Chapter 283 Mountain Road (Ask for a Subscription and Ask for a Monthly Pass)

Get out of town quickly, as long as you are sure that you are not a fugitive and do not carry suspicious items.

There are a lot of people who go out of the city together, and the queue is quite long, probably because of the good weather, and those who temporarily stayed in Liuyuan County because of the snow also chose to leave today.

Qian Yan looked at it with her divine sense, there was a convoy four or five miles away from them in the front, and it would take a few days to go up the mountain, either to buy goods from merchants, or to rush home, most of them were driving cars or horses, and the worst could also spend some money to take other people's cars, and there was basically no walking.

In addition to the two teams that were put together like the ox caravan, there was also a family, guarded not only by the coachman but also by the dart master, who was supposed to carry some valuable goods.

There are still three or two ox carts and two horse-drawn carriages that are separate, both with sheds or carriages, in which several people are sitting, and the carriages should be a family, and the content of listening to their chats in the ox carts is pieced together, and they are hitched to Surabaya County on the other side of the mountain.

This is a short distance, but because I have to climb the mountain, it will take four or five days to walk from one county to another.

And the ox cart is not specially for work, that is, the person who has the cart happens to be going there to earn a little money by the way.

No one dares to pull back and forth on this line, there are wild beasts and often bandits on the mountain, and it is good to meet those hunters who work part-time, only robbing the rich and not killing them.

If you are unlucky enough to encounter that truth, then your life is not guaranteed.

Don't look at the large number of people this time, but in fact, the old man of the team, especially the caravan with the guard of the dart master, the people in front and behind have distanced themselves from them.

Their goal is too obvious, and they are the easiest to be targeted by bandits, whether it is true or fake, they will want to rob.

On the contrary, they ordinary people have half the chance that they can pass safely.

So the current formation is that there are two ox carts and a carriage in front of them, and about two miles away is the caravan with a dart master, and a mile or two apart are two ox carts and a horse-drawn cart and the ox cart team they were traveling with before, and then behind them is the dumping of them.

Of course, there was also a carriage behind them, and it was drawn by two horses, and the carriage was much larger than theirs, and it was wrapped in a black tarpaulin, and I don't know whether it was for heat preservation or cover.

Qian Yan curiously looked through the tarpaulin with her divine sense, and understood that the other party was just trying to cover up.

The carriage is made of fine wood, and it is also carved with delicate patterns, which is used by rich people at first glance, and it is estimated that they also know that this mountain is not very peaceful, and they want to cover it with this oilcloth, which is not so conspicuous.

At night, it is true that the black tarpaulin will not be easily found, but it will not be possible during the day, and the surrounding area is white, and a black car is the most conspicuous.

They had inquired with their men last night, and it was said that the bandits on this mountain had been day and night before, but after being ambushed by officers and soldiers several times, they changed it to night.

Those hunters originally lived here, and it didn't matter what time of day, and they didn't rob in a fixed place, they all changed places with one shot, so these people passing by were really unguardable.

At first, only those hunters came out at night, and then the real bandits who fished in troubled waters were the same, probably in order to make those hunters take the blame, they also changed the time to come out at night.

Because it takes a few days to walk out of the mountain, generally speaking, these passers-by will find a place to rest at night, after all, it is impossible to rush in a row, even if the people can bear it, the horses can't stand it.

Those people take advantage of the rest of the night to come and grab things, and if they are stuck in the road and there are more people and cars, it is inevitable that someone will find a chance to escape.

It was different when they were camped and rested, the animals were untied and tied to rest, and the people had to sleep, even if there were vigils, only one or two.

If you control someone, or kill someone, you can run away if you grab something, so the car behind you should be thinking that you can fool around at night.

The two horses were black horses, and the driver of the carriage was also dressed in black.

She didn't know what to say, this pitch black was really weird.

As for the people in the carriage, Qian Yan also looked at it with her divine sense.

There were two people inside, an elderly lady and a handsome teenager, wearing muslin and no expensive accessories, but their temperament was not ordinary at first glance.

Even the coachman is not ordinary, he is a middle-aged man in his thirties and forties, his appearance is very ordinary, and his figure is not particularly tall, but looking at his sitting posture and figure, he should have some skills.

Qian Yan also found two big knives under the wheel, which were very similar to Fang Da's useful knife, she wondered if the other party would also be a person in the army, Fang Dayou said that its knife was used by soldiers in the army.

The two of them in the car didn't talk, they were both closing their eyes and recuperating, so they couldn't hear anything, so Qian Yan probed her sense around to see if she could find those hunters who were part-time bandits.

Qian Yan looked at everything within a radius of several miles, and did not find any people who were suspected of being hunters, so it can be said that she didn't see anyone at all.

The mountains were white, and both trees and stones were covered with snow, and it was impossible to see what they were.

But if it is a place where people live, it is still possible to see that people do not go out all the time, as long as they go out to move, they will leave traces, but she saw that there are no houses and people in this four-mile radius.

"Ugly, you use your divine sense to see, where do those hunters live, I haven't seen it all within a radius of several miles, they won't run for miles to rob, right?"

If you have to climb a mountain with the goods, it will be so hard to rob once.

The scandalous rumor also probed his senses, looked around, and said to Qian Yan for a while: "Those hunters are not here, this side is so close to Liuyuan County, if they were here, they would have been suppressed a long time ago."

Those people in the middle of the road, there are no sides on either side, no matter which side of the people come to encircle and suppress, they can run into the mountains, and that side is a deep mountain, there are more prey, they usually live by hunting, they must live in a place with more prey. ”

Qian Yan: "Now there are almost no prey in this kind of weather, and they will definitely come out to rob, do you think we should stop it?" ”

If the ugly and ugly make a move, they will definitely be able to pass smoothly, whether it is a hunter or a real bandit, they can make it impossible for them to get out.

The ugly chou leaned on the ingot, stretched out his paws and pinched the child's little hand, and said casually: "It's okay, if you think it's troublesome, I'll shoot directly, and if you want to catch them, let them down." ”

Qian Yan said directly: "Don't let them come down, it's not convenient for us to shoot with so many people, and besides, there are children, what should I do if I am scared." ”

Ugly nodded, "Okay, then you can take care of it, and make sure they can't come over and disturb us." ”

At noon, no one stopped to rest, everyone wanted to take advantage of the dawn to hurry more, get out of the mountain earlier, and feel at ease.

Before leaving, Qian Yan also told the Fang family father and son that they would eat in the carriage at noon, both of them had charcoal stoves and pots, and they just needed to heat it up.

The three of them, Tilt Yan, Chou Chou and Yuan Bao, were going to eat the dishes packed in the restaurant directly, put the children on the seats to sleep, and put the table in the middle to set the dishes.

As a result, as soon as the dish was taken out, the little guy was woken up by the fragrance of the dish, his head twisted this way, his eyes looked this way, and his mouth was still humming.

"It's still a gluttonous cat, alas...... You can't eat it, who made you have no teeth. ”

Qian Yan picked him up and nodded his little nose, took the milk handed over by Chouchou, and fed him first.

The little guy stopped humming when his stomach was full, and then put himself down and played with his fingers there, very well-behaved.

The three of them had a good lunch, put away the empty plates and tables and lay down, and when they were full, they were sleepy, so they took a nap.

The father and son of the Fang family felt that it was much more convenient to have a charcoal stove, not to mention the warmth in the carriage, there was hot water to drink along the way, and it was also convenient to have a hot meal.

They eat simply, just heat the hot steamed buns, break them and put the meat sauce in them, and they eat very comfortably with hot water.

They also found that when there was a car in front of them, they didn't have to control the horse at all times, and it would naturally follow the car in front, so the two of them didn't change shifts to eat, so they just ate together in the carriage.

After calculating the approximate time, it would take at least more than three hours to stop and find a place to rest, and the father and son simply nested in the carriage, chatted for a while, and squinted.

Chou Chou has been observing the surroundings, and when he saw the actions of the two fathers and sons, he couldn't help but roll his eyes, and sure enough, those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are black, and it has only been a few days, and I have learned to be lazy and enjoy it with Yanyan.

It also sent a message to their horse, telling it to follow the car in front of it, not to take a fork in the road and not to stop on its own.

The road ahead is quite smooth, as long as it is not for the front convoy suddenly stopping to rest, it should have been until dinner.

It looked at the other people who were shrunk in the cold, and then at the three people in his car who were sleeping heavily, and the Fang family father and son who were squinting comfortably over there, well, it seemed that they had a sense of superiority.

Let's just say that the car in the back, the people inside look either rich or expensive, the carriage is luxurious and spacious, but it is not to eat cold dry food, and they are shivering with cold around the quilt.

Not to mention those carpoolers in front of them and those without sheds, either huddled together to keep warm, or rubbed themselves, such a comparison, they are like an outing, and the sense of happiness is really contrasted.

When she woke up, she looked at her watch, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon, and she looked forward with her divine sense, "I slept for three hours, and the trees on this mountain seem to be getting denser and denser, and I don't know how those people rest at night, just lighting the fire is a problem." ”

Ugly: "You just like to this useless heart, you don't notice that everyone has tarpaulins and mats in their cars, and when the time comes, they can surround four or three tree trunks, and they can block the wind, and then light a fire in the middle, and it will be no problem to make up for the night." ”

Qian Yan thought about it, they seemed to have done this before, even on the day it snowed, it was still on the top of the mountain, there was no carriage at that time, and she slept in the carport.

Burned a fire for the big bear, and the big bear seemed to say that it was indeed okay, but he couldn't sleep, and he had to keep turning over, otherwise it would be cold and hot at the same time.

It seems that they are going to do it again tonight, and when the time comes, put the big bear and the Fang family's father and son together, and if they can't do it, they will burn two fires.

After walking for more than an hour, the sun began to set in the west, there were many trees on the mountain, the light began to dim a little, and the temperature was getting lower and lower.

The father and son of the Fang family also sat on the wheel outside, one person looked at the side, the place should be open and windproof, and the empty space could be seen in the distance at a glance, so that there were thieves who could find it earlier.

Needless to say, on such a cold day, it will only be colder in the mountains at night, and there is no way to rest in a place that is not windproof.

The car in front has already found a place to stop, and the one with a single car has found a place with a stone wall on one side of the tree, just park the car in to block the other side, and then put a tarpaulin around it and light the fire, which should be able to make up for the night.

The oxen convoy and the caravan did not stop, mainly because they did not find such a large place to hold their carts and people, they must have gathered together, and it was more dangerous to disperse.

It didn't matter if they were anywhere anyway, they had to sleep in the carriage, as long as the two horses were settled.

And Ugly has already said that it will solve the bandits, and there is no worry about sleeping anywhere.

After that, several convoys also found a place to stop one after another, leaving only the ox convoy in front of them and the carriage behind them still moving forward.

Qian Yan raised her eyebrows, "It seems that we are going to go to the front, so it's okay, you can also mention the speed, they are walking too slowly." ”

Finally, they found a triangle and stopped, on the west side was a fault of five or six meters straight up and down, and on the north side was a huge rock, the place was not big, seventy or eighty square meters in size, and there were two trees in it.

Park the carriage on both sides, and tie the tarpaulin around the two trees to the carriage, just enclose the inside, and regenerate a fire, and the two horses are just right inside.

As a result, they had just parked, and the carriage behind them also stopped next to them, apparently taking a fancy to this place as well.

Fang Dayou just wanted to say something, but the other party's coachman spoke first: "Two of you, I'm sorry, I don't know what's ahead, this place is also spacious, if we squeeze together, we are here, and we won't disturb you." ”

Fang Dayou didn't know how to respond, and subconsciously looked at his father.

Fang Zhengyi looked at Qian Yan who came out of the carriage, and only replied when he saw her nodding: "When you go out, it's convenient for you to be with others, this brother is please." ”

The other party didn't expect that it was the little girl behind who was in charge, so he thanked Fang Righteous and arched his hand to Qianyan.

Qian Yan smiled at him, three carriages were actually more than enough to park in this place, and the three of them didn't look like treacherous people, so she didn't refuse.
