With the carriage, the speed of travel was much faster.
Unless there was a heavy downpour and they couldn't travel any further, they would always be on the road. The bear paws and gall bladder they brought down from the mountain were sold, while the other bear meat and gray wolf were shared among the group.
The money from selling bear paws and bear gall was distributed to those who went up the mountain to hunt. Of course, those who worked harder got more.
Gu Beiheng got two taels of silver, and seeing that he made a lot of money, he couldn't handle the large number of people.
And those officials will definitely take the lion's share, even if there are no monkeys left behind from hunting in the mountains.
Rested for some days.
Mu Chentao and Yao Wu, who had been half dead, gradually recovered. They were still not feeling well, but were able to walk for a while.
In the carriage, you can half-lean against the wall, and you no longer have to lie there in a dying state and burp if you just take a breath.
Everyone understood that they were able to survive thanks to Su Qi's superb acupuncture skills.
With a carriage.
You can also catch up to the post station to rest along the way.
Since Mu Chentao could half-lean against the car wall, he took the initiative to ask to move to the outside frame to rest. Su Qi prepared a thick pillow and a thin quilt for him.
Gu Beiheng also had Mu Guang and a few others build a tarpaulin awning on the carriage frame that could be retracted at any time. When it rained, even the horse drivers wouldn't get wet.
When it is not raining, you can just stand it up and it won't take up any space.
Gu Beiheng and Su Qi slowly made the carriage comfortable. Today, they added a soft, exotic brocade blanket, and tomorrow, they'd buy a small red clay stove for boiling water.
Not to mention other delicate gadgets.
The entire carriage is warm and practical.
gradually……
This carriage was a mobile home for them. Gu Beiheng was especially kind to Hongmao, who was like the wild horse that was disobedient at first but ended up getting into a fight.
Give it clean water and buy the best grass to feed the red-haired cat.
Su Qi also took out some feed from the space to feed it.
The journey lasted about ten days.
The mountain road began to become rugged.
The terrain became higher and higher, and there was no more water on the road.
However, Su Qi knew that many places at the foot of the mountain had suffered from floods, and heard that many people had begun to leave their homes with their families to seek a way out.
Everyone in the group was confused about the future.
Only Su Qi and Gu Beiheng were full of hope for the future. They both hoped to arrive in Jinyang Mansion as soon as possible to start their new life.
"Yaotou, there's an open space up ahead. Let's take a break and have lunch." Peng Laosan followed slowly on his horse and spoke when he saw the winding mountain road.
Yao Liu raised his eyelids and looked around. In the silent mountain stream, the only sound was the crows' mournful cries of "Ah, ah, ah..."
My heart inexplicably tightened.
"Do you see the open space in front? Let's rest here for half an hour." Yao Liu is not a person who doesn't care about his appetite.
A real foodie.
Originally, because Old Huangtou was suppressing him, he dared not eat and drink too much. Now, the grass on Old Huangtou's grave has sprouted and grown half a foot high.
Even the emperor can’t do anything about it.
He only had to deal with it briefly in the morning.
Eat and drink well at noon and in the evening.
"Su Qi, Su Qi. The braised noodles you made are so delicious. I brought some flour here, how about we make some braised noodles?" Yao Liu rode his horse to Su Qi's carriage and shouted into the carriage across the compartment.
Su Qi was half-lying in the carriage, reading a travelogue of the Dashun Dynasty. Dabao and Erbao were playing with space blocks, while Gu Beiheng was reading a military book.
Caught off guard.
My peace and quiet was disturbed by Yao Liu, the foodie.
"Okay, let's cook some braised noodles." Su Qi lazily put down the notebook and lay lazily on the blanket.
Gu Beiheng looked through the mist from the small stove and saw the little woman lying lazily like a cat. Her fair face was stained with a light peach color, and her small cherry lips were moist and playful.
Plop, plop.
Gu Beiheng heard his heart beating like a drum on the battlefield again.
I took a deep breath and pressed my heart hard with my hands, afraid that my heart would fall out if I wasn't careful.
I'm a little thirsty, what's wrong?
After drinking a large cup of tea, Gu Beiheng found that tea alone did not quench his thirst. He longed to taste those tender red lips...
what to do?
In order to avoid losing his composure, Gu Beiheng rushed out as soon as the carriage stopped.
Su Qi looked at the figure running away in confusion.
He frowned and thought, is this because he drank too much water and is looking for a place to drain it?
Su Qi straightened up and said, "Dabao and Erbao, hurry up and let Wuming take you out to pee."
"Oh." Dabao put down the building blocks in his hand, opened the curtain and walked out with his hands outstretched. "Brother Wuming, hold me and let me pee."
"And Erbao." Erbao crawled over using his hands and feet, smiling. "Brother Wuhen, hold me."
Zeng Wuming and Zeng Wuhen each picked up one person and got off the carriage.
Finally Su Qi came out, and Yao Liu was waiting outside.
"Su Qi, I've asked someone to set up the pot. Firewood and everything else are ready. You just need to be the chef in charge." Yao Liu touched his head and laughed.
Su Qi looked in the direction of the voice.
Good job.
It's more than just setting up a pot to boil water.
The monkeys are kneading the dough and starting to roll out noodles.
A skinny official, carrying a cloth bag, walked to the open space and shouted at the top of his voice, "Come quickly to get your steamed bread. Half a steamed bread per person for lunch. If you want to live a good life, you have to find a way out yourself. Don't expect anything to just fall from the sky."
With a whoosh.
Everyone rushed to line up to get the steamed bread. Gu Beiyao waved his hand towards Gu Beijing and Gu Beiting, "I'll get the steamed bread for you two."
Seeing that the officer had acquiesced, Gu Beijing and Gu Beiting continued to help with their work.
The two girls were becoming increasingly recalcitrant to Zhang Yunyu's discipline, and Zhang Yunyu had tried to punish them several times, but they were able to evade him by hiding behind the bearded man and several other officials.
Su Qi took a deep breath and said, "Bei Jing, you guys watch the pot. I'm going to take a walk by the woods."
Seeing that it was still early, I walked along the woods.
There was wild garlic growing in a puddle not far away, so Su Qi walked over and squatted down to pick some. She also picked up a few sweet potato seedlings and planted them there. She hoped that these sparsely planted sweet potato seedlings could help more people in the future.
"Gu Beihan, this is your son too. Do you care about him?"
Su Qi vaguely heard Hong Liuer's voice and was startled.
What kind of melon is this?
Isn’t Hong Liu’er Gu Beizheng’s concubine? Gu Beihan had a concubine named Hong Ting’er, who also gave birth to a son for him.
"How can I care? He's asking Gu Bei to fight for his father. Don't come to me all the time." Gu Beihan's impatient voice came, "Besides, An Ge'er is older now. Don't be so naive and unsatisfied all the time.
He's just a bastard's son, so why should he be raised like a legitimate son?" Gu Beihan pushed Hong Liu'er away.
Hong Liuer's eyes turned red with anger.
In a gloomy tone:
"How can my An Ge'er compare with your Feng Ge'er? I don't ask for much, just enough to eat and some medicine.
If it weren't for the Second Young Master's wife, An Ge'er would have died last time. He is my lifeblood, you can't be so cruel." Hong Liu'er stepped forward and grabbed Gu Beihan's clothes, refusing to let go.
She cried softly to Gu Beihan.
"Gu Beizheng knows about our relationship. Now he wants to strangle me and An Ge'er to death. If you don't care about us, what will happen to my An Ge'er?"
"That's your business. What does it have to do with me?"
Gu Beihan pushed Hong Liuer to the ground and spat in an unlucky tone.
"I just had too much wine and took you. Be smart and pretend nothing happened. You are such a fool that he found out.
"Don't fucking drag this shit into me. I despise your fucking filthiness." Gu Beihan warned Hong Liu'er, "If you dare to cause trouble again, I'll kill you and An Ge'er."
Hong Liu'er fell to the ground, covering her mouth and sobbing, "It was you who broke into my room and raped me. You beast, you deserve a bad death."
Su Qi's legs were numb from squatting.
But the melon is too big, and the onlookers dare not show up easily.
Otherwise it would be so embarrassing.
He squatted there until Gu Beihan and Hong Liuer left one after another before standing up.
