127. On the road

As a supernumerary soldier of the second squad, He Boqiang did not need to report to Baron Sidney when he left the expeditionary force camp.

It was already completely dark, and the tent was lit with kerosene lamps, and He Boqiang silently packed up his belongings, a military kettle filled with clean water, a three-day march ration and a roll of simple sleeping bags, and when necessary, wearing a sleeping bag of red-eyed hyena skin to protect him from the wind and rain.

Surdak untied the long dagger tied to his trouser leg, inserted it into He Boqiang's boots, and helped him carefully check the buckle of the Roman sword and the rope of the sleeping bag, and saw that everything was ready, so he patted his heavy pocket and military kettle, and said to him in a deep voice: "Be careful on the road, try not to drill into the forest when walking at night, there are always more beasts in the forest at night than during the day, maybe hide in that corner, drill out and give you a bite, no one in the barren mountains and mountains can help you." ”

He Boqiang picked up a charcoal pencil and wrote quickly on a wooden board in the tent: 'I will come back as soon as possible, I am still a little worried about leaving you here at this time, I will try to come back before you go on a mission!' ’

Red Socks couldn't help but say again, "Why don't you leave tomorrow morning?" ……”

Everyone's eyes fell on him again, and he smiled and said, "...... Well, be careful on the road! ”

It's already night, although there is no curfew yet, but the soldiers of the second squad can't move around in the barracks at will, squadron leader Surdak sent He Boqiang out of the barracks, and the guards at the gate of the barracks saw Surdak show the badge of the squadron leader, straightened his chest and saluted, and then hurriedly opened the gate of the barracks.

Surdak stood in the doorway, with a faint smile on his face, his expression more relaxed, his habitual one hand diagonally propped up on the door, and the other pinched his waist.

He Boqiang walked out of the barracks and waved at him, since he became the squadron leader, Surdak's young face was a little older, and he even learned from the bearded Kagle, ready to grow some beard to make himself look more stable.

After leaving the camp, the surroundings immediately fell into darkness, He Boqiang closed his eyes and adapted a little, and then rushed to the forest camp along the forest road opened by the heavy infantry regiment.

Although there were no more baggage wagons in the expeditionary camp on the forest road, there were some caravan vehicles, and they took advantage of the fact that the forest road was not congested at this time, and transported some supplies and booty to the forest camp camp.

The road was very busy during the day, and it was basically full of carts from the expeditionary corps.

Generally, when an army passes by, the caravan chariots and horses have to stop on the side of the road to avoid it, and sometimes when the road is narrow, the caravan vehicles will even be pushed under the roadbed.

In order to avoid this from happening, businessmen basically avoid the time when the military logistics convoy is on the road.

At night, there are not many restrictions on this road, and the road is often busy during the day, and the large wild animals in the nearby woodlands have migrated away, so this forest road is relatively safe.

He Boqiang hurried at night, worried that he would lose his way in the forest area, so he walked along this road to the side of the forest farm.

To him, only the path that the second team took along the river valley was the most familiar to him, and he didn't want to get lost in the dense forest like the last time, and it was estimated that the Earth Storm Bear would not be active around here, so don't expect the bear to run out to help.

When the caravans saw He Boqiang traveling alone, they warmly invited him to ride in their carriage.

Although the hired shop guys were walking along the road, they generously invited He Boqiang to sit on the shelves behind the car, and handed He Boqiang a few green fruits, which was so eager that people couldn't refuse.

The merchant learned from He Boqiang's swallow and sat behind the chariot with a kind smile on his face: "Soldier, where do you want to go?" ”

He Boqiang held the green fruit in his hand and pointed to the forest camp.

The merchant asked, "Tree farm camp?" ”

He Boqiang grinned slightly and nodded.

The merchant smiled very quickly and said, "That's just the way, if you don't dislike it, then sit in my carriage and get some sleep, and you will probably be there, and it will definitely not delay you in carrying out your mission!" ”

In fact, He Boqiang knew in his heart that the reason why the businessmen were so enthusiastic was precisely because he was an infantry soldier.

If there is any unexpected situation on the road, he hopes that he can help.

And in this way, you don't have to pay anything, at most, the carriage adds some weight, and at most, it adds a handful of beans to Maduo.

Although there were some bumps along the way, He Boqiang still fell asleep unconsciously.

By the time he woke up, the first rays of sunlight had already cast through the dense forest, shining on the forest road.

The light spots are very dazzling, and the forest farm camp on the hillside can already be seen in the distance.

The camp now looks a bit depressed, looking more like a huge transit warehouse, filled with a large amount of military materials, most of which are consumables such as giant crossbow bolts and kerosene, and many of the fragile parts of the ordnance are wrapped in tarpaulins and stored in wooden boxes.

On the hillside opposite the camp, various caravans have occupied the entire slope, and as the war in Moyunling intensifies, the war trade here has also reached a peak, and a large number of items related to evil spirits have been transported out of Moyunling, and the merchants waiting here will transport these loot to Handanar County, where they will continue to trade.

He Boqiang stood on the hillside and waved goodbye to the enthusiastic businessman.

Then he strode into the tent area, which looked like a small village, and the caravans crowded on the hillside, and He Boqiang came to the tent of the merchant Lakin, and only three tents of Lakin were the most insignificant of the tent area.

Gabi, the curly-haired boy, was setting up a stall in front of the tent, while Larkin was still the same, sitting at the door of the tent and counting his goods.

He Boqiang stood in front of Gabi and stopped, Gabi first saw two dirty military boots, he slowly bent up his waist, and then saw the familiar face.

"Little Dark, you're back, how are you doing on the Moyun Ridge? Is Surdak okay? How are Red Sox, Augustus and Cagle doing? ……”

The curly-haired boy Gabi looked very excited when he saw He Boqiang, and he scurried to his back like a monkey, and his mouth kept talking like pouring beans.

The merchant Larkin also walked quickly to the side of the stall, smiled at He Boqiang and said, "I thought you would have to end the war before you could get out of that mountain......

He Boqiang smiled, untied a huge bag behind him, and handed it to Larkin.

Larkin took it and looked at it, and immediately praised, "Huh! It's been a good harvest lately, Gabby, go and make a breakfast for Little Dark, and let me calculate the value of these goods! ”

"Okay, boss!" The curly-haired kid immediately ran out.

He Boqiang sat at the door of the tent, watching Larkin meticulously count the black-veined demon skins in his bag......
