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

I originally thought that the rain would stop for a day and a night, but it was still raining the next morning, but it was much lighter than yesterday, a little heavier than light rain, and not to the point of moderate rain.

It was quite uncomfortable to drive on this day, especially since the bullock cart driven by Xia Xinman and Xiao Qingfeng did not have a shed. Not only the people, but also the goods on the cart would have been soaked if it had been raining.

Their car is now in the backyard of the inn, where there is a shed specifically for parking animals and cars, so they discussed it when they went downstairs for breakfast and decided to wait and see. If the rain stops at noon, they will leave. If it doesn't stop, they will leave again. Stay one night.

After a few people finished eating, they sat in the lobby chatting. Qingyan suggested to Xia Xinman and the others: "Actually, your oxcart can be used to make a simple shed using bamboo mats in the future. We have done it before.

Just use a bamboo pole to make a bracket, bake it with fire to make it arched, and then fix it on the frame of the bike. Just add a layer of oilcloth on top, which will not only prevent rain but also prevent the sun. "

Xia Xinman and Xia Xinman looked at each other and both thought this was a good idea. There might not be anything else here, but there was no shortage of bamboo. Not to mention the mountains, you could see a clump of bamboo at any time on the roadside.

Xia Xinman said, "Then let's go buy two mats and bamboo poles right now. We have them on the tarpaulin truck. We might as well put them up today so they can be used on the road. This spring is the rainy season. It rains as soon as you ask." "

Chen Jinshi also thinks this is better. There is indeed a lot of rain here in spring. Sometimes it is sunny in the morning and then rains in the afternoon. Therefore, you must bring an umbrella, raincoat, and oilcloth when going out here.

Since she was going to make a shed, Qingyan helped to calculate the materials to be used, and said: "You guys buy four mats, two are just enough for a car, so that the front can be covered and the rain can be blocked when driving." .

It is best to prepare two extra pieces of oilcloth, as well as fine hemp rope, which is used when binding mats and fixing mats and oilcloths. Buy more. "

There is no need to cover the cows. The cows here like to swim in the water and are not afraid of the rain, so all we need to do is to set up the car, mainly to cover the goods and people.

So they had something to do in the morning. Xia Xinman went shopping, while Qingyan and Huang Huang went to measure the dimensions of two oxcarts and planned to help design how to make them better.

Yuan Bao didn't want to stay in the house, but Chen Jinshi also wanted to see how it was done, so he took him with him.

There is a back door on the first floor of the guest room, which leads directly to the backyard. People can go directly there without having to go around outside, so they don't need to hold an umbrella.

Qingyan briefly took a look at the edge of the oxcart. It should have been repaired recently and there was no damage. The bamboo pole frame could be tied directly to it in a while.

But we need to unload the cargo first. There is a lot of cargo and it is piled high. It will be difficult to handle it if we don’t unload it. We can just load it up after the shed is completed.

But this will have to wait until Xia Xinman and the others come back. Since the owner is not here, it is not easy for them to touch other people's things.

Mats, bamboo poles, oilcloth and the like are easy to buy. Xia Xinman and the other two came back quickly. Because the one who went out was wearing a raincoat and carrying something, it was difficult to pass through the front guest room, so they went around from the passage to the car. .

Jin Jin and others stepped forward to help and took the things down. They took off their raincoats and bamboo hats before saying: "There is a grocery store not far from the door. All these things are available. We bought twenty bamboo poles. Do you see if they are enough? If it’s not enough, I’ll buy more.”

This bamboo pole was very cheap, twenty pieces cost only five cents. Of course, if it hadn't been raining, they would have gone to the roadside and cut it themselves for free.

Qingyan replied: "That's enough, that's enough. These bamboo poles are long enough. Ten of them are more than enough for a car. We have to move the goods down first, and then put them back after the shed is built, otherwise it will be difficult to kidnap the kid."

Xia Xinman and the other two nodded and said, "Okay, let's unload the goods right now. The two trucks we are pulling are all linen. It's not very heavy. We can unload it in a while."

Qingyan raised her eyebrows when she heard about linen cloth. This is a specialty here. I heard it has an ancient history. The cloth unearthed in Mawangdui contains it.

Linen has the characteristics of thick, fine, light and thin. First of all, it is light and breathable. Secondly, linen is made of a purely natural fiber. Due to natural factors, this fabric has excellent moisture absorption, breathability and comfort, making it People will not feel stuffy or warm when wearing it in summer.

In addition, linen is different from most cloth fabrics in that it has very good air dissipation, so whether it is worn or hung, it is very comfortable and provides good transparency to the human body, making it more fashionable.

Its softness is unmatched by other fabrics, and it is also very smooth. The fibers inside are relatively small, and the surface of the fabric also has a soft feel.

The wearing feeling is also very comfortable and soft. Even if you wear a very tight top, you will not feel strangled. At the same time, it is breathable and sweat-absorbent in summer. It feels very fit when worn and will not make people feel stuffy.

Qingyan thought that she would find an opportunity to buy some ready-made clothes made of this linen cloth so that she could wear them directly in the summer. She also wanted to buy some fabrics to take back to future generations. The ancient clothes must be very different from those passed down by later generations.

After all, many things have changed in later generations. Everyone pays more attention to mass production and fast pace. Many inheritances have actually been discontinued, and I always feel that they are not so original.

As for why they didn't buy it from Xia Xinman and the others, isn't it because they are delivering goods to people's stores? These are all goods ordered by others. Without them, they would have to go back, which is not troublesome enough.

Qingyan and Jinhuang also helped to move down. Xia Xinman and the others refused at first, but later they saw that it was easier for them to unload than they often did manual labor, so they didn't say anything more and just silently sped up. Hand speed.

Qingyan gave the ingot to Chen Jinshi, so she didn't do anything. He also knew that he couldn't move that big roll of cloth by himself, so he didn't go up to cause trouble and just helped to look after the child.

The four people moved very quickly and finished unloading the two trucks in a few minutes.

Qingyan first took out a charcoal pot from their own carriage, (of course from the space) and lit the charcoal, which she would use to roast the bamboo poles later.

I gestured with the bamboo pole again and found that one was enough, and there was no need to pick it up from the middle, which would save trouble.

After the charcoal fire is lit, grill the bamboo pole and make it into an arch shape. After cooling down, it will be finalized.

Then let them fasten the two sides to the car with fine hemp ropes, and tie them from front to back. They even tied two ropes to the shaft of the car where the driver sat in front, so that the front could be covered.

This car can be brought in first, and the effect can be seen after it is finished, and then the second car can be made. If there are any problems, they can be corrected in time.

With more people and greater strength, the frame was tied up in a short while. She covered it with a bamboo mat and tried it. This bamboo mat was much better than the reed mat she used before. At least it was stiffer than the soft one, which was entirely supported by the frame. .

The bamboo mat can be tied directly to the bamboo pole, but the mat is very densely woven, so it takes some effort to thread the fine hemp rope.

The two mats just cover the shed tightly. Of course, there will be some overlap in the middle, which is inevitable.

After that, just cover it with a layer of oilcloth. The oilcloth only needs to be fixed on the front, back and bottom. Do not punch holes in the top, otherwise it will leak. It only took more than an hour to get this done, including the time for moving the goods.

Xia Xinman sat on it and tried it, and said with a smile: "This is really comfortable. It looks different. From now on, I can take my wife and children with me when I go to the town market!"

Xiao Qingfeng smiled and scolded: "You're thinking too far, your wife hasn't given birth yet, come down quickly and get my car too, it's going to rain a lot, we'll be on our way in the afternoon after we're done."

"Come on, come on, you're urging me as soon as I sit down, you're so impatient."

Xia Xinman muttered as she jumped out of the car.

There is no need for Qingyan to roast bamboo next. They have already learned how to do it and can do it by themselves.

The second one was much more skillful, and it took more than half an hour to finish. It was more delicate than the first one.

Qingyan and Jinhuang helped load the goods again. It was a bit more difficult to load the truck with the shed, but it didn't matter much.

The goods were all loaded, and there was still fifty or sixty centimeters left on top, so they could still put some things on top. Qingyan gave them two sheepskin mattresses, so they could lie on them when they stopped to rest.

The two of them insisted on giving money, and Qingyan definitely couldn't take it, but they felt sorry for asking for such a valuable thing for nothing, so they finally gave Qingyan a piece of linen.

This is the surplus they have set aside for buyers who place orders in order to avoid losses on the road.

Qingyan originally wanted to buy linen, so both parties would be satisfied with the exchange, which was the best of both worlds.

Chen Jinshi also fell in love with Qingyan's sheepskin mattress. The fur looked like the finest northern sheepskin, which was dense and heavy. It was perfect for putting on a carriage in spring, autumn and winter.

So she shamelessly wanted to buy one, but Qingyan was not polite to him. Who knew that he was not short of money at first glance? However, she was not prepared to ask for money, but exchanged a box of Huangjing with him.

That's right, it's the Chinese medicine Polygonatum. Chen Jinshi's family is from Naning County, where Polygonatum is produced, and his family is in the business.

This Polygonatum is a good thing. According to her pharmacopoeia, Polygonatum is sweet and mild in taste. It is mainly used for strokes, severe heat that cannot shake the muscles, muscles and muscles, and other deficiencies. Taking it for a long time will remove the darkening of the face and snoring. It will have a good color, moisturize, and lighten the body. Not old.

This small box is neither too much nor too little. She just uses it to make soup and stew meat for medicinal meals.

By this time, the rain had almost stopped, and only the drizzle was left, like mist. Now that they all had sheds, they didn't have to worry about being exposed for a long time and getting their clothes wet.

It was still morning, almost ten o'clock, and they were going to have lunch in advance and hit the road after eating.

Back to the front lobby, I asked the waiter to go to the back kitchen and order three dishes and a soup for them, as well as a large bowl of rice for each person.

Perhaps because they were the first ones, the food came quickly. They ate as quickly as possible and checked out of the room.

Qingyan had already packed her things when she got up in the morning, and put the repackaged items into the space, so she went up and took down a bag.

The same goes for Chen Jinshi and Xia Xinman. They all packed up when they got up in the morning and planned to stay there for the whole day.

When they put the car on and drove it out, the rain outside didn't show any sign of getting heavier, but it wasn't sunny either. It was still overcast, and it was probably going to rain some more.

Leaving the town, it is directly on the official road. The road is relatively easy to walk, but Qingyan and the others still have their car in front. Although Chen Jinshi and the others are more familiar with the road, they cannot resist Qingyan and the others because they have divine knowledge and can remember the road better than them. Make too much.

It had just rained and the road was very slippery. Although there were stone slabs in some places, it was inevitable that the wheels would sink in if they were not straightened, so the car leading the way was crucial.

As long as the car in front chooses the right route, the car behind can follow the ruts in front.

And when walking forward, Qingyan will first look at the road conditions in front of her, and Big Bear will also pay attention to it. If there is water, try to avoid it. It will move forward only if it goes down. If it is stuck in the horse's hoof, then go around to the side.

This prevents the wheels behind them from sinking, which makes their speed much faster than others, at least they don't have to waste time getting off the cart.

The three cars following behind had obviously discovered this situation. They would step into pits at first, but then they followed their tracks closely and never entered another pit.

If there were other cars behind him, he might have thought that there was only one car passing in front of him, but there were only two car tracks on the whole road.

Maybe it's because it's close to the town. There are many villages around, so there are more side roads.

Some of the forked roads are very wide. They are not horizontal cross roads or T-shaped roads. They go diagonally along the official road. If you are not familiar with the roads here, you will end up on the forked roads if you are not careful.

Fortunately, Qingyan used her spiritual consciousness to explore the direction ahead in advance and avoided taking the wrong path several times.

They had walked about five miles when the rain started to fall again. The raindrops were so heavy that they made the roof of the car crackle.

And it was a little windy today, but fortunately, the wind was still blowing from the northwest at the moment. They were going eastward, so they were going with the wind. Otherwise, even if the oxcart behind had a shed, it would have to go to the Xiamen driving the car. I am full of ideas from the two of them.

They didn't stop to take shelter from the rain. There were always people on the roadside, but they didn't plan to stay overnight. Anyway, the rain wasn't as heavy as yesterday, which was just light rain. They could still rush forward and try to get there as soon as possible. Let’s talk about it in the next town.

But they didn't expect that something unexpected happened when they reached a section of road with hills on both sides.

Qingyan's consciousness was always focused on the road ahead, and she didn't pay attention to the situation on both sides.

There was a rock sticking out of the mountain on the right side of the road. It seemed to be hanging there before. Perhaps because of the rain, the connection between the big stone and the mountain cracked. When they were about to pass by, it actually rolled down. Come down!
Fortunately, Qingyan and Huang Huang had good ears. They heard the sound of rolling stones immediately and quickly directed their consciousness in the direction of the sound. Only then did they discover the crisis.
