Ancient natural disaster: The whole family went to escape together

Chapter 53 On the Road 2
There were bursts of joyful laughter from the carriage, and as the firelight flickered, the dark night seemed no longer scary.

The carriage searched for a flat road, but occasionally encountered scattered broken trees and gravel blocking the road. After the family detoured several times, Su Bujing felt that it was troublesome.

After confirming that Zhao's space was still remaining, Su Bujing came up with an idea.

Whenever there were obstacles blocking the way, Zhao was asked to retract them into the space first, and then release the objects blocking the way after the carriage passed.

This eliminates the need for detours and is much more convenient.

Zhao readily agreed.

The family just walked and stopped along the way. Occasionally they would encounter some big holes that opened during the earthquake.

Whenever they encountered one, the Su family could only stay far away and take a detour.

Everyone has gradually become accustomed to operating in the dark.

Today, it’s time to stop and rest again.

Su Yuanshan took the horse to the side to feed the grass, and took care of the dirt and grass clippings stained on the outside of the carriage.

Zhao and Su Bujing held torches and went to pick up tree branches nearby. Su Buyi and Su Buwei quickly lit a fire on the spot.

The place where we parked suddenly became bright. At least for this moment, the darkness was dispelled.

The hot flames brought bursts of warmth and security. The Su family sat around the fire, each holding a roasted taro, looking at the fire and eating quietly.

Su Bujing looked up at the sky while eating.

I don’t know if the sky still exists?Or is there only land left now?

After all, being black like this is really no different from nothingness...

In the silence, Ms. Zhao clapped her hands and suggested with a smile:
"We can't sit here like this! We have to find something to do. Let's do this! I still have a lot of ginger here. Let's make ginger soup together, so that it will be easier to drink in the future!"

No one in the family said no, they really should find something to do.

Su Buyi took the pot from the carriage, placed it on the fire, and started to boil water.

After the water boiled, Ms. Zhao took out a large handful of ginger from the space and threw it into the pot to prepare hot ginger soup.

Although it's not raining now, the weather is not warm at all. Instead, it has become colder than when it rained!

The most intuitive change is that if there is no heating stove to maintain the temperature, the boiling water will turn into solid ice cubes in less than half a cup of tea!
To solve physiological problems, everyone has to put the stove next to them.

In such a cold environment, even if the Su family members all wore the thermal sachets given by Su Bujing, their bodies would not feel uncomfortable with the cold.

But the thick clothes they wore would inevitably form shallow water stains on the outer layer.

Therefore, Su Bujing and others would still drink hot ginger soup to dispel the cold when they are on the road to prevent cold air from entering the body.

While making hot ginger soup, Zhao and Su Yuanshan packed their bags together.

They sealed the commonly used pots, bowls, basins and several large sealed bamboo tubes filled with water, as well as some sweet potatoes, vegetable cakes, radishes and taro, several bags of corn, and several pieces of processed pork, rabbit meat and fish. , placed in a thick mattress stuffed with cotton.

Then the mattress was placed on the top of the carriage, tied to the top of the carriage with strips of cloth, and finally covered with a thin layer of oilcloth.

This way it doesn't take up space in the car and is easy to access.

The luggage was packed, and the ginger soup on the fire started to smell.

Su Bujing and others took several large bowls, filled the ginger soup, and then Zhao took them into the space.

In this way, the next time they need to drink ginger soup, it will be hot when they take it out of the space.

After doing this, Su Bujing and others got on the carriage to rest.

Su Yuanshan, Su Buyi and Zhao each kept vigil for an hour, taking turns to rest and monitoring accidents and dangers that might occur in the darkness.

The source of fire in the dark night must not be extinguished.

So before going to bed, Su Yuanshan and Su Buyi went to pick up some branches and brought them back to ensure that the fire source would not be cut off during the rest.Su Bujing and others were lying next to each other, and the gentle breathing could be heard in the carriage, which seemed extremely quiet.

Su Bujing pursed his lips and earnestly absorbed the spiritual energy from the broken spirit stones in his purse.

Little things add up, and I believe that Su Bujing will be able to make another breakthrough soon!
In the darkness, only the crackling and burning sound of branches in the fire was left, and it was very quiet.

However, after less than three hours of rest, the Su family all woke up.

In such a strange and tense night, everyone's sleep is very light, and they will wake up at the slightest disturbance.

Su Buwei and Su Buyou opened their bloodshot eyes and leaned softly against the car wall. They felt very sleepy, but they couldn't fall asleep no matter what.

"It's okay. When I'm on my way later, I might fall asleep while the carriage is rocking." Su Buyi comforted.

Mrs. Zhao got off the carriage and went to collect the remaining branches next to the fire into the space and store them.

Su Yuanshan reheated the stove in the carriage, warmed a red clay teapot on it, and lit a honey candle.

The Su family chatted in the dim candlelight, ate a few meat buns and drank some hot water, which finally solved the problem of eating.

Su Yuanshan sat on the edge of the car and drove by the light of the torch in Zhao's hand.

Time on the road was always extremely boring. After Su Buyu finished eating and drinking every day, he would lie in the carriage and practice while using spiritual energy to massage Su Buyu's meridians.

Or just watch Su Buwei draw the iron sword while listening to Su Buyi read.

After staying in a place without spiritual energy for a long time, Su Bujing could only practice through broken spirit stones, but she could not enter the space directly. Naturally, the progress of her practice slowed down a lot.

The family just kept traveling day and night. After traveling for a long time, it felt like they had never moved and were always staying in the same place.

They didn't see any people, as if the Su family was the only one left in the world.

They often lose their sense of direction.

At this time, Su Bujing would play dice with his family.

Instead of talking about poems and songs, we just talk about everyone's luck. Usually Su Bujing is the one who makes the order throw the dice, roll the dice once, and guess the number.

If you guess wrong, you will be fined with alcohol. If you guess correctly, you will be exempted from drinking. At the same time, you can ask the person who guessed wrong to do something.

Of course, the wine he drank was not some high-quality Shaodaozi, but the sweet sweet-scented osmanthus wine that Zhao had collected before.

It's not intoxicating, but it still smells like alcohol. It's perfect for relieving anxiety.

In order to covet a few more glasses of his favorite sweet wine, Su Yuanshan often asked Su Buwei, who was always losing, to give him the wine after winning.

Su Buwei was so angry that he almost threw the cup and shouted, "Dad is bullying!".

After playing, the mood of the Su family improved slightly, their sleep became normal, and they rarely experienced anxiety or insomnia again.

Every time when eating, Mrs. Zhao would take Su Bujing and others to cook more meals.

The ones that serve six people will be made into 12 people, and those with more will be packed into the space for emergencies.

Su Buyi also prepared an empty booklet, wrote down what he ate and did every day, and read it to the whole family before going to bed.

After Su Bujing and others listened, he would also tell some of his feelings that day, allowing Su Buyi to add to them.

The family just tried their best to enrich their traveling life.

They no longer remember how many days they have been rushing. Time has lost its meaning here.

If it hadn't been for the grass in the thermal sachet that had not been replaced along the way, Su Bujing would have thought that things have changed forever.

There is no sun or moon here, no human habitation, and wherever you look, there is only terrifying darkness.

The Su family can only use their family to judge that they are still alive and not a walking corpse.
