Wang Can sighed quietly, then nodded and said nothing.
While the two were silent, the sky became brighter and brighter, and the clouds in the east gradually turned red.
The scope of the red cloud gradually expands, and the color becomes redder and redder.
Not long after, the sun emerged from the horizon.
The originally peaceful atmosphere surrounded by green mountains and with birds flying freely seemed to be broken by the warm sun.
Bai Yan, who was driving the carriage, asked Li Qinghua who emerged from the first carriage: "Chief Li, the sun has come out. Should you find a place to rest or continue walking for a while?"
Li Qinghua stood on the shaft of the car, looking at the long line of people behind him, and replied without thinking: "The sun has just come out and it's not very hot yet. It's still the boundary of Liuyun County. We can walk as much as possible." . When we get out of Liuyun County, it will be difficult for us to live as peacefully as we do now!"
After he said this, he raised his voice and shouted to the people who had stopped to rest twice throughout the night: "Folks, the sun has come out at dawn. Let's hurry up as much as possible while it's not too hot yet. After waiting When the time comes, find a place to stop and renovate!"
When Li Yuan heard Li Qinghua's voice, she walked out of the carriage and turned to look at the people who were still walking in the distance with numb faces.
"Everyone can walk as much as possible. If you can't walk anymore, just say it and let's find a place to rest. In this way, I will ask people to find out if there are streams on the mountains on both sides of the official road. If there are, we will Just go over there and set up cooking. If not, find a place where you can get some shade."
Everyone in Lijia'ao, every household, is pushing at least two carts.
Although both young and old ride in bullock carts or horse-drawn carriages, those who walk are basically young and strong laborers.
But walking uphill like this is really too much.
Men may be better off, but women's physical strength is ultimately a little worse.
The reason why they can continue walking now is due to perseverance.
In just one night, their straw sandals had already worn out, and they had countless blisters on their feet.
They don't dare to stop because they are afraid that if they stop, they won't want to leave.
Hearing Li Yuan's words, someone raised his voice and replied: "Mother Yuan, it's our first day on the road, so we may not be used to it yet. We are very tired right now. Please ask someone to find a place to rest first. We want to hurry up after dinner." Get some sleep and remove the blisters on your feet, otherwise you won’t be able to continue walking at night.”
"good!"
After Li Yuan responded, she looked at Bai Yan: "Bai Yan, our carriage has the fewest people. Let's go and see if there is any water source nearby. If not, find a forest with lush vegetation. We have few people and we have brought medicine, so we are not afraid. There are insects and snakes.”
"OK!"
Bai Yan responded, looked back at the sleeping brothers Li Duo and Li Rui, then waved his whip and stopped walking slowly.
When the carriage passed Li Qinghua's carriage, Li Yuan turned around and said to him: "Uncle Hua, let's find a place to rest first and come back in an hour at the latest. There is no one on the official road right now. If everyone can't stand it, you go first Stop and rest, let everyone drink water, have a rest, and feed the cows and horses by the way."
"Okay, just go and I'll settle here!"
Every time Li Yuan traveled between Fucheng and Liuyun County, she took the official road and took a horse-drawn carriage. She had no idea what the mountain roads on both sides of the official road were like.
Fortunately, Wang Can had walked through it in her previous life. Even if she didn't leave at this time in her previous life, she still had some impression of what it was like.
After Li Yuan sat back in the carriage, she bowed her head in Li Yuan's ear and said in a breathy voice: "Sister, I left half a month later than we do now in my last life. From Shuiyun Village to here, it takes a full walk It lasted three days. I remember walking forward for about half an hour, and there were three big camphor trees on the right. Walking straight in the direction of the big camphor trees, I passed by a bamboo forest. About a mile away from the bamboo forest, there was a small stream. Our place It rains heavily and the water in the stream is very big. We are half a month early and we don’t know what it will be like. Why don’t we go and have a look?”
Li Yuan was moved and asked: "Why did you go so far away in your last life? Didn't you take the official road? Also, the place is so far away. How can we explain it to Bai Yan and Big Brother and find the place at once?"
"Sister, we escaped when it rained heavily. When we escaped here, the dam burst and flash floods came. The official road was full of people, and there were always conflicts if we couldn't walk fast. No, Liu Donglin I don’t want to waste time on conflicts, so I led everyone inside.”
Wang Can said, turning his eyes and said: "Sister, the half hour I just mentioned refers to walking by foot. If there is a carriage, it will be much faster. I think it's almost time later. Ask Bai Yan to stop the horse. Then call the eldest and second brothers, let’s get off the car and look for them separately. Sister, if you don’t know the specific location, just stay here and feed the horse by the way. After we disperse, I will look for an opportunity to go over there. If there is water over there , let’s let the tribesmen go there, if not, then find another place.”
When Li Yuan heard that this was okay, she nodded in agreement: "Okay!"
It was just an agreement between the two of them. The carriage hadn't gone very far when Bai Yan shouted to Li Rui and Li Duo who were on the shaft of the carriage.
"Brother Li, Brother Li, get up quickly. Let's go look around to see if there is any water source!"
At the same time, Zhou Zi and Zhou Chou, who were helping to drive the carriage, also gave the reins of the carriage to others, and together with Bai Yan, they dispersed towards the surrounding area.
Li Duo, who was called out, didn't even think about what was going on. Bai Yan handed him the reins and left.
Li Yuan repeated Bai Yan's words again. After the brothers left, she drove the carriage herself and followed Wang Can's prompts to quickly come to the camphor trees.
Wang Can carried deworming medicine on him and picked up a woodcutter in his hand. After jumping out of the carriage, he said to Li Yuan, "Sister, wait for me here. I'll be back soon."
"Don't worry, walk slower, our safety comes first!"
Wang Can waved his hand at her disapprovingly and left.
Whether it was good luck or bad luck, she quickly found the place in her memory.
But when we found a small stream, it was almost dry, and the depth of the water was only as shallow as an index finger.
Unwilling to be reconciled, she walked up a few more meters, then squatted down to test the depth with her fingers, then turned around and walked back.
When she came back, she told Li Yuan about the situation, and finally said: "Sister, I think the water should be deeper if you go up the stream. There is less water there now. In fact, it can be dug deeper with a hoe. Maybe it will be deeper." You can dig out a big hole to get the water. It may be turbid at first, but it will gradually become clear after an hour or two. Since we are out and it is very dry outside, it is better for everyone to save more water. After boiling this raw water, it will be the same as the water from the well at home, and it will be OK to keep it for a few days."
