There is no moon or star in the sky.

Every family lit lanterns, and what the carriage could illuminate was a small area around, which was dark.

Occasionally, animals howled around, frightening the grass in the car straight into the old lady's arms.

Uncle Ma got off and quickly adjusted the position of several cars in the team.

He started with the car driven by Gu Zhang, and the car driven by Gu Sanlang and his aunt took the last.

The eldest uncle is from the mountains. He often goes hunting in the mountains. Although he is older and in his fifties, he has great courage and rich experience. At the end, he can respond to any emergencies in time.

It's adjusted. Keep moving.

At this time, all the walkers are close to the side of the car. The unknown darkness is really terrible.

If you walk ten miles fast, you'll be there in two quarters of an hour.

But after walking all day, they were very tired. It took nearly half an hour to get to the inn uncle Ma said.

Seeing the light of the inn, everyone was delighted.

The inn is surrounded by a low loess wall, which means a place.

The crowd drove the car in, and the waiter at the door shouted, "here comes the guest -"

The party had no experience of going out, and the car didn't unload. They all Hula into the inn.

Qian found a bench and collapsed on it.

Li's body was already weak. Although he had a few breaks along the way, he was no better than Qian's and leaned back on a chair to breathe.

Li Chunhua and Chen are in good condition. They quickly untie their baggage and take water to drink.

The men gathered around the counter. Uncle Ma asked the shopkeeper, "how does the shopkeeper live?"

The shopkeeper glanced at the clothes of the group and saw that they were all rural men. He slowly said, "go to the room for one or two silver and provide four barrels of hot water. The other rooms cost 500 yuan a night, only one barrel of hot water. One person has 20 Wen a night. There is nothing. You have to make your own luggage. If you want to make it, you have to calculate another money."

"The rest of the animals eat a bundle of forage for five Wen. They have to find a waiter and buy it by themselves."

The village head frowned, "shopkeeper, it's not cheap to provide twenty Wen for this shop. Can't you provide a bowl of water?"

The shopkeeper raised his eyelids. "It's good to have a shelter for twenty Wen. Do you want water?"

"If you want to drink water, you can buy another one, 100 Wen a bucket. If you want to drink, you can collect firewood and burn it yourself."

Boss Zhang first shouted, "your water is too expensive, isn't it?"

The shopkeeper shook his head. "Do you know where the water comes from? The water in the well is dry! I hired someone to pick it up in the yangshizi river more than ten miles away. I have to pay dozens of Wen for a bucket of water. If you are too expensive, go to the river and pick it up by yourself."

Everyone was silent. The drought is getting worse and worse.

When I came out this morning, half a bucket of muddy water was brought up at home.

Uncle Ma didn't speak and looked at the people. He only cared about the journey. As for how people want to stay in the store, each family has its own ideas, but he can't manage it.

The village head said first, "my family lives in Tongpu. There is still a pinch on this road. The silver is not spent."

"Buy another bucket of water and we'll burn it ourselves."

All the people also thought it was cost-effective to live in Tongpu.

There are eight people in the village head's family, including the old couple, two sons, two daughters in law, a ten year old grandson and a nine year old granddaughter.

The village head took out the money bag from his arms, counted the copper coins and said to the shopkeeper, "don't you have to give money to my two children?"

The shopkeeper rolled his eyes. "Why don't you give it? Your baby doesn't occupy a place to sleep?"
