Chapter 265 Chapter 264 Departure
The day before the Jiang family set off with the students and yamen servants, Liu Qingfeng took his wife and lived in the room of his younger brother Liu Ze.

The small courtyard next to him started construction the day after he told Jiang Hu about it.

Madam has servants to take care of her. When she goes out, she can see the blue sky and white clouds. The weather is cool in the morning and evening, and she can walk around the fields.

Madam is in a good mood, so Liu Qingfeng can take care of himself at ease. He is now a teaching assistant of the college, studying with the dean, and occasionally helping his wife with his classes.

However, after living in Jiang's house for a few days, Liu Qingfeng started to babble, feeling that the food in the academy didn't seem very tasty anymore.

On the other side, the entire Jiang family was sitting in a carriage and driving an ox cart, and in the ox cart was enough grain to feed them for at least three months!
Mainly rice, noodles, grains and oils, no meat dishes. After all, it is not easy to store in hot weather. Even if you bring live chickens or ducks, you will easily be smothered to death.

Uncle Liu specially rented the carriage and coachman. This time, he went to Fuzhou with him, and sent them home together after the test results were released.

This carriage is much larger than ordinary carriages, it is very spacious inside, and the windows are opened relatively large, so the curtains are opened to let in air, so it is not so hot.

Compared with the previous few carriages, it is really much more comfortable, so Jiang Yu and Liu Ze also came over, which can be regarded as making room for other students.

There were eight members of the family, big and small, Jiang Wei followed his elder sister, second sister, and mother in one carriage, and the remaining four people were in another carriage.

After all, the children are not young anymore, Xiaomi Xiaoxue is Jiang Wei's older sister, and Jiang Wei is also the youngest, so it's okay.

It was hot in summer, and the yamen servants were also afraid of exposing the students to heatstroke, so they would go on their way early in the morning, and when it was hottest at noon, they would find a cool place to rest and cook at the same time.

After the late afternoon, that is, after three o'clock in the afternoon, I went on my way, and didn't stop until the willow shoots were on the moon.

It was a last resort to travel like this, mainly because it was too hot, and everyone was either bored in the carriage, or riding a horse to bask in the sun, which was unbearable for both people and horses.

Even so, after walking for less than three days, everyone's energy was exhausted, and everyone was sluggish.

When they first set off, some students took the books and seized the time to consolidate what they had learned.

It's not working now, everyone is listless from the sun, and they are more energetic at night, but there are many mosquitoes on the roadside, and it is dark, so I can't read a book.

The easiest ones are probably Liu Ze and Jiang Yu.

They originally held the mentality of seeing and seeing first, so their mentality is naturally different.

In addition, the carriage of my own is spacious and breathable, and I can rest well at night. The most important thing is that the food still tastes the same, and the state is of course different.

At noon today, as usual, I found a shady place to rest on the side of the road.

Most of the escorts were not the first time, and they were all familiar with the journey to Fuzhou, so it was easy to find a place to rest.

As soon as the carriage stopped, everyone couldn't wait to get off the carriage to rest.

Originally, at the beginning, the students were resting next to each other, and the yamen servants would find firewood and prepare food for the fire. After all, the journey was far away, and it was better to bring grain and pots and bowls with them, and then cook.

But later I saw Jiang Yu and Liu Ze, although they are also scholars, they also help prepare meals together, either collecting firewood or boiling water, and sometimes even cooking!
There are people from the same college who know each other. Seeing that the students who are younger than me are so diligent, I am too embarrassed to be idle, and I also help the yamen servants to pick up firewood.

After going back and forth, everyone was embarrassed to sit and wait, but now everyone started to help.

Even if you don't know how to cook, it doesn't seem so embarrassing to be a helper, even if you just pass a piece of firewood.

The yamen servants are very familiar with this road, there are water sources at the stops, and there are many burnt ashes on the ground, which shows that many people usually rest in these places.

Jiang Hu and Erniang were fine, they were adults after all, they could bear it, but the children couldn't, they rushed out as soon as they stopped, looking for firewood to fetch water, or digging wild vegetables around.

Liu Ze and Jiang Yu, in particular, surprised the students with their knowledge of the wild vegetables around them. Many of the weeds on the roadside were actually edible.

Slightly processed, or stir-fried or cold, it is much more delicious than their direct pickles.

"Brother Chen, have you finished soaking the fragrant dragon grass?" Jiang Hu walked towards the head of the yamen servant team with a pack of fragrant dragon grass.

Chen Ban was nearly forty years old, and he was very tall and strong. Because he practiced martial arts all the year round, he was full of tendons, which gave a group of frail scholars a sense of security.

"Brother Jiang, thank you. It's still your thoughtfulness. Drinking this fragrant dragon grass boiled water made me feel more energetic in the afternoon, and the students didn't suffer from heat stroke."

Team leader Chen generously took the fragrant dragon grass given by Jiang Hu. Before leaving, the county magistrate told him to take care of the Jiang family. In addition, Jiang Hu is also a cheerful person, and everyone gets along well.

Besides the Jiang family, there were other people who followed, but most of them were college students, some rented a carriage to keep up, and some were escorted by domestic servants.

These people went to take the college examination by themselves, which was different from those recommended by the college and the county magistrate.

The recommendation of the county magistrate is based on the internal selection of the various colleges in the county, and there is a question test. After passing, the county magistrate will send someone to escort them there. The students do not need to bear the food, lodging and transportation along the way.

Of course, there are also some students with good family backgrounds, even if they go with the yamen servants, they will be taken care of by the servants and guards at home.

As for those who keep up on their own, they have not passed the county assessment and want to try the hospital examination, so they can only bear the expenses by themselves.

But they are all students, along with the yamen servants, the county magistrate also told the yamen servants to take care of them, at least in terms of safety, don't worry.

There are hundreds of people in a mighty group, and the space they occupy when resting is not small.

Those rich kids are well-prepared, and generally don't get too close to other people.

Jiang Hu and the others drove the carriage and ox cart, followed the yamen servants, and they were almost all together when they stopped to rest.

He gave the fragrant dragon grass to Bantou Chen. Several students saw it and bowed their hands to Jiang Hu from afar as a thank you.

After all, after drinking this bowl of fragrant dragon grass, the whole person feels much more energetic.

Jiang Hu waved his hand to indicate that you are welcome, turned around and saw Jiang Yu came back, beckoning: "Yu'er, take these to your classmates, it's a hot day, drink it to make you feel better."

The classmates he was talking about were the students who accompanied him at their own expense. Although they looked older than Jiang Yu and Liu Ze, in Jiang Hu's eyes, they were all children.

It's a hot day, it's hard.

"Okay." Jiang Yu put down the firewood in his hand, Liu Ze has already set up a simple earthen stove, and Er Niang is getting food for lunch.

Jiang Hu carried a big wooden bucket to fetch water. Their trip this time was almost comparable to moving house.

When Jiang Hu came back with a bucket of water, he found that the number was wrong.

Erniang Xiaoxue was packing up and preparing to make lunch, Jiang Wei was doing chores beside her, Jiang Yu and Liu Ze didn't know what she was doing, at least she was right next to Erniang, but there were two more?
"Erniang, where are Xiaomi and Ziang? Why are they missing?" I looked around for a week, but I didn't see anyone.

Jiang Yu didn't raise his head: "The two of them just ran away with their bows and arrows, and they probably went hunting."

The two younger siblings had hunted every day some time ago, and almost never came back empty-handed, they were used to it.

Jiang Hu frowned slightly. Although the two children often went up the mountain, there were generally no wild animals on the mountain near the official road, but after all, they were children, so they ran away like this, so how could they not worry at all.

But people don't know where it is, and don't know where to look for it, so they can only wait for the time being.

Pour water into the pot, two clay pots, one for boiling water and one for cooking. After the water is boiled, you can still make soup. I haven't finished the wild vegetables I dug last night, so I don't need to look for it at noon today.

After helping for a while, Er Niang asked him to rest, but he had no choice but to go to see Jiang Yu and Liu Ze, but found that the two were tossing two embroidery needles, and there were threads and bamboo poles beside them.

Jiang Hu was surprised: "Are you guys planning to go fishing?"

The embroidery needles are red-hot, and when you break them off with the cuffs, you can make a fishing hook. This is not difficult. The fishing rod used by Uncle Liu at home is made by themselves.

"That's right, Dad. When we were collecting firewood just now, we found a very gentle place with big rocks on it. There must be a lot of fish there."

While talking, the two fishing rods were ready, and Jiang Yu greeted Liu Ze: "Xiao Ze, let's go. If we catch fish, we will have an extra meal today!"

Although they brought food, they could only find roadside wild vegetables or pickled vegetables for food. They originally wanted to bring eggs, but the road was too hot, and the eggs would be ruined in the sun.

No, I haven't eaten meat for a few days, not only Xiaomi Wei Ziang is hungry, but Jiang Yu and Liu Ze are also hungry.

Judging from Xiaoxue Jiangwei's action of cheering them on, everyone wants to eat meat.

Jiang Hu shook his head, and then said: "Be careful, don't fall into the river."

But he had seen it just now, and the river was very gentle. Not only could the two children know how to swim, but they were also not careless people. He was quite relieved about this.

Erniang is making noodles. It's a hot day and I want to eat some porridge. Fried mung beans can also be used to cook porridge, and it cooks quickly. It just tastes a little different from raw mung beans, but it's still delicious.

But if you only eat porridge and are not hungry at night, you can prepare dough pancakes, and pickle pancakes are very good.

This side is busy with work, and Xiaomi and Wei Ziang on the other side are not idle either.

As soon as the carriage stopped, the two each took their short bows and wooden swords, greeted each other and ran away.

For several months in a row, as long as it doesn't rain, I go to the mountains to practice every day. I have been locked in the carriage for the past few days, which can be regarded as broken.

No, I finally couldn't bear it today and ran out.

As soon as you go up the mountain, it's like going home, and you can find the best way up the mountain at a glance.

"Brother, I haven't eaten meat for several days. Let's eat meat today." Xiaomi weighed the short bow in his hand and had a wooden sword pinned to his waist.

Both of them are very confident about hunting, even though Wei Ziang hasn't touched a bow and arrow for more than two months.

However, he still shot two arrows first, to try his hand first.

"Anyway, it's out, so I might as well hunt a few more. It's been a hard journey, so I'll make up for everyone."

Wei Ziang picked up the arrow, he has found the feeling of hunting.

Xiaomi nodded, glanced around, but didn't find the prey, but moved closer to Wei Ziang.

"Brother, have you practiced sword recently, do you feel that you have improved?"

It's been two months, except for a few times of rain, almost every day for one or two hours in the space, according to Ling'er, it is very rude when absorbing spiritual energy.

However, Xiaomi has never asked what happened before, and I just remembered it today.

Wei Ziang didn't hide anything, and after pondering for a moment, he said, "I've made great progress, especially my five senses have become more acute. If you listen carefully, you can even hear the sound of elder brother writing in his own room."

Xiaomi was surprised: "It's so powerful."

Wei Ziang nodded: "Well, try hunting today, I think it can be used, and I feel that the internal energy in the dantian is also abundant."

Regarding the qi circulating in the dantian, the two decided to call it internal force after discussing it.

Because as long as you find the right method, you can circulate that qi to any place on your body. Before this, the two of you have already tried it.

Thinking of this, Xiaomi suddenly made a move, and slapped a thick tree beside him.

With a bang, the big tree didn't move.

But when Xiaomi moved his hand away, a clear slap print appeared on the tree. After flicking his fingers, a white spot suddenly appeared under the slap.

Something fell.

Followed one after another, the trunk was like powder, and the fine powder fell all over the ground along the white spot!

In the end, a sunken palm print was revealed, only the depth of a knuckle, but the inside and outside were distinct.

Even though it was not the first time, Xiaomi was still shocked.

"so amazing."

It was as if this slap wasn't made by herself.

Wei Ziang's pupils also shrank suddenly, and then calmed down.

"Let's go, let's go deeper, don't we want to hunt? Go back early?"

"Alright, catch more prey!"

Xiaomi ran to the front cheerfully, Wei Ziang smiled and followed quickly.

In fact, he could do the slap just now, but certainly not as easily as Xiaomi.

What I have to admit is that Xiaomi is more talented and powerful than him, which is why he feels relieved to take Xiaomi up the mountain together.

Even if they really encounter a beast, I believe that with their abilities, it is not impossible to solve it.

As for the place Xiaomi took him to every day, he didn't delve into it. He knew that Xiaomi had a secret, a secret that no one knew.

He knew it from the beginning.

But what does that matter?

No matter what secrets Xiaomi has, she is still Xiaomi, isn't she?
"Brother, hurry up, why are you so slow, be careful not to get lost!"

Xiaomi, who had already walked a long way, stood on a big rock and waved vigorously at Wei Ziang.

It turned out that at the moment when he was distracted just now, he didn't notice Xiaomi speeding up, so that he was thrown off.

"coming."

Wei Ziang replied loudly, and then followed the traces in front of him, and quickly chased after him.

"Little brother, you're distracted no matter how you hunt. Be careful when you fall later. By the way, when you're hunting later, try to use your internal energy, maybe there will be a miracle."

While Xiaomi was nagging, the two finally ushered in their first prey...
