After they settled down for the night, they were hardly sleepy. Since they couldn't sleep, they simply lit two small fires and sat there chatting together.
I always feel that it is too quiet here, and some voices can be less scary.
They were not chattering loudly, just in case there was any movement elsewhere. Their voices were too loud and could not be heard. They were ignored, or their voices were too loud, which would attract the bad guys. It's dangerous.
Qingyan and Chou Chou were sitting on the edge of a stone, far away from the fire. Of course, the fire was not big, it was just for lighting, they were not sitting very close, and it was not very hot.
Qingyan also found a topic and said to Yang Dashan: "Master Dashan, the people who left before you were not supposed to go in this direction. We also saw it when we came here. There were no footprints in front of us at all.
You have said before that the villagers have donkey carts and carts. It is impossible for them to pass through the mountains, so they must take this wider road.
When we entered the mountain before, except for some traces on the road at the beginning, they seemed to disappear soon. "
Yang Dashan and Yang Dawang nodded, "They should have gone another way. There is more than one road in the mountains on our side. Our road is heading due south, and the other road is heading southeast.
That road is wider than this one. It's on the mountain to the left of the main road that leads into the city. It can't be seen from the main road. It can intersect with the main road after walking for more than 20 miles. If we walk to the town, we always take that road. road. "
In fact, when they entered the mountain, there was a fork in the road not far away, and not far away there was a road, which was more hidden than the road they took.
Li Hao also asked curiously: "Why didn't you go that way, Mr. Dashan? If you go that way, you can still meet up with the people of your own village."
Although that way, he wouldn't be able to meet the three of them, but he was still a little curious.
Yang Dashan and Yang Dawang looked at each other and sighed: "We deliberately chose a different path and didn't want to join them.
Although we all belong to Yangjiaping Village and all have the surname Yang, when it comes down to it, we are actually not from the same family.
Like Shuan Zhu and Er Zhuang, they were the surnames that were later changed by my grandfather's generation. "
As for why he changed it, he couldn't say.
Qingyan and the others also noticed that there must be some hidden secrets inside, but since the other party didn't tell them, they didn't ask, since no one had a secret.
Yang Dashan sighed again and continued: "Our family is a descendant, and we are not taken seriously in the village. When they left, they asked us to follow them, but we are old and don't think about everything. Once we have nothing to do in the village, we might as well stay. At least the food in the village will be confiscated and we will not starve to death.
So we didn't go with us. If we caught up later, the villagers might not help us, and they might even ask us to hand over the grain we collected and the village chief would distribute it uniformly. "
Li Hao was stunned, "Is the village chief so overbearing?"
Yang Dashan shook his head and said: "That's not true. The main reason is that the village chief's family is a big family in the village. Most of the village is related to the village chief's family, so the village chief's words can be said to be echoed by a hundred people.
Besides, we were a few days late and collected food all night before leaving. If we caught up, their food would be almost finished, and the food we brought would be a bit dazzling.
If we don't tell them apart, they are all from the same village. Besides, when the time comes, it won't matter among the few of us. After all, our arms can't twist our thighs.
But if we were divided, no one would care about us when we finally had nothing to eat.
In addition to Miss Xue and Chou Chou, Chou Chou also rushed back a donkey cart and so many tools, which were very eye-catching and might be robbed.
And they won't be like us, they can go wherever they want. We have already determined the destination, and they are not only from our village of Yangjiaping, but also from other villages. They are all walking together. There are so many people talking. When the time comes, We may not be able to go anywhere, it would be better to leave on our own. "
Li Hao frowned, "This donkey cart belongs to the Xue family girl, how can they steal it openly?"
Yang Dashan and Yang Dawang didn't speak, and looked at him with complicated eyes.
It seems that this young man is well protected by his family.
After hearing this, Wang Kun and Wang Qian couldn't help but glance at their master with complicated expressions.
If it were normal, people in the village might still be a bit cautious, but now at this time, whoever cares about face can forget about it!
How could it be possible not to take advantage of her, especially seeing that Miss Xue was a single girl, and she might have some evil thoughts about her.
Yang Jiaping and others are thinking rightly.
Li Hao looked at the way they were looking at him, and after thinking about what he just said, he realized that what he said was a bit ill-considered.
He coughed slightly in embarrassment and changed the subject: "Are you still going to the capital? I'm afraid it won't be peaceful there, and it's not as good as other places."
Qingyan had something to say. She had not told Yang Dashan and the others before, mainly because she had no chance.
You can't sell someone's identity in front of Li Hao and the others.
It happened to take this opportunity to mention: "Why don't we take a look at the situation. If Handeng is relatively safe, it would be good to settle in Handeng."
Yang Dashan and others were stunned when they heard this, but they did not refute. In fact, they were a little scared at the time and just wanted to leave the village and find a safe place. They had not determined where exactly.
After all, plans can't keep up with changes. Even if the destination is determined, there's no telling what will happen on the way, so it's better to take it one step at a time.
