Chapter 1153 - Bodyguard (New Volume Asking for Subscription Monthly Pass)
The stellar light swept away the darkness and sprinkled it on the wasteland.
Dead vines and old trees, sparse grass and trees, gravel everywhere, endless as far as the eye can see, full of desolation. However, the sky is clear and blue.
"Today's weather is good, breeze, no dust, rare good weather!"
The desolate wasteland was full of dirt roads, a long dragon of carts was moving slowly, and more than a hundred carriages and mule carts were lined up, full of goods, women and children. On both sides, many men with knives in pale yellow suits walked, lit the torches, and carefully watched the surroundings.
Not only that, there is a small pennant in front of each car, with a red edge and white face, with a surname 'Chen' on it, and at the front of the big team, there is also a big flag, with the same red edge and white face, but on it is a different word 'Anyuan'.
It can be seen that this is a dart, starting from Qingguo, heading towards the border, intending to enter Qi State. There are actually quite a few such teams in the wasteland of this area. Looking at the road under your feet, a soft dirt road leads ahead, with no grass and full of car marks and horse manure, and you know that there are often merchants passing by on this road.
At the back of the line, it's slightly different.
Six rode on the left and right wings, one horse empty, and in the middle there were ten mule carts, two with carriages, eight with supplies, and with ten mule carts, sixteen young men and girls gritted their teeth and walked. These sixteen teenagers and girls seemed to have walked a lot, and their faces were dirty, and they didn't bother to wipe them.
"Be sure to keep breathing, save your physical strength, this walk is a good opportunity to hone your physique and perseverance, no one is left behind!" The man on the horse scolded.
"This batch of seedlings is not bad, Falcon and Hound and Lan Lan have trained them for half a year. It's been trained!" said another man, laughing.
"People who are refugees or come out have experienced a lot. Perseverance, give them such a good day, if you don't know how to cherish it, then you are blind!"
"Yes, the hardships of the hardships are the only ones who are masters!"
"I didn't know before, but this walking path can actually be practiced very well, if you practice all the way, practice for a year. Wouldn't all of these little guys be third-rate martial artists?"
"Hey, Erbao, do you think the exercises taught by the master are simple? It's just that everyone is lucky, follow the master, otherwise, don't talk about third-rate martial artists, you can't make it if you don't enter the stream." If there is no famous teacher to teach you to practice, you will have a short life if you practice it!"
"That's right!"
“――”
At the back of the bodyguard team, these dozen mule carts, but Zhang Weidong and his party.
Coincidentally. Everyone went out of the south gate overnight, but after leaving the city gate, they met a lot of people, and only then did they know that there were other people who left overnight, mainly a large merchant and three small merchant teams. The surname of this big merchant is Chen. But it's not the Chen Xiong that Zhang Weidong knows.
Zhang Weidong and the others and the merchant team couldn't get together, and the big merchants and small merchants were not willing to let Zhang Weidong and others become a burden. In normal times, the big merchants are followed by the small merchants. In fact, it is not a formal member, but a asylum seeker. Give a sum of money to the big businessmen and take care of them by the way, and the fox borrows the tiger's might. Fooling around, the people in the dart game will turn a blind eye and won't really pay attention.
In the merchant team, Zhang Weidong's identity as a doctor does not work, because there are accompanying doctors in the big merchants.
Only one small merchant is not bad, and after hearing that Zhang Weidong is a doctor, he agreed and let them follow behind, counting him as a member of the merchants. As for Zhang Weidong and others' Qingguo status, the other party didn't care, not to mention that there was a woman in Zhang Weidong's team who actually had the identity of 'Great Qin State', Zhang Weidong and others were considered to have gone to their relatives, which would be easier to do.
The Great Qin State, the Liuxiang Dynasty and the Qi State, the Three Kingdoms border, however, unlike the barren land of the Qi State, the Great Qin State is a strong country, rich and strong, almost comparable to the Liuxiang Dynasty. Therefore, whether it is the identity of the Great Qin State or the identity of the Liu Xiang Dynasty, it is very easy to use in the Qi State.
In one night, the team walked 30 miles and did not leave the scope of Ren County. However, now that they have set foot in the wasteland, and it belongs to the border between the two countries, it is already very desolate, and there are few villages and towns to be seen, and the supply of the troops depends on self-raised supplies.
There is a distance of 300 miles from Ren County to Dayong Pass, which originally belonged to Qingguo, and according to this way, the journey is 50 miles a day, and it takes at least six days to walk. If you want to go as much as you want, the horses can't stand it.
"Rest on the spot for two hours!"
At this moment, a ride came running ahead, and the dart master waved the flag of the dart game and shouted loudly to inform.
Of course, as for the three small merchants in the back, that is not the task of the dart master.
The procession of the big merchants stopped, and the three small merchants behind them naturally stopped to rest and extinguished the torches. Before, the team went out of the city overnight and traveled 30 miles, which was a last resort, and if it was dawn, it was a question of whether the merchant could successfully serve as a county, but fortunately, there was no accident along the way. Now the people and horses are tired, and they can't do it without rest.
As soon as the carriage stopped, there was a commotion outside, and Xu Qing and other women and children woke up and got out of the car one after another. However, this is a dangerous wasteland, and no one is allowed to wander around. After waiting for the convenience of a group of people in batches, the children were not asked to enter the carriage, but were under the care of falcons and hunting dogs, and could not get out of the crowd.
"Bury the pot and make rice!"
The task of vigilance was not relaxed, and the crowd did not dismount.
Zhang Weidong's entourage carried a large amount of water and charcoal in the car, and also brought pots and pans, etc., and even dragged a blacksmith to build a stove.
The women were cooking, but a few children, such as Dogdan, were asked to stand on their stakes and spit out. It is estimated that there are outsiders, and these children are very well-behaved, not as lazy and chattering as usual.
Xiao Yueyue and Zhang Hui, who is one year older, are four or five years old, they don't know what the atmosphere is, and they are snuggling in the arms of Zhang Weidong, who is sitting down and resting.
"Daddy, brother dogs are lazy again, I saw it, punish him quickly!" Xiao Yueyue secretly reported, but everyone heard the milky sound in the milk.
She remembered that the dog was lazy when practicing, and was beaten by Zhao Erbao with rattan. The reason why Xiao Yueyue remembers it so firmly is that Goudan once snatched Xiao Yueyue's toy, which was a wooden doll carved by Zhang Weidong. It also broke as a result. This harmful Xiao Yueyue cried all day.
Everyone was in for a smile.
The dog Dan bared his teeth at Xiao Yueyue, and quickly stood up.
"Daddy. Brother Dogan scares me again!" Xiao Yueyue's mouth flattened, and tears were about to fall.
Zhang Weidong hurriedly coaxed: "Daddy knows." Punish him when you turn around!"
"Yueyue wants new toys, don't give it to Brother Dogan to play with!"
"What about Sister Huihui or not?"
Compared with Xiao Yueyue's ghost cleverness, Zhang Hui is a little lady, blushing at every turn, not talking much and being very well-behaved. She is the same age as Xiao Yueyue, holding hands in and out, with the posture of a big sister, giving everything to Xiao Yueyue.
Xiao Yueyue thought for a moment and stretched out her fingers with both hands. He counted them, took out his index finger, and said, "Okay, just one!"
"Little girl, you have so many toys, you only gave one to Sister Huihui? Sister Huihui usually gives you all the good things-"
Xiao Yueyue was stunned, looked at Zhang Hui, stretched out her head, and kissed Zhang Hui's alchemy. Then he laughed like a little fox. Xiao Zhang Hui's face suddenly turned red, and she lowered her head shyly.
Zhang Weidong was amused and laughed out loud.
Xu Qing is very shrewd and very active. is a mother who will not change her true colors. If it weren't for her fear that Zhang Weidong would dislike her for dancing with guns and sticks, she would not be like a virtuous woman. has converged a lot, and it is estimated that the sword will not leave his body. Xiao Yueyue seems to have inherited this.
"The little girl is very clever. Doctor Zhang is blessed!" Boss Wu, a small businessman, came over, followed by a guard. Boss Wu also has a small jar of wine in his hand.
Zhang Weidong entrusted Xiao Yueyue and Xiao Zhang Hui to Aunt Zhao. got up and hugged his fists in return: "Boss Wu Jiyan!"
"The weather is still very cold, so I have a jar of good wine here to warm up Dr. Zhang!" Boss Wu said with a smile.
Zhang Weidong hurriedly pushed back, but finally took over. This is Boss Wu showing goodwill, since he is in a team, then it is inevitable to deal with each other along the way, and a jar of wine is light and affectionate, and it is not okay not to accept it.
"How embarrassing is this, then thank you Boss Wu for the gift, I also have some good tea, so I'll wrap some for Boss Wu, try it!"
"No, no!"
"Wait, wait!"
Zhang Weidong also wrapped a small bag of Sanfeng Jinxia, which was half a catty, and gave it back to Boss Wu.
Gifts are still exchanged, wine and tea are the most common.
This mutual gift, everyone is closer.
Zhang Weidong has a 'Brother Wu', and Boss Wu has a 'Brother Zhang'. The main reason is that Boss Wu is in his thirties, sleeping in the open air, and looks older, while Zhang Weidong looks only in his twenties and looks much younger.
The two didn't talk about the future, but they expected medical skills.
Zhang Weidong took the pulse of Boss Wu, but after more than ten breaths, he explained the symptoms, small problems and old diseases, and shocked the other party. Although Boss Wu had the intention to try Zhang Weidong's medical skills, it was not specialized, just incidentally, but he didn't think that Zhang Weidong's medical skills seemed to be much higher than he expected.
The root of the old disease is caused by trauma, and it has not been cured for seven or eight years, and it cannot be cured. And there are many small problems. Like him, who runs a business all year round, and is not allowed to rest and recuperate, how can there be no problems with his body?
"The physical problem is not big, it can be treated, but if Brother Wu is not in a hurry, the medicine will be cleared and then arrested by Brother Wu. Zhang Weidong said.
Boss Wu hurriedly said: "Don't worry, don't worry, it's all old and sick, and I'm not in a hurry for a while!"
"By the way, I still don't know what Brother Zhang's medicine hall is?"
"Yonghetang!"
Boss Wu was suddenly surprised: "The Yonghetang of Ren County?"
"This, Brother Zhang, don't get me wrong, the name of Yonghetang has spread, and it is said that the doctor in charge has an accurate diagnosis and miraculous medicine, and I plan to go to the doctor, but I didn't expect to encounter this kind of thing. Now it's a coincidence, that doctor is Brother Zhang!"
Zhang Weidong smiled indifferently and said: "It's not wrong to say that the sky-high medical fee is high, there are many people who scold me for being black-hearted!"
Boss Wu said: "That's those people who are ignorant and have no eyes!"
With this experience, Boss Wu became more enthusiastic, and he just went back after chattering for half an hour, and after a while, he brought some good food and melons and fruits to the children. Even, even the guards under Boss Wu began to get close to Zhao Erbao and the others.
Compared with Zhao Erbao and a few people riding one by one, the momentum is extraordinary, although Boss Wu is a small businessman, but he only has a few horses to ride. And these guards, except for the person next to Boss Wu, who is a non-entry martial artist, there is only one leader in the escort team who is not a non-entry martial artist, which is very shabby. In fact, the other two small merchants have similar military allocations.
Except for the big merchants who can afford to hire third-rate warriors, the small merchants cannot.
On the other hand, on Zhang Weidong's side, several children were practicing martial arts at the stand, and more than a dozen young boys and girls were practicing along the way, which made many people in Boss Wu's team marvel and envy. It can be seen that there may be warriors in Zhang Weidong's team.
"Master, those five people on the horse may all be martial artists, and their strength is no less than mine!" Boss Wu's personal guard looked over there with hot eyes and said solemnly.
"The medical skills are very high, and there are many martial artists under him, this Doctor Zhang is not simple!" Boss Wu said.
The guard frowned and said, "Could it be that there is a big background?"
Boss Wu was also puzzled, and said in a deep voice: "No matter what, this person is not simple, everyone meets in Pingshui, it is convenient for others, and it is convenient for themselves!" (To be continued.) )
