Chapter 789: Desert Horse Bandits

Ge Changzhuang has the heart to carry money and cannonballs, so he naturally has to understand and master the child's heart and conduct, so he will decide whether to take him or not. After a period of observation, Ge Changzhuang found that although Qian Cannon's personality was a little anxious and his work was a little informal, his heart was still good, this kid was not arrogant, not arrogant, he listened to everything you said, secretly changed it, and especially loved to come here, which was very rare.

Ge Changzhuang put aside the matter of the money cannon war, and quietly went through the events of the past few days in his mind, feeling that there was no mistake, and then he was a little relieved.

He said nothing in the caravan, and although everyone had doubts in their hearts, they would not question it loudly and lose their face. The impact of this matter can be big or small, but it still has to be dealt with!

A long caravan marched through the desert, and at the end of the procession was a dozen or so men on camels.

The camel looks docile and wants it to listen to you, but it is also skillful. It is different from horses, sometimes it is gentle, sometimes it is too alert, and everyone is not used to it at first, but then it slowly gets acquainted with its temperament.

Now they're in good hands.

The desert in the northwest is not the mobile desert and semi-mobile desert in people's impression, it is closer to the characteristics of the freeze-thaw desert, the altitude is high, the permafrost is degraded, the vegetation is declining, the soil is degraded, the surface of the mountain and gentle slope is broken, and the surface layer is bare, so that the land and landform show a state of desertification.

According to Qin Dai's opinion, this desert is a moderate freeze-thaw desert at best, with a large temperature difference between day and night and seasonality, and the soil and rock mass are violently expanding and contracting, resulting in structural damage and quality changes.

The thought only flashed slightly through her mind, and then she suppressed it again. When I talked to these ancients about freezing and thawing or something, I really couldn't explain it.

But. The sunset scenery in the desert is really beautiful.

"Xin'er, what do you think!"

Qin Daixin is the third oldest among the sisters in the house, and the names of the sisters in her family all end with the word heart. So in the Qin Mansion. Everyone is used to calling each of them the rank or small character between their sisters, Su's family, the nurse, they are all used to calling her Ah Li, even if it is Murong Jing, she has always called her Li'er, and there is only one person who calls her Xin'er.

"Sister Wan'er." Qin Daixin turned her head to look at Ji Wan'er who had caught up, and said slightly: "How is it, does your head still hurt?" ”

Ji Wan'er was hit on the head with silver by Shao Qianwen's bastard. Seeing the blood, although the medicine was used, the wound was still quite scary. Fortunately, Ji Wan'er herself is a doctor, and her medical skills are not low, so she is finally in danger.

"It's okay." Ji Wan'er wore a cape with a hat. She was still wearing a sheepskin coat outside, and she covered her head with a hat and a long scarf to cover her whole head, revealing only a pair of eyes.

In fact, when Shao Qianwen was at the beginning, she could have avoided it. Ji Wan'er had a girl on her body, and she had already heard the sound of a foreign object shooting towards her, but in order to stabilize the overall situation. She was stunned and didn't move, and even restrained her instinct to dodge, and took a hard beat.

Qin Dai admired her very much.

"The temperature in this desert is really weird, hot and cold. It wasn't dark yet, but it was starting to get cold. The white haqi melted slightly in front of his eyes, and a layer of hoarfrost formed on the scarf.

into the night. The temperature will drop suddenly, and it will be even colder!

The camel was not fast, and the two rode side by side, talking in a whisper.

"As soon as Shao Qianwen dies, Weizhou may be in chaos! Heart. You said we all found a substitute for the dead ghosts, so do you still need to escape? When you get there, will people not believe what we say? "After all, this is not a trivial matter, and if you ask a little about it, you will know everything.

Qin Daixin's face hidden in the scarf smiled quietly, and only said, "Don't worry, it'll be fine." "The more unfathomable and unfathomable people are, the more valued they are when they get there. They killed the head of Weizhou, not only were they not caught, but they also got out smoothly, and this alone will make the people at that end rush to them!

Ji Wan'er nodded as if she didn't understand.

Qin Daixin turned her head at this time, looking at the endless yellow sand and gravel in front of her, and the rock masses of different shapes that had been eroded by the wind, and a sense of indescribable and inexplicable came to her heart.

She hadn't heard of Shengyue Trading House before, but after contacting it this time, she felt that this trading house was a bit not simple.

Without strength, who dares to take people into the desert, just take the goods, Wana is a very dangerous place, the people there are naturally hostile to the Dayong people, and if you are not careful, you may not be able to come back! The risk taken by the Shengyue Commercial Bank is not only half a star? Merchants who wander between the two countries are most likely to be put on the hat of convicting the enemy of the country, once this crime is applied, it is a felony of the nine clans, if there is no certainty of self-protection, who dares to act like this?

Qin Daixin thought back to the look in the eyes of the person surnamed Ge when he took in everyone at the beginning, and then thought about Murong Jing's steady appearance all along, and his heart was clear.

She turned her head to look at Murong Jing, and the goods still looked unfathomable, and oil and salt did not enter. Probably sensing her gaze, he turned his head as if he had a feeling, and suddenly fell into Qin Dai's inky pupils.

It's obviously a person who is densely wrapped, only showing a pair of eyes, and he has no figure or appearance. Looking at her from here, I could only see her exposed eyes and smooth and full forehead, but such a little person who was wrapped like a dumpling, but he could affect his nerves, as if every nerve in his body was restrained by her.

Murong Jing didn't speak, he didn't wrap his headscarf, his whole face was exposed, there was no ripple in his eyes, his lips were pursed into a line, and his face was stained with a lot of wind and sand.

It was ridiculous to ride on a camel, but his back was still straight, his posture was like a pine, and his body exuded a vigilant aura from top to bottom.

There was a wind in the distance, and a gust of charming wind and sand swirled towards everyone, and the ears were full of whirring sounds, not big and small sand particles, and the faces of the people who were scraped hurt. Everyone hurriedly gathered the long scarves on their heads, only Murong Jing, whose expression remained unchanged, was riding on a camel steadily, only a pair of eyes, squinted slightly.

Murong Jing is a person who has been on the battlefield and has been stained with blood, and this hardship in the desert is absolutely nothing to him.

When everyone saw it, they couldn't help but admire it again, after all, in everyone's hearts, he was a noble and pampered prince, and it was really not easy to do this.

The golden crow on the horizon was about to fall below the horizon, and the desert was shrouded in darkness, and in the distance, the camel caravan stopped.

It's very dangerous to travel in the desert when it's dark, and although there is no quicksand here, and it's nowhere near as dangerous as the real deserts, there are still a lot of variables. Not to mention, on the first day of entering the desert, Qin Daixin had seen a few desert wolves from afar, they were staring at the camel caravan with fierce eyes, if it weren't for the large number of people on his side, I am afraid that those wolves would have pounced. But they are also acquaintances, after all, they are a small wolf pack, and the team is full of old, weak, sick and disabled, if it is a big wolf pack, as long as the wolf king gives an order, I am afraid that they will have to fight!

When it gets dark, the caravan is hidden in the night, and the possibility of a horse bandit attack is greatly increased, so that when in the desert, no one rushes in the dark, unless he dies.

Looks like it's going to set up camp.

After following the caravan of the Shengyue Merchant House for a few days, everyone also figured out some rules, so they got off their camels one after another, preparing to find a leeward place to rest.

It is a relatively flat gravel area, not very desertified, and there are strange rocks that have been eroded by the wind everywhere.

Pei Hu and the others were taking the necessities from the camel, and Qin Dai had nothing to do, so he looked around.

The desertification here has been reduced, and it is already much stronger than when they first entered the desert, and according to the soil quality and surface xiàn, it will not be long before they will walk into the desertified steppe and see some low and low plants, which should not be far from Wana at that time.

Pei Hu and the others moved quickly, and they had already lit a fire and boiled water.

Xue Qing used a dilapidated pottery bowl to send hot water to Qin Daixin, but Qin Daixin was not polite, let alone exquisite, and directly poured the hot water with the wind behind her back.

The desert temperature is very low at night, and it is late autumn, so it never hurts to drink more hot water, and it is even better if you can drink some wine.

Pity......

Qin Daixin secretly glanced at the wine bag hanging on Murong Jing's waist, secretly greedy, someone said that he didn't agree to drink anything, and even took Duan Xing, Pei Hu and others to the death, and everyone didn't know why they listened to him so much, and they refused to give her a sip of wine.

Alas......

Bursts of light smoke wafted in the desert, a very light smell of firewood wafted in the empty wilderness, going out, the conditions are limited, especially in the desert, to be able to eat, drink water, is already a very great thing, want to eat fragrant and drink spicy, dream of it!

Dinner was simple, a large pot of thin white porridge with large cakes as hard as stones, pickles, a small amount of cured meat, and wine.

The wine is not Qin Daixin's share, but everyone eats the cured meat tightly with her, Qin Daixin is very powerless about this matter, does she look so delicate? She said it a few times, but everyone didn't listen, and they would still secretly deliver the meat to her bowl.

Qin Dai couldn't, so she simply put the cured meat she didn't eat in a pocket, so that she could be considered a precautionary case, just in case she needed it.

The cake is too hard and dry, so you have to cut it into small pieces with a knife and soak it in white porridge, the gruel is hot and soupy, until the cake is soft, and then it is easy to swallow.

Such days may seem hard, but in fact there is nothing at all. In everyone's eyes, Qin Daixin is a delicate and rich lady, and everyone feels that it is difficult for her to suffer such hardships. But where would they have thought that in their previous life, Qin Daixin crawled out of the pile of dead people, and in order to survive, even rats and lizards had eaten raw, how could they feel that porridge and hard cakes were difficult to swallow!

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and a sharp whistle suddenly sounded, and it spread far and wide in the wilderness.
