Chapter 52 On The Road

Although everyone is a little bit reluctant, this is not my home after all, and after it snows in winter, I can't find food and can't live here anymore.

Everyone packed up their things with apprehension, put the bulky items on the cart and carried them lightly on their backs.

Fang Youwei's cart was still on Liuliu's body, Fang Zhiyuan and the older children walked first, and Jiayin was placed directly on Liuliu's body.

She originally wanted to walk with the children, but Mrs. Yang felt that she was too small and her short legs could not keep up with adults. What if she got lost, so she put her on Liuliu's back.

During this period of time, Jiayin secretly gave the family a drink of the spirit water in the space. Mrs. Yang was in much better health than before, and could go with everyone, so all the luggage and food were placed in the car.

When it comes to food, it is the yams, mushrooms, fungus, dried wild vegetables and fruits they collected during this period, plus pickled wild animals.

Every family has collected a lot, at least they can eat for a month without any problem, and they will continue to collect on the road, all the way to the south, the weather will get warmer and warmer, and there will be more things in the woods.

Everyone filled the bamboo tubes and water bags, carried two of them on their backs, and set off in a mighty way.

They are not going to take the main road, where they may encounter Yue people.

They plan to travel all the way south from the mountains and forests, so that they can bypass the county town occupied by the Yue people. Although the journey will be much longer, it will be much safer.

The cart pushers, old women, and children walked in the middle, and the rest of the young and middle-aged people surrounded the periphery, holding weapons in their hands at all times, in case there were beasts or refugees who also crossed the mountain.

The ten people pushing the cart will change every hour, so that everyone will not be too tired.

Fang Youwei and Liuliu pulled the cart and led the way, while Fang Yunping led Fang Youcai and the others to walk behind, so that the end to end echoed each other, and if something happened, it could be resolved quickly.

The journey was very peaceful, and we didn't encounter any wild beasts. Everyone felt that it was because Liuliu walked in front that it acted as a deterrent.

Of course, there are still hares and pheasants. Now everyone has practiced the archery taught by Fang Youwei. The escorts next to them all have bows and arrows in their hands. They will shoot when they see their prey. Several pheasants.

The colorful pheasants are easier to aim at, and the hares are basically shot by Fang Youwei.

Speaking of wild rabbits, I have to say that the little rabbits they raised before have grown considerably after two months, and they were all killed before they left.

Rabbit skins were used to make knee pads and winter clothes for the elderly and children, and the rabbit meat was marinated.

After walking like this for a day, when it was about to get dark, they found a flat place and planned to set up camp here to rest.

Everyone used local materials, found three or four big trees that were close together, tied them with wood as a roof, and then put up grass mats and covered them with tarpaulins to prevent rain at night.

Next, light a bunch of bonfires to heat up the ground, then spread straw mats, and surround them with straw mats. Although there will be air leakage, it is still possible to make do with one night.

After setting up the camp, Fang Youwei took a few young men with torches to look for a water source nearby. They said they were looking for a water source. In fact, everyone knew that Liuliu brought them here. There must be a water source nearby, just follow Liuliu. up.

Sure enough, they found a small pool not far away. The water in the pool was quite clear, and they found fish in the pool at a glance!

Now that it’s getting cold, it’s definitely not possible to go directly into the water to catch fish. Several people discussed it, weaved a simple fishing bag with the thin rattan next to it, tied it with a long stick, and fished it directly into the water. Really caught a half catty fish.

They succeeded once, and the few people were so happy that they didn't care about filling the water, so they hurriedly fished first...

The fish were not big, only about half a catty, and there was no place to put them in more than 20 fishes, so we had to take the fish back to the camp, and another group of people came to catch the fish.

Everyone was very happy to see the fish they brought back, and they could finally have a change of taste.

When they heard that they were going to eat fish at night, the children jumped up happily, and the tiredness of walking for a day seemed to disappear all of a sudden.
