After a tiring day, the dart masters sat around the campfire and talked and laughed. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 There is an iron pot on the campfire, and the muddy tea is boiling in it. Whoever is thirsty from dry food will scoop out a bowl of bitter tea soup from the iron pot to moisten his throat.

Hua Lianyue has also become familiar with several dart masters in the past two days, and she has also learned from them to sit on the ground. Take a bite of the dried dough cake, and then take a sip of the medicinal tea soup.

It is said that in addition to the tea leaves, some herbs are added to these tea soups. I heard that when the Ding Family Dart Bureau was just established, those dart masters have always been used to being casual, and on the way to darts, as long as they are thirsty, no matter what kind of water they meet, they will take a sip and drink it first. As a result, there were many darts because the dart master was not adapted, resulting in diarrhea and delayed the trip.

The Ding family dart bureau also accompanied a lot of silver for this, and later I didn't know where Ding Dart consulted the divine doctor and prescribed a prescription. In the future, when the dart masters dart, they are not allowed to drink water casually, but must drink this kind of tea soup. It is also strange to say that since drinking this tea soup, few people will have diarrhea and delay their trip because of the water and soil.

Hua Lianyue had something in her heart, which naturally affected her appetite, and she was full after barely eating a piece of bread. However, the tea soup with the smell of medicine was quite her appetite, so she took a lot of small sips.

Before the night was dark, she dragged her tired body back to her tent. I thought that a distraction would make me lose sleep. Unexpectedly, my head was next to the pillow and I fell asleep.

This sleep should have been stable until dawn, but because she drank too much tea soup before going to bed, she was awakened. She clamped her legs tightly, clutched her stomach and kept turning from side to side, like a baked cake on an iron pot. It's a pity that the expected sunshine did not appear, but the thick sleepiness has been tossed away.

She sighed helplessly, and had to put on her robe and get out of the tent. At this time, most of the dart masters had gone back to their tents to sleep, and there were still a few fires burning, and some of the night watchmen were holding their scabbards and sitting around the fire with sleepiness, and everything seemed very calm.

The autumn wind gradually rose, blowing the red lanterns hanging outside the warehouse and swaying gently, and the already not very bright light became more and more erratic. Hua Lianyue shuddered inexplicably, and hurriedly covered her stomach to find a dilapidated clean room, and hurriedly solved the problem.

The cool autumn wind blew away the last shred of her sleep, and after a moment of thought, she slowly climbed up the wooden staircase next to the warehouse.

These warehouses are so tall that they are almost as tall as those of the small three-story buildings in the town. In addition, there are no peaks or particularly tall ancient trees in the surrounding area, so the view is extremely wide.

Walking up the stairs to the top of the warehouse, she saw in the distance that in the dark night, the lights in Zhulong Town were bright, like countless shining stars falling into the world. Although I couldn't hear the movement of the town, these bright lights were enough to prove that there must be many people in Zhulong Town who had not slept at this moment.

"Miss, watch out for the steps!"

Just when Hua Lianyue was stunned, she heard Ade's voice sounding under the warehouse. She frowned secretly, why did Zhong Lingxiu come to climb this warehouse in the middle of the night, could it be that she also saw Liu Hui in the horse team today, so she also wanted to climb high and look at him from afar?

Hua Lianyue's heart stagnated slightly, saying that she wanted to forget it completely, but she still felt uncomfortable in her heart!

She really didn't want to face Zhong Lingxiu head-on, but unfortunately the warehouse relied on this ancient bamboo ladder up and down, unless she had the ability to fly to the sky, otherwise it was unavoidable.

After hesitating for a moment, Hua Lianyue simply turned around and swaggered down the stairs, since there was nowhere to avoid, she simply didn't avoid it.

Zhong Lingxiu wore a moon-white cloak and a hood on his head. In the night, most of her face was obscured by the shadow of the hood, and only those eyes shone brightly in the night.

When she saw Hua Liyue who came down from the warehouse without a sound, her steps were obviously stagnant, but Hua Liyue passed by her without squinting.

Ah Dai followed behind Zhong Lingxiu, and when she saw Hua Lianyue's eyes lit up, she beckoned: "Brother Hua, why haven't you slept so late?" She said to Zhong Lingxiu again: "Miss, I went to save me with the young dart head today, and this big brother Hua!"

"You..... There are not many surnames. Zhong Lingxiu was touched by this surname, and her sharp eyes stabbed at Hua Lianyue's face.

Despite the dim light, Hua Lianyue's bland face still made her see clearly. Even though the face was very different from the one she remembered, a strange feeling rose in her heart.

"There may not be many other places, but in our village, eight out of ten households have the surname Hua, which is not a lot at all. Hua Lianyuepi smiled twice.

"I don't know where Brother Hua's hometown is?" Zhong Lingxiu asked seemingly casually.

"Qinzhou, Yukunshan!"

Hua Lianyue reported the name of the place indiscriminately, and she felt that Zhong Lingxiu's gaze kept rolling over her, and she couldn't help frowning secretly. I heard Adele say casually: "Brother Hua, but I can't sleep, so I came out to enjoy this rare moonlight?"

"I'm a rough man, I don't appreciate any moonlight. Hua Lianyue learned the tone of Uncle Ming of Baihua Valley, and said extremely rudely: "I was sleeping well, but I suddenly had a stomach upset, so I found a quiet place..... Hey, hey!"

Zhong Lingxiu looked at her with interest, but was quickly disgusted by her two hehes. She immediately turned her head away in disgust, and pulled out a silk handkerchief to cover her mouth and nose.

Ade's expression was also condensed, she immediately covered her mouth and nose with her hands, and exclaimed in a low voice: "Could it be that your so-called quiet place is on the top of this warehouse?"

Hua Lianyue didn't seem to notice the dislike of the master and servant, she deliberately got closer with a wicked taste, and said very enthusiastically: "This place is good, with a wide field of vision and fresh air." The most rare thing is that any smell is dispersed by the wind, and there is no need to be afraid of being smoked. Are you like me, who come to find a quiet place in the middle of the night without sleeping, huh?"

"Shut up!" Zhong Lingxiu hurriedly took a few steps back, she couldn't bear it anymore, and scolded: "It's so vulgar, it's so disgusting! Ade, let's go!" Unfortunately, her voice was too gentle, even if it was a scolding, it didn't seem to have any momentum.

Zhong Lingxiu seemed to be really afraid that he would step on something unknown in the dark, and he didn't care about getting on the top of the warehouse, so he turned around and left in a hurry.

Hua Lianyue deliberately shouted loudly in the back: "Hey, your girl's family can't hold it like this, there will be something wrong." ”

In the dark night, there was a faint angry rebuke from Adey: "Shut up!"

Hua Lianyue really closed her mouth as good as a stream, but she couldn't hide the smug smile on her face. But after thinking about it carefully, is this disgusting to others at the same time, but also disgusting to herself? Thinking of this, she couldn't laugh anymore.

The autumn breeze suddenly rose, and Hua Lianyue couldn't help but shudder. She hurriedly wrapped up her clothes, shrunk her neck and went back to the tent to sleep.

Soon after, the east gradually turned white, and a dazzling glow dyed the white clouds as bright red as roses. The men of the dart board were already busy, shouting, neighing, and the sound of wheels was endless.

There are also many villagers from nearby farmhouses who are also carrying crops harvested from their farms to nearby towns to sell.

An old man carried two baskets of watery radishes and walked in front of Hua Lianyue. Hua Lianyue saw that the radishes were white and chubby, and they were very cute, with undried water droplets on them. She couldn't help but be greedy, so she casually took out two radishes from the basket with green skins, and threw a few copper plates to the old man.

The old man smiled and said, "Thank you, little brother." My radish was just pulled out this morning, so it's all watery. ”

Hua Liyue inserted the radish clean with her sleeve and bit off a large piece with a click. This radish is moist and sweet and very refreshing, just like eating autumn pears, and has a slightly more spicy taste than autumn pears.

Hua Lianyue chewed the radish and looked at the chaotic situation in front of her, but she inexplicably gave birth to a kind of pride in her heart!

There is no fine clothes and food, and there is no careful service of big and small pairs. Mixing with these men who have to run around every day in order to live makes her experience another passion for life.

The dart team gathered in Zhulong Town and embarked on a long journey again. In the days that followed, Hua Liyue was no longer lazy on the carriage. She learned the appearance of those dart masters, and made a lot of efforts along the way, crossing mountains and rivers, eating, staying and camping.

At night, lying alone in her cowhide tent, she was often so tired that she didn't even want to lift her fingers, but she felt a sense of contentment.

As for Zhong Lingxiu and the like, she had long been thrown out of the clouds, and she didn't know her. Occasionally met in the horse team, she also passed by without squinting.

Zhong Lingxiu had a familiar feeling with her, and had been secretly observing her. After such a long time, I have to admit that she is indeed a qualified dart master. Because whether it is words and deeds, food, clothing, housing and behavior, Hua Liyue's performance is completely no different from that of men. And he is also an extremely vulgar man, and there is no trace of a woman at all.

The farther north you go, the colder it gets. Although it was also autumn, only one robe was needed during the sun, but the people of the north wore various leather jackets to avoid the cold.

Hua Lianyue also has a jacket, which is really frozen, and she bought it in a small town. The most common sheepskin jacket is light and warm. The wool on the outside is fluffy and soft, and Hua Liyue likes to touch it with the palm of her hand, and it's extremely interesting to itch.

Unfortunately, even the smallest sheepskin jacket was a little fat on her, and she had to wrap it tightly around it with a cloth belt. It looked like a leather boy stealing adult clothes, but it made a few dart masters who were familiar with her laugh at her.

I remember that Ding Yongan also bought the two most expensive fox furs in the shop at that time, although they were not the best fox skins, and they also cost him hundreds of taels of silver. And these two fox furs were sent to Zhong Lingxiu's carriage by him.

Ding Darttou's face turned black when he learned about this, and Hua Lianyue speculated with ill intentions that the fee charged by Ding Darthead to the Zhong family was only a few hundred taels. was returned by his own son again, and after this trip, the Zhong family's deal was a complete loss.

It is also strange to say that since leaving Zhulong Town, Ding Yongan seems to have been hooked by Zhong Lingxiu. He circled around her carriage all day long, and was reluctant to leave half a step, so he also delayed the affairs of the dart team.

Zhong Lingxiu kept hanging the curtain of the car and avoided it, and everything she said was for Adai to convey, obviously because her enthusiasm for this young dart head was unbearable.

Those dart masters are all rude men, and when they see this, they will inevitably laugh at Ding Yongan for being useless, he can't even take a woman, and he doesn't mind being still stubborn and doing his own thing.

Ding Darttou secretly reprimanded Ding Yongan many times for this, but it was useless. He used to be afraid of Ding Darthead, but now he only knows that he is clumsy and wants to win the favor of his sweetheart, but he has never been able to get the essentials, just like a young man who is just starting to fall in love, and Ding Darthead's teachings have long been thrown behind his ears.

After all, it is his own son, although he is full of ugliness, Ding Darttou can't really do anything to him, so he can only go with him.

On this day, it was getting late, and the team set up camp in a wide reed field according to their itinerary. It was only a five-day journey from the border pass, and although everyone was tired, they still felt refreshed. After completing this dart, I have to make a lot of money. However, the vast majority of people will choose to buy some medicinal herbs, spices, animal skins, and precious stones from those herdsmen.

These things are worthless in the hands of herdsmen, but they are rare to bring to the rich Central Plains. Once these things are sold, I don't know how many times the profit will be multiplied. It is also these considerable profits that can support the dart masters to take the risk and go through this difficult journey.

It was the first time Hua Lianyue knew this, so she listened to it with relish. She sat by the fire, her hands wrapped around the flickering bright fire, her almost frozen hands warming again. A forty-year-old dart master pushed her and asked, "Brother Hua, are you here for the first time?"

"Yes, I wanted to come before, but I never had the chance. This time, it was also the kindness of the dart head that would take me for a ride. Hua Liyue said honestly.

"No wonder, we've talked so much, and all you know is stupid to listen. The dart master smiled and said: "When the goods are successfully handed over and the money is received, you come with me, and I will take you to buy these, so as to ensure that the goods are genuine." ”

"Thank you, but not anymore. Hua Lianyue smiled slightly and said, "After all, it's the first time I've come to the Northland, and I still want to travel, and I won't go back with the dart team." ”

Hua Lianyue's categorical refusal obviously surprised the dart master. But he didn't ask much, nodded, and went back to talk to the others.

As the night deepened, Hua Lianyue found that there were more than twice as many dart masters as before. She was a little strange, and only after asking did she know that the closer she got to the border pass, the more chaotic it became, and those herdsmen often secretly bypassed the border guards and robbed passing merchants. Of course, there are also many people in the vicinity who pretend to be herdsmen to rob, and those merchants who are afraid of robbery will organize their own armed forces to resist, so there are often small-scale bloody incidents.

Because whether it is the local people or those herdsmen, they all know that the court will still turn a blind eye to small-scale armed fighting. If the matter becomes bigger, it will attract a large number of officers and soldiers to encircle and suppress it.

Hua Lianyue suddenly realized that some merchants wanted to join the dart team with a lot of silver taels along the way, but they were strongly rejected by Ding Darthead. Those merchants were not in a hurry, so they simply followed the dart team with a cheeky face. When the dart team rests, they also rest, and when the dart team sets off, they also set off. It turned out that he took a fancy to the strength of the armed forces of this dart team and wanted to seek protection.

The reeds in front of me are lush and tall, and I don't know how many corpses have been buried underneath.
