As soon as they said they were leaving, everyone was busy filling and storing water.
As long as it is a container that can hold water, fill it and take it away.
There is an endless stream of people fetching water by the creek.
The seven newly burned piles of charcoal were quite successful. Yan Laoer and the Qi brothers installed the charcoal and then packed up their belongings.
There was nothing to do in the Yan family. Yan Laoer had already filled the house with all the survivable utensils, and even the three treasures drank to their full stomachs.
Don't mention setting off early tomorrow morning, even if you walk now, you can still move with your feet.
He took the initiative to take over the job of steaming the steamed buns, leaving the three aunts to go about their business, kneading the dough and steaming the steamed buns tirelessly.
Those who finished cleaning up first gradually joined in to help.
Everyone is busy from dawn to dusk.
The steamer never stopped steaming.
It wasn't until everyone had enough food and water that they seemed to feel relieved and fell asleep with a lot of sleepiness.
…
In the early morning of the next day, a group of people continued on their way under the rising sun.
The road up the mountain is difficult, and the road down the mountain is also difficult.
The animals go in front, and people have to drag them behind to prevent them from going too fast and causing the car to slide down.
A lot of water sloshes out from each house, which is very distressing for everyone.
There is nothing you can do to save as much as you can.
When they finally came down from the mountain, everyone let out a long breath.
After walking for another three days, they walked out of the mountain and saw the road ahead.
There is a long and narrow valley between the two peaks.
There are steep peaks on both sides, but fortunately the valley road is very wide, so it is no problem for several cars to pass side by side.
"This road should be passable." Yan Huaiwen looked at the ground. There were obvious traces of people walking and driving.
Since others have walked before them, they can move forward with confidence.
No need to worry about blocked roads.
Yan Laoer quietly checked with Sanbao again, and received a positive answer.
He entered first without hesitation.
…
"Uncle An, Uncle An, someone has entered the canyon again." The boy carrying a long stick showed his white teeth and ran over with a smile.
That joy can be felt from afar.
The man who was called Uncle An stopped making medicine, straightened his waist, stood up slowly, and asked: "How many people have seen clearly?"
"Really, there are several animals pulling the cart. They are men, women, and children. They look similar to us."
He chuckled: "Uncle An, this is a big deal!"
"What a nonsense! What a big deal!" Uncle An was worried and decided to go and take a look himself. If there were so many people, he didn't know if he could calm them down and make them obedient.
"Can we cross our mountains in vain? They pulled a handful of grass, broke off a tree, and ate a meal of the wild animals in the mountains. We have less to eat and less to use. Shouldn't we ask for some compensation?
Mr. Lu, we are different from those in those mountains, so don’t talk nonsense.”
"Hey! I know, I'm just happy." He tugged on the straw rope on his head and handed over the stick standing on the side with a discerning eye.
Uncle An took it, thought for a moment and said, "Go and call someone. Call them all. Let's take a look together."
"Alas!" he responded, running like a gust of wind, his steps light, just like a deer jumping in the forest.
…
After entering the valley, Yan Huaiwen felt uneasy all the time.
"Uncle, uncle?" Yan Yu had just finished memorizing the assigned homework, but the uncle didn't respond for a long time and was distracted?
Yan Huaiwen looked at her and the lynx squatting aside.
He waved his hands and said, "That's it for today."
Yan Yu cheered inwardly, without showing any trace on her face, and jumped out of the car with Maomao in her arms.
This cat played one last show before they left.
When they left, they screamed in agony and turned back to the forest three times a step at a time.
Just when everyone thought the matter was over, when they reached the foot of the mountain, they were caught up by the bobcat, and then they stayed at Yan's house and never left.
Are you going to follow them?!
The people in the village started discussing for a while, why did the Yan family save this cat because of their kindness? This cat is grateful. This is acknowledging its owner, blah blah blah...
"Mom, what do you think happened to uncle?" Yan Yu found Li Xuemei who was walking behind him.
Li Xuemei is now walking and stopping, taking a break in the car.
Her appetite has not been very good these past two days, so she needs to exercise more to be able to eat.
"The road is getting narrower as we go, are you worried that the cars in front of you won't be able to pass?" Li Xuemei guessed.
"It shouldn't be. My uncle told me before entering the valley that there are people walking on this road." Yan Yu rubbed the cat's head: "How about letting the cat go up and explore the road?"
Li Xuemei glared at her: "How can your cat be so good? It has only been at our house for a few days and it has already been raised well. Can it still explore the road?"
Yan Yu pursed her lips and smiled: "Then why don't we all stop and have a rest, and let dad ride Sambo to the front to have a look."
"You little guy, don't worry about it. Your uncle and your father are here, so just keep it in your belly."
"Mom, look around you. The dangerous peaks on both sides are difficult to climb. Generally, it is easiest for people to ambush you on such terrain and make dumplings." She said plausibly: "I am also taking precautions, which is what I am saying."
"Then you tell your uncle and let him listen to your mature words." Li Xuemei said.
Yan Yu made a sad face: "Mom, what are you saying? You just said that I was seven years old and made me make a joke in front of my uncle."
Yan Yu told her uncle that she was seven years old and was an older child. She wanted to gain more time to be independent. The uncle retorted on the spot and accurately reported her date of birth. After careful calculation...she was only five years old.
Eight months…
I don’t know how the people in the village calculated that she was two years old!
"Fortunately you are only five years old, otherwise I would be really worried. If you were seven years old, you would be too short." Li Xuemei said happily.
"Oh! If only I were older, look at the half-grown kids in the village, running around as they please, and no one cares about them." Yan Yu looked at the group of energetic children with envy.
Li Xuemei was tired from walking, so she walked quickly and steadily jumped into the car.
She is already very proficient in this set of movements, and it is very easy to do it.
Yan Yu didn't want to go back and sit, so she went to find her friend.
At present, the children in the village are roughly divided into two groups.
Except for those under the age of three who are not good at running and jumping, the boys who are nine or ten years old think that they are half adults and love to run behind Ertie, the grandson of the head of Luo Village. Ertie is very courageous and often
He was the leader of this group of children who was admired for his amazing actions.
Yan Yu was in another group. The eldest son of Cui Langzhong's family was the only eldest child. He got into this group of children because he missed his younger brother and became the veritable king of children.
There are not many girls in the village, and as they are a little older, they don’t like to fool around with these two gangs. Yan Yu has a lively temperament, and she dresses like a boy. Gradually, there is a naughty child, and she is called Yan Xiaoer.
.
Judging from her eldest brother Yan Xiangheng, he thinks she is the second youngest of the Yan family.
