Everyone got up late today and continued on their journey after dinner. I looked at my pocket watch and it was already ten o'clock. It was really hot. I don't know if it was because it was hot at this time of year or because I was wearing too many clothes, but I was sweating all over. Everyone said that it was quite hot today.
After walking for two hours, the children were clamoring to stop walking and wanted to rest. I had originally planned to get up late today so I could walk a few more miles.
"Then let's take a rest. You guys from the Liu family, cook. Han Ya, go see if there's any water nearby and give some to the horses. We also need water to cook. The water in the carriage is almost gone. Remember to boil some hot water for drinking on the way.
Zhao Sanniu found a place under a tree, laid out a mat for Wang Li to sit on, and then he went to collect firewood.
Wang Li looked up and saw that everyone was covered in dust and their hair was messy. She had just washed her hands and face last night, but the sun was too strong today and the road was covered in yellow dust.
I wish that in the 21st century, all the roads in rural areas will be made of cement.
Wang Li thought, if she asked them to boil water and add some sugar and salt into it, they might get heatstroke.
It's too hot. I feel like the weather is not right today. I looked around and saw only one tree. There were no farmlands nearby, just small hills. The children had nowhere to hide.
Be sure to buy a piece of tarpaulin when you go to the city, so that when you have no place to rest, you can build one yourself.
Wang Li saw that everyone was unable to walk anymore, so she said, "Everyone, make an effort. If we can get into the city today, I will take you to stay in a hotel and have a good meal. We can't stay here any longer. Let's leave after dinner. There are so many people here that we have nowhere to hide if bandits come."
After hearing what Wang Li said, several people looked around and realized that it was not safe in this deserted place.
Zhao Sanniu looked ahead and asked, "I wonder if there are any pheasants or rabbits?"
His wife cursed him secretly, saying that everyone was afraid of encountering the Japanese and bandits, but you only want to eat what you want, and then she slapped him in the face.
Haha, there’s nothing to say about this couple…
Liu's, talking to himself while cooking.
"I don't know how old man is doing. It's been several days and the young master didn't even send a message. Sigh...!"
The Sanniu family also sighed: "I don't know what's wrong with us in this world now. It's hard to even have enough food, why do we have to fight wars?"
Han Ya: "Stop nagging, it's so hot, let's eat and go, it would be nice to find a cool place to lie down."
After dinner, I boiled some water, put it in a pot, and placed it on the rack at the back of the carriage. I got on the carriage and continued on my journey. It was so hot that I felt I could fry eggs on the ground.
It was around 5 p.m. when we turned a corner and saw a car parked on the road with a Japanese kid sitting next to it. Two women were taking pictures of the cornfield nearby. Suddenly, a woman ran up to the carriage and started talking in a gibberish for a long time. We couldn't understand her. We hoped to avoid making her angry and letting her kill us.
Wang Li's expression did not change, but she was extremely anxious.
Suddenly the Japanese guy came over and looked at Wang Li. "You guys line up and stand by the cornfield. Miss Qunzi wants to take pictures."
"You, point at the daughter of Sanniu's family and wrap a corn."
He asked several people to carry the load, and asked Wang Li to hold a stone.
I don’t know what’s wrong with him. If he doesn’t listen, he’s afraid of getting shot. If he listens, it’s too embarrassing and he’s so angry.
These little Japanese are so abominable. The silly girl is still smiling foolishly there. It’s so sad!
The two Japanese women and the little Japanese were standing nearby, smiling the happiest. The man taking the photo was probably a driver, and the Japanese was probably also trying to pick up girls.
I've never seen them in a good mood.
After taking the photo, he said, “Go ahead, don’t block the road.
Several people drove away in a hurry in the carriage.
