436 Permafrost

"I inquired, they will leave early tomorrow morning, only a team of about a dozen people!"

In a remote and narrow cave in the west of Greenforest Town, a person rushed in and said in a low voice.

"Only a dozen people!" The cave was pitch black, and a group of people looked up together, as if a dark and hungry flame had been lit in the cave.

"It's our chance. In the middle, a thin, thin, tattered man in his twenties said, "I went out with the camels last night and saw it with my own eyes." Each of those people had a bag of money, and they bought a lot of things in town, something to eat and wear, what a bunch of them!"

"Yes, I saw it too!" the camel eagerly confirmed, he was also about the same age, and there was a baby's fist-sized tumor on his forehead, which was very conspicuous, "They have money, and after buying things, there is a lot left, and they can't spend it all!"

Even if these people have a few dollars, they are a copper plate broken into a few flowers, and they never know what it is like to spend all the money.

Hearing this, everyone's eyes began to glow, but there was also a pointed face that was not carried away, and asked vigilantly: "If you want to say that we have also seen those who have come to serve before, there may be a few rich, but how can everyone in a team be rich? Could it be that there is a backstage, don't ......?"

He only reminded a few words, and was immediately interrupted: "It's useless to think so much! Out of Green Forest Town, who can control whom? Let's find an opportunity, grab something, turn around and run, who can find us again!"

The camel followed with sarcasm: "Wu Mouse, if you instigate you, get out, don't delay the brothers to make money!"

"I'm a fart!" Wu Mouse stood up angrily and pulled off his right shoulder, "Do you have a little conscience when you say this? If Lao Tzu hadn't helped you block the knife last time, you would have been hacked to death by the surname Lei!"

The camel looked at the scar on his thin shoulder, shrunk his neck, and muttered unconvinced: "I also helped you block the knife......

"Of course you are not guts, you are soft in the intestines. The thin man looked at Wu Mouse and said, "Do you think they came to work, and it was hard to earn some money, and it was too unjust to be robbed." But also think about it, when your mother-in-law and two babies starved to death one by one, no one came to feel sorry for you. ”

Wu Mouse stopped talking. After a few moments, he wiped his face vigorously and crouched on the ground.

"I know you still have the same thoughts as Wu Mouse, but you remember them all for me. We didn't come out to work for our own good food and spicy food, and there were chickens to feed in the cave. The thin man said calmly, touched a black gnocchi from the corner, and gnawed on it with an expressionless face.

The pimple was black with a little yellow mixed in it, like the color of earth.

............

Early the next morning, Jiang Wangfeng's surprised voice sounded outside the cave.

"And the car?"

There was a two-horse cart parked in front of them, the horse was a little thin and the car was a little broken, but it could definitely fit eighteen of them if it was squeezed.

"Don't think about good things. Huang Jiangguan saw his thoughts at a glance, and reminded coldly, "This car is for loading, not pulling people." ”

"What is it?" Jiang Wangfeng didn't care either, and actively participated in the team's business.

"A cart of stones. You can act on the opportunity and use it cheaply. When Huang Jiangguan said this, he looked at Xu Wen.

Xu Wen looked at him, realized something, and nodded in understanding.

"Of course, there are some daily necessities in the car for your trip, and you can use them as you see fit. Of course, you have to take care of your own proportions, and there is no replenishment when you run out. Huang Jiangguan reminded.

Jiang Wangfeng's eyes lit up, and he looked like he wanted to climb up immediately to see something. Xu San pulled him, took the booklet from the craftsman's hand, and responded, "Yes." ”

A group of eighteen people set out, and after receiving the task yesterday, they asked the craftsman to confirm the work they had received along the way, and exchanged the work for remuneration.

They had to get a total of 3,000 points to end their service, and up to now, the highest number of points per person was of course Xu Wen, a total of 312 points.

Last time in the Dragon Temple was a special situation, Huang Jiangguan explained at the beginning that their salary this time was not as high as last time, and each point was only converted into ten copper coins, and it would be the same in the future, and it would not be changed again.

They weren't disappointed, that's what they expected.

Under normal circumstances, the apprenticeship period of this kind is three years. Take three thousand pieces of work in three years, and each work is ten copper plates, and when folded out, it is thirty taels of silver.

can earn thirty taels of silver in three years, which is an extremely rich income, far exceeding the previous brothers and sisters.

Sure enough, as rumored, the imperial court has paid special attention to craftsmen in recent years, and it can be seen from this salary.

Of course, Xu Wen's money is the most, but the others are not small. In this era, the spending power of money is really high.

After getting the money, they saved some of it and planned to ask someone to take it home when someone returned, and they took some of it out and bought some things for the road.

The Western Desert in winter is really bitter cold, and if you don't prepare well, I'm afraid it's really difficult to get through.

In addition to this, each of them bought some simple tools for writing practice, such as slate pens, and added them to their already heavy luggage.

The changes this month has brought to them are not just some knowledge.

Early the next morning, they set off.

At the same time, other service teams also set off from Green Forest Town and headed for all directions of the Western Desert.

If you have the opportunity to look down from above, you will definitely see countless long yellow snakes winding out of the green forest, swimming in all directions with a little smoke and dust from the frozen soil.

No matter where these craftsmen come from, whether they get opportunities or injustices, it is in this way that human skills and civilization go to all corners of the world.

But after they set off, they realized that the journey would not be easy for anyone.

Xu asked them that group of eighteen people, even in the Western Desert team, was the strongest, most valued, and most well-prepared.

Even so, they walked very hard - it was too cold.

If you don't cover your face, your breath will form ice crystals in the air, and then you will be sucked into your nose, which will irritate your nose and cause pain. Every exposed part felt as if it had been cut with a knife.

When he first came out of Green Forest Town, Jiang Wangfeng brought the heat of the town and the spirit to tell jokes. It didn't take long for him to be quiet, burying his head and dragging his heavy steps forward.

It's a little better when there's no wind, but once the wind blows, it's really torture.

In the middle of the wind, they walked to a hill and saw several abandoned caves, and the group hid in them as if they had found a treasure.

They lit a fire in the cave and kept it warm for a while.

"It's so cold, it's so cold, it's freezing me. "Jiang Wangfeng is a standard southerner, at most the winter is hot and humid, how have I ever seen this kind of cold. His face was blue from the cold, and he kept rubbing his hands around the fire.

When Xu Wen was in another world, he had been to the Northeast in winter, but he had seen this kind of low temperature. But back then, every home was heated, and cities had a heat island effect, which was much better than it is now.

He nodded in agreement, and let out a long breath with white mist, but he couldn't help but think to himself, they all felt that it was so difficult, what about Dongfang Lei and them?

It stands to reason that the two teams are in one direction, and they should not be far away......

I didn't run into it along the way, and I was unlucky.

"It wasn't like this in previous years, but this year it's a bit colder. "The yellow craftsman officer arranged a guide for them, a local, very experienced. He flicked the fire and shook his head.

After the fire and the dry food, they continued on the road, the sound of the car was noisy, and the empty winter desert became more and more cold and lonely.

After only walking for a while, Xu Wen felt that there seemed to be something in the distance, which made him subconsciously shiver.

The guide also found out, he frowned, squinted his eyes and looked over there, and after a while, he also shivered, and said, "It's a road corpse!"
