Being fooled by fierce beasts to travel through the beginning is fleeing famine

Chapter 156 Northwest? (seeking subscription and monthly ticket)

One person and one beast looked at each other in the dark, and finally Qingyan broke the silence, "What should I do now? Why don't you try and see if you can contact Xiangxiang? First ask the time over there, it's been a day since we're here , Knowing how long it has passed over there, you should be able to calculate it."

Chou Chou nodded, and tried to contact Xiangxiang with his mind.

Qingyan also tried to call Xiangxiang, but she tried several times, but there was no response at all.

It seems that either the distance is too far, or they are blocked by the barrier of time and space after entering this time and space.

There is no way, now I can only resign myself to fate. If I am lucky, it will be the same as the previous space-time flow rate. If I am unlucky, I can only try it when Chou Chou recovers almost.

However, for the sake of insurance, it must not go into the space-time crack like before. This time, there is no other spirit stone to replenish its energy.

well?No, isn't that spirit stone can replenish spirit energy by itself?

"Chou Chou, can the spirit stone inside the off-road vehicle be taken out? If it can be taken out, if there is spirit energy outside, can it be filled again?"

Chou Chou raised his eyebrows, but he didn't think about it. He thought that it hadn't completely absorbed the spiritual energy in the spirit stone before, and there was still a little residual energy in it.

"You can try. If I recover quickly, I can try to contact Xiangxiang again. Maybe it's because the energy in my body is exhausted that I can't contact it."

After a pause, he continued: "The aura in the air here is stronger than that of the later generations. If it is in the later generations, if the spirit stone is left outside for a few days, the aura is enough to provide the needs of the car. To say that it can carry us through time and space." The strength of that is certainly far from enough.

At the very least, if the top-quality spirit stone is fully charged, it will be ready for any danger. "

Speaking of this, Chou Chou suddenly thought that the spirit stone could illuminate, and said to Qingyan: "How about I give you a small piece, which can be placed in the carriage for lighting."

Qingyan thought for a while but shook her head and said: "It's better not to, if someone finds it outside, it will be a treasure at a glance, and it will be troublesome if someone comes to snatch it.

Besides, a whole piece of Lingshi has more energy. If you deduct one piece, will it not have enough energy? "

Chou Chou shook his head, "It won't have any effect if it's less, as long as it doesn't break it."

Qingyan didn't stop it after hearing what it said.

Chou Chou then took out the spirit stone from the car, and if he didn’t take it out, he had to stay in this world if he wanted to fill the spirit stone with the spirit energy of this world. Not full.

There is no aura in its space, and it is almost full of violence.

Although there was very little spirit energy left in the spirit stone, the light it emitted was still very bright. Only the stone the size of an adult's fist illuminated the entire carriage as brightly as day, and Qingyan subconsciously covered her eyes with her hands.

Of course, this is because of the small space in the carriage, and the brightness is enough, at least equivalent to a 100w light bulb.

After Qingyan and Chouchou made sure that there were no people outside, they took the spirit stone and climbed outside the car. Immediately, the light in the wide area became less bright, and it could only illuminate within about ten meters.

There's nothing to see outside, it's all wilderness, not even a little green. Occasionally there is a little movement, and Chouchou says it's a gopher.

After looking at it for a while, I will go to the carriage shed again. It is still warmer than outside, at least there is no wind.

She put the down jacket on her body, and she became much warmer in an instant. By the way, she also covered the Lingshi, and the carriage was plunged into darkness again in an instant.

This discovery made her heave a sigh of relief. Fortunately, at least it could be hidden, otherwise it might attract the coveted eyes of others.

Qingyan sighed, and said to Chouchou: "It would be great if we had a lantern, we can put this inside the lantern, so that even outsiders can't see it for a while, it's better to hide it."

Of course, you can't take a closer look. If you look carefully, you will definitely be discovered. After all, even the flames in the lantern will shake, but this will not.

Chouchou took out a piece of light-yellow cloth they bought earlier from the space, tore off a small piece, and then used his claws to pick out a fingernail-sized piece from the spirit stone.

Then he put the large piece of spirit stone back under the down jacket, and the fingernail-sized piece was not so bright inside the carriage, it felt like a candle was lit inside.

Then Chou Chou wrapped the little yellow cloth, and the light instantly turned yellow, very close to candlelight.

"Look, isn't this the same as the light of a candle? We'll just put it in a lantern then."

"This is possible, but we still have to go to the town to see it. We haven't confirmed what dynasty it is now, or which parallel time and space it is, just like the silver ticket of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms before, this side of the world does not know. Do you have any candles?"

Chou Chou nodded in agreement. It is true that after getting the town, he must observe it. He must not act rashly. The small mountain villages he saw before used torches or oil lamps. He did not pay attention when he was investigating the military camp. these details.

"There are no towns within these twenty miles, but there are some small villages, but most of them are in the mountains or some places near the mountains, and there are indeed no candles.

I don't know if it is the reason for the frequent wars here, or what is going on, not to mention there are no towns, and a few scattered small villages are also living in seclusion. "

"Then go along the road for a while and have a look. If there is a village, you can go and find out where it is after dawn."

Chouchou took out an empty milk bottle from the space, which is a transparent glass bottle with a relatively large mouth, so you can put the spirit stone in it directly.

Chouchou took off the small piece of cloth first, and put the spirit stone in with a bang.

But the carriage was bumping back and forth, and the bottle couldn't hold it at all, it would always fall over.

Qingyan looked at the shed of the carriage, and said to Chou Chou: "See if there is any fine hemp rope, why not tie the bottle to the shed, just like a chandelier."

Chou Chou hurriedly searched in the space, "The hemp rope is gone, it was used to tie straw mats before."

Qingyan thought for a while and said: "Then tear off a piece of muslin cloth, and you can use this to tie it up."

Chouchou then took out the remaining muslin cloth from the space, Qingyan tore off a finger-wide strip at one end, wrapped it around the mouth of the bottle a few times and tied it tightly, and tied the bottle to the shed wall on one side.

It still wobbles a bit, but it won't bump into her or fall off.

Chou Chou took a look, and gave Qingyan a thumbs up with her little paw, "Yanyan, you will figure out a way, when we get to the town, buy some things and make this car shed a good place, then it will be even better .”

In fact, they can also buy a better carriage, preferably the one with a carriage, but it will be a bit eye-catching if they travel long distances, and they may encounter more troubles on the road.

In another shed like this, they can drive cars in it. It's a bit weird that there is no driver outside the car.

Their current shed is not good enough, it can only block the wind on both sides, the front and back are still connected, and the back is only wrapped with trees and vines to ensure that things cannot fall out.

There is no way, there are only two straw mats, so we can only block the two sides first. Fortunately, the wind is blowing from the northwest. If they go east, it is equivalent to going with the wind, which is not bad. If it is against the wind, it will be even more uncomfortable. .

The wind on the plain is not as strong as that in the mountains, that is, it is around two or three levels. Except for being colder, everything else is fine.

So now she is covered with a down jacket, unlike Chou Chou and Little Leopard who have fur, and it is still a bit cold at night.

Another thing is that there is no padding underneath, except for a layer of cloth, which is a wooden board. The wooden boards of the carriage are not as tight as the later generations. There are many gaps, and the air leaks straight up. I can't help but wrap the down jacket under the legs and pad it halfway. Son, cover half of it.

After you decide, you must buy a few more quilts and put them in the space for emergencies.

And this grass mat, if you encounter grass that is suitable for weaving mats later, you have to weave a few more sheets, at least a few more layers to make it softer.

Qingyan raised her hand and looked at her watch, it was already past twelve o'clock in the evening.

Turning around, he asked Chou Chou: "The clock is turning, are you hungry? Would you like some supper?"

Chou Chou shook his head, it wasn't hungry at all, but he could tell that the little girl was hungry, so he took out two baked eggs and a washed peach and handed them to her.

"Eat it, this is still warm, do you want milk or soda?"

Qingyan picked up the egg and shook her head, "No, this peach juice is quite watery, soda is still enjoyable when it's hot."

She was a little tired of drinking milk, so she reminded herself not to forget to boil some water for later.

After eating two still warm baked eggs and eating that big peach, my stomach is full.

She wasn't sleepy yet, and the carriage was bumpy, so she didn't want to sleep very much, so she chatted with Chou Chou, talking about the past.

But after talking for a while, I felt a little bored again, "Chou Chou, take a look and see if you can see towns or some villages. If you can see them, let's find a place to rest and wait until dawn."

Chou Chou probed out his consciousness again, this time it didn't let it go.

After a while, Chou Chou said: "Finally there is a town! It has just entered the scope of my spiritual consciousness, and there are both south and north.

But it’s not easy to cross. I still have to cross the big river to go south. I didn’t find a place where I could cross the river. There was no bridge and I didn’t see a boat. I don’t know how these people got there.

If you go to the north, you have to climb over a mountain. There is a road on the mountain, but it doesn't look too easy to walk. It should be that no one has passed by for a long time, and many places can no longer be seen.

Let's look forward, maybe there will be one in the east. "

The best way to go now is to go east. You can walk along the main road, and you may be able to see it after walking for an hour.

Qingyan had no objection, and asked Chouchou to tell her what those two cities were like, they were different from Hancheng or Xingtang Mansion.

Chou Chou described to her: "The straight line to the south is not far from our side, and the river should be about seven or eight kilometers away. It seems that the size of the city is about the same as Hancheng, but it seems that there is no city wall in Hancheng. So strong.

I feel that the construction should have been rushed, a bit like a temporary construction, and there are not many people in it, there are a few shops here and there, and there are many military households and soldiers, which may be used by the garrison.

There is also a city in the north, which is farther than the one in the south. My spiritual sense can only see half of the city, and the other half cannot be seen. The half here should be a residential area, with rows of private houses , There are no shops on the street. It may be the same as that in Nanan City. There are stalls during the day and they leave at night.

Qingyan nodded, both sides are indeed not suitable for the past, and now she is looking forward to the appearance of a city not far to the east.

Thinking of the scene outside just now, and the village they saw at the bottom of the mountain before, if it wasn't for the loess here instead of yellow sand, she would have thought they were outside the Great Wall.

wrong!

Thinking of this, Qingyan said to Chouchou: "Do you think we will just go beyond the Great Wall? Beyond the Great Wall in the northwest? Isn't the Northwest the Loess Plateau in later generations? The plants in the mountains and the climate seem to be very similar."

Chou Chou thought about the appearance of the previous city, it is really possible, but that side is not as desolate as this side. Of course, the city must be built in some good locations, and there is no need to build a city in a place that is not suitable for living.

"If we are still in the previous time and space, it is very likely that we have come to the northwest, but how can we explain that there are so many mountains in that big river? Didn't you hear that the northwest should be relatively dry?"

Chou Chou said suspiciously, in his impression, the northwest he saw in later generations was grassland or loess, not such a beautiful place.

This Qingyan really knows, "The drought should be caused by years of deforestation, and it will become more serious in later generations. I heard from my father that the vegetation in the northwest was still very lush before, because many dynasties built their capitals and cities here. Cut down and build houses indiscriminately, and the trees will become dry after there are fewer water and soil erosion."

Chou Chou said that it is not very clear about these things, but it seems to be quite reasonable.

Those deserts in later generations can be cured, and after planting trees, they gradually turn into green lands, which shows that this is the reason.

Qingyan turned the topic back, "The most urgent thing now is to find a place where there are people and ask, you write down the name of the city, and when we get to the town, we can pretend to ask the direction of the city, so that people think we are in the wrong place Now, you can find out where this is by the way, otherwise you won't have anything to talk to others about."

Chou Chou looked at the name on the city gate again, he didn't recognize the characters on the north one, but he recognized the one on the south one, and said to Qingyan: "The city in the north seems to be called Tianshui City."

Qingyan: "Tianshui City? This can't be Gansu, can it?"

Chou Chou shook his head, "I don't know."

It still doesn't know some geographical locations very specifically, it only knows some big cities and famous places, some haven't been to it, and it can't remember the names after hearing it.
