After turning into the trail and walking only a few hundred meters, Qingyan began to regret it. It was a little bumpy, it was almost to death!
She was swaying so much that she could predict the road while holding the car, not to mention the people in the car.
Didn't you see that the two children inside stopped chattering? This was not because they were overly excited, it was just because they were excited and they were afraid of biting their tongues.
Even the little leopard was howling and wanted to crawl out to be held by Qingyan.
Qingyan slowed down the car as much as possible, turned around and asked Xue Minghua, "Sister, are your legs okay?"
Xue Minghua shook his head and said, "It's okay. I put my legs on the quilt roll and didn't touch them."
Even though she said this, Qingyan could also tell that she must be feeling very uncomfortable, as there was a lot of sweat on her forehead.
Walking on this path, there is indeed shade from the trees, but this path is too difficult to walk, with a lot of gravel, because the path is in the woods, and it is not like a mountain road with ups and downs.
Today's woods are not like those of later generations. The woods are artificially planted and neat. The trees here grow in all directions, large and small. Many tree roots have grown into this path, making the car even more difficult. It was bumpy.
Qingyan sent a message to Chou Chou, "Chou Chou, why don't you ask the passing birds, if everything is okay, let's walk on the main road first. This road is so bumpy that I almost vomited out the apple I just ate. ”
Chou Chou replied: "Okay, then I'll go out."
Although it can communicate with Qingyan in the space, it is because the two of them have the same mind and are close to each other. It is still difficult to talk to the bird on the tree.
ChouChou HuaLuo immediately left the space and entered the satchel.
Fortunately, the satchel was on the left side, facing the outside of the car, so people inside the car couldn't see it. Otherwise, the bag would suddenly bulge, which would be really scary.
Qingyan held a fan in her hand and fanned herself vigorously. It was really not easy to rush around in the middle of the day. It was so hot that she was irritable.
Chou Chou first asked a few sparrows, but he didn't get anything out of the question. They had never flown out of the woods and stayed nearby.
She said to Qingyan: "We have to go forward and see if we can meet the kind of birds that like to travel far. The birds here have never seen the world."
Qingyan: "..."
A bird that has never seen the world? Okay, let's move forward.
After walking for a while, Chou Chou's voice came again, "Hey! Yanyan, did you know that there is a pair of magpies in the big nest on the tallest tree opposite, and they actually came from the capital.
The male bird said that there were many people in the capital, and the trees on the edge of the city were cut down to build houses, so they flew here. "
Qingyan: "When did they come? It's been a long time, so I don't know the situation on the road."
Chou Chou: "It didn't take long. They just came here two days ago. This nest is ready. I don't know what happened to the previous nest..."
While she was irritated, she was not in the mood to listen to a bird's lucky migration history, so she interrupted it and said, "Then did you ask it about the situation on the road?"
Chou Chou: "I asked, and they said there were a lot of people on the way here, all driving cars like us, and there were also many people walking and carrying burdens, all heading towards the capital."
Qingyan agreed: "Then let's just go for a walk on the road. Compared with the shade, I think the bumps are more uncomfortable. If we can't walk on the road then, I'll build a shed on top to cover it. "
Fortunately, in addition to the basket containing food, she also tied a basket behind the car with a lid on it. There was nothing inside. In fact, it was just a cover. It would be easier to take things out from inside later.
Chou Chou said: "Okay, then if you go further ahead, there will be a fork in the road more than a mile away. There is a small path that can lead to the main road."
Qingyan sighed: "Is this what you and the magpie asked about? This bird knows quite well."
Chou Chou said angrily: "Who are you looking down on? I used my spiritual sense to detect this. I can probably see two miles away now!"
Qingyan felt much better after hearing this. This was good news. The more powerful Chou Chou became, the more secure their safety would be.
So he pretended to be familiar with the road and said to the mother and son in the car: "Let's hold on for a while, I remember there is a fork in the road ahead, then we will turn to the main road.
I originally thought it would be cooler on the trail, but I didn't expect the road to be so bumpy and completely different from walking.
In this case, let's just go to the main road and walk faster. "
The three ladies were obviously relieved, their insides were really turned upside down.
Xue Minghua said hesitantly: "But the sun is too hot. Don't get too hot by then. Driving in the car is already hard enough for you, girl."
Qingyan waved her hands and said, "It's okay. I've thought about it. Before I go out, I will modify the car and build a pergola in front. It will also protect me from the sun."
She originally thought that wearing a straw hat would be enough, but she didn't expect that she just covered her face, and the sun was shining on her body, which still made her feel hot and uncomfortable.
There is an umbrella in Chou Chou Space. It is placed in the bag in case of rain. The problem is that it cannot be taken out at all.
Next, they walked forward another three to four hundred meters. They could already faintly see the fork in the road ahead, so they parked the car in a relatively flat place.
As soon as the car stopped, she jumped out of the car and said to the car: "Would you like to come down and take a walk? You have been sitting in the car for more than an hour. You must be tired, right?"
Sister, I'll help you down, and you can move around or go for a convenience. There are no such hidden places on the road.
During this period, because the Khitans from the north were released, many people ran south, and it was very inconvenient for the crowds on the official roads. "
When Xue Minghua heard this, he quickly lifted his legs and rubbed them out, and Qingyan helped him down.
Huan'er and Fulai jumped out happily and stood under a big tree and took a deep breath. It was still cooler outside, much cooler than inside the car.
Children can't sit still. They have been in the car for more than an hour from home to this place and are already very uncomfortable.
Children did not dare to run far away. After all, it was in the wilderness. Fortunately, it was midday and the field of vision was wide. The trees were not very dense, and people could be seen in the woods.
Qingyan first helped Xue Minghua to go behind a thick tree nearby for convenience. This was because they didn't drink much water on the way and only ate one apple.
After that, Xue Minghua walked back and forth for a few steps with a cane and one leg in the air. Then he leaned against a tree and watched two children picking some wild flowers and weeds by the roadside.
She is in a good mood now, feeling like she has regained her freedom, and her mood has become much more relaxed.
Even though this was a forest path with no people around, it still looked very comfortable. She hadn't seen this kind of woods for a long time.
Since marrying Chen Jiawang, she has been active on that street. Every day she is either doing housework and embroidering at home, or taking the embroidered work to the embroidery shop, exchanging money to buy some firewood, rice, oil and salt, and then continuing the embroidery when she returns home. The only thing that comes over and over again every day is that small area.
This time I came out and felt like the sea was vast and the sky was vast.
The same goes for the two children. The farthest place they have been is Nanshi. They went to buy rice and groceries with their mother or grandma. They have never left the city gate. This is the first time and the first time they have left the city. A visit to such a wild place.
The two children really had a great time playing, no matter whether it was hot or not, they chased after each other. From time to time, they would pick a weed and go back to ask their mother what kind of grass it was. Or occasionally they would pick a small flower when they saw it. Go back and insert it into your mother's head.
Xue Minghua interacted with them with a doting look on his face.
Qingyan was looking for suitable branches for a shed nearby. She wanted to look for long and thin ones. If they were too thick, the shed would be unbearable. The shed was originally made of bamboo poles and was not easy to fix.
There were many branches, but they were either too short or too brittle. I finally chose willow branches. Although this one is a bit soft, you can weave it together like a basket and fix it directly on the bamboo pole. Anyway, it only takes half a day. It doesn't need to be very strong.
This season is not like spring, with strong winds, and this car is not like a car. It drives too fast and can easily overturn the shed. There is no problem with using this.
She picked up long branches and cut them down with a dagger. The leaves on them were not removed, but were braided directly inside, making an oval shape, like the shed extending in front of a tricycle in later generations, which could just cover the top of her head.
I originally thought about getting a piece of cloth to tie on top, but then I found that there was a lot of thatch on the roadside, so I simply used this. I pulled the branches back and forth several times to create a frame, and then weaved the thatch into it. .
It doesn't need to be thickly woven like a straw mat, just a thin layer will do. However, it will be a bit heavy and the front will collapse a bit.
Qingyan thought for a while, then got two straight wooden sticks and fixed them vertically in the middle. This way it would not affect her sight, and it could also support the shed, saving a long time of bumps. fell down.
Later, the two children stopped running around and started watching Qingyan work, and helped deliver things from time to time. By the time the shed was ready, more than half an hour had passed.
I looked up at the position of the sun and roughly guessed that it should be around two o'clock in the afternoon.
He helped Xue Minghua get into the car, padded her legs, and the two children got into the car on their own.
After running around outside, there was a lot of dirt on them, so Qingyan asked the three of them to take off their shoes and put them directly in a small basket hanging under the shaft of the car.
That basket was originally used to put grass for the donkeys, but now it is empty, because there is basically no shortage of young grass along the road, and it is just in use now.
Qingyan sat in the car and tried out the shed. Well, it could just cover her upper body.
Qingyan thought for a moment and realized that she didn't have to put her legs under the car. Why should she learn other people's driving methods?
The donkey pulling the cart is basically controlled by Chou Chou. Chou Chou controls the direction, and it just needs to follow the direction towards the capital.
Of course, the little donkey doesn't know which direction the capital is, but Chou Chou can communicate with it. She said it was Qingyan driving the car, but in fact it was just a show. Didn't you see that she didn't even have a whip in her hand? Shot by hand.
When she thought of it, she simply put her feet away, leaned her upper body directly on the car's shaft, and sat with her legs crossed. As long as she was exposed, the shed would cover her directly.
Then he said to Chou Chou: "Let's go."
Then he shouted to the donkey, "Drive!"
In fact, Chou Chou was secretly giving orders with his spiritual consciousness, and the little donkey walked forward honestly.
Qingyan picked up the fan and started fanning herself again. Well, it was indeed much more comfortable this way.
Because I knew that there was a fork in the road not far ahead, it seemed that the bumps were not that severe.
After walking two or three hundred meters, we reached a fork in the road. The fork in the road went to the right. There were trees on both sides, providing shade. However, the road was very narrow. Their donkey cart would be able to pass it. Fortunately, the cart was not wide. If No matter how wide it is, it will be blocked by the trees on both sides.
After reaching the fork in the road, we walked nearly a mile, that is, a distance of four to five hundred meters, and unexpectedly discovered a small river.
Of course, it doesn't mean that this river blocks the way. That river runs east-west. They are walking from north to south now, just following that river.
This path is on a slope, and the river is at the bottom. Judging from the green water, it must be quite deep.
When the two children heard that there was a river, they both stuck their heads out and looked out. Fulai said to Qingyan, "Auntie, this is the river! It turns out that the river water is like this! I have only seen wells."
Huan'er also echoed: "Yes, there are only wells in the city, and I have never seen a river."
Although Xue Minghua was quite curious and wanted to take a look, her legs were inconvenient, so she had no choice but to give up and listen to her children describing the appearance of the river with a smile on her face.
The next step was along the river, and after walking for more than three miles, we finally reached the main road.
Then Qingyan discovered that they happened to have bypassed a stone bridge. Because the river crossed the road, a bridge was built there.
And when they came from the path, they happened to bypass the bridge.
I don’t know if it’s because it’s noon, but after I got to the official road, it was actually empty, and I didn’t see anyone.
Qingyan said to Chou Chou in confusion: "Chou Chou, what's going on? Didn't Magpie say that there are many people on the official road? There is no one here."
Chou Chou lazily turned over in his satchel before replying: "Yes, there is a group of people not far ahead. There are a few big trees over there. Those people eat dry food and enjoy the cool air there.
Further forward, there was another group of people. Like this group of people, they also found a place with trees, and a few spread a mat on the ground to rest. "
Qingyan thought that people seemed to be in no hurry to leave, and wanted to wait until the sun was not so bright before leaving.
In fact, when they get here, they can also find a place to rest and wait until it gets cooler before leaving.
It's just that she doesn't have much time. The earlier she arrives in the capital, the earlier she can help Xue Minghua and the others settle down, so that it's not too late.
Thank you "Snowman Sister" for your reward support!
Thanks to "Ling Ling Qi" for your reward support!
