Chapter 367: Someone is tracking
The flames on the fire jumped happily, licking the kettle hanging above it and squeaking, and the water was about to boil.
"Brother Zhi, is Zhuolu Mountain coming?" The well-fed Bagen reclined on the ground, contentedly took out the tea leaves from his backpack, and prepared to make tea.
Bagen rubbed his new clothes with one hand, which were made of linen, sweat-absorbing and breathable, and were worn on his body in the summer, much cooler and more comfortable than sheepskin or something, he had never thought that there were such comfortable clothes in the world, and he actually wore them.
This is when they passed through a large market town, Zhiwen specially asked someone to do it for everyone, except for Zhiwen and the three girls, everyone had a share, and it was delayed for several days.
Zhiwen also promised that because he was in a hurry, one person would make a set to wear first, and when he arrived at Zhuolu Mountain, he would make a few more sets of clothes for everyone.
Xue Ping, Tao Yong and Qian Zhengqian are in charge, they have seen it in the Central Plains before, from sheepskin to sackcloth, in addition to feeling relaxed, it is quite stable, other Mongolian people, as well as Hai Dongqing and his people, but they can't hold their breath, they all shout, they can't put down their clothes, no one is willing to wear them, if it weren't for Zhiwen's forced order for them to wear them, it is estimated that they will all have to hide their clothes.
"Soon, one day, we will be able to get to the market town where our trading company is." Liangtian Tunbao and Dongbalibao passed by when they went to Zhangjiakou a few years ago, and Zhiwen had an impression and roughly remembered the journey.
Before leaving, Zhou Chengyun had already purchased a house in the market town closest to Zhuolu Mountain, Zhiwen knew it, but it was after he left to call it Zhuolu Ji.
"Really?" Xue Ping's eyes also shone brightly, he had been away from the Central Plains for a long time, he thought that he would probably die on the grassland in this life, and then his body was gnawed to pieces by a group of wild wolves, with only a few bones left.
"That's right," Zhiwen snorted, "but the place is too small to accommodate so many people, let's rest for one night at most, and we still have to go to Zhuolu Mountain to settle down, um... It will take two to three days to get from the market town to the mountains. ”
After speaking, Zhiwen shrugged his nose and took a few breaths, finally there was no such heavy smell.
As the saying goes, "I don't feel the smell of squatting in the toilet for a long time", Zhiwen has been on the grassland for so long, and the smell of these Mongolian people has also changed from being unaccustomed and unsuitable at the beginning, to almost nothing at the beginning, and now thinking about it, it is estimated that it stinks almost like the Mongolian people at that time.
Back to the Central Plains, after passing Zhangjiakou, I found a big market town on the road, Zhiwen took three girls, as well as Liu Cai, Qian Zheng, Xue Ping and Tao Yong, a few Han people, deliberately went to take a bath, and after washing refreshing, changing into clean clothes and returning to the team, the nose that had been out of order for a long time regained its sense of smell, and the body odor and smell came to the nose again and again, so that people couldn't open their eyes.
Zhiwen had to dispel the idea of rushing back to Zhuolu Mountain as soon as possible, and stayed at the edge of the town for a few more days, in addition to finding someone to make a new set of clothes for these guys, and let them wash the water in the ditch for a few days, the weather was hot, and he was not afraid that someone would get frostbite.
The effect is remarkable, and now on the bodies of Bagan and others, except for the milky smell that can't be washed off no matter how much you wash it, the other smells are already very light.
"Goo-goo-goo!" Bagen drank the tea buffalo down in a few sips, smashed his mouth in satisfaction, and asked, "Brother Zhi, when you arrive at Zhuolu Mountain, do you really want to make us new clothes?" ”
"Nonsense!" Zhiwen was impatient, "You don't change your clothes when they're dirty?" No matter how new the clothes are, if you don't change or wash them for a few days, they will stink, you know? If you weren't in a hurry to get home, I should have made a few more sets for each of you a few days ago. ”
"Hehe," Bagen smiled flatteringly, picked up the teapot and poured a bowl of tea for Zhiwen, "Then we'll thank Brother Zhi." At the same time, I was secretly glad in my heart, following Zhiwen's decision at that time, it was really wise, if I stayed in the grassland, such good clothes, let alone wear, I couldn't imagine it.
The sound of horses' hooves sounded and then disappeared around him, and then the footsteps of "Click" sounded, Zhiwen knew that this was Hai Dongqing, who had gone out with someone to spy on the news and road conditions, had returned.
"Childe!" Hai Dongqing first said hello to Zhiwen, he now speaks more Chinese, and then sat on the ground, took a bowl of tea handed to him by Xue Ping, and drank it dry in a few gulps.
"Whew..."With a long breath, Hai Dongqing put the empty bowl on the ground and reported to Zhi Wenyu, "Childe, there are more and more people tracking us. ”
Zhiwen shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly, "Since Zhangjiakou, it hasn't stopped, they all want to find out our details, forget it, just watch them closer." ”
"There are several more groups of people to watch tonight!" Hai Dongqing continued.
"It's not strange," Steward Qian continued, "Bao'an Prefecture, the major forces have strongholds here, and it is difficult for us to not attract attention with such a large horse team." ”
Zhiwen nodded and explained, "Hai Dongqing, as long as these people are not too much on the official road, you don't have to pay attention to it, but when you go to Zhuolu Mountain on the official road, you can't let these nasty flies follow. ”
Although the location of Zhuolu Mountain will be exposed sooner or later, and maybe because of the wanton recruitment after the Lantern Festival and the batch of sweaters sold, some people already know, but it is better to hide it for a while.
"Yes, Childe!" Hai Dongqing replied respectfully, it was the young man in front of him who gave him a full meal and put on new clothes, and he was willing to work for it.
"But according to what you said, there are a lot of flies in this group, can you and a dozen of your kindreds be busy?" Zhiwen asked.
"No problem, Childe." Xue Ping smiled and said for Hai Dongqing, "You don't know, those Mengren, at first you let them take a bath reluctantly, and after putting on the new clothes that Gongzi you found someone to make, I was very excited, and now I have nowhere to go, and I want to work for Gongzi, as long as I say hello, a lot of people rush to do it, and I can't drive it away, right, Bagen?" ”
Bagen snorted, "That's right, we Mongolians are like this, according to your Han people's words, that's called dropping what grace, what is rewarding." ”
"The grace of a drop of water is reciprocated by a spring!" Liu Cai said one by one.
"yes, that's what I said." Bagan Road.
Zhiwen smiled and shook his head, these Mongolian people recruited, since they were able to eat enough with Zhiwen, their loyalty was actually not low, and now they had no intention of making new clothes for them, but I didn't expect them to be even more desperate.
