Ancient natural disaster: The whole family went to escape together

Chapter 52 On the Road 1
Su Yuanshan was so nervous that he did not dare to speak. He glanced behind him and signaled that he would turn the carriage around and leave here immediately.

Mrs. Zhao's lips trembled with fear, and she slowly moved back the torch she held in her hand, and stuffed Su Bujing in her arms into the car at the back.

Su Buyi and Su Buwei in the carriage quickly caught Su Bujing and put him behind them.

They stared at the car door in panic, grabbed the blanket with both hands, and did not dare to move.

Outside the carriage, Su Yuanshan got off the carriage lightly, held the horse's head, and turned around gently.

The horse obediently followed Su Yuanshan and turned its head, and the car behind it made a "gurgling" sound as the wheels turned.

Mrs. Zhao, Su Bujing and others in the carriage covered their mouths and noses nervously, for fear that this movement would disturb the big snake in the tree.

Unfortunately...

The big snake noticed the movement of the carriage and turned its head quickly, staring straight at Su Yuanshan with its big black eyes.

It slowly climbed down from the tree, its body rubbing against the rough trunk, making a "swishing" sound.

It gives people goosebumps for no reason.

Su Yuanshan's breath was suffocated, a chill arose in his heart, and he broke into a cold sweat.

The reins in his hands were suddenly tightened. Su Yuanshan did not move much, but quickly pulled the horse and completely turned the carriage around.

After the horse started running, Su Yuanshan jumped up and jumped onto the edge of the car. He slapped the horse's butt with his right hand and ran away quickly.

After running away, Su Yuanshan looked back from time to time to check the situation, but he didn't have a torch to light up, so he couldn't see clearly whether the big snake was catching up.

All I could hear was the rustling of leaves behind me.

Su Yuanshan swallowed, not daring to think deeply, and just rushed forward with his eyes closed.

Mrs. Zhao came out of the carriage, held the torch with both hands, and sat next to Su Yuanshan to light the way for him.

The family just ran back wildly without saying a word.

It wasn't until the torch in Zhao's hand was almost burned out that he slowly stopped.

"Are the children okay? Are they not scared?" Su Yuanshan looked at the car door anxiously and asked.

"It's okay, Dad! Where did we run to?" Su Bujing replied.

After Su Yuanshan heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief and took the torch from Zhao's hand, "It's an open space. There are no woods or anything like that this time!"

He was frightened!

This thrilling experience made Su Yuanshan completely numb.

It’s not that simple to survive. The cost of trial and error is too high!
The carriage gradually came to a stop, and Su Bujing was the first to jump out of the carriage, "Dad, that big snake just now may have caused the rocks to collapse due to the previous earthquake."

"The animals in the rocks were just shaken out."

Can such a big snake be shaken out? !

Su Buyi came out immediately, his Adam's apple twitching slightly: "In that case, there are more than just snakes. After all, there are many animals in the rocks. If they are all shaken down, then we..."

Su Buyi did not continue what he said later, but everyone here was not a fool, so they naturally knew the seriousness of the matter.

Su Yuanshan thought for a while and said: "We will try to avoid places like woods and grass on our way."

"Jing Niang, have you collected realgar, mugwort or other things?"

Now that they knew that earthquakes would knock out many things on the mountains, they had to prepare in advance.

Snakes, rats, insects, ants, centipedes, scorpions, etc. may all appear.

If you don’t take precautions in advance, it will be too late when the end comes!
Zhao closed her eyes and counted, nodded and said: "Yes, there are many more! Especially mugwort."

Originally, she didn't want to have realgar in her hands.

But Bu Yi tried to persuade her, saying that when she went out, she would inevitably encounter venomous snakes. There was no harm in buying some and they wouldn't take up much space anyway.fortunately!

Thanks to Su Buyi's prudent approach to things, he could do everything he could think of.

When Su Bujing and others heard this, they suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mom, let's sprinkle some realgar on the carriage! Snakes are too scary! They almost sent me away just now!"

Su Bugui had a grimace on his face, and when he mentioned the word "snake", he shook his body unconsciously.

Not only was Su not afraid of anything, he was afraid of his parents' fists, his sister ignoring him, and cold snakes.

"Dad, grandma, why don't we stop here for a while and arrange the carriage properly before setting off!"

Su Bujing suggested crisply.

If a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his tools. Only when they arrange the carriage perfectly can they get twice the result with half the effort and travel without worries.

So, the Su family stopped the carriage on the spot, picked up the realgar in Zhao's hand, and sprinkled it around the carriage.

From the roof to the wheels, even the door gaps of the carriage were sprinkled with realgar to ensure that snakes could stay three feet away from them.

Then, they hung four small hollow stoves at the four corners of the carriage, and the stoves were filled with mugwort.

The thick smell of mugwort filled the entire carriage to prevent other rats from approaching.

At the same time, each member of the Su family wore a sachet filled with mugwort.

After doing this, Su Bujing and others checked everything one by one, and only after confirming that nothing was missing, they set off on the road again.

On the way, although the smell was a bit stronger, Su Bujing and others felt particularly at ease.

Woohoo...as long as there are no poisonous insects or snakes, they can accept it no matter how unpleasant the smell is!
In this way, the family walked tirelessly in the dark night.

When the honey candle burned out, they stopped to eat.

"What do you want to eat this time?" Ms. Zhao asked with raised eyebrows.

"Aniang! Did you buy a sheep's head pick? I want to eat a sheep's head pick!"

Su Bujing asked with shining eyes.

Mrs. Zhao nodded, "Yes! Knowing that Aguai likes to eat, how could Aniang not buy it?"

So, during this meal, each of the Su family ate a bowl of hot soup cakes and noodles, with sheep's head picks on them, and ate them all while snoring.

Finally, Ms. Zhao took a small plate of candied green plums and asked everyone to adjust the taste.

Su Buying wiped his mouth, took the small kettle on his waist, poured half a bowl of Xianfu water for each of his family members, and watched them drink it before finishing.

Although they were on their way to escape from famine, their little life was really nourishing!

After the family had eaten and drank enough, they continued on their way.

Although they have no sense of direction and no destination, they don't feel uncomfortable.

Sometimes, it's better not to meet anyone than to meet them...

On the way, Su Bujing and others played dice in the car because they were bored on the road.

It is a game of guessing numbers. One person rolls the dice, and the other person writes the guessed number on the paper. The one who guesses wrong either recites a poem or sings a song.

Su Buwei had the worst luck. After guessing the wrong number, he couldn't hold back a crooked poem for a long time, so he sang a mountain tune for everyone.

The low-pitched voice sang loudly, and the high-pitched singing voice made Su Bujing and others laugh so hard that they punched the car wall.

Even Su Yuanshan and Zhao outside the carriage couldn't help laughing.
