"Master, here!" A small guy crawled out of the tent, undressed, rubbing his eyes as he ran.

"Master, what do you command?" The little guy came to the old man, nodded and asked.

"Push the car out of the way, I'll go for a walk."

"Yes!" The little guy hurriedly pushed a car away and opened a hole.

The old man raised his leg and was about to leave, but he stopped and pointed to the people lying on the ground around the fire in the center and said, "Wake them up, one person will receive ten whips, how is it worth the night!" ”

With that, he brushed his sleeves and left.

I had just walked a few steps, but I heard the little guy shouting inside, "Master, master! ”

"What's the alarm!" The old man looked displeased, turned around and paced to the fire.

"Die... Dead! The little guy looked nervous, and pointed to the few people on the ground who were staggering and motionless.

The old man's face changed, and he hurriedly squatted down and checked the breathing and pulse of these people one by one.

"Get some water." The old man commanded.

The little guy didn't react for a while, "Huh? What do you say, sir? ”

"I told you to find some water, they're not dead yet!" The old man shouted angrily, and then said hatefully, "When will you wake up the others again, and you will still sleep." ”

"Oh!" The little servant woke up from a dream and hurried into the tent.

After a while, the surrounding tents were noisy, and two people, each holding a jar of water, rushed to the old man's side first, and the others also gathered around one after another.

"Look what's so lively!" The old man scolded the people who came up, "Go to the car and take a look at the goods!" ”

The crowd scattered in all directions, and only a few remained with the old man.

"Wow!" Several handfuls of water were splashed on the faces of the men on the ground, and several of them groaned twice and woke up.

The only one who can never wake up again.

After carefully inspecting the injuries of several people, a big man whispered in the old man's ear, "They all fainted after being hit in the neck with a heavy hand, and the one who died should be caused by the other party's lack of strength." ”

The old man's face turned pale, "I'm afraid it's not that I don't have the strength to stop it, but I don't want to collect it at all." ”

Dahan nodded, "It's possible." ”

"Oh no, master, the goods are gone, all of them are gone!" Someone stumbled over to report the news.

Then, the people who had just dispersed all came back to tell them that all the goods in their cars were gone.

The old man's face became more and more ugly, and when the last person also ran back to say that there was no goods, he suddenly flew up and kicked the person back two steps, "I'm not blind, can't I see?" ”

After that, he pointed to his eyes, and pointed to the surrounding vehicles, which were originally bulging and covered with oilcloths, all of which were shriveled, except for a few oilcloths occasionally, and all kinds of goods on the cars were carried clean.

No wonder as soon as he came out of the tent this morning, he felt that something was wrong, but he didn't look around at the time, so he didn't notice it.

When he found that the guards on duty at night had fainted, the old man noticed the abnormality of the vehicle, but he was still lucky, so he let people count it, but this secret opponent did not leave him any hope.

Well, there was some left for him, and when the old man went out just now, the car that was moved was still there, so he didn't notice it immediately at that time.

"Send more people out, see how the other convoys are doing, and come back as soon as possible to report to me." After the old man finished speaking, he walked straight towards the tent, it was all this time, how could he have any intention to go out and spread it, even if he waited for breakfast, he might not be able to eat it for a while.

By the way, I don't know how much food is left, but there are thousands of people before and after.

The caravans of these eight grain merchants were huge, often twenty or thirty carts in a circle, and when viewed from the air, they were strung together one after another, like a giant centipede.

This lifeless centipede, starting from a circle in the middle, seemed to suddenly come to life, and the originally tightly knit circle was opened one or several gaps one after another, with small black dots going in and out, and then gradually, all surging towards the circle where the chaos began to occur at the beginning.

"Brother Fan, how is this good?" In the tent, several people were in a hurry, and one of them spoke.

"Yes, I don't know which way of thieves, with such a means of reaching the sky, actually emptied all the goods without alarming us." The other said, with a look of incredulity.

"There's not even a trace of it around, it's really god." There is also a person with a big heart, and he actually admires it a little.

"The two royal brothers are calm and don't be impatient, several, sit down first." The old man who first noticed the abnormality spoke, and he was the leader of the eight major grain merchants, Fan Xuan, the father of Fan Yongdou.

The other people are the heads of the remaining seven families.

The eight grain merchants were all the heads of the families themselves, for fear that something would go wrong, but they didn't expect to be served by someone.

Fan Xuan was still very calm on the surface, but he was also very anxious in his heart, his most important eldest son Fan Yongdou was still missing, and this happened again.

Thinking of Fan Yongdou, Fan Xuan's heart felt a burst of disgust, his throat was sweet, and a bloody breath poured up from his mouth, "Goo! The mouthful of blood that had reached his mouth was swallowed by him.

At this time, as the leader of the grain merchants in northern Jinbei, he can't fall, at least not in front of so many people.

"Everyone, have you seen it, and what's left?" Fan Xuan took a sip of tea quietly, took out a square handkerchief, and wiped the corners of his mouth clean.

"I still have ten carts of grain, two thousand catties." One said.

"I only have five carts of salt." The other had a hideous face.

The others also reported what they only had, and someone next to them wrote it down, and finally handed the result to Fan Xuan.

Fortunately, there are still nearly 10,000 catties of food, enough for the caravan to eat for about ten days, and the salt is also enough, and Fan Xuan doesn't care about other things, which is not helpful to the current situation.

According to the situation of on-site investigation, there are always one or two cars of items missing in each lap of the convoy, and the more vehicles, the more obvious this situation is.

How did he know, this is not enough manpower, but only one manpower, Zhiwen used the "clever empty" method, at the beginning of the brain was clear, and he could do it without omission, but later, on the one hand, he was a little dizzy by so many cars, which cars have visited, which cars have not, I can't remember clearly.

On the other hand, it is necessary to hurry, so it is not swept away, it can be regarded as leaving some way for the eight major grain merchants to live, otherwise, in this icy and snowy grassland, there is no food, and you can only wait for death, just rely on those mules and horses, but you can't milk much.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the matter has come to this point, no matter how much you complain, it is better to think about how to get through the difficulties together." Fan Xuan shook the piece of paper in his hand and said to everyone.
