Chapter 98: Traveling at Night
As soon as Su Yin left, the Zhang family immediately began to hitch the carriage.
The children who were still sleeping were woken up. Everyone was very good and followed their parents to tidy up their things.
When encountering such a thing before, the Zhang family would still hesitate, but after what happened, they did not dare to delay at all.
The second son and the third son of the Zhang family hitched the cart to the carriage and loaded the pieces of luggage onto the cart.
“With this horse, it will be much easier for us.”
“No.” “
“I’ll drive the carriage later.”
“No, I’ll do it.”
Several sons started fighting.
When Su Yin returned to the camp, the guys had already hitched the carriage.
Madam Xu was a little shy, “Yinyin, I’m not very good at driving.”
“Well, I’ll help you drive later, and you sit next to me and learn how to drive. After you get the hang of it, you can do it yourself.”
“Thank you so much.”
She really didn’t know how to thank her.
Madam Xu doesn’t have many things at home, but now that she has a horse, she can let her mother-in-law sit behind with her daughter, so that they don’t have to walk.
Yang Dashan looked at the two extra horses, and several men discussed who would ride them.
“I would like to ride, but I have never ridden before.” Butcher Yang looked at the horse with envy, but he didn’t dare.
“I can give it a try.”
Yang Dahe was the first to express his stance and got on the horse. He was not used to it at first; the horse was moving, but he soon became able to control it. He tried to push it and gradually got better.
He said happily to the people below: “I can ride pretty well.”
Su Yin admired him and realized that he was the best. Of course, he also needed some talent.
For those who know how to ride a horse, it is actually not difficult. The most challenging part is that riding a horse for a long time can make your thighs and cheeks sore.
When she was at Blue Star, she had systematically learned the art of horseback riding.
However, even though she knows it, she doesn’t dare to show it now. In the future, she will act like a novice and learn slowly.
Cousin-in-law Zhou Youcai successfully rode Su Yin’s horse and took his eldest child with him.
“Whenever we get to a certain town, we should go to the horse market and buy two larger carports. Then we can all ride in the car.”
“No.”
Su Yin started on her way after getting ready.
The Zhang family immediately followed Su Yin. There were many people in the Nanjing group, so they walked at the back.
The three parties marched forward mightily at night, and the light spots of torches were like long fire dragons, wandering on the official road.
That night, they walked from the dark night to the bright sky, to the sun shining on the earth.
Many people were exhausted. They had walked all day and night, not to mention the thrilling battle at night. Everyone was worn out.
Even those on horseback and in carriages were tired.
Yang Dahe almost felt that his legs were not his own. His son was sleeping soundly in his arms, but he did not dare to make any big movements, so as not to wake him up.
Zhou Youcai looked at Yang Dahe, who was walking side by side, and asked, “Uncle-in-law, do you feel any pain?”
“It hurts.” Yang Dahe bared his teeth, but he still had to endure it.
Zhou Youcai was relieved; it wasn’t his problem, it was really hurting.
“I’m in pain too.”
“I’ll be fine once I rest.”
“I don’t know when I’ll rest.”
Yang Dahe looked at the sunshine on the horizon. He should be here soon.
Not only are they thinking about rest, but so are the two teams behind them.
“Dad, why don’t you stop ahead?” The third daughter-in-law couldn’t help but beat her legs after walking a few steps.
Most of the children, unable to walk, were placed in the car and squeezed together with their luggage.
The adults were not treated like that, so they all gritted their teeth and walked away.
“Wait a minute.” Old man Zhang said, “If you are really tired, let the child come down for a walk while you go up to rest.”
The third daughter-in-law’s eyes lit up, “Okay.”
Old man Zhang also said to the other daughters-in-law, “The same goes for you.”
The eldest daughter-in-law said, “I don’t care about father-in-law. If you can still persist, you should let the child rest for a while.”
The second daughter-in-law followed and said: “I am the same, I still let the child rest.
The child’s body is naturally weaker than us. They can’t bear the two days of traveling.”
The eldest and second eldest children spoke, but the third daughter-in-law didn’t dare to have sex with them.
She could only retract her hands and smile awkwardly at Old Man Zhang. “I can still hold on.”
Old man Zhang ignored them.
Now is the time to run for your life. You can’t just rest. If you surrender your life because of rest, you will rest for the rest of your life.
The second child approached the eldest brother and said, “Brother, do you want to go ahead and ask?”
After walking all night, they were tired and hungry.
“You can’t walk anymore?” The Zhang family boss glanced at him coldly.
“Not tired, not tired.”
Nanjing’s team behind them, although the men in the team were tired, their energy was obviously much better than that of the Zhang family.
The men were fine, but the women and children in the team were not so relaxed.
“Young Master, why didn’t Miss Su stop? We have already left Hui’an Mansion, and the people from Hui’an Mansion should not be chasing us.”
Nan Jingzhi rode on a horse, “This is not a suitable place for camping. She should be looking for a safer spot.”
It must be said that Nan Jingzhi understands Su Yin very well, or that the two are similar in some aspects.
Su Yin looked at the canyon in front of her. It towered into the clouds. Located on the east side, there was a hilltop that was higher than other peaks and looked like a palm.
She had seen this terrain on the map. After passing this valley, she would enter a basin where there should be a lake.
After bypassing the lake, they would walk another fifty miles and enter Anping County, a county on the edge of Hui’an Prefecture.
The basin is open and blocked by the valley in front, making it a suitable place to camp on the back side.
Madam Xu had already taken the reins from Su Yin. Although she was not yet proficient, she could barely get started.
“Yinyin, when are you going to take a break?”
Everyone around them pricked up their ears.
Su Yin also knew that they were all tired. In fact, she was tired too. Even though she was riding in a carriage and not using her legs, it was still very exhausting.
This official road was full of potholes and rocks, and the carriage rolled over it, causing her butt to hurt.
“If there is an open place ahead, rest there. If not, find a relatively sheltered place to rest.”
After everyone got the news, they immediately cheered up.
A quarter of an hour later, the team passed through the valley, and suddenly a small basin appeared in front of them.
There was a large green grassland in the middle, which was completely different from the surrounding bare cliffs.
“Wow, the grass on that meadow is so tender. It’s a blessing for these animals.”
“There is such a piece of grass here. Do you think there will be water there?”
Wan Sanye raised his eyelids, glanced ahead, and said lightly, “The grassland you see used to be a lake.”
