Chapter 554: Traveling Companion (Medium)
After two days of tossing, everything was basically ready. On the morning of the third day, the hired man was already waiting downstairs.
After the group of girls finished washing, everyone sat in a single sedan chair, and then rushed to the city gate.
"This is good, this is good...... I'll sit on this and walk ...... future" Tumi was very excited, and it was very comfortable to sit on the bamboo chair that could be slightly upside down.
The space inside the bamboo chair is not too large, and there are canvases around it that block the sun and wind and rain, but it is estimated that it will not be too comfortable after sitting for a long time.
When they came to the city gate, they happened to see that the dart master Pan Ying was commanding his subordinates. Yan Hanshui clenched his fists on the bamboo chair: "Master Pan, please take care of me in the future......"
Pan Ying smiled: "You guys are amazing, you actually found the donkey cart...... Come here, the caravan is about to leave, so you can follow this caravan. ”
Yan Hanshui They nodded yes, and then found that this caravan was actually the caravan of the girl named Rongrong who they met the day before yesterday, and now they were ready to go.
Much stronger than Yan Hanshui, there were more than 500 people in this caravan, and there were more than 100 vehicles of all kinds.
Most of them were horse-drawn vehicles, and a few were donkey carts and ox carts. Yan Hanshui compared them with this, it is really the gap between Dick Si and Gao Fu Shuai.
"I want to ride in that carriage too...... Tu Mi pointed to a four-horse cart not far away, which could be seven or eight square meters in size, and there were blankets and other things.
Yan Hanshui looked helpless: "Because they found that there are some things that money can't buy." The carriages were private, not hired. ”
Soon set off, there were a lot of people in the dart game, and the smoke and cold water were more than two hundred. If you add the caravan and the smoke and cold water, it is estimated that there will be more than 850 people.
A group of people was a bit spectacular, but the team was quite loose, and Yan Hanshui looked at the carriage from the front to the end, and they could be more than a thousand meters or so.
Most of the things carried in the car were tea and silk. There are also small amounts of alcohol, and dried fruits and stuff.
Just such a large number of people, who didn't go out for thirty miles for a whole day. The corner of Yan Hanshui's mouth twitched, and then he chatted with a few girls with mental power: "I remember that when I was in Anxi, the infantry had to march at least eighty miles a day, and they were still burdened. ”
Qing Dai agreed: "Some have, but these are ordinary people, or caravans, thirty miles a day, it's not too slow......"
"Thankfully, the system doesn't set a time, and now I don't know if we'll have to toss for a long time to get there." Tumi fiddled with his hands, and finally came to a conclusion, I am afraid that it will be close to two months.
In the evening, it is possible to stay overnight in the evening. Except for the real eldest lady in the cart, the rest of the people, including Yan Hanshui, can only lay on the floor.
Luckily, everyone was prepared, and both donkey carts were covered with thick bedding. Because it's already October, I'm unlucky enough to have snow in the future. Even those who carried the smoke and cold water were all prepared with warm clothes and pants.
Pan Ying rode around the convoy and then came to Yanhanshui: "The weather is a little cold, we will light a bonfire in a while, and rest next to the bonfire at night." ”
"This time is almost the last large-scale running business, and there will be a few teams of people starting from Datong tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Basically, when you arrive at your destination, it's almost the Chinese New Year. ”
"If you need to, you can call our people at any time, and we will have some people keep vigil at night, so you can rest as soon as possible." Pan Ying said briefly, and then began to light the bonfire.
The food was largely self-sufficient, and after the huge campfires were lit, some people began to light the fire with wood to separate the hot food. Most of the soup is made from jars and eaten with dry cakes.
Yan Hanshui is no exception, of course, in addition to those laborers, Yan Hanshui and these girls have made some jerky, plus the training of instant noodles to cook and eat, the taste is very good.
The distance between the teams was not far, and after the lady on the opposite side got off the bus, someone immediately handed over food and broth.
Tumi sighed again: "Why am I not like everyone's ladies, obviously my family is also in business." ”
"It must be because of you broken cat that I learned badly. Originally, people should not be out of the door, and the second door should not be the kind of person. ”
"The beauty rolls the beaded curtain, sits deeply and frowns. But when I saw the tears wet, I didn't know who I hated. That's what people are supposed to look like...... Ay? How did you throw up, dear? Tumi looked at Yan Hanshui with concern and then said with a wicked smile.
Yan Hanshui just squirted out a mouthful of broth, almost spraying a laborer. "Don't scare me, I thought you were possessed by that ghost." Yan Hanshui had a palpitating expression.
The two girls were very happy to fight, and soon the meal was over. Qing Dai gave Moonfall food not far away, and although the body transformed by the insect had no need for human food, Moonfall still liked it very much......
At this time, Rong Rong not far away actually walked over. It is estimated that on her side, except for an aunt Juan who can speak, the rest of the people can't communicate.
Aunt Juan also followed behind her, obviously caring about the girl, almost inseparable. Yan Hanshui saw this girl coming over and gave her a place.
"Hello...... My name is Cao Rong" This girl's accent is a little special, probably because this place has been occupied by Jin and Yuan for more than a hundred years, and it is not easy to maintain fluent Chinese.
In fact, many of those laborers can still speak Chinese, but most of them are more fluent in gold and Mongolian. I can't mix in this place if I don't know a few languages, although I obviously stammer.
"Hello, nice to meet you." Yan Hanshui smiled, said the names of several people, and then took a bunch of grapes from the storage space.
"This is for you......" Yan Hanshui first showed goodwill. This grape is a later breed variety, and the grapes are not only abundant, but also very full, and they are green seedless grapes.
Cao Rong took it in surprise, and then asked at Yan Hanshui, "Such a big grape?" Or is it green? ”
Aunt Juan in the back was a knowledgeable person, and said to Rong Rong: "Thank them for not hurrying, this is a good thing, mare's milk grapes." I've seen it in the Western Regions, but it's not as big as their string. ”
"Thank you...... Horse milk grapes? I've heard that this is a variety introduced after the Tang Dynasty broke the Gaochang in the Western Regions. Back then, it was still raised by the royal family...... Aunt Juan, am I right? Cao Rong smiled happily.
Aunt Juan nodded, praised Cao Rong and said, "Rong Rong knows so much, I don't know ......"
"Where, I like to read some strange books." After Cao Rong finished speaking, she gave some to Aunt Juan, and then asked a servant to bring some melons and fruits as a gift.
As soon as the two sides exchange things, the topic is opened. Then Yan Hanshui got some small wooden stools from the car, and several people gathered around and started chatting.
