Don’t be fooled by the fact that the refugees were all skinny. After being burned by the fire, they turned into ashes.
But many people have quite a bit of savings, easily thirty or fifty taels of silver.
Of course, there are also poor people who only have a dozen copper coins.
Gao Hongbin never refused gold or silver, but he had no interest in copper coins, so he let the exiles take them.
However, after being roasted in a high fire, whether it is gold, silver, or copper, there are signs of melting and deformation.
Ordinary people are not qualified to mint coins, so picking up copper coins is of no use.
As for gold and silver, no matter whether it is ingots, gold and silver peanuts, or dimes, they can all be spent.
The convoy moved forward bit by bit, and there were more and more corpses of various kinds on the road.
Looking at their postures, they were all crawling on the ground and struggling forward.
It is conceivable that the moment the fire spread, all they could think of and do was to run hard.
But how can a person run too fast? Moreover, there is also high temperature radiation.
They must have been in great pain at that moment!
Everyone in the team sighed, but they just watched, because they were just one step away from being one of them.
At this moment, everyone looked at Gao Hongbin with admiration. They felt that Mr. Gao had provided good leadership and had saved them from disaster.
Time passed little by little, and soon it was evening.
Without the shelter of the mountains and forests, the wilderness looked extremely empty and even quite creepy in the dark night.
Gao Hongbin picked up some charcoal from the surrounding area and burned it. The flame was not big and could only illuminate a small area of land around it.
Fortunately, this land was barren, and the large beasts were driven to other places by the wildfires, and the ants, insects and other creatures were also swallowed by the flames.
The ground was covered with ashes, and Chi Xingyue couldn't even find a place to sit. Helplessly, he could only rely on a cart.
Seeing this, Ling Jiheng directly removed the rope and moved the wooden box down.
One person can sit in one cart, and there is also space for sleeping.
When others saw this, they expressed envy but were unwilling to follow suit.
Everyone is lazy. If they can rest, who would want to move?
What's more, if something happens, they won't have time to load the truck.
Having thus convinced himself, he sat down upon a pile of wood ash with a clear conscience.
Looking towards Yingtian Prefecture, I found that the sky in the distance was a little red.
It must be the wildfire that dyed the sky red.
That day, they walked for about seven hours, covering about eighty-four miles.
The speed is much slower than when the carriages were first pulled by horses, but it is still a big improvement no matter what.
Chi Xingyue sat on the cart, his consciousness sinking into the space, and found that not only the remaining date trees were unlocked, but also a strawberry greenhouse was refreshed.
Autumn is the season for strawberries to bloom and bear fruit. The first batch of large fruits have already grown in the strawberry greenhouse. There are Black Pearl, Taoxun, Hongyan, and Zhangji.
Chi Xingyue likes Hongyan the most, and Hongyan strawberries are also the best-selling ones in Nanshan Village.
However, the most expensive one is peach smoked tea. Peach smoked tea has a light flavor, but because of its beautiful color and peach flavor, many people buy it to try it or give it as a gift.
Chi Xingyue picked the ripe strawberries, brought some to the small building, and placed the rest on the furniture to dry like grapes.
I don't know if this thing exists in the Great Yong Dynasty. Even if it does, I can't eat it fresh on the way to exile.
After she had tidied the space, she realized Ling Jiheng had poked her hand with some dried meat.
Don't be too obvious about your meaning. If you ask her to pretend, she should pretend to follow the crowd.
Chi Xingyue nodded and stuffed the dry meat into his mouth.
This thing has no taste and is hard on the teeth. If I had no choice, I really wouldn't want to eat it.
After eating the dried meat, there is also a steamed bun.
It’s not big, about the size of an egg. I was afraid it would go bad and dry up because of the fire.
Chi Xingyue felt that if she was not a dozen years younger, she would not dare to touch this kind of food.
It’s too hard, I’m afraid of knocking my teeth.
After grinding a quail egg-sized steamed bun residue with his saliva, Chi Xingyue couldn't bear it any longer and threw it into the space.
She glanced at Ling Jiheng resentfully, and seeing that he looked calm, she reached out, snatched his steamed bun, and threw it in as well.
The light here was dim, so no one noticed what the two people did.
I can only sigh that this road of exile is really not something that ordinary people can endure.
But no matter what, they are much better than those refugees.
At least because of horse meat and wolf meat, I never went hungry.
In the middle of the night, Ling Jiheng opened his eyes and found a flare in the air, which was sent by Ling Yi.
He pulled Chi Xingyue's clothes to wake her up, then held her hand and walked away.
Because there was no obstruction around, the two men walked two or three miles before they saw a black horse and a tall man who looked embarrassed beside it.
"Master, it's great that you are not dead!" Ling Yi was so excited that he knelt on one knee, tears almost flowing down.
He didn't forget to bow: "Ling Yi greets Madam!"
Ling Jiheng hurried forward to help the man up: "It's been a few days since we last met. Are you and Hongyu doing well?"
Ling Yi choked up and said, "Fortunately, when the locust plague occurred, Hongyu and I happened to pick up Ling Er and Ling San, and the four of us hid in a farmer's yard and were not affected.
After the locust plague was over, I wanted to find my master, but I found that the forest was full of fires..."
Ling Jiheng nodded: "We are lucky to have found a cave."
"Yes, the master is a man of great fortune!"
Ling Yi finished speaking and handed the package to the other party: "I was so happy when I saw the signal from the master last night. I hurried to the nearby area to buy some goods, but found that due to the locust plague, I couldn't buy anything.
I had no choice but to make a few steamed buns with Hongyu. I hope the master won’t mind.”
Ling Jiheng glanced around, seeing nothing but bare ground, and sighed, "You guys should take care of yourselves too. Don't get too close. I'll signal if anything happens."
Ling Yi said "yes" and left reluctantly.
After he had walked so far away that his figure was almost out of sight, Chi Xingyue slipped into the space, solved her physiological problem, and prepared meals at the same time.
They eat more meat during this period and are in urgent need of vitamin supplements.
Chi Xingyue went to the restaurant kitchen, ordered a tomato and egg, a dish of three fresh vegetables, and came out with two servings of rice.
After enjoying a hearty meal with Ling Jiheng, he was given a small bowl of strawberries.
Ling Jiheng's eyes flashed, and he calmly swallowed the strawberries one by one, giving a thumbs-up: "So sweet!"
Chi Xingyue nodded: "Of course, these things are precious. If you are not careful, they will get bugs or break the skin. They need to be carefully cared for every day."
After saying that, I ate two myself. Hmm, my mouth was full of strawberry fragrance.
Chi Xingyue moved close to Ling Jiheng's mouth and sniffed it, and found that he also had a particularly strong sweet fragrance.
I didn’t think much about it, I just felt that the fresh strawberry smell was too strong and I couldn’t eat it anymore.
But the close distance almost broke Young Master Ling's defense.
Although the fire-making girl was young, thin and ugly.
But the little fairy always surprises him, making him subconsciously ignore her age and appearance.
His heart was pounding and Ling Jiheng felt panicked again.
It seems like he turned some of his fake behavior into reality.
