After the handkerchiefs were sold here, Jiang Zhi hurried out. Xu Errui had already held the old mule and was waiting outside.
The old mule who was kept at the Huo Family Medicine Store rested for most of the day and had regained his energy after eating and drinking enough.
Er Rui also prepared food for several people on the road.
When they arrived at the city gate, they saw Xiao Man and Wu Yang waiting, with Xiang Dejin beside them.
As soon as he saw Jiang Zhi, Xiang Dejin said: "Auntie is in a hurry to go back and forth. It's better to rest for one night before leaving!"
Miss Huo Er said that she wanted Jiang Zhi to rest for a day.
Jiang Zhi said: "How can you feel at home outside? It's hard to travel during the day, and as long as you stay here, it will be another whole day. But we caused you trouble last time by selling young corn!"
Last time, it really all depended on the help of Xiang Dejin and the others.
Xiang Dejin chuckled and said: "What did aunt say? There is no trouble between us brothers. I just heard Xiaoman say that the mountain is lively now, and Peppa Pig is getting older. I really want to throw it with it again." .”
They used to live in the mountains and play with the little wild boars every day. Now half a year has passed and they heard that the wild boar has grown to almost two hundred pounds, and they miss it very much.
After talking a few words, I saw that it was getting late and the heat on the land subsided.
Those at the city gate who also wanted to rush on their way while it was cool had already left, so Jiang Zhi and the others also said goodbye and set off.
Because it was the middle of the month, the full moon was in the sky, shining brightly like daylight, and the night breeze was cool, making it much more comfortable than traveling during the day.
Jiang Zhi still rode the wooden cart, with three strong young men pushing her around. She was not tired at all.
Xiao Man was very excited and kept telling Er Rui all kinds of strange things he heard from Xiang Dejin and the others.
What about patrolling the streets to investigate crimes, catching thieves, and killing people and dumping their bodies.
At this time, walking in the wilderness, looking at the dark shadows all around, mixed with the chirping of various insects and strange sounds, listening to the chat room, it is really an immersive excitement.
Er Rui and Jiang Zhi said in Xiao Man, "There was an ancient well in the old house. Brother Xiang and the others heard a sound inside. When they lowered their heads and looked down, they saw a blur of flowers in front of their eyes. Ice and cold water with water vapor splashed on their faces... "
Jiang Zhi's heart was in his throat: "A thief was hiding inside and ran out?"
Xu Errui also said nervously: "What is it? Isn't it a ghost jumping out?"
Xiao Man chuckled: "Tell Brother Xiang that he was also startled. When he looked carefully, a palm-sized green-cut cat (frog) jumped out!"
"Xiaoman...you are too tight-lipped, it's time for you to get beaten up by yellow vitex!" Jiang Zhi pointed at him angrily and scolded and laughed at the same time.
Several people were talking and laughing, and Xiaoman somehow got talking about fighting.
The battlefield is no longer in Ba County. Peace is gradually returning here, and people are beginning to forget about the war and struggle for life.
But in other places, wherever the war burns there is chaos.
Xiaoman lowered his voice and said: "I heard from several government officials that all the soldiers of King Zhou came from Bajun, and there was one team in particular that was not afraid of death.
Hehe, beat those imperial soldiers until they ran away when they met. "
Jiang Zhi's brows gradually furrowed. King Zhou left Ba County and the battle was still going on. What was the male protagonist doing now? Is it the most powerful team?
It had been a long time since she had dreamed again, and she could not recall the details of the original writing.
Originally, I only read online articles for fun, skipping chapters, listening to books and falling asleep, forgetting the previous chapter after reading the next chapter, and knowing the ending after reading the beginning.
Especially for cool articles, I forget them after reading them. I can't recall the content of each book at all, and I can't even remember the names of these cool articles that have the same routine.
Jiang Zhi didn't say anything, Wu Yang was always a man of few words, and he had already heard these words in the city.
Only Er Rui and Xiao Man chatted non-stop.
Suddenly, the old mule walking in front stopped, and the erect ears on his head kept turning in the direction, listening to the surrounding sounds. This was when he discovered something was wrong.
Wu Yang who was pushing the cart also stopped and took out the knife from his waist.
Xiao Man and Er Rui alertly took out the hatchets placed in the car. Jiang Zhi also stood up and looked at the mountains and forests aside.
It was late at night and no one was seen on the already sparsely populated road.
What you can encounter at this time is either bandits or wild beasts.
A few of them were not particularly nervous. It was normal to encounter animals in the wild. They had encountered this situation several times before.
As long as they are not particularly hungry or encounter each other on a narrow road, wild animals will not take the initiative to conflict with people.
The possibility of encountering bandits is also low. This is the official road to Pingchuan County, which is only more than 20 miles away from Xujiacun. There are patrol teams coming and going, so bandits dare not attack here.
Before everyone could wait long, they heard a rustling sound, and a dog-like animal came out from behind the rocks outside the road, quickly jumped across the official road and disappeared into the woods.
"It's a wild dog!" Xiaoman recognized it with sharp eyes.
The old mule stood for a moment longer, then tentatively stepped forward.
Because he was traveling at night this time, the distance was long, and the old mule was not strong enough, so Jiang Zhi did not buy food in the city.
Although old mules are not as strong as those young and strong mules, they still have old ways of survival and save energy at all times on the road.
A journey that can take one step will never take two steps, a journey that can take a small turn will never take a big turn, the steps are always neither hasty nor slow, and one can listen to the sound to identify danger.
Jiang Zhi feels that as long as animals are given long enough time, they will also be intelligent!
No one dared to take their time any longer for the rest of the way. Seeing that it was already midnight, Xiaoman Errui and Wu Yang took turns jogging all the way, and finally returned to Xujiacun smoothly.
At this time, the whole village was silent. If it was an ordinary mountain village, the sound of dogs would be loud.
"It's time for us to get a dog!" Jiang Zhi sighed.
I usually don’t feel it during the day, but now I realize the importance of dogs.
To use an old saying: "It's better to make a noise!"
It's a pity that the dogs left behind when the villagers fled for famine, after escaping the war and fire, still fell into the mouths of the refugees gathered here.
In addition, the villagers do not have much food to raise livestock, and now there are no dogs in the village.
If there is no dog to keep watch, there will be watchers among these sleeping people.
Just after Jiang Zhi and the others stepped onto the road between the houses, someone heard voices coming out of the shack.
"Aunt Jiang, are you back?" Xu Genyou stepped forward to lead the mule.
Mrs. Liu also opened the curtain and came out: "Oh, it's night again, I'll cook you some porridge!"
Jiang Zhi called to her: "Sister-in-law Liu, I have some steamed buns here. Just boil a sip of water. We'll finish the water on the way."
A few people were busy for a while, eating and drinking, and then rested in the village.
As the glow rises, the farmers who got up early went down to the fields again.
Xujia Village has regained its vitality, and now children are running to cut pig grass and herd sheep.
Seven or eight women gathered under the warehouse in the village, each with a smile on their face and whispering to each other: "Sister-in-law, how much is the green mushroom you sold this time?"
The woman in question opened the money bag at her waist and showed it to others: "People in the county are rich. The village chief brought the same amount, and sold it for five cents more than in Lihua Town!"
"Yes! Yes! Look, the money the Lianhua family sells for a pheasant is enough to buy a lot of food. Her family Genqing has already gone to town to buy meat."
"Who says people are lucky enough to catch pheasants, but my family only has one rabbit..."
The women dispersed while talking.
