Chapter 134 There is a situation ahead
Second Aunt has improved the clogs. The upper is made of waterproof cloth, which covers the toes and heels to prevent them from being easily soiled by external debris.
The sole of the shoe has been raised another level on the original basis, so even if there is a lot of water on the road, your feet will not get wet when you walk.
Although clogs are made of wood, Second Aunt skillfully hollowed out the inside of the sole, leaving only the edge of the sole made of solid wood, and the middle is hollow.
It's very light to wear and doesn't feel bulky at all!
Lu Qingqing carried Lu Yaoyao in a backpack on the horse's belly and walked at the end of the team, while the others walked in front in wooden clogs.
Clogs are usually worn by common people. Liang Pei is from Quanzhou and grew up in the city. He has never been a farmer, so he doesn't know how to wear clogs.
Originally, he was walking in the front and leading the way, but he couldn't control the balance of the clogs well, and his buttocks twisted and turned as he walked, and he soon fell behind Lu Qingqing and Lu Yaoyao.
Lu Qingqing looked at his crooked and funny movements and wanted to laugh, but seeing that Liang Pei was walking very seriously, she forced herself to laugh and said:
"You're not used to wearing clogs, why don't you just ride a horse?"
During this period, black horses were only used to carry supplies and were rarely ridden by people.
They didn't have much supplies left. Due to the hot weather, a lot of meat and freshly picked corn had gone bad, and Meixian didn't allow the victims to go in and purchase them!
Now, the only supplies they had left were rice, flour, wild yams, and pickled fish and meat.
All these things added up weigh about 40 kilograms and can be carried in just a backpack.
There were two backpacks on both sides of the black horse's belly. Lu Yaoyao sat on one of them, and the other one was filled with supplies. The horse's back was empty, with nothing on it.
When Liang Pei heard Lu Qingqing calling him to ride a horse, he originally wanted to, but looking at the black horse that had been fattened up for a while, he couldn't bear to see it suffer so much, so he shook his head and said:
"It's just a short distance ahead. I can do it."
How could Lu Qingqing not know that he was a true horse lover? Since he didn't want the horse to be too tired, Lu Qingqing didn't say anything else.
They stepped carefully in their clogs, without their legs touching the blood on the ground at all. They quickly walked out of the gate of the dilapidated temple and came to the main road. They took off their clogs and changed into the light straw sandals they had worn before.
Second Aunt also made improvements to the straw sandals. The toes and heels are covered, and there is a strap on the upper to tie it around the leg to secure it, so it won't fall off even if you walk very fast!
The soles of the clogs were covered with blood from the wolf. Lu Qingqing was afraid that there would still be blood residue even after washing them, so she suggested throwing them away, and everyone agreed.
In years of famine, even a thread was extremely precious and wooden clogs had long been sold out on the market.
They just threw away six pairs of clogs, which was really a waste of resources!
But Lu Qingqing was very pleased that they all knew how to make choices and knew the importance of things.
My second uncle was afraid that the clogs he had taken off would be picked up by others and might become poisonous, so he took a stick, picked them up and threw them into the dense bushes.
In the early morning, the sun rises slowly, and the dew on the leaves of the bushes on both sides of the road sparkles with crystal clear luster in the sunlight!
When the clogs were thrown in, the bushes were shaken violently, and the dewdrops on the leaves were also shaken before falling to the ground!
On the ground, the red footprints of the retreating wolves were clearly visible. The footprints were red because when the wolves retreated, they dragged away some of the bodies of the wolves, and the blood from the bodies dyed the ground red.
Wolves are highly social animals, and they particularly value loyalty among their companions!
Even if their companions die, they will drag the bodies away and bury them, and will not let humans destroy them.
There are dense bushes on both sides of the main road, and behind the bushes are tall trees that reach the sky!
Judging from the footprints of the retreating wolves, they went to the front of the road and did not enter the woods!
Just, wherever they are?
To Lu Qingqing and others, the enemies are in the dark and they are in the light!
Afraid that they would suddenly attack, Lu Qingqing suggested letting the black horse walk ahead to explore the way.
It is an animal, and a war horse. It has received certain training and has a certain perception of the unknown dangers ahead.
Sure enough, the black horse led them for a distance on the main road, and its huge body suddenly stopped in front of them, staring straight ahead with its big eyes, and did not move forward.
Upon seeing this, everyone immediately drew their weapons.
However, when they came to the place where the black horse's eyes were looking, they couldn't help but gasp again and again.
In front of us is a pile of dead bodies!
They all died from being bitten to death by the sharp teeth of some animal. The wounds went from the head to the tips of the toes. There was almost no good meat left on their bodies.
If it weren't for the torn clothes nearby, they wouldn't have been able to tell that this was a person.
"Did these people all die in the mouths of the evil wolves?"
The way these people died was so horrific that it reminded me of the terrible wolf pack we encountered last night.
Yang Liuqing quickly hugged Lu Yaoyao and covered her eyes to prevent her from seeing.
Lu Yaoyao has gained a lot of weight and grown taller recently, so Yang Liuqing couldn't hold her for a while.
Lu Yaoyao also said to her very firmly: "Second Aunt, I'm not afraid."
Not only was the little girl not afraid, she was also eager to try and leaned forward to get a closer look.
Lu Qingqing quickly dragged her back:
"You and Second Aunt stay here, we'll go over and take a look, don't come over!"
Lu Qingqing said this with a certain seriousness.
Lu Yaoyao was still afraid of the serious Lu Qingqing and did not dare to move forward.
Lu Hu also said a few words to Yang Liuqing, then walked in front carefully and vigilantly, with Lu Qingqing, Lu Yuanzheng and Liang Pei following closely behind!
The closer they got to the corpse, the stronger the smell of blood became, and Lu Qingqing almost couldn't help vomiting!
I finally suppressed my nausea and walked over to the corpse. It was late spring, the season when mosquitoes and various flying insects were most prevalent.
There was already a swarm of flying insects on the corpses, sucking their flesh.
When they approached, the flying insects were frightened and flew away with a buzzing sound, but they refused to leave and kept hovering over the corpse with a fierce look in their eyes.
Some particularly annoying flying insects thought that Lu Qingqing and others were coming to steal their food.
These tiny creatures were so bold that they actually flew over to attack them!
Several people quickly tore off a piece of cloth from their clothes and tried hard to drive them away.
Fortunately, they were good at martial arts and did not let them get close to them, so as not to get their hands dirty with the blood from the corpses!
After driving away the flying insects, they hurried to check the corpse in front of them!
After a while, many signs appeared and everyone expressed their opinions.
"They should have been bitten to death by the pack of vicious wolves last night. They bit them first and then attacked us."
