Chapter 155 Great Joy

When he ran around with his head in his hands, he was afraid of being hit by a bow and arrow. He ran while holding his head and shouting: "Please spare my life, please spare my life. We are also poor people. We can't make ends meet. That's why we want to have something to eat and drink..."

People from Taohua Village: “…”

The people following the team couldn't help laughing, and suddenly they inexplicably felt that their lives seemed to be better than those bandits.

Zhou Yang poked his head out and looked at the dozen or so bandits who were running away in panic, laughing happily.

Then he turned around and proudly said to his family, "See, I said I would follow the Baijiabao caravan. Wasn't that the right decision?!"

The people of the Zhou family echoed the sentiment, and between the lines they were praising the Baijiabao caravan for protecting everyone.

This decision is not only correct, it is absolutely correct.

Following the Baijiabao caravan along the way, not only did they not consume much of the food they carried, but they actually gained more than 200 kilograms.

In addition to the food obtained by catching crayfish in Qingzhou, they also found things along the way and exchanged them with caravans for supplies.

Baijiabao was indeed a large merchant caravan that traveled far and wide. It had grain, oil, cloth, and even salt, but the quantity was small and it would be gone after just one or two purchases.

It wasn't just Zhou Yang's family. Others found it funny and felt relieved at the same time.

It was also the first time for them to see bandits who had done so many evil things flee in such a hurry.

This scene also made Yang Songle overwhelmed, and he sighed: "If the army of Jin State had the skills and discipline like the Baijiabao caravan, there would be no worry about the current situation."

A solemn expression flashed across Lu Xiaohao's face, and he spoke in an inaudible voice: "One-third of the caravan's strength will be enough."

However, no matter how strong the army is, it will be of little use if the generals who fight the war are not good enough.

Besides, it’s not like Jin didn’t have a good army, but the imperial court didn’t use it, and even if it did, it would have trouble with food and equipment…

Thinking of this, Lu Xiaohao's face immediately darkened.

"Sir?"

"Sir?"

Lu Xiaohao came back to his senses: "Hmm?"

Yang Song: "Sir, what's wrong with you?"

"Nothing." Lu Xiaohao made up an excuse: "I'm thinking about where to go next."

"Aren't we following the caravan?" Yang Song was surprised.

Lu Xiaohao glanced at him and said, "Can you cook?"

Yang Song was embarrassed: "Uh, not quite there yet."

"Then follow me first." The caravans on both sides also wanted to go to Yancheng.

Yang Song, who didn't know his master had already found out the destination, felt guilty. If only he could be of some use...

But Yang Song changed his mind and felt that it was really good to follow the caravan because it was safe and he wouldn't have to worry about food. However, he only dared to think this in his heart.

"Auntie, we are only a few miles away from this mountain."

When Bai Dashan came to report, Bai Tao was lying in the carriage, being shaken to the point of exhaustion.

Upon hearing this, he jumped up, opened the carriage curtain and looked out. It was indeed the one that came out. He couldn't help but sigh, "It's finally coming out."

The saying "a horse will die if it is run too fast" is true. In ancient times, even official roads had many twists and turns.

It is considered fast to walk up a hill in two days.

Even though Bai Tao had a tablet to watch TV series and videos, she couldn't avoid being bored.

In the past two days, she would glance at the mileage marked on the data from time to time, refreshing the number frequently, just like refreshing the number after ordering a takeaway to see where the delivery guy had delivered it.

"Auntie, you've been tired. Please sleep for a while. I'll call you when we're completely out of this mountain." "No need." Bai Tao waved her hand: "They're carrying the sedan chair. I'll sit in it for a while." Even if she was a little baby, she couldn't sleep for more than ten hours a day.

"Hey." Bai Dashan responded and immediately called someone to bring the sedan chair.

"Hang up the thick curtains to block the wind, so that the cold wind won't blow on me."

"Where are the fruits? Duoxi, put some fruits in the sedan chair for my aunt."

"You guys lift it carefully, don't shake me..."

The villagers were very understanding of Bai Tao's decision to ride in a sedan chair instead of a carriage.

Now they don’t understand why those rich people like to ride in this carriage, which shakes so much and seems like it will knock out the leftover food in their stomachs if they are not careful?
Although there are many horse-drawn carriages in Taohua Village now, except for pregnant women, everyone else either rides on horses or takes a pack cart. At worst, walking is also good.

Speaking of which, a pack cart is much more comfortable than a horse-drawn carriage. It moves steadily and quickly, and is not at all bumpy like a horse-drawn carriage.

"Oh no, Baihe's wife is about to give birth."

As Bai Tao sat on the sedan chair, a cry of surprise came from behind.

Then, another exclamation was heard: "Oh, Bai Dong's wife's water broke too..."

"Put me down." Bai Tao heard it and patted the armrest.

There are two of them coming at once. There is no way I can get out of this mountain today.

If it were someone else, encountering such an unexpected incident, there would definitely be chaos, but the people in Taohua Village were extremely experienced, and the villagers were only stunned for a moment.

Once the midwife confirmed the situation, each group in the village began to work in an orderly manner.

Find a spacious and suitable place to set up camp, set up the aunt's main tent first, and then set up the tents of each family in order with the aunt's tent as the center.

In the kitchen, pots of hot water were also prepared.

The Baijiabao caravan said they would not leave and started to set up camp. Others were still puzzled, but they soon found out what was going on.

Have a baby?
No wonder he didn't leave.

Some people who joined the escape team after passing Qingquan County curled their lips and said, "You guys should wait for us. We will go on our own."

We are about to leave Wufeng Mountain. There are still four or five hours left today. If we don’t hurry on our journey now, there is no point in setting up camp.

It's just giving birth. The caravan has carriages. Just put the girls on the carriages and let them give birth.

As for the people who joined later and wanted to leave, the people who had been with the Baijiabao caravan for a long time did not say a word, but just quietly found a place sheltered from the wind to rest.

Many people saw people from Taohua Village entering the woods in groups of three or five, and they quickly took action.

We haven't exchanged anything for two or three days, and our food is running out. Today, someone in the caravan has given birth, so we can stay for two or three days and look for something to exchange for supplies.

"Hurry up, hurry up, I'll try my best today and exchange a few pounds of food for it. It would be best if I could get 60 or 70 cents and exchange it for some meat."

Yang Xianglian also said something to her parents-in-law, and hurriedly called the people she knew nearby to go into the woods to look for something.

She thought about it and realized that there was still some rice. If her scores were high today, she could exchange it for some cotton and cloth to make the children wear more clothes. Otherwise, how would they survive the winter?

The mother was very fast and gave birth to a boy not long after entering the tent.

Although the mother was slow to give birth, she still gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, safely at around four in the afternoon.

Bai Tao was waiting outside the tent. After all, there was nothing special going on, so there was no need for her to stay inside.

As the baby cried loudly, the midwife came out joyfully to announce the good news: "Auntie, the baby is born! Auntie, great joy!"

The weather is very hot recently, so everyone should drink more water.

Um, if you have votes, can you vote for me?
