The water source was in the woods, not very far from the roadside, so they rested under a tree not far from the water source.
In this way, even if the sun rises, it will not be directly exposed to the sun, and they can rest for a while.
They were not planning on traveling at noon, but had to wait until the sun was about to set.
Today is the 15th and it’s sunny again. The moon will definitely be brighter than yesterday. It’s no problem even if you’re traveling at night, as long as you look in the right direction during the day.
If it were before, it would actually be okay not to look at the direction, just follow the road.
The deeper we get into the mountain, the less obvious the mountain path becomes. If we weren't judging by the distance between the trees, we wouldn't be able to tell at all under the deep cover of weeds.
So you still need to check the general direction during the day to avoid going in the wrong direction.
In fact, there is no need to worry about Chou Chou. It has told the wild donkeys pulling the cart the route. Even if they find the wrong direction, the donkey will not follow them in that direction.
Over the past few days, Yang Dashan and the others found it incredible. They even thought that if the donkey hadn't been unable to speak, it would have become a spirit.
Even Li Hao and the three of them were a little surprised when they came into contact with each other throughout the day and night.
Not to mention Qingyan's little monkey, both appearance and movements are very different. Now I find that the donkey doesn't look ordinary.
It was stronger than the donkeys they had seen before, and the hair on its body was smoother and smoother, and it could also recognize the road!
It is said that an old horse knows the way. That is because the horse remembers the way. But this donkey can also know the way when going to a strange place. This is amazing!
In fact, they were most curious about Qingyan. When they saw Liu Sanli's leg injury before, they thought that among the old men, there was a doctor who was good at orthopedics and wanted to recruit him to serve in the army.
Later, I was even more surprised when I found out that Miss Xue had taken care of his injuries.
I didn’t expect that Miss Xue, apart from her skills, could also heal bone injuries!
They are not like the villagers in Yangjiaping who have never seen the world. They think that anyone with kung fu can heal their wounds. Most of them will be good if they can bring some golden sore medicine.
Those who really know how to treat bone injuries, if there is no inheritance in the family, it is impossible to be self-taught, and they can only recover a dislocated bone, which is considered to be relatively clever.
So they were even more curious about Qingyan. If this lady was really from the Xue family, even if she was from a side branch, the way the Xue family taught the girl would be extraordinary.
Although this era is relatively relaxed for women, women walking outside are still at a disadvantage, especially in these troubled times, where they may encounter danger at any time.
In the peaceful and prosperous times of the previous dynasty, women would have been much more free and would go out to beat horses and parade in the streets. However, since entering the troubled times, women have become much more restrained than before.
In fact, after Emperor Wu, everyone began to have more restrictions on women, and it was no longer as loose as before. At least there were far fewer people practicing martial arts and medicine.
Even if they come from a medical family or a martial arts family, it is more likely that they are passed on from male to female, which is why they are so novel.
Wang Kun and Wang Qian felt that if Miss Xue was really the young lady of Xue Mansion in the capital, she would be a perfect match for their master Yuzi.
Not only is he a good match, but he will not be a hindrance to his master if he has the skills to do so. With his medical skills, he becomes a good wife, which is a great help.
Of course, we can't say this now. If there is a problem with Miss Xue's background or her life experience is not revealed, the marriage will not be successful and the reputation of this girl will be ruined.
Everyone had been walking all night, and they were thirsty and tired before they found water. Except for those who stayed on guard, they basically had a good sleep.
Qingyan glanced at her watch secretly when she woke up and found that it was already past three o'clock and almost four o'clock. Although there was sunset at this time, it was blocked by the woods and it was not as hot as noon.
They were not in a hurry to hit the road, they planned to fill their stomachs first.
During this period, I eat two meals a day, which is a good time to cook.
Qingyan went to the water to wash up, and was going to go to the mountains and forests with Chou Chou to have a meal if there were any pheasants, hares or the like.
Coincidentally, Li Hao and the others thought the same way. They had already finished the dry food they had brought with them. When they got together with everyone in Yangjiaping, they had nothing to eat. There was only a little water in the water bag, plus the food in the baggage. Clothing.
Last night and during the morning meal, they had also discovered that everyone in Yangjiaping ate unprocessed wheat grains and wild vegetables dug on the spot, and they felt very embarrassed.
The vegetables I brought earlier were all eaten in the first few days, otherwise they wouldn’t be able to survive in this hot weather.
Even if there are grains of wheat, there are actually not many. Along the way, we try to dig up some wild vegetables in the woods if we can, and find some wild fruits if we can.
Like the yam I dug with Qingyan before, I have never encountered it again. Otherwise, it can be eaten as a staple food, which is both filling and delicious.
Don't underestimate those yams, they kept their food for two more days.
After everyone woke up, they first put away the bedding, and the women began to find some wild vegetables and fruits around, and lit a fire to boil water in the previous stove.
The men went to get some firewood and see if there were any wild animals around or if there were any edible fish in the water.
The pool didn't look big, but it was quite deep. The water was dark green and you couldn't see the bottom. Of course, you couldn't see if there were any fish in it.
This place may be because it is next to a mountain road. There are no footprints of large beasts around the pool, indicating that there should be other water sources nearby, and those beasts drink from another water source.
There are only a few small wild animal footprints, such as those of pheasants and hares. However, as this group of people is active here, those small wild animals probably don't dare to come over.
Instead, you can follow the footprints to find a rabbit nest.
Yang Dashan looked at the men gearing up and thought that everyone couldn't run away. Only the old, weak, women and children were left here. If there was any danger, they would not be able to come back in time.
So he persuaded Qingyan to come down, and advised her to rest instead of going into the mountain. It would be better for their men to go in.
After that, Yang Shuanzhu and Yang Dawang were left here to protect them. He, Yang Erzhuang and Yang Dayun followed Li Hao and the others to go around the mountains.
