Chapter 40 Departure
After working hard for an hour and a half, the family steamed two large pots of steamed buns and one pot of steamed buns. Qian Guilan found a new bamboo basket, put a piece of white cloth on it, put the steamed buns and buns in, and loaded them on the ox cart .

At dawn the next day, there were various sounds in the village, including children urging children to walk, people chatting with each other, and the sounds of cows.

Everyone in the Zhou family got up. After breakfast, Qian Guilan and Zhou Jiacheng carried the pot onto the bullock cart, and put all the utensils for cooking. After all, the family had enough vehicles.

"Bang bang bang!" A knock on the door came, "Sister, I'm here!" Qian Ruiping's voice came from outside the door.

"Uncle is here!" Zhou Qing immediately ran over and opened the door.

"Uncle! Have you eaten yet?" Zhou Qing asked after opening the door.

"After eating, have you packed it up?" Qian Ruiping asked.

"It's packed, and I'm about to drive the car out!"

Zhou Lin and Zhou Jiacheng drove the cars out of the yard. When Qian Ruiping saw the three cars, he couldn't help but said, "You actually have three cars!"

"Brother, we have a lot of people, and we still have food to take with us. It's more convenient to have more cars." Zhou Jiacheng replied.

Qian Ruiping was also regretting why he didn't buy another bullock cart. It wasn't like he had no money. Forget it, he would buy another one when he passed through the town.

At this time, a carriage slowly came to the end of the village. "Whose carriage is this? A horse is so expensive. Who is so rich?" the villagers murmured.

Zhou Ming saw the carriage and was also confused. The next second he saw the driver clearly. Isn't that Xiao An? "This is Master He's carriage! Master He is here!"

Zhou Jiacheng locked the door and took a look at the house. He has lived in Wangshan Village for so many years, and he is leaving today. He is still very sad, but there is no way, if he does not leave, he will have no way out.Zhou Jiacheng turned around and got on the bullock cart and drove it to the head of the village to gather.

Three cars, Zhou Jiacheng, Zhou Lin, and Zhou Qing drove one each, while Qian Guilan and the others were all sitting in the bullock cart with a shed.

The Qian family's oxcart was following them. Liu Jing's eyes were red. She went back to her parents' home yesterday to persuade her, but no one believed her. They thought she was possessed by a demon and had to become a refugee instead of being treated by a good family.

Her sister-in-law also said that she couldn't understand how they had a good time, and insisted on making trouble for them. Liu Jing was wronged. Her natal family sold tofu, and her life in the village was relatively good. After she got married, the whole family was afraid of her. Go back, afraid that she will hit the autumn wind.

The number of times she went back was rare. No one believed what she said yesterday, and they all scolded her. After returning home, she cried all night, and she still hasn't recovered.

"Brother An, is Master in there?" Zhou Lin asked as the ox cart approached the carriage.

Xiao An nodded and said, "Yes, Master is in the carriage. When should we leave?"

"When everyone in the village is full, we can leave." Zhou Lin replied.

Master He heard the voice and raised the curtain of the car, "Is everyone in your village leaving?"

"Yes, let's all go. There are only a few people in our village, and there are only more than 50 families in total." Zhou Lin replied respectfully.

Mr. He nodded and lowered the curtain.It seems that this village is relatively united, and following their team is the right choice.

At this time, everyone in the village was gone. In addition to the village chief's ox cart, the Orion family also had another cart. Everyone else was carrying baggage or baskets on their backs.Both oxcarts pulled some grain. The grain collected by the villagers yesterday was enough for the family to eat. The rest was sold and exchanged for money to carry around.

The village chief looked at the three cars of Zhou's family, followed by an ox cart belonging to his mother-in-law's family. His family had more ox carts than the entire village.

Zhou Jiacheng stepped forward and introduced, "Village Chief, this is my mother-in-law's family. They will go with us." After speaking, he pointed to the carriage, "This is Zhou Lin's wife, and they will go with us."

Good guy, this carriage actually has something to do with their family!The village chief nodded, "Let's go together. If there are more people, we can have someone to take care of us."

Zhou Jiacheng knew that he would agree. When he fled the famine, he would choose to stay in Wangshan Village because the village chief was reasonable and not xenophobic, and the people in the village were relatively simple.

"Let's take the lead with your car. You should know the direction because you have read the book. We just follow behind." The village chief said.

Zhou Jiacheng thinks it's okay, just go south, "Okay, let's open the way ahead."

"Folks, we are about to set off. Take your children and hurry on your way as soon as possible. If anyone has something to do, please call." The village head said standing on the stone at the entrance of the village.

After getting off the stone, the village chief got on his ox cart, while Zhou Jiacheng drove the ox cart forward, followed by Zhou Lin's ox cart.

Because the elderly and children walked slowly, the team was very long. When passing by other villages, many people came out to watch. When Zhou Jiacheng met someone, he said that there would be people from Beiling looting here. How many people listen to it is not something he can decide.

After walking all morning, I only walked more than 20 miles. One reason is that there are women and children in the crowd who walk slowly.

At noon, the village chief stood on the bullock cart and said, "Everyone, please stop for a while, rest for a while, and have some food."

As soon as everyone heard this, they immediately sat down. Fortunately, they were all farmers. They usually worked and had good physical strength, but they were very tired after walking all morning.

Zhou Lin took the pot off the oxcart, while Zhou Qing found a few stones and put them on the ground to hold the pot. Zhou Ming also came over with a push of firewood at this time.Zhou Yue came out of the bullock cart with a bag of dried mushrooms in her hand.

"Mom, let's make mushroom soup, it's simple, just heat the buns on top." Zhou Yue suggested to Qian Guilan.

"Okay, let's make mushroom soup." Qian Guilan took the mushrooms from Zhou Yue's hand and washed them with water. Their bullock cart had a large bucket of water installed for cooking and drinking.

Put oil in the pot, when the oil is hot, add the mushrooms and stir-fry, then pour in a basin of water, put a steamer on top, and put yesterday's buns in, so that when the water boils, the buns will be heated.

While they were cooking, Zhou Yue wanted to look around, "This, Yueyue?" Qian Ruiping said suspiciously.

"Uncle! I'm Yueyue!" Zhou Yue replied.

"Why are you dressed like this? Why is your face so dark and yellow? My uncle almost didn't recognize you." Qian Ruiping was puzzled. How could a good-looking girl become like this?

"Hey, if you don't tell me, I still can't recognize her, this is a little girl!" Xiao An said.

Master He also looked over and thought to himself, this girl is capable of disguising herself like this.

The villagers sitting around also glanced at it, all puzzled, this girl is the prettiest girl in the village, why did she look like this?
