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

Qingyan unloaded the big bear from the cart without the help of her assistant, pushed the carriage into the shed, and put it on the low wall. Then she took the big bear to see the house where the livestock was kept.

There are already two cows and one donkey in the house, but it is quite clean. Someone must have cleaned it specially, and there is not much odor.

It's just not warm enough, probably because it's been in disrepair for a long time. There's a crack on the wall on the north side, and there's some air leakage.

Qingyan thought for a while, then went out and took a piece of sheepskin from the carriage and put it on the big bear. The sheepskin was hung on the wall of the carriage before, so she sewed straps on the four corners, which could be tied under its belly. It should be much warmer at night.

Then I fed it a piece of rock candy to add some calories.

The big bear finished eating happily and licked the palm of her hand.

Qingyan patted it and told it: "Be good to yourself, don't bully other animals, and don't be bullied, you know."

Big Bear nodded obediently, indicating that he understood.

Qingyan then went out, took Yuanbao out of the carriage, took out a large bundle for cover, and returned to the front.

Halfway through the aisle, I met the father and son with Chinese characters. They must have gone to the back to park the car.

As they passed each other, the two of them smiled at Qingyan, and Qingyan smiled back and nodded, which was considered a greeting.

Back to the front, Qingyan followed the man directly to the second floor. After the man opened the door and asked him to bring dinner and hot water, she was not ready to go down.

Anyway, there isn't much to see in this town. It's going to be dark soon, so I can go to bed after eating and washing up.

What we ate at night was still noodle soup. This one was warm when I ate it, while the other ones got cold after a while and I couldn’t wait to finish them.

After the meal, the waiter came up and cleared the dishes before bringing the hot water. Qingyan did not wash in the guest room. It was too cold, even if there was a brazier.

She went directly to ChouChou's space to wash, letting ChouChou take cover outside, and then pour the water into the tub outside after washing.

She took a quick bath and washed her hair at the same time. She also found a surprise. After washing her hair, she stayed in the house with the formation for a while and her hair was dry.

This is a great discovery. She used to wash her hair as little as possible because her hair grew and dried slowly. She used to wash her hair every other day, but now she washes it every seven or eight days.

Although her hair is not oily, her scalp always feels itchy, which is probably due to her own psychology.

It was past ten o'clock when she came out of the space. The change in temperature made her shiver. She quickly asked Chouchou to take out the bedding from the space and put the inn's quilt underneath. There was residual warmth from the space on the bedding. I felt much better instantly after entering.

Chou Chou and Yuan Bao also got into bed, and Qingyan felt even warmer when two furry little stoves joined them.

The charcoal basin had no chimney and was a bit choked. Qingyan asked Chou Chou to put it further away and extinguish the oil lamp at the same time.

After the room fell into darkness, Qingyan quickly fell asleep. She hadn't rested all day and was really tired.

Chou Chou unfolded his consciousness and paid attention to his surroundings, lest anyone with short eyes disturb Qingyan's rest.

By the way, I took a look at the people living in this inn. It wasn't that I wanted to do something bad, but I was just curious to see who lived here.

As a result, I overheard the conversation between the father and son and learned their identities.

It turned out that the two of them were from the garrison of Qinzhou Fucheng. The father was a young general and his son was under his command.

The two of them packed lightly and simply, not to prepare to go home, but to go to Yunzhou to meet Li Hao.

The reason why he takes such good care of Qingyan is that even though he doesn't do anything openly, he still takes care of her secretly.

It wasn't that Qingyan said she had met a good person and was worried that she, a little girl, would be in danger while traveling alone, but that the father and son had met her before in the Li Mansion.

Qingyan also stayed in Qinzhou City for a long time, and often went in and out with Xue Huan'er and her mother. It was normal for the other party to see her.

Moreover, she is not in disguise now, and Qingyan's appearance is so outstanding that she can be easily recognized.

The father and son can be regarded as relatives helping General Li take care of his grandson's wife.

Hearing this, Chou Chou immediately breathed a sigh of relief. As long as it was not for no reason, that would mean that the person was a good person and it was considered a favor that he owed others.

If this is bad, there must be something calculated.

Although it can detect whether there are murderous auras, evil auras, or other bad auras in a person, the human heart is always unpredictable.

Some people may not have any evil intentions at first, but after getting along with them, they find that you have a much better life than him, or that you are lucky and prettier than her, etc., which may lead to jealousy.

And these are all things that cannot be seen through the art of observing qi, so it is said that there is no love without reason, and there is no hatred without reason. There are some prerequisites. Now that I know the reason, Chou Chou no longer needs to be on guard all the time. .

But in this way, it may be difficult for them to get rid of each other and go on their own. Even if they set off early, it is estimated that the other party may follow behind and catch up.

And the other party didn't care, and there was no need to be so ignorant of good people. It seemed that they could only make do with going to Yunzhou together, but Qingyan would have a hard time along the way.

In fact, there is a way, that is, if you are traveling all the way, Qingyan can rest directly in the carriage. Anyway, Big Bear will go on his own. If the other party is curious, it can be said that Big Bear knows to follow the car in front, or that the old horse knows the way and knows him. Just the way back.

Now that we know each other, there is no need to be as cautious as before.

As for the oxcart team that came in behind them, they were also businessmen going to Yunzhou. They had no choice but to follow the official road. The next state was Yunzhou, so they must be on the way.

And those people are not together, it cannot be said that they are not together, not a family, they come here to purchase goods together.

Because it was not safe for only one family to come out, they were grouped together, so they were considered a group.

Along the way, the other party also noticed that Qingyan was traveling alone, but she didn't have any bad intentions and would not deliberately come up to talk to her. She was probably afraid of causing any misunderstanding.

That's fine. At least she should stay in an inn and be on her way. It's easy for Qingyan to eat and drink in the carriage without fear of others seeing her.In fact, other than not being able to stay in a wooden house at night and the inn where I stayed might be a little cold, the other effects were not that big.

When she woke up the next morning, Chou Chou told her the discovery.

Qingyan's eyes widened in surprise, and then she sighed and said, "So that's it. Although I said before that there are many good people in this world, I am still somewhat cautious and defensive, and I am afraid of what the other party's purpose is. Yes, it’s fine now, just know the reason.”

Then I heard Chou Chou say: "We may have to go to Yunzhou with each other next, so you have to be mentally prepared."

Qingyan waved her hands indifferently and said: "Let's just go with each other. At most, we can pretend to buy more things to save on the way, so that eating and drinking will not be so conspicuous.

Let's go out and buy some more dry food like steamed buns and sesame cakes. By the way, when I came in yesterday, I also saw a store selling dried meat. You can buy some to see if it tastes good. If it tastes good, you can buy more. "

Chou Chou nodded, "Okay, I'll secretly heat up delicious food for you in the carriage then."

After the two discussed, one returned to the space and the other went downstairs. Qingyan finished breakfast downstairs, settled the bill for the accommodation, then went upstairs to get the baggage, and came down again with Yuanbao in her arms.

When I was about to go to the backyard, I happened to bump into two father and son who were also going to the backyard after dinner.

The two of them nodded towards Qingyan again, and Qingyan responded directly: "What a coincidence, you two are also about to set off?"

Seeing that Qingyan had spoken, the two of them responded: "Yes, the girl is about to leave too. Let's go to Yunzhou. If the girl stops by, we can go together."

Now that she knew that the other party did have good intentions, Qingyan simply nodded in agreement, "Thank you both very much. I am going back to Youzhou and happened to pass by Yunzhou."

Since the two of them are subordinates of the Li Mansion, they should know that she is from Youzhou.

Sure enough, after she finished speaking, she saw a flash of confusion in their eyes.

The father said: "That's just right. We can go to Yunzhou together. If you have anything to ask us along the way, you're welcome to greet us."

He originally wanted to give them instructions, but after realizing something was wrong, he temporarily changed it to greeting them.

Qingyan bowed to the other party, "Thank you very much."

After another polite exchange, the three of them arrived in the backyard together. Qingyan did not go to the place where the animals were kept first, because she knew that the father and son were coming later, and the horse must be outside Big Bear, so she waited until they took the horse out before she went in to get it. Bring out the big bear.

The two of them had hitched up the carriage. They originally wanted to come over to help, but they found that Qingyan had already hitched up the carriage skillfully.

The sheepskin that Big Bear was wearing was not untied. After asking him and knowing that it would not be uncomfortable, he just put it on. It could also reduce the friction of the frame on his body, and it could also keep him warm if there was strong wind on the road.

The father and son looked at the sheepskin on the big bear, then looked at their own horse, and found that the sheepskin covering the horse seemed to be quite good.

They unloaded the cart again and wrapped it in a layer of sheepskin. However, there were no straps sewn on the sheepskin, so they could only poke four holes in the four corners with a temporary dagger, and then tied it with hemp rope.

Sure enough, after putting on the sheepskin, the horse seemed to be more energetic and no longer languid from the cold like before.

Then he hitched the carriage again and put the luggage into the carriage again.

Qingyan was also putting baggage and ingots inside, so she happened to keep the carriage door open.

This was the first time they took a close look at Qingyan's carriage, and they could just see the sheepskins hanging on the wall of the carriage behind and the leather mattress underneath.

Why didn't they think of this trick? Instead of just rolling up the sheepskin and wrapping it, it would be better to hang it on the walls of the carriage, so that it would be much warmer inside.

Because the charcoal stove was in the corner behind the carriage door, they didn't see it. Otherwise, the two of them might have been even more surprised that there was a stove in the carriage.

Qingyan put the Yuanbao on the seat in the carriage and did not close the carriage door. There was some smell from the charcoal stove that was burning all the way.

After the two father and son's cars were driven out first, they followed and drove the cars out as well. There was no other way, as the passage out could only pass one carriage.

As soon as I turned onto the main street, I saw five middle-aged men wearing leather hats coming out. They were the same people who drove the cattle cart before.

They only glanced at their carriage and went directly to the backyard. They seemed to be preparing to leave.

When we arrived at the center of the town, we originally wanted to stop the carriage and buy some dried meat, but found that the shop hadn't opened yet. Maybe it was a little early and the other party hadn't gotten up yet. I thought about it, forget it. There was no need to knock on other people's doors. A family didn't live in this store, so they just drove the carriage and followed the car in front out of the town.

After getting on the official road, the distance between the two carriages became slightly wider. Of course, it was not far away. If people looked at it, it would seem that they were walking together.

Only then did Chou Chou come out of the space and start lighting the charcoal stove in the carriage.

Qingyan was already frozen to the bone, especially her neck and face. The hood of this cloak was a bit big and it had no effect after wearing it. She thought that when she went back to the county or capital city, she must buy a rabbit skin hat and A scarf should be more comfortable.

Sheepskin is fine when worn on the body, but a bit rough when used as a scarf or hat.

They had often shot rabbits before and had a lot of rabbit skins, so they didn't think about buying rabbit skins when they bought furs.

But even though their own rabbit skins were simply tanned, they still had some peculiar smell, so it was a bit jarring for her to make them directly into hats and scarves. Buying other people's rabbit skins at least had no smell, and she didn't know how they made it, at least at first sight. Not seeing is pure.

So now she could only make do with it. She tried to tighten the hood as much as possible with her hands to prevent the wind from getting in.

After Chou Chou lit the charcoal stove and the car slowly became warmer, Qingyan thought for a moment and took off her cloak and covered her body with it. This way, her back faced the inside of the car, so she could better absorb the heat, and her front also Covered tightly.

Seeing how uncomfortable she was, Chou Chou said to her: "Yanyan, why don't you go into the carriage and stay, and I will take your place and sit in front. I can withstand the cold better than you."

Qingyan wondered: "How are you going to replace me? Do you want to turn into a human form? Doesn't it mean that turning into a human form consumes too much energy? Forget it, I'll just hold on for a few days."

"I don't need to turn into a human form. I just need to change into a body shape similar to yours. I put on a hood to cover myself more tightly. I put on your cloak and tried not to show my face. It's okay to only show my eyes. I'm sure. I thought you were afraid of the cold so you showed your eyes."

Qingyan thought for a while and then looked at Chou Chou's eyes. Well, Chou Chou's eyes are quite beautiful. Although it looks like a monkey, the hair on its body is more individual, but its eyes have big double eyelids. If you compare it with other If everything is covered and only the eyes are exposed, most people really can't see it.
