Chapter 425： why haven't they come back

Chapter 425 Why haven't they come back

I didn't know it was meat until I ate it.

But the only pity is that it is a little less.

If Su Zimo knew that Zhao Qing thought so, he would probably scratch the wall angrily.

He pretended to have a big bowl for them, and he dared to say less.

The two of them ate more than the four of them, so I am ashamed to say that they ate less here.

Shameless!

Cheeky!

"That's fried chicken, duck and goose. If you want to eat it, I'll make it for you someday."

When Zhao Qing asked, Qiao Yi knew what she wanted to say.

It happened that the oil used yesterday was not thrown away.

If you fry something, it can still be used next time.

Anyway, it is placed in the space, so there is no need to worry that the oil will be damaged.

"That's the deal."

Leaving this sentence behind, Zhao Qing turned and got on the carriage.

Zhao Qing and Yan Ning didn't ask about the loss of four people in the team.

What happened yesterday happened outside the inn, and they witnessed it with their own eyes.

Although Qiao Yi didn't say anything, they had some guesses.

Actually, the two of them felt a little sad. Qiao Yi didn't tell them, did he not trust them?

But after thinking about it, they were relieved.

Even if I tell them, what's the use?

They are literati, so they can't help at all.

And if they are asked to give their ideas, it is estimated that the means will be much gentler.

In this way, things will not be so straightforward.

Seeing that everyone got into the carriage, Qiao Yi nodded at Hong Yan, and then got into the carriage.

She slept very late yesterday, and now she is very sleepy and tired.

As for why you are tired, emmm, you all know.

Getting into the carriage, Qiaoyi fell asleep holding Jiu'er in his arms.

The carriage is still driving fast.

Now it is less than twenty days away from the capital.

At this time, they have been driving for more than a month.

Originally, according to such a fast speed, there would not be such a long way.

However, there is a lot of rain in autumn, and it rains every two days.

Xiao Yu is lucky to be able to continue on his way.

But once it rains heavily, there is no way to see.

I can only wait for the rain to stop before continuing on my way.

In this way, the time is greatly extended.

If it rains twice in three days, it may take three months to reach the capital.

"Master Qiao, it's probably going to rain again today."

Hong Yan saw that the sky in the distance was pitch black, and the clouds were thick and terrifying. She knew that the rain would probably not be light, so she rode her horse to the side of Qiao Yi's carriage.

Joy got out of the carriage upon hearing the words, stood on the carriage and looked at the sky above his head.

"It is estimated that the rain will fall at night. Take your people and go first, find a cave that can shelter from the rain, and then prepare more dry firewood, grain and grass. Remember, look for a place with high ground. At noon today everyone Don't eat, all the carriages speed up, and take protective measures before it rains."

Looking at the dark sky in the distance, Joey frowned.

This weather is the most abnormal.

Although she doesn't understand astronomy and geography, she has read modern weather forecasts a lot.

This kind of cloud layer, it is estimated that there will be hail or something.

"Yes."

Hong Yan nodded, leaving two people behind, and then led the rest of the people to leave quickly.

The surrounding areas are all low hills, and the terrain is relatively low-lying, which is not suitable for shelter from rain at all.

The water flows to the low places, and camps should never be set up in this low-lying place.

"My wife, is it going to rain?"

Seeing Qiao Yi get into the carriage, Jiu'er asked worriedly.

"Well, it's going to rain heavily, but it should rain at night."

Joy nodded, but he said so, but he was very worried.

The weather is unpredictable and unpredictable.

So this rain is likely to fall in a while, which is also possible.

"Cotyledons."

Thinking of this, Qiao Yi poked his head out of the car and looked at Su Ziye who was following him.

"Master."

Su Ziye slowed down and approached the carriage.

"How much food do we have? Enough for a few days? How long will it take before the next town?"

"There are still 200 catties of rice and 100 catties of white flour. It will take three days before the next town."

Su Ziye thought for a while before speaking.

Joy frowned upon hearing this.

There were twenty-nine of them in total, and thirty-three including the four coachmen. Most of them are women, and they are especially edible.

This meal requires at least thirty catties.

If it doesn't rain, their rice noodles are enough to eat.

But this weather is impossible without rain.

In this way, there is not enough to eat.

If it rains for two more days, they will starve.

"Ride your horses to hunt some prey, the more the better. If you see that it is going to rain, you should come back quickly. You must remember that, if it is going to rain, come back quickly."

"Um."

Su Ziye knew what Qiaoyi was worried about, so she nodded in response.

Then left with Su Zimo.

Sending Su Ziye and the others out, Qiao Yi still felt a little uneasy.

But there is nothing to do, after all, everyone has been sent out.

Now Joey can only hope that the rain will fall later.

Time flies.

It's afternoon in a flash.

At this moment, the sky was filled with darkness, and the air was terribly stuffy.

Gives people a particularly depressing feeling.

Coupled with the occasional lightning and thunder in the sky, it is even more depressing.

Fortunately, Hong Yan came back at noon and said that there was a big cave ahead, a very big cave.

And the terrain is still high, they can drive the carriage directly.

The only bad thing is that the cave entrance is too big.

The sky has been thundering and lightning, Qiao Yi is worried.

You must know that Su Ziye and the others haven't come back yet.

If it rains suddenly, and the sky is dark again.

What if something goes wrong?

After Qiao Yi and the others arrived at the cave, it was so dark that they could barely see the way.

And it was raining lightly outside.

At this moment, Joey became even more worried.

As the rain got heavier, Joey regretted it in his heart.

If she knew it, she wouldn't let them go.

Hungry as often as you eat, anyway, you won’t die from starvation.

Besides, the rain might not last that long, why is she worrying about the sky?

"My wife, don't worry, they will come back."

Jiu'er knew that Qiao Yi was worried about Su Ziye and the others, so she stepped forward to comfort her.

"You said these two children, I told them to come back quickly when they saw it was going to rain. Look at this time, they still haven't come back. Isn't this worrying."

Qiao Yi anxiously walked around in the cave.

This is not so much a cave as a half-moon concave.

But it is a good place to take shelter from the rain.

Put the carriage slightly outside, and then stay inside, so that the wind will not blow.

Joy saw the rain getting heavier and heavier, and couldn't stay any longer.

Put on the coir raincoat and go out to find someone.

In the end, Jiu'er stopped him.

"My wife, have you ever thought about what to do if you miss them after you go out to find them? Then let us go out to find you?"

Jiu'er didn't tell Qiao Yi not to go, but asked Qiao Yi to think clearly about the seriousness of the matter.

"But they haven't come back yet."

Joy was depressed and didn't know what to do for a while.

She is an emotional person. Although the Su family brothers are servants, she has always regarded them as younger brothers.
