Create a home with a system

Chapter 70

Tang Ning saw the woman's appearance clearly. She was about in her early twenties, with a neat bun and a big silver hairpin stuck in it. She looked quite pretty. She was looking at the delicate skin and tender meat, unlike the farmers who planed food in the field. , but the half-red face ruined the beauty.

The woman was also afraid of losing face, so she walked for a while with her head down and got into the last carriage. No one was there to find fault. It looked like an ordinary couple having a conflict. Tangning didn't pay much attention to it. After the caravan set off, they Continue to follow.

Before dark, the caravan was repairing at an inn beside the official road. Most of the refugees who followed stopped, but they didn’t stay in the inn, but lay on the ground outside the inn. Because there were too many people, the innkeeper’s expression was not good. Fortunately, they didn't chase them away, so Tangning discussed with Tang Junsheng and the others, "Should we continue walking or should we stop and rest?"

"You need money to stay in the hotel!" Er Lengzi explained everyone's embarrassment in one sentence.

Right now, only the two girls, Tangning and Du Chunyue, can earn money, while the others only go out and not in, so naturally they want to save as much as they can.

Seeing this, Tang Ning said, "Then let's continue on our way. This is close to Xijing, and the official road is very flat. Even if we walk at night, it doesn't matter."

Another point is that you can travel unimpeded at night, and you don't have to worry about being troubled by others.

Tang Junsheng nodded, "Then go for another two hours, then stop and rest at the same place, and continue to set off after dawn."

When they left, the refugees took a second look. Some people wanted to go with them. They looked at Tang Ning and the inn. They finally gritted their teeth and stayed. If they couldn't survive with the caravan, they could ask for help Charity, following those people has no hope at all.

The shopkeeper and the waiter of the inn thought the others would leave, but only Tangning and the others left. They were immediately disappointed. At this moment, there were impatient shouts from upstairs. The shopkeeper hurriedly put his mind to rest and asked the waiter to go up to serve the guests.

Tang Ning and his party walked for more than two hours. In the late autumn night, the cold wind was blowing so hard that people couldn't open their eyes. They wished they could bury their heads in their curled thighs. It's frightening and unsettling to watch it fall down at any moment.

Everyone was able to grit their teeth and persist for so long because of Tangning's presence. Knowing that she can see at night, as long as Tangning doesn't panic, they have nothing to fear.

From Tangning's point of view, this kind of environment was not suitable for stopping and resting. Not to mention children, adults might get sick, so they wanted to continue on their way, but who knew it would rain in the middle of the night.

When the rain fell on his face, Wei Dazhi, who was driving the donkey cart, joked: "Hahaha, you said the wind at night is really interesting, and it can even roll up the water, dripping on my face! "

Pushing the cart behind, Tang Junsheng panted, "Maybe the bugs on the tree peed on your face, hahaha."

The others followed suit and laughed.

Wei Dazhi cursed angrily.

Tang Lao Er gasped, "Are there so many bedbugs here? Why did I get dripped too?"

Women hate bedbugs the most. Tang Rou almost cried after hearing what Tang Laoer said, "Father, stop talking, I got dripped too."

Tangning looked up at the sky, but she could clearly see the rain drifting in the night when others couldn't see it. She suddenly laughed heartily, "Don't worry about it, it's not bedbugs, it's raining!"

A stone stirred up thousands of waves, everyone was stunned, and they all looked up at the sky. Only then did they realize that there is no moon tonight, let alone a sky full of stars. Without any fear, I just stared at the rain all over the sky and smirked.

But soon they stopped laughing, because the rain was getting bigger and bigger. Tangning looked around and said to everyone, "We can't go any further, we have to find a place to shelter from the rain."

"Where can we go to shelter from the rain here in the wilderness? Besides, it's pitch black and we can't see the way clearly!" Tang Laoer was in a hurry, and he held Nizi in his arms, fearing that she would get caught in the rain. .

Tangning told everyone to continue on their way, looking around non-stop, and finally led a group of people to hide in a deserted earth temple.

Everyone is poor these days, and the offerings of the land are eaten by others. The three plates covered with spider silk on the altar can tell how long no one has come here. Fortunately, the Earth Temple is made of bricks and tiles. The roof has been in disrepair for a long time, and there is only one place where the rain leaks, and the rest are in good condition. They can still have a good night's sleep here after simply tidying up.

Before everyone calmed down from the excitement of the rain, they entered the earth temple and lit a bonfire. The adults all ran out to get wet in the rain, and the children wanted to celebrate with them, but they were driven into the temple by the adults.

Tangning shook her head, let them go crazy, set up the big pot, cooked some porridge, and warmed up some steamed buns, and offered a portion to the statue of the Lord of the Land before inviting everyone to come in and eat.

A group of people stepped into the temple gate and found something hot on the altar. They were stunned for a while, but they didn't make a sound. Instead, they went to worship three times devoutly, and then sat by the fire to eat.

The firewood was burning very vigorously, which also allowed everyone to see the situation in the Earth Temple clearly. This Earth Temple is not big, but the statues are quite magnificent, taller than an adult. Except for one statue and one altar, there are only a few left. There is a three-foot-wide ground for people to kneel and worship.

Their pot was placed under the eaves of the entrance, and three straw mats were placed in the three-foot-wide space. It was impossible for them all to lie down and sleep, so they could only sit side by side. Barely able to squeeze it all in.

Although the conditions are bad, everyone is already very content, at least there are tiles on the top of the head to shelter from the wind and rain, and it doesn't cost money.

Because of the rain, everyone fell asleep with beautiful dreams. In the dream, there were green mountains and green waters, a good harvest of food, sweet melons and fruits, and meat that they couldn’t get enough of.
After a good night's sleep, Tang Laoer was the first to wake up. Although the donkey was tied under the eaves and the things were beside them, he was still worried. He woke up early to have a look. Found two girls hiding in the gap between the wall and the cart.

"Who are you?" Tang Laoer asked, waking everyone up.

Everyone got out and surrounded the cart, only to see two girls standing up pitifully from the gap, looking very weak and harmless.

Tangning's eyes widened and she said, "It's you! I've seen you before. Didn't you follow that caravan? How did you come here?"

Tangning squinted her eyes and asked expressionlessly.

The others felt pity at first and were about to inquire carefully, but they all stopped thinking after hearing Tangning's words.

Something must have happened to the two girls who followed the caravan to come here at night. Such a big caravan would not cause any trouble in this kind of place.
