Chapter 269

The next morning, when I got out of Linxian County, I continued to go northward. The more I went northward, the more precipitous the terrain was. The towering mountains were covered with emerald green. The carriage went steadily through the peaks and valleys in the dense forest.

Song Xintong looked at the mountains on both sides and the endless river, "are there any bandits in this mountain?" She thought it was best to rob this kind of place. It was frightening to look at it. Moreover, in case of bad weather such as rain, the rocks and soil on the steep slopes on both sides would surely roll down. She was afraid to think about it.

"There used to be, but later the government paid off the bandits in the mountain. Now it's safe." Lu Yun looked at the motorcade not far ahead for a night. "Besides, there are escort cars in front. It's safe for us to follow them."

"Are they friends with the gangsters on the road?" Song Xintong asked curiously.

"It should be." Lu Yunkai said faintly: "but you don't have to worry. I went two or three times from this official road last year. I didn't meet any bandits."

"Well, the world is peaceful now, and no one should do such a thing." Song Xintong looked behind. Daya just followed. There were several carriages in the back. They all started together in Linxian County in the morning. Everyone wanted to go together and take care of each other.

"It's already noon. There's a slightly flat forest ahead. Let's have lunch first." Lu Yunkai has been here before and probably remembers the road ahead.

"Well." Song Xintong also felt hungry, "early in the morning, Lin County bought fresh pork and cooked it for lunch."

"Good." Lu Yunkai takes down the carriage, ties the horse to Linzi Road, and lets the horse eat grass freely. The twins wake up and feed the horse with green bean grass.

Daya went to fetch water from the stream in the woods and picked up some dry wood by the way. There was a little dry firewood on the roof of their carriage, which was covered by tarpaulin. The main purpose was to prevent rain on the way, and to sleep in places such as dilapidated temples, so as not to find dry firewood.

It's midday, and the sun is burning. The horses are tired from the sun and they don't want to walk. So the chariots and horses of the escort agency are here to have a rest. They can't rest for a long time. They all calculate the time. They have to get to their foothold before dark. After all, they all carry goods and money. If they really want to have a rest in the forest, It's not good to meet a bandit who doesn't have eyes.

Daya soon came back with water and firewood. Song Xintong set the pot on fire. First, he burned a pot of boiling water. I have drunk all the boiled water from the inn in the morning. It's hotter in the afternoon. I have to prepare more water.

Next to the escort escort must be dry food asked: "do you want to cook noodles?"

"No, I'm thirsty. I'll boil the water and drink it in the car later." Song Xintong said.

"Oh." The escort nodded and said nothing more. Seeing that they were pregnant women, he knew that they could not drink cold water like them, but had to drink boiled water.

When song Xintong boiled the water, Daya put the pot with boiling water on the other side, and then washed another spare pot and put it on.

When it was less hot, song Xintong poured some lard in the bottle, and then began to put the prepared seasonings, and poured in the chili sauce which had been prepared early, and added boiling water. The pot was full of red oil, and the spicy smell suddenly floated around.

The escorts who chew dry food and drink cold water can't help but drool when they smell it. Although they opened meat in Lin County yesterday, they still smell like they want to eat it.

Song Xintong brought out the pork that had been cut. After smelling it, it was very fresh in the morning, so it didn't smell now. He poured all the chopsticks into the cooked seasoning. When it was almost finished, he threw all the vegetables and mushrooms that Daya had just washed in. After a few minutes, they were out of the pot.

"It's ready to eat." Song Xintong shouts. Lu Yunkai gives the steamed bread he bought in the morning to several people. Each of them takes a steamed bread and eats the stewed vegetables in the pot.

"Delicious, delicious." The twins were eating steamed bread, "sister, we haven't eaten stewed vegetables for a long time."

"Sister, if only there were fat intestines."

Song Xintong said: "it's not easy to wash. Just make do with it. Don't be choosy."

"Sister, I eat all of them. I don't have a choice." Xiaobao's two cheeks are bulging, "eat well..."

Everything tastes good when you are hungry.

"You've made it so delicious." The people on the following carriages also came over, "we're all drooling when we smell it when we eat dry food."

"That's it. It's so fragrant."

"You can really enjoy it. It's better than living at home."

The escort also asked, "what do you put in the red one? It's very fragrant after it's released. "

How fragrant is chili sauce? But is it because they eat dry food that they are so tasty? Song Xintong said with a smile: "it's common Cornus sauce."

"Can Cornus sauce make something so fragrant?" Some people don't believe it.

"Just a little more seasoning. More oil, more seasoning." Song Xintong emphasized these two points.

"Oh, let's go back and try."

"Can I exchange dried meat for a small bowl with you? I can't stand the smell. My mouth is watering. " A shopkeeper dressed up in the back of the cart handed over about four of the dried pork.

"Isn't this jerky better than this hodgepodge?" Song Xintong asked with a smile.

"It's OK to chew dried meat, but it doesn't smell so good and it doesn't take much energy." The shopkeeper handed over the bowl, "give me a bowl, more soup. I'll take it back and try it for them."

Daya scooped a bowl for him, and a nearby escort couldn't help saying, "if I don't have anything on me, or I will change with you?"

As soon as the words were heard, the head of the escort glared at him. He shut up and went to the escort cart.

Lu Yunkai glanced at the contents of the escort cart and said nothing.

Song Xintong soon had enough to eat. He took his own ceramic cup with ears, which was made by knocking the door, and drank warm water. He stood up and walked around, eating by the way.

Lu Yunkai put the boiled water into two kettles, and then put it into a special box in the carriage. If he put it in the box, he would not worry that the kettle would be shaken and watered.

While they were still cleaning up, the escorts started to walk, and the carriage behind them quickly overtook them and continued to follow them.

The shopkeeper who ordered their stew also said hello to several people: "go, you also hurry to keep up."

After they left, there were only five of them, song Xintong.

It's time for Daya to clean up the pot and pack up the things. Lu Yunkai then set up his carriage and slowly went on. There was no way to catch up with him. He hummed a tune and talked about the intimacy between husband and wife all the way. He was very happy all the way.
