At midnight, under the dark night, a figure quietly came out of the tent, it was Zhiwen.

Zhiwen looked around carefully, except for the various snoring sounds coming from the various tents, there was no other movement, even Lin Yuan, who he had been wary of, was snoring loudly in the tent.

At this moment, it is the time when people sleep deepest, and in order to entertain Zhiwen and them, many people drank wine before going to bed, and they slept even more dead.

Nodding secretly, Zhiwen was very satisfied, the situation was even better than he expected, there was not even a single vigilant person, I don't know if they were all drunk, or if there was no such arrangement in the first place.

It's just right to facilitate his movements.

Zhiwen quietly came to the carriage, where their horses were all bolted, and gently woke up his horse.

First took out a few handfuls of alfalfa and fed them to the horse, and while it was eating deliciously, he wrapped all four horses' hooves in cloth to prevent it from making too much noise when he rode on the horse, and then untied the reins, led the horse, and walked almost silently towards the outside of the camp.

Zhiwen's target tonight was to follow the eight grain merchant caravans in front of them for several days, and he planned to ride a horse along the trail for a while, and then abandon the horse and walk near the caravan, sneak into the other party's camp, and sweep away the supplies.

Zhiwen has been deliberately keeping a distance before, neither far nor close, hurry up, and be able to catch up in more than an hour.

Originally, it could have been delayed for a few more days, and it would have been better to wait for the vigilance of the Fan caravan to be lower, but when they arrived at Lin Yuan and their tribe today, they were bound to be delayed for some time, although they didn't have to worry about losing the other party's traces, but the distance was far away and it was inconvenient to move, and he didn't want to have any variables.

Zhiwen didn't want to dream a lot at night, so he simply started in advance, it had been some time since he got out of the jam, and the caravan's vigilance should have been lowered a lot, although it was not the best time to make a move, but it was not bad.

After the figure of Zhiwen and his horse disappeared into the night, the curtain of their carriage was opened, and three small heads poked out.

"Nannan, why don't we follow and see what Brother Xiaozhi is going to do?" Xiaoying whispered.

Nan Nan shook her head slowly, "Brother must be going to do something big, let's follow, it's a burden." ”

Zhiwen felt that the ground was damp, which was not good for the health of the three girls, so he didn't let them sleep in the tent, vacated the carriage, and let the three of them sleep on the car, the carriage door curtain was very thick, so there was no need to worry about the cold wind.

Just now, Zhiwen was feeding the horses and untying the reins by the carriage, although the action was light, it still alarmed the three little girls, who, like Zhiwen, had never drunk and slept not so deadly.

It's just that the three of them were silent, and they didn't dare to move until Zhiwen walked away.

Xiaoying pouted, knowing that Nan Nan was telling the truth, they were not riding horses well enough now, and they might not be able to keep up with Zhiwen, but they could barely keep up, with Zhiwen's extraordinary hearing, there was a chance that they would be discovered, and Zhiwen would be distracted to take care of them at that time.

"I'm sleepy, let's sleep." Niuniu yawned, "Let's not bother Brother Xiao Zhi." ”

......

Lin Yuan woke up from his deep sleep, and there was already a glimmer of light in the sky, which made him blame himself a little, the wine was really a mistake, and he should drink less in the future, usually he got up before dawn.

Lin Qiao was outside the tent, carrying two buckets with tools in them, and was about to go to the river to fetch water.

"Qiao'er!"

"Brother, are you awake? Let's sleep a little longer, I drank so much wine last night, I'm going to fetch water. ”

"Don't, I'd better go, you have little strength, it's hard to dig the ice, wait for me for a while, and it'll be fine right away." As he spoke, Lin Yuan put on his clothes, walked out of the tent, and took the bucket from Lin Qiao's hand.

"Go back to the tent and stay, brother will be back in a while."

Coming to the river, Lin Yuan found the surface of the river that had been chiseled yesterday, and broke the ice away with a few clicks, revealing the slowly flowing river below.

I had just fetched a bucket of water when I heard the sound of horses' hooves.

Who's up so early? Lin Yuan was secretly puzzled.

You know, usually the whole tribe is the first to get up, although today he was delayed because of drinking, but the others are not the same.

"Yo, Brother Zheng, it's so early, go out for a walk." Lin Yuan turned around and saw Zhiwen riding along the river.

Well, he didn't drink last night, no wonder he got up so early.

Zhiwen was secretly glad that the horse had been fed by his alfalfa and couldn't get rid of it, and when he went to the vicinity of Fan's camp last night, he couldn't even find anything to tie the horse, so he could only leave a few alfalfa and let it stay alone, for fear that when he was done with his errands, the horse would run away.

To his surprise, when he returned to his place, the horse was still waiting for him.

If he has a horse to ride, he will come back in time, and no one should be able to find him.

Just as he was thinking this, Lin Yuan suddenly greeted him, which startled him.

"Ahh Brother Lin. Zhiwen saw Lin Yuan by the river, "Ah... Yes, I always wake up early, I have nothing to do, I just go out for a walk. ”

After speaking, Zhiwen raised his hand and rubbed it on his face a few times, trying to hide the tiredness on his face.

He hardly slept this night, although he was free before midnight, he didn't dare to sleep, for fear of oversleeping, after midnight, it would be even busier, so busy that he didn't have time to take stock of the harvest now.

"What, didn't you sleep well last night?" Lin Yuan pinned the tool to his waist, picked up two buckets of water and asked.

"I didn't sleep well." Zhiwen knew that he couldn't get over, so he simply admitted it decisively, and then made up an excuse, "I have some recognition of the bed, so I slept in a different place, and I didn't sleep well on the first night." ”

"Come to my place in a while, have a good meal, and the person will be sober."

"No, no, you don't have much food, we'll get it ourselves." Zhiwen knew their family background and did not want to take advantage.

"Hey, look down on me, I can still afford a meal."

The two are chatting here.

But at the same time, in the camp of the eight major grain merchants, an old man, with sideburns and beard under the brim of his hat, was a little gray, neatly dressed, and walked out of the tent.

When you are old, you don't sleep well, and you get up early, and the same is true for the elderly.

He used to take advantage of the fact that there was still a moment before breakfast, to go around and move his muscles, and by the way to see if these bodyguards on duty at night were lazy.

"Come on, push the car away, I'll go out for a walk." As usual, the old man came to a carriage and said in a deep voice, well, something seems to be wrong today.

When the foreign traders were in a hurry, when they rested at night, they all put the car in a circle, and people rested and guarded in the circle, and when they encountered horse thieves, they could rely on the vehicle for protection.

With the old man's physical strength, he naturally couldn't drive a car alone, and besides, he had a noble status, so it was not his turn to do this kind of thing.

In the past, as long as he said this, someone would naturally come forward and push the car away for him and let him go out for a walk.

It's just that today, these words have been down for a while, and there is no movement at all.

"Are they all dead?" The old man was on fire, he knew that after so many days after coming out of the plug, the people on duty at night would inevitably be careless and lazy to sleep, but the sky began to brighten, and he called people so loudly, and there was no movement at all, which was too unusual.
