Chapter 287: sudden change in weather
"Drive!" Mu Yangling asked Hei Jun to speed up. She sat under the carriage and looked up at the sky with some worry.
"Girl, do you think it will snow?" Zhang Liu sat on the side and breathed, looking up at the sky with both anticipation and resentment.
"I don't know, I don't know now whether I want it to fall or I hope it doesn't fall." It's almost New Year's Eve, and the first snow since the beginning of winter has seen a trail. They are on the road, so sad.
Qin Butcher kept his promise, and brought two friends over in the morning.
Those two were the butchers who monopolized the supply of mutton in Xicheng together with him. Mu Yangling did not expect that he was looking for these two people.
Because the price had been negotiated, they directly said that one hundred and thirty-nine sheep were finally sold for six hundred and eighty-nine, twenty-four, and sixty-eight cents. Nine taels.
The two sides have received both money and money. Qin Butcher and the others had just driven away the sheep, and Mu Yangling put the things on the carriage and left. Even lunch was eaten in the carriage.
He didn't even tell the landlord, he just said that he had something to do with going to the city. Now all the sheep have been sold, so all the people are going to the city.
Because the landlord came late, he didn't see Xiuhong and the others packing up, and he didn't see Mu Yangling putting things on the carriage. He didn't even go to the house to check, so he didn't know that Mu Yangling and the others had left.
Get on the carriage, Hei Jun can be said to be running forward happily, and he has been walking slowly behind the sheep in the past few days, but he has suffocated it.
Mu Yangling was also very happy, and felt that at this speed, it would not be a problem to get to Sanquan County before dark, and they could live in the county town, and their safety was much more guaranteed.
But the sky didn't go with people's wishes, and it took less than three quarters of an hour to walk. The sky was getting colder and the wind was getting stronger and stronger, and there were rare dark clouds in the sky. After half an hour, the dark clouds developed to cover The scale of the sky.
If Mu Yangling hadn't determined that it was only two o'clock in the afternoon at most, she would have believed it at six o'clock now.
When the weather was getting colder and colder and the wind was blowing on his face like ice **** on his face, Mu Yangling knew that they would not be able to reach Sanquan County today, not to mention people, even Hei Jun couldn't stand the weather.
Mu Yangling asked Zhang Wu, "Do you know where there is a village nearby? We have to find a village to settle down, and we will see the situation tomorrow."
Zhang Wu stared blankly at the road outside, tried to recall the village he had heard of, and finally said, "Girl, how long will it take us to get to Sanquan County?"
"At this speed, it should be able to arrive in an hour." But at this cooling speed, Hei Jun will also be frostbitten after an hour. It is still small, and it is a bit reluctant to pull people in a car, not to mention in this climate condition. .
And Bowen and Xiuhong in the car couldn't stand it either.
"Girl, I remember walking from the outside village to this side for about two hours. There is a big tree village. The daughter-in-law's natal family in the outside village is there."
Hei Jun walked fast. It took them a day to walk from Sanquan County to Xingyuan House, but it only took two hours to get on the carriage.
Mu Yangling calculated in his heart, and felt that if he walked forward two or three quarters of an hour, he should be able to reach the place Zhang Wu said.
Zhang Wu pushed Zhang Liu into the car, and sat on the cab with wide-eyed eyes, "The reason why Dashu Village is called Dashu Village is because there is a big tree at the head of the village. It's very big. That kind of big."
So Zhang Wu looked at the trees on both sides, Mu Yangling said helplessly: "We walked all the way from here that day, but we didn't see any big trees, which means that the village is not next to the road." She recalled carefully. After a while, he said: "The road from Sanquan County to Xingyuan House has five forks along the way, one of which is relatively large and should lead to the Chuangui area, and the other four are relatively small. We have passed one just now. The footsteps you mentioned are the two most likely in the middle."
Fortunately, those two were on both sides of the road, so Mu Yangling asked, "Did the people in your village say whether the village is on the right or the left?"
"The right side, the right side." Zhang Wu was still thinking about how many forks they had on the road. Hearing what Mu Yangling said, he suddenly became enlightened.
Mu Yangling's eyes flashed, "That's not far, just ahead."
How do you know? Zhang Wu's words slipped around on the tip of his tongue and swallowed.
Sure enough, in less than a quarter of an hour, they saw a small fork in the road curving down, and Mu Yangling let Hei Jun go over without thinking.
Zhang Wu opened his mouth, but still couldn't help asking: "Girl, what if I go wrong?"
"If you're talking about the right footsteps and directions, then there's nothing wrong." She was trained anyway, and she was always vigilant on the way here. Not to mention how many forks on the road, it was the distance between forks and forks. She can count as inseparable.
If you can't do this, your previous life's reconnaissance training will be in vain.
Zhang Wu was in a state of anxiety, and a big tree came into view. It was really big. At least Zhang Wu had never seen a tree bigger than this in his life.
The land extended by the branches occupies a full two or three acres, and a branch on the top can lie on it and sleep.
Mu Yangling also felt that the tree should be very old, a branch can lie down on an adult, and it is guaranteed that the hand will not slip off when placed on the side.
Xiuhong and Bowen also stuck their heads out of the car and asked, "How old is this tree?"
"I don't know, but there are always four or five hundred years, right?"
"It should be more than four or five hundred years. Even if the banyan branches are big, they will not grow so big in four or five hundred years."
A gust of cold wind blew, Mu Yangling shrank his neck, no longer had time to look at the tree, and went directly to the village.
Mu Yangling and the others were received by the village chief.
Their reason is that the five brothers and sisters were going to visit relatives in Xingzhou, but when they got here, the weather suddenly changed and they had to find a place to rest.
Zhang Wu worriedly said to the village chief: "I originally wanted to rush to Sanquan County, but who knew that the weather would become so fast, and in another hour, we are afraid that it will freeze into ice cubes, even when we arrive in Sanquan County. Useless."
The village chief looked at Xiuhong and Bowen who were standing with their necks shrunk, nodded and said, "You still have children, you must suffer more."
Zhang Wu responded again and again, "That's how I came to the village. I want to stay for one night, and I will leave tomorrow when the sun comes out."
The village chief is naturally no problem. In this era, people are very happy to help others, so he firmly declined the copper plate given by Zhang Wu.
Few outsiders come to their village, and naturally there is no business such as renting houses. They all live in when they come, and the host will warmly serve them with the best meals.
Now it's Mu Yangling's turn to be embarrassed.
