"Childe, who were those men in black armor yesterday afternoon? Why are they following us? ”

Xiao Junru still looked radiant in the days when she started to go out of the plug, but after a long time, she lost interest, and in the past few days, she has been bored to the extreme in front of the withered and yellow sky and earth, and she always wants to find someone to talk to. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In those years, there were no mobile phones or game consoles, not even time-tossing villain books, and she couldn't read the dizziness of those tomes bumping on the carriage.

"Would you like to ride a horse for a while?"

Liu Zhi knew that she was bored, and of course she had some curiosity in it, so she found a topic to distract her.

The little girl was really fooled, and when she heard Liu Zhi say that she was allowed to ride a horse, she suddenly became excited, and her eyes lit up.

"Is that okay? Son! ”

"Well, but the time can't be too long, the little red horse has been eating hay these days, and it seems to be a little uncomfortable, it must be spoiled by your usual time, so the strength is not very sufficient, you don't ride too long, lest it be soft and turn you down."

Liu Zhi said and glanced at Junru's little red horse, this horse is actually not small, the skeleton has grown, but it is still slightly shorter than the average horse, and the body size is also smaller, this guy is a bit picky eater, and his temper is estimated to be the same as its owner, just a few days after coming to the grassland, he saw the wide Gobi Desert, and he excitedly opened his four hooves and wanted to break free from the reins, and galloped wildly, but after a few days, it became uninterested, and there was no vegetation on the Gobi Desert. The forage that the horses eat has been carried before, it is all hay, it may taste bad when chewed, this guy is a bit picky, he doesn't want to eat it after smelling it a few times, and he has almost lost weight in Chang'an City before a few days, and it looks much worse to be cautious these days.

The so-called genius is what people do that people can't understand for a while, and when people can understand what they do, they will either die of old age, or they will study whether God exists or not.

The little red horse is not very gregarious, there are ten people in their group, but there are thirteen horses, most of them are pulling horses, several dart masters ride the war horses bought in the army, Liu Zhi and Fang Xingtian's horses are also this kind of war horses, the type probably belongs to the type of Hequ horse, the body size is relatively large, the endurance is average, the explosive power is OK, this kind of horse is easier to feed, and the temperament is also docile, especially the old horse, the longer it is tamed, or the longer it is to follow people, the more docile their temperament is, Hurtful things rarely happen.

Horses are biting, don't look at its teeth are relatively blunt, biting people is still very painful, and they also eat meat, this is what Liu Zhi didn't know before, the last time I took a piece of barbecue to sit and eat on the side, but was brought over by his own mount Xiaoqing, smelled a few times, Liu Zhi felt very fresh, and came to the interest, so he handed the barbecue to its mouth, I didn't expect it to really bite away, chewed a few mouthfuls and then rumbled, swallowed, and then took Liu Zhi's face with great interest, obviously still want to eat, Herbivores actually eat meat, which can be regarded as a long experience.

The little red horse is not social, the attitude towards these horses bigger than it is not good, if anyone gets close to it, it will bite and hoof, several horses' legs have been injured by its hooves, very annoying, plus it has lost its appetite these days, and its body is getting thinner and thinner, Liu Zhi did not let Junru ride the horse, first, he was afraid that the little red horse would bite her, and secondly, he was afraid that the little red horse would have weak legs, and he fell her down.

But now it seems that there is no such problem, and the little red horse is obviously still very loyal to his little master.

Junru is only seven and a half years old, not tall, the little red horse is taller than her, if there is no one to help, it is difficult for her to go up by herself, but when ****** just reined in her horse and was about to hold her up, she saw the little red horse kneeling on the ground with its front legs, and then the horse's head rubbed to the side, so that Xiao Junru stepped on its head and got on the horse, so that Junru had a stepping foot, and the height of the horse's back had been reduced a lot, so it was easier to go up.

The little girl knew that the little red horse was not in a good state recently, so she gently stroked it in its ear, whispered something that belonged to the two of them, and then followed the team slowly forward, and after a while, it fell behind, Liu Zhi had to let the team slow down slightly, it was already evening at this time, and it was time to find a place to set up camp.

"Childe, looking at the weather, it seems to be raining, the place where we camped today should be set up on a slightly open terrain, it is best to cross this valley, the rain on the Gobi comes and goes quickly, basically it is a torrential rain, it is very urgent, once the rain falls, it will soon form rain, if it is close to the valley, the rain on the mountain will be washed down after collecting, our camp will definitely suffer!"

Xia Yuntian has a lot of experience, he has walked this road many times, and after seeing the weather change color, he was a little worried, Liu Zhi knew that he was inexperienced, so he relied on Xia Yuntian a lot in these things.

Xia Yuntian was speculating about their identities all the way, after he saw Fang Xingtian's skills, he was very interested in the identities of these three people, among the three, Liu Zhi was obviously the master, so his identity was definitely not ordinary, otherwise, a master like Fang Xingtian would definitely not obey him, at this time, he was very happy to see Liu Zhi's words to him, after all, it felt very good to be valued, especially if the other party was still a capable person.

After waiting for a while, after Xiao Junru came up, the group continued to march forward for a while, and then set up a village on a relatively open hillside.

About two or three miles behind them, several samurai in black leather clothes were still watching them.

"Young eunuch, they seem to have set up a village, should we also set up a village?"

The man he called the young eunuch was a young man in his early twenties, and he had very sharp eyes, and there was a fine light in his eyes, and at first glance he looked like a person who had practiced martial arts and was very extraordinary.

The young man looked up at the sky, it was indeed getting darker and darker, and he saw that there was about to be a rainstorm, and in such weather, it was estimated that the wind would start immediately after the rain, and when the time came, their vision would be greatly affected by the fog, and if the other party set off after the rain, they might lose their target.

"Advance half a mile, find a hidden position and set up camp, be careful not to let the other party discover us, there are two masters among them, you are not their opponent!"

The young man didn't say much, but he was a little arrogant, but his subordinates were still respectful to him, and after listening to his instructions, he said yes, and then left quickly to arrange.

The young man took a birdcage on horseback, took a small piece of cloth, wrote a few lines on it, rolled it up and put it in a small bamboo tube, plugged it in, tied it to the pigeon's leg, and released the pigeon.

On the small dirt slope in front, several people are camping, the camp has been basically set up, Liu Zhi and Xiao Junru are in an account, because they have been targeted by horse thieves along the way in the past few days, so in order to ensure the safety of Xiao Junru, Liu Zhi let her move to his tent, the extra tent must be used to put supplies, today it is going to rain, if the thing is wet, it will be very troublesome, there are a lot of paper books, once wet, it is estimated that it will fall apart.

At this time, the paper is divided into bamboo paper, hemp paper and rice paper, etc., among which the bamboo paper is cheap, but not very beautiful, the color is yellow, and relatively rough, and the yellow paper money used to worship the ancestors in later generations is somewhat similar, but the quality is not so good, this paper is the most common paper on the market, the price is cheap, the quality is poor, can not be rubbed, a rub to be broken.

The hemp paper is less cost-effective, troublesome, and of poor quality, so it is not used much.

As for rice paper, this kind of paper comes from Xuanzhou, Anhui Province, is made of the bark of sandalwood, the process is more complicated, but the quality of the paper is very good, and the paper is very white, and it is also very smooth and smooth, so it has become the paper used for office writing in the upper class, but the manufacture of this paper is complicated, and the process is more, and it is necessary to pound it into pulp, which is called pulping, first to chop the trees and grass, and then steam it in a large pot until it rots, and then put the steamed pulp out of the pot. Then the pulp flows through special equipment and is ground worse by the fibers in the pulp. Next, the pulp is processed with a screening device, then bleached and washed.

It can be seen that just this one process requires a lot of manpower and material resources, whether it is mashing, boiling or bleaching and screening, which requires manpower, but also requires a lot of water, the water used to rinse the pulp will cause a lot of pollution to the river, and the smell of pulp is actually very unpleasant and pungent!

In addition to making pulp, it also needs to go through the step of papermaking, that is, the pulp processed by pulping is screened and slag removed again, and then the pulp is diluted, diluted to a certain concentration, and then the pulp is fished out with a very dense gauze, and then flattened, at this time, the thickness of the paper depends on the amount of pulp fished out and the uniformity of the force in the flattening process, and the last step after flattening is drying.

The drying of later generations is relatively simple and can be baked, but in the Sui and Tang dynasties, this carrier needs to use steel, and it is stainless steel, the Tang Dynasty did not, and the temperature of baking is not easy to master, unlike the later generations have thermometers that can be measured, so most of the paper in the Sui and Tang dynasties is dried, and after a piece of paper is successfully dried, it is very large, rice paper is not like the kind of A4 paper in later generations, when you go to buy paper, this kind of rice paper is mostly the base paper that has not been cut, one by one is very large and wide, and you want to paint after you go back, or you have to write, If you still have to write documents for office, you can cut them according to your needs.

However, the paper in the Sui and Tang dynasties was very expensive, especially rice paper, even if it was a large family, it was not necessarily willing to use it, and there were many times when books were still bamboo slips, which can explain the problem.

The rice paper is not waterproof, and it is estimated that the words on it will be destroyed when it is rained, so it is still necessary to have a tent vacant to protect these things that cannot be rained.

"Hurry up, everyone, put the felt cloth up, and then press the corners and corners, press it heavier, it will definitely be windy after the rain, don't let the wind blow the tent down!"

Xia Yuntian is directing the construction of the tent outside, the tent is generally waterproof, and a layer of felt cloth needs to be built on it, so that the rain will not penetrate in, in fact, the waterproofness of the felt cloth is not good, but it is relatively thick and heavy, which can play a buffering role, everyone must have played the umbrella, knowing that when it rains, even if the umbrella can block the raindrops outside, but there is still rain leakage inside, what is the reason for this?

Mainly because the rain is urgent, the rain can originally slide down the umbrella, but after the urgency, the rain will penetrate the umbrella into the interior, in general, due to the effect of gravity, before the raindrops gather into a complete raindrop, they have slid down the arc of the umbrella, but when it rains heavily, the kinetic energy of the raindrops themselves is densely smashed on the umbrella, and it is easy to let these small raindrops that penetrate into the interior fall down. The main question is the external force and tension caused by vibration.

The same is true for tents, tents also have arcs, generally speaking, the rain will slide down this arc, but the rainstorm is different, after the rain is too violent, the inside will actually leak, and the felt cloth will play a role in buffering and water absorption.

"Childe, is it going to rain heavily tonight?"

Liu Zhi's tent is actually quite spacious, after placing two quilts in it, there is an open space in the middle, so a table is placed in the middle, acting as a desk for the two, and the two of them each took a cushion, this kind of cushion is used to kneel and sit, not for sitting, because reading the sage book, the attitude should be very upright, the sitting posture is easy to bend over and back, the posture is a little indecent, and if you kneel and sit, the body is relatively straight, in order to reduce the pressure on the legs, the waist can not be easily bent down, because in this way, the strength on the toes will be greatly increasedIt's going to be very uncomfortable.

The two of them each knelt on both sides of the low case, Liu Zhi was practicing calligraphy, Gao Junru was reading, of course, it was silent reading, if it was read out loud, Liu Zhi's words would definitely not be able to write.

He came from later generations, for simplified characters is already very familiar, but for traditional characters, some will recognize, but not very good at writing, just to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, many times the font is used in small seals or large seals, these words do not know, only the words of the official book he knows, but also not very good at writing, so say more, write less, and then finally made up my mind, to practice traditional characters, write more and recognize, one day to be able to master proficiently!
