Chapter 33: Changbai Mountain
The allure of a hundred taels of gold is incomparably great.
After the news spread, the entire manor was boiling, not only did all the hundreds of people in the caravan ask to join, but even the kitchen grooms and other subordinates were very enthusiastic.
There were even a few stronger women who asked someone to come and ask to follow, and it didn't matter what they did at this time, it didn't matter if they died, as long as they could get the money.
It is naturally impossible to go all of them, after all, the people who need to stay behind, first of all, the woman will be excluded by Yang Wenhua, not to mention the others, not physically.
In the end, in addition to Cui Yuan, Sun Simiao, the caravan steward and the caravan leader, the four people who had to follow, Yang Wenhua also selected one hundred and three strong people.
Together with Yang Wenhua, there are just enough people for one hundred and eight people.
Spend the day preparing, in addition to the necessary things such as dry food, each person has to make two sets of sleds and one for spare.
Yang Wenhua used this day to equip this group of people with some modern advanced equipment.
In addition to a set of winter clothing, shoes and hats per person, there is also a sapper shovel, a body armor, and a cold-proof sleeping bag per person, and other bits and pieces such as lighters, sunglasses, and masks, and Yang Wenhua also got a lot.
After five or six days of extreme speed skating, Yang Wenhua led everyone to Taibai Mountain, which was more than 400 kilometers away, which was later known as Changbai Mountain.
This is a rich production area of high-quality old ginseng, Yang Wenhua's plan is to find a basswood forest after going up the mountain, and then rely on more than 100 people to search intensively under the snow in a carpet.
Five days have passed, and the place has changed to three, although the old ginseng has also harvested dozens of ginseng, but the nearly century-old ginseng, but there are only two, and even Yang Wenhua has hunted more beasts than a century-old ginseng.
In the past few days, Yang Wenhua led the team to hit a total of two adult tigers, three adult wild bears, six wild boars of more than 300 catties, and even more small and grass-eating beasts.
In the past few days, Yang Wenhua and his gang have no shortage of meat, and even some people eat nosebleeds, a bunch of people are big men, and there are no women, Yang Wenhua is afraid that they will not go into a sleeping bag at night.
In that picture, Yang Wenhua, who thought about it, had goosebumps all over his body.
Regardless of the fact that in the far away linden forest and snow, everyone searching for the old mountain ginseng, Yang Wenhua looked at the front of him with some boredom, and several strong men kept turning and fiddling back and forth after taking off a tigress.
It is also communicated that the meat in that part is more tender, and the meat in that part is slippery.
Just when Yang Wenhua sighed that this person had been holding back for a long time, and when he saw a pile of meat eaten, he could feel that the snow was white and tender.
A person in charge of guarding hurriedly ran to Yang Wenhua, handed the telescope in his hand to Yang Wenhua, and said, "My lord, there are many people under the mountain, it seems that they are coming for us." ”
Yang Wenhua grabbed the binoculars, looked in the direction pointed by the visitor, and when he saw the size of the gang, Yang Wenhua immediately blew the whistle on his chest.
After hearing Yang Wenhua's whistle, the people who were picking ginseng in the linden forest immediately packed up their things and gathered to Yang Wenhua's side.
Taking advantage of this time, Yang Wenhua used a telescope to take a closer look at the group of people under the mountain.
The number of people is about 300, judging from the service, it should be the regular army of Goguryeo, and the leader is not only tall and mighty, but also has a particularly gorgeous service, and his status in Goguryeo is not low.
After Cui Yuan put down the binoculars, he said with some eagerness: "Brother Xian, it seems that the situation is a regular army of Goguryeo, what should we do?"
We have sleds, which are relatively fast, or we should evacuate immediately. ”
"Evacuate?"
Yang Wenhua sneered, and said loudly to the people behind him: "We may be targeted by others, this is a regular army."
If you run away now, you will be like a lost dog in the future, and you will face the crazy pursuit and interception of others, which is people's land.
Think about the sapper shovel in your hands, what kind of magic weapon it is, think about what kind of armor you are wearing, there are only more than 300 people, do you want to escape? ”
There are few people who dare to stay away from their hometown and go to the bitter cold land of Liaodong to mix with the caravan, and Yang Wenhua's magical equipment has also given everyone incomparable confidence.
The equipment was tested, and when we first arrived, we were a little inexperienced, and one of them was attacked by a tiger on the first day.
This is a huge Siberian tiger, and the person who was attacked was lucky, plus his skills were also passable, and the first time he was scratched by the tiger in the back.
After rolling two laps and getting up, I also got through the most panicked time, and I saw that I couldn't run away, what should I do?
Then you can only carry the sapper shovel desperately.
The final result was that the tiger became a pot of meat, and the person who was attacked was only a bruise on the back of his chest, Sun Simiao gave him some medicine to drink, and after resting for two days, he began to continue to look for old ginseng for Yang Wenhua.
With this incident as a foundation, the morale of more than 100 people has always been very high, and in the face of 300 regular troops at this time, of course, they can't be coaxed.
"You can't run, hit it."
"yes, kill them."
Facing the passionate shouts of his subordinates, Cui Yuan was a little at a loss, and Yang Wenhua felt a little disappointed in his eyes.
There are many people, even if it is a family, they will naturally divide into factions, this one caravan, but Cui Yuan's lineage.
At this time, the caravan steward stepped forward to salute Yang Wenhua first, and then whispered to Cui Yuan: "Young master, you can't withdraw at this time."
The brothers came out to run the business, relying on a spirit, no matter what happened, if they withdrew so easily, this spirit would be discharged.
In the future, the brothers will not only be unable to raise their spirits in ordinary work, but when they encounter something again, they will not be able to raise their desperate energy, and in the future, the business will only be restricted everywhere.
The caravan is finished. ”
Although the caravan steward spoke clearly and saved Cui Yuan face everywhere, Cui Yuan still showed annoyance and asked the steward: "Then what do you say?"
The caravan steward smiled awkwardly, although he was a little disappointed in Cui Yuan, he didn't show it, but arched his hand to Yang Wenhua, "Let Lord Yang tell you." ”
Yang Wenhua patted Cui Yuan on the shoulder and comforted: "Brother put it down, these are just chickens and dogs, and the brother will definitely protect the elder brother thoroughly." ”
In a few words, the people and horses below were already approaching within two hundred meters.
Yang Wenhua didn't pay any attention to Cui Yuan, but went down more than ten meters, found a big tree where he could hide, leaned against the big tree, and shouted to the people below: "Stop?"
