"Don't be hacked, don't be hacked! I didn't do anything bad! "I changed into a wetsuit, put on insulated gloves and high rain boots, and just curled up in the corner of the back compartment of the cash truck.
Although I don't stay at the top of the hill now, because of the woods all around, I'm still afraid of being injured by lightning! Didn't you say that Ray loved to hit tall trees? It's all woods, and there's nowhere to hide.
But I'm also too worried, although it is rare for a car to be struck by lightning. Traveling in an open area during a thunderstorm can easily attract lightning strikes. However, as long as the door is closed, because the car is a conductor, after lightning strikes the roof of the car, the current will generally flow along the body through the four tires to the earth. In the case of high current intensity, the current will violently compress the surrounding air, making a popping sound, and at the same time, the huge pressure will also cause the tire to burst. However, because the current is transferred along the body, more than 90% of the people in the car are less susceptible to lightning damage, but are safer. In addition, the tires of the cash truck are also specially made, so even the danger of a puncture is not great......
Fortunately, thunderstorms in coastal areas, although they come quickly, disappear quickly. And this time, whether it was luck or other reasons, I didn't get hurt in the car.
Considering that this place is not far from our destination, and there are still some clouds in the sky, for the sake of safety, I think it is better not to continue to take off, even if it is a few more days, just drive over the road!
It's a pity that the idea is good. We had several more rains and thunderstorms, and even a hurricane...... But the road conditions here are so bad! As we drove away, the steel tires of the cash truck were punctured several times by wooden thorns that littered the dirt road...... It feels like the road here is no different from the dirt road in the rainforest in the movie! Everywhere there were large pits filled with muddy water and various branches that had fallen to the ground. And there are a lot of hard wooden thorns on the branches. If the tire is pressed up, it will burst......
Oh yes, not to mention the big mosquitoes and all sorts of unknown and biting little flying insects...... If I hadn't taken out enough wind oil essence and cooling oil from the pharmacy in the mall and lavishly smeared it all over the body, I would have been overwhelmed by the big mosquitoes here......
However, although the road conditions are difficult to walk, the weather is capricious, and almost every few hours of travel, you can catch a shower of rain. That's why I really don't dare to rely on flying to get through this journey!
When I passed by a small town to rest, I asked the Tang merchants there and learned that it was raining every day because it was the rainy season...... I heard that the weather here is not spring, summer, autumn and winter, only the rainy season and the dry season. With that, I found that I really didn't get used to the weather here!
In addition, I found that the merchants of the Tang Dynasty were really powerful! Even in such a small town, you can meet Tang merchants who come to trade, oh yes, there are also many Persian merchants...... When I asked, I realized that some of the herbs and ivory that are abundant here are very popular specialties.
After wasting half a month, I finally arrived at our destination. Originally, if this route had been flown through the sky, it would have been only a few hours.
However, walking on land, not only do we need to shelter from rain and lightning from time to time, but also the harsh environment here, the mountains and the winding paths are also stumbling blocks for us to hurry......
"This is Zhenla!" I looked at a very peculiar little town in front of me and said.
"No, this is 'Ji Scorn'! Mola is what we call them! Said the merchant who helped me lead the way.
Just a few dozen kilometers away from here, I stumbled upon a caravan being robbed by bandits. Because I saw that the caravan was full of people from Datang, I easily released the people from the girlfriend group who had already become bored because they had renovated their wooden houses and the awards. Let these people 'practice their hands' with the bandits who are not fighting in front of them, which can be regarded as a kind of emotional venting!
After all, since the people of these girlfriend groups decorated their dormitories and cabins, they have long wanted to come out and let the air breathe. After all, these people are different from my little girls, they can't stand loneliness. After a few days in the warehouse, I kept clamoring to come out and rush together.
But all kinds of accidents and road conditions along the way were very troublesome, so I could only suppress them and not let them appear......
When I rescued people this time, I saw that the people of these girlfriend groups deliberately changed into heavily armed heavy armor and put heavy armor on the horses, and only then launched a crushing charge against the bandits of less than 100 people...... When I cleaned up the battlefield afterwards, I found out that those bandits were trampled to death by them with war horses...... So this battle was not only the bandits who were completely wiped out, but also scared everyone in the rescued Datang caravan...... They're so tough!
However, after the people of this caravan learned that we were all from the Tang Dynasty, they insisted on rushing with us~ If it weren't for the fact that the leader of this caravan took the initiative to send more than a dozen ivory sculptures and even several huge whole tusks, I really wouldn't be happy to take so many people on the road together! They're just too slow!
But after these 'little gifts' were directly snatched away by the awards and the girlfriend group, I could only take them with me. On the way, he helped me explain a lot of information about the surrounding small countries, and after learning that we were here to collect grain, although I was shocked why we came all the way here to buy extremely worthless grain. But the leader of the caravan told me a good place, saying that it was the place with the largest amount of grain among the small countries in the vicinity! It's all good rice...... Coincidentally, this place was also the next stop for their caravan. It is the small town in front of me that is called 'Ji Miao'.
After entering the city together, the caravan not only helped me pay the entrance fee for one person and the 'carriage and horse fare' for the cash truck, but also took the initiative to take me to the grain market in this small town.
It seems that the small countries around here are rich in all kinds of food, especially rice. But there are still people who will come to buy food. So this small town even has a market that specializes in selling grain to various places! It's just that I now know how cheap the food here really is. If rice is traded with Datang's Kaiyuan Tongbao, you can collect a bucket of the best rice for as little as a penny! In Chang'an City, this bucket of rice is sold for more than 5 yuan. If the best rice can be sold for about 8 wen...... Of course, in fact, the price of rice in Datang is also very low. A bucket of rice is equivalent to 12 and a half catties of later generations!
However, this time, apart from the two boxes of copper coins that I always had in the warehouse, I didn't have any extra copper coins to buy rice. I'm going to barter this time! schoolgirl
In addition, when I was about to take out the cheap goods I brought from Datang to prepare for trading, I was suddenly pulled aside by the caravan leader who brought me over, and after his eyes hinted to me not to speak, he explained to the people in this market, saying that he would come over after noon tomorrow to prepare for trading.
Anyway, I wondered why this team leader was delayed until tomorrow? Obviously, I saw that in this market, there are really a lot of various grain granaries piled up everywhere! If I trade now, I guess I'll be able to leave tomorrow and return home. Why put it off until tomorrow?
However, out of trust in the Datang merchants, I still shut up and obeyed the arrangement of this team leader. It wasn't until I left the market that I asked my doubts.
"Oh! You said this~ Wait a minute, you won't be the first time to trade~ Oh yes, forget that your lord is the one who represents the imperial court! I'm sorry! The team leader apologized. After all, the last time he saw the 'girlfriend group' I brought out fully armed, he always thought that we were court officials! I think that our coming here this time is the task of the imperial court!
I don't bother to explain this misunderstanding. After all, I heard this businessman say that he is a businessman who belongs to Lingnan Dao, although he is from the Tang Dynasty, he has never crossed the Yangtze River and has never been to Chang'an. So it's not clear what the imperial court officials look like! I guess we won't see each other again after we return to Datang.
So after the other party apologized, he told me that this is not Datang, and if you do business, you will not only have to prepare the money and goods. And the most critical point is that when trading, you must come up with force that can deter the other party! Otherwise, even if you trade in this town, the other party is likely to be because you don't have enough deterrence~ or because you don't bring enough people. I won't trade with you normally at all, and I will directly rob you completely......
That's why this merchant said that he would wait until noon tomorrow to trade, and his purpose was to wait for us to prepare, and when we traded tomorrow, we must bring all the men and horses.
Hearing him say this, I don't know how, I remembered the private transactions between gangs that I had seen in the old Hong Kong film! This is all about bringing enough people, and after the two sides have exchanged scolding each other, they will start the underworld transaction of 'paying money with one hand and delivering goods with one hand'...... It seems that there is no nonsense in this movie! Even in ancient times, this was the way of trading!
"Huh! I remember, no wonder someone told me that if I came to trade outside of Datang, I would meet savages and barbarians! Let me bring more people! After I said a word to myself, I began to rejoice that I had brought dozens of people from my girlfriend group over!
Although it is said that they only need a few dozen people, but when they are fully armed, they can still shock most of them with the appearance of heavy cavalry!
In fact, the most lethal combat power in my hands is not the heavy cavalry of my girlfriend group. It's the big move of the two little kids, the mandarin duck and the duck! The two of them are not human-like, although they consume gold reserves very much. But if that power is taken out, it is estimated that it will be no problem to destroy this entire small city...... The combat effectiveness of these two people has long been seriously 'off the charts'! One person's one-handed 'sandstorm funeral'! It is estimated that even thousands of enemies will not be able to withstand their move. Not to mention that they are two people, and now the energy reserve has doubled because of the strengthening of the 'knife money'~ Not to mention those people in the market, even if it is a team of regular soldiers, they can only be killed in an instant under the ability of mandarin ducks and ducks......
It's just ~ Mandarin and duck are less than one meter tall, plus a child-like face and cute appearance...... It is estimated that letting the two of them out can only 'cute' others and can't suppress the enemy......
Thinking about it this way, I found that it is really not a loss for people with girlfriend groups to come out!
"Hmmm! And so it was, although there were few of them. But the appearance of being fully armed is still very scary! ”
After returning to the place where I lived, I said that I would ask them to help 'support the façade' tomorrow, and it was unanimously approved by the girlfriend group! They're bored for a long time! As soon as I heard that there was such an interesting thing, I could take the initiative to scare others~ This made them cheer and start a bonfire party again!
These people are too good at finding excuses to have a party!
In addition, this time we found a high-priced inn to live in. Because there is not even an abandoned post here. And after coming to this small town. Although I heard that the royal capital of Zhenla is here. But according to the caravan that came with us, it was not safe in this small town......
However, the people in the girlfriend group didn't care about this, so they still forcibly asked to go outside the city to open an outdoor bonfire.
In the warehouse, because now it is crowded with all kinds of wooden houses. In addition, the space that is used as a 'warehouse' is actually a karst cave. So the people in the girlfriend group feel that there is no difference between being there and being indoors. Bonfire party or something, you must have to be in the wild to enjoy it!
Even if the surrounding environment is harsh, there are all kinds of mosquitoes everywhere. But they still insisted on a bonfire.
For this reason, I could only invite the people of the caravan to leave the town with us, and find a special open space not far from the city to hold a ......
To say that this open space the size of a football field is actually temporarily reclaimed by the mandarin ducks at the behest of the girlfriend group! This also used the mandarin mandarin's ability, and directly summoned a tornado to destroy the parking lot~ Ah, it's wrong, it was a tornado to expand a small open space of dozens of square meters. This small clearing was originally surrounded by trees of different heights and various shrubs and weeds, but all of them were blown away by the tornado summoned by the mandarin ducks. And she also called a piece of broken yellow sand out very intimately, and paved the newly reclaimed vacant land the size of a football field with fine yellow sand.
Now it looks like a desert suddenly appears in the middle of a tropical rainforest......
