Gu Fei suddenly remembered that the troops marched in the past. No wonder they all wore leggings.
She should have thought of this earlier.
Xiaocao said in a sweet voice next to her, "Boy, tie it up for me too."
Mrs. Chen smiled, "You don't have to walk a few steps, so you don't need to tie it up."
Li Chunhua and Lanzhi also tied up each other, and Lanzhi tied them up. Looking at her legs, she really didn't expect that one day she would go out dressed so weirdly.
But there was nothing I could do, my legs were so painful that I couldn't even lift them.
That's not all. When the old lady left the room, Gu Fei pulled Lanzhi over, took out a box of shadow powder that she had used in her previous life, and applied it all over Lanzhi's face.
Lanzhi first thought that Gu Fei was putting makeup on herself, but when she saw her dark self in the bronze mirror, she was shocked, "Why are you putting makeup on me like this?"
Gu Fei pinched her face, "You You're so good-looking. It's not safe on the road. What if you encounter soldiers or bandits and snatch you away?"
"I didn't expect this yesterday."
When Lanzhi heard this, she nodded quickly, wishing that Gu Fei could do it again. Apply more to him.
After coming out of the room, Chen and Li Chunhua also started to make breakfast. Breakfast consisted of white rice porridge with wild vegetables, pickles and cornmeal pancakes.
After dinner, Mrs. Chen asked Gu Erlang to fetch two buckets of water, stir them with alum, put them in a large pot to boil, and then filled all the water bladders.
The operations of every household are similar.
My uncle had a small family, so he only bought a bucket of water, boiled it, poured it into a jar and sealed it, and gave the rest to the mules to drink.
At about midnight, the mule was brought out and harnessed. Uncle Ma shouted, "Let's go. Let's walk faster today and try to get to Fuyuan Town to rest in the evening."
Not long after setting off, I felt that the people on the official road were more crowded than yesterday. A little more.
Gu Zhang saw a group of more than ten people walking in rags and carrying bags, old and young, both men and women. They looked like a family, so he went over to find an old man and asked, "Old man, Where are you going?"
The old man shook his head, "I don't know, it doesn't matter where I go."
"Our family only has three acres of land, and there is no harvest in the spring. There is a drought now, and we haven't harvested a single grain this year. The family has been without food for half a year, and there is no way to survive at home. Maybe there will be people alive when we come out."
Gu Zhang sighed, and the old man asked, "Where are you going?"
Gu Zhang said, "Go to the south. There is no drought in the south. How many people are there in the north? There is a severe drought in the county, and there is not enough water for the family to survive."
The old man was stunned. "How many counties are there?"
"I was thinking that it would be better in Xishan County. I still have a few laborers who can earn a living by working as long-term workers."
Gu Zhang shook his head, "It's been a drought, so Xishan County is probably not as good as ours. Our Xiqin County has had a good county governor in the past few years. , the excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes have been reduced a lot, and water conservancy has been built, and everyone is living a good life."
"There are many coal mountains in Xishan County, and the original output is less. I'm afraid it will be even harder."
The old man said with a look of confusion on his face. The county has no way out, what should we do?
"Then which south are you going to?"
Gu Zhang replied: "Let's go southeast, to Donghai County."
The old man shook his head: "Isn't it closer to Hanzhong County? That side is also in the south. There is Dahe County over there. There won't be a drought, I did go there when I was young."
