Chapter 232 Difficult Road (1)

When we went on the road the next day, there were one old and one young. The person in the lead didn't say a word, and the others naturally stopped asking questions.

After walking for a long time, Master Yang had an opinion, and said to Han Ji: "When we get to the next place, go buy a carriage! Riding in this carriage is too bumpy, and my old bones can't bear it."

Han Ji has already got Yuxi's orders, no matter what Master Yang asks, he will satisfy him, and said with a smile: "No problem, I will buy a carriage when I get to the place where I stay."

Fortunately, their next destination is the county seat. After explaining to Huang Biaotou, Han Ji took Master Yang and Yu Zhi to buy a carriage.

In the end, I spent more than one hundred taels of silver to buy a carriage. Fortunately, Master Yang and Yu Zhi knew how to drive a carriage, so there was no need for a groom. In addition, Master Yang also asked Han Ji to buy more meat and vegetables that were easy to carry. After buying them, he asked them to move them to his carriage. The others didn't have any objections when they saw this. The host family was willing to pay and not delay their journey, so naturally they wouldn't talk too much.

Sitting on the carriage, Master Yang and Yu Zhi sighed and said: "This girl, you really know how to be a human being!" Taking advantage of people's short hands and eating others' short mouths, they can spend whatever they want, so don't ask them to contribute!

Yu Zhi smiled and said, "Master, I actually think Miss Han Si is quite nice. You see, she doesn't look like a master to Zijin at all, but like a sister." Zijin said so bluntly just now, and Han The fourth girl didn't say anything to refute.

Master Yang smiled: "If it wasn't like this, how could Zijin girl be so devoted to her?" Even if she had a good future, she didn't want to, so she followed Han girl to death and life, but seeing that girl today Girl, it's really not easy.

The first road is the best, and there are people around, so it is easy to find a place to stay, but after walking for half a month, the road began to be difficult.

The bumpy road was second to none, and the most important thing was that I couldn't find a place to stay, so I had to sleep outside at night. That night, everyone slept outside.

When it was dark, Huang Biaotou immediately raised his voice and shouted: "Everyone stop, rest here tonight."

When Yuxi got out of the carriage, she saw Huang Escort leading several other escorts to pick up some things she didn't know from one of the carriages, and couldn't help asking Zijin: "What is this?"

Zijin shook her head: "I don't know."

Master Yang stretched out his head from the carriage, took a look and said, "This is a raincloth. You can build a simple shed with this, and you won't be afraid of the wind and rain when you sleep at night. You really don't know about the raincloth."

Yu Xi didn't feel embarrassed: "It's really knowledgeable."

Someone built a shed for the night, and someone unloaded the boards from the two carriages. Some people went to pick up stones to build a stove, and some went to pick up firewood. Anyway, no one was idle.

After Yuxi saw it, she said to Mother Qu who got off the carriage and a few others, "Go and help." If you can't do heavy work, you can still help with things like cooking.

Mother Qu stepped forward and told the bodyguards who were building the stove that cooking could be handled by them. The bodyguard had no choice but to do this job, so he immediately agreed.

A bodyguard named Da Mao watched Qu's mother and others wash the pots and dishes, and asked, "Can these girls do it? Don't wait and don't cry." Cooking outside is not the same as cooking at home.

Huang Biaotou said: "I'll find out later if it's okay or not." Even if it's not okay, this attitude is still very good, at least I didn't wait there to eat.

Those who can be picked by Yuxi are not the kind of people who can't bear hardships. Washing pots and vegetables, washing rice and cooking, there is no complaint.

Master Yang looked at a group of busy women, nodded and said, "This girl..." I thought Zijin was the one who was determined,

I didn't expect the people around me to be so obedient.

Besides Qu's mother, there are two old women, one named Bai and one named Xi. Bai's mother is twenty-three years old, and Xi's mother is thirty-five years old. Mama Bai is good at cooking, but she is not from the mansion, but bought from outside. As for Mother Xi, she is good at taking care of pregnant women and children, and it was Qiu who prepared for Yuxi to have a baby in the future.

Mother Bai knows how to cook, so the job of cooking is naturally entrusted to her, and everyone else will help her. But Mama Bai doesn't need to cook, because everyone has dry food in their hands, Mama Bai just needs to cook a pot of soup and let everyone eat dry food.

Seeing this, Zisu couldn't help but said: "Girl, what do we eat? Do we also eat dry food?" The steamed buns and bean cakes were as hard as stones, and they couldn't be chewed. She is fine, but she is worried that the girl will not be able to bear it!

Yuxi said with a smile: "Everyone can eat, why can't we eat?"

Zijin said: "Girl, don't you still have a small pot? We can cook and stir-fry our own." There is no need to suffer along with it. Those are old men, and they are used to eating this kind of dry food to satisfy their hunger. The girl has never suffered such hardships, and she will not be able to bear such hardships.

Yuxi thought about it for a while, tomorrow morning she has to hurry, and she must eat dry food in the morning and afternoon, she really can't stand it like this: "Okay, let's cook a pot of rice to eat." There is no need to fry, and there is no such condition. It is already very delicious to be able to eat a bowl of fragrant rice with two pieces of bacon.

After the rice was ready, Yuxi asked someone to fill two bowls and send them to Master Yang and Yu Zhi. These two are her guests, so they must not be neglected.

Others have no objection to Yuxi's actions. As for women, they definitely can't compare with these old men. Moreover, the soup that Mama Bai made was much more delicious than their own, which was a surprise.

After eating, Zisu whispered, "Girl, don't you need to wash?"

Yuxi is not used to it either, she has to take a bath before going to bed every day, but now outside, she can't take a bath if she wants to: "Stay outside! Wait until you get to the inn to wash!" So much attention.

At Xu time, everyone was asleep.

Yuxi didn't go to sleep in the small shed specially built for her, but slept directly on the carriage. Although the shed can keep out the wind and rain, it is very simple, and it is not as good as a carriage! The three of them slept in the carriage at night, although it was a bit crowded, but it would be warmer if we squeezed together in the cold at night.

In the middle of the night, Yuxi was awakened by the cry of wild animals. At this moment, there was a whimpering sound from the carriage behind. There was crying at night, which was strange.

Zijin pressed Yuxi's arm and said, "Girl, I'll go out and have a look." After speaking, she put on her coat, opened the car door and went out.

The cold wind rushed in, even Yu Xi shivered even when she was curled up under the blanket. Zijin came back not long after she went out, and at this time her crying stopped.

Yuxi asked softly: "Did you cry because of fright?" Among the maidservants who came out with her, except for Tian Ju, the other three had never experienced hardship on weekdays. No one complained of suffering or tiredness along the way, and it was not easy to survive until now.

Zi Jin hummed, and said, "I was scared and cried. But I said that even if I was afraid, it wouldn't affect others. Everyone has to hurry tomorrow morning! Girl, don't worry, this is a process, just get used to it." Take this as an experience, and it would be good for these maids to experience more things.

The next day, before dawn, Qu's mother and the others got up to make breakfast. When it comes to breakfast, it’s actually a pot of porridge with some soaked dried vegetables and minced meat.

Yuxi's place is still open as usual, it doesn't matter if these old men eat rough food, but the few maids who come with them eat and drink well in the mansion every day, if they eat these things every day, they will definitely not be able to bear it , so Yuxi asked to put red dates and longan in the porridge.

Yu Xi looked at the maidservants who looked a bit haggard, and said: "You have to eat even if you don't have an appetite. There is no cooked food at noon. If you don't eat now, you have to wait until evening."

Among these maidservants, except for Tian Ju, the other three were crying while eating. Zisu looked at it and was angry: "Why are you crying? The girl didn't cry and you cried instead? Or do you think you are more delicate than the girl?" The girl didn't make a sound from yesterday to today, these people are good, cry It doesn't stop, it's uncomfortable to hear. Zisu has also suffered from old crimes these days. When I was going out, I happened to meet Xiao Rizi, who was very uncomfortable, and it was uncomfortable to lie on the carriage. But the only good thing is that there is a place to sleep in those few days and nights, unlike last night when I had to sleep in the barren mountains.

Yu Xi didn't reprimand, but said: "Hurry up and eat, and you have to wash the pots and dishes after eating! If you didn't sleep well yesterday, you can make up for it in the carriage today." Now it's just that the journey is a bit difficult. Bandit, I don't know what to do yet!

Thinking of this, Yuxi couldn't help asking Zijin in a low voice: "Do you think there's something wrong with me?" Others were scared like something, but she wasn't scared at all, Yuxi was worried that others would think she was abnormal.

Zijin hurriedly asked: "What's wrong? Could it be that the girl is not feeling well?" Zijin knew that Yuxi was courageous, so she didn't think there was anything unusual about her.

Hearing that Zisu said the same thing again, Yuxi was relieved.

The next afternoon, a group of people passed by a village. Yuxi saw that Escort Huang didn't let everyone stop, so she thought for a while and said to Luo Shuigui: "Uncle Luo, you can send someone to the village to buy some fresh vegetables, and then buy some chicken, duck and oil. It would be good to fry and order food at night." She can't stand eating meat porridge all the time!

Luo Shuigui had no objection, and immediately called people to buy food in the village. After Huang Escort heard about it, he called Da Mao: "Follow them and go shopping in the village!" Huang Escort thought that Yuxi would ask to stay in the village tonight! Unexpectedly, the other party just asked people to buy things, and did not make other requests.

Huang Biaotou was still very satisfied with this. It's not that he's unreasonable, but it's only after noon, if you stay overnight, you'll have to delay another afternoon. These days are sunny and the road is easy to walk. Naturally, if you can walk a little longer, you will not be so lucky when it rains.

ps: There will be another update later. (to be continued)
