Chapter 19: The Journey to the North
After Jiuzhen finished chanting these words, he suddenly fell silent, and there was no sound in the room. Pei Guo knew that he was about to leave immediately, so he didn't dare to stay any longer, so he gently moved the tiles to cover the loopholes, moved carefully, and dived into the distance.
At this time, Pei Guo was full of questions, his head seemed to be about to explode, and he was anxious to find a gap to blow by the night wind. I have to investigate this matter, but I can't let him wait and leave! Looking around, I suddenly got an idea. I saw him jump into the courtyard full of chariots and horses, climb on one of them, find a hollow between his pockets, and lie down comfortably--- the pockets of this cart are not as high as one and a half people, and the height of the frame is increased, and if you don't climb up and look carefully, you will definitely not find him.
The people who went to the street to patrol the watch sounded the gong of the fourth watch, and sure enough, there was a loud footstep in the Qianjin Fang, and a bunch of people rushed into the courtyard from the dark, leading the horses and pulling the horses' eye cloths, each with its own division of labor, and there was no chaos. Chen Dongjia and Jiuzhen also came out, and whispered a few words, Pei Guo resisted the urge to get up and peek, and obediently lay still. The courtyard door opened, and the carriage and horses drove out.
With the sound of wheels, Pei Guo saw that the bright moon kept moving back, but it was always high in the sky; The eaves on both sides of the street appear and disappear from time to time, and occasionally a few big trees pass by, the branches are not too complicated, the leaves are not very luxuriant, and they are lonely in the night wind. . . It's all scenery that I haven't noticed before.
The entire convoy silently headed north, without a word. When he arrived at the north city gate, Chen Gui's voice sounded, and after a few words, the city gate creaked open. Pei Guo couldn't help but slander: opened the city gate so easily, if it was really the Liang people who colluded with the worms, wouldn't Wuchuan be in danger? These wine bags and rice bags are just bastards!
There was no imaginary Rouran person, except for the sound of the wheel, everything was still quiet, and the convoy continued north.
After an hour of travel, the convoy came to a halt. Pei Guo turned over and got up slightly, and by the moonlight, he could see that there was a small poplar forest in front of him, and there were faint voices and horses shushing behind the forest, and there were not a few people who listened.
Chen Gui twisted two fingers in his mouth, and after two whistles, he heard a loud sound, and several people came out of the poplar forest, and the leader bowed to Chen Dongjia: "Chen engaged!" The brothers have been waiting here for a long time! Pei Guo's heart tightened: it turned out that the Chen Dong family still had a helping hand here!
"Good!" Chen Dongjia said with a smile: "Everyone is gathered, and they will rest here until dawn, and then go on the road after eating morning food!" ”
"Yes!" Those who came retreated into the forest. Chen Gui also commanded the 30 or so people who came out of the Qianjinfang to unload the felt and sleep on the spot.
On the roof of the car, Pei Guo glanced at the back of Jiuzhen on Chen Dongjia's side, this time she didn't wear a Luo Yi, she changed into a strong clothes, but showed her figure more and more. Pei Guo couldn't help but look up and down a few more times... Suddenly, Jiuzhen seemed to sense something, and suddenly turned his head, and his gaze shot straight in his direction. Pei Guo was startled, lowered his head, and put his head on the grain bag, not daring to lift it for half a minute. After waiting for a while, I thought that Jiuzhen had never seen him, and there was nothing unusual around him, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
In the dead of night, everyone was asleep, and the cries were everywhere. Pei Guo also felt sleepy, thought about it, simply lay down in a comfortable position, and just fell asleep.
。。。。。。
At dawn, Pei Guo woke up the bumpy carriage, yawned, and almost stretched out his waist as usual, Huo Di woke up: he was lurking in the Liang people's convoy! I didn't dare to look up to observe, so I had to continue to lie still, and said in my heart: Liang people got up early, and they were in a hurry...
The scenery flashing on both sides is completely different from the vicinity of Wuchuan City, as far as the eye can see, it is just the same blue sky and white clouds, and nothing else. The crunch of the wheels on the ground was the echo of friction against the rough sand. Pei Guo secretly thought: This is entering the Gobi Desert...
On this day, the Liang people walked in a hurry, and they didn't know how many miles to the north, and Pei Guo on the car was bored, and gave a name to every cloud they saw. Finally, when it got dark, the Liang people stopped to drink water and eat, and spent the night on the spot.
Finally in the middle of the night, the Liang people had already fallen asleep, Pei Guo jumped out of the car like a ghost, looked around, and couldn't help but smack his tongue: Chen Dongjia really has a big plan! It turned out that the scale of this convoy was also huge, and there were only more than 20 cars and horses when Qianjinfang came out, but at this moment, there were no less than 100 cars. Each one is loaded with exactly the same big pockets, presumably it is what Chen Dongjia said before, and it is estimated that this team will not have two hundred people!
Pei Guo was checking himself, and suddenly there was a gurgling in his stomach, and then he realized that he was hungry. Fortunately, the Liang people arranged for the night to be on duty at night were scattered in the distance, but the convoy was full of people who were sleeping unconscious, Pei Guo was bold and sneaked away leaning on a carriage. After much effort, he finally noticed that several of the wagons were slightly different: instead of sacks of grain, they were covered with cloaks, and they were stacked slightly lower than the wagons.
Gently lifting the corner of the cloak, the starlight shone in, and a few points of cold light were reflected. Pei Guo Yirin: There are a lot of swords, spears, arrows and shields, and the Liang people are not fully prepared. Another car, Pei Guo is happy to frown--- fried millet with dried millet, Hu biscuit and dried meat, all kinds of dry food are available, and there are a lot of sheepskin water bladders, which are filled with water, which is the most indispensable thing in the desert.
Pei Guo took a few each, and did not return to the original car, but only went to the end of the convoy. He wanted to hide in the last car of the line, so that he could get up and observe even in the daytime, and it would not be easy for people to find out.
Pei Guo's eyes were sharp, and when he walked past a few sleeping Liang people, he saw at a glance that one of them had a fur fur on his side, thinking that this person was using the fur fur as a quilt at night, sleeping sweetly, and he didn't feel that the fur fur slipped to the side.
At that time, the autumn was already heavy, Pei Guo was in good health, but he was lying on the roof of the car and was blown by the wind, and it was difficult to move his hands and feet. This fur fur is a standard clothing, everyone in Liang has one, the color and style are all the same, and it fits well when worn on the body, Pei Guo smiled secretly: Not bad, not bad! There are hundreds of people here, and they never know each other, and I wear this fur coat, and I simply blend into the crowd when it is time to do it, and I am afraid that he will not recognize him for a while.
At that moment, Pei Guo walked to the last car, threw the dry food and water bag on it, and then crept to the roof of the car. There was nothing to do, Pei Guo moved and moved, and slightly reorganized the grain pockets on the car, first, to make himself more comfortable, and second, to find a few hidden angles to squeeze out the gaps between the pockets, and it was also convenient for him to explore the outside situation at any time.
When the dust settled, Pei Guo looked at his newly built "elegant residence" with satisfaction, and fell asleep sweetly.
