104, [Overnight in Longitudinal Mountain]
Fang Chang nodded and saw Uncle Li opposite him, and before he could set the pace, he turned the topic to this direction, and he felt a little happy.
Then he took the opportunity to say, "That situation is really dangerous!"
When Uncle Li heard that the guests were interested in this, he was more excited and waved his hands even more:
"Isn't that true! At that time, I was hiding in the tree. Through the gaps of the leaves, I could see the knife-holding thief passing under the tree. Blood was dripping from the blade, which scared me so much that I didn't dare to come out."
"I didn't dare to move after a long time because I was suspicious that they were still guarding around me until the evening when I went down from the tree."
"That time, I was really a little bit short of it. I almost told me there. After I escaped by chance, I was bedridden for about two or three months and didn't dare to go out."
"Fortunately, the shopkeeper of the business was generous and gave a lot of pensions. Then there was news that the government organized military troops to wipe out all the scattered bandits. None of them were left, and they were killed on the spot. I walked out of the shadow and started working again."
After saying that, Uncle Li wiped his sweat, and seemed to be still scared.
Fang Chang took the opportunity to ask: "With that experience, AEON suffered a lot?"
"Yes, half of the guys who drove the car together that time were cut and killed in front of me. Over the years, I occasionally dreamed of them, and then woke up from my sleep. Alas..."
"More than that, the goods were very valuable and were all robbed. Even if the thieves were later wiped out, they could not be recovered. With the pension money, the Longan Mansion branch almost survived, and it was the support of the general account to hold on."
"There are not many other people in the car, and there are also couples who have new children in other places to prepare to return home. They end up walking with the convoy. After meeting the robbers, the child and the old servant were killed. They were sad and many geniuses left, and they were not even in the mood to ask for pensions from the business."
Hearing this, Fang Chang focused his attention in an instant.
He then continued the topic, slightly raised the rhythm, and sighed: "It's so miserable."
Uncle Li was also quite moved: "Yes, the couple is very young, but fortunately their second child died, so they will not be too sad."
"Where are they from? Why do you follow the Aeon convoy?" Fang Chang asked directly.
"Well, I think... it seems to be from Yuzhou? Yes, that's right, I remember that I was from Yuzhou, because the purpose of the convoy was Yuzhou, and I walked together because I followed the way."
"What's the surname of this family?"
"I am deeply impressed by this. It is a relatively rare surname. The male owner's surname is Shui." Uncle Li turned his hand and touched the back of his head and said without any stuttering.
For ordinary people these days, they don’t know much or far away. Many new things will be remembered for many years, or even a rare surname.
Fang Chang nodded, exchanged greetings again, and refused the other party's meal.
…………
...
Yuzhou is a little far away from Yangzhou, but there is no hurry. It takes a long time to go by slowly. Anyway, the goal has been confirmed. After all, in terms of the information collected so far, in that incident, only this couple with their children should be their original parents.
However, the vegetables in the cellar on Xianqi Cliff may not end well if they have been away from the mountain for a long time.
After asking, AEON Trading has not had a convoy to Yuzhou this month, and the carriages are mainly short-distance passenger transport, and there are no direct carriages.
Fang Chang simply left Long'an Mansion and headed westward.
After taking a bus through Huaifeng Mansion, Xingqing Mansion, and leaving Jingzhou, he traveled day and night, heading west.
The temperature is getting lower and lower, and frost even appears on the grass leaves in the early morning.
There were fewer pedestrians on the road, and their clothes gradually became thicker. As they left Jingzhou, the scenery next to the road gradually became different, the vegetation changed, and even the accents of residents were very different.
Relying on the sufficient money in the package, Fang Chang used a carriage as the main means of transportation, so moving forward was quick.
Whenever he arrives, if he has free time, he will always search for local food and savor it carefully. As his purpose approaches, as he feels relaxed, Fang Chang actually feels that there has been a big bottleneck that has not been in movement for a long time, and has become a little loose.
This made him a little happy.
But sometimes Fang Chang would complain in his heart: Maybe this is the legendary travel practice?
The official roads on the earth are well connected and have been peaceful for a long time. Most of them have been well repaired, with the specifications very consistent with the one at the foot of Yunzhong Mountain. People and cars are busy with each other.
However, not every two places can have vehicles.
Fangchang still needs to walk occasionally.
There is a narrow mountain range facing north and south between Weizhou and Qizhou, called "Longduan", which separates the traffic between the two states and is also the natural boundary of these two states. If you take a car, you can only take a detour from a distance. However, for people like Fanglong who have no goods to transport, walking on a mountain road and crossing this Longduan Mountain is the fastest way to travel between the two states.
At this time, Fang Chang had already removed the blindness and returned to his white clothes.
The sun sets westward, and he walks alone in the wilderness. The mountain road is not flat, very rugged, and is uncertain. Occasionally, there are big rocks coming out of the middle of the road. Fortunately, this road seems to be often walked, and the grass and trees are trampled cleanly.
There is no village or shop here, and there is no pedestrian in Fangchang. When you look around, there are no other pedestrians. Everyone will plan their accommodation in advance. After all, sleeping in the mountains is extremely dangerous for ordinary people, and they may be taken away by some wild beast.
"It seems that I can only make do with it for one night here."
Fang Chang looked around and said to himself.
The surroundings are very cold and there is no trace of people. There are hills in front and behind. Occasionally, you can see a little winding mountain path from the slope, which is the extension of the road under your feet.
There is no shortage of dry food in the package, and there is wine in the gourd around your waist.
Sleeping in this mountain for a night is all you need to prepare a bonfire and a habitat.
It seems that we need to use the old craft of drilling wood to make fire.
He picked a place with few flammable materials around and did not cause wildfire dangers, cleared the open space, and then found firewood and hay, took off his belt, made a simple fire bow with soft and hard wood, and quickly pulled it for half a quarter of an hour.
Soon, a burning bonfire appeared on the clearings, illuminating the surrounding night.
I simply cleaned the side and baked the dry food to make it fragrant. I ate the sorghum wine in the gourd. Fang Chang unpacked the wrapping and oil paper umbrella behind my back, spread it on the ground with old clothes, and was not afraid of the cold, so I lay directly on the ground by the fire.
It's late at night.
The bonfire is getting smaller.
Some eyes reflected starlight and began to wander among the mountains and hunt.
Some of them were attracted by the fragrance of dried food, so I came here to check it out. Seeing that the ground was long, I kept my saliva and wanted to rush.
Chapter completed!
