Chapter 789 Desert Horse Bandit
Ge Changzhuang was determined to support Qian Shuozhao, so he naturally had to understand and master the child's character and character before he could decide whether to take him. After a period of observation, Ge Changzhuang found that although Qian Shuozhao's character was a little anxious and was a little careless in his work, his character was still good. The child was not arrogant or arrogant. He listened to everything he said, and he secretly corrected it. He also loved to understand it here. It was quite rare.
Ge Changzhuang put aside the matter of money firecrackers and quietly passed on the past few days in his mind. He felt that there was no mistake, so he felt a little relieved.
He said it all in the caravan. Although everyone had questions in their hearts, they would not question and put their face on their face. The impact of this matter is big or small, and it still needs to be handled!
A long caravan was marching in the desert, and the end of the line was followed by dozens of camels.
The camel looks gentle and wants it to listen to your driving force, but it is also skillful. It is different from a horse. It is sometimes gentle and sometimes too alert. Everyone was not used to it at the beginning, but later it gradually became familiar with its temperament.
They have mastered it very well now.
The desert in the northwest is not the mobile deserts and semi-flow deserts that people think of. It is closer to the characteristics of frozen and thawed deserts. It has a high altitude, deterioration of frozen soil, vegetation decline, soil degradation, mountainous land and gentle slope surfaces are broken, and the surface is exposed, causing the land and landform to appear desertified.
According to Qin Daixin's opinion, this desert is at best a moderate freeze-thaw desert with large temperature differences between day and night and seasonality, and the soil and rock mass have violent thermal expansion and contraction, causing structural damage and mass changes. Judging from wind erosion, it is not serious. In addition, the degree of exposure of the surface and landforms is moderate.
This thought only flashed in her mind and then it was suppressed again. I really couldn't explain it clearly to these ancients.
However, the sunset scenery in the desert is really beautiful.
"Xin'er, what are you thinking!"
Qin Daixin is the third among the sisters in the mansion, and the names of her sisters all end with the word "Xin". So in the Qin Mansion, everyone is used to calling their sisters or small characters. Su's wife, and the wet nurse, are used to calling her Ali. Even Murong Jing always calls her Li'er, and there is only one person who calls her Xiner.
"Sister Wan'er." Qin Daixin turned her head and looked at Ji Wan'er who caught up, and said slightly: "How is it, does your head still hurt?"
Ji Wan'er was hit by that bastard Shao Qianwen with silver. When he saw blood, he was still scary even though he used medicine. Fortunately, Ji Wan'er was a doctor herself and her medical skills were not low, so she was finally in danger.
"It's okay." Ji Wan'er was wearing a cloak with a hat and was wearing a sheepskin cloak. She covered her head with a hat and wrapped her entire head with a long towel, revealing only a pair of eyes.
In fact, she could avoid Shao Qianwen. Ji Wan'er had a girl on her body and had already heard the sound of foreign objects shooting towards her, but in order to stabilize the overall situation, she did not move, and even restrained her instinct to avoid it, and was forced to get it.
Qin Daixin admired her very much.
"The temperature in this desert is really strange. It's hot and cold. It's not dark yet, but it starts to get cold." The white breath slightly melted in front of my eyes, and a layer of white frost was formed on the long towel.
By night, the temperature will suddenly drop and become colder!
The camel was not fast, and the two rode side by side, whispering.
"As soon as Shao Qianwen dies, Weizhou may be in chaos! Xin'er, do you think we have found a scapegoat, so do you need to escape? Will people not believe what we are saying there?" After all, this matter is not a trivial matter. If you ask for a little bit of inquiries, you will know everything.
Qin Daixin's face was hidden in the long scarf and smiled quietly, saying, "Don't worry, there will be no trouble." The more unfathomable the more people with real skills are, the more they will be valued when they go there. They killed the leader of Weizhou, and not only were they not caught, but they also took off successfully. This alone would make the people on the other side flock to them!
Ji Wan'er nodded in a vague way.
Qin Daixin then turned her head and looked at the endless yellow sand and gravel in front of her, and the various rock bodies eroded by the wind, and a sense of indescribable or unknown came into her heart.
She had never heard of Shengyue Business before. After contacting her this time, she felt that this business was a bit difficult.
Without strength, who dares to take people into the desert, just to get goods. Vanna is a very dangerous place. People there are born hostile to the people of Dayong, and they may not be able to come back if they are not careful! The risk taken by Shengyue Trading Company is more than just this little bit? Merchants wandering between the two countries are most likely to be labeled as a convict of the enemy and the country. Once this crime is charged, it is a serious crime to kill the nine clans. If they are not sure of protecting themselves, who dares to act like this?
Qin Daixin recalled the man surnamed Ge, and the eyes he looked when he took in everyone, and then thought about Murong Jing's steady victory, and he immediately understood it.
She turned her head to look at Murong Jing. The guy still looked mysterious and unfathomable. Perhaps he noticed her gaze, he turned his head with some sense and fell into Qin Dai's pupils that were as ink as ink.
It was clearly a person who was wrapped in a dense and only had a pair of eyes, but he had no shape or appearance. Looking from himself, he could only see her eyes exposed and her smooth forehead. However, just like a little man wrapped like a rice dumpling, he could touch his nerves, as if every nerve in his body was restrained by her.
Murong Jing didn't say anything, he didn't wrap his headscarf, his whole face was exposed, his eyes were gone, his lips were pursed into a line, and his face was covered with a lot of wind and sand.
It was ridiculously riding on the camel, but his back was still straight and his figure was as loose as he was, and his body exuded a vigilant aura all over his body.
A wind was blowing in the distance, and a charming gust of wind and sand rushed towards everyone, with a whirring sound in his ears, and the sand particles were not big or small, making people's faces hurt. Everyone hurriedly put the long scarf on their heads, only Murong Jing's expression remained unchanged, and he was riding steadily on the camel, with only a pair of eyes narrowing slightly.
Murong Jing is a person who has been on the battlefield and has been stained with blood. This hardship in the desert is absolutely nothing to him.
After seeing this, everyone couldn't help but admire him again. After all, in everyone's hearts, he is a noble prince with a noble status and a pampered life. It is really not easy to do this.
The golden crow in the sky was about to fall to the bottom of the horizon, and the desert was shrouded in darkness. In the distance, the camel caravan stopped.
It was very dangerous to rush in the desert when it was dark. Although there was no quicksand here, and it was far less than those real desert dangers, there were still many variables. Not to mention it, on the first day of entering the desert, Qin Daixin saw several desert wolves from afar. They were staring at the camel cavalry. If it weren't for the large crowds of people, the wolves would have rushed over. But they were also quite sensible. After all, they were a small wolf pack, and the team was full of old, weak, sick and disabled. If it were a big wolf pack, as long as the wolf king gave the order, they would probably have to fight!
It was dark, and the possibility of the camel caravan being attacked by wild beasts hidden in the dark and horse bandits was greatly improved. Therefore, when in the desert, no one was rushing to the road unless he was desperate.
It seems that we are going to set up camp.
After walking with the caravan of Shengyue Trading Company for a few days, everyone also understood some rules, so they came down from the camels and prepared to find a place to rest on the leeward.
This is a relatively flat gravel area, with not very severe desertification, and strange rock bodies eroded by wind can be seen everywhere.
Pei Hu and the others were taking the necessary ingredient from the camel. Qin Daixin had nothing to do, so she looked around.
The degree of desertification here has been reduced, which is much stronger than when they first entered the desert. According to soil quality and surface performance, it will not take long before they will enter the desertified grassland and see some low and low plants, which should be not far from Vanna at that time.
Pei Hu and the others moved very quickly, and the fire had already risen and the water had been burned.
Xueqing gave Qin Daixin hot water with a shabby pottery bowl. Qin Daixin was not polite, let alone particularity. She directly carried the wind on her back and poured the hot water down.
The temperature in the desert at night is extremely low, and it is already late autumn again. It is not harmful to drink more hot water. It would be even better if you can drink some wine.
pity……
Qin Daixin secretly glanced at the wine bag hanging around Murong Jing's waist, and was secretly greedy. Someone disagreed with drinking no matter what he said, and even kept Duan Xing, Pei Hu and others in a tight manner. Everyone didn't know why they listened to him so much and refused to give her a sip of wine.
well……
Flashes of smoke floated in the desert, and a very light smell of firewood floated in the empty wilderness. When you go out, the conditions are limited. Especially in the desert, it is already a great thing to be able to eat and drink water. If you want to eat something delicious and drink spicy, go to dream!
Dinner was very simple, a large pot of thin white porridge, with big pancakes that were as hard as stone, plus pickles, a small amount of cured meat, and wine.
The wine is not as good as Qin Daixin, but everyone is eating the marinated meat tightly. Qin Daixin is very powerless about it. Does she look so delicate? She said it a few times, but everyone doesn't listen. She will still secretly send the meat to her bowl.
Qin Daixin couldn't do it, so she simply put the cured meat she didn't eat in one pocket, so that she could be considered a precaution in case of emergencies.
The cake is too hard and too dry, so you have to cut it into small pieces with a knife and soak it in the white porridge. The porridge is hot and has a lot of soup. It is not easy to swallow until the cake is softened.
This kind of life seems hard, but in fact it is nothing. In everyone's eyes, Qin Daixin is a lady from a rich family. Everyone thinks it is difficult for her to suffer such hardship. But how could they have thought that Qin Daixin crawled out of the dead in her previous life. In order to survive, even mice and lizards had eaten raw, so how could she feel that porridge and hard cakes were hard to swallow!
At this moment, bursts of horse hooves suddenly came from afar, and sharp whistles suddenly rang out, spreading far away in the wilderness. (To be continued)
