Dressed as a farmer group pet

Chapter 222 Chapter 222
The children played a little late today, and when they returned to the room, they were all sleepy, wishing they could go to bed right away.

Just as soon as he lay down, Jiang Hu came in and told them that he was leaving early tomorrow morning, and now pack up his things first.

"It's enough to bring some necessities. We can travel with light vehicles. The rest will be transported to the county in the future."

Jiang Hu gave each child a warning, and then went to pack his things.

Xiaomi was also a little surprised. She guessed that the family would definitely leave, but she didn't expect it to be so soon.

Fortunately, she didn't have anything else, so she put away her purse and packed a few pieces of clothes that she changed next to her body.

It is said that it is quite far to go to the county seat, and it will take seven or eight days on the road. Even if you can't take a bath, you have to change two sets of underwear.

The bow and arrow given by Wei Ziang must be brought along, as well as the little money I have saved over the past few years.

Xiaomi didn't have many things, so he packed them up soon. Xiaoxue had a little more things because of various embroidery threads and cloths, but the things of the two sisters could be packed in one box.

Just when he was about to ask his parents about the situation, Jiang Hu came again.

"Xiaoxue, don't bring too much money with you, just bring dozens of copper coins. Let's put the money at home first. It's not safe to keep it on your body, you know?"

Xiaoxue, who was just about to take out the banknote, put it back again.

"Okay Dad, where do I put these?"

Looking at the small box in the second sister's hand, Xiaomi said, a lot of small money!

Jiang Hu reached out and took it over: "Your mother also has a money box, I will lock yours in it too, and send it directly to the county together with the food."

Xiaomi finally heard something.

"Father, could it be that someone from Grandpa Liu will come here to help us transport things later?"

Jiang Hu nodded with a smile: "That's right, and last year, when we delivered food to Grandpa Liu and the others every month, we would send more food, and the extra food would be placed at our new home."

Xiaomi's eyes widened in surprise: "We already have a new home?"

This, this is too fast, right?

It's so quiet, how many things did Dad do behind their backs?

But Jiang Wei didn't explain too much this time, he just rubbed Xiaomi's hair: "You will know when the time comes, it's getting late, everything is packed, go to bed first."

Xiaomi reluctantly resolved his doubts, and nodded obediently.

Jiang Hu went to tell the other children, and then asked everyone to go to bed early.

And he and Erniang took semolina, corn flour and finely ground sorghum, and went to the kitchen to make dry food.

Don't use any stuffing, just use a little meat oil, bake a piece of cake, and steam two pots of coarse grain steamed buns, and then put them all in a ventilated place, and they will become dry and hard overnight.

When you go out, you should not reveal your wealth easily, especially in a team like theirs, which is almost all children.

At that time, I will eat dry food outside, eat pickles, drink some water, and deal with it casually for a few days. When I get to the place, it will not be too late to enjoy it.

Xiaomi yawned and went to bed. When he woke up, he felt shaky. When he opened his eyes, he was no longer in his bed.

"Xiaomi woke up?" Wei Ziang was the first to notice, "It's still early, do you want to sleep a little longer?"

Xiaomi rubbed her eyes, stretched her waist and sat up, feeling confused for a while, before returning to her senses.

"It's already set off. What time is it now? Why is it so early? It's not yet dawn outside."

When I sat up, I realized that I was on the bullock cart, surrounded by the familiar grass shed, which was specially used to keep out the wind and rain in winter.

As for herself, her mother was holding her in her arms, her father was opposite, holding Jiang Wei in her arms, and her elder brother was holding a small oil lamp in his hand.

The bullock cart is not big, and the family is crowded on it at the moment, the speed is relatively slow, and it looks very crowded.

Xiaomi got off her mother and sat beside her, and found that everyone looked sleepy, leaning on each other and resting with their eyes closed, and it seemed that they didn't sleep well.

"It should be Yin time now, it's still early, Xiaomi should sleep a little longer, we'll change carriages when we get to the town."

Erniang pulled Xiaomi closer to her and let her lean against her body, while Xiaoxue was on the other side.

Sitting opposite them was Jiang Hu, Jiang Yu, and Wei Ziang. Jiang Wei was still hugged by Jiang Hu, and between them were some dilapidated wooden boxes and some bundles.

With the faint light, you can still see the patches on the baggage, which are worthless at first glance.

Parents are so cautious, Xiaomi said to himself, then yawned and fell asleep again.

Although the bullock cart left early, there were many people and it was very slow. By the time it swayed to the town, it was already daylight.

Today is the Lantern Festival, the town is buzzing with people, and the lights are festooned, so it is very lively.

It's a pity that these excitements have nothing to do with the Jiang family for the time being.

It was Lao Zhang who was driving the ox cart. After Jiang Hu and the others changed to the carriage, he had to drive the ox cart back, but he had to wait until noon before going back.

The group ate wontons, and then went to find the Liu's house in the town. The Liu's house that was destroyed during the drought had been repaired a long time ago, and someone has been taking care of it.

Because Jiang Hu had already confirmed that he was going to leave soon, so he greeted this place in advance. He was someone Liu Bo trusted, and he had already made all preparations in advance.

Although leaving on the Lantern Festival was somewhat surprising, the man made arrangements quickly. Two carriages and four drivers left from Xiangma Town in less than half an hour.

Didn't get anyone's attention at all.

After changing the carriage, they still sat in two carriages, which suddenly became much more spacious. Their luggage was stuffed under the stool, and there were some quilts, kettles and other things in the carriage, as well as an earthen pot.

The coachman also often travels between the county town and Xiangma Town, and he is very familiar with this road. He said that he will pass through two or three towns on this road. If he is not in a hurry, he can also stay overnight.

At other times, it is necessary to make do in the carriage, so some quilts need to be prepared, and the earthen pot can heat hot water and cook porridge.

While listening to other people talking, Xiaomi raised the carriage curtain of the small window and looked at the outside environment curiously.

This is her first time going to Ma Town, which is completely opposite to Fu'an Village.

The roadside is full of unfamiliar environments, which makes people feel a little uneasy and a little emotional.

It has been seven years, seven years since she came to this world, this is the first time she left Fu'an Village in a real sense, but unexpectedly, she left secretly like a thief.

Suddenly, Xiaomi also felt that the title of 'Little Lucky Star' was not so good, and the restrictions were a bit too big.

However, Xiaomi has no regrets about leaving Fu'an Village.

In the past few years, she has benefited the people around her by borrowing the water from the spiritual spring. If nothing else, she must stay in Fu'an Village for the rest of her life, guarding other people.

She also has things she wants to do, and the Jiang family cannot always be confined to Fu'an Village.

She doesn't have those overly grand ambitions, but some small goals can still be set.

Fu'an village is too remote, so remote for so many years, she didn't even find anything new in the town.

On the contrary, the eldest brother went to the county to study for a year, and stayed in the academy most of the time. When he came back, he talked about it with his family, and also talked about some things that were not available in Xiangma Town, but were very rare and common in Cheng County.

For example, some things from other countries, or some fruits and grains that are not suitable for planting in Cheng County.

The more I heard my elder brother talking about it, the more Xiaomi wanted to leave Fu'an Village, because staying in Fu'an Village would never give out many things in her space.

Such a big space, so many delicious things, but she couldn't find a chance to take them out. She even thought that Xiangma Town was too remote, so she couldn't say that she bought them from outside merchants.

because without!

Xiaomi leaned on the small window, looked at the slowly receding trees outside, and smirked, imagining his future life, which would definitely get better and better!

With a heavy weight on her shoulders, Erniang put a piece of clothing on her: "It's windy outside, don't keep looking outside, be careful of catching cold."

Xiaomi put down the curtain, hugged her mother's arm, and leaned on her shoulder: "Mother, what do you think Chengxian looks like?"

She hasn't seen an ancient county town yet, and wonders if it has tall and large walls like those shown in TV dramas.

Will there be a very tall city gate that requires many people to close and open, and even entering and leaving the town will be checked by many soldiers.

When they came out of the town before, someone checked their wayfinding. If it came to the county town, it would only be more serious, right?

Erniang patted Xiaomi's head: "The county seat, the year my mother was pregnant with you and my brother, I happened to pass by Cheng County once. Although I didn't go in, I know Cheng County is very big, very big."

As he spoke, he looked at Xiaoxue again: "Does Xiaoxue still remember?"

Xiaoxue shook her head, she knew what time her mother was talking about, but she was still young at that time, and she was hungry, and only wanted to eat in her mind, and she didn't remember anything else at all.

Erniang looked at Jiang Yu again, and Jiang Yu recalled: "Remember, before that, we had separated from our grandparents."

After so many years, it was the first time that my elder brother mentioned the matter of his grandparents face to face, and Xiaomi felt weird.

Taking a peek at the eldest brother, there is no superfluous expression, as if it was just a passerby who mentioned it casually.

The few sisters in the family, Xiaoxue and Jiang Wei, should be the only ones, and they don't know about the conflicts between parents and grandparents.

So, when she heard about her grandparents, Xiaoxue naturally became curious.

"Brother, when you were in the county last year, did you hear from your grandparents and their team, which direction did you go?"

At the beginning, because there were too many refugees, the imperial court divided the flow, one wave went in this direction, another wave went in that direction, and each wave was subdivided into various townships.

But for Xiaoxue's question, there is really something wrong with which pot to open and which pot to lift, but because Xiaoxue doesn't know anything, asking this question, in Xiaoxue's view, is nothing wrong.

Xiaomi was thinking about how to answer, so he listened to his elder brother.

"Back then, there were too many refugees gathered around Chengxian County. The county magistrate divided them into several teams and left from several directions, and distributed them in various villages in Chengxian County."

Xiaomi blinked: "So, no one knows which direction grandpa and grandma left from, right brother?"

Jiang Yu nodded: "That's right, maybe they are not in Cheng County anymore."

Xiaomi let out an 'oh', indicating that he knew. Looking at the second sister again, she didn't ask any more questions, so she was relieved.

Regarding this grandparent, Xiaomi has never met before, but she doesn't have a good impression of them at all.

Now knowing that they might also be near Cheng County, I muttered in my heart, it's best not to run into each other.

People like that, if they really met, I'm afraid not all of them would become like blood-sucking mosquitoes.

Taking a peek at Niangqin, she found that Niangqin's expression didn't seem to change, as if nothing would happen.

Mother is really calm, still didn't think of this?
Or, Dad actually thought about this kind of thing a long time ago and took precautions in advance?

Judging from Dad's usual calmness in doing things, it's not impossible.

It's a pity that now that she has grown up, she can no longer "overhear" her parents' whispers like she did when she was a baby.

Jiang Yu, Erniang, Xiaomi Xiaoxue, they were in a carriage, the rest of Jiang Hu, Jiang Wei, and Wei Ziang were in a carriage.

At the beginning, it was relatively fresh, talking and chatting, and then imagined what the new home would look like.

But in the afternoon, everyone was listless, leaning on the carriage and yawning, looking drowsy, even Xiaomi, who was always the most energetic.

This is still the first day, and there are still many days to come.

It was at this moment that Xiaomi deeply understood how inconvenient it was for the ancients to travel.

It's just torture!
This carriage was obviously much better than the bullock cart, but it still swayed. When the coachman found a suitable place to stop in the evening and let everyone come out to let the wind rest, the whole person felt light and light.

Finally, when the soles of his feet touched the ground, Xiaomi let out a long sigh of relief. It was not easy. This was only the first day. When he arrived in Cheng County, he might have lost half of his life.

It's no wonder that every time Liu Ze returned to Fu'an Village from the county, he seemed to be seriously ill, and he had to recuperate for several days before he could fully recover.

Not to mention that Liu Ze was not in good health, even healthy people like them were quite tired after this day.

"Master Jiang, this side is more spacious, and there is a river in front of it. Most of the carriages going to the city will stop here for one night."

The coachman skillfully took out two torches from under the carriage, lit them on the ground next to them with a flint, and then began to gather firewood to make a fire.

"Let's come together, cook some porridge and eat something warm."

At noon, I ate the thick-faced steamed buns that I gnawed directly on the carriage, and I dealt with the meal with the cold boiled water and pickles that I boiled in the morning.

Because they traveled with light vehicles, they only brought about a dozen catties of coarse rice, just to cook some porridge on the road.

Everyone is not a young master or a young lady. Those who work are called agile. Those who gather firewood gather firewood, those who fetch water fetch water, and those who light fire make fire.

A group of people quickly gathered in front of the fire, making porridge and baking steamed buns, which were delicious when they were hot.

There are other people around, but everyone does not interfere with each other. They are in their own places. After finishing the food, they return to their carriages and start to rest in order to cope with the next rush.
