The Female Officer Became a Farmer After Getting Reborn

   Chapter 64 64 Difficulty Traveling

   Ruyi and Jixiang rushed to the grove first. They had already unloaded the mule cart and waited there. Seeing Li Yu and the others, they hurried up to help unload the cart and took out the fodder to feed the animals.

  Ruyi said to Zhou Jia, "Master, I remember that there is a ditch over there in the forest. I'll go see if there is still water, and bring some to feed the animals."

   Zhou Jia glanced over there and thought that there should be no water, and waved his hand a little reluctantly, "Go! Lucky you and Ruyi go together."

"Yes." After hearing that, Zhao Cai carried the bucket and walked towards the ditch together with Ruyi. The two were dumbfounded when they reached the ditch. It's rotten fish and dead shrimp.

Aunt He took out a small red clay stove, took a teapot and put some water out of the wooden bucket, and poured it into the pot to boil the noodles. Li Qing, Xiao An, Chuan Zhou, and Chuan Guo held a bundle of twigs they picked up. , helped Aunt He light the fire.

  The water boiled, Li Yu took out the noodles and put them in the pot. Aunt He looked at the noodles in Li Yu's hand and smiled cheerfully to Zhou Jia: "Young madam is ingenious, you will be blessed in the future, Master."

   Zhou Jia smiled proudly, "If she is unlucky, will I choose her, Master?"

   Li Qing retorted loudly after hearing this, "Humph! My sister was deceived by her husband."

   Zhou Jia looked at Li Qing with a grin, "Ah Qing, write ten small letters a day."

   Li Qing looked at Zhou Jia disdainfully, "Sir, you return my sister to me, and I will write twenty small letters a day."

   Zhou Bo looked at the two quarreling with the noodle bowl, and laughed loudly, "Young master, brother-in-law, you dare to provoke me."

   Zhou Jia smiled shyly, "I'm his husband, I'll beat him up if he doesn't obey!"

  Li Yu glanced at the naive two people, and said to Chuanzhou and Chuanguo who were standing far away, "You two haven't come to eat, why are you standing there?"

The brothers Chuanzhou and Chuanguo looked at the noodles in Li Yu's bowl, swallowed their saliva after smelling the aroma, shook their heads and refused, "Sister Xiaoyu, mother said that food is expensive, we can't eat your rations. ."

   Li Yu laughed, "Eat it! I'll tell her when your mother comes." The two children still couldn't resist the temptation of the food, so they ate a bowl of noodles.

   After a while, Zhaocai and Ruyi came back with empty buckets, Zhaocai looked at the empty bucket in frustration, "Master, there is no water in that ditch, the ditch is full of rotten fish and dead shrimp."

   "Forget it, I expected it long ago, I'm not giving up, you two go eat first!"

   At this time, Li Mei's family finally arrived. Li Mei looked at Li Yu with a heart-pounding expression on her face, "Yu'er, I didn't expect locusts on the way. How can such a small thing fly so far?"

   "Aunt, let it go!"

   Aunt He looked at Li Mei, "My aunt, are you tired? Eat a bowl of noodles first."

   Li Mei sighed at Aunt He, "Alas! I've been looking at the locusts all the way this way, what a heart! I'm really tired and worried."

   Aunt He smiled in relief, "Don't be afraid, there are always people who have no way out, and they will always find a way out."

  Everyone arrived one after another, put down their luggage, sat down on the ground, took out dry food and biscuits and started eating. After a short rest, he dragged his heavy footsteps on the road again, and hurriedly finally arrived at Chongyun Town before dark.

  Walking along the road, I saw that the town was closed and there was not even a single person. Zhou Jia took everyone directly to the foot of the mountain.

  There is a flat ground at the foot of the mountain, and people on the flat ground have already fallen asleep with straw mats and bamboo mats.

The village chief asked the people of Xishan Village to push the carts, trolleys, and mule carts around each other. After cleaning up, everyone felt exhausted, and they lost the energy to eat. They slept with dry food in their hands.

   Li Yu led everyone to set up the tent and asked Zhou Jia to arrange the time for night duty. Zhou Jia shook his head and said, "You can rest for several men like us!"

  Liu Changmin also persuaded Li Yu, "Xiaoyu, you go and rest, Uncle and Jixiang take turns to watch the night."

  Li Yu had no choice but to nod in agreement. He went back into the tent and fell asleep and fell asleep until the end of Yin Shi. Li Yu got out of the tent and said to Ruyi, who was watching the night, "Ruyi, you go and rest."

   "Yes, Miss Li." Ruyi bowed and went back to rest.

  Li Yu walked around and saw Chen Yaohui and a man on duty at the other end, and two people dressed as merchants were walking up the mountain with a bag on their backs.

Li Yu stood there and watched the two of them for a while, but didn't see any unusual movements between them, so he went to check the place where the animals were tied, and returned to the fire to watch the moths and locusts keep going. He threw himself into the fire, and was burned with a crackling sound, and there was a burst of barbecue smell.

  Li Yu stood there quietly, looking up at the stars in the sky, still bright, and an inexplicable melancholy filled his heart.

Zhou Jia came out of the tent and saw Li Yu standing there quietly, looking up at the starry sky, fluttering like an independent world, Zhou Jia hurried forward to hold Li Yu's hand, and asked softly, "Xiaoyu, what's the matter with you? ."

  Li Yu looked back at Zhou Jia's worried eyes, smiled, pointed to the stars and said, "Look, how beautiful this night sky is."

   "I'll watch with you." Zhou Jia took Li Yu's hand and sat down, letting her lean on her shoulders. The two sat there quietly, snuggling together, looking up at the bright starry sky.

As soon as the sky turned white, the villagers got up and began to pack up and salute. They simply ate some biscuits and dry food and started to go on their way. Zhou Jia said to the villagers, "Don't worry, everyone, you must walk on the left, and we will set off. Bar!"

Everyone responded loudly, and then Ruyi took the lead in driving the mule cart away, and Li Yu followed behind. Although the mountain road was rough and wide when they first went up the mountain, everyone climbed up the mountain road. It got narrower and steeper, and the animals stopped moving forward. The people in the car had to get out of the car, one person led the animal and walked in front, and one person pushed the car in the back.

   Li Yu was so powerful that he didn't find it difficult to push the mule cart. Ruyi's cart was loaded with food, but the mule cart was stagnant, and the two children, Chuanzhou and Chuanguo, couldn't help.

Zhou Jia followed behind and saw that Ruyi's mule cart was stagnant and was about to go backwards. Zhou Jia firmly pulled the bridle to stabilize the mule, and shouted to Li Yu who was pushing the cart behind: "Xiaoyu, go and help Ruyi. "

   Li Yu rushed forward after hearing this, stopped the retreating mule cart, and pushed the mule cart hard to crawl up the mountain.

  The village chief saw that Li Yu and the others were unable to move forward, and shouted at the villagers behind: "Come on a few people to help push it."

  A dozen or so households who had bought food at Li Yu's house looked up and saw it after hearing it. They all quickly put down the burden on their shoulders and rushed to the front to help Li Yu and the others push the cart forward.

   Walking to the narrowest point, the mountain road is just enough for a mule cart to pass, and there is a bottomless ravine on the right side. The timid villagers walked cautiously close to the cliff on the left, not even having the courage to take a look at the gully.

  We set off at the hour, and walked for more than two hours before we reached the top of the mountain. We rested on a fairly flat place, fed the livestock with fodder and water, and everyone ate some dry food. After a short rest, we started going down the mountain.

Going up the mountain is difficult, and going down is even more difficult. The car behind is too heavy and the animals can’t stop, so the trolley will rush up to press the animals. Zhou Jia asked everyone to tie a rope to the rafter of the car, and pull the rope behind to hold the board. The speed of the car slides down the mountain slowly, and when the sun goes down, everyone finally goes down the mountain.

   At the foot of the mountain, Zhou Jia found that the flat land at the foot of the mountain had been occupied by two groups of people, so he had to lead everyone towards the woods in front.
