Section 3 Road idiot is attacked
In the capital of the Great Xia Dynasty, Zhang Xiaoxiong, who had restored the name of Duan Lang, was drinking sullen wine alone in a corner of the tavern. He shouldn't have gone to the capital city, but Duan Lang had never gone far and liked to go to a deserted and secluded place, and after walking for more than half a month, he knew that he had gone in the wrong direction and came to this capital.
Lidu City is an important place of north-south trade, from here to the southeast through the desert, it enters the southern Forte of Great Xia. If you don't go through the desert, you will go a long way.
Duan Langxin said that if he knew this, it was better to go to Jingji Mountain to worship his parents first, and then transfer to Xining from there. However, since he came, Duan Lang could only cross the desert and take the nearest road.
After some inquiry, Duan Lang understood that a lone traveler like him would generally follow the caravan so that he would not lose his way. Moreover, there are many bandits and robbers in the remote areas of the Great Xia Kingdom, and it is easy to be robbed if you go alone. Large caravans hire dart escorts, which are relatively safe.
Duan Lang didn't care about the robbers, he couldn't beat him and he could escape, as long as there were mountains, forests and trees, he believed that few people could catch up with his ability to escape. However, when Duan Lang learned that he was going to cross the desert, he had to consider joining a caravan. After all, Duan Lang, who lives in the mountains, is very unfamiliar with the desert. I just heard from Mr. Teach that it is very terrible to get lost in the desert.
Duan Lang sipped the wine while sipping the side dishes, and did not rush to find out if there were any merchants who went to Xining City. "Filmmaker's Record" said well, money in a strange place opens the way, Duan Lang has already given the shopkeeper a few dollars of broken silver, and he believes that the news will be sent soon.
After the shopkeeper was busy, he quietly came to Duan Lang's side, "Guest officer, you are really here, in the commercial distribution center in the west of the city, there is a caravan going south, and it is said that it will leave early tomorrow morning." ”
Duan Lang showed an innocent smile, "Little brother, thank you, is that caravan easy to find?" ”
"The convoy of Changfeng Trading Company, that is a large caravan, it is estimated that it will cost a lot of silver to walk with them." The little guy whispered.
Duan Lang smiled and took out a little loose silver to express his gratitude. Since he would leave the city early tomorrow morning, Duan Lang hurriedly finished eating and hurried to the west of the city.
There is a large threshing floor in the west of the capital city, in which a lot of chariots and horses are gathered. Most of the caravans loaded and unloaded from here, and the official family did not charge much. As soon as Duan Lang made a simple inquiry, he found the gathering place of Changfeng Commercial Bank.
"Uncle, I want to take a convenient ride tomorrow, I don't know who to find?" Duan Lang looked at an old horseman and asked politely.
The old groom looked at Duan Lang, "Young man, go to the third tent inside and ask our Steward Wu." ”
"Hey, thank you, uncle." Duan Lang politely hugged his fists and walked inside.
According to what the old man said, Duan Lang was stopped by two big men as soon as he arrived at the door of the tent.
"What do you do? This is the territory of Changfeng Trading House, so hurry away. ”
"This eldest brother, I am a lone individual traveler, and I want to take a ride with your bank tomorrow, so please let the eldest brother report to the steward."
"Individual passengers hitchhiking?" The big man at the door looked at it, "You wait a minute." ”
After a few breaths, the big man walked out, "Go in, my housekeeper wants to ask you." ”
Duan Lang politely hugged his fists and walked in, this tent is not small, and there are two people sitting on the felt carpet inside. One of them is an old man, and the other is a sick little boy.
Duan Lang clenched his fists, "In Duan Lang, Xiafengluan County, I want to go to Xining City to make a living, and I hope that the steward will give me convenience." ”
"Fengluan County? What do you do? ”
The old man looked Duan Lang up and down, don't look at Duan Lang is not yet seventeen, but his body is very strong. In particular, the scar on the face exudes a special temperament.
"I haven't done any errands, my father is a hunter." Duan Lang replied truthfully.
"Orion, have you practiced martial arts?" The old man looked at the mountain knife on Duan Lang's waist.
Duan Lang smiled, "Mountain and wild hunters, how can you know any martial arts." But daily hunting, but there is a clumsy strength. If I unload a cargo or something on the way, I can help. ”
"Then you~ Do you have a guide from the government?"
"This~ no." Duan Lang scratched his head, he didn't know that he still needed a guide to walk outside.
"I'm sorry, I can't take in my convoy without a guide."
"I can give money, I won't eat and drink for nothing."
"That's not good, you said you are a hunter, who can prove it, if you really want to investigate, we will be responsible. Boy, let's go ask the other caravans. The old man said, leaving a cold face.
"This~ Okay, then don't bother the two of you."
Duan Langxin said that if you don't take me away, won't Lao Tzu follow me far away? Not to mention a convoy, it is not easy for a wolf to get rid of Lao Tzu's tracking.
Duan Lang had just walked to the door of the big tent, but he heard the sick little boy say softly, "Wait." ”
"Uncle Wu, let him stay, there are no other convoys going south here, and it is very dangerous for him to cross the desert alone." The young man said to the old man.
"But~Childe~."
"That's it, he's from an Orion background, and if the convoy is camping in the wild, he can also help take care of it. This son, your name?? ”
Duan Lang hurriedly hugged his fists, "In the next Duan Lang, the villagers in the mountains and fields dare not call Gongzi, thank you Gongzi for agreeing to accompany him." ”
Brother Xiao Gongzi nodded, "Duan Lang, the convoy will leave tomorrow, don't be late." ”
Duan Lang thanked him again, and then walked out. As soon as Duan Lang left, the old man said anxiously.
"Miss, this man is sturdy, his origin is unknown, and he has a scar on his face, which is a fierce appearance. In case it's the one who sent it, this way~? The old man looked at the young man worriedly.
"Uncle Wu, don't be suspicious, if it's really Xiangguo's minions, then get rid of him. Well, my injuries are a little painful again, and I need to take a break. After the young 'childe' finished speaking, he waved his slender and pale hand.
The old man sighed slightly, got up and hugged his fists to say goodbye. Walking out of the big tent, the old man immediately arranged for several big men to protect the big tent closely.
Early the next morning, Lang arrived early before the end of the day. Since the son agreed, the old man in charge didn't say anything more. According to the regulations, Duan Lang was charged eight coins of silver, which was regarded as the cost of food along the way.
All the tents were collected, and a dozen carts and horses left the threshing floor in a big way. Duan Lang talked and laughed with the horsemen and handymen of the team along the way, and by the way, he inquired about the customs of Xining.
Unconsciously, three days later, Duan Lang found that the young man rarely got out of the car, and his frame doors and windows were closed, often emitting a strong medicinal fragrance. Duan Lang judged that the boy should be seriously ill, otherwise he would not have covered himself so tightly.
The weather was crisp and crisp, and the convoy soon came to the edge of the desert. Listening to the old groom, it will take more than ten days to get out of the desert. Looking at the endless yellow sand, Duan Lang couldn't help but feel a sense of pride. If he wasn't in the convoy, he would have wanted to look up to the sky and let out a few long howls.
Duan Lang looked up at the sky, an eagle was soaring in the air, and from time to time it made a few eagle chirps. A smile appeared on Duan Lang's face, it was his big fly. Walking out of Fengluan Mountain this time, the only thing Duan Lang brought was the eagle flying. Anyway, he needs Dafei to get in touch with his father. In case something happens to Daddy and Big Bear, he can come back in time.
As soon as he entered the desert, Duan Lang suddenly felt a rolling heat wave rushing towards him. Fortunately, it is not the windy season, and the whole desert is very calm. However, Duan Lang was strange that the boy could bear it, and he still hid in the car and rarely showed up.
After more than ten days of travel, Duan Lang finally knew the benefits of following the team. Even if he is secretly followed, I am afraid that the water source alone will drink him to death. No wonder two more cars were added before entering the desert, and the oil barrels on them were full of water.
"Old and young masters, work hard, there is still half a day to get out of the desert. When the time comes, you can rinse it well. The old coachman who led the team shouted loudly, encouraging everyone.
Duan Lang was also very happy when he heard this, he experienced the suffering of the desert for the first time, and he was about to go crazy. Duan Lang glanced back at the desert yellow sand he was walking by, and said in his heart that if the big bear followed, it was estimated that it would be able to pull off the bear skin by itself. Duan Lang was just about to urge the horse forward, when at this moment, there were suddenly several strange eagle chirps in the air.
Duan Lang was slightly stunned, Da Fei was warning him? Don't look at Da Fei as a mountain eagle, but animals are far more sensitive to danger than humans. Could it be that there is danger ahead?
Duan Lang hesitated, not knowing whether to tell the steward or not. Along the way, Duan Lang had already realized that Steward Wu was very wary of him. Even, when camping at night, there are people who keep an eye on him. Duan Lang didn't care, if the other party really had killing intent, he couldn't hide his perception at all. After all, he is a person who grew up drinking wolf milk, and he has a natural vigilance against killing intent.
Duan Lang didn't tell the manager of the crisis in the end, after all, people didn't trust him, and no one believed him when he said it. What's more, there are a lot of dart masters in this team, and ordinary bandits can't help it at all.
After more than ten days of travel, the caravan finally walked out of the boundless desert. The whole convoy cheered at the sight of the green meadows.
The convoy continued to move forward, and the old coachman who led the team was familiar with the road, and soon after leaving the desert, he took everyone to a stream. The steward waved his hand and said arrogantly.
"The convoy gathered, smashed the horse farm, and everyone rested."
The convoy erupted in cheers, and everyone began to get busy. Duan Lang was not happy, but showed a look of vigilance. Unlike the rest of the team, Duan Lang was in the air, smelling a hint of blood.
"Young man, if you don't go down and take a shower, this dress is all on your body." A horseman shouted Duan Lang happily.
"Uncle, you go first, I'll go after a rest." Duan Lang said, looking at a jungle on the left side vigilantly.
Just as everyone was cheering and running towards the stream, suddenly, sharp arrows were fired from the woods.
"Be careful, there's an ambush!"
Duan Lang's face changed and he shouted, flew off the horse and rolled over and hid at the bottom of the carriage.
The old steward Wu Bo was also stunned and panicked for a moment, and leaned back to avoid the sharp arrow.
"All the guards listen to the order, protect the young lady, and withdraw!"
Wu Bo said, took out a long knife from the horse's bag, danced a knife and flashed the sharp arrow towards the child's car.
Duan Lang, who was hiding at the bottom of the carriage, couldn't help but be stunned when he listened, 'Miss'? It turned out that the sick boy in the car was a mother!
Duan Lang did not panic, but hid at the bottom of the carriage and did not move. Duan Lang grabbed the ground with both hands, and stared at the jungle opposite with a pair of eyes. He is like a cheetah, peeking at his prey in the dark.
