Before autumn, the Yun family's barley was ripe, Yun Zheng, Hanniu Monkey three people quickly harvested the barley, dried in the grain field, there are only two small grain stacks, after three days of drying, they beat the barley down with a flail, the harvest grain is too little, two not too big clay jars are all loaded.

Fortunately, the Yun family does not rely on barley to live, otherwise this family of five would have starved to death.

Lai Ba has already urged several times, and he has promised the herdsmen that this time he will bring more goods over, and if he does not leave, it will be too late to make the next transaction.

But Yun Zheng stayed at home during this time and didn't go out, he wrote some strange symbols on a wall, and there were a lot of connections, demonstrating over and over again what was going to happen, and the plan was done, and it was time to set off.

Dousha Village is not very exclusive to the mountain people now, but it is not very welcome, they maintain cautious exchanges with each other, the mountain people come to Dousha Village, they will never enter the village, of course, the people in the village will not specially invite them in.

Seeing the mountains of goods in the stockade, Lai Ba was very excited, Yun Zheng never deceived people, this time the goods were very well prepared, nearly 100 loads of goods, and they would definitely be able to meet the trading needs of the two tribes of Heishui and Eagle.

The people in Dousha Village handed over the pack team to Lai Ba, and just when everyone was about to enter the mountain, Lai Ba found that Yun Zheng and the other two teenagers also followed, and wanted to say that they didn't need to send too far, so they heard Yun Zheng say: "I will also go over to take a look at this trip, there is no way to see the number you gave, and there is no way to make statistics, the big thing is imminent, I need an accurate number and an accurate shape, it is better to go and see it myself." Lai Ba didn't object, after all, this pack team can be said to be Yun Zheng's, not his.

"Everything in the pack team is still up to you, and there need to be rules in every place, don't worry. I will abide by any decision you make and will not cause you any trouble. ”

Lai Ba loosened his tense face at this time, he was most worried that Yun Zheng would come up with some new ideas in the process of marching in the caravan, this is not a good phenomenon, since Yun Zheng has guaranteed not to talk much, this completely satisfies Lai Ba's vanity, as an expert, he also thinks that his dignity cannot be challenged, no matter who it comes from.

Lai Bachang, who was happy, shouted: "Open the mountain!" So he led the first animal into the valley.

Traders are easy to say, but in fact they are very hard. Lai Ba and Yun Zheng's master and servant are only ten people. but to take care of hundreds of animals. The mountain road was not as easy to walk as expected, and many roads were washed away by the heavy rain last time, and the pack team needed to repair the road as they walked.

The end of summer is the hottest time here, and only Yun Zheng is the most unbearable among everyone. The monkey and the cow are used to walking on mountain roads, and they still have the spirit to catch a rabbit in the grass and something, while Yun Zheng is like a fish thrown to the shore, panting with his mouth open, and his lungs are hot and painful.

The whole person is supported by one breath, this ruthlessness towards himself, Lai Ba was speechless, and when it was time to rest at night, Yun Zheng insisted on boiling some water to burn his feet. Pick up blisters, and if you don't do these jobs, you won't be able to stick to it the next day.

Walking to the mouth of the Steamer Gorge, Yun Zheng felt that waves of humid heat gushed out from the canyon, and after a while. The whole body was soaked with sweat, Lai Ba asked to unload the goods from the backs of the livestock, because of the heat, everyone could only wear calf nose pants to work, Yun Zheng drank as much water as possible, this made me feel better, it was still early, so I let people cook a meal, choose a shady place to sleep, and after recuperating and recuperating, I can pass through the Guò Steamer Gorge and the sphere of influence of the Yuanshan bandits in one breath, which is the most dangerous part of the road.

Yun Zheng lay on the blanket but didn't feel a little sleepy, the climate here is too complicated, you can even see the snow on the high mountain, it must be very cold to think about coming there, but in the canyon below the mountain, it is hot like hell, it is raining on the mountainside, but it is a sunny day here.

The monkey lay beside Yun Zheng and whispered: "After the Steamer Gorge, you can see Yuanshan, Yuanshan is very big, and it is also very high, you can get to the Steamer Gorge in one day, and now the boss of Yuanshan is estimated to be the Hua Hornet, Peng Liuzi can't fight the Hua Hornet, because the Hua Hornet is relatively good-looking, and the wife of the black tiger spends most of the month with the Hua Hornet, so Peng Liuzi can't fight the Hua Hornet, there is a Mr. Huang on the mountain, and he said a sentence: Those who get flowers win the world." This flower is the black tiger wife, called Xiaohua. She is very beautiful, even better than the girl of the Liang family. ”

Speaking of this, the monkey actually swallowed a big mouthful of saliva, and Yun Zheng slapped him on the head angrily, how could he be so obsessed with a half-old. He laughed silently, turned sideways and went back to sleep.

Yun Zheng and Xiaolin had a long talk about this woman, and Xiaolin thought that this woman seemed to be disintegrating Yuanshan, and she seemed to be trying to find a way to cause infighting among the Yuanshan bandits.

Yun Zheng is noncommittal about this matter, in the case of the weak lord and strong ministers, the best way is to let the ministers fight each other, only in this way can the leader of himself sit firmly, the mother of the country of Houjin, Da Yu'er, has already used this trick badly, in order for her son to be able to ascend the throne, she is committed to the ministers without hesitation, what is it to sow discord, this is the instinct of a smart woman.

Once Yuanshan is broken, if you want to get rid of the roots, Yun Zheng thinks that the first thing that should be killed is this woman, only force can only do harm, and when force is matched with wisdom, it becomes a scourge. Coupled with the beautiful face, this is simply a perfect ant nest pattern, if it is not quickly cleared, the Holy Mother of the White Lotus will not wait for the Song Dynasty to move south.

I didn't expect to rest for a day and a half, and on the third day, when the stars were still hanging in the sky, Lai Ba asked everyone to set off, and after a hurried breakfast, Yun Zheng followed the pack team into the steamer gorge with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

I used to hear Lai Ba and the monkey, Han Niu said that it was very hot here, Yun Zheng never thought it would be so hot anyway, he was only wearing calf nose pants, and his sweat was like a little snake.

The canyon was full of rocky beaches, some of which were as big as houses, scattered in the river, and there was not a single grass on the edge of the river, and the yellowish water with the smell of sulfur was steaming downward.

There are still some tall trees on the side of the road, but Lai Ba does not allow everyone to get close to the trees, Yun Zheng looked at the monkey's fingers, and couldn't help but feel creepy, the leaves in the lower places were crawling with locusts that smelled the smell of sweat and wanted to suck blood and stretch their bodies, Lai Ba took out a live rabbit from his backpack and threw it into the shade of the tree, and saw the locusts on the tree raining down on the rabbit's body, and in an instant, the rabbit was crawling with locusts, no matter how the rabbit struggled and ran and jumped, he couldn't get rid of the vampires on his body, At last the frenzied rabbit jumped headlong into the boiling water, and the river splashed a small wave, and the rabbit was completely swallowed up.

Lai Ba glanced at Yun Zheng, who was surprised, proudly, and drove the cattle to continue to walk forward quickly.

"There are many locusts here, but there are no poisonous snakes, and those snakes can't smell the smell of sulfur, so there are no poisonous snakes in the whole canyon." Han Niu roasted a locust tail that fell on the animal with a fragrant head, and the grasshopper immediately let go of the suction cup and fell, and Han Niu stepped on it, and blood splashed out.

"This thing can't be pulled by hand, as it will break the body of the locust, and it will be troublesome if the head gets into the flesh." After Han Niu explained to Yun Zheng, he was busy grilling the locusts on other animals, and those animals were already obviously uneasy.

Yun Zheng was very satisfied with the sinister nature of the Steamer Gorge, which was the real natural barrier, and sometimes the heavens would consciously use their own strength to separate the two different species, such as the cowardly people of Dousha County and the strong herdsmen of the Eagle Tribe.

There is no place in the steamer gorge that is safe, lying on a huge stone to sleep is like lying on a hot iron pot, seeing Lai Ba and them jumping into the hot water to take a bath, it seems to be very comfortable, Yun Zheng carefully put his foot in to test it, and immediately screamed, it was too hot in it, I don't know how Lai Ba and they adapted.

People are not as valuable as livestock, and all the animals stand in a puddle next to it, because it is the only cold puddle in the entire steamer gorge, although the water temperature there is more comfortable, Yun Zheng is reluctant to go down, because there seem to be a lot of animal bones under the water, needless to say that some animals who are greedy for coolness died there in the end.

Drink water, then sweat, then drink water, sweat again, in order to keep enough electrolytes in his body, Yun Zheng asked everyone to drink light salt water, so as to maintain the body to the maximum.

It took two whole days to get out of the steamer gorge, according to Lai Ba, if it was a return trip, it wouldn't take so long, because a lot of goods have become goods that can go, and people will be much easier.

The clouds and mist swirled in the middle of the mountain, through the gap between the clouds and mist, the peaks that were illuminated by the sun into golden yellow were shining, and the Yuanshan Mountain under the sunset was so beautiful, which made Yun Zheng sigh secretly, it would not be long before this place would become a flesh and blood slaughterhouse.

Lai Ba's expression had never been so solemn as it was now, and he had never been so worried even in Steamer Gorge, because it was only his body that was tortured in Steamer Gorge, and life here was almost worthless.

Everyone walked briskly with a wooden stick in their mouths, and the animals had this thing in their mouths, and Lai Ba even put a burlap bag on the mouths of the animals, so that the animals could not even sound their noses.

It was very noisy overhead, but it was unusually quiet at the foot of the mountain, except for the slight sound of the hooves of the cattle on the gravel road, and the thick linen cloth on the hooves of the horses.

Yun Zheng squinted his eyes and kept looking at the mountain, imagining what kind of life the people on this mountain would be?
