The group didn't come across a village, let alone an inn, so they could only go camping. Fortunately, Li Baolu was well prepared, and the weather was hot at this time, and the night was not cold, so it was very easy to camp.

Seeing the people from the Escort Bureau in front stop to camp, Li Baolu also found a place not too far from them to stop, and found an empty grass field to clear a place.

Gu Jingyun went to say hello to the people from the bodyguard bureau.

They want to follow other people's buttocks, so they naturally have to explain to each other to avoid misunderstanding.

Li Baolu looked at Gu Jingyun out of the corner of her eye while cleaning up the place where she was going to camp at night. She didn't look away until he returned to her after talking with the escort.

Li Baolu's actions were not cryptic, the bodyguard who had been looking at them naturally noticed it, and as soon as they left, the two bodyguards went to the carriage in front to reply.

The bodyguard who received Gu Jingyun said: "They are going to Hangzhou, they are not on the same road as us, I don't think he has to follow us from the look on his face."

Zheng Yi looked at the other person, that person was the bodyguard who had been observing Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu, he said: "Although the young man walks lightly, he steps on leaves on the ground. He should know some martial arts, but not good at it, but the little girl has some Strange, I saw her walking heavily, not like a martial artist, but she never took her eyes off the young master, it seems that she should be protecting the young master. Eldest young master, these two are too young, People who dare to travel far at a young age are either ignorant or capable, we have to guard against them."

Zheng Yi bowed his head in thought for a moment, nodded and said: "You are right, we have to guard against it, but the official roads to Hangzhou and the capital overlap, at least in the next three days we have to go the same way, we can't drive them away Walk."

"We can speed up," said the bodyguard who observed them, "I paid attention to them all the way, and found that the two young men were not in a hurry. The things that the little girl brought out just now were all in order. Obviously, they didn't intend to endure hardship. That being the case, We might as well speed up our journey, they will definitely not catch up to avoid running around."

This is indeed a good way to dump people.

Zheng Yi thought for a while, then nodded and said: "Ask someone to bury the pot to make food, and also make the dry food for tomorrow morning. We will set off early tomorrow morning, and get rid of people as soon as possible."

The value of the darts they brought to the capital this time is too high, and there is no room for negligence.

Li Baolu picked up a few stones nearby to build two stoves, took out two pots from the luggage and put them on, and took out two water bags to wash the rice.

The weather is hot, she plans to cook porridge to eat.

Gu Jingyun helped to collect a lot of firewood from nearby, and after confirming that there was enough to burn at night, he took out a handful of vegetables from the car, and asked Li Baolu, "What are you going to do at night?"

"Vegetable porridge?"

Gu Jingyun looked at her quietly.

"Okay, let's do it separately, but there are only eggs in the car besides vegetables, maybe I can look around for pheasants or hares."

"Give me the water bag, and I'll fill it up when I go to wash the vegetables." Gu Jingyun said flatly, "Also, I don't want to eat messy stew."

Li Baolu's cooking skills are not bad, but it's not much better. The most important thing is that she always refuses to cook with her heart. She likes to mix all kinds of ingredients together and stew, which forced Gu Jingyun to learn good cooking skills.

Seeing that Li Baolu deserved it with the water bag, he hesitated and said, "Forget it, let's do it when I come back."

"good."

Gu Jingyun: "...Next time, remember not to be so quick, or I will suspect that you purposely stew things in order not to cook."

Li Baolu tried to impress him with her sincere eyes, "Do you think I will be that kind of person?"

However, Gu Jingyun didn't even look at her, and left with a cold snort.

The people at the escort agency had already gone to fetch water with their things, so Gu Jingyun didn't have to look for water sources at all, just follow them to the forest.

A mountain stream rushes down from the mountain. The stream is clear and gurgling to the ground. There are several large pits scattered on the ground. The clear stream fills up the pits and then overflows, nourishing the nearby aquatic plants very richly. After one piece was filled, it slowly overflowed along a hole and flowed to a further place.

There is a lot of water in Guangdong and Guangxi, especially now that it is rainy in May. As long as it rains, the rainwater gathered on the mountains will wash down, forming mountain streams, and sometimes small waterfalls when the rain is heavy.

Gu Jingyun stood by the stream and looked up along the mountain stream. He saw that the stream water on the mountainside would splash down from time to time because it hit the stones. The cool stream water splashed on his face, and his hot and dry body suddenly felt refreshed.

He couldn't help showing a smile, let out a sigh of relief in his chest, and found a place where no one was around to fetch water.

When the guards saw Gu Jingyun, they nodded at him and returned to the convoy with water.

Gu Jingyun looked at the wooden barrels they were carrying thoughtfully. It seemed that they were not prepared enough. Although they brought two large water bladders, they were still not enough to fetch water.

Next time they meet a town on the road, they can buy a wooden barrel as a spare, maybe they can take a hot bath on the road.

When Gu Jingyun returned with two water bags, Li Baolu had already set up the tent for them to sleep at night, and Hongzao (the mule, their transportation tool) was happily gnawing grass beside him.

Gu Jingyun gave the water bag to Li Baolu and took out two eggs and washed vegetables from the luggage to cook.

Li Baolu worked diligently to light a fire for him, but Gu Jingyun drove him away impatiently, "I can come by myself, you'd better take care of the red dates, it won't be full tonight, and I'm afraid it won't be obedient and go on its way tomorrow."

Li Baolu took a scythe and went to mow the red dates without complaint.

The bodyguard who watched them not far away was stunned. This is... a strange luggage for going out.

Shouldn't the mule's fodder be prepared at the beginning, but it has to be cut now!

That boy even took green vegetables and eggs and cooked them fresh. Did he treat the journey as an outing?

Who didn't bring dry food with them when they went out, boiled water and soaked it for a while on the road, and they are so particular about cooking porridge and vegetables?

These two have no experience of going out at first glance.

The security alert level dropped again. Even so, Zheng Yi still did not dare to slack off. As soon as the fifth watch arrived, he woke up and started on his way.

Li Baolu was lying down with Gu Jingyun and sleeping soundly at that time, when she heard the sound, she got up and opened the tent to look outside. Seeing that they were packing up and leaving, she looked up at the sky full of stars.

But the weather was inaccurate, so she could only open the tent a little more, and looked at the small hourglass in the corner by the light of the fire. When she saw the scale clearly, she couldn't help crying, it was only three o'clock in the morning, wake up What kind of trouble is it going to be so early?

Li Baolu pulled up the tent, lay down and continued to sleep.

Gu Jingyun on the side was snoring soundly, apparently the movement outside did not wake him up.

The people in the escort agency moved lightly and quickly, and they started to leave in less than a quarter of an hour.

Zheng Yi lifted the curtain of the car and glanced at the motionless tent, with a smile on his face, it seemed that these two people really did not come for them.

An escort stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Eldest young master, the little girl opened the tent to take a look, and now she's lying down again, she probably won't chase us anymore."

Zheng Yi nodded in satisfaction, "Let's go, get to the capital early and rest assured."

As soon as the guards left, Li Baolu didn't dare to sleep. Although her eyes were closed, her ears kept paying attention to the movement outside, so she woke up as soon as Gu Jingyun got up.

Gu Jingyun carefully took away Li Baolu's hand, and as soon as he lowered his head, he met her pair of clear eyes, and there was no trace of sleepiness in those eyes.

Gu Jingyun threw her hand away unceremoniously, "Since you're awake, why don't you get up?"

"I didn't wake up, I just didn't sleep well." Li Baolu got up and twisted her neck, and said, "I don't feel comfortable sleeping on the ground, next time we can try sleeping in the car."

Gu Jingyun didn't answer. He opened the tent and got out. When he raised his eyes, he saw the empty camp opposite. His pupils shrank, and he pointed to the opposite side and asked, "Where's the person?"

"Let's go. People left as soon as the fifth watch arrived. It's been an hour now. They are walking. Do you want to catch up?"

Gu Jingyun said thoughtfully: "No, we will go our own way, there is no need to rush."

Li Baolu yawned, then crawled out and began packing the tent.

Gu Jingyun played a set of Wuqinxi on the spot, then pointed to the pot and said: "I want to eat egg pancakes this morning."

Li Baolu couldn't be bothered by this, she lifted the water bag and said, "I'll fetch water and come back to wash you up, your husband is so angry, I'll do it for you when I come back." After a few jumps, she disappeared before Gu Jingyun's eyes.

Gu Jingyun picked up some hay slowly, then cut the flint and lit it, and then Li Baolu came back with two water bags.

After the young couple washed their faces, a water bag was emptied. Li Baolu poured the boiled water that had been boiled and cooled last night into the water bag, and then used the pan to pancake.

This is what the bodyguards have never understood, rushing, hurrying, the word "hurry" emphasizes speed, who would toss about these things on the road?

At this time, the weather is hot and dry food is difficult to put away, but the dried cakes, steamed buns and dried meat can be kept for a long time, as long as they are soaked in boiling water, they can be eaten, and the taste is still acceptable.

As for water, not to mention going out, even at home, there are very few people who seriously boil the water before drinking it. Except for making tea, who doesn't just take a ladle and drink it?

Boil the water one night in advance like Li Baolu, let it cool down and put the water in the water bag, that is purely full.

How much effort and time wasted until all these were done?

Anyway, when Li Baolu and Gu Jingyun had eaten and drank enough, packed up their things and put them in the car to start their journey, the sky was only slightly bright at first, but the morning glow had already begun to appear in the sky, and soon a big red round cake would jump from the top of the mountain come out……

Li Baolu and Gu Jingyun were not in a hurry, they walked leisurely, took a rest when they encountered a town, replenished consumables, and felt the local customs and customs; when they encountered a village, they went in for a night, By the way, visit the local clan ancestral hall, listen to the old people in the village talk about the ancient times, and talk about farming and mulberry; when you are not in the village or behind the shop, find a place with green mountains and green waters for camping.

The two of them visited the night market in the city, listened to strange stories around the old people in the small mountain village, and even lay side by side on the grass to count the stars and watch the moon.

Of course, Gu Jingyun thought that he was watching the sky and deducing the weather.

According to his forecast, they managed to avoid three rains and bought several large watermelons in advance before the poisonous sun scorched people and prepared them in the car.

Just when Li Baolu thought they could reach Hangzhou smoothly all the way, Gu Jingyun's prediction failed, and they were showered with rainwater.

Bean-sized raindrops swept across his face with the strong wind. Li Baolu half closed his eyes in pain. Gu Jingyun was about to open the car door to come out. Sanliang Coptis chinensis, see if you are suffering, why don't you go in quickly, don't you think my place is not messy enough?"

Gu Jingyun gritted his teeth, went back to look through the luggage, and found a piece of oilcloth after a while, and hurriedly opened the car door to put it on her body.

Li Baolu's whole body was already drenched, but hanging an oilcloth over her head could block some of the rain, so she didn't stop it.

She squinted her eyes to try to identify the way in the rain, and held the rein firmly, for fear that the mule would run away if it didn't listen to it.

There are dense forests on both sides, and now the thunder and lightning are flickering, she dare not go under the tree, what if she is struck to death by lightning instead of being drenched by rain?
