Chapter 171 On the Road



After Li Zhen and the others arrived at the cave in front of the village committee.

Then I found a lot of people standing here.

The old village chief saw Li Lanzhen and her family, adults and children, and then a large procession of carriages and horses came over.

Once again, I realized that perhaps it was the right thing to not force Li Lanzhen to stay.

He looked up and saw that there wasn't much luggage in the car, and pregnant women, elderly people, and children were all sitting inside.

With a smile, she asked, "Li Lanzhen."

"Lanzhen, where are all your timber, cattle, and wild boar? Why haven't they been loaded onto the trucks?"

Li Lanzhen looked around at everyone and realized that everyone wanted to know the answer.

He smiled and said to him, "Old village chief, we have too much stuff. Lao Er, Xue Bao, Song Shu and a few others have already made several trips to transport it out."

The village chief was startled. What? When did they leave? How come I didn't know anything about it?!

"Huh?! You've already shipped them all out? How come we didn't know?"

Li Lanzhen glanced at the old village chief and the people around him, all of whom had the same surprised expression as him, and chuckled.

“Old village chief, I think I don’t need to ask you or the village committee before I move my things out, so we’ve been making several trips to move them out since midnight yesterday.”

"No, now I'll just lead everyone on a light trip, we can just go."

At that moment, several women in the crowd exclaimed in surprise.

"Oh dear, I need to go back and check if our crops and vegetables are still there."

The other person ran and talked at the same time.

"I need to go check if our timber is still there. All that timber is good timber; it was cut down from the mountain by my husband and his sons."

But it's not easy, you can't let it be cut down, lost, or gone forever.

Although they tried to keep their voices down and were at the back of the crowd, Li Lanzhen still managed to catch their voices.

Ignore these gossipy women and petty people.

She spoke to Han Shunde and his family.

"Are you all ready? If you are, we're off!"

The families who were leaving shouted happily.

"Alright! Alright, we're all ready, let's go!"

Li Lanzhen turned around and greeted the old village chief and the others.

"Old village chief, we're leaving now. Live your lives well."

Then he turned around and strode ahead.

As they passed by that plot of land, which was more than an acre in size.

Li Lanzhen turned her head and glanced at the field. Just as she had expected, the crops and vegetables in the field would be ready for harvest soon.

After harvesting the crops in the space, you can replant them, and perhaps this plot of land will automatically cultivate grains and vegetables as well.

Well, this can be considered a link between them and the Valley of Forgetfulness.

Most of the people in Forget-Worry Valley felt a little reluctant and sad when they saw Li Lanzhen was really leaving.

They followed behind the departing crowd.

Upon reaching the entrance to the valley, Li Lanzhen did not turn back but walked straight out.

The old village chief watched as Li Lanzhen walked out of the mountain gate without looking back, and hurriedly chased after her to ask what was wrong.

"Lanzhen, where are you planning to go?"

Li Lanzhen then stopped and turned around to answer him.

"Let's continue deeper into the mountains; we'll eventually find a valley like the Valley of Forgetfulness."

"Then we'll settle down there for now and see what happens after winter."

The old village chief raised his arm and waved it.

"Oh, good! Going deep into the mountains is fine, but watch out for wild animals!"

If all else fails... if all else fails, just give it back.

After saying this, the old village chief seemed to have used up all his strength, and his raised hand fell limply to his side.

Li Lanzhen gave him a bright smile.

“Okay, old village chief, if we can’t survive outside, I’ll lead everyone back to Forget-Worry Valley.”

After saying this, Li Lanzhen and her group turned into the mountains and headed deeper into the mountains.

It rained heavily in the mountains, and the temperature was very low.

Fortunately, when they came out, Li Lanzhen told everyone to wear light jackets and take them off and put them in their baskets when it got hot at noon.

She looked at her eldest daughter-in-law, Zhang Yuniang, sitting in the big blue mule cart, covered with a thick quilt.

Actually, Li Lanzhen really wanted to put Zhang Yuniang into her space.

This is the safest way, but she is also afraid that once a person enters the space, they will fall into a coma, which will harm the baby in her womb.

That put an end to the idea, and he simply instructed Han Minghai to make the floor under the carriage thicker.

Before she left, I gave her a bowl of hot brown sugar water.

Li Lanzhen thought that as long as there were no unexpected accidents, there shouldn't be any problems.

After leaving the Valley of Forgetfulness, the children immediately became lively.

Chattering away, they skipped and hopped through the woods, laughing merrily...

Like a group of little elves in the mountains and forests.

Their cheerful demeanor eased the sense of loss everyone felt upon leaving Forget-Worry Valley.

Once she reached the top of the mountain, Li Lanzhen slowed down.

Xue Laohu led the way, driving a donkey cart.

Sanwang led the way beside the car, inside which sat Han Yisong and Han Yibo, who were still half asleep, only awakened by the laughter of the older children running on the ground.

Because they used horse-drawn carriages and donkey carts to go up the mountain.

So, Sanwang discussed the route with Xu Laohu.

As long as the direction remains the same, try to travel through the valleys as much as possible, as this will make the journey smoother.

However, Li Lanzhen knew that once she reached the bottom of that large platform, she would no longer be able to use the vehicle.

It seems we still need to use a trick to hide the vehicles and livestock inside the space.

Li Lanzhen told Sanwang and Xue Laohu not to rush and to walk slowly.

As they slowed down, the women discovered many wild fruits, fresh wild vegetables, mushrooms, and wood ear fungus in the forest after the rain.

Various kinds of mushrooms were growing in clusters.

So the group stopped, and adults and children alike started picking mushrooms.

Li Lanzhen even hummed a few lines softly, "The little girl picking mushrooms..."

The children and women all learned to sing a few lines along with her.

Soon, the forest was filled with children's choirs and mixed singing between men and women.

"The little girl picking mushrooms, carrying one on her back..."

Before the children and women had even finished getting excited.

Several children picked poisonous mushrooms, but were stopped by the adults.

They were warned that this kind of mushroom should never be eaten, as it could be fatal.

Li Lanzhen suddenly remembered a song about poisonous mushrooms.

Without realizing it, I started singing again.

"Red umbrella, white pole, after eating, let's lie down together on the board..."

Before long, the children had learned the song.

Upon hearing the song, Mr. Ye burst into laughter.

"My dear daughter, this song is quite good. It warns children not to eat mushrooms indiscriminately, or they'll end up in a terrible mess..."

Li Lanzhen was quick; she put most of the mushrooms she picked into her spatial storage.

They walked and stopped as they pleased, like they were on a picnic.

When it was lunchtime, Tonghua and the others cooked cornmeal porridge and ate a simple meal with wild vegetable pancakes.

If it hadn't rained heavily in the mountains, it would have been fine to eat dry rations while walking. However, the mountain air was very humid, so it was much more comfortable to drink something hot.

After everyone finished their meal, they got up and prepared to continue their journey.

Their steps were halted by the children's panicked shouts!
