Fall In Love with the Technology Tree

Cao Shuo was weak since childhood. Although he can run and jump now, he looks no different from ordinary teenagers, but his foundation is still weak. It was the first time he went out to endure hardship, which made Mrs. Ding worry. So she, who has always managed her family strictly, took extravagance this time. Not only did she have a comprehensive range of medicinal herbs, cool silk, but also two large boxes of fresh vegetables and fruits, which were sealed with ice and covered with thick straw. Covered with tarpaulin for thermal insulation.

Cao Pi and Sun Quan were lying comfortably in the straw pile, the cool air came from beside them, and occasionally there was the fragrance of flowers and fruits, they were so comfortable that they almost fell asleep. And they really fell asleep.

When I woke up, it was already past lunch time. Cao Pi rubbed his groaning stomach and rolled over on the haystack. "I'm hungry," he muttered.

Sun Quan is bigger than him, and he is not as comfortable as him in the straw pile. At this time, he just scratched his eyes and said in a sullen voice, "Would you like to steal some from the box?"

"That's for my second brother." Cao Pi struggled.

Sun Quan rolled his eyes: "But you are hungry, where can I find something to eat for you? You will be found when you get off the bus."

Cao Pi blocked him: "I am anxious."

"I..." Sun Quan almost swears, "I..."

The little devil showed an innocent smile: "I don't want to **** on the car either."

Sun Quan lowered his voice: "Cao Api, you are my ancestor." Then he resignedly took a few steps forward, reached the edge of the straw pile, and secretly lifted a corner of the tarpaulin.

The wheels kept rolling, and the gray-black gravel ground receded at a constant speed, accompanied by the shadows of the street trees. Occasionally when there are no trees, you can see the vast fields and villages in the distance, a green that makes people feel hopeful, even in the scorching sun. Along both sides of the new road are well-populated land, which seems like a vicissitudes of life compared to the Chidi Qianli a few years ago.

"The car is moving, how do I get off?" Sun Quan said to himself, "To be reasonable, it's you who said you were going to run away. I really can't believe what a child says." Precocious and unable to plan such a big event as running away from home.

The sound of the horse's hoofs is getting closer and closer, and the two children are lying beside the ice cubes with their mouths covered, like two shivering mice. At least three horses circled twice around the car they were in, "tuk-tuk", "tuk-tuk-tuk," the crunch of the horseshoes against the hard surface was so clear it seemed to hit the heart through the eardrums .

Bears' eyes wide in the dark. This heart-pounding feeling peaks when the light suddenly brightens.

Someone lifted the tarp!

"Anything unusual?" The man's voice was just above his head.

Then there was a pounding of straw. "It seems that the straw is messed up."

"The straw is messy, and it's even messier when you stir it up."

The words "help" popped into his throat instantly. How could he forget that the Cao family's guards had a lot of ruthless characters mixed in. If it was stabbed at the body this time, even an unsheathed knife could smash the child's ribs.

"Brush!" It was the second stroke, this time the scabbard fell on Sun Quan's armpit. Life and face, that must be life is more important! Sun Jia Erlang made a decision almost immediately, and was about to get up when he heard the male voice outside shouting:

"You're crazy! This is the birthday gift for the second son. What should I do if it breaks?"

"...the subordinates were ill-considered."

"Go and go. Go to the next car if it's all right."

The sound of heavy cavalry hooves gradually faded away, and Sun Quan lay in the dark for a long time, unable to recover. When he reacted, he wiped his forehead, good guy, his forehead was covered in sweat.

Cao Pi leaned in the direction of the ice cube while squirming. "Then shall we get out of the car?"

Sun Quan wiped the sweat from his hands on the straw, and replied, "If you can bear it, then three miles away will be Xinji No. 2 Post Station, and the convoy must be repaired."

"Aquan, can you watch milestones?"

Sun Quan squeezed Cao Pi's face: "Brother Quan. I'm the man who finished "Treatise on Traffic" in Liaodong."

Cao Pi refused to accept: "Didn't you only learn shipbuilding?"

"Ships and roads have the same destination. Essentially, they are all physical channels that allow materials, population, and culture to spread." Sun Quanbang read.

This sentence exceeded the comprehension ability of Cao Wusui, so he obediently shut up.

Another half an hour passed, and the wheel that had been spinning since the morning finally stopped with a crunch. Under the cover of Sun Quan, Cao Pi, who was already too hungry, tiptoed down from the deck covered with hay. Taking advantage of the gap between the guards feeding the horses, the two little ones ran into the thatched hut behind the inn.

The post station is newly built, even the dry toilet is much better than the cesspit that has been used in rural areas for decades. There is also a sink for washing hands after going out, which can make the two little boys breathe a sigh of relief.

"Aquan, look, it's a cornfield." Cao Pi suddenly said.

Sun Quan raised his head, right? Around the backyard of the inn, two acres of corn are planted. At this time, all the buds have grown, and the green ones can be eaten raw by peeling off the leaves. Just at this time, someone came in the direction of the latrine, and the two little babies looked at each other and got into the corn field at the same time.

The ground was already a mess, with straw, weeds and corn leaves mixed together. It was pitiful. Even the ten-year-old Sun Quan could not pick the corn on the top of the plant, so they used the method of crushing the whole corn stalk with body weight and then violently dividing the body. But this pressure often suffers more than just one plant. In the end, there were not as many woes that got into the mouth.

Sun Quan scratched his head: "It seems that you have to pay copper coins, did you bring any money?"

Cao Pi looked bewildered: "...No. This is the cornfield of the inn. Isn't it my family's that belongs to the inn?"

"You have to pay." Sun Quan said, "Public transportation is not family property."

The two looked at each other and ran out on a whim, who would bring the money?

Cao Pi took off the jade pendant around his neck: "Does this work?"

"You are really a noble man, this jade is enough to buy fifty carts of corn." Sun Quan rolled his eyes.

So the two took off all the decorations on their bodies and put them on the ground in pieces, including two brushes.

"Why do you still bring a pen?" Sun Quan stretched out his hand to grab the two objects with the wrong style of painting, "This one is the cheapest."

"Nonsense! This, this, this is Mrs. Yan's paintbrush, which is worth a hundred gold. It's better to use this little golden peach."

"All right. Hey, what's this? Colorful pebbles?"

There seemed to be stars twinkling in the blue. "Second uncle gave me this." Cao Pi reluctantly said, "It's probably a stone, but I haven't seen a stone more beautiful than it."

Sun Quan hammered Cao Xiaopi's head: "At this time, I can only choose the cheapest thing."

“…all right then.”

So Cao Pi gave up his "pebble", for which he was mocked by Cao Shuo for a whole year. Of course this is another story.

Back now, Cao Pi and Sun Quan are facing their biggest crisis since they fled.

The team is gone!

Just as they were destroying the corn and choosing the bargains, the convoy transporting Cao Shuo's birthday ceremony had already left Xinji No. 2 Station.

The sun sets and the sunset glows. The two children stood on the clean road and stared blankly. They couldn't even tell which direction they were coming from and where they would lead to where Cao Shuo was. Sun Quan was older, so Cao Pi looked at Sun Quan. The young Sun Zhongmou only felt a heavy burden suddenly on his shoulders: "In short, find a place to sleep first."
