- The radiance of stars swept away the darkness and fell on the wasteland.
With dead vines and old trees, sparse vegetation, and gravel everywhere, it is endless and desolate as far as the eye can see. However, when I looked up, the sky was clear and blue.
¡°Today¡¯s weather is good, gentle breeze, no dust, rare good weather!¡±
The desolate wasteland is full of dirt roads, and a long train of vehicles is moving slowly. More than a hundred horse-drawn carriages and mule carts are lined up in a row, fully loaded with goods, women and children. There were many men with swords in light yellow uniforms walking on both sides, lighting torches and paying careful attention to their surroundings.
Not only that, there is a small triangular flag in front of each car, with a red border and a white surface, and the surname 'Chen' on it. At the front of the large team, there is also a large flag, the same red border and white surface, but on it is Different characters 'anyuan'.
It can be seen from this that this is a escort, starting from Qing State, heading towards the border, intending to enter Qi State. There are actually quite a few such teams in the wasteland in this area. Looking at the road under my feet, I saw a soft dirt road leading to the front. There was no grass on it and it was covered with car marks and horse manure. I knew that merchants often passed by on this road.
The end of the team is slightly different.
Six horses were guarding the left and right wings, one horse was empty, and there were ten mule carts in the middle, two with carriages, and eight with supplies. In addition, accompanying the ten mule carts, there were sixteen boys and girls gritting their teeth. walk. These sixteen boys and girls seemed to have walked a lot, and their faces were dirty and they didn't bother to wipe them off.
"You must keep breathing and save your energy. Walking along the way is a good opportunity to hone your physical fitness and perseverance. No one can be left behind!" The man on the horse scolded the man on the horse as he turned his horse around and went to the back to encourage them. .
"This batch of seedlings is not bad. Falcon, Hound Dog, and Lan Lan have trained them for half a year, and they are finally ready!" A man from Another Rider laughed.
"People who are among the refugees or those who have come out have experienced a lot and have a strong character. If they don't know how to cherish such a good life, it will be in vain!"
"Yes, only by enduring hardship can one become a master!"
"I didn't know before that walking can actually be a good way to practice martial arts. If we keep practicing for a year, wouldn't all of these little guys become third-rate warriors?"
"Hey, Erbao, do you think the skills taught by the master are easy? You are all lucky. If you follow the master, otherwise you will not be able to become a third-rate martial artist, let alone a third-rate martial artist. If you practice without the guidance of a famous teacher, your life will be short-lived if you go wrong. !¡±
"indeed!"
""
At the end of the escort team, among the dozen or so mule carts, were Zhang Weidong and his entourage.
???????????????? It¡¯s a coincidence that everyone left the south gate smoothly overnight, but after meeting many people after leaving the city gate, they realized that there were other people who left overnight, mainly a large group of merchants and three small groups of merchants. This big businessman's surname is Chen. But it was not the Chen Xiong that Zhang Weidong knew.
Zhang Weidong and others could not get together with the merchant team, and the big and small merchants were not willing to let Zhang Weidong and others become a burden. Normally, the small merchants following behind the big merchants are not actually formal members, but are seeking asylum. They give the big merchants a sum of money and take care of them. They use the power of the fox to get through, and the people in the escort agency turn a blind eye. One eye wouldn't really care.
In the merchant team. Zhang Weidong's identity as a doctor is no longer useful, because he is a big businessman who has a doctor accompanying him.
There was only one small businessman who was not bad. After hearing that Zhang Weidong was a doctor, he agreed immediately. Let them follow behind and be counted among the traveling merchants. As for the identity of Zhang Weidong and others from the Qing Kingdom, the other party didn't care. What's more, there was a woman in Zhang Weidong's team who actually had the identity of the "Great Qin Kingdom". Zhang Weidong and others were considered to be seeking relatives, so this was even easier.
The State of Qin, the Dynasty of Prime Minister Liu and the State of Qi. The three countries border each other, but unlike the Qi State which is barren, the Qin State is a powerful country, rich and powerful, almost comparable to the Liu Xiang Dynasty. Therefore, whether it is the status of Da Qin or the status of Liu Xiang Dynasty, it is easy to use in Qi.
In one night, the team traveled 30 miles and still had not left Ren County. However, now that we have set foot in the wilderness, and it is on the border between the two countries, it is already very desolate. There are few villages and towns to be seen, and the team's supplies rely entirely on materials raised by themselves.
There is a distance of 300 miles from Ren County to Dayong Pass, which originally belonged to the Qing Dynasty. According to this walking method, it would take at least six days to travel 50 miles in one day. You can't walk much, the horses can't stand it.
¡°Rest on the spot for two hours!¡±
At this moment, a horse came running in front, and the escort waved the flag of the escort agency and shouted a notice.
Of course, as for the three small merchants at the back, that is not the task of the escort.
The team of big merchants stopped, and the three small merchants behind them naturally came to a stop.??stopped to rest and extinguished the torch. Previously, the team left the city overnight and traveled 30 miles. It was no longer a choice. If daybreak came, it would be a problem whether Hong Shang could successfully take office in the county. Fortunately, nothing happened along the way. Now both men and horses are tired, and it is impossible not to rest.
As soon as the carriage stopped, there was a commotion outside. Xu Qing and other women and children all woke up and got out of the car. However, this is a dangerous wasteland and no one can wander around. After waiting for a group of people to be divided into groups, the children were not asked to enter the carriage, but were guarded by falcons and hounds and were not allowed to go out of the crowd.
¡°Bury the pot and make rice!¡±
The duty of vigilance has not been relaxed, and everyone has not dismounted.
The carts of Zhang Weidong¡¯s group carried a large amount of water and coal, as well as pots and pans, and even dragged a blacksmith to build a stove.
The women started cooking, while Goudan and other children were asked to stand and breathe. It is estimated that there are outsiders, these children are very well-behaved, not as lazy and chattering as usual.
Xiao Yueyue and Zhang Huicai, who is one year older, are four or five-year-old children who do not understand what atmosphere is. They are snuggling in the arms of Zhang Weidong who is sitting down to rest.
"Dad, Brother Goudan is slacking off again. I saw it. Punish him!" Xiao Yueyue secretly reported, but everyone heard the milky voice.
She remembered that Goudan was lazy during the practice, and Zhao Erbao hit him on the palm with a cane. The reason why Xiao Yueyue remembers it so well is that Goudan once snatched Xiao Yueyue's toy, which was a wooden doll carved by Zhang Weidong, and ended up breaking it. This made Xiao Yueyue cry all day long.
Everyone smiled.
Goudan bared his teeth at Xiao Yueyue and quickly stood up.
"Daddy, Brother Goudan is scaring me again!" Xiao Yueyue flattened her mouth, and tears were about to fall.
Zhang Weidong quickly coaxed: "Dad knows, I will punish him later!"
"Yueyue wants new toys, so I won't give them to Brother Goudan to play with!"
"How about giving it to sister Huihui?"
"Compared to Xiao Yueyue's cleverness, Zhang Hui is just a little lady. He blushes easily, doesn't talk much and is very well-behaved. She and Xiao Yueyue are similar in age, and they hold hands whenever they go out, acting like big sisters. Give everything to Xiao Yueyue.
Xiao Yueyue thought for a moment, stretched out her fingers, counted them, took out her index finger, and said, "Okay. Just one!"
"Little girl, you have so many toys and only give one to Sister Huihui? Sister Huihui usually gives you all the good things."
Xiao Yueyue was stunned for a moment, looked at Zhang Hui, stretched out her head, kissed Zhang Hui on the alchemy top, and then smiled 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 smart and very active. Even if she becomes a mother, she will not change her true colors. If she hadn't been worried that Zhang Weidong would dislike her for dancing with a gun and playing with a stick, and was not like a virtuous woman, so she restrained herself a lot, she would probably have kept the sword from her body. Xiao Yueyue seems to have inherited this.
"The little girl is very clever, Dr. Zhang is lucky!" Boss Wu, a young 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, stood up and clasped his fists in return: "Good luck, Boss Wu!"
"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 quickly gave in. But he finally took over. This is Boss Wu's show of goodwill. Since we are in the same team, we will inevitably have to deal with each other along the way. A jar of wine and gifts is light on friendship. I can't accept it.
"Why is this so embarrassing? Thank you very much, Boss Wu, for the gift. I also have some good tea, so I'll make some for Boss Wu to try!"
"no, I'm fine!"
"Wait a moment. Wait a moment!"
Zhang Weidong also made a small bag of Sanfeng Jinxia, ??weighing half a catty, and gave it back to Boss Wu.
Reciprocity is a courtesy, and wine and tea are the most common.
This mutual gift brings us closer together.
Zhang Weidong calls him "Brother Wu", and Boss Wu calls him "Brother Zhang". The main reason is that Boss Wu is in his thirties and has lived in the open air, so he looks older, while Zhang Weidong looks like he is only in his twenties, so he looks much younger.
The two of them didn¡¯t talk about their future, but they thought about medical skills.
Zhang Weidong took Boss Wu's pulse, and within a dozen breaths, he explained the symptoms, minor ailments and old ailments, which shocked him immediately. Although Boss Wu was interested in trying Zhang Weidong's medical skills, he did not do so specifically, but just in passing. However, he did not expect that Zhang Weidong's medical skills seemed to be much higher than he expected.
The root cause of the old disease is trauma. It has been seven or eight years, but it has not recovered and cannot be cured. And the little problem?More. For example, he travels all year long to do business and is not allowed to rest and maintain his health. How can his body be free from problems?
"The physical problem is not serious and can be cured. However, if Brother Wu is not in a hurry, the potions will have to be collected by Brother Wu after passing customs. He left in a hurry and the medicine hall was cleaned up in a hurry. Many potions were scattered in a mess. ." Zhang Weidong said.
Boss Wu said hurriedly: "No rush, no rush, it's already an old problem, and there's no rush to wait for a while!"
"By the way, I still don't know where Brother Zhang's medicine hall is?"
"Yonghetang!"
Boss Wu was immediately surprised and said: "Yonghe Hall in Ren County? The Yonghe Hall where the diagnosis fee is one silver?"
"Brother Zhang, don't get me wrong. The name of Yonghetang has spread. They say that the doctor in charge is accurate in diagnosis and the medicine is miraculous. I planned to go see a doctor, but I didn't expect to encounter such a thing. What a coincidence now, that doctor It¡¯s you, Brother Zhang!¡±
Zhang Weidong smiled calmly and said: "It's true that the medical fees are sky-high. There are many people who accuse me of being evil!"
Boss Wu said: "That's just because those people are ignorant and have no vision!"
After this experience, Boss Wu became even more enthusiastic. He kept chatting for half an hour before going back. After a while, he asked someone to bring some good food and fruits to the children. Even Boss Wu's guards began to get close to Zhao Erbao and others.
Compared with Zhao Erbao and several others who rode one horse and one horse, Boss Wu was a small businessman, but he only had a few horses to ride on. As for these guards, except for the man next to Boss Wu who was a low-class warrior, there was only one leader in the guard team who was a low-class warrior, which was very shabby. In fact, the force configuration of the other two small merchants is similar.
Except for big merchants who can afford to hire third-rate warriors, small merchants cannot.
On Zhang Weidong's side, several children were practicing martial arts at the stance, and more than a dozen boys and girls were practicing martial arts on the road. This 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 are probably warriors, and their strength is no less than mine!" Boss Wu's personal guard looked over there with hot eyes and said solemnly.
"My medical skills are very high, and I have many warriors under my command. This Doctor Zhang is not simple!" Boss Wu said.
The guard frowned and said, "Does it have a great background?"
Boss Wu was also puzzled. He pondered for a moment and said: "No matter what, this person is not simple. We meet by chance. It is convenient for others and convenient for ourselves!"
