Everyone was chatting while eating porridge, and Yang Dashan said: "We only need to climb over this mountain and walk a few dozen miles south to Handcheng. We have never been there, but we only heard from Xingshang about the general direction.
Shall we go to the town to see it then? If it hadn't been occupied by the Khitans, we could still buy some things, but we still lack a lot of things for the road. "
After he finished speaking, Yang Dawang next to him answered, "We are at a junction here. Going west is Yunzhou, going east is Youzhou, and going south, as long as you climb over this mountain, you can reach Handeng. After passing Handcheng, we reach the Central Plains.
I think as long as we enter the Central Plains, those Khitans will no longer be able to run wild, and we will be safe.
Many merchants took this road to enter the Central Plains, so carriages could be used on this road.
Previously we discovered that the road that Miss Xue took runs from east to west, while this road runs from north to south. Although there are no signs of Khitan people passing by on this road, we cannot be careless and it is better to be careful. "
Qingyan listened to the place names they mentioned and arranged them in her mind. In other words, after climbing over the current mountain and walking a few dozen miles, she would reach Handan. Handan is adjacent to Henan, which is equal to the Central Plains.
In this way, the distance is indeed not far, and this place is really a triangle.
I just don’t know how big this mountain is? How long does it take to cross this mountain?
Qingyan wanted to ask them, but considering that they had never been to this mountain, it was probably in vain.
Simply send a message to Chou Chou: "Chou Chou, can you talk to the animals in the mountain? For example, birds, ask them how far they will go if they go south over the mountain?"
Chou Chou was immersed in drinking porridge. Hearing this, he raised his head from the bowl, glanced at Qingyan and nodded, then resumed eating.
After a while, he sent a message to Qingyan: "The sparrow on the tree on the right said that if it flew south out of this mountain, it would take a whole day.
However, it also said that even if we cross the mountain, there is still a big river over there, which is very wide and cannot be crossed. "
Qingyan was dumbfounded. It would take a whole day for a bird to fly over this mountain. This shows how big this mountain is. No, it’s not this mountain. In this way, it should be said that it’s how big this mountain range is. .
Oh my God! Then wouldn't they have to go for several days or ten? It's a good thing there are mountain roads like this along the way. If not, it would be easy to get lost in the woods.
Just hope that there will be no Khitans or other dangers on this road. At least they can keep walking along the road without having to temporarily change the route.
Although with Chou Chou there is a high probability that getting lost will not happen, but if there is no road, the donkey cart will definitely not be able to go, and it will be troublesome if it takes another detour.
…
After everyone had breakfast, they started to pack their things. After putting away the bedding and stewing the pheasant, they placed it directly in the basket and stuffed it with plenty of wild grass around it, which was both shock-proof and heat-insulating.
After scanning the tail so that no one could see too many traces, they were on their way again.
This time we didn't stop until it was almost dark. Because there were pheasants stewed with yams, we didn't stop to rest at noon. We didn't stop until it was almost dark and found a spacious place to spend the night.
Qingyan felt that her legs were as soft as cotton, and when she lifted them up, they seemed to weigh a thousand pounds. The soles of her feet were stinging and painful. She suspected that she might have blisters on her feet.
It's just that everyone stopped, and she was too embarrassed to stop and look at her feet. This was ancient times after all, and it would definitely not be good to do such a thing.
Look at what was shown in the TV series. In the ancient times, if someone looked at their feet, they would marry each other, or else they would throw themselves into the river and hang themselves. It was terrible.
The place we found this time was wider than the one we found yesterday, but we were not as lucky as yesterday and did not find any water source today.
Before taking a rest, I asked Chou Chou to observe that there are still some places further around where there is no water source.
Fortunately, they filled all the containers yesterday, which is enough for today, but they will have to search for them tomorrow.
