(Ask for collection, ask for red tickets, thank you)

It is said that this day is the fourth day of the sixth month, it is early summer, and the sky is clear on this day, the scorching sun is on the head, and the weather is very hot!

In such a ghostly hot weather, don't say that you are walking under the sun, that is, sitting in the shade just moving your hands and feet have to sweat profusely, so there are few people on the road everywhere, and people who are in a hurry have found a place to rest their feet, and it is not too late to rush after the hottest time of this noon.

But there were fifteen or sixteen people who appeared on the road of Huangnigang under the scorching sun, and I saw that except for a black-faced man wearing a hat on his head, with an open arms and carrying an axe, and a white-faced middle-aged man with a goatee, the remaining dozen or so people were all carrying a flat pole with a big basket hanging at both ends, and from the extremely low angle at both ends of the pole, it can be seen that the goods carried by this flat pole are only afraid to weigh more than 100 catties!

Walking on the road under the scorching sun on this hot day, and carrying such heavy goods, a few of them were panting hot, red-faced, and sweating profusely, and they really wanted to throw their flat shoulders and find a shaded place to sleep well!

But the more this is the case, the leading man's footsteps have not slowed down in the slightest, but he just strides forward without hesitation, not to mention the people who are carrying the flat burden behind, even the white-faced middle-aged man next to him who also did not carry the flat burden is also a little unbearable.

Finally, one of the people carrying the flat burden finally couldn't stand it anymore, and he struggled to catch up with the white-faced middle-aged man panting and whispered, "Anyway, the brothers really can't hold on, you go and tell Sotich to let the big guy take a break, and if you go on like this, I'm afraid that I will lose my life from heat stroke!" ”

The middle-aged man also had this intention, he looked back, and saw that everyone was looking at him with expectation, and a sense of "responsibility" immediately rose in his heart, and then he nodded and shouted to the black-faced man who led the way in front, "Suo Tiha, please go slowly." ”

The black-faced man turned his head when he heard this, and said politely, "What's the matter, big brother?" ”

The middle-aged man wiped his head and said, "It's hard to walk in the heat, and the big guys can't stand it anymore, why don't you find a place to rest, and wait for the scorching sunset before you go?" ”

The black-faced man looked around, but said with some embarrassment, "I don't care if the eldest brother doesn't know, this place is called Huangnigang, it is a famous dangerous place, there are often strongmen who come out to rob money, we must not rest here, and first pass this post, and then walk seven or eight miles, and it is not too late to find someone to rest!" ”

As soon as he heard this black-faced man say this, someone in the group of men behind him immediately shouted, "Suothi, even the strong people are too lazy to come out on this hot day, we are all carrying such a heavy burden, don't say that if we walk another seven or eight miles, even four or five miles, we will die of heat!" Ask Tihath, let us rest! ”

And all the people eagerly echoed it,

The middle-aged man looked at the black-faced man with blank eyes and said, "Suo Tiha, look at this ......, the road in the future is still long, no matter which one is tired, you have to delay the journey, or rest first?" ”

The black-faced man saw that everyone was indeed a little unable to walk, looked around again, and finally nodded, "Okay, there is a forest in front, let's go there and rest for half an hour." ”

When everyone looked ahead, there was indeed a forest hundreds of paces away, and everyone cheered, and desperately squeezed out a little strength to carry the flat pole and went towards the forest.

When they came to the woods and found a shady place, they put the flat poles and goods on the ground, and they all lay on the ground one by one as if they were scattered, and they didn't bother to move!

Who are these people? They are the people sent by Liang Zhongshu of the Daimyo Mansion to send 100,000 birthday gifts to Cai Jing in Bianliang, and this leader is also a small one, it is the "urgent pioneer" Suo Chao who was newly promoted by Liang Zhongshu to be promoted by Liang Zhongshu to the envoy of the Daimyo Mansion!

"Urgent Pioneer" Suo Chao? Isn't that one of Liang Shanbo's fierce generals?

Yes, that's him! It's just that he is still a general in the Daimyo's Mansion.

In fact, the matter of escorting the birthday gang should have been Yang Zhi's business, but Yang Zhi was assigned to the Daimyo Mansion because of the deviation of history, and naturally he would not be appreciated by Liang Zhongshu and promoted to an officer, so this task fell on the body of Suo Chao, another fierce general under Liang Zhongshu.

It's just that if you don't say that the hero sees the same thing, after Suo Chao was appointed by Liang Zhongshu, after thinking about it, he actually made the same choice as Yang Zhi, worried that the public escort of the Birthday Gang would be too ostentatious to attract thieves, but asked the sergeants to disguise themselves as businessmen and secretly escort the Birthday Gang in a way that concealed people's eyes.

The reason why Yang Zhi was so careful at the beginning was that he still lost his birthday gang by Chao Gai and others, because Liang Zhongshu also sent him a "capital manager" to assist him in escorting, and it was this old man who took care of Yang Zhi's affairs!

And history also gave Suo Chao a problem, that is, Liang Zhongshu still sent him the old man, that is, the white-faced middle-aged man walked with him.

Although Suo Chao didn't want to, he had no choice but to agree.

But after all, Suo Chao is from a genuine army, and he is an old man under Liang Zhongshu, so this way is quite compatible with the old man and a dozen sergeants, except for Suo Chao's quick temper, in order to return to his life as soon as possible and hurry to make everyone a little unbearable, but there is no gap, this rushed to Huangnigang today!
