Chapter 105: The Long Road Mission
At the end of March –
"Boss Gu, these are all the goods, right?"
"Yes!"
Boss Gu is tall and thin, with a goatee, a hat, and speaks very politely.
"I must be optimistic about these two carts of things, and I might as well tell you that these goods are the citrus that the great navigators must go out, and the two carts have a total of eighty boxes. These fresh citrus stems are freshly picked and stored in sawdust, so you don't have to worry about them spoiling on the way, but I hope you can get them to Arthur in the shortest possible time, and give this letter to Cook, the Navigator. ”
"Okay, I understand, since our Red Shield Mercenary Group has taken over this task, it will definitely be completed, please rest assured. ”
"The head of Xing Zeyuan is very young, of course I don't worry, please leave it to you. ”
"Good!"
There were two carriages in front and back, Qian Ling sat on the roof of the car, and Bi Ning and Luo Tian drove separately.
"Let's go!"
"Goodbye, Boss Gu, Manager Balaqi!"
"Goodbye!"
"Bye-bye!"
The little charm in the window waved at them, and sped away.
"Young people are passionate. ”
"This is the mercenary group that is about to be selected as the most promising generation. ”
Balaki and Boss Gu looked at each other, and the two gentlemen stood together and looked at Xing Zeyuan and the others.
"This is a blessing in the mercenary world! When we were so young, we had just started working, how could we have such a lineup?"
Boss Gu sincerely praised Xing Zeyuan, who was humble and well-behaved, Xing Zeyuan was the appearance of a team, and if he performed well, this team would naturally feel good.
It's like a tree in a gold-bricked palace, even if it's ordinary, it can be touted because of the surrounding walls.
"That's right. ”
"I hope it's okay this time, I sent someone to transport these high-quality citrus fruits myself a few days ago, but they were robbed by pirates halfway through. ”
"The sea is the abyss, gold can't save lives, but these citrus can, who makes them rich in ascorbic acid!"
Boss Gu sighed and said helplessly:
"The ancestors learned from the lesson that citrus could cure scurvy, and countless navigators and sailors survived, but who knows, now that there are people fighting for these fruits. ”
"People are always insatiable, just get used to it. ”
Balaki said, Xing Zeyuan and they had already gone away, the two carriages were one in front of the other, and in the middle was their truck, because there were not enough drivers, so they found two experienced drivers to pull the goods.
The leading carriage was driven by Luo Tian, and Xing Zeyuan, Gan Suo, and Mo sat inside. The carriage behind was driven by Pi Ning, pulling Duan Qin, Xiao Fu and Fan Ao. There is a certain danger in the lead and the end, but they still choose to let the third girl sit in the carriage behind, and Qian Ling sits on the roof of the car, enjoying different treatment from others.
"It's dead!"
It was okay at first, but after half a day, Qian Ling couldn't help but scream, and then sat down beside Bining.
"The whole journey is more than 400 kilometers, and we have to pass through the wilderness and grassland, where there are no particularly good roads, which will waste our time. ”
"Why do you say this all of a sudden?"
"It feels like you have to deliver it as fast as possible, these are citrus, and they are essential for navigators to go out to sea, and it would not be good to delay their trip. ”
In order to ensure the confidentiality and security of the goods, the mercenaries will only know what the goods are before they set off, this is to prevent the mercenaries from colluding with the thieves, but many mercenaries do not do that now, because it affects not only the points and value, but also the reputation. It's like no matter how much brilliance you have succeeded, you can't hide the gloom of a failure.
"The fastest speed can be reached in five days, run a little more during the day, and ensure a certain amount of rest at night. ”
"Hmm!"
Many people underestimate the carriage, in fact, the better the horse, the faster the speed, the general carriage can go 200 kilometers a day, if there is an emergency, day and night can run a thousand kilometers a day, this distance is very exaggerated, but this is the real "horsepower". A farmer can't do without oxen plowing the fields, and a merchant can't do without a galloping horse.
"Try to rest for a while, and be on duty at night, it is impossible for Qian Ling to be vigilant all day long. ”
"Good. ”
The road was fairly steady, the carriage was not particularly bumpy, they slept peacefully, rested for less than fifteen minutes at noon, ate some dry food, and continued on the road.
This is something that cannot be helped, people are inert, if they rest for half an hour or an hour, they don't want to leave, and they don't have the energy to drive. Even though they had a good rest a few days ago, Luo Tian and Pi Ning were still a little tired after driving all morning, they were not the most authentic battle masters, their physical fitness was not particularly good, and they were tired at the end of the day.
The poor leader had eaten first and lay on the roof of the carriage, and he only needed a short rest to wake up.
"Are you alright?"
Xing Zeyuan, who was sitting by the fire, asked Luo Tian.
Luo Tianxia, who was sitting on the folding chair, was weak, and his fingers that were clutching the reins of the day were a little stiff.
"It's okay, it's been more than a month, and the wound won't crack, it's just upside down, and my body is a little weak. ”
"She's definitely had a lot of injuries before. ”
Xing Zeyuan said, and the uncle who was driving grinned with yellow teeth and asked:
"What's the matter, there's a wounded person in the car?"
"Well, the injury hasn't fully recovered. ”
"That's not going to be so upside down!"
The uncle said, pulling out a white towel from his backpack.
"You tie this around her arm and promise it's okay. ”
"What is this?"
I touched the towel that was a little rough, and I was washed countless times when I looked at it.
"I used to set up a car for your nobles, this is an inscription, you urge the inscription to try. ”
Xing Zeyuan tried it, and sure enough, it had some effect.
"Uncle, because there are wounded, I'm not welcome. ”
"You're welcome! You're welcome! I can't feel the star cluster, it's just an ordinary person, so I'd better leave it to you young people!"
"Thank you, uncle. ”
"Young man, I see that you are a good person, so I will warn you with a few mantras about driving. ”
"What, uncle?"
Xing Zeyuan: They are all curious.
"I've been driving since I was 14 years old, I'm 48 years old, 34 years in total, and I remember what my dad told me about driving......"
Gan Suo and Mo finished packing their things and sat next to the two old uncles, although they were not "teachers", but they were drivers for more than thirty years, and they must have some know-how.
"When driving, the carriage will be bumpy, and you have to follow it so that you won't be particularly tired, and if you keep pressing your body, you will probably be shocked out. You don't drive every day, so you don't know that there is resistance when the horse-drawn cart is running, and the cart is dragging them back, so they can only run fast and long by amplifying the amplitude and spreading their legs. It's the same with people, you can't hold on to the reins all the time, you have to loosen it to a certain extent, and your body follows the carriage, as long as you don't fall, you can reduce your own pressure. ”
"You must be weak now, right?"
"Hmm!"
"Try tomorrow as the two of us say, young man, we won't lie to you. ”
"Okay. ”
"Let's go rest! ”
Holding something like a white towel, Xing Zeyuan asked Gan Suo and them to go to bed quickly.
"Uncle, you should rest early. ”
"Okay! Sleep now. ”
Xing Zeyuan knocked on the car window, and Duan Qin opened the window and fingered it in front of his lips.
"Asleep?"
"I just fell asleep, but I kept frowning, and I guess I was still a little uncomfortable. ”
"Tomorrow you tie this to her arm. ”
Give her the white towel, Xing Zeyuan whispered.
"Rest early. ”
"Commander, you too, have worked hard during the day. ”
Nodding, Xing Zeyuan nodded to Qian Ling, who was sitting on the roof of the car, before falling asleep peacefully. The April night was still a little cold, Duan Qin covered Xiao Fu and Fan Ao with blankets, blew out the lights and closed their eyes. Winter has passed, and the lazy monarch has completely awakened and set out on a new journey. After getting used to the fluffy bed, the wooden planks of the carriage at night were cold and hard, and even if it was uncomfortable, they were still satisfied after a tiring day.
Fan Ao rolled over, and there was no pain in his body, just some discomfort.
"Can't sleep?"
The horses were tethered to the most fertile part of the weeds, and they should have slept after a tiring day, and the white moonlight hit the ground, making Fan'ao's loose skirt somewhat transparent.
"Hmm!"
As soon as Fan Ao looked up, Qian Ling, who was sitting on the roof of the car, jumped down gently.
"Talk to you?"
Unconsciously, Qian Ling was assimilated, he was the surviving demon, no matter what could bind him, but he was left here by Qingyi. He used to be cold and arrogant, but now he is approachable. Sometimes it's hard for a person to change, sometimes it's easy for a person to change, and all the hard things about change are because you don't meet someone who can make you change.
Qian Ling and Fan Ao sat on the side, she was not very good at talking to the opposite sex, she only looked at the four carriages blankly, a little embarrassed, and she couldn't round the scene. Qian Ling was a little better, he had seen too many well-dressed beasts in the crowd, and the men who could trick them into bed after talking to women for a while were masters.
"If you don't speak, you agree?"
"Hmm!"
"You usually look silent, huh?"
"Because there are many things in my heart. ”
Fan Ao sat on the ground and hugged his knees, and Qian Ling put his coat on her, Fan Ao did not turn his head to look at him, but Qian Ling said:
"In fact, everyone has a story buried in their hearts. ”
"For example, Luo Tian's identity?"
"Yes, and Pining, whose entire village died at the hands of the beast. Mo's parents used him as a political tool, and he escaped. Brother Gansuo's relatives also died, and only Duan Qin and Xiao Fu were good. ”
"What about you and the regimental leader?"
"Me?"
Smiled, and a smile was perhaps the most pain-resistant expression.
"My parents died for me, as for Xiaoxing's identity...... Can't just tell you. ”
"I want to go home. ”
His eyes were covered with a full moon, and Fan Ao said suddenly.
Insects began to chirp everywhere, and she felt her eyelids feel a little heavy, and she thought about her hazy hometown, the small village by the sea, which was becoming more and more blurry in her mind, and she was afraid that she would forget something, so she kept looking back. Finally, a few colored lines appeared in the dark field in front of her, and she slowly fell asleep, leaning on Qian Ling's shoulder.
"What! I said I wasn't sleepy. ”
Sitting where he was, he exhaled. The tightly tied wooden box was in front of him, and he looked at the moon and stars, and there was some light in his eyes.
