Started as a thatched house and ended up as a female figure

The four families, Cheng's family, Mrs. Zhang's family, Mrs. Song's family, and Doctor Wei's family, embarked on the road to Liangzhou.

That's right, Dr. Wei is also going to Liangzhou.

However, he didn't go to Liangzhou to follow Cheng Wan, but he originally planned to go to Liangzhou to join his friends.

Doctor Wei's family drove a mule cart, and there were only three people in it.

Doctor Wei, Mrs. Wei, and Doctor Wei's son who is less than two years old.

The child is so young, no wonder Dr. Wei had to buy rice from the Cheng family to make rice soup for the child.

Of the four, the Cheng family needless to say, currently has six horses and one mule.

Then the Cheng family discovered that they had so many animals that they didn't know what to do with them.

After all, not everyone has the courage like Cheng Wan to teach himself how to ride a horse.

Cheng Wan's riding was unruly, and she didn't dare teach her family to ride without permission for fear of something unexpected happening.

So several men of the Cheng family changed the family's carriage and mule carriage into two double carriages.

The remaining two horses and one mule.

Cheng Wan kept the military horse. When Mrs. Lin allowed her to move freely, she would still ride the horse.

The other horse and the mule were lent to Mrs. Zhang's family.

Mrs. Zhang's family currently has a total of twenty-three people, making it a truly prosperous family.

Her family has a lot of luggage, but fortunately they have two trolleys. Before, her sons or grandsons would take turns pushing them.

In addition, everyone in the family carries some on their own, which solves the luggage problem.

Now the four families have to travel together. Only Mrs. Zhang’s family has no livestock to pull the cart, which is very inconvenient.

After asking for permission from her family, Mrs. Lin lent the horse and mule to Mrs. Zhang's family.

No rent is required, but the horses and mules must be chewed by themselves, and they will be returned to the Cheng family when they arrive.

If anything happens to the horses or mules during the journey, Mrs. Zhang’s family will have to compensate.

These conditions were stated clearly by Mrs. Lin in front of everyone.

I'm afraid that if something goes wrong, the relationship between the two families will be affected, and the gain will outweigh the loss.

Mrs. Zhang's family naturally had no objections. They knew in their hearts that the Cheng family was taking care of themselves.

Besides, there is nothing excessive about the conditions proposed by the Cheng family. The horses and mules are basically free for their own use.

Mrs. Zhang held Mrs. Lin's hand and cried very sincerely, saying all the time: "Sister, thank you, thank you for your family..."

Turning around, Mrs. Zhang solemnly told her family that they must take good care of the horses and mules, keep in mind the Cheng family's kindness today, and must repay the favor if there is an opportunity in the future.

In one of the Cheng family's carriages.

Cheng Wan estimated the distance in her mind and said, "Dad, starting from there, we should have walked more than sixty kilometers, right?"

"There" naturally refers to the place where the bandits were encountered.

Cheng Daniu nodded, "That's almost it. If what that bandit said is true, let's hurry up."

"Boom! Boom!"

Suddenly, two particularly loud thunders interrupted Cheng Daniu's unfinished words.

Cheng Wan and Cheng Daniu's expressions changed, and they quickly opened the car curtains and looked up at the sky.

I saw thunder roaring and lightning crackling in the distant sky.

Large dark clouds dyed the sky black, and these dark clouds were rolling towards this side at an extremely fast speed.

Everyone outside the car stared with wide eyes, watching helplessly as the sun was shining brightly on a sunny day just now. The sun was so hot that it made people panic. As a result, in the blink of an eye, the sun disappeared in the sky and turned into dark clouds, lightning and thunder.

Old Mrs. Lin shook her voice, "It... it's going to rain heavily! Brother! Take out the two raincoats and two bamboo hats in the car, as well as the big iron pot, wooden bucket... as long as you can The guy who protects you from the rain has to do everything he can! He can protect every one."

Cheng Erniu, who was driving the carriage in front, immediately stopped the carriage and said, "Xiaoyu! Sanping? Come on, you guys come out first, and I'll take out the raincoat."

Cheng Wan was about to bend down to get out of the carriage. Mrs. Lin, who was sitting outside the carriage, turned around and pushed Cheng Wan in as if she had eyes on her back.

"What are you doing out here! Just stay inside. You are still injured. How can you survive if you get caught in the rain?"

The wind had picked up and was whistling.

Cheng Wan didn't care to answer Mrs. Lin's words. She stood at the door of the carriage and shouted: "Hurry up and hand over all the kids! The carriage in front can also hand them over, it's nearby!"

“My mule cart can also deliver it!”

Dr. Wei also shouted.

One after another, children of several years old were quickly packed into the carriage. These little children were quite sensible and did not cry or make trouble. After entering the carriage, they even stepped back consciously to make room for the children who came in behind.

"Go quickly! Go quickly and find a place to take shelter from the rain!"

There is no need for Mrs. Lin to remind you, everyone knows the seriousness of the matter.

There is no village in the front or a store in the back. If it rains heavily and the rest of them get wet, they will be in big trouble.

"Tick, tick..."

Almost as soon as Mrs. Lin finished speaking, everyone outside the carriage felt raindrops falling on their faces.

"Crash..."

Then the next moment, it was like there was a hole in the sky, and rain poured down through the hole.

People who were not in the carriage and had no protection from raincoats were instantly soaked in the rain.

For example, if Deng Xiong carries a big iron pot on his head, he can only protect the top of his head and the upper half of his face.

The children were all in the carriage of Cheng's and Doctor Wei's families. Mrs. Song's and Mrs. Zhang's families had no worries. At this time, all their minds were focused on protecting the food on the trolley.

"Press it down with something! Hold it down! Don't let the wind blow up the oilcloth!"

"You don't have eyes! That corner is not covered! Hurry up and turn the iron pot upside down! There is no wink at all, it's already late, and I still have to worry about everything!"

……

Mrs. Zhang's temper became even more irritable, and Cheng Wan could clearly hear Mrs. Zhang's voice lecturing her family in the carriage.

Mrs. Song's temper was much gentler. Cheng Wan could only vaguely hear a few words, "Take care of your coir raincoat", "Boss and wife, take care of yourself", "Second brother, be careful not to fall"...

The sky was extremely gloomy, and the howling wind blew big raindrops onto people, making it difficult to open their eyes.

The horses and mules neighed uneasily, and some did not want to move forward.

Cheng Erniu was so anxious that he whipped the horse's butt several times in succession, "Drive! Drive! Don't kick the horse! Move quickly!"

Cheng Daping was also very anxious. He took the time to wipe the raindrops from his eyelids, swung his whip and hit the two horses' buttocks with a whip. The two horses' legs were raised, but they moved two steps forward. He stopped moving again.

Cheng Wan leaned out of the carriage again.

Mrs. Lin grabbed Cheng Wan's arm and shouted at the top of her voice: "What are you doing! It's raining so hard outside, don't go out! What can you do if the horses and mules don't want to go out? You're injured ! Let your second uncle and the others want to recruit you!"

Cheng Wan was touched by Mrs. Lin's love and care for her, but with such bad weather and who knew when the rain would stop, they couldn't just stop here.

"I'll go out and see if it's okay. I'll bring over my mother's raincoat and put it on, and put on a bamboo hat so it won't get wet on me."

This way her mother could sit in her place while the carriage rested.
