Yan Huaiwen helped the burden wall blocking the front of the car.
was bound firmly by God's blessing.
He recruited Yan Xiangheng and asked him: "How are you learning to drive?"
Yan Xiangheng replied honestly: "It's okay, driving an ox cart is not difficult."
"Since that's the case, help your second uncle share more, and don't make him work too hard."
Yan Xiangheng was a little embarrassed: "Father, I don't know the way, so I have to ask my second uncle to help me."
Uncle helped him see the road, and it was actually no different from driving by himself.
The cattle in his family are very obedient. They will go when they are told to go, and stop when they are told. They will also avoid raised rocks on the road by themselves, and they can always bypass sunken pits.
Compared with the mules and donkeys in the village, it is so easy to use.
Yan Huaiwen did not expect his son to have the same problem as him.
"Why don't you know the way?"
Yan Xiangheng then explained: "Walking in the mountains is no better than the official road. When you encounter forests and rocks, you have to detour. My second uncle can tell the direction without much error. If it were me, I'm afraid it will take a while to see the way ahead. "
Yan Huaiwen was silent for a while.
Chewed carefully for a while what his son said.
He was the only one with this problem!
"Father, Second Uncle is still busy, I'll help."
Yan Laoer saw his eldest nephew coming, and he was not polite, and asked him to pack the crispy pork ribs that had cooled down.
Pour wild fruit syrup into the last few bamboo tubes at home.
The two of them took the clothes that the three of them had changed, and scrubbed them with a bang.
The clothes are dried on the hemp rope tied between two trees after washing.
The two uncles and nephews just rested.
Yan Xiangheng fell asleep after a while.
Yan Er Er half-closed his eyes and sat up again.
Looking back, his daughter was sleeping on her back, with her small mouth slightly open.
He tiptoed over to adjust her posture, so as not to startle her mouth for a while.
Taking advantage of the night, he took out a bundle of straw from the woods and secretly fed it to several mules and donkeys in the village.
…
Early in the morning, the sun just came out of the top of the head.
The industrious folks began to get busy.
cluck... cluck...
Yan Yu turned over, facing the direction of the hens.
Through the sparse fence, slowly open your eyes.
The color is different from the yellow and green grass, and it is revealed at once.
Oh, it turned out to be an egg!
What? !
She suddenly opened her eyes wide, propped herself up, and looked intently.
"OMG! The chicken has laid an egg!"
Da Ya got up very early, heard the movement, saw the eggs in the grass, smiled and rolled her eyes.
The voice was full of joy: "It's laying eggs again, huh? There are two!"
She turned around, looked at her younger sister, and said with a smile: "This time, my older sister is faster than you, so she picked it first!"
Two chickens fell into her palm.
Yan Yu: …
I picked eggs a few days ago by lying, and you are the real one!
Our hen really laid eggs!
This joy cannot be shared, and Yan Yu feels uncomfortable.
Locked on her father's position, jumped out of the car, and ran over.
"Father! Our chickens have laid eggs! Elder sister just picked two, it's true, the chickens laid eggs by themselves!"
Yan Laoer was also very surprised: "Oh my God, they can still lay eggs after such a toss. The laying hen among the hens didn't run away! Only two lay? You have to make sure which one lay, and you can't kill them by mistake in the future." .”
Yan Yu deeply agrees.
The four hens in the family are very powerful, and only sister Da Ya can control them.
When Yan Yu ran back, Da Ya was catching chickens one by one.
"There are only two today, and I guess there will be two more tomorrow." She said with a smile.
Stuffed the hot egg to Yan Yu again, "Go get it to Second Uncle."
"Big sister, can we still have it tomorrow?" Yan Yu asked in a daze.
"Yes! Today the egg was laid by these two chickens. I touched it, and the other two will have it tomorrow."
When Yan Yu told Yan Lao Er, the latter looked sad: "Okay, let them play for a while longer."
Two eggs were ruthlessly boiled by Yan Laoer.
All were given to Li Xuemei.
Li Xuemei was a little embarrassed.
Wanted to give it to Heng Er and Da Ya, but was rejected by the eldest nephew and eldest niece.
Auntie needs it more, besides, their food these days is really not bad.
Li Xuemei wants to give it to her daughter again.
Yan Yu: "Mom, our chickens are thriving and often lay eggs. I'm not greedy at all."
These are farm eggs, which are nutritious. In the future, these eggs will be exclusively for her mother, and they can eat the ones sold on the shopping platform if they want.
Breakfast, Yan Laoer cooked a big pot of sticky porridge. He remixed the sauce from the house before and pickled all kinds of wild vegetables.
Wild vegetables are bitter, and it’s okay to eat occasionally, but it’s a bit uncomfortable to eat. It’s much better to pickle them, the bitterness and saltiness are neutralized, and it’s refreshing to eat.
The family ate dinner and moved all their belongings to the car facing the rising sun.
Yan's second child is doing the final inspection.
After looking at each wheel carefully, he saw that the newly tied hemp rope was strong, and then sat in the driver's seat in front of the bullock cart.
"Sambo, let's go!"
He shook the rein on the right, Sanbao turned his head to the right and walked forward.
Yan Xiangheng thought to himself: What is so difficult about driving? Pull the left rein to the left, pull the right rein to the right, pull up both sides at the same time when you stop, and when you want to go, shout: Three treasures, go!
No way...
…
It is still three hours before noon and three hours in the afternoon.
Four days later, they finally walked out of the mountains.
What appeared in front of everyone was an endless barren beach.
In just four days, the victims who followed were deeply aware of the gap between them and the convoy in front.
Those people did not run fast, but steady, stable at the same speed from beginning to end.
A speed that is friendly to cows, mules, and donkeys.
They followed behind with great difficulty.
Every time it's time to rest, each one is soft and noodle-like, and I wish I could grow on the ground and not get up.
The group of people were chopping trees, sawing wood, pushing carts... working in full swing.
The day before, you can see the scene ahead from a distance.
The group of people stopped what they were doing, and all went to the mountains.
They saw it in their eyes and were anxious in their hearts.
I can only hold on and go into the mountains, looking for water and everything that can be entered.
Little gain.
The mountains in this area are far less lush than the mountains and forests in the hinterland.
Dried trees and vines can be seen everywhere.
When they saw each other, they woke up.
Yes, this is the normal state of drought.
The few days in the deep mountains, when I think about it now, it seems like a dream.
"We... why not go back to the mountains." Some victims whispered.
Seeing that what should have been a swamp in front of them turned into a barren land with deep scars and cracks, they felt apprehensive.
"Go back to the mountain? Waiting to be captured by bandits again? There are several nests of bandits in the mountain. We can come out so smoothly because there are so many people. Bandits dare not show up. Go back and try to see if you can escape Living in the mountains, I didn’t see those mountain people running out!”
"But ahead... I don't know how far we have to go, if it's always like this..."
"Whatever you are afraid of, you can always go out."
"Yes, let's take a good breath, gather strength, follow that kind-hearted scholar, and we will be able to go out."
