Xixi's little head, which was close to her, and said to her: "Maybe it's my luck, I just happened to pick up the eggs laid by the chickens that got lost in the village at the foot of the mountain, and there are a lot of pheasants here. "
Li Jialan thought for a while and nodded. People were gathering together, and it didn't seem strange for chickens to gather together to lay eggs.
Zhou Yunshu and the others were not the only ones to gain something this early in the morning. Perhaps because of the water here, there were more pheasants and rabbits around than in other places. Those in the team who were good at hunting and even those who were more agile had something to gain.
Ordinary people, thinking about leaving this lake soon, splash around in the lake to catch fish with all their strength, wishing they could drag the lake away.
In the morning, the aunt who was in charge of cooking in the team stewed all the remaining wolf meat. Except for the group of people who set fire privately, everyone else started their own small stoves.
Zhou Yunshu and the others made a big deal.
Chicken stewed with mushrooms, snake soup, cabbage stewed with vermicelli and white flour pancakes.
In addition to the eggs, the four children and Zhou Yunshu each received a boiled egg.
After breakfast, the team packed up all the water, hunting prey and fish caught in the lake, and then slowly returned to the mountain road.
There was water and food, and everything was sufficient. Except for traveling at a slower pace, everyone felt that traveling in the mountains was much better than traveling down the mountains.
At least you don't have to worry about being attacked or being caught and treated as a two-legged sheep.
As long as you listen to the team's words in the mountains, except for the occasional worry that wild beasts will attack or wildfires break out, everything else will be fine, and even the food will be better than when you were down the mountain before.
Many people in the team like life in the mountains.
Zhou Yunshu and his party drove on the mountain for six days. The mountain road became wider and wider, and later it could accommodate two mule carts running in parallel.
On the seventh day, Zhou Yunshu and the others met another group of people on the mountain road. The group was much smaller than Zhou Yunshu and the others, but they looked very fierce.
I don’t know who is sitting in the two carriages. The guards who can be seen are all wearing dark brown shorts. The long knives in their hands are uniformly arranged. Their eyes are sharp and cold when they glance over. This is definitely a team I have seen many times. The blood team.
Suddenly meeting other people in the mountains, both parties were very wary. Later, they found out that the other party had no ill intentions, so they walked in such a steady manner.
When it got dark, everyone stopped and prepared to rest directly on the mountain road.
The firewood was piled up and the pots were placed on the stand. The aunts and ladies in the team were discussing what to do tonight.
Maybe it was because Zhou Yunshu had been very calm during this period, and Li Jialan finally stopped being as close to her as before. Then Doctor Xue checked her pulse again, and her body had fully recovered.
In the past few days, apart from resting, Zhou Yunshu has been teaching the children in the team how to read, and Hu Zi, whose injury has not yet completely healed, also participated.
After he became mobile, Zhou Yunshu forced him to learn Chinese characters with the children of Yuanli and Yuanyi, even though his learning progress was not even comparable to that of Luo Xiaoshan.
Huzi was very happy when he first learned to read, but later his face became increasingly bitter.
The hunting dogs and bears could still follow the spring sparrow out for a walk, but he could only scratch the ground with a branch every day.
There is no way, their boss has to ask questions every day and write them down silently.
He, a tall and muscular man, squatted next to a little boy who was no taller than his waist every day and accepted questions from the boss. He seemed to be unsociable.
It wouldn't matter if he studied well, but every day he had to accept the IQ crushing from Yuan Li and Yuan Yi, and he couldn't even compare with the elder and younger daughters.
Alas, why don’t the older you get, the smarter you become?
Huzi sat by the side of the carriage with a grimace, looking at the second half of the Three-Character Sutra on the ground that he could not remember, and secretly wanted to turn his head and learn from the words of the little classmate next to him.
As a result, his big head had just turned halfway in fear, and a branch as thick as a thumb fell on his arm with a "snap".
Huzi shivered in pain and looked up with a guilty conscience. As expected, he saw the serious face of his boss. Huzi tried his best to show a wry smile, "Boss, I...I forgot."
When he mentioned forgetting, Huzi almost burst into tears. He was really not a good student.
Instead of letting him learn to write here, it would be better to let him move rocks!
"If you forget, just draw an X and continue writing silently."
Listening to his boss's unquestionable words, Huzi lowered his big head silently and continued to think while turning his head back.
In the beginning, human beings are inherently good in nature, have similar natures, and have the same sexual orientation. Dogs are not...reasonable? Goubuli...
Huzi held the wooden stick and lowered his head and swallowed. He wanted to eat steamed buns.
When Zhou Yunshu, who was standing aside, saw Huzi writing the three words Goubuli, she almost broke the stick in her hand in anger.
The most important thing is that he wrote two of the three words "goubuli" wrong!
Huzi listened to the sound of deep breathing in front of him and shrank his big head again.
Who has offended his boss again? It can’t be yourself.
Curious in his heart, Huzi raised his head timidly, and happened to meet the cold and stern eyes of his boss. As soon as they looked into each other, Huzi suddenly lowered his head.
Yuan Ruo watched this scene and giggled until his hand was hit by his brother.
"What are you laughing at? Hurry up and write it silently!"
"knew!"
Zhou Yunshu was cooking and reading here, while the group in front also made a fire and prepared to cook.
"Uncle Liang, it seems that the group of refugees at the back are no ordinary refugees."
A square-faced man wearing a dark brown robe sat next to an old man who was about fifty years old and said: "I see that they have strict discipline and clear division of labor. I can't figure out where they came from."
The most important thing is that they look like they are fleeing, but there are people patrolling the desert, and there are even people teaching within the team.
Such a team suddenly appeared behind them, and it was inevitable that they would not think too much.
The man whom the man called Uncle Liang glanced at the team behind him and said, "Be on guard tonight, be careful of sneak attacks by the group of refugees behind you."
He touched the jade plaque on his waist and continued: "We will leave at dawn tomorrow and try to get back to the capital before the princess's birthday."
"yes."
After Uncle Liang finished speaking, he put down the jade plaque and stood up. He walked to the carriage in the queue, stood by the window and said, "Master, get ready to eat."
"Got it." A clear voice came from the carriage.
After hearing his young master's reply, Uncle Liang returned to the burning fire and asked the people around him to prepare bamboo mats for his young masters.
The young man who had just spoken in the carriage looked at the handsome young man who had been sitting opposite him and said, "Zhou Yunjia, how long has it been? Can you stop keeping such a face?"
"Yun Qi asked me to take you back to Nanzhou for your own good, otherwise you really want the Zhenbei Palace to annihilate your descendants!"
