chapter 36
Looking at the basket stuffed in his hand, Meng Yi nodded and handed the basket to the officers and soldiers in charge of cooking.

For breakfast this day, because of the Chinese cabbage sent by Xu Yuzhu, he drank a bowl of cabbage soup alone, and the soup contained chopped cabbage.

This is the group of them, and they drank vegetable soup for the first time after leaving the capital for more than half a month.

Because of the cabbage soup sent by the officers and soldiers, Xu Yuzhu and the others didn't cook anything, but each of them shared a few peanuts, which made the children almost cheer with joy.

Seeing how happy the children are now because they ate a few more peanuts, Ouyang Jin and Ouyang Qin felt a little uncomfortable.

Although I have money in my pocket, I can't spend money lavishly on the road now, so I have to save myself and go to the northwest to see what's going on.

What's more, there is Dafang who has been staring at it...

It's really frustrating...

Ouyang Jin and Ouyang Qin looked at the peanuts in their hands, and gave the unmoved one to Ouyang Feishi and Ouyang Feiluo for the two sisters to eat.

The two sisters took the peanuts, turned around and gave some to brother Ouyang Minglou, and then the children squatted by the earthen wall and started eating.Seeing this appearance, the four of Ouyang Jin felt sore...

The rain was exactly as Ouyang Jin expected, it lasted for almost three days before it stopped.

As soon as they stopped, Meng Yi beckoned them to continue on their way.

Just like that, a group of people walked on the muddy dirt road, left the yard where they had rested for three days, and continued on their way.

Maybe it was because of the black face of Meng Yi and others, Ouyang Feilian, who was disgusted and wanted to talk, pouted, glared fiercely at Ouyang Feiluo who was being held in Ouyang Minglou's arms, and then kicked deeply and shallowly. Walking on one foot.

This was delayed for three days, coupled with the muddy road and slow walking, and the stop-and-go walking for a few days, the speed of Ouyang's family and his party became slower and slower day by day.

At the beginning, I could walk forty or fifty miles a day, but now I can walk about thirty miles a day at most.

After estimating the distance, Meng Yi and Xiao Qi discussed it and decided to continue on the path.

Although the road is a bit difficult to walk, it takes about 20 days to reach the foot of the mountain, and then crosses the mountain, and then it takes a few days to reach the place.

So, when he set off again, Meng Yi said: "According to the current pace, we can only take the trail, which not only saves a lot of time, but also allows us to reach the foot of a big mountain, pass through that big mountain, and travel farther away. It’s only a hundred miles away.”

"Why don't you take the official road? This trail is too difficult to walk."

"Take the official road? Now that you travel less than thirty miles a day, do you think you can get there within three months? It's already been 25 days."

After Meng Yi finished speaking, he looked at Mrs. Ouyang coldly and asked, "Do you know how far you have traveled?"

"Let me tell you, the distance I have traveled is less than 1000 or [-] miles. Do you think I am too kind and talkative, or do you think I am illiterate?"

Meng Yi's sound fell like a thunder in everyone's hearts. After thinking about their current speed, it is really difficult to arrive within the stipulated time if they follow the official path.

Now I have traveled less than [-] miles a day. If I go further, I guess I can't even walk the current distance in a day...

Old Madam Ouyang wanted to say something, but Ouyang Hong stretched out her hand and said to Meng Yi, "We will follow Meng General's instructions and take the path."

"Well, let's go."

After Meng Yi responded with a dark face, he directly yelled to start, and then the group continued to move forward.

After Meng Yi's thunder, no one in Ouyang's family made a sound and walked as much as possible along the way.

Even the mother and son who have already practiced martial arts felt a little uncomfortable when they reached the foot of the mountain.

Although they arrived a day later than Meng Yi estimated, Meng Yi did not let them continue on their way, and said, "Today, we will rest at the foot of this mountain, and we will go up the mountain at dawn tomorrow."

Hearing Meng Yi's words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, then fell to the ground regardless of their appearance, and let out a foul breath.

Meng Yi and Xiao Jiu continued to move forward with weapons. They wanted to find out how to get there. Although they knew the route here before leaving the capital, they had to find out how to get there.

As soon as they entered the mountain, the two felt that there were people walking around the mountain, and there was almost no danger around the mountain.

The two looked at each other, nodded and moved on.

On the periphery near Zhongwei, the two found a slightly curved mountain road one day.

Xiao Jiufei got on the tree, looked carefully, and said to Meng Yi: "This should be the mountain road they said that can go directly to the opposite side of the mountain, but this mountain road should not be easy to walk."

"Come on, let's take a look."

The two continued to walk forward, and found that the mountain road was indeed becoming more and more difficult to walk. After walking a short distance, they found that the mountain road became narrower, and the trees on both sides of the mountain road were also denser.

The two did not go any further, but headed back toward the foot of the mountain.

Because going up the mountain tomorrow will take some energy, the officers and soldiers in charge of cooking each gave an extra cornbread.

The cornbread was given, but there was not much left over.

After looking at the few rations left, the officers and soldiers in charge of the rations came to Meng Yi: "General Meng, there is not much leftover rations, so I guess we have to search for food in the mountains."

Hearing this, Meng Yi pondered for a moment, then nodded and said: "Well, after going up the mountain tomorrow, I will start searching while I rest."

"Yes."

After a good rest for half an afternoon and one night, although each of them looked haggard, it was unprecedented to be able to rest for such a long time.

Seeing that everyone had received their breakfast, Meng Yi said loudly: "According to the guards who have walked past this mountain before, it can take as long as 20 days, and as little as half a month."

"Passing through this mountain, you will reach the place you are going to in a hundred miles, and there is a small town eighty miles away, where you can buy some things. Now, let's go!"

After saying this, Meng Yi led two officers and soldiers to take the lead, and Ouyang Minglou and others followed suit.

Behind them were two officers and Xiao Ba, followed by Ouyang Jin and Ouyang Hong, and at the end were Xiao Qi and two officers and soldiers.

As for Xiao Jiu and the other three officers and soldiers, they have already walked ahead, one is to find food, and the other is to see if there is any danger. As for the place to stay, they have already found it yesterday. It was found by the servants of this mountain.

Because the mountain road was winding and narrow, it was a bit difficult for most of the Ouyang family, who were walking the mountain road for the first time. They walked a little slower, and heard the sound of ouch from time to time.

Looking at the whole family, one of them was yelling that he was very tired, or the one who said he had sprained his ankle, and Xiao Qi who was walking behind was also a little angry: "Walking well will cause sprained feet? If you don't walk well, don't blame the beasts in the mountains. We're going to die."

"Why don't you save us?"

Hearing Madam Ouyang's angry words, Xiao Qi was happy: "Old Madam Ouyang doesn't believe that you can try it, it's better to shout a few more times, maybe you can attract a wild boar."
