Chapter 227 Cart
The rain gradually stopped, and the heavy rain went away as quickly as it came. In the blink of an eye, the sky cleared up.

Just looking at the muddy road outside the pavilion, Liu Ji felt dizzy.

The dead memories in his mind began to revive, and he recalled the days when he encountered heavy rain and mud while transporting grain at the border.

He only regretted that the ink in his stomach was limited and could not describe the pain in words.

"Ms. Qin, should we wait any longer?" Liu Li asked with a frown. He stood on the stone steps of the pavilion, lifting his legs several times but not willing to step out.

On my feet were new shoes that my wife had just made for me when I left home. If I stepped on them, they would be absolutely dirty.

There are no rain boots here, so Qin Yao has no better way even if she doesn't want to get her shoes dirty.

But it’s okay to have a few less dirty shoes.

Qin Yao took a look at the sky. It should not rain in the afternoon. "Let's keep going. We can reach the next town in another twenty miles. It's not far away."

After saying that, seeing that Liu Li had no objection, Qin Yao told Liu Ji: "Go and bring the carriage over. I will carry the children into the carriage first."

What could Liu Ji say? He could only lament and stepped on the ground washed by mud and water. There was a "pop" and the feeling of stepping on shit was really great.

Da Zhuang signaled Liu Li to wait at the pavilion, and followed Liu Ji, stepping on the mud to bring the carriage over. Liu Li stepped onto the carriage with Da Zhuang's help from a distance of more than half a meter.

He suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Liu Ji with a slightly proud look.

"Hey~" Liu Ji curled his lips, being pretentious!He is not envious!

Qin Yao carried the four brothers and sisters of Dalang to the carriage one by one, and asked them to sit down. She jumped on the other side of the carriage and sat outside with Liu Ji. The two families continued to set off.

However, the road was muddy and the load was heavy. After taking only two steps, Huang refused to move.

"Hey, you stubborn horse, I just gave you a scoop of good beans this morning and you are now losing energy?" After driving the horse several times but refusing to move, Liu Ji couldn't help cursing.

Liu Li's master and servant walking behind were blocked by the carriage in front and could not move forward.

However, their carriage only carried two people, and the situation was not much better than that of Qin Yao's family.

Lao Huang is a tall horse, and his strength goes without saying.

The Liu Li family's horse is a common pony with a smaller body. In addition, their horse's wheels are made of pure wood that are not covered with metal, so it is very difficult for the horse to pull.

Listening to the shouts in front and behind, Qin Yao looked up at the sky, took a deep breath, pushed Liu Ji, jumped out of the carriage, and stepped firmly into the mud.

Liu Ji was a little angry when he was suddenly pushed out of the car, but before he could get angry, he saw Qin Yao also jump out.

Very good, now I can't stop myself from rolling in mud, fair enough.

"Ms. Qin?" Da Zhuang from behind asked suspiciously, "What are you going to do?"

Qin Yao replied: "Lose weight and push the cart."

She called Liu Li in the carriage, "Let's get down and walk. There's a town ahead. Just find a place to wash up."

Being dirty is nothing compared to being stuck on the road and delaying your trip.

We were already delayed for nearly an hour because we were sheltering from the rain. If we were delayed any longer, we wouldn't be able to reach the next town until dark.

Da Zhuang jumped down first and asked Liu Li to continue riding in the car. He could just push the car.

Liu Li struggled for a while, and finally, under Da Zhuang's persuasion, decided to stay on the carriage and try to see if it would work. If it didn't work, he would get off the carriage.Qin Yao didn't have anything to say about the matter between the master and the servant, so he just let them go.

He told Dalang and Siniang, who were leaning against the car window, "Stay in the car well, stay away from the window, and be careful if your clothes are splashed by muddy water."

Dalang shook his head, "I'll get out of the car too."

Liu Ji rarely had a conscience attack and quickly stopped him, "Don't do it. Listen to your mother and stay well."

Otherwise, when he gets to town, he will have to wash more than just the evil woman's and his own clothes, shoes and socks!
Dalang didn't think as much as his father thought, but he also knew what kind of strength his parents were and he would be obedient.

Liu Ji was leading the horse in front, and Qin Yao was pushing the cart beside him. Lao Huang felt that the pressure was relieved a lot, and he was finally willing to move forward and slowly walked forward.

Da Zhuang pulled the horse, but the horse was willing to go, but the speed was not as fast as Qin Yao's. The distance between the two sides got further and further away. Seeing that Qin Yao wanted to stop and wait, Liu Ji couldn't help but shout at the carriage. One sound:
"Liu Laoer, can't you get out of the car and go?! You're so slow and you want me to wait for you. If you keep waiting like this, it's going to be dark!"

Qin Yao didn't stop him, but looked at Liu Ji in amusement as he jumped up and down in mud and water like a monkey.

As soon as Liu Ji turned around, he saw her teasing smile and pointed at her angrily, "Why are you laughing? We are all the same!"

Qin Yao frowned, "Are you looking for death?"

But she didn't know that there was also a drop of yellow mud on her face, which was stuck on her chin. Like the matchmaker in the opera, Liu Ji would not dare to laugh at her unless it was really funny.

"Pfft~" He couldn't hold it in and farted in his mouth.

Da Lang, Er Lang, San Lang and Si Niang, who were standing by the car door, were infected and laughed "hahaha".

"Auntie, you look like a matchmaker!" Erlang said while pointing at Qin Yao's chin with a smile.

Qin Yao was startled and raised her hand to touch her chin. She couldn't hold back her cold face and couldn't help laughing.

The laughter of a family of six resounded through the sky and spread far and wide.

After laughing until they were out of breath, the family stopped, all with tears in their eyes.

But with such a smile, the muddy journey didn’t feel bad anymore.

As expected of Grandma’s little cotton-padded jacket, Si Niang found the handkerchief, stretched out her little hand and handed it to Qin Yao, “Grandma, wipe your face.”

Qin Yao tapped her little nose. The little girl was afraid of itchiness, so she shrank her neck again and smiled "hehe" at her.

Qin Yao wiped her face clean and put the dirty handkerchief on the car's shaft first. She couldn't help but hold Siniang's cute little face with her palms and exclaimed, "It's so cute!"

Si Niang was so embarrassed by being kissed that she squatted by the car door admiringly and looked at her with her big, fluttering eyes. She felt that at this moment, she was the happiest girl in Shengguo!
Da Zhuang led the carriage and finally caught up.

The road ahead has gradually dried up, and the two companies have picked up speed.

Before dark, we successfully arrived at the town we planned to pass through.

There is only one simple little inn in the town here. Candidates who rush to Fucheng to take the exam along the way will pass by it. Three waves of people have already arrived at the inn, and there are only two rooms left, one for each family.

The room was very small, and Liu Ji bewitched the first man, the second son, and the third son. The father and son ran over to report to Qin Yao, saying that the men slept together on the floor at night.

Liu Ji was afraid that Qin Yao would force him to sleep in the carriage. It was not cold today, but there were many mosquitoes at night, so sleeping outside was almost like suffering.

Fortunately, although the room is small, it has everything it needs. The waiter has smoked the room with mugwort in advance, and the floor is also covered with wooden floors, which can meet the needs of laying a floor.
