"Not all places are close to rivers, so many places are still short of water. It is impossible to carry water for irrigation. In addition, the county magistrate of Liufeng County previously ordered people to do hard labor, resulting in many deaths and injuries. Not to mention that the dams were not built, until May Everyone is allowed to go home at the beginning of the month."
"It was the time of spring plowing, and the family lacked strong laborers. How could they complete the work in the fields? They had suffered from the disaster last year, but now they had no food in the fields, and there was no relief from above, and they were trying every means to control their need for ice. Dear, why don’t you just force people to a dead end?”
Li Yuan pursed her lips and said nothing. Wang Can opened his mouth, and it took him a long time to say: "Then this is not the reason for them to fight and rob others!"
Bai Yan glanced at her and said, "That's the situation now anyway, so after entering Liufeng County, we have to avoid the official road. Everyone rests during the day, Zhou Zi and I will split up to explore the road, and rush on the road at night. You Let everyone cheer up, if everything goes well, we will be able to leave the boundaries of Liufeng County in five or six days."
"Okay, you can talk to Uncle Hua about this. He is the head of the village and the clan leader, so he must know the distance. Also, I think Zhou Zi and the others came here on horseback, and you also know that our Lijia'ao has to leave this time. There are more than 800 people, but the total number of oxen, horses and donkeys is only more than 30. Zhou Zi and the others have five horses. Please discuss with them to help pull a few carts."
"Okay, I'll arrange this! In addition, a small cart will be pulled by a horse. Some of the materials are overqualified. If there are carpenters in your clan, let them work harder, sleep less during the day, and drive out a few large carriages. . It’s not raining right now, so we can go anywhere, even if we sleep on the ground. If it rains, at least there will be a place to protect us from the rain when we sleep outdoors.”
"Okay! When you get out of the Xinyang Mansion, if you have a chance, buy some cows and horses. If not, you can use mules. Bai Yan, please talk to Uncle Hua about this by the way!"
"Um!"
When Bai Yan greeted Zhou Zi and others to go find Li Qinghua, Wang Can asked while eating pancakes: "Sister, the chaos right now is probably just in the counties in our Xinyang Prefecture. They have all left Xinyang Prefecture and entered Luyang Prefecture smoothly. The land is over, why do we still need to buy cattle and horses? Will my tribe be willing?"
"Yes! There are many towns in Luyang Prefecture that are close to the sea, and typhoons start to blow at the end of April every year. If you have cattle and horses, get a carriage to block the wind and rain. In addition, the Lanxia City we are going to is also close to the sea, and is only two miles away from Nanman. This is a small county town, and it rains more in summer than in Liuyun County in previous years. Furthermore, if you have cattle and horses at home, you can save a lot of effort when you go out to open up wasteland."
"Well, if they don't buy it, then I'll spend some money and buy a carriage too."
As Wang Can spoke, he approached Li Yuan and said softly: "Sister, when we leave the tribe and return to Xinyang Mansion, your tribe will not be around, and neither will my brother-in-law. Then the space will not be available. It would be a lot better if I had an extra carriage. ."
"You don't have to spend money to buy it. When we come back, won't there be a carriage from the Zhenguo Marquis' Mansion?"
"Sister, it's different! That carriage has to go back to the capital in the end. And the one I bought is mine. Besides, when my brother-in-law wins the election, don't we still have to go to the capital?"
As she spoke, she leaned into Li Yuan's ear and said in a breathy voice: "Brother Junzi and Caiwei Shasha don't know your space, sister. There are some things that are not very convenient for you to take. Then let Caiwei and Qing Sha shared a carriage with us. I would tell them that my brother-in-law has to study for the exam next year and needs to be quiet. If my brother-in-law is here, let Old Man Li drive the carriage then, sister, you don’t have to be so restrained. Besides, brother-in-law is not allowed to enter. Space? If you let him study in space, he doesn't have to worry about the bumpy journey all the way to the capital, and he won't be mentally exhausted or anything."
Li Yuan did not agree immediately and said: "We will see when the time comes. It is too early to say anything now."
"good!"
The Li clan members took this break and no one cooked anything. All they ate was what they had prepared at home.
When everyone had eaten, drank, and rested, they set off again.
This time, Li Qinghua's carriage took the lead, and the driver was Zhou Zi.
Li Yuan's carriage was driven by Li Rui. Bai Yan, who had been driving during the day, was lying on the carriage shaft, taking the opportunity to squint for a while.
In the carriage, Wang Can simply closed the carriage, and while urging Li Yuan to go into the space to sleep, he also turned on the electric fan and started sleeping.
Where did Li Yuan's spatial habits go in, and where they are when she comes out again.
In other words, the space she entered in the carriage was in the carriage when she came out again, regardless of whether the carriage was moving or not, and how far it had gone in the process.
Seeing Wang Can yawn, she made sure that the carriage was closed, and put all the things in the carriage into the space.
"Can Niang, then I'm going to sleep."
Wang Can lowered his voice and replied: "Okay, sister, go ahead. I'll call you if I need anything. Can you hear me?"
"right!"
"That's OK!"
Because she left with her clan members, Li Yuan did not sleep well in the space.
When she came out of the space, Wang Can also sat up.
"Sister, put your things out and I'll open the carriage."
"good!"
When Wang Can opened the carriage, he saw that the sky was starting to get bright.
The driver was replaced by Bai Yan, and there were two people lying on the carriage shaft.
One is Li Rui and the other is Li Duo.
She was silent for a moment, held onto the carriage, turned and looked back.
Even though the light was not very bright, she could still see clearly.
There were two or three people lying on the shaft of every bullock cart and horse-drawn carriage, let alone in the carriage.
The person who was still pushing the cart was panting, and the expression on his face seemed numb.
Li Yuan, who was in the carriage, followed the open door and saw her eldest and second brothers sleeping on the carriage shaft. She didn't need to think about it to know what the situation of those walking would be like.
After thinking about it, she waved to Wang Can: "Can Niang!"
Wang Can felt sour in his heart. Hearing this, he bent down and entered the carriage.
Seeing that she was hesitant to speak, Li Yuan said: "Can Niang, I will find a place to stop during the day for everyone to rest and sleep. I am going to make some herbal tea for everyone, please help me."
Although Li Yuan didn't mention Lingquan water, Wang Can knew what it meant based on their tacit understanding.
She nodded vigorously, and then sat down next to Li Yuan with a gloomy look on her face.
"Sister, I feel bad!"
"If you think about the past and now, don't you feel much better?"
Wang Can knew that Li Yuan meant the past life, so he remained silent.
Li Yuan patted her back lightly and said: "This is only the first night, and I didn't meet any robbers or anything like that, so it's pretty good. Canniang, think about what it was like when you came back in April. Now everyone Even though I’m a little tired, I don’t lack food or drink, and there are people to guide me and protect me. There are also cars for the elderly and children.”
