"Black Cloud?" Wei Yunlan called out.
Heiyun turned around, swung his tail, then jumped onto the carriage and rubbed Wei Yunlan's palm with his head.
"Let's go." Wei Yunlan asked Tang Hai, "How far can the carriage go?"
Tang Hai pondered for a moment and replied, "As long as we don't go up the mountain and head north along the plain, it won't be a problem to go another 10 to 20 miles. We haven't been to any deeper places."
Since the legend about the mountain god of Yandu Gorge could reach the capital, it naturally spread more wildly in the local area.
Villagers near the gorge have grown up listening to stories about the mountain god. If a child keeps crying, they just need to bring out the mountain god to scare him and he will stop crying immediately.
"We chose to locate Xiayun Village in the canyon because no one dared to approach it normally..."
Tang Hai answered with a wry smile.
When I talk about the past events at "Xiayunzhai", I feel a little embarrassed.
If he hadn't worked for his boss and met all kinds of people and the world he had never seen before in just two months, he wouldn't have known how ridiculous the cottage they had built as a joke was.
And the decision to seize the county government’s granary was so hasty.
If they had not been recruited by their boss, they might be able to "rule the king" in Xiakou County and have abundant food in a short period of time. However, if this continued for a long time, they would surely be purged by the imperial court. Not to mention the distant ones, even Lord Xue, the new commander of Huangzhou, would never let them go.
Not only will you lose your head, but your parents and relatives will also suffer as a result!
"The people in Prison Tiger Village are really too stupid. They can do anything else but become bandits. They even have evil intentions towards the disaster relief grain."
Tang Hai sighed and shook his head. He couldn't help but spit when he said this. "It's a pity that they are fleeing from the disaster. Don't they know how important relief food is to the victims?"
People are always different.
Some people, after experiencing hardships, will sympathize with those who have the same experience as themselves and lend a helping hand. However, some people will turn into minions of the devil, in turn intensifying the harm done to those who suffer, doubling the suffering they have experienced on others in order to gain satisfaction.
"Don't think too much, big guy." Zou Yun weighed the thing in his hand and threw it to Tang Hai, "Here, this is for you."
Tang Hai subconsciously raised his hand to catch it, and it turned out to be a bright yellow persimmon.
Fortunately, he restrained the strength of his fingers, otherwise the juice would have been squeezed out directly.
After removing the stem, suck hard, and the sweet juice and slippery flesh will be sucked into your mouth. This persimmon is really ripe and delicious.
Tang Hai's eyes lit up after eating so much that he turned around and asked, "Do you want another one?"
Suihe, who was driving the carriage, pointed to the basket beside him and said, "There are plenty."
These were the persimmons they had "bought" earlier in Xiaohan Village. There was a full basket of them, and they had to eat them as soon as possible before unloading the carriage, otherwise it would increase the burden of going up the mountain.
They were the only team in the canyon.
The sound of horse hooves, voices, wind, water, and birds singing.
Under the sunlight, the journey seemed more pleasant.
However, this is only a momentary illusion.
Not long after they relaxed, they were blocked by a pile of rubble. Some of the rubble was as tall as a person, making it quite difficult to move.
It might take a day or two to clear a passable path.
"Is there any other way to go?" Wei Yunlan asked.
"No, this is the only way." Tang Hai shook his head.
The only solution now is to start cleaning the road.
"Miss Wei, just sit down. There's no need to trouble you to do this kind of thing yourself." Seeing that Wei Yunlan also brought Miss Bai Si and everyone else to move the stones, Zou Yun began to persuade them.
Wei Yunlan ignored Zou Yun's dissuasion and did not stop what he was doing. "Let's go together. One more person will always make it faster."
The most important thing is that when she moves the stones, she can take the opportunity to quietly put some large stones that are pressed underneath and difficult to move into the space.
This will speed up the road clearing process.
The road surface that was originally said to take one or two days to clear was cleared in just half a day.
It was already late at night, and Wei Yunlan suggested, "Why don't we stay here tonight and set off again when it gets dark?"
"Just listen to Miss Wei." After working hard for most of the day, Zou Yun was a little tired.
They heated up the sesame seed cakes they had packed at the inn that morning and cooked a pot of soup. After eating, everyone fell asleep one after another, leaving only the people who took turns to keep watch every two hours awake.
There was snoring all around.
Wei Yunlan was also feeling a little sleepy.
Just as she felt her eyelids getting heavy and was about to fall asleep, she suddenly noticed that Heiyun beside her stood up and walked towards the makeshift camp with four tents with his nose twitching.
Wei Yunlan was so frightened when he saw this that he suddenly woke up from his doze and quickly put on his winter clothes and chased after him.
"Miss Wei?" It was Chen Yan's turn to keep watch at midnight tonight. When he saw Wei Yunlan walking out, he called out softly.
Wei Yunlan pointed and ran more than ten steps away, and was turning back to look at his black cloud, "I'll just follow the black cloud and take a walk."
Chen Yan reminded: "Then you should be careful and don't go too far."
Wei Yunlan nodded slightly to show that he knew.
Following quickly, Heiyun continued to turn back and walk in the opposite direction of their progress today.
"How do you get this way?"
Wei Yunlan quickly caught up with the black cloud, but found that it was moving faster and faster. After walking about two miles, it found a road leading up the mountain.
"Woof." Heiyun called out.
"You want to go up the mountain?" Wei Yunlan understood the meaning in Heiyun's eyes. He glanced at the mountain road that was covered with weeds and almost obscured by the grass. He was stunned for a moment before he realized...
This seems to be the route Tang Hai pointed out to me in the afternoon?
The original location of Xiayun Village is along this mountain road.
After Heiyun shouted, he started running up the mountain.
Wei Yunlan didn't shout to stop from behind, but gritted his teeth and followed.
The road was overgrown with weeds that were almost as high as a person's calf, but fortunately the road was not difficult to walk on. After a while, Wei Yunlan saw several thatched houses that were about to fall apart and two extremely dilapidated mud-brick houses in front of him.
According to Tang Hai, this was the house that was here before they established Xiayun Village. It might have belonged to a hunter or someone else.
"What are you doing here?" Wei Yunlan looked at Heiyun with some confusion.
There is nothing here except these dilapidated houses.
However, just as Wei Yunlan was about to call Heiyun to go down the mountain, he suddenly noticed out of the corner of his eye that the room with the door open seemed to be full of things.
The steps of leaving paused.
Wei Yunlan walked quickly forward and pushed open the door.
Seeing the scene in front of him, his eyes widened.
food!
This room is actually full of food!
