Chapter 215 The Second Camping

It was raining continuously and coldly on this day.It is also because the official road is built on the bank of the Hui River, people only feel that the water vapor is dense, and the breath is moist.

Although the mule carts pulling the goods have tarpaulin roofs, they still cannot be taken lightly.

Once the chili noodles are damp, the flavor will be insufficient and it will easily deteriorate.

In order to catch up with time, the coachman drove on almost without sleep. From morning to night, he was really tired halfway, so he let Lai do it for a while.

The road from Quwo to Jiangzhou is not an important section. The road here is all loess road. People who walk for a long time will naturally have some unevenness.

The wooden wheels were poorly elastic, and the car was going fast. Sitting in the mule cart, Qiao Yun felt as if her internal organs were going to be messed up by the bumps.

Having no other choice, Qiao Yun had no choice but to lie down, Yun Xuemei hugged her into her arms and let her pillow her knees.

O knee-pillow of the Great Beauty!

Qiao Yun lay comfortably on Yun Xuemei's lap.

"Aren't you two getting carsick?"

Yun Xuemei shook her head: "I'm used to it."

Gu Yu also seemed to be okay: "Isn't this the case with all cars? You won't get dizzy after sitting too much. I used to ride a lot of carriages with the county magistrate's wife."

Qiao Yun was dizzy: "I can't do it anymore, I'm so dizzy..."

Seeing how miserable she was, Gu Yu turned around and took a bundle from the shelf, opened it, and took out an oiled paper bag from inside: "Why don't you have some snacks, Master, I bought some dried apricots before leaving, although they are pickled in sugar, But it’s still very sour, maybe you’ll feel better if you eat some of it?”

"No, no, I can't eat." Qiao Yun waved her hands weakly. "I want to sleep for a while."

"It's good to sleep for a while..." Gu Yu nodded and put away the things first.

"Don't sleep." Unexpectedly, Yun Xuemei slapped Qiao Yun's face.

Her strength seemed to be light, like a gentle and pampering pat, and there was no sound at all. In fact, her strength was quite strong, and it was absolutely refreshing.

Qiao Yun bared her teeth in pain and looked at Yun Xuemei tearfully.

You are willing to hit me!
Yun Xuemei smiled, and began to lower her head to rub her face again: "You will get dizzy if you sleep too much in the car, and it's not dark yet, and now you're not sleepy after sleeping in the middle of the night."

"Then how long will it take to arrive in Jiangzhou?"

Yun Xuemei looked out the window: "I'm only halfway there, so it's early. If I don't catch the night tonight, I won't be there until tomorrow afternoon."

"Don't drive at night, it's not safe to walk at night. Even if you stop by the side of the road for one night, let the drivers have a good rest." Qiao Yun yawned.

After seeing the scenery for a day today, she is also tired.

On both sides of the official road are rows of lush trees, on the south side is the embankment, and on the north side is a large field. The winter wheat has begun to turn green, and the tender green wheat seedlings are about a car's width away from the official road, ten miles away. There is a long pavilion and a short pavilion five miles away, where pedestrians can camp and rest.

Qiao Yun yawned lazily again: "Gu Yu, please ask the front, will you rest tonight?"

In the driver's seat outside the car, Lai Gan was chatting with the driver. The driver relied on himself to deliver goods to Ding Shi Ji. He traveled from south to north every day. He saw a lot of things. When he met Lai Gan, he never left the city I can't help bragging about my younger generation, even if I haven't experienced it, I have to make up some.

Gu Yu's voice came from behind abruptly: "Should we continue our journey tonight, or should we rest overnight? My boss is a little tired, and my whole body is sore from the bumpy dirt road. I want to relax."

The coachman's bragging was suddenly interrupted, he turned his head to look, only to realize that Gu Yu had somehow climbed onto the front window of the car and opened the curtain to look at them.

"I can't rest! If you rest for one more night, the chili noodles will be damp for one more night. Besides, it's cold at night, and it will be even more humid when the dew condenses before dawn."

Qiao Yun groaned, got up all at once, leaned towards the window, and asked, "Then you are going to drive at night? Look, there are no street lights or anything on this road, so don't fall into the river."

If it’s sunny and there are moons and stars, it’s fine. When the moonlight is bright enough, you can barely see things.But now the drizzle is continuous and the sky is cloudy. At night, can't you stretch your hands and see your fingers?
"Don't worry, master, mules can see things at night. The carts are all old mules who have traveled between Quwo and Jiangzhou dozens of times. They know the way better than us!"

"I see! Are you hungry? Do you want something to eat? Does the mule want something to eat?"

……

"Hiss, yes."

The coachman gasped.

They are sitting in the cart, but the mule has to eat!

Harmful!
It's all up to Lai Ding to take care of it, he said, send the chili noodles to Jiangzhou as soon as possible, the faster the speed, the more money will be rewarded.Poor people like them were dazzled by money bounty fans, and almost forgot to be considerate of these big guys.

Thinking of this, the coachman yelled to the front: "Sir, stop!"

Coachman Sun slowed down when he heard the voice coming from behind him. He waited for the car behind to come up and asked, "Old Li, what's the matter?"

"We've got to stop and rest and let these animals rest and eat."

Coachman Sun glanced at the road ahead.

Under the dim and dark sky, the gray-yellow road has no end in sight.

"What's the matter? If you walk slowly, the reward will be much less!"

Old Li knocked on the side of his car with a horsewhip, hating iron and iron: "Will it be settled! How much reward can we get for running fast? How much should we pay for exhausting these two eating guys?"

Upon hearing this, Coachman Sun patted his head embarrassingly.

"It's because you are older and more knowledgeable. You are right. Let's rest for a night."

There was a short pavilion ahead, and the two drove the cart there and stopped the mule cart.

"There is a fence at the edge of this field, just to tie the mules."

"Don't tie it there, be careful, these beasts gnawed the wheat seedlings in the middle of the night."

The two coachmen took off the mule's gear and tied the mule to the post of the short pavilion.

Come and come down to help, picking up dead branches that fell from the ground.

"These logs are all wet, I'm afraid it's not easy to make a fire." Li Chefu frowned and sighed.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Yun got out of the car: "Don't worry, you two, we brought some charcoal fire."

Old Li: "?"

Which family even takes charcoal with them when they travel far?

The two were dumbfounded as Qiao Yun came out of the car carrying a small wooden box, opened it, and found that there were neat black charcoal and rough paper to ignite the fire.

Old Li gave a thumbs up to Qiao Yun: "Certainly, I have served so many guests, and you are the first one to bring them all together! Isn't the luggage heavy?"

"It's not much, hehe." Qiao Yun smiled playfully, handed over the wooden box, and took out a small bamboo tube from her purse: "Here, Huozhezi."

The ground of the pavilion is made of bluestone bricks, and a circle is surrounded by a few loose stones in the middle. If you take a light, you can see some scorched traces and some burnt plant ash in this circle. It is specially circled for fire.

Old Li Tou and Sun Laosan lit the bonfire and chewed dry food with cold water.What they eat is a kind of food called "卧", which is to fry rice or noodles, add water and knead them into lumps, and then dry them. It is dry and has no taste at all.

In particular, the poor people still use some rough miscellaneous grains for embarrassment, which makes their throats louder.

This is Qiao Yun's second time sleeping in the wild.

She looked at the two coachmen and felt a little compassion.

"Gu Yu, did you take the clay pot I asked you to take?"

"Take it." Gu Yu rummaged through the box again, and finally found a clay pot the size of a braised chicken.She took out all the seasoning bottles and jars that were temporarily put inside, and asked, "Master, do you want to cook something?"

"Yeah. I remember that there are still a lot of those rice balls. You add water to make rice. Let's eat with the two drivers outside."

Gu Yu obeyed the order and went out with the clay pot and water bag.Could it be that the owner has long wanted to invite people on the road to eat?She even prepared a few more wooden bowls and chopsticks. Before leaving, Gu Yu asked the owner why the four of them needed eight sets of bowls and chopsticks.

Hearing that the owner wanted to cook hot soup and rice, both Lao Litou and Sun Sanlang thanked him repeatedly.

Gu Yu's craftsmanship is very good, or Qiao Yun's craftsmanship is very good.The simple white water boiled rice balls are also cooked thick and delicious. The pork and bacon are slowly rolled over by the hot water, and the tempting aroma of meat drifts away with the wind and rain.

Not only seductive, but attractive to something that is not human.

"Aww——" came the long wolf howl.

Everyone's faces turned pale.

In the wilderness, this sound is too scary!
