Qiao Lan recalled that there were no big rivers around the capital. The surrounding terrain was open and flat, with rolling hills all around.
The ecology is pretty good and there is no chance of flooding.
So Qiao Lan thought of disasters like mudslides and landslides.
The slopes along this road are constantly hilly, and the rain keeps falling, which will cause the soil and rock layers to separate.
The original eldest son encountered a landslide!
It's easy to avoid landslides, just find a flat road and walk on it.
Qiao Lan looked at the surrounding mountains and forests. They were all undulating hills. In addition, it was raining and the roads were difficult to walk, so the horses walked very slowly.
People will get sick if they get exposed to the rain, and horses will get sick if they get exposed to the rain.
It's not possible to keep walking in the rain, so I have to find a place to take shelter from the rain.
But where to find it?
Qiao Lan was worried.
In the carriage behind, the young man took out a parchment roll from the grid behind the carriage and spread it out on the table.
The small table was covered with a layer of brocade, and a palm-sized incense burner with reliefs of auspicious animals was placed at the corner of the table. Fine smoke floated out from the burner, dyeing the entire inner wall of the carriage with a layer of fragrance.
The man lowered his head and looked at the map on the parchment scroll. It was densely packed and spread out with the imperial capital as the center, with the names of every village and county written on it.
He stroked the parchment with his slender fingers and looked south from the capital.
The names of the state capitals are arranged like sesame seeds on the scroll, and hundreds of names can be blocked by just covering it with your hand.
Suddenly there were several knocking sounds on the carriage.
"Have you found it?" the young man asked.
"Master, you are so humble and incompetent that you can't find the cave. Maybe it's because we haven't been here for several years and the weeds have grown up and blocked the entrance to the cave."
"Go down."
"It's the master."
The man held the parchment scroll and looked at it for a while, then quickly closed it.
Not being able to find the cave is a troublesome thing.
Qiao Lan was just worried for a while and then thought of some solutions.
"Is the system here?"
[Host! Is there anything I can do for you, host?]
"Didn't you say that the road I have walked will become a map for development? Can you make the map more detailed?" Qiao Lan asked.
Qiao Lan took a look before and found that the exploration path on the map with her as the center was quite large.
It was like ink dripping on a white paper and spreading around. As long as she is the center of the circle, everything around can be seen. Logically speaking, for such an intelligent system, the map should not be so broken! So Qiao Lan asked again
!
[Host is OK! Host please wait a moment, the map is being converted for the host! 】
Qiao Lan waited for a moment, and a neat and clear map was displayed on the panel in front of him.
Horizontal bars, people, trees, roads.
A few simple words, like a kindergarten student's essay, but it also reveals a strange rigor.
Was there such a map in the 1980s?
Qiao Lan remembers that at that time there were paintings and satellites.
…
"Can the map be enlarged? Can it detail the people and terrain? I want to find out if there is any shelter from the rain nearby." Qiao Lan struggled hard.
[It is possible to host a host, but due to the limitations of the technological level of the era, I can only get a simple map for the host. 】
As he spoke, the panel in front of Qiao Lan expanded a bit more, and added a zoom-in and zoom-out symbol.
What used to be a simple tree character has turned into a tree that is densely covered with paper.
This group of people simply made a mark with people, and the carriage drew a square box with the word carriage specially marked on it.
……Although
Very crude.
But it’s also very intuitive.
Qiao Lan can even figure out how many people there are in their line of work through this picture.
Qiao Lan glanced at the entire team, and suddenly moved her eyes to Mr. He's carriage at the back.
She looked at the people surrounding the carriage and counted eight.
I could see eight people wearing bamboo hats, including the people in the car, there were nine people.
What about the other two?
Qiao Lan didn't think much about where the two of them had gone. Maybe they had something else to do.
Qiao Lan carefully picked at the map, trying to find a place where she could take shelter from the rain.
There were trees all over the mountains, and it almost made her blind. How could she find a cave?
"Can you search for a cave nearby? I want to find a place to take shelter from the rain. Your map is so ugly!" Qiao Lan couldn't help but ask, her eyes almost blinded.
[Good host, we are searching the cave for you! 】
Then, several numbers showing caves on the map were marked with emphasis.
Some marks are large, some marks are small.
"Is this the size of a cave?" Qiao Lan looked confused.
[The host is so smart!] The system praised.
Qiao Lan compared them for a while and found the larger cave.
It's not far ahead, about a kilometer away.
Qiao Lan's gaze stayed there for a moment, and suddenly she noticed that there were two more people around.
This map seemed a bit outrageous, but the amazing thing was that she could see the two characters written on it moving constantly.
Walking through the woods, back and forth.
Are these two people from Mr. He’s family?
Qiao Lan was worried about it, but didn't think much about it.
Maybe Mr. He also asked them to go out to find a cave to take shelter from the rain, so he let them go there.
It's just a cave she found using system technology. How to tell her family?
Just when Qiao Lan was confused, she discovered that one of the characters "人" moved to the side of the cave and stayed near the cave for a long time.
It looks like we have found a cave.
Now that Mr. He's person has been found, there is no need for her to rack her brains to lead him there.
As expected, Chen Shu came over without waiting long and told the Duan family about taking shelter from the rain.
Duan Mingjing couldn't make up his mind, so he came over wearing a raincoat and asked Qiao Lan what he meant.
Qiao Lan naturally agreed!
When she was looking at the map, she had seen that the terrain there was fairly flat and open. The presence of caves meant that the rock formations there were relatively solid and would not easily encounter landslides.
Besides, I don’t know when the rain will stop. It’s really not possible to drive on a rainy day.
Chen Shu not only told the Duan family, but also other families in the team.
Many people don't even have carriages and are walking in the rain, so they naturally have no objection to going to caves to take shelter.
On a rainy day, the road was slippery, making it difficult for the carriage to go up the mountain. The Duan family spent a lot of time pulling the carriage into the cave.
After entering the cave, Qiao Lan realized how mysterious this place was.
The entrance is not small, but a little flat. It is hidden in a mountain col, with deep vegetation and rain blocking the view, so it is not easy to find it.
The entrance to the cave is narrow, but once inside it is extremely spacious.
Just a cold wind blew out from the cave, making everyone who was already wet tremble.
Duan Mingjing drove his horse up the mountain and got himself wet.
If the wind blows me again, I will sneeze all over the place.
"Ah sneeze, ah sneeze..."
"Ah sneeze!!!!" Duan Mingjing coughed and his facial features twisted into a ball.
Mrs. Shang was taking her little daughter out of the car and letting her get some air in the cave.
When the little girl saw her father sneezing all over the place, she thought he was playing with her and started giggling! The laughter was extremely loud!
