Cheng Ling was looking forward to solving the puzzle and chose to look at the Zhangjiagou map first.

The collected map is about ten inches long and wide, square, neither too big nor too small. It is presented on a piece of smooth, slightly yellowed paper. The scale bar in the upper left corner is clearly marked.

This is the drawing method of modern maps, which is undoubtedly more clear and precise than ancient maps.

Cheng Ling felt that his gathering ability was really magical. What was its principle? He couldn't figure it out, so he could only regard it as a gift from God and study it slowly when he had the opportunity in the future.

She studied the map carefully.

The main subject of this map is of course Zhangjiagou. The terrain of Zhangjiagou, where there are mountains, where there is water, where there are roads, where there are fields, and where there are houses, are all clearly marked.

Some houses even have the name of the owner written in thin simplified characters next to them, such as the Li Zheng family, the patriarch's family, etc...

It’s simply an accurate satellite cloud picture!

But these are not the focus of Cheng Ling's attention. What she mainly looks at is the area around Zhangjiagou.

To the north of Zhangjiagou, over the mountains thirty miles away, you will reach Ping County!

The county to which Zhangjiagou belongs is Lu County.

It turns out that the refugee Zhang is from Lu County.

Cheng Ling's heart suddenly shivered.

Zhang, a person from Lu County, came to the mountains of Ping County and became a refugee, and even turned into a cannibal... What does this mean?

This shows that Lu County must also have suffered a disaster, and it may even be a disaster even more serious than that in Lou County!

Cheng Ling's heart skipped a beat, and she looked at the map carefully again.

The main body of the map is Zhangjiagou. Only Zhangjiagou has been mapped in detail. The rest of the surrounding area only has main routes and general terrain. It is naturally much simpler than Zhangjiagou.

But it can also reflect a lot of information.

For example, the mountain where Cheng Ling and the others are now.

The name of this mountain is Pingming Mountain. Pingming Mountain is a large mountain running east-west with undulating mountains. It starts from the west of Wei County in the east and ends in the west... Wherever it ends in the west, the map does not indicate it.

But Cheng Ling knew that Pingming Mountain divided Ping County and Lu County into north and south.

Ping County is in the north of the mountain, and Lu County is in the south of the mountain!

If you want to travel between the two counties, going over the mountains is undoubtedly the shortest route. But if you don't want to go over the mountains, you can take a detour from Wei County to Ping County.

That's all the information on the map, but through his own memory, Cheng Ling also knew that after escaping from Lou County, he passed through Zhu County and Wei County.

In this way, Cheng Ling clarified the general route from Lou County to Zhu County, Wei County, and then to Ping County and Lu County.

She exhaled softly, passed the map through the cover of her bag, and took it back into space.

The next thing we look at is the business map of businessman Liang.

This Xingshang map is obviously not as detailed as the Zhangjiagou map, but the geographical scope it shows is wider.

From Lou County, to Ping County, to Yun'an County, and then to the north, you will reach Chixia City.

And Chixia City is the city of Yunchuan County!

Chixia Castle is located due north of Yunchuan County, guarding its key transportation points, and further north is Shenchuan River.

After Shenchuan, there is the Gyeonggi area.

It's a pity that the word "Gyeonggi" is only roughly written on the map about the Gyeonggi area. As for the specific route and terrain of this area, it is not shown.

But that's enough.

Seeing this, Cheng Ling finally went from having a blank look at the world to having a preliminary understanding of its administrative geography.

She let out a breath and took back the map in her hand.

At this time, we looked at Mu Sanniang and others. Mu Sanniang had already cleaned the wolf meat, and Cheng Dani and her two children had picked up a lot of dry firewood and half a frame of wild vegetables.

Hong Guangyi had boiled a pot of water, while Cheng Erni was checking their rattan backpacks.

While inspecting her, he said distressedly: "It's all worn out and deformed. We need to pick up more materials and re-weave it."

This is what it means to be on the run, everything is lacking on the way, and you have to collect everything constantly. Many of the things that are made locally are very fragile and have to be remade after only a few uses.

Cheng Dani bit her lip and said, "It's not difficult to re-knit it. There are willow trees by the river. I'll pull some willow branches over and the knitted basket will be stronger."

Mu Sanniang looked at the pile of washed wolf meat and felt a little worried.

Now that the weather is hot, the wolf meat won't last long even if it's salted, not to mention they don't have enough to keep their promise.

How to preserve these wolf meat?

Cheng Ling came over and said softly: "Auntie, I found a map from the previous refugees."

Mu Sanniang raised her head and her eyes lit up.

Cheng Ling said: "Auntie, let's go down to the middle of the mountain later, walk a hundred miles east along the foot of the mountain, and then climb over the mountain to the north. There is a road over there that leads to Yun'an County."

In other words, they have to go east along Pingming Mountain, bypass Ping County, and go directly to Yun'an County.

You can't go to Lu County, and you can't stay in Ping County. Yun'an County is not far from Chixia City, but you can give it a try.

Counties like this that are closer to the county seat generally have better policies and facilities than remote areas.

As Cheng Ling spoke, he also explained the geographical location of Yun'an County to Mu Sanniang in detail.

Mu Sanniang's eyes sparkled when she heard this, and she immediately said: "Then cook all the wolf meat, smoke it in the sun, and dry it in the sun. It can be preserved for a longer period of time, at least to support us through this hundred years."

inside!"

Cheng Ling said: "We only have two clay pots. I'm afraid we won't be able to cook so much wolf meat before dark. I will build a few more stoves and find some thin stone slabs. I can boil the wolf meat on the stone slabs and it will be edible."

use."

This was a good idea. Mu Sanniang nodded repeatedly after hearing this.

Cheng Ling took action, and she assigned Hong Guangyi to say: "Brother Hong, please let the boiling water in the clay pot cool down, and use the clear part to scrub and scrub for Brother Shi."

There were many small wounds on Shi Hong's body, but they were not as serious as the knife wounds on his arms, so Cheng Ling had not treated them before.

She couldn't handle it either. If she really wanted to clean all the wounds on Shi Hong's body, she would have to consume all the saline and iodine in Cheng Ling's space.

In addition, Hong Guangyi actually had many small wounds on his body.

However, they were used to the rough roads on their way to escape, and sometimes they didn't bother to care about minor injuries.

Hong Guangyi quickly responded that he was not very good at finding work, but if someone assigned him to do something, he could do it very efficiently.

Here, Cheng Ling was busy, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of the wild vegetables Cheng Dani was cleaning.

There was something among the wild vegetables that looked familiar. Cheng Ling was moved in her heart. She quickly pointed at the green handful and said, "Sister, bring this to me and let me have a look."

Cheng Dani raised a few wild vegetables in her hand and brought them over. Cheng Ling took them and was a little surprised: "This is Xiaoji!"

"Tang Materia Medica" records: Xiaoji specializes in blood.
