Chapter 97 Day and Night
The next day, everyone got busy before daybreak.
Because I made preparations last night, there was no rush at all this morning and the children were arranged clearly.
This time, Shen Qingqian was arranged to be the leader of the children. She led the children in the team on the journey, and they were arranged in the middle of the team.
This trip is different from the past.
Following Shen Xiao's suggestion, Li Laosan picked out all the men in the team and arranged them around the team. Each of them held various weapons they could find, such as the hoe in Jiang Goudan's hand, and thick sticks in Wu and others' hands that could be used as crutches and beat people. Even the little kids held straw baskets and carried broken stones.
The two masters, Shengze and Lingyun, were arranged as mobile personnel, and they would go wherever they were needed.
But this would make life difficult for the men carrying the raft.
The raft they made this time was heavier than the last time because they added a fence around it.
Heavy luggage was also placed on the raft. If these men were still sons of officials who were once unable to carry anything on their shoulders or hands, they would probably have cried out in grief long ago.
Today's men are more able to endure hardships and have more endurance than before. Even if the weight feels too heavy to carry, they can grit their teeth and persevere, walking for a while before taking over.
The women have also become more considerate than before, giving their men water from time to time, and the scene looks pretty good.
In addition, Shen Qingqian also used the convenience of her knowledge of medicine to make masks for everyone to wear on their faces.
She did not forget the news Ling Yun had heard before, that there might be a plague in Chenzhou, and it would be safer for them to take more precautions.
Li Laosan ran around in the team, encouraging and cheering these people up.
"Chenzhou is not peaceful. We must hurry to the ferry and try to arrive in three days."
This is not something I say casually.
Throughout the dynasties, whenever there was a major disaster or war, it would trigger various bandit problems. If this group of people wanted to reach the ferry without missing a single one, they had to be very careful.
Li Laosan just hoped that his worries were unnecessary.
Because of this, Shen Qingqian and others had to travel day and night. When they rested the next night, she could no longer feel where her legs were, and even the magic spring water was of no use.
Wu and Liang did not rest immediately, but first boiled a large pot of water, woke up Shen Xiao and others who had fallen asleep, and asked them to soak their feet. Then they asked the other people in the family to soak their feet as well before they dared to go to bed.
I must never make the same mistake again as I suffered before.
Shen Qingqian slept until midnight, signed in in a daze, and was about to continue sleeping when she was awakened by a low shout.
"Someone get out here!"
It was Cheng Yun's voice.
Shen Qingqian sat up suddenly, rubbed his eyes and looked over, but he only saw a shadow flying out from the valley where they were camping.
Immediately afterwards, Sheng Ze also flew over and blocked the entrance to the valley, holding Li Laosan's sword in his hand.
Shen Qingqian's heart was pounding, and she quickly called out to all the members of the Shen family.
"What's going on? What's that noise outside?" Mrs. Wu asked nervously.
Shen Qingqian shook her head, "I don't know, Brother Cheng Yun just went out."
When the Shen family saw Sheng Ze guarding the entrance of the valley, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Cheng San was there, they would be safe for the time being.
From time to time, a miserable howl was heard from outside the valley. Li Laosan and others were also awakened by the noise. They all stood up, picked up the weapons at hand, and ran to the entrance of the valley.
"Brothers, retreat quickly! We've encountered a tough opponent!"
At this moment, a hoarse roar came from outside the valley.
