90, Chapter 90
The boundary of Yongzhou is not clear, but Qin Fang and their walking speed were such that even if they walked for three days, they would not be able to get out of the boundary of Yongzhou.
After leaving home in the afternoon, Qin Fang said to Kunshi: "Kunshi, you and Tao Shan go ahead and explore the road to see where we can stop at night. Try to choose a flatter place with fewer sides. trees, and then look for a place with water.”
Kunshi: "Yes."
The flatter area is convenient for setting up tents and for families to rest on the ground. There are fewer trees for safety reasons, because trees will block people's vision. If there are dangerous people or objects hidden behind trees, they may be ignored by the public. Water is necessary for life. Whether it is washing or eating, water is indispensable.
Kunshi and Tanshan went to explore the road ahead. They went to explore the road on horseback, which was faster than walking. After about an hour, they came back. Although the boundary of Yongzhou is not , due to the speed of their walking, it would take three days to get out of the boundary of Yongzhou on horseback. Yongzhou was guarded by the troops led by Marquis Yonghe. Not only were the border guards guarded, but even some bandits in Yongzhou did not dare to act recklessly.
In the early years, there were bandits in Yongzhou. Later, Yonghehou led troops to suppress the bandits several times, and then there were bandits in Yongzhou. Therefore, Qin Fang was still very relieved during these three days. At least man-made dangers will not arise. However, ordinary man-made dangers would not overestimate their capabilities and conflict with them.
After Kunshi came back, he talked about the road conditions ahead. Kunshi had already walked this road once a few days ago, and went to Yunxiang County to investigate the situation. So now he was still impressed by the road conditions, but in order to be more sure, he continued to explore the road.
Kunshi: "General, it will take half an hour to get out of this forest. Beyond the forest, there will be a village. There is a river in the village, which is probably a tributary of Yongjiang River. We will spend the night in the village. Can."
Qin Fang said: "Okay, you go over and say hello to the village chief first. We will send a group of people over to prevent panic among the villagers."
Kunshi: "Yes."
Kun Shi immediately left again. When Qin Fang led a group of people to the village and the river, Kun Shi was already there. There was an old man and two middle-aged men beside him. .
Qin Fang turned over and dismounted: "We'll set up camp at home and rest, and we'll be on our way in the morning." As he said that, he looked at Kunshi. Kunshi brought the people next to him over, "General, these are the village chief and villagers from the next village. They are here to pay tribute to the general."
The first is to be polite, the second is to show up and leave an impression on the distinguished person, and the third is to confirm the authenticity of Kun Shi's words. What if the person who comes is not good? When the village chief came, he was also frightened. However, seeing that most of these people were ordinary people, as well as old people, children and women, the village chief felt relieved.
When the village chief saw Li, he wisely left.
Yang Haiyan also got off the carriage. Uncle Hong and others moved out three stoves, and then three more pots and started cooking.
Aunt Hong shouted: "I'm making bone porridge tonight. Each person has two bowls and a copper plate. Anyone who needs it can register." What's faster than making porridge?
When they heard that it was bone porridge and there were two bowls of rice porridge, everyone signed up one after another. Even if some barbaric people don't eat it themselves, they still have to buy two bowls for the elderly and children. In fact, many barbarians are also rich. They know that they have to hurry and it is inconvenient to bring too many things, so during the fifteen days of reorganization, they have already gone to the city to exchange for banknotes.
Yang Haiyan is indeed not making any money for two bowls of porridge, but she will not lose money either. You must know that a pound of rice only costs six cents, and can make more than ten bowls of porridge. Of course, a lot of water is added to these dozen bowls of porridge.
But today is the first day on the road, and everyone has eaten well the first day, so it is not easy to be hungry today. And I have a rest at night, and I have another meal tomorrow morning, so I can cope with it by drinking porridge for dinner.
With three pots, the porridge can be cooked in two quarters of an hour. There are about fifty bowls in each pot. Not many people ate the first time, so it was over after five or six times. Because there was still plenty of dry food brought by my family on the first day, so I had to eat the dry food first.
The Qin family also eats porridge. While eating porridge, Yang Haiyan had an idea and mentioned it to Qin Fang: "Ms. sir, when I'm on my way tomorrow, I want to go ahead and wait for you at the next resting point."
Qin Fang was puzzled: "Why?"
Yang Haiyan explained: "For example, today there were more than 300 people buying porridge, and the pot only has three pots. Even if it is hot, it will take more than an hour to cook. In the future, there will be more people buying porridge, and there will definitely be no time to cook. So... I thought we would go ahead, and when you arrive with your family, we would have already cooked the meal, so it wouldn’t take much time. Moreover, since Kun Shi and others would accompany me, my safety would be guaranteed. "Yes, you don't have to worry about me." She hoped that these more than 3,000 people could arrive in Yunxiang County in good health, not for the sake of those people, but because Qin Fang was the leading general, and she hoped that Qin Fang could complete it beautifully. This mission.
Qin Fang thought for a moment: "You bring the private guards with you, and I will ask Colonel Yang to send twenty people to accompany you. When the time comes, you can send them out if you want to work."
Yang Haiyan: "Hey."
The riverside was a bit humid, especially at night. Although the place where they rested was close to the riverside, they still kept a distance.
The barbarian people began to look for a place to sleep. Some families have a large number of people, including some in their prime, who will carry thin quilts on their backs and cover the elderly and children when they sleep. Some family members are relatively weak, and there are men who cannot carry the quilt on their backs. They will wear thicker clothes so that they will not feel cold when sleeping. When they are on the road during the day, they will put on their clothes when they get hot. Taking it off is just for convenience.
However, in order to prevent the night dew from entering the family's body, Qin Fang asked the family to prepare more fires to warm the family's body.
If she went there, Yang Haiyan would take a shower every day, but under the current situation, it was inconvenient not to mention taking a shower, even washing her body. Qin Fang settled the people, checked the surrounding situation, and went to find Yang Haiyan. When he saw Yang Haiyan, Mrs. Yang, Mrs. Lu and others chatting around the fire, he was embarrassed to walk too close, so he just kept his distance and shouted: "Yanyan."
His voice was deep and deep. When he shouted like this, everyone looked at him. General Qin, who had always been steady, almost lost his face at this sight, but he pretended to be steady inside.
Yang Haiyan raised her head and asked silently. Qin Fang beckoned towards her, his movements were a bit like beckoning a small pet. Yang Haiyan saw it and inexplicably liked it. She stood up and walked over: "What's wrong?"
Qin Fang looked around, then took her hand and walked aside: "Do you want to take a bath? It's not convenient here. I'll take you to the village in front. You can take a bath at the village house." "Qin Fangfang has a plan in mind. This is the edge of the village, and the area is safe. He can rest assured that his family will settle here. He would only take Yang Haiyan to do some private things when he ensured the safety of these people. Otherwise, he would not do things that were private and official.
Yang Haiyan's heart felt warm. He knew that she liked to take a bath every day. She was satisfied that she could still remember a few things about her in such a busy situation. She smiled knowingly: "No, it's okay if you don't take a shower for a few days. You won't be able to smell it either."
After saying this, Qin Anxin was moved. The man who was the first lover was the most aggrieved. His eyes were filled with sparks, as if he wanted to see through her. "Yanyan, you are so bad." Every time she deliberately hooked him, it just didn't go as he intended. It was like this when I was not eighteen years old, and it is like this now.
Yang Haiyan smiled proudly and happily. However, there is no need to take a bath, but the private areas still need to be wiped, so she said to Qin Fang again: "Then you go and bring me a basin of hot water, tie it with the one I usually use. The basin with the red rope is for her to wash. Although Qin Fang doesn’t know what this basin is for, he knows that his wife pays great attention to it. He said, "Okay, then you go to the tent... go to the carriage and wait." There was still a little shadow in the tent, and he didn't want her wife to do anything. Be seen.
The couple were talking here, and Mrs. Yang seemed to have eaten a mouthful of dog food over there. Of course, she didn't know the word dog food yet, but she felt that when General Qin called Han Qin's wife Yanyan, there was a hint of boredom... It wasn't boring, but it was hard to say, as if General Qin loved him very much. Mrs. Qin. Speaking of which, I was just a little envious, feeling that General Qin was too affectionate towards Mrs. Qin.
Mrs. Yang pulled Mrs. Lu and whispered in Mrs. Lu's ear: "Did you hear what General Qin called Mrs. Qin just now?"
Mrs. Lu nodded: "What's wrong?"
Mrs. Yang looked at Mrs. Lu's calm expression and was a little surprised: "Don't you think it's a bit...somewhat enviable for General Qin to call Mrs. Qin by her nickname in public?"
What else did Mrs. Lu think? It turned out to be this, and she really felt it. Mrs. Lu said: "When General Qin was a centurion the year before last, he lived next door to our house. General Qin also shouted like this at that time. I was used to hearing it."
Mrs. Yang: It turns out she is the only one eating dog food.
"However, General Qin does love Mrs. Qin very much." Mrs. Lu added, "But that's because Mrs. Qin has the ability. We all know who General Qin was in the past. Mrs. Qin opened a shop and bought a manor, and the money she earned Yes...at that time, she also took good care of General Qin. "At least when delivering meals, there was meat in every meal. In Mrs. Lu's mind at that time, having meat dishes was a wife's respect for her husband.
When people are poor, the most precious thing in their hearts is meat. Giving away all the meat is a good representation of this person's heart.
Mrs. Yang also smiled immediately and continued to speak.
the next day
Today's breakfast is steamed buns with chopped green onion. The steamed buns are stuffed with chopped green onions and have a salty taste. They are much more delicious than steamed buns with flavor. The statistics came out yesterday, and 500 people had made reservations. Each person got two steamed buns for the same price. So Aunt Fan, Aunt Hong, Jia Kun Zhang, Niu Niu and others started cooking after dinner, and did not rest until 2:30am (9:30). At the beginning of today's Yin time (three o'clock), we will start steaming steamed buns.
When we got home, all five hundred people received two warm steamed buns. After having breakfast, we continue on our way.
