Chapter 381 The hero's stumbling block on the road to escape from the famine 32
"Mom and Dad! We also found some food and furs in other yards, as well as a calf! It should have been born before its mother died. It's very weak and can't even stand up."
Gu Mingxing ran back and said to Gu Lanzhang and Xiao Yun.
"Where is it? Let's go and take a look."
Upon hearing this, the two men drove the loaded donkey cart out of the yard. Gu Lanzhang also tied the wheelbarrow to the side of the cart, just like a sidecar, and some things could be placed on it.
"In the house on the left, we carried all the food over there, and my second brother is giving water to the calf."
Gu Mingxing said as he led the way.
"Okay, let's go and take a look."
It was just two houses away, so they arrived quickly. The yard of the house was also very large, so they drove the car straight in, and the black goat was tied behind the car and followed.
There was no shortage of meat to eat on the road, so I never attacked the sheep. After nearly a month, we had developed a close relationship with them.
They planned to continue raising the sheep, and when they settled down, they would buy a ewe and raise them together. If the sheep gave birth to some lambs, they would also be a family inheritance.
Although there are not many residents in this village, every yard is surrounded by stones. Unlike the villages they encountered before, which were all surrounded by fences or low earthen walls. This should be because there are wolves here.
In fact, if they really come, we can’t stop them at all, just like this time, weren’t they all wiped out by the wolves?
……
Several children were in the yard. Except for Gu Huaiyi, who was holding the calf's head and feeding it water, everyone else was watching. There were five sacks and two large bundles of fur piled on the side, which should have been found from these families.
Those leathers are all sheepskin, and they are all well processed. They look soft and can be used to make clothes or shoes, or they can be sewn together and laid on the bed as mattresses. Sheepskin mattresses are very warm.
Xiao Yun ignored the food. Gu Lanzhang would take his sons to deal with it. She went forward to look at the calf. It was indeed very thin and weak. It was obviously only a few days old. The fur on its body had not been cleaned and was dry and stuck to its body. Its legs were so weak that it could not stand up at all.
She took the cow from Gu Huaiyi, asked Gu Mingyue to scoop some water from the jar with a gourd ladle, secretly added some spiritual water, and slowly fed it into its mouth.
Fortunately, it knows how to lick it and drink, but it cannot eat grass yet, so drinking water alone is definitely not enough.
There are quite a lot of milk and milk powder in the space, even freshly squeezed ones, but there is no way to take them out.
After thinking about it, I decided to feed it rice porridge for two days. It should be able to survive if it adds spiritual water.
After it finished drinking the water, she asked Mingyue to fetch some water and used a cloth dipped in the water to clean the calf and remove the dried mucus on its body.
The calf now feels much more refreshed, perhaps because it drank the spiritual water. It is much more energetic than before and can even moo.
After Gu Lanzhang and the others loaded the grain, they were asked to carry the calf onto the cart. They also laid a piece of sheepskin on the calf and deliberately left a gap when placing the grain so that the calf would not fall out and would feel safe.
Before leaving, she looked at the things in the yard again and saw a few bamboo poles on the side. She walked over, took them and put them directly on the car.
She planned to build a shed on the frame when she took another break and cover it with tarpaulin so that no one could see what was on the car.
Although it can be covered with oilcloth now, the shape of the sack makes it obvious that it is food.
They didn't have much other stuff left. Although the wild boar meat weighed several hundred kilograms, it shrunk to only a quarter after being made into jerky. Adding the food they ate on the road, there were only about 40 to 50 kilograms left, which could be put into a basket.
The rest of the pots, pans, and utensils were put into a backpack, so the donkey could still pull it.
When they returned to the village entrance, the Li family members had just arrived. Their car was also bulging, which seemed to indicate that they had gained a lot.
They must have heard what Xiao Yun said before, and they didn't go into the house to search, so all they found were food and furs.
They also got two carts to replace the ones they had originally. The carts they had originally had were the narrowest type for the convenience of climbing mountains, and they were used to haul fewer things. The carts here are generally wider, after all, they are used to carry fodder and cattle and sheep.
There were only about ten households here, and Xiao Yun and his team found four of them. Although the remaining households had more food than them, they did not have much more food, just two more sacks.
In fact, if they had time, they could also harvest the millet in the fields outside, but they didn't dare to stay for long, as they had to find the next place to stay before dark.
It's not much safer here than in the mountains. Outside the village is a vast grassland. If you encounter a wolf, there is nowhere to hide.
So after the reunion, the group set out on their journey again, this time heading north. If they went further west, they would enter the grassland.
There are some villages like this one, most of which are small villages that rely on animal husbandry for their livelihood.
There are some towns if you go south, but the further you go the closer you get to the border, and the less safe it becomes.
There are more towns as you go north, and the county town is also in the north.
Xiao Yun learned from Xiao Lin that the wolves were all in the grassland in the west. About ten miles to the north there was a town called Yangji Town, which gradually evolved from an original market.
The reason why it was called Yangji was because the initiator of the market was named Yang, and now he is the largest merchant here. So the two heads of the family discussed and decided to spend the night in Yangji Town.
Everyone headed north, because only Xiao Yun knew that Yangji Town was not far ahead, so everyone quickened their pace along the way.
In this way, the outline of Yangji Town was seen before the sun set.
However, there were guards at the entrance of the town watching them from a distance. They were not checking passers-by, but collecting fees from the town.
Only then did they feel at ease to line up. They saw that the people in front of them, as long as they were not from the town, had a car and goods and paid ten cents, those with goods but no car or a car but no goods paid five cents, and those with neither goods nor car paid two cents.
Li Zhen's carriage was in front. He identified himself as a traveler passing through and wanted to stay overnight in the town. The guard took a look and collected five cents.
The same thing happened to Xiao Yun and his companions. Once they entered the town, they found the streets quite busy with all kinds of shops.
They first found an inn to settle down and drove the ox cart to the backyard. Xiao Yun first went to the kitchen to get some rice soup and brought it back to the room to feed the calf.
Gu Lanzhang took Gu Huaiyi out to inquire about the news and buy some cloth and needles and thread. The weather was getting colder, so they had to make clothes for autumn and winter.
