042 Keep drinking tea

After a night of nothingness, Chen Li, who got up early, was a little sleepy, and he was worried about it for half the night last night, so he was worried that someone would come to rob the dart.

As a result, there was no all night.

Seeing Chen Li's somewhat sleepy expression, Zhu Sanle smiled and asked if he was worried about something happening at night? Didn't get a good night's sleep?

Chen Li nodded, it was true, it was the first time he had spent the night outside.

In the past, when I was juggling, I ran around, but the routes were all planned in advance, and I never stayed overnight in the wilderness.

"This is still the boundary of Qinghe Mansion, and there are guards and officers and soldiers, and there are no long-sighted bandits to rob."

"It's out of this Qinghe Mansion, it's hard to say, especially in some three-regardless areas, it's even more serious."

Zhu San said briefly for a while, and then led the jujube horse on the road.

Chen Li tapped the dart, and after confirming that there was no problem, he ate a few bites of the baked cakes, and hurriedly chased after the carriage.

Xiang Ye didn't stay in the carriage this time, so he walked with the carriage.

Chen Li wanted to carry him up before, but after resisting for a while, he found that Xiang Ye really didn't want to get into the carriage, so he had to give up.

He was a little worried about whether Xiang Ye would be able to keep up.

"You're not funny, although I usually walk slowly, I still run very fast, on par with your horse."

Bears are not slow to run, and the reason why people feel slow is because they are always used to comparing predators of the same level, such as tigers and leopards.

How can this be compared? These guys are all good at speed, and they live on speed.

If you really want to compare yourself with people, let you run 100 meters first and see if I can catch you!

The speed of bears is about 30~40 kilometers per hour, and the fastest can reach 60 kilometers, and horses are also at this speed, but compared to bears, horses' endurance is much stronger than bears, and they can continue to run for a long time.

Of course, this is ideal.

In fact, the road in this loess ridge is rotten and broken, and there are darts pulling, it is good to be able to walk ten miles in an hour, and there is no problem at all to keep up with the night, and it can even be faster than this carriage.

There were still no twists and turns along the way, the sun was getting higher and higher, the dart team had officially penetrated into the Loess Ridge, and the road was getting worse and worse.

It can't be called a road, it's just a relatively flat dirt ground that has been passed by for a long time.

At this time, the sound of the flow of the Qingshui River can already be heard.

A little further on, and at the end of the road, a large river suddenly came into view.

Compared with the stable river section in the city of Qinghe Mansion, this is the upstream location of Qinghe Mansion, the big river is several times wider, the river beach is full of rocks, the turbulent river water laps the river bank, and the deafening sound is endless.

"Here we are."

Zhu San had been waiting at the end of the road for a long time, and when he saw that Chen Li finally followed, he hurriedly got up to meet him.

Xiang Ye stood up and looked across the river, where a water village built under a cliff came into view.

There are dozens of water villages, which are connected together to form a huge gathering place of walled cities.

From time to time, people come and go in and out of the stockade, and on the dock under the stockade, more than a dozen monorails lean against the shore, and groups of porters unload goods from the boats from time to time, a busy scene.

"This is where the Qingshui Cao Gang is stationed? It's not the size of a small town. ”

Chen Li was completely shocked when he saw the water village on the other side of the river.

He never thought that in the upper reaches of the Qingshui River, there was a water village of this scale, and this was actually the station of the Cao Gang.

"Qinghe Mansion relies on water transportation, this water transportation is prosperous, and the Cao Gang, who rely on water transportation for a living, naturally eats a lot of money."

"The current Cao Gang is not like before, relying on carrying and pulling boats to eat, their own fleet, business and even the guards who protect the caravan, everything, Cao Gang Cao Gang, they are a big gang."

Zhu San sighed, as if he had thought of something, his face crossed, and he fell silent again.

But fortunately, at this time, someone had already leaned over, and a few men in short linen clothes rushed up from under the road, saw a few people staying on the side of the road, and asked: "But the head of the Changfeng Dart Bureau?" ”

Glancing at the night, these people ran up from the bottom of the road, and when they came from, they found that there was a dock down there.

"Exactly."

Zhu San nodded, and after the people checked the darts, they arched their hands and led the group of people in the dart game to the boat.

"It's a long time to see that this carriage can actually get on the boat."

It was a big boat carrying Chen Li and his party, and Chen Li also thought that he could just carry the darts directly onto the boat, but the people of this Cao gang actually carried their entire group, including the carriage and several horses.

Chen Li had never seen it before, and felt that it was extremely rare, so he kept watching from both sides of the boat from time to time.

"This ship is still small, if it is that kind of maritime treasure ship, let alone one carriage for you, even a hundred carriages are more than enough to fit in."

Although the boatman on the boat saw Chen Li's appearance of a dirt bun, he also answered all questions, and his attitude was slightly humble.

After all, they are from the dart game, and all of them are martial artists, and they belong to the ranks of strongmen, they are just ordinary sailors, although they have a few water skills, but they can't be angry.

The only thing that puzzles is that the goods sent by this dart man are only two boxes, and I don't know why I want to find someone from the Changfeng Dart Bureau to send them, and I just find a small boat, even if it is against the current, it will take half a day to arrive.

Xiang Ye saw Chen Li's appearance of a dirt bun, which was a little funny.

What's so rare about this big ship transporting a carriage, have you ever seen an oil tanker transporting a train? One luck is dozens of knots, and it goes directly across the sea, which is shocking.

Although the Qingshui River is wide, it crosses the river very quickly, and in a quarter of an hour, the boat has already docked, Chen Li did not let Xiang Ye go alone this time, but pulled on the carriage and went straight to the main village along the wharf.

The main village is located halfway up the mountainside, passing through several slopes, but it is barely leaning up.

Not long after, Zhu San took a group of people to the main village hall, there was a little maid serving tea, Chen Li and the person serving the tea whispered a few words, the person serving the tea glanced at Xiang Ye sitting on the chair in surprise, and finally nodded, and soaked a pot for Xiang Ye.

"Tsk, this tea tastes good, it's better than the free one in the restaurant."

Mei Zizi took a sip, looked around the village hall for a week, and saw the little maid holding a plate on the side, and glared at her.

"What are you looking at, haven't you ever seen a panda drinking tea?"

After thinking about it, he drank the rest of the tea with the tea leaves in one gulp, and then looked up at her again.

"Hee-hee... You can really drink it. ”

The little maid was not afraid, and when she saw that Xiang Ye had drunk all the tea, she was not annoyed, and poured another cup for Xiang Ye with a smile.

After repeating this for a time or two, she didn't leave, just stood aside and stared at Xiang Ye to drink tea, and poured him full as soon as she finished drinking, and she never got tired of it.

Chen Li and his entourage were relatively quiet, sitting on the chair in a regular manner, motionless, occasionally glancing over, and quickly retracting their gaze, looking at their nose and nose.

"Senior Brother Zhu, I miss you to death!"

At this moment, a hearty laugh rang out from the door of the hall, and a burly man with a waist about the same thickness as him walked in.

He first stared at Xiang Ye in surprise, but quickly turned back to look at Zhu San.
