Thinking of this, Qingyan felt that they should speed up their pace in the future. It was almost fifteen, and she would have to leave by then. There would be no time to see anything, no time to buy anything, thank you.
I don’t know how far it is from the town, so I’ll ask Chou Chou to ask the passing birds on the way to get an idea.
I want to ask her why she doesn't go with Li Hao if she is in such a hurry?
Of course, it's because if you go with them, you won't be able to leave halfway, and you can't disappear suddenly. The other person is the son of a general. If you tell others, there is a high probability that others won't suspect it, then you won't be written into history.
If he followed the people in Yangjiaping, he could find a reason to say that he was in an emergency, or that he had seen the message left by his family and wanted to meet up with his family, and they probably wouldn't have too many suspicions.
It's best to part ways with Li Hao now. Even if he returns to the capital later and goes to Xue's house and finds out that she is not there, he will only think that she lied and used a false name. He shouldn't think too much about it. .
At this time, Wang Linyan's voice was heard, "It seems that this man was bitten to death by a poisonous snake, there was no smell, and the time should not exceed two days.
I don’t know where he died before? He was actually dragged back by the little monkey.
That little monkey is really powerful. Such a small monkey can drag such a big person. "
Qingyan and Chou Chou looked at each other, but they ignored this.
I was used to being in front of everyone in Yangjiaping and Li Hao before, and I had forgotten how outrageous it would be in the eyes of strangers.
How to explain it now? Will the other party take it away?
Qingyan's hand holding it tightened subconsciously.
"Miss Xue, I wonder if you can let your little monkey help lead the way. I want to see where the body is and see if there are any other clues left there."
She was still thinking about how to cover Chou Chou, but Wang Linyan had already walked over.
Qingyan looked at Chou Chou and pretended to repeat it.
Chou Chou raised his head to look at her, nodded, pointed in the direction of the wasteland with his paw, and then rushed to Wang Linyan's head.
Qingyan was startled and reached out to pull it off.
Wang Linyan laughed and stopped her, raised his hand to support it, "It doesn't matter, it didn't stretch out its claws, let's just go there like this. Your name is Chou Chou, right? Can you show me the way?"
Chou Chou stayed on his head for a while, then went down to his shoulders, found a comfortable position and squatted down, made two "squeaking" sounds, stretched out his paws and pointed in one direction.
Qingyan's eyes twitched. This guy Chou Chou was just angry that the other person called him a little monkey, so he would go to someone's head and act wild for a while.
Unexpectedly, Vice General Wang had a good temper and was not angry at all.
Then I saw Wang Linyan carrying Chou Chou on his shoulder, leading a few people in the direction it pointed.
Everyone in Yangjiaping wanted to laugh looking at that image, but looking at the soldiers around them, they didn't dare to laugh out loud. After all, that was their leader, and it didn't seem good for them to laugh.
Li Hao was also a little curious, so he went with Wang Kun.
Wang Qian stayed. Although they were all Li Hao's bodyguards, he knew that his master valued this girl Xue very much, so he stayed to take care of her.
Although there are still dozens of soldiers here, there will be no danger if he doesn't stay here, but after all, those sergeants have just arrived and are not familiar with everyone in Yangjiaping. With him, a familiar person staying, they can also help both sides quickly Become familiar.
They didn't know how long they were going to go, and it wasn't a problem for so many people to stand on the road. They simply led the cars and horses to the place where they rested yesterday and let the animals eat grass and drink water.
Qingyan took the little leopard back into Heidan's hands, walked to the open space on the side and put it down, letting it go there to urinate and poop.
After feeding in the morning, before they had time to let the little leopard go to the toilet, they heard the sound and left immediately.
Just when I saw the little leopard twisting its head back and forth in Heidan's arms, I knew that this guy probably needed to go to the toilet.
Sure enough, the little leopard immediately sniffed the ground, turned around in a circle, then dug twice with its front paws, dug out a small hole, and squatted there to pull up the daddy.
A little leopard is very similar to a child. If you set the time for eating and going to the toilet, it will form a habit.
Every time after feeding, he will go to the toilet after a while, and he will not urinate everywhere.
After finishing pooping, the little leopard would bury it with soil.
Qingyan picked it up, took out a piece of rabbit skin specially used for wiping it, wetted it with water, wiped its paws and butt, and put it back in Hei Dan's arms.
I also sat on the carriage, listening to distant sounds, wanting to hear if Wang Linyan and the others had made any new discoveries.
At this time, Yang Dashan came over and whispered to Qingyan: "Miss Xue, Mr. Li just said goodbye to us and said that they were going to Handeng first and wanted Miss Xue to go with them. Why don't you go with them?
You don't need to worry about us. We are already on the main road. Handeng should be not far ahead. It doesn't matter if we walk slowly. "
This was what Yang Dashan was thinking. Qingyan was indeed dragged down by walking with them. It would be much easier and safer to leave first with Li Hao and others.
Originally we were not related to them, so it was enough to protect them until they got here, and it was not good for them to continue to drag each other down.
Qingyan shook her head and said: "My destination was not Handcheng in the first place. I just went out to travel. I am traveling everywhere, so there is no need to rush.
Moreover, the current situation has changed. It is very likely that you will meet family members on the road, or messages left by family members. I am afraid that you will miss it if you leave early. It is better to walk slowly with you. "
When Yang Dashan heard what she said, he nodded to express his understanding, as long as he and others did not drag the other party down.
By the time Wang Linyan and others came back, nearly an hour had passed.
Chou Chou said before that it was only about a mile there, so the distance was not far. They must have been searching there for a long time, or they had followed the man's footprints back, and they came back after finding nothing.
Sure enough, Wang Linyan returned Chou Chou to Qingyan and said, "We found his baggage, and there was a road guide in it, but the road guide looked fake. It seems that the identity of this person cannot be found.
In such a hot day, it was not an option to expose his body to the wilderness like this, so we might as well bury him. No matter what his status was, death was the most important thing, so he could be buried in peace. "
Qingyan also felt that this was the best. It was not okay to litter the bodies, so it was better to bury them.
Wang Linyan called a few soldiers and borrowed the tools of everyone in Yangjiaping. He found a relatively easy place to dig among the weeds, dug a deep pit and put the body in it.
First, the body was covered with a layer of grass and then buried in soil.
Of course, there is no grave head or tombstone. If you don’t know who the person is, you can leave a grave head so that no one thinks there are any burial objects inside and then digs it up.
It would be better to just bury it without leaving any mark.
Busy there, Chou Chou nested in Qingyan's arms and said to her: "After arriving at the place where I found the body, in addition to picking up the baggage, we followed his footprints for two or three miles, but nothing was found. Back.
But it’s not in vain, I still gained something. "
Qingyan looked at it and saw a look on its face, "Ask me, ask me, ask me." She said in a good-natured way: "What did you gain?"
Chou Chou said mysteriously: "On the way back, I found the rabbit nest of the two rabbits before. There were several half-grown rabbits in it. They asked me to serve them in a pot and put them directly into the space. Hehe... "
Qingyan narrowed her eyes and asked, "Has your consciousness recovered?"
Chou Chou was choked on what he said next, and looked at Qing Yan with a twinkling look.
Qingyan said clearly: "Let me tell you, before you could only receive the space through physical contact. Since you said that the rabbit was in the rabbit's nest, how did you see it?
You guy, you still want to hide it from me. It's really too much. How much has your consciousness been restored? Don't lie to me, or I will ignore you from now on. "
Chou Chou really liked this and said quickly: "I'm not lying to you, I only discovered this when I was chasing rabbits today and tried to find rabbits.
However, I haven't recovered much. It can only cover a mile at most. As long as it is within the range that my spiritual consciousness can cover, I can collect things. "
Qingyan was still a little happy about this. Chou Chou had regained consciousness, so their safety would be more secure.
If they are really in danger, Chou Chou can put away the opponent's weapons, which is better than fighting them with real swords and guns.
Qingyan doesn't have much actual combat experience. When she killed the Khitans before, she relied on sneak attacks, and the main force was Chou Chou.
If the opponent is on guard, even if the two of them can fight, they will probably suffer some injuries. If the opponent has more people, they may not be able to survive.
It would be better if Chou Chou's spiritual consciousness can be restored more, and the force value will definitely be enhanced. Then they will be confident.
After all, there are no thermal weapons yet, so there is no need to worry about someone attacking them from a distance.
As for bows and arrows, they are not afraid at all.
Thinking of this, Qingyan's mood improved a lot.
"..."
I thought I was going to part ways with Li Hao and the others soon, but I didn't expect Wang Linyan to say that they had come all the way here. It was a day and night journey without much rest. It happened that I saw the Third Young Master now, and I felt relieved. It was just right. After some repairs, I also had breakfast.
So I just packed up everyone and returned to the camping place before. Fortunately, the body was buried on the other side, at least it was not so uncomfortable.
The sergeants took out the pots and stoves. This was considered a long-distance march. Pots and stoves were also necessary, and they also carried food with them.
The infantry at the back were tied to the body, and the soldiers were placed on horseback. Of course, more were placed on horseback.
It happened that Chou Chou had shot two rabbits before, so Qingyan decided to give them to them.
The sergeants expressed their gratitude and made a big pot of rabbit porridge. There was no other way. The weather was not suitable for making dry food. It would spoil after a day of traveling, so everyone had to eat raw food.
It is unrealistic to eat dry rice or steamed buns and pancakes. The fastest way is to make porridge.
With this rabbit meat, it tastes much better. When the porridge was ready, everyone in Yangjiaping swallowed subconsciously.
Although they had just eaten, in order to save food, they only ate about six or seven times full. Now that the taste came out, they couldn't help but swallow.
Wang Linyan saw it and said enthusiastically: "Come on, come on, let's use some together. We have made a lot, enough to eat."
They cooked five large pots in total, and the pots they brought were copper pots, unlike their earthen pots, which couldn't hold much.
Everyone in Yangjiaping declined and prepared to go further away.
Later, they were stopped by Wang Linyan and Li Hao, and the soldiers over there were already ready.
The two parties declined again, but in the end everyone in Yangjiaping compromised and each person got another bowl.
It was originally a full bowl, but they poured back half a bowl. They had already eaten it anyway, and were embarrassed to eat too much. Just try it to satisfy their craving.
Qingyan couldn't eat anymore after half a bowl. Seeing that they were eating slowly and it would take a while, she took a basket and went to the river to catch fish.
When I was cleaning the little leopard, I found a few palm-sized fish, so I might as well catch some to eat at night.
I dug up a few earthworms by the river, threw them into a basket, and placed them directly on the bottom of the river.
Today's river water is not like that of later generations. Most of it is crystal clear. As long as the mud at the bottom is not stirred up, you can completely see whether the fish can enter the basket.
This is the edge of the river, which is not deep. The middle part should be deeper, but they won't run into the middle.
This river is quite wide, measuring dozens of meters by visual inspection. I don’t know if it is a tributary of the Yellow River or if this is the Yellow River.
She has turned a little now. Only when she sees the sun rising can she tell the difference between east, west and north. She only knows that the river should run east to west.
Chou Chou laughed at her, "It's weird that you can catch fish like this. The mouth of the basket is so big, and the fish ran away as soon as you mentioned it."
Just as she was talking, she saw a fish running into the basket. Qingyan glanced at it proudly, snorted softly, and suddenly lifted the basket, and the fish... ran away.
Chou Chou pointed a little paw at her, covered his stomach with one paw and laughed hard.
Listening to the harsh laughter in her head, Qingyan took a deep breath before pressing down the Three-Character Sutra to her lips.
I dug up a few earthworms again and put the basket in.
This time two were put in, but when she lifted the basket, it was still empty.
Frustrated, I took out the basket and thought, why don't I go find someone else to do it? Change to one with a smaller mouth, but their guy seems to have no utensils with a small mouth except the jar.
Looking at Chouchou who was still squeaking and laughing, coupled with the noise in his head, it felt like he was being slapped into the water and made to dive in to catch him!
Chou Chou saw her squinting at it, finally stopped laughing, and said with a groan: "Don't be angry, I will help you, I will definitely catch a lot of fish. You put the basket in the water, and I will take care of the rest." of."
