Chapter 61 Something is wrong
At night, the bonfire burned brightly, and the firelight illuminated the surroundings. The wood broke under the high temperature burning, making crisp crackling sounds, and the crackling sound echoed in the air.
People sat around the campfire, warming themselves and chatting. There were two groups of people on duty, one walking around to check while the other warmed themselves by the fire, taking turns.
The weather is getting colder and colder, and at night, even talking in the dark is accompanied by smoke and puffs of fog.
The old man and two children who joined in the morning finished their dinner and spread a straw mat on the ground. The two children lay on the straw mat, covered with a torn quilt. The old man sat on the side, listening to everyone chatting and saying a few words from time to time.
Old man: "A Zhuang, you still have someone to keep watch!"
Zhao Zhuang said proudly: "Of course! It's so dangerous to walk outside! We have people on guard day and night!"
The old man said, "Then I feel relieved. It's good to have more people than you!" He raised his hand and wiped his eyes. "If nothing happened in our village, there would be so many people!"
"Uncle Wu, the dead cannot be resurrected. Only when the living live well can the people below rest in peace." Lin Yougui thought of his father-in-law's family who refused to flee with them, and he didn't know whether they were alive or dead. Seeing his wife crying secretly, he was also very sad. His father-in-law's family had always been good to him and his wife.
The old man told everyone his surname was Wu. Everyone in the village called him Wu Laoer, and his two children were named Wu Gouzi and Wu Goudan.
Old Man Wu asked with a puzzled look on his face, “I saw that after a while, the guards were different.”
Zhao Zhuang: "Uncle Wu, you don't know how smart our scholar is! We have a lot of young and strong people, and we need guards day and night! He divides them into groups, two groups guard for an hour, and then the other two groups take over. Everyone is relaxed and not too tired, and guarding at night does not affect sleep. The people on duty are also energetic, and they will not fall asleep while guarding, and they will not know what happened and are still dreaming."
Zhao Wang grinned and said, "Otherwise, how could he be a scholar?"
"My brother-in-law, Tao Mingyuan, is also a scholar. He works in the government office and receives a salary from the imperial court!" Zhu Ming said proudly.
When Old Man Wu heard this, he was a little shocked, and his eyebrows jumped. "I never thought that I was so lucky. I was protected by everyone and could travel with two scholars!"
Lin Youcai looked at the old man and became alert. He waited until the old man finished his night shift and quietly instructed the two groups of people who were about to take over.
Lin Zisu couldn't sleep because of the pain, and she couldn't stand still and kept moving around.
It’s okay to drive during the day, but listening to people in the car gossiping about other people’s affairs distracts my attention.
At night, all my attention was focused on the wound on my left hand.
Shen Xianglan was so sleepy, and her daughter kept moving around, which annoyed her and made her feel sorry for her. She got up and took out a painkiller, handed it to her with her water cup, and said, "Take it quickly and go to sleep!"
Lin Zisu learned her lesson. Before she stood up, she thought about which hand she would use. She supported her body with her right hand, sat up slowly, and opened her mouth. Shen Xianglan threw the medicine into her mouth and handed her the cup of water.
Lin Zisu took a big gulp of water and swallowed the medicine. "Ah! Those perverts are so perverted! They have no manners at all. We remember to bury our shit, but they just throw the body into the bushes and cover it with grass! Tsk!! Ouch!!! I'm so mad! I curse them to never be able to poop! They will be suffocated to death by shit!!"
Shen Xianglan: . . . .
Lin Zisu: "Mother, mother? Mother! Mother!!"
Shen Xianglan said helplessly: "You drive with one hand for a whole day, aren't you tired..."
Lin Zisu: "I'm tired! Who said I'm not tired? I just can't sleep because my hand hurts! I took the medicine, but why does it still hurt? Is the medicine expired?"
Shen Xianglan: "Not expired..."
Lin Zisu: "How do you know it's not expired? The time here is different from the modern time! Could it be... that it has become invalid in another time and space..."
Shen Xianglan took a deep breath: "Even if it is poison, it takes time for the medicine to take effect! It is not a magic medicine that will not hurt once you take it!!!"
Lin Zisu: “...Oh.”
Fortunately, after the medicine took effect, Lin Zisu fell into a deep sleep.
Early the next morning, Old Man Wu was lying in bed, wrapped tightly in the quilt. The two children climbed out of the quilt and ran away.
Tian Daniu quietly took out the watch from his arms and looked at the time: 5:33, there were more than 20 minutes left before he could take a break.
This is Li Ai's smart bracelet, which she wears occasionally when exercising. She was not surprised that her mechanical watch worked, but she was a little surprised that this bracelet still worked after charging. The bracelet just doesn't have an internet connection, but it doesn't need to be connected to the internet for normal use.
Both the watch and the bracelet are facing the time on the RV display screen and adjusting the time.
When the patrol security team was formed in September, Lin Youcai took out the wristbands and gave them to the team leaders of the groups on duty. He taught them how to read 9-hour time and compare 24 hours with 12 hours in detail.
Tian Daniu put the bracelet into his arms, looked up and saw two small figures walking towards the RV, and immediately shouted, "What are you two doing?"
Old Man Wu woke up instantly, got up and said, "Don't go too far! Daniel, they are going to pee."
Tian Daniu: "Why go over there to pee! Just walk a little further over here and you can pee!"
"It's dark, and the two children are timid. They go to the other side of the road to pee. The road is wide and they don't have to worry about falling. It's my fault, the old man is too sleepy!" Old man Wu stood up with a guilty look on his face and packed up the bedding.
Tian Daniu: "Uncle Wu, there are dogs in the team, and I'm afraid they might bite the children."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Gouzi and Wu Goudan ran over here crying.
"Ahhh! Don't bite me!"
"Ah! Ahh!"
“Dahei! Dahei!! Dahei!!!” Lin Xianpeng rushed over in two steps to stop the dog.
Old Man Wu ran over quickly, "Ouch! Were you bitten?" The two children hid behind Old Man Wu.
Lin Xianpeng grabbed Dahei's fur on the back of his neck. Dahei looked at the three of them fiercely and made warning sounds with his mouth.
"You weren't bitten, were you?" Tian Daniu walked over.
Old Man Wu turned around and looked at the two children. The two children shook their heads, "No, no. I told you two not to run around, but you didn't listen!"
Everyone who was sleeping was startled by the noise!
Early in the morning, amidst the noise, everyone packed up their luggage and continued on their journey.
At noon, the RV, which had not given a prompt screen for a long time, showed the road ahead. There were many people riding horses?
Lin Zisu: "Fuck..."
"What's wrong?" Old Lady Wang, who was weaving straw sandals, looked up at Lin Zisu, "Did you hit your sore spot again?"
"Not good!" Lin Zisu quickly honked the horn.
Shen Xianglan: "What's wrong?!"
Hearing the horn, Lin Youcai blew the whistle and the team slowly stopped.
Lin Youcai lifted the straw mat and knocked on the car window. Lin Zisu quickly lowered the window, stuck her head out and whispered, "Dad, the car just gave a hint. There are a lot of people and horses ahead. Could it be the army?"
While the two were still whispering, the ground shook slightly, and soon the sound of galloping horses was heard ahead.
