Chou Chou scratched his head in embarrassment, "How about I use my consciousness to steal a carriage for you from the military camp?" We will leave directly in the carriage. If we are tired on the road, we can take a rest in the carriage. "
Qingyan said hesitantly: "Then the carriages in the military camp won't be marked? Won't we get into trouble then?"
"I will take a closer look. As long as it is not a unified system, it is no problem if there is only a mark or something. If it is in an inconspicuous place, we can completely erase it."
Qingyan thought this was a good idea and nodded in approval.
Chou Chou searched the military camp with his consciousness, focusing on the area where horses and grain were stored. Generally, carriages would be placed nearby.
Sure enough, it found a dozen cars in the back where the grain and grass were stored, all of the same style. It didn't dare to move. Later, in a place where firewood was piled behind the cooking tent, it found a different car. .
It looks like it was temporarily requisitioned from somewhere to make up the numbers. It is very different from the other ones. It doesn't feel that strong. It should be for civilian use. I don't know if it is broken or temporarily unused and just abandoned there. .
Chou Chou took a closer look and saw that there were no marks on the carriage. He probably thought that it was used to make up the numbers when collecting food and grass. It was quite suitable for them to use.
After checking that there was no one around, he directly used his spiritual consciousness to place the car in the space first, and then placed it in front of Qingyan.
Qingyan was delighted when she saw the carriage, but she didn't expect to find it.
I walked up and down, looked left and right, even turned over the inside of the wheel and under the car, and found that there were indeed no marks, so I felt relieved.
Chou Chou said to her: "This carriage looks like it was abandoned there. I looked at it and found that there is actually nothing wrong with it at all."
Qingyan pointed to the shaft of the car and said: "There are no tools for tying a car on it, so we can't use it. See if there is a guy over there who can harness a car, and get one."
Chou Chou nodded, and once again put his consciousness into a tent near the stables, and collected a set of tools for harnessing the cart.
"This should be universal. I just made a set at random. There are more than a dozen pairs hanging over there, and there is one and a half sets missing. It should not be noticed. However, even if they are discovered, they will not be able to find us. , after all, the distance between here and there is quite far.”
Not to mention that here and there are two directions, they walked in the mountains for nearly a day before coming here.
Qingyan yoked the carriage according to the previous donkey-cart pattern. Anyway, they were all similar. After tacking them, she found that it was still OK.
After that, she tried putting the carriage shaft on Big Bear. Yes, it was just right. Her memory was really good. She remembered it after reading it once.
"Should we build a shed like the donkey cart again? The weather is quite cold now, and it can block the wind even if it doesn't block the sun.
But that should only happen when we get to the towns. After all, we don’t have mats and bamboo poles. The only thing we have now is straw curtains..."
Eh? No, straw curtains will do too!
Thinking of this, he said to Chou Chou: "Chou Chou, look on the mountain to see if there are any more flexible small trees. If there are any, just get a few. If we can't, we can build a frame with branches first, and then we can put the straw curtain down." If you put it up there, it can block some wind.
Let's just make do and move forward, and then we can change when we get to a town. If we really can't find a town, we can make do on the carriage tonight since we have a shed. "
Chou Chou used his spiritual consciousness to search in the woods, and directly found four slender trees and a few soft canes.
Qingyan looked at it and didn't know what kind of tree it was. After trying it, she found that the flexibility was quite good and it didn't break even when it was bent. That was fine.
Let Chou Chou take out the dagger, use the dagger to cut off the branches on the top, then use the dagger to make a few rectangular holes on the carriage frame, and trim both ends of the branches into rectangles slightly smaller than the rectangular holes. .
Then bend it into an arch shape and insert both sides. This is also a simple mortise and tenon structure. If there are no nails, it is relatively strong. At least it will not be blown off by a gust of wind. After it is inserted, there will still be some If it is loose, use the wooden wedges you just cut off to nail it in to reinforce it, so that it will be more difficult to pull it out.
Then do the same thing with the other ones one by one, making a total of five, and the frame of the shed comes out.
Because the carriage is larger than the donkey carriage, the shed is a little low, so it's okay to sit in it.
After finishing the frame, I stretched the rattan a few times to make it stronger. I took out the two straw mats and tied them to them with hemp ropes.
The straw mat was much thicker than the mat, and looked rougher, but it was still usable. Before tying the straw mat, she put a layer of plastic sheeting in the middle, so she wouldn't be afraid of it even if it rained.
The rain in late autumn is not like the rain in summer. If you really get wet, you will definitely get sick.
The only two straw mats have been used up, and now there is some trouble inside the car, as there is no more matting.
Alas, I once again regretted not storing a few quilts in the space, so I had to make do with a piece of fine cotton cloth in it.
Because it was exposed to the wind and sun, even if the carriage was cleaned, the wooden boards still felt dirty, so laying a layer of cloth would make it look more comfortable.
Touching the fine cotton cloth, Qingyan felt a little distressed in her heart. This was brand new. It was leftover from the clothes she had bought before. If she had known better, she should have bought some coarse cloth. At least she didn't feel so distressed.
But then I thought, as long as the cloth is not torn, it can still be used after washing, so it won't be so uncomfortable.
After finishing these things, the sun had set. Qingyan looked at her watch. It was already seven o'clock. Qingyan rubbed her belly and said to Chou Chou, "It shouldn't be a problem to light a fire here, right? Let's make something hot to eat. I'm hungry again."
Chou Chou nodded, "Then what do you want to eat? I'll catch a pheasant for you?"
Qingyan: "Okay, then let's have roast chicken tonight and bake a few eggs as a staple food."
They found a relatively high wasteland wall. Chou Chou used his spiritual consciousness to find some dry firewood, and then brought back a pheasant from the mountain.
Qingyan directly used a dagger to clean up the pheasant, buried the hair and internal organs, washed it with the tub and water ChouChou had made, and then lit a fire to roast it.
In fact, Qingyan wanted to make it into a beggar's chicken. Because there is loess here, it should be no problem to make the yellow mud for wrapping the pheasant. The problem is that there are no lotus leaves, so you can't directly wrap the mud on the chicken. I don't know how to make it. What does it smell like?
Fortunately, they still have a lot of seasonings on them, which were also stored in the Chou Chou space before. Coupled with the barbecue ingredients brought from later generations, the roast chicken is just right.
There was a pheasant roasting on the rack, and a few eggs were thrown into the fire. There was no way, they didn't have a pot, so it was impossible to boil the eggs.
Who told them that they didn't prepare these things at all? They were thinking about leaving soon and just bought gifts. They didn't have any of these daily necessities.
The dry firewood Chou Chou found were all from nearby branches. Unexpectedly, the woods were a little damp, but the firewood was dried out in the sun and there was not much smoke when lit.
It didn't take long for the pheasant to be ready, and the eggs in the fire were already cooked. She took out the eggs in advance and put them aside to dry, waiting for the pheasant to be roasted and eaten.
The roasted chicken was specially put with a little more barbecue seasoning, just to be eaten as a dish, just enough for one bite of egg and one bite of chicken, and it tasted pretty good.
I made up a dinner with Chou Chou and finished feeding the little leopards. By the way, one person and one animal also drank a bottle of milk, which was treated as water.
After that, the fire was buried with soil. When lighting the fire, a pit was dug, so it was very convenient to bury it. Just fill it back with the dug soil.
It was almost dark now, and what they used for lighting was the torch they had made from a thick branch.
Looking at the flames on the torch swaying in the wind, he said to Chou Chou: "When we get to the town, let's prepare some candles or lanterns. It's really inconvenient to have no flashlight at night."
Chou Chou also nodded. It is true that the wind is quite strong here. It's okay that they are inside the half-height wall. When they stand up, the torch blows, and it feels like the fire will be blown out immediately. , unable to illuminate at all.
He packed up his things and hitched the carriage to the bear again.
When they were eating just now, they didn't forget to get some young grass for the big bear, and also fed him some water from a wooden basin. This would be their main labor force in the future, so they couldn't be hungry or thirsty.
Qingyan and Chou Chou got into the carriage, put the little leopard in and let it find a place to lie down on its own, and then let the big bear walk towards the east.
There was no choice. To the north was the previous military camp, and to the south was a big river, so they could only go east now.
See if you can reach any town and find out what era it is now and what the specific situation is.
They were not in a hurry, so they didn't let the big bear run. It would be too bumpy and Qingyan couldn't bear it.
Qingyan sat in front holding a torch at first, but later she realized that she couldn't see the front at all, so she didn't bother and just put out the torch and walked on in the dark.
This torch is said to provide lighting, but in fact it is just a psychological comfort. The one who really sees the road is Chou Chou using his spiritual consciousness.
It scouted the road in advance and told the big bear how to go. Just follow the road and don't turn into a ditch.
Qingyan rubbed her sore arms. Her hands were so sore from holding the torch just now.
At first she wanted to tie it to the carport, but the wind was too strong and it would not be strong enough. Once the carport was set on fire, all the hard work would be in vain.
Qingyan persisted in sitting for a while, then she couldn't hold on any longer and simply lay down in the carriage.
Although the carriage was very bumpy, there was no shock absorption, and the road was full of potholes, she had been walking in the mountains for a day and was actually already tired. She fell asleep in a daze on such a bumpy road.
When Chou Chou saw that she was asleep, he asked the big bear to walk on a flat place as much as possible, and try to go around any rocks no matter how big or small they were.
It can only go so far. This car has no shock absorbers and no tires, so it is definitely noisy.
He stretched out his paws to feel the temperature, took out Qingyan's big down jacket from the space, and covered her with it.
He also took out a bundle of clothes and put it under her head as a pillow, so that it would be more comfortable without her head touching the carriage and avoid the discomfort of constantly banging her head.
Sure enough, Qingyan slept more soundly as a result, and she was now snoring.
Chou Chou felt a little distressed when he looked at it. This was because he had grown up little by little from a baby, and he had been pampered since he was a child. If he followed him out, he would be suffering from old age.
Like Xiangxiang, it has a lot of affection for the children of Xue Ming's family. This is the longest human contact they have had in millions of years, and they have always been treated as family members, so they are reluctant to let them go.
While Chou Chou was paying attention to Qing Yan, he was commanding Big Bear, and at the same time he was trying to explore as far away as possible to see if there were any towns. It could be said that he was doing three things at once.
The farthest distance that its spiritual consciousness can detect now is about ten kilometers. Now it can no longer see the previous military camp, which means that the military camp has been outside the range of its detection.
No towns or villages were found within ten kilometers ahead. Of course, it cannot be said that they were not found at all. It did find a few families in a mountain in the northeast, which looked like a small village. .
However, it feels like those families are hiding in the mountains and their lives are not good. Their houses are made of stone and thatch, and there are no fields around them. They probably make a living by hunting, so it doesn't help them much. There is no need. Even if you go into the mountains, you won't be able to change anything. That place is really negligible.
Moreover, the other party is already very poor. If Chou Chou steals their bedding or something, it will not be able to do it. Even if it gives them money after stealing, it will still have to be rich, and they will cover it themselves. You can't take a bed from someone else.
They walked like this for more than an hour. Because the road was bumpy, Da Xiong actually walked very slowly. He only walked less than twenty miles in more than an hour. It was already past eleven o'clock in the evening, and Qingyan had already I slept for more than two hours.
The road here was even worse than before. After hitting a few potholes, Qingyan woke up.
But after two hours of sleep, she felt much better than before.
I rubbed my eyes and sat up, looking at the moon outside. It should be sixteen today, so the moon was still very round. After I got used to the darkness, with the moon shining on me, I could still see some things in the distance.
Qingyan suddenly thought of something and said to Chou Chou: "Chou Chou, if this place were not the time and space of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms before, would the speed of time still be the same as that one? Can we still go back on time?"
Chou Chou was stunned by these words. He had not thought of this at all.
Yes, if another time and space is changed, will the flow rate of time change again? Can they still go back on time?
