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

There is a deep ditch under the slope where they are now. If it is in the south where there is a lot of rain, there must be water in this deep ditch, but here there is no, and there are deep weeds underneath.

On the opposite side is also a relatively steep slope. After going up the slope, there is a large piece of wasteland. It seems that there are not even dense weeds, which means that the soil on the land is not fertile at all, and even the grass does not grow well.

That kind of land is either heavy in salinity or mostly sandy.

Fortunately, they had pumped enough water in the pool to fill up the wooden basins, wooden buckets and clay pots. They didn’t walk too fast when they walked this way, but they didn’t spill much. It’s not a problem to make a few meals of.

Generally, when there is no water source around, they will not wash up.After all, there are nearly twenty people now, and it takes a lot of water just to wash their hands.

Of course, hands still need to be washed. There is a lot of dust on hands when harvesting and rubbing wheat, and a basin of water is basically enough for everyone to use in rotation.

It is used by the women who cook first, and they have to wash their hands before cooking, and finally by the men who come back from harvesting the wheat.

Qingyan felt a little uncomfortable without taking a bath, the wheat mang on the wheat ears felt itchy on her body, especially when it was hot and sweaty.

Qingyan really wanted to find a place to take a bath, but there was no chance, everyone had to go to the toilet together, and there was no chance to go alone.

Others are fine, they should be more used to it.

After all, it is in the wilderness, even if there are no wild animals here, there will be snakes, insects, rats and ants.

Not to mention, Li Hao and Wang Gan actually caught a snake when they went for convenience after dinner at night. It was a non-venomous vegetable snake.

When I brought it back, everyone present saw that no one was afraid, and even the elder sister and brother were excited. In their eyes, snakes are equal to meat, and there is nothing to be afraid of. Their parents also brought them back to them. Added vegetables.

Li Hao and the others also brought back another news. They found a cave under the slope, which seemed to be dug by someone.

"The reason why we found this snake just now is because a gray rabbit ran past us. We were chasing the rabbit, but it was too dark, and the color of the rabbit was very similar to that on the ground. gone.

Then they happened to see a reflection on the ground, which turned out to be a small piece of gold, and then they found the hole and the snake at the entrance of the hole. They didn't light a torch, so they had to come back first.

The moonlight is very good today, so even if it is already dark, the light is still ok.

Everyone was very excited when they heard that there was gold. It was gold, and it could be used to buy food when they came to towns!

So Yang Dashan took the three men and Li Hao to the cave with torches to have a look.

The rest of the people were waiting in place with excited faces.

"If there is a lot of gold in it, the rest of us will be easier."

"Yes, yes, you can buy a lot of food, and you can settle down in a safe city..."

"At that time we will still live together, and we will take care of each other..."

"..."

Listening to their lively discussion, Qingyan looked at the moon and counted the days. It should be about the tenth day of the ninth day of the lunar calendar. The day she came here happened to be the fifteenth day of the sixth lunar month, and now it has been almost twenty days.

In a few days, it will be July [-]th, and she should go back, and she doesn't know if she can go to Hancheng in these few days.

If it's safe there, settle down the people in Yangjiaping, and by the way, she can see what the ancient city looked like.

This way down the road, apart from being in the deep mountains, it is this kind of remote small village. Compared with the impoverished areas in later generations, there is really no big difference except that the conditions are more backward.

Thinking of this, Qingyan sighed, and said to Chouchou in her arms: "Go back and ask the passing bird, how far is the nearest city from here? I don't know if we can still see it." .”

Chou Chou, who was lying on his stomach enjoying Qingyan's fur and was comfortable, turned over, squeezed the little leopard to the side, and turned his face to Qingyan.

"I asked a long time ago. When you harvested the wheat at noon, I asked a passing swallow that there is a road through this wasteland.

Walking along the main road for about a day, there was a city with many people in it. The swallow didn't know what city it was, because it couldn't read after all.

However, according to what Yang Dashan said before, it should be Hancheng. In this era, the cities that can build city walls and gates are generally some big cities, and some small towns basically have denser houses and do not build city walls. "

Qingyan helped the little leopard that was about to fall, and put it inside, so as not to be crowded into it again.

"That's good, at least there is hope."

Thinking of something, Qingyan asked again: "Did the swallow say, did you meet people like us when you flew all the way here?"

Chou Chou replied: "Really, that Swallow said that he met several groups of people like us on the road, but they were all on the main road, and they should all flee south to avoid the Khitan people. If we mixed in with those fleeing crowd, we should not be conspicuous."

Qingyan nodded, that's right, I'm afraid that there are no escaped people like them on the road, and those words will be more eye-catching. We are on the same road with everyone, not to mention taking care of each other, as long as we don't walk far away, at least we can Deterring some people who want to do bad things is also an indirect mutual care.
