Child Bride’s Peaches and Plums Are All Over the World

Chapter 62: Rain

The group did not encounter a village, nor an inn, so they could only camp. Fortunately, Li Baolu was well prepared. The weather was hot at this time, and it was not cold at night, so it was very good for camping.

Seeing that the guards in front had stopped to camp, Li Baolu also found a place not far from them to stop, and found an empty grass to clear out a place.

Gu Jingyun went to say hello to the guards.

They have to walk behind others’ ass, so naturally they have to explain it to the other party in order to avoid misunderstanding.

Li Baolu looked at Gu Jingyun out of the corner of her eye while cleaning up the place where she was going to camp at night. She didn’t look back until he returned to her after talking with the guard.

Li Baolu’s movements were not obscure. The guards who had been looking at them naturally noticed. As soon as they left, the two guards went to the carriage in front of them to answer.

The bodyguard who received Gu Jingyun said: “They are going to Hangzhou, which is not the same as us. I don’t think he has to follow us.”

Zheng Yi looked at the other person, who was the **** who had been observing Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu, and he said, “That little boy walks lightly, but he stomps on the leaves. He should have some martial arts skills, but he is not good at it, but the little girl has some skills. Strange, I saw her walking heavily, not like a martial artist, but she never took her eyes off the young master. It seemed that she should be protecting the young master. Young master, these two are too young. Dare to go far at a young age, either ignorant or someone with great ability, we have to guard against it.”

Zheng Yi lowered his head and thought for a moment, then nodded and said: “You are right, we have to guard against it, but the official roads to Hangzhou and the capital overlap, at least we have to walk the same way for the next three days, and we can’t drive them away. Walk.”

“We can speed up,” said the guard who observed them: “I paid attention to them all the way, and found that the two teenagers were not in a hurry. The little girl just brought out a lot of things. Obviously they did not intend to endure hardship. That being the case, We might as well speed up the trip, they will definitely not catch up to avoid running around.”

This is indeed a good way to dump people.

Zheng Yi thought for a while, then nodded and said, “Have people make rice in the pot, and make the dry food for tomorrow morning. We will set off tomorrow morning to get rid of people as soon as possible.”

The value of the darts they brought to the capital this time was too high to tolerate any negligence.

Li Baolu picked up a few stones from nearby and built two stoves, took out two pots from the luggage and put them on them, and took out two water bags to wash the rice.

The weather is hot, she plans to cook porridge to eat.

Gu Jingyun helped pick up a lot of firewood from the neighborhood. After making sure that it was enough to burn at night, he took out a handful of vegetables from the car. He asked Li Baolu, “What are you going to do at night?”

“Green vegetable porridge?”

Gu Jingyun looked at her quietly.

“Okay, let’s do it separately, but there are only eggs in the car besides vegetables. Maybe I can look for pheasants or hares nearby.”

“Give me the water bag, and I’ll fill it up when I go to wash the vegetables.” Gu Jingyun said lightly: “Also, I don’t want to eat messy stew.”

Li Baolu’s cooking skills are not bad, but not much better. The most important thing is that she is always reluctant to cook with her heart. She likes to mix and stew various ingredients, forcing Gu Jingyun to learn a good cooking skill.

He took the water bag and saw that Li Baolu deserved to be happy, he hesitated and said, “Forget it, let’s do it when I come back.”

“it is good.”

Gu Jingyun: “… Next time, remember not to deserve it so quickly, or I will suspect that you deliberately stewed things in order not to cook.”

Li Baolu tried to impress him with her sincere eyes, “Do you think I would be that kind of person?”

However, Gu Jingyun didn’t even look at her, and left with a cold snort.

The people at the **** bureau had already taken things to fetch water, so Gu Jingyun didn’t have to look for the water source at all, he just followed them into the woods.

A mountain stream rushes down from the mountain. The stream is clear and gurgling to the ground. There are several large pits scattered on the ground. The clear stream fills the pits and then overflows, nourishing the nearby aquatic plants. After a piece was filled, it slowly overflowed along a hole and flowed to a farther place.

There is a lot of water in the Guangdong and Guangxi regions, especially in the rainy May now. As long as it rains, the rainwater gathered on the mountains will wash down, forming mountain streams, and sometimes small waterfalls can be formed when the rain is heavy.

Gu Jingyun stood by the stream and looked up along the mountain stream. He saw that the stream in the middle of the mountain was splashing straight down from time to time because it hit the stone.

He couldn’t help but smile, let out a sigh of relief in his chest, and found a place where no one was there to fetch water.

The guards saw Gu Jingyun, nodded at him, and carried the water back to the convoy.

Gu Jingyun looked at the wooden barrels they were carrying thoughtfully. It seemed that they were not prepared enough. Although they brought two large water bags, they were still not enough for fetching water.

Next time they are in town, they can buy a wooden bucket for backup, maybe they can take a hot bath on the road.

When Gu Jingyun returned with two water bladders, Li Baolu had already set up the tent where they were going to sleep at night, and the red dates (their means of transportation, mules) were happily grazing on the grass and talking.

Gu Jingyun gave Li Baolu the water bag and took out two eggs and washed greens from the luggage to cook.

Li Baolu diligently set fire for him, but Gu Jingyun impatiently drove him away, “I can come by myself, you better take care of the red dates, it won’t be full tonight, and the horror will not be obedient and hurry tomorrow.”

Li Baolu took a sickle and worked tirelessly to mow the red dates.

Not far away, the **** who paid attention to them was stunned. This is…a weird bag for going out.

Shouldn’t the mule’s fodder be prepared at the beginning, and it has to be cut now!

That young man even brought green vegetables and eggs to cook the vegetables. Is this a picnic?

Who doesn’t bring dry food when they go out, and they can eat it after boiling water on the road, but they are so particular about freshly cooked porridge and vegetables?

These two have no experience of going out.

The security alert level has dropped again. Despite this, Zheng Yi still does not dare to slack off. As soon as the fifth watch arrives, he wakes up and starts to hurry.

Li Baolu was lying with Gu Jingyun and slept soundly at the time. When she heard the movement, she got up and pulled out the tent to look outside. Seeing that they were packing up and leaving, she looked up at the stars in the sky.

But it was really inaccurate based on the weather, so she could only open the tent a little further, and looked at the small hourglass in the corner by the firelight. When she saw the scale clearly, she couldn’t help crying. It was only three o’clock in the morning. What’s going to happen so early?

Li Baolu pulled up the tent and lay down and continued to sleep.

Gu Jingyun snored and was sound asleep, obviously the movement outside did not wake him up.

The people in the **** bureau moved lightly and quickly, and they started to leave in less than a quarter of an hour.

Zheng Yi lifted the curtain of the car and glanced at the silent tent, with a smile on his face, it seemed that the two were not really here for them.

A **** stepped forward and said in a low voice, “Master, the little girl just opened the tent and took a look. Now that she’s lying back, she probably won’t chase after us again.”

Zheng Yi nodded with satisfaction, “Let’s go, get to the capital early and rest assured.”

As soon as the guards left, Li Baolu didn’t dare to fall asleep. Although she closed her eyes, her ears kept paying attention to the movement outside, so Gu Jingyun woke up as soon as she got up.

Gu Jingyun took Li Baolu’s hand away carefully, and when he lowered his head, he met her clear eyes, and there was no trace of sleepiness in them.

Gu Jingyun threw her hand away unceremoniously, “Why don’t you get up now that you are awake?”

“I didn’t wake up, I just didn’t sleep well.” Li Baolu got up, twisted her neck, and said, “I don’t feel comfortable sleeping on the ground. Next time we can try sleeping in the car.”

Gu Jingyun didn’t answer, he pulled open the tent and got out. As soon as he looked up, he saw the empty camp on the opposite side.

“Let’s go, as soon as people arrive at the 5th watch, they leave. It’s been an hour since they left. They are walking, do they want to catch up?”

Gu Jingyun said thoughtfully: “No, we’ll go our own way, we don’t need to rush.”

Li Baolu yawned, then climbed out and started to clean up the tent.

Gu Jingyun played a set of five animals on the spot, and then pointed to the pot and said, “I want to eat egg pancakes this morning.”

This is not difficult for Li Baolu. She raised the water bag and said, “I’ll fetch some water and come back to wash you. If you are angry, I’ll do it for you when I come back.” After speaking, she jumped up and disappeared in front of Gu Jingyun’s eyes.

Gu Jingyun slowly picked up some hay, and then opened the flint and put it on. Li Baolu came back with two water bladders.

After the couple washed their faces, they freed up a water bag. Li Baolu poured the boiling water that had been boiled and cooled last night into the water bag, and then used the pan to make pancakes.

This is what the escorts have always been unable to understand. Hurry up, hurry up, and one word hurry up emphasizes the speed. Who would toss all this on the road?

At this time, the weather is hot, and it is difficult to put dry food, but the dried cakes, steamed buns and dried meat can be kept for a long time. As long as they are soaked in boiling water, they can be eaten, and the taste is still within the acceptable range.

As for water, not to mention going out, but at home, there are very few people who seriously boil the water and drink it. Except for making tea, who doesn’t drink it with a scoop?

Like Li Baolu, who boiled the water one night in advance, then let it cool and put it in the water bag, it was purely enough to eat.

How much time did it take to do all this, and how much time wasted?

Anyway, when Li Baolu and Gu Jingyun had eaten and drank enough, and then packed up their things and put them in the car and started their journey, it was only a bright sky, and the dawn had already begun to appear on the horizon, and soon a big red round cake would jump from the top of the mountain. come out…

Li Baolu and Gu Jingyun were not in a hurry. They walked forward leisurely. When they came across a town, they took a break, replenished consumables, and felt the local customs. By the way, they went in for a night when they came across a village. By the way, visit the local clan ancestral hall, listen to the old people in the village talking about ancient times, and talk about farming and mulberry.

The two went to the overnight market in the city. They also listened to strange stories around the old man in the small mountain village. They even lied side by side on the grass and counted the stars and watched the moon.

Of course, Gu Jingyun thought he was looking at the sky and deducing the weather.

In his prediction, they successfully avoided three rains and bought several large watermelons in the car in advance before the poisonous sun scorched people.

Just when Li Baolu thought they could reach Hangzhou smoothly all the way, Gu Jingyun’s prediction failed, and they were sprinkled with rain.

The bean-sized raindrops swept across his face with the gust of wind. Li Baolu half-closed his eyes in discomfort. Gu Jingyun was about to open the car door to come out. Sanliang Huanglian, don’t you go in if you see the suffering, don’t you think I’m not messy enough here?”

Gu Jingyun gritted his teeth and went back to look through the luggage. After a while, he took out a tarpaulin, and hurriedly opened the car door and put it on her.

Li Baolu was soaked all over, but the tarpaulin hanging over her head could block some rain, so she didn’t stop it.

She squinted her eyes and tried to discern the road in the rain, holding the reins firmly, for fear that the mules would run around if they didn’t obey.

There are dense forests on both sides, and now the thunder and lightning are flickering, she dare not walk under the tree, what if she is not killed by the rain, but is struck by lightning?
