In ancient times, roads were difficult to travel on, not as flat and convenient as they are today.
And because the population is relatively sparse, there are fewer inhabited areas between each other.
Moreover, the military force of Qi was not very strong. Every year, the people were forcibly conscripted to go to war, and very few returned, so the population was even smaller.
It was difficult for common people to come across official post stations set up by the State of Qi when they traveled long distances.
Under this premise, if you don’t want to suffer on the road, you have to prepare enough supplies.
Chu Qi's carriage was an extra-large version, but as more things were added to the carriage.
The workload for two horses increases.
Out of consideration for the love she had for horses, Chu Qi bought a new luxury carriage at the horse market, which was pulled by four horses.
Chu Qi discussed with the boss and only bought two horses.
These two horses together with his own two horses mean that there are four colleagues working together.
The horses' workload was lightened.
The waiter spent most of the day buying everything Chu Qi asked for.
Coal, food, water bags, new quilts, flints, etc. are all included.
After putting the things into the car, Chu Qi changed the water in the fish tank again.
After being away from the water for a long time, the grass carp looked a little listless.
I ate two yesterday, so there were thirteen left out of fifteen grass carps.
When the carriage was bought, Chu Qi had it specially modified.
The fish tank is placed at the back of the car and is ventilated. There is something blocking it inside to prevent the car from having a fishy smell.
Looking at the listless grass carp, Chu Qi placed his palm on the porcelain wall of the fish tank, channeling his internal strength into his palm, and a stream of heat continuously condensed.
After a while, a hint of heat began to rise from the cold water in the fish tank.
The grass carp, which had its head drooping, suddenly seemed to be injected with energy and began to swim lively.
"Sure enough, it's because it's too cold that I don't move."
Chu Qi withdrew her hand with satisfaction.
Lin Yue came over with a cup of hot tea in her hand, and said, "Sir, would you like some tea?"
After working for a long time, Chu Qi was indeed a little thirsty, so she took the tea and took a sip.
Day 3.
Early in the morning, the two decided to leave Twenty City.
Ershicheng was not very big. Chu Qi drove the carriage for about an hour and almost arrived at the city gate.
After two days of training, Lin Yue no longer felt as painful riding in a carriage as it did at the beginning.
She tried to get into the carriage and sit down, and found that she was not as dizzy as before.
So he just rested in the carriage.
Today is the third day of my period. I always have a sinking feeling in my stomach and some pain in my lower limbs. It makes me feel sick during the menstrual period.
After leaving the city gate smoothly, Chu Qi found that there were a few little followers following him.
She continued to drive the carriage calmly, using all her five senses to feel the locations of the little tails.
They followed closely, and when they came to a fork in the road, they jumped out with machetes in hand:
"Robbery!!"
Swish--
Chu Qi threw a few poison darts with an expressionless face, easily killing several people, and then continued on his way.
As night fell, Chu Qi's carriage stopped at the foot of a mountain.
Not far from the foot of the mountain, there is a small village.
Chu Qi didn't plan to go in and stay overnight. Sometimes people are much more dangerous than beasts.
It is better not to cause trouble if you can.
After a day's journey, the two of them covered at least a hundred miles.
The people were fine, as they had been riding in the car the whole way, but the horses were tired.
Because four horses are pulling the cart at the same time, it is much easier than pulling it with two horses.
Chu Qi took out four carrots from her bag and fed them to the four horses one by one.
The two old horses naturally bent their necks and rubbed Chu Qi's head with their heads to act coquettishly.
The new one was rather shy; it just bit the carrot and started eating it without showing any expression.
Chu Qi did not show favoritism and rewarded them all with a loving touch before returning to the carriage to take out the pots and pans to prepare dinner.
The fish should be eaten quickly, otherwise it may die.
There is a river nearby, so we save water for washing vegetables.
There were three more castrated chickens that had been killed and cleaned in the place where bacon was hung on the wall of the carriage.
There are also a lot of fresh vegetables.
Chu Qi scraped off the fish scales and discarded the internal organs neatly, planning to make a boiled fish dish and put in some original tomatoes, which was sweet and delicious.
Half of the capon is used to make soup, and the other half is marinated with sauce and made into roast chicken.
After the tomato boiled fish, chicken soup and roast chicken were ready, Chu Qi stir-fried a small plate of vegetables, and the hearty evening meal was ready.
I don’t know if there is no coriander in this world or people haven’t noticed it. Chu Qi wanted to buy some coriander this morning, but found that there was none for sale.
Lin Yue sat obediently aside waiting for food.
The young master was cooking, and she wanted to wash the dishes as usual, but was rejected.
The master said that her body couldn't be exposed to cold during her period, so he wouldn't let her do it.
Although she doesn't think she is that fragile, the young master's concern is really touching.
After the meal, there was some boiled fish and chicken soup left, so Chu Qi put them in a covered basin and planned to eat them tomorrow.
The cold temperature in winter acts like a natural refrigerator, so you don’t have to worry about food going out of date if you leave it overnight.
Lin Yue took a bath and wore a white undergarment with a loose, thick, warm robe made of sable fur on the outside.
She lifted a corner of the carriage, stuck her head out, and asked Chu Qi with a red face:
"Sir, are you tired? I'll give you a shoulder massage to relax you."
Chu Qi was not tired, but she looked at Lin Yue's pretty face which was full of expectation and was looking at her expectantly.
She paused, then walked forward and sat on the front room, her voice slightly hoarse: "Okay."
Lin Yue mustered up the courage to ask this question.
Staring at the young man's back with his black hair, Lin Yue swallowed her saliva unwillingly. Smelling the soapberry scent coming from the young man, her fingers trembled slightly as she gently placed them on his shoulders.
He massaged it gently, neither too light nor too heavy.
Lin Yue has learned the massage techniques systematically, and she has mastered the strength and angles just right.
Feeling the soft fingers massaging his shoulders, Chu Qi's nerves tensed for a moment, and a hint of darkness flashed across his handsome face.
There are differences between men and women.
Although Chu Qi said on the surface that she treated Lin Yue as her sister.
However, the two of them did not have any connection since they grew up together. How could Chu Qi treat her as a sister from the bottom of her heart?
When Lin Yue was with Chu Qi on a daily basis, she would always unconsciously reveal the naivety of a little girl, and would always stare at Chu Qi in a foolish manner, thinking that it was not obvious.
How perceptive Chu Qi is.
You can feel it naturally.
Before Lin Yue had her period, Chu Qi could still barely regard her as a little girl.
Now the faint smell of blood in her nose reminded her that Lin Yue had grown up...
Lin Yue knelt in the carriage, sliding her fingers across the young master's neck, sometimes kneading, sometimes pressing, using all her life's skills just to make the young master satisfied.
"Sir, are you comfortable?"
Lin Yue breathed a sigh of relief from exhaustion. She leaned forward slightly, pretending to be surprised, and gently leaned on the young man's back.
Soft skin touches each other, heat is transferred, and the girl's fragrance comes.
Chu Qi's mouth corners were straightened, and her palms were rubbing the Buddhist beads she had bought in Twenty Cities before.
She replied in a low voice: "Comfortable."
