It is said that it is a camel caravan, and there are many horses in it.

Camels are okay for transportation, but if they run too slowly, the horses will have to be much more nimble.

Pity the two sick people, even if they are sick, they have to ride on horses. The two men were pale, and according to their companions, they vomited and leaked for several days, and they couldn't straighten their waists. But they had been in Shuangliu Town for several days, and the doctor in the town said that they would see each other, so they hurried again.

Hanzhou also had to face the problem of riding a horse. I really hadn't ridden a horse in my previous life, and according to the students who came back from the horse farm, the horses in the horse farm were tamed, and they didn't have a temper no matter how they got it. But this ** in front of me has been tested for a long time, how can it be the same as the horses in the horse farm.

Probably seeing her hesitation, the tall and thin man said, you touch its face, comb its mane, and it will like you.

Han Zhou tried to do it, but as soon as he touched his face, the horse sneezed, which frightened Han Zhou and jumped away. The moisture from the sneeze smeared Hanzhou's face, and she looked for something to wipe in disgust.

The men in the caravan laughed, this girl couldn't even stand a sneeze, how could she go a long distance with them?

Han Zhou ignored their laughter, with this group of rough men, it was inevitable to be laughed at by them, and it would be over if it didn't take it seriously. She approached the horse's face again, and soothed it very gently, and then slowly went down to comb the horse's mane, and at the same time leaned close to the horse's ear, and hummed softly, and the horse stood very quietly, as if listening. After singing for a while, she tried it boldly, the horse's pedal was relatively high, but she still had enough strength, she lifted her breath, grabbed the reins, jumped up, and succeeded, she relieved herself, and patted the horse's head encouragingly.

Yes, little girl! The people next to each other giggled and gave each other a look.

Han Zhou rolled her eyes in her heart, what's so difficult about this, she tamed Lao Chen is this trick.

Shuangliu Town is getting farther and farther away.

The jujube is also invisible. He didn't go any further, and went quietly while she sang to the horses.

In front of them is Xianyang, and I don't know how far it is from Xianyang.

Listening to the chatter of the people in the camel caravan, how is Suzhou, how is Liangzhou, how is Qilian Mountain, according to this, the place where it is located at this time should be the junction of Gansu and Shaanxi.

It seems that they are running the border trade. Since it is a border trade, there is no need to ask, the main goods at this time are also furs, medicinal materials and other things.

But weren't they robbed by the Huns over there?

Han Zhou carried this question in his arms and walked all the way.

Of course, the first task along the way is to please the horse. It's still the same way to please Lao Chen.

The main factors of environmental damage in these years may be earthquakes or forest fires, and as for the human factors such as war, the victims are concentrated in densely populated places such as cities, and the damage to the natural environment is not obvious.

For example, Xi'an has become one of the furnaces in the country, which has a lot to do with the fact that it is the capital of several dynasties.

According to the description of "A Fang Gong Fu": Shushan Wu, A Fang out. Covering more than 300 miles, isolated from the sky.

When you go, you must visit Afang Palace.

The two sick people were so sick that they had to stop and camp. The doctor fried the herbs he brought, and the rice was cooked. There should have been someone to take care of the sick, but there were more women in the team, so the job naturally fell on Hanzhou.

Take care of it, it's still a long way, and it's still important to get a good relationship. Although her identity is supposed to be a technical director.

Boil millet porridge, knock an egg in it, and sprinkle some salt, even if it is a sick meal. Others are treated without eggs. But the others can eat dried meat, but the two who have stomach problems can't.

If they go further west, they should be able to bring back the good things of the Western Regions, so that they will not live so hard, and they can also make a great contribution to the Chinese nation.

Hanzhou drank his porridge and chewed the fresh walnuts brought by the jujubes.

"I want to eat it too." The sick man who was lying down called Li San said.

"And me." Another patient named Ma Youcheng followed.

"You can't eat it." This is a jujube brought to me, how can I give it to you to eat, and I don't have a family to bring it. "You two have stomach problems and can't eat oily things, and walnuts are one of them. I regretted putting the eggs for you just now, the eggs are difficult to digest, I should give you white rice porridge with salt, like everyone else. Han Zhou said solemnly, with the face of a nurse in an ordinary ward.

Someone next to him laughed "poof", very gloating.

"Can you eat red dates?" Li San said again.

"yes, that one doesn't have gas." Ma Youcheng followed again.

Han Zhou wrinkled his eyebrows and glanced at the two patients, it seems that he is still not seriously ill, and he still has the heart to flirt with beautiful women?

Forget it, don't bother to care. I opened the bag and grabbed a few for them.

The two of them didn't care whether they washed it or not, they took it and ate it, and it seemed that the pleasure of the spirit was better than the pleasure of the tongue. Soon, the meal was over, and the two of them wanted more. Han Zhou had no choice but to put on the nurse's face again: "Red dates are crude fiber, eating too much is not good for the stomach, you have already eaten two, don't eat any more." ”

Someone next to him laughed again, and there was a woman on the road who was much happier.

When he was camping, Li San came to trouble again: "Girl, sleep in a tent with me, or you will be scared alone." There must be snakes in this place. ”

Ma Youcheng was his good partner, and then said, "How can there be? The girl won't be afraid, I'm afraid, I need the girl to sleep next to me to give me courage. ”

Han Zhou stood up, glanced at them coldly, and left.

Someone next to him said, "You two, are you sick and confused?" Forgot about hoof tendon stewed tofu? ”

"Haha, hoof tendon stewed tofu! Hoof tendon stewed tofu! Someone excitedly patted his leg and echoed.

"Don't worry girls, they don't mean anything." And the chief steward said:

Han Zhou shook his head. It's definitely impossible to care at all, vulgar people do vulgar things, and those who commit adultery have a few brains? Isn't it all driven by animal ** to take risks?

But to be angry is not worth it. There is still a long way to go, and there is no need to stiffen the relationship.

"The girl can sleep in my tent, and I will sleep with the others." And the man said.

"Thank you." Han Zhou glanced at him, smiled, and accepted it unceremoniously. The man in the lead is still different from those men.

In the middle of the night, Hanzhou was still asleep, and there were men's snoring outside, as well as various bird calls, which made people feel uneasy. The jujube has red eyes, and the temperature of the jujube on the back of her neck seems to be felt, which is also unreassuring.

"The bandits are coming, the guys!" Outside the tent, the shouts of the watchmen rang out continuously. This was followed by all sorts of chaotic sounds, footsteps, clashing of knives and sticks, and shouts.

Han Zhou also nervously touched the kitchen knife, opened the tent and walked out, those men had already run away, and even the two patients tried to grab sticks and follow, but they couldn't keep up like that.

The mountain road not far away was already fighting at this time, shouting, roaring, colliding, and hitting......

Hanzhou didn't go to help, she didn't have the ability to help, she could only add to the chaos.

There is only one belief, hold the knife in your hand, and come and cut one by one.

At this time, I remembered to tell the jujube, if you can't beat it, you have to admit it, but you have to have a chance to admit it.

The fight lasted a quarter of an hour before it ended.

And when the people returned, some were wounded, and some were not dead. If it is forensically identified, the injury is also minor. As if they were accustomed to it, they took care of their injuries and went back to sleep.

Han Zhou didn't feel a little sleepy, she was too nervous just now.

"It's okay, go back to sleep." The leader took care of it.

Back in the tent, she still couldn't sleep peacefully, and the cold sweat on her back made her very uncomfortable.

It seems that it is not possible to have no self-defense skills in the era of cold weapons, but she is so old, it is definitely too late to practice. Well, only fitness, at least things come and run fast is still useful. She decided to get serious about working out and couldn't explain until she found her way home in an era without toothpaste.

When it was daybreak, he hastily ate a mouthful of food, and then pulled out the camp and opened the way.

The leading horseback rode in parallel with the cold continent.

"Was it shocked last night?" He spoke very softly and was very nice.

"Hmm." Hanzhou replied.

"It's a thing that happens a lot, and we're used to it. The girl will be fine when she arrives in Xianyang. ”

"Is it the same on the other side of Qilian Mountain?"

"Well, everyone of all tribes has it, saying different things and doing the same thing, hehe." He's optimistic.

"It's really risky to run a trade route." Han Zhou sighed.

"Who's to say it isn't? My family has been running this road for more than ten years, and five adult men in the clan have died. ”

"Oh," it's not easy, a trade route that you can fight for. "Sir, are you going to do this forever?"

"I guess it's done! However, I was envious when I saw your small business of making tofu in Shuangliu Town, and it was very peaceful. It's not like us, you see what you eat, what you live in, maybe you have to be sent on the road. He shook his head as he spoke.

Han Zhou didn't refute it, each with its own difficulties. "Sir, have you ever thought of asking a professional to help you?"

"What do you mean?" The man asked, puzzled.

"There are already five adult men in the gentleman's clan, and I don't know how many people will be lost if this road goes down. These people under him belong to the gentleman who can be trusted, and they are willing to go outside to endure hardships, but I don't know how good they are with guns and sticks? If you work hard, you can protect the goods, but if you don't work hard, I'm afraid that my husband's family will have to pay a pension for them. ”

"They--they're still going to be able to defend themselves a little bit." He hesitated a little, and it was obvious that Han Zhou was telling the truth.

"I just said that professional things should be done by professional people, and that's what I meant. Instead of losing human lives, it is better to allocate more skilled men in the camel caravan, and negotiate with him in advance about the reward for this journey, and the casualties will be resolved in the negotiated reward. I think there will always be people who are willing to do this for a living. ”

What Han Zhou mentioned was the dart bureau line, which only appeared on a large scale after the rise of the financial industry. But thinking of this today, I casually mentioned it. In this era, there are always people who do not hesitate to change their lives for food.

"The idea—" the man thought.

"It's just a matter of weighing and judging whose life is worth more." Han Zhou sighed helplessly.

"Also, take someone else's life to protect your own. It is the least cost-effective to spend money if you have no money. ”

"Yes." It seems that people of different eras have the same understanding! "If the gentleman doesn't invite someone to protect the businessman, there is another way."

"Oh? What's the solution? The other party looked at Han Zhou with interest.

"Buy the road!"

"Oh? How to buy? ”

"Give them a part of the benefits, and the two sides negotiate well, how much is this section of the road! Pay the deposit first, and if you pay the money and something happens along the way, I mean, you are robbed by another strongman, then you won't pay the rest of the money. ”

"Doing business with strongmen?" Incredible tone.

"Yes, you can do business with anyone!" Han Zhou said with some sarcasm. Rats and cats, policemen and thieves can also be bought and sold.

"However, if someone grabs it, they will have everything, so why take a little money from you and keep you safe?"

"Did you ever think about how many brothers died along the way for the strongman clan to do this dangerous thing?"

"Oh, I think it's a lot."

"Yes, if you have something to eat, why should you come out and be a robber? Your caravan wants to resist, the government has to arrest and condemn the crime, and you also guard a mountain, and someone will send money without having to die a brother, is this a good deal? Of course, the government does not collect taxes on this income. Han Zhou smiled sarcastically.

"It's so fun to talk to a girl! I thought, if this would spoil the robbers, the government wouldn't allow it, right? ”

"Hehe, may I ask, if you are the chief official of a county, and there are often people in the area under your jurisdiction who report to the official, saying that they have been robbed again, and a few people have died, which hill boss made it, please lead the commander to lead the troops to encircle and suppress. Do you deserve to be comfortable, sir? What will your boss think of your governance skills? On the contrary, if everyone is safe, the strongmen on the hill do not come out to make trouble, and the businessmen in the past are safe and sound, will this chief take the initiative to make trouble? Is this a fuss about a future or no future? ”

"Hehe, there is some truth in what the girl said, and I was taught today."

"It's just idle nonsense, sir, let's just talk after dinner." Han Zhou sighed, it was indeed boring, the scenery was not interesting, and the future was very slim. People are busy making money, what is she busy with?

"I heard people call the girl Xiaohan, I wonder if I can also be called that? Oh, they call me Seventh Brother, my surname is Hu, you can call me Dongjia, or Seventh Brother, don't call me Hu Qi, it's too ugly. He wrinkled his nose when he said "too ugly", and there was nothing discordant about a person about forty years old.

Han Zhou smiled and nodded, this person is also very interesting.

Why is it called Seventh Brother? Is it that affectionate? Besides, you must be older than me?

Forget it, I call jujube brother.

Brother Zao, are you okay now?
