Farming in space: the struggle of peasant girls

Chapter 87 087
A total of eight people wanted to leave with the Xu family caravan.

Of course the servants bought in the dental office wouldn't go, they didn't even realize they had this option.

Those eight were from the other 31 on the team.

The refugees who joined later were not loyal enough because they stayed for a short time. Five out of six left, and two he followed from the ruined temple and a strong man whom Mu Yu looked up to wanted to find his lost relatives.

Mu Yu accepted these people one by one and told them to go back to pack their luggage. She told Xu Gui that eight people wanted to go with the caravan.

Xu Gui was quite calm, no disappointment was visible on his face, as if he didn't care about this matter at all, and he couldn't see that he was trying to lure them to go together an hour ago.

He just thanked her briefly, and then delivered a speech to the eight people, who were so moved by what they said that they burst into tears.

In the end, he walked up to Yang Erlang, bowed and said goodbye, and led the caravan with eight more people around the side of the mountain and left slowly.

Yang Erlang watched them go away, turned his head and said to Mu Yu standing beside him,
"Let Taohua cook more rice, let's eat better at noon, and then go into the mountains!"

In this way, they separated from the Xu family caravan that had been traveling with them for half a month, and embarked on the last journey before reaching their destination.

……

The mountain road is not easy to walk. Even after resting for a long time before, I have eaten and drank enough, but the speed up the mountain is still as slow as a turtle crawling.

Yang Erlang said, at this speed, don't even think about arriving in the evening of the next day, even if it takes another day.

Yang Erlang didn't understand, "How can it be so hard to climb?

I didn't feel that when I was on the road before, I can walk very fast, why is it so hard to climb a mountain? "

Mu Yu felt that she could understand a little bit. She could clearly feel that climbing a mountain was more strenuous than walking. She seldom felt very tired when driving on flat ground, but after only two hours on the mountain road, she felt so tired that she had to grit her teeth. persisted.

But she could only understand a little bit, because although she felt very tired, she still kept up with Yang Erlang and his first echelon, but she didn't understand that nearly half of the people fell behind. so many.

In any case, the problem does exist and needs to be resolved.

Mu Yu called Yang Erlang to discuss with him, and decided to divide the whole team into three parts, front, middle and back.

The ones in the front take a step ahead and lead the way to find out the situation. The ones in the middle are responsible for receiving the road information from the front and ensuring that the people behind are not left behind.

Yang Erlang: "I will take the lead and lead the way. You don't need too many people, just three or five people. The main thing is to confirm the situation. I don't know if there will be any changes after I have been away for more than two years."

"I am with you."

Yang Erlang frowned, as if he wanted to refuse, but what he said was,

"OK then."

Mu Yu nodded in satisfaction,
"Then how long will it take us to reach the village?"

"According to my speed, I can arrive by tomorrow evening."

"Very good, we can briefly explore the village before dark to confirm the general situation of the village."

"Ah."

"Okay, I'll talk to them first, divide the matter into two parts, and find a few people to manage the team when we are no longer."

Mu Yu went to Taohua and talked about it with several corporal leaders. The corps that walked in front temporarily became the middle part, and the corps that were left behind became the rear part.

The back is not all slow walking, poor physical strength, and some slow down to take care of family members, such as Ji Xiucai's family of four, such as Zhu Silang, such as Song Gao, so the back is not very weak, just to take care of the elderly and sick It's just that I can't get up soon.

Mu Yu found Song Gao at the end and asked him to pay more attention to not let anyone fall behind. Song Gao nodded earnestly, expressing that he would never let anyone fall behind.

After arranging all this, Mu Yu set off early the next morning with Yang Erlang and other four people.

Yang Erlang climbs mountains as if walking on flat ground, which is not only due to good physical strength and flexibility, but also due to years of habit.

He is a child who grew up in the mountains, climbing mountains is as easy as drinking water for him.

Mu Yu and the others are not too bad in terms of physical strength or flexibility, but they are far behind in terms of habits and experience. The gentler mountain roads are fine, but they will slow down when they encounter steep places, so once in a while He asked Yang Erlang to slow down and wait for them.

But no matter what, several people persisted, and no one held back.

On the way, Yang Erlang asked one of them to go back and tell the people behind to pay special attention to the steep mountain roads to avoid problems there.

Mu Yu concentrated on his journey along the way, and failed to observe the situation in the mountains carefully, so he only took a rough look.

This is not a mountain, but a continuous mountain range. They climbed over a mountain, and the mountain they are now is surrounded by mountains on all sides, enclosing the mountain.

The mountain is a barren mountain, and there are dead trees and grass along the way. There is no bright color, but it is the color of rocks and loess.

When noon came, Mu Yu, who had climbed the mountain road all morning, was breathing heavily, sweat dripped from her forehead, and her clothes were wet and sticky to her flesh, making her uncomfortable.

But she didn't say a word, and neither did the others.

Moreover, she looked up, covered the glaring sunlight, the top of the mountain was close at hand, how could she stop at such a time.

It didn't take long for Mu Yu to set foot on the top of the mountain, and for a moment, he felt that his breathing became much easier.

The mountain is not very high, so it is not enough to say that there is the feeling of "being the top of the mountain and seeing all the small mountains at a glance", but it is difficult to have that kind of feeling when climbing a mountain after hard work.

Mu Yu wiped off the sweat from his face, gasping for breath, observing and admiring the surrounding mountains and the scene below.

If you find a good angle, you can also see other people climbing up the mountainside.

Mu Yu observed them carefully for a long time, and then turned to observe others, for example, the village where they will settle down which should not be far away.

But she looked around for a long time, but she didn't find any village on the mountain.

This is very strange. At that time, she was so far away from the earthen castle of Wang's family. She could vaguely see the corner of the earthen castle. It doesn't make sense that now it's only half a day away, and she can't see the shadow of the village on the top of the mountain?
Could it be that the village is not on this mountain, but on another mountain?

That's not right, there is no need to climb to the top of this mountain, the village should be on this mountain, and it should not be far from the top of the mountain.

She searched again, but found nothing, so she went to ask Yang Erlang, and Yang Erlang pointed her in the direction.

She looked in the direction, and turned her head to look at Yang Erlang leisurely for a long time.

This time Yang Erlang didn't ask her to look carefully, but just smiled.

"This is what I mean by concealment. When outsiders come here for the first time, even if they find it, they won't be able to find that there is a village here.

Come with me. "
