Quick Wear Dream Qiqi

Chapter 50: The Ancient Exile Control Group 8

At this time, Meng Yuanyuan was picking firewood alone. After picking up a bundle of firewood, she slowly returned to the crowd.

When she was about to make a fire, she found that she had no tinder.

He looked around and his gaze finally fell on Meng Qiqi.

So, Meng Yuanyuan was a little hesitant, but when she felt the chill, she stood up and walked to Meng Qiqi.

"Third sister! Can I borrow your fire starter?" Meng Yuanyuan looked at Meng Qiqi's flushed face and felt a little inferior in her heart.

Meng Qiqi was thoughtful, and then what she said shocked Meng Yuanyuan a little

"One ounce of silver for a fire starter, no bargaining!"

"Meng Qiqi! You must be crazy about money!" Meng Yuanyuan said and wanted to turn around and leave.

But after thinking about it, he decided to stay and continue to fight with Meng Qiqi.

Meng Qiqi still insists on the principle of no bargaining.

Meng Yuanyuan gritted her teeth, took out a tael of silver from her bosom and threw it to Meng Qiqi, then turned around and left with the tinderbox.

After lighting the fire, Meng Yuanyuan silently roasted the fire.

I was very annoyed. This Meng Qiqi was just asking for too much.

This tinderbox only costs five copper coins in the city, and Meng Qiqi is just robbing people.

Meng Qiqi over there was holding the one or two taels of silver she had just earned, thinking that this one or two taels of silver would be enough for her to buy a lot of fire starters.

The others saw Meng Yuanyuan coming to borrow the fire starter from Meng Qiqi, but after finding out that the transaction cost one or two taels of silver, no one dared to take advantage of Meng Qiqi anymore.

Soon, night fell and just as everyone was preparing to rest, bursts of wolf howling suddenly came from all around, and everyone was immediately panicked.

Meng Qiqi reacted quickly. She ran to the yamen runners who were in charge of escorting them and told the leader of the yamen runners how to deal with the wolves.

At this time, people must not panic and must remain calm.

However, the number of wolves increased, and the people gradually became unable to resist.

At the critical moment, Meng Qiqi thought of a way. She reminded the head of the yamen runners and asked him to lead some people to set fire to the surrounding grass, creating a sea of ​​fire and stopping the wolves' attack.

Finally, the wolves were beaten back and everyone fell to the ground exhausted.

Meng Qiqi didn't know that because of this incident, she would get unexpected things later.

After this crisis, Meng Yuanyuan's opinion of Meng Qiqi also changed a little.

She realized that Meng Qiqi was not just a greedy person, but also had a smart and brave side.

Those who were frightened by the wolves gradually came to their senses.

Although this time there was no danger, there are still many unknowns at night.

The chief of the yamen runners ordered his men not to let their guard down at night.

This group of vicious wolves suddenly appeared on the side of the road. It must be because there was no food in the nearby mountains, so they appeared on the road.

Seeing that the chief of the yamen runners had taken the matter of the wolf pack to heart, Meng Qiqi returned to her own fire, lay down on a rock and continued to rest with her eyes closed.

As for whether other people's opinions of Meng Qiqi would change because of this incident, Meng Qiqi didn't care.

She originally wanted to have a good rest at night when she was not traveling.

During the more than ten days of traveling, her little feet were covered with blisters from walking every day.

It is necessary to take advantage of this night time to take good care of her little feet with rejuvenation powder.

This rejuvenation powder was made by crushing a rejuvenation pill into powder and applying it on her feet.

The effect was quite good. In just one night, her little feet were restored to their original state.

Before going to bed, Meng Qiqi added a lot of firewood to the fire. She leaned against a stone, covered herself with a quilt, closed her eyes and slowly fell asleep in the faint light of the fire at night.

On cold nights, it is barely enough for others to rely on their own clothes to keep warm.

Everyone squatted beside the fire they had made, using the flames to dispel the coldness on their bodies.

The night is as black as ink, the darkness fades quietly, the dark clouds gradually fade away, a gentle blue appears on the horizon, and dawn comes quietly.

Meng Qiqi, who was sleeping soundly, had not woken up yet, and her face was covered with a layer of morning mist.

It was not until dawn that Meng Qiqi slowly turned her closed eyes and slowly opened them. When she woke up, the flames in the fire had long been extinguished.

Meng Qiqi stood up, tidied up the quilt, added firewood to the extinguished fire, and then started a fire with a tinderbox.

She found that many people had not woken up yet, even the head of the yamen runners was still sleeping.

So she took out the small porcelain pot from her backpack, and washed the bowls, chopsticks and spoons with water from the kettle. Then she put the porcelain pot on the fire, added water and rice into the pot and simmered it slowly.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, the water in the porcelain pot began to boil.

Meng Qiqi stirred the porcelain pot with a spoon, and when she felt it was almost done, she scooped it into a bowl with the spoon.

He squatted beside the fire with a bowl in his hand, blowing on the porridge in the bowl while looking up and observing the surrounding situation.

I drink a sip of porridge from time to time. Sure enough, the rice grown in the space is fragrant, delicious and tasty.

The weather in October is foggy in the early morning. The fog and cold air in the air turn into frost on people's faces.

After she finished the porridge in her bowl, she filled another bowl from the porcelain pot and drank it.

Drinking steaming hot porridge early in the morning warms your stomach.

It was not until Meng Qiqi finished drinking the porridge in the porcelain pot that the others woke up one after another.

While she was washing the porcelain pots and dishes, the yamen runners were still eating dry food.

When she had almost finished cleaning up, the yamen runners began to urge the exiles.

It’s so cold today, so everyone has to hurry on their way.

In more than a month, it may snow here.

While Meng Qiqi was on her way, she discovered something: the direction in which these exiles were heading.

The surrounding environment has become increasingly desolate, and in some places there is no grass growing.

At a glance, all you see is dry land and piles of rocks of all sizes.

These exiles walked like this for more than half a month.

During this period, whenever Meng Qiqi passed through a city on the road, she would exchange her banknotes for hard cash.

That day, they arrived at another post station. This post station was quite large and could almost be a small town.

The post station here actually sells dry food.

Meng Qiqi also followed the crowd to buy some dry food and found a water source at the post station.

So she filled her water bottle at the post station after drinking it on the way.

Of course, this water resource is not free. The people in the post station will ask them for money for water.

The head of the yamen runners only allowed these exiles to rest at the post station for half an hour.
