Traveling through ancient times to flee from famine, take the time and space gate with you

Everyone started busy setting up tents and making fires to cook, because it was already very late and everyone had been hungry all day. Although they ate some dry food while waiting outside the city, it was too dry and hard to eat, so it was difficult to eat.

I didn't eat much either.

They first lit the fire with the pine cone they picked up before, poured all the water in the bamboo tube into the pot, and freed up the bamboo tube to fill the water.

The hillside was not high and there were still trees, so they divided into two groups. One group held a torch and picked up some dry branches that fell on the ground to light the fire at night, while the other group went to the creek to fetch water.

There was a lot of hay in this open space. After gathering it, it was spread on the ground and the tent was set up directly.

In this season, it is actually quite cold to sleep in a tent at night. Fortunately, they have a lot of quilts, otherwise I don’t know how I would survive the night.

When they were on that plain before, they would always find empty houses to rest in advance. With Xiao Ling scouting the way ahead, they would basically find an empty village before dark and live in those houses. Even if the roof was a little leaky, as long as

Even if it doesn't rain, it's still much warmer than a tent with four walls.

With more people and greater strength, those who were assigned to collect firewood quickly picked up a lot of dead branches. Several people who went to the stream to fetch water also came back. The stream was not far from this open space, and it was just a short walk up the road.

A distance of a hundred feet.

There is no village nearby, so the stream is very clear.

It was already quite late, and Xiaoling didn't fly out to explore the way again, but Jiayin's consciousness did.

Now Jiayin's spiritual consciousness has spread over a wider area, and can spread to a distance of five miles, about six miles or so.

She discovered that there were still some villages around, but they were not on the side of the road. They were all accessible by a short walk along a fork in the road.

Jiayin doesn't understand why these villages aren't built next to this wide official road. Isn't it possible to set up a shed like the one at the city gate before for people coming and going to buy tea and earn copper coins?

There are some villages that are closer to the official road. However, there is still a piece of wasteland next to the official road, and then there are the fields of those villages, and then there are other people's homes.

If you don't understand, just ask. She asked Old Mrs. Yang: "Grandma, we've been walking for so long, why didn't we see a village on the roadside?"

After hearing this, Mrs. Yang smiled and said to her: "There are many merchants coming and going on this official road. If there is a village, the people in the village will be disturbed by the pedestrians coming and going.

For the people in the village, it may be dangerous if they don't say anything. Because pedestrians coming and going are not necessarily good people. What if they enter the village and do bad things?

Otherwise, the village is too close to the official road, and it is more dangerous for the children to go out to play, and they may be taken away directly by the kidnappers.

If a kidnapper drives by in a car, he just takes the child into the car and runs away, leaving no place to look for him."

After hearing this, Jiayin nodded with understanding. It turns out that it is like this. There is really no benefit in getting too close to officialdom.

I can't blame those villages. The nearest ones have to be separated by a piece of wasteland and fields before there are people. In this case, if bad guys really get in, they will at least pass by the wasteland and fields. The villagers can see it at a glance and give early warning.

This can protect the safety of the village. It seems that humans are very thoughtful.

However, how come there are bad people who specialize in stealing children? What is the purpose of stealing them? Are they eaten? I don’t think I have ever heard of cannibalism?

So Jiayin asked again: "Grandma, why are they arresting the child?"

Old Mrs. Yang said: "Some people don't have children themselves. If they want a child, they have to buy one with money. In this way, those who steal children will make money. If the child is bought back, he will be his son. When he grows up, he will work for the family.

Provide care for yourself until the end of your life.

Or sell it to wealthy families and serve as a maidservant to serve the masters."

Jiayin tilted her head and thought for a while, the servant girl is a maid, right? Just like the maids in their Dragon Palace. However, their maids are not bought, they are all little demons who became spirits under the sea and came here themselves.

A nameless little demon can be beaten to death at any time. It is different after entering the Dragon Palace. Just like a human being has a household registration, he will be protected by the Dragon Palace and others will not dare to mess with him.
