Chapter 18: Chapter 18: The Way Forward

I kept on driving, and finally arrived at the agreed ten-mile slope when it was about to get dark.

At this time, they had already left the jurisdiction of Fengming Town and walked to the range of the state capital, but they were getting farther and farther away from the official road. This was the farthest place on the map in the head of the third great-uncle.

Everyone is very worried. There is no guidance for the next road, and they have not gone through it. What if we go astray?
"The most stupid way is to follow the north and see the Big Dipper." Hua Fansheng gave a solution.

"Father, you can wait for grandpa and the others to come over. Grandpa has been in business since he was a child, and he must have traveled farther!" Huatian reminded.

The third great-uncle slapped his head: "Yes, first wait for your wife's family to come over."

Hua Nai: "Don't panic, I know the way!"

Huatian, everyone... Could you please say it earlier, it frightens everyone.

"Changsheng's family, you've made everyone anxious. But you've been in the village all your life, when did you know the way?" Uncle Third was very puzzled, and asked the question for everyone.

"Third Uncle, haven't you forgotten?" Hua Nai thought to herself, when she reunited with Da'er, she actually went to Fucheng with the big crowd. Reunited with Da'er, so the last time they walked was not the official way, but the way they are walking now.

As for going to Beijing with Da'er and the princess's family later, it was an official way, so she could only go to Fucheng.

If Shangjing doesn't take the unofficial route or go further north, maybe it will really be fumbled at that time?I don't know if Da'er knows the way?

"What did you forget?" Uncle Third couldn't understand what Hua Nai wanted to say for a while, and he also knew.

Hua Nai glanced at Hua Tian and motioned for her to endorse, Hua Tian understood.

"Third Grand Uncle, you forgot, Grandpa entrusted Grandma with a dream, and the route of this journey must also be entrusted to Grandma, Grandma, don't you think so?" Hua Tian asked Hua Nai.

"It's really that Xiao Nier is right, that's exactly what it is. Third Uncle, can you rest assured now?" Hua Nai asked.

"Well, that's the truth, then we will listen to your directions, but it's inconvenient for you to say that our family is ahead of you while walking like this. Otherwise, can you draw a picture from memory? It's probably fine. " Hua Santai uncle said a little embarrassed.

After all, he felt that it would be a bit difficult for the Changsheng family to leave the drawing of the picture.

"I don't even know how to draw pictures. I can recognize them as I walk and remember them in my mind. But drawing..." Hua Nai was also very hesitant.

So everyone started to have trouble again.

Just at this time, Hua Tian had a flash of inspiration, hugged Hua Nai's arm and shook lightly: "Grandma, can you tell me? If you can tell me, I will draw it, with Daddy as a supplement, as long as Grandma you don't If I make a mistake, I will definitely not draw it in the wrong direction." Hua Tian vowed.

The reason why my father’s first reaction was that she bought a script to play when she crossed over. He said that this is nothing else, that is to say, she loved to play in her previous life. Whether it is a script or camping in the wilderness, organizing trips is often done.

Therefore, drawing pictures is also a very important part of making road maps for their travels. Not to mention land road maps, she can draw even water road maps.

That's why she dared to boast in front of everyone.

Hua Dad also knew this, so he didn't refuse.

"You really can?" Uncle Third asked suspiciously.

"Yes, Tian Nier's grandma often arranges for the following people to go to the darts, but Tian Nier is almost always watching the topographical map given before each dart trip, so it's not surprising to know this." , Grandpa will come tomorrow, and he is not afraid of wearing it.

Fortunately, Huatian had a memory, so he blinked at his father twice.

"As for the Changsheng family, you can tell Xiao Nier that we will have a look at the painting, and if we are sure, we will follow this way." Uncle Hua san directly made the decision.

Hua Tian took out a piece of sackcloth, and was about to draw it with a charcoal pen, but was stopped by Hua Nai. "You prodigal, what if you make a mistake in your drawing? Here, draw on this sandy ground. If you can't draw well, your dad can fix it. When you finish, let your dad copy it."

Huatian: Uh, there is a kind of worry that makes grandma worry about me.

So, Huatian broke a branch and prepared it on the sand.Hua Nai pretended to cough twice, and Hua Niang handed over a bowl of water.At this time, Auntie Dong was cooking porridge through the stove buried by shopkeeper Tong.

Hua Niang took a look at her stomach, so she scooped out a bowl of flour from her body food, and was going to ask her aunt to steam steamed buns for everyone. Not good for demonstration.

Hua Dad's eyes were almost glued to Hua Niang's body, and Hua Niang patted her on the back: "Look at your future, look at it. Xiao Nier, start painting from here, here is Shilipo.

Going down there is a wasteland, there are basically no people. After walking for half a month, turn right and there is a small village. After crossing the dry river, there is a big village on the other side of the river. Many refugees will follow from the big village. Some of them ate Guanyin soil. Stretching their stomachs hard and big, as your father said, when the refugees have no water to drink, they first drink the blood of women and children, and finally eat children when they have nothing to eat.

Fifty miles ahead, there are dry grasslands and cracked wastelands along the way. In your uncle's words, there is no grass growing, yes, that's the word.There will be a three-way road here, [-] miles to the right is the official road, halfway to the middle is the mine, and you can continue to the north after bypassing the mine, but there are heavy guards guarding this road. Turn left and you will enter a stretch of hills, where bandits occupy the hills and open their villages.

There are mountain streams flowing down the mountain, and the down stream is guarded by bandits, who have to pay for drinking water, and there are also unreasonable ones who rob the refugees directly, and some even bully women, they are no better than beasts! "

While talking, Hua Nai first gritted her teeth and then shed tears, but she didn't realize it.

Huatian's heart was in a ball when he heard this, and he quickly took out a handkerchief to help Huana wipe it.

"You girl, what are you doing, you don't have to be ashamed." Hua Nai stamped her feet.

If you can live and walk another [-] miles from this area, there is a rascal in the valley who wants to pay for the road. The mountain road has high peaks on both sides, and it is the only road in the middle. Not much conflict.

It is very close to Fucheng from here. It only needs to go to the left and right for ten miles to get there.

And at that time, it was almost when the disease was spreading by the sea, and the entire land route along the coast was full of epidemics, and the refugees had to go there.

The imperial examination will be suspended after this spring, and it will resume in another four years. "
