I originally thought I could travel more on this day, but ended up spending almost the entire afternoon collecting things and opening shells at the lake.
The harvest was quite good. I got a bunch of fresh ingredients and a small bag of pearls.
In the evening, they cooked directly in the space, frying snails and wild rice. The fried wild rice used the fat pork that had been saved before.
She didn't know whether it was because the wild wild rice was fresher, or whether it was because she hadn't eaten it for a long time, but the taste was so delicious that Qingyan couldn't help but eat an extra bowl of rice.
Oh, by the way, since arriving in the south, their staple food has become rice as the local customs do.
After buying some rice seeds in the city, Jin Yang asked four bears to cultivate a paddy field by the lake. The seeds have been planted in it to grow seedlings. When they grow, they may be able to eat rice with spiritual energy.
The sesame seed cakes and steamed buns that I had saved before were taken out for emergency use when I was on the road and didn’t want to cook.
Now, as long as they have time, they will go into the space to make some good food to reward themselves, and rarely make do with it.
All we ate at lunch was fish, but we changed the taste in the evening. Instead of making fish dishes, we stewed crucian carp soup, which was milky white and very delicious.
They didn't go out again after that, and simply rested in the space. It wouldn't be too late to start their journey again tomorrow morning.
As a result, when they slept until midnight, Chou Chou pushed Qing Yan awake and said that a convoy was coming outside, and they set up camp on the hillside not far from the lake.
If I go out early tomorrow morning, I'm afraid I won't be able to go out from the lake and will have to change places.
Also, it is raining outside. The reason why those people set up camp here is because of the rain. It is raining heavily, almost moderate rain. It is really troublesome to travel in this kind of rain, especially in winter. , once you get wet, it will really feel chilly.
After a while, Chou Chou said that there was a strong wind outside and it had turned into sleet. This showed how fast the temperature outside dropped.
Qingyan turned over in the warm quilt. Fortunately, they could rest in the space. If it was like before, even if they took out the wooden house or slept in a carriage with a charcoal stove, they would not be as good as now. So comfortable.
Thinking of the people camping outside in the rain, snow and strong wind, even though she couldn't see the situation outside, she could still imagine the uncomfortable scene.
She found that as long as she compared herself with those unlucky people, she felt that her happiness was overwhelming. She was so bad~
Thinking about Qingyan, she fell asleep again, and when she woke up again, it was already bright.
Because day and night are clearly distinguishable in the space, there is no need to look at the watch to guess what time it is outside, since they are all synchronized anyway.
A few people had breakfast in the space and hooked up the carriage, when they heard Chou Chou say: "It's been freezing rain all night, and the road outside is slippery. There are many tree hangings hanging on the trees, even on the lake." There is a thin layer of ice on it, so it would be unwise to rush on now.”
You must know that this freezing rain is not like snow. If the snow is thick, you can use sleds to slide. However, after this freezing rain, there is only a thin layer of ice on the ground. People and horses cannot walk on it. If you walk out and slip away, you may lose your life. To slip.
Qingyan: "Then wait until noon and see if the rising temperature can melt the ground."
Chou Chou: "The convoy outside should have the same idea as ours. They are still resting on the hillside and there is no sign of starting."
Qingyan was very curious about who was in the convoy outside. Chou Chou said it was a caravan, probably the kind of merchants who transported goods from the north to the south.
They were driving an ox cart, and there were more than a dozen cars in the group. Judging from the complete set of tents and stoves, they must have been sleeping in the wild often and were very experienced.
They spent the next morning playing around in the space. Jin Yang and Huang Huang went to the mountains to shear sheep, while Qingyan sat in the yard knitting socks in the sun.
I had only knitted one piece before, and there is still one piece left unfinished.
Chou Chou and Yuan Bao were also very active and helped clean the wool that Jin Yang and his wife brought back.
In fact, not only wool, but also rabbit hair can be spun into thread. Qingyan said that cotton thread is better.
But they didn't buy cotton seeds. If they could buy cotton seeds before, they could plant some cotton directly in the space. Then they would use cotton threads to knit socks, which would probably be comfortable to wear.
Speaking of which, when we get to the south, let alone cotton seeds, we won’t even be able to buy cotton.
The main thing is that if it is planted, it has not been spread here yet, and the resale cannot reach here at all, and it will be robbed over there in the capital.
Most of the fabrics used here are coarse cloth and satin, and there are not many cotton cloths. Don't even think about cotton jackets and quilts. The demand in the north exceeds supply.
Besides, the further south you go, the warmer it gets, and you almost don’t need thick cotton-padded jackets. Most of the time, you just wear clothes with silk or animal hair wadding inside.
As for quilts, thin quilts are enough. They are used here in Central China, but the quilts used here also contain some plants broken into fiber shapes, and some fluff is added inside. They are thick and hard, and not How to keep warm.
Of course, it goes without saying that rich people use silk quilts or real fur quilts.
Qingyan spent the whole morning not only knitting the other sock, but also starting over and knitting another half.
Of course, the first pair of socks is for myself to wear. Although they are not very pretty, they are of commemorative significance.
I tried it on my feet and found it was a bit fat. After all, I didn’t have a good grip on the hand the first time. In addition, the thickness of the thread was uneven, so there were inevitably some small holes in the middle, but overall it was good, at least. Much more comfortable than the loose cotton tube.
The second pair we knitted next was for Chou Chou, which Chou Chou strongly requested. He also said that the two of them should be the best in the world, and others could not surpass them.
Of course Qingyan would not refuse. Compared to Jin Yang and the others, she was still closest to Chou Chou.
This pair is knitted according to the size of ordinary men's feet. Anyway, the size of their feet can change. Just knit according to about forty yards.
It wasn't until after lunch and a short nap that Chou Chou said he could go outside, and those people had already left.
They did not go out where they entered the space. The lake was very slippery now, and they had to kick their feet in mud when walking. Instead, they went directly over the previous hillside and came out on the other side.
There are no villages in this area, so as long as they don't run into pedestrians, there is no risk of exposure wherever they go.
After coming out, Qingyan couldn't help but use her spiritual consciousness to look at the hillside where Chou Chou mentioned that the people had stayed. Sure enough, there were signs of living there. Other places were wet, but the place where they pitched their tents was dry, which was very conspicuous. .
There were still ashes from several fires in the middle. The ground was still wet from the rain, so we were not afraid of residual sparks after burning, so we did not bury them with soil.
Qingyan tidied the things on the carriage and put the spirit stone lamp inside for lighting. Chou Chou drove the carriage in front, so she sat directly in the carriage and continued knitting socks, planning to knit this pair today.
The second pair is much more skillful to weave than the first pair, and the threads spun later are much more even, so the finished product of the second pair is much better than the first pair.
The carriage moved forward for more than an hour. Qingyan took a sip of water and just put down the cup when the carriage suddenly jolted violently, causing her to almost be pricked by the sweater needle on her leg.
He quickly put it aside, opened the compartment door and looked outside.
"What's wrong? Isn't it hard to walk here?"
Chou Chou shook his head and said: "The road here is quite flat. I don't know what happened but it suddenly trembled. There might be an earthquake somewhere nearby."
Qingyan was a little surprised. She didn't expect that they could encounter an earthquake. She looked at the surrounding environment with her spiritual consciousness. They now reached a mountain pass and were about to enter a road built between two mountains.
The mountains here are generally not very high, only a few dozen meters to the top. Of course, it may also be because official roads are not built in places with high mountains.
There are many trees and rocks on the mountain here, and occasionally you can encounter small streams flowing through it. The scenery is actually pretty good.
Since coming here, they don't have to worry about the water source. They don't have to fetch water from inside the space. There is plenty of water outside, which is enough.
Almost not far away you can see a pool or a lake, creeks and countless rivers.
Huang Jin drove a car next to them and asked what was going on. They also felt the shock just now.
According to the geographical location, this should not be a place prone to earthquakes. They usually occur in places with many mountains or water. No, there seems to be a lot of water here.
They did not dare to continue walking forward. There were mountain walls on both sides in front of them. They were walking in the middle. If there was another earthquake and the rocks rolled down from the mountain, they would be easily hit.
Although they can hide in the space to avoid danger, but in case of accidents, sometimes accidents are called accidents because they are hard to prevent, so they still stay in this open space and wait for a while.
They all looked around with their spiritual consciousness. Chou Chou looked underground to see where the earthquake was. Chou Chou looked underground to see if the source of the earthquake was deep underground.
The more Qingyan looked at it, the more strange it became. It should be said that animals would be more sensitive to such natural phenomena, especially natural disasters.
But she found that wherever she explored, the animals were all leisurely and carefree, and there was no sign of panic or running around.
Even the birds in the woods did not fly. At most, they could only fly from one tree to another.
This is strange, but the feeling just now should be correct. The road here is flat and there are no potholes, so the tremor just now is definitely not related to the road.
And not to mention these small animals in the mountains, in their line of work, they are ancient beasts, demonic beasts, and the inherited Golden Crow, but they haven't sensed it. Isn't it even more strange?
After taking back his spiritual consciousness, he communicated with Jin Yang and Yuanbao Huang, and then they all looked at Chou Chou to see what they found.
Jin Yang also used his spiritual consciousness to explore the underground, but the range covered by his spiritual consciousness was limited and he didn't see any problems at all.
After waiting for a while, Chou Chou opened his eyes and saw that they were all looking at him. He didn't show any concern and said directly: "I have explored the underground nearby. The tremor just now is not the cause of the earthquake, but the cause of our right hand." There is a tomb under this hillside that has just collapsed.
This place shouldn't have been a hillside before, but mounds piled up during the construction of the mausoleum. The entire mountain was a cemetery. There must have been water accumulation inside all year round, and the walls were badly soaked. Today they finally couldn't hold up and collapsed. "
They looked to the right and found that there was a lake not far from the edge of the hillside. The water in the tomb might have seeped into it.
The space inside the tomb should be quite large, otherwise the movement wouldn't be so loud, but it's just not visible from the outside, and I don't know how deep the tomb is.
"Isn't this mountain hollowed out? Is it filled with water? Can you tell which emperor, general and minister's tomb it is?"
Qingyan curiously asked Chou Chou that such a large scale was definitely not for ordinary people, and ordinary officials probably would not dare to build such a large tomb.
Even if the mountain is not very big, it is still the same. At least it should be the kind of feudal official or a prince who dominates a place.
Chou Chou: "The whole thing below is a tomb. Looking at the records on the stone tablet next to the coffin, this should be a tomb from the Han Dynasty. The words engraved on the front are the governor of Jingzhou, Nanjun. The name has been smashed by the stone wall and can no longer be seen.
As for the tomb of a governor of Yizhou, it should be about the same size. He may have belonged to a powerful family, and there were many funerary objects inside. Unfortunately, most of them are now destroyed. "
The entire stone wall inside broke, and the top of the tomb fell directly. Except for the piece of stone that was supported by the coffin, all other parts were buried.
Not to mention pottery and jade, many gold, silver, and copperwares have been smashed or deformed. Even if they are not deformed, they are actually rusty after being soaked for who knows how many years.
Qingyan couldn't help but said to Chou Chou: "Can we still save some? It doesn't matter if we can keep some, these are all cultural relics. It doesn't matter if we save some and put them in museums in the future, they are all witnesses of history. ."
Chou Chou nodded. "The main tomb is the most severely damaged. There are many in other tombs, but they are not as valuable as the main tomb. I will take out some of the damaged ones and see if they can be repaired."
Chou Chou directly collects everything that can move into its space, where time is still and can be sorted out when there is time.
After collecting them, they knew it was not an earthquake and there was no danger on the road, so they continued on their way.
There was a town ahead not long after walking. There were many villages nearby, so there were quite a lot of people in this town.
The location of the town is different from other places. It is surrounded by water on three sides and backed by mountains. To enter the town, you have to cross the bridge or take a boat. The name is also quite interesting. It is called Shuihuan Town. The name is very vivid when you hear it.
There was supposed to be a market today, and there were so many vendors setting up stalls that Qingyan and the others couldn't help but walk into the town.
