After everyone finished cleaning up, they went to bed hastily. Because they had something on their minds and were somewhat frightened during the day, they didn't sleep very well.
Because everyone was tossing and turning, and Qingyan's hearing was too sensitive, she didn't sleep very well.
It wasn't until after one o'clock in the morning that the person lying on the ground fell asleep in a daze.
At three o'clock, Chou Chou came directly to push Qingyan awake.
This is the time they agreed. Chou Chou doesn't need a watch, he can watch the sky.
Qingyan sat up in confusion, rubbed her eyes, patted the place where she was lying and whispered: "Chou Chou, you can go to sleep, I'll go and watch."
After saying that, he got up and walked towards the stream.
Nothing happened in the first half of the night, so I guess there should be no problems in the second half of the night.
I remember when I was watching the Animal World, the animals that appeared at night all came out to look for food at eleven or twelve o'clock.
Of course, this is not necessarily true. After all, those who were photographed may not be all of them. There may be some who come out later occasionally.
Chou Chou obediently lay down on Qingyan's pillow, but it was so small that it didn't take up much space, so the people sleeping on both sides turned over and leaned over, making it look much more relaxed.
Although the vigil was held in rotation, it was all men who were keeping watch, and the few old ladies and Orchid did not allow them to participate.
There is no need, and they will be energetic before going on the road the next day after they have rested, and the old ladies have to get up early in the morning to make fires for cooking and boil water.
Since they had a water source and no longer had to look for water everywhere, they no longer drank raw water.
Qingyan told them that it is better to boil the water before drinking it. It is better for the body. Although the water in the wild is living water, there may not be many microorganisms in it. If you drink it, you will have diarrhea or parasites, which will be troublesome. .
In these ancient times, people could easily die if there was a lack of medical treatment.
Everyone also listened to the advice. Anyway, it was just a matter of extra hands. They poured the boiled water back into the barrel to cool it down and drink it on the way.
There are streams along this section of the road, so there is no need to store too much water. You can go to the stream to fetch water or wash yourself at any time along the way, which makes traveling much easier.
Qingyan washed her face directly by the stream. The icy cold water of the stream in the middle of the night made her feel refreshed.
She touched the dry skin on her face and sighed. She had not applied facial oil since she came here. The stuff had a smell, was too fragrant, and could be easily exposed.
Another thing to say is that now she is pretending to be a refugee. Even Li Hao and the others are slovenly because they haven't washed their hair or showered during this period. So when those people gathered around yesterday, they saw Qingyan didn't suspect anything.
Now even after she washes her face, she will smear some ashes from the bottom of the clay pot on her face. There is no way, her skin is a bit too white, and like her parents, she can't get a tan no matter how much she tans, so she has to do it artificially.
As for her hair, it was wrapped in a rag towel, making it easy for people to see the clues. After all, her hair was black and shiny, which was very different from the villagers who were not very well-nourished.
Qingyan suspected that now that she walked in front of her parents, they might not recognize that this sloppy and dark little girl was their daughter.
…
There were four people keeping watch in the first half of the night, including Li Hao, Wang Qian, Yang Dashan and Yang Dawang. Chou Chou was an extra person, and it was always on the tree.
In the second half of the night, Wang Kun, Yang Shuanzhu, Yang Erzhuang and Yang Sanyou were replaced, and Qingyan was also added.
Originally Liu Sanli also wanted to contribute, but everyone rejected it.
Although his legs have gotten much better over the past few days, he has not taken good care of them after all. He has been traveling all the time, and even riding in a donkey cart is bumpy.
He usually does some sitting work and is not allowed to move much, so his recovery is pretty good. But as the saying goes, it takes a hundred days to break the muscles and bones, and it is impossible to recover as before without two or three months.
Moreover, his leg did have some sequelae due to the delay. In addition, there is no medicine here, so there is still some redness and swelling on his leg.
However, there is no problem in walking back and forth with crutches. At least it is not like at the beginning when he had to have help when going to the toilet. Now he uses crutches and his other leg is intact, so he can take care of himself.
Qingyan and the four men who stayed vigil did not gather together to chat, but spread out, each guarding one direction.
Wang Kun was guarding the direction of the stream in the west. His side was actually the most dangerous. After all, many wild animals came out to drink water at night.
He has some skills and his eyesight will definitely be better than ordinary people, so it would be best to guard him there.
Qingyan and Yang Erzhuang guarded the north, the direction they came from, to prevent those people from coming again.
The two of them didn't chat with each other, so as not to disturb others' rest.
Qingyan used a stick to pick at the smoking fire. She had just filled in two pieces of firewood, but it had not yet ignited. There was a lot of smoke.
Fortunately, although there is a slight breeze now, it is blowing from the south. They don't have to worry about choking while sitting in the south.
While looking at the thunderous Mars, I was thinking about things.
Qingyan missed her parents, grandparents, grandparents, and brothers.
Counting the time, more than half a month has passed. She has never been separated from her family for such a long time.
In the past, even if my mother went on an overseas inspection and my father went on a business trip abroad, we could still meet in the space at night.
It's just that they are not at home on the surface, but in fact they have never been separated.
She also wanted to smell the little swans and piglets, and fan them.
Fenfen is a giant panda who was abandoned by her mother. Her parents picked it up in a bamboo forest when they went to Sichuan Province to play, and then raised it in the space.
When Fenfen was a little older, they went to Sichuan Province again, where they met two more pandas who followed their parents and the eldest brother refused to leave. Later, they were taken into the space by their parents.
One of the male pandas later became a couple with Fenfen. When she left, Fenfen was already pregnant. I wonder if she will have a baby panda now?
My parents said that when the panda was young, it was only the size of a mouse and was pink all over, so they gave Fenfen this name.
She had never seen it before and really wanted to go back and take a look.
Sigh... I originally wanted to come here to see the prosperity of the ancient times, but now I wander around the barren mountains and wilderness all day long, and I haven't even seen a town.
At this rate of progress, she might have to go back just after leaving the mountain, and she doesn’t know what she is here for...
