The Golden Age - Chapter 151
When it was dark, the team stopped to camp, and Liu Wenxuan took Zhao Yi first to leave.
Among the caravans, several sets of Wutu people’s clothes were already prepared. After Qin Xiao and Dapeng put on the clothes of the Wutu herdsmen, if they didn’t get closer, they wouldn’t recognize the Tang people from Guan Nei.
The two packed up properly, without delay, and set off for Xifengbao.
The caravan is now in the place where the Wutu people are grazing. Everyone knows that the dead wings of Huangxi are bold, but it is not easy to come here. After all, if the traces are found by the Wutu people, they will inevitably gather troops and pursue them. Unwillingness, Huangxi’s death wing is to cause trouble.
The two set off overnight and rushed dozens of miles into the Wutu grazing area.
The territory of the Wutu Khanate is actually very vast. Although the eight tribes of Wutu are the main body, the tribes under it are numerous. In just a few decades, the lifestyles of many tribes have not been completely changed, and they still maintain the original habit.
The place controlled by the white wolf tribe is not small, but the Gobi sandy land occupies a large area, in addition to the herdsmen of grazing, which is basically the same as the way of life of the Wutu people.
While people walked through the vast wilderness all night, they passed the shepherd’s camp from time to time, but they were scattered tents. They didn’t bother. The shepherd seemed to be used to someone running in the wilderness and didn’t care.
The two were almost non-stop. At dusk the next day, the outline of the mountains appeared faintly forward. Qin Xiao opened the map, but the painting was very clear, and said to Dapeng: “Dapeng brother, in front is Wolf Mountain. Looking at what is drawn on the map, the road is not short, where the mountain roads are rugged and difficult to walk, we may not be able to pass Wolf Mountain tonight.”
“I have heard of Langtu Mountain.” Dapeng said: “In the early years, the caravan going west would change its color when it heard of Langtu Mountain. It was the most dangerous place on the way to Chinatown. It stretched for dozens of miles. The road is really not Good walking, many violent and terrible people take Wolf Mountain as their hunting ground.”
“What is the situation now?”
“The Wutu people sent soldiers to clear many times, and removed many of the bandits who were scattered around the Langtu Mountain.” Dapeng said: “Now there are very few bandits in the Langtu Mountain, but bad luck, they will still touch Get some wild dogs playing wild food.”
“Play wild food?”
“Wu Tuo also has many people who can’t survive,” Dapeng explained. “The courageous ones will gather together, ambush in that mountain, and find opportunities to start. Their number is not large, and they dare not act during the day. , Often a few people ambush there at night, if they see orders or weak pedestrians, they will rush out to rob money. The caravans call these people wild dogs, which is ironic, they are not as fierce as horse thieves. He can only bully the weak and pick up some bones to eat.”
Qin Xiao said with a smile: “It’s a very vivid image.” After a pause, he said: “Dapeng, we have been on our way for a day, and even if we enter Wolf Mountain tonight, we can’t go out. I mean, Tomorrow morning, let’s go into the mountain again. At that time, our sight is good, and as you said, you won’t encounter wild dogs again. You can definitely walk out of Wolf Mountain in one day.”
“According to what you said,” Dapeng nodded, looked around, raised his hand and pointed to the south: “Brother Wang, look over there, there are a few tents, or we will borrow there tonight. Stay overnight.”
Qin Xiaodao: “Is that the Wutu herdsmen’s tent?”
“You can rest assured that although we have fought against the Wu Tuo people, not all Wu Tuo people are fierce and terrible.” Dapeng smiled and said: “The Wu Tuo herdsmen are very hospitable and treat others warmly. We don’t have
With a tent, if you sleep in the grass here at night, tomorrow morning, your face will be covered with blood pimples bitten by insects. Don’t underestimate the poisonous insects here. They are very fierce. Some poisonous insects can even kill people. “
“Is it so fierce?”
“It’s not alarmist, there were people who were killed by poisonous insects before.” Dapeng said: “If you don’t enter the mountain tonight, you must find a shepherd to stay. They live here and know how to deal with poisonous insects.” Pointing to the tent over there : “It looks like a simple tent, but where they got their tents, they smoked medicinal materials, and those snakes and dares didn’t dare to get close. The caravan came to camp on this grassland. Sometimes they didn’t bring any medicine and they still had to buy them. Scattered travellers like us, they are also willing to accept, just leave them a little money when they leave.”
Qin Xiao thought for a while and then said, “Brother Deng, although we are wearing Wutu people’s clothes, they are not their people at first glance. If we stay overnight, will they leak the news?”
“You see that the water plants here are not lush.” Dapeng has quite some experience: “So the herdsmen here are definitely not from the Wutu tribe, but are very small tribes. There are five or six tents together. Just a few of the herdsmen’s families, they are the most ordinary people in Wutu, they don’t know any powerful people, and they are relatively remote here, and they don’t say they won’t report, even if they really report, there is nowhere to report. “Looking at Qin Xiao, he smiled and said, “They live here, there are still a lot of roads away from Chinatown, I am afraid that what happened in Chinatown is unclear, as far as they are concerned, sunrise and sunset It is life, there is no need to cause trouble.”
Qin Xiao knew what Dapeng said, and nodded: “Since that is the case, we will spend the night tonight.”
The two patted their horses to the tent and saw a few dozen cattle and sheep near the tent. Several shepherds were grazing there. Near the tent, an old shepherd in her fifties stared at the two and treated them Immediately after coming down, the old herdsman bowed down and performed a ceremony, and Dapeng also performed a ceremony, saying: “Old man, we are Tang people from Guan Nei, we are going to join our caravan, it is too late to dare to enter the mountain, I want to stay here for a night, I wonder if it is convenient?”
The old shepherd looked up at the sky and showed a kind smile, using the half-raised Zhongyuan words: “It’s dark, don’t go into the mountains, just stay here for a night.” “” Don’t say much, just go to the flock.
“Know he can speak the original language?”
Dapeng smiled and said: “Wolf Mountain is ahead, and we are not the only ones who dare not enter the mountain at night. You see that they are camping, they are not here temporarily, they should stay here for a long time, there must have been many people before It’s a matter of course for them to learn a few Zhongyuan words here.”
Qin Xiao thought that he was right with Dapeng team. Dapeng’s character was introverted, but the observation was more meticulous and experienced. If it was replaced by Zhao Yi, I’m afraid it would not be so careful.
The two tied their horses. The old shepherd had brought three young shepherds over. The young shepherd carried the tent, nodded and smiled at Qin Xiao, and did not speak. They started to set up a tent nearby. He is adept at acting, and at first glance, he often does this kind of thing.
“Few caravans have passed this neighborhood lately.” The old shepherd brought two bowls of goat milk over. “After setting up the tent, you rest first and give you food later, what needs help, and Let’s just say it.”
The two took the goat’s milk, but Dapeng was polite, and he swallowed it, Qin Xiao smelled it,
I was really uncomfortable. I saw Dapeng drinking it out, knowing that he went to the village to follow the customs, and that others gave milk with good intentions.
He stooped to express his gratitude. He returned the bowl to the old shepherd with both hands. It seemed strange to see that it was not far away from the corner of his eye. He turned his head to look over and happened to see a figure retracting into a tent. It was strange.
The tent was quickly built. The temporary tent was not very big, but it was more than enough for two people.
Qin Xiao thought that this should be the same as Guan’s inn. When guests come, they will set up a tent as a guest room, and they will provide it if there is any need. When leaving, just leave the room money.
Suddenly I thought that someone had retracted the tent just now, but I couldn’t help looking at it again, but found that there were two tents over there that were obviously newly built, similar to the tent I wanted to live in. That figure was just retracting one of the tents. All in all, myself and Dapeng are not the only guests here. Before that, some guests have lived here.
When it was dark, Qin Xiao and Dapeng were already lying in the tent.
Although the tent is not large, the two are considered to be open. The ground here in the camp has been wiped out of weeds, and the cowhide is used as a bed. It is naturally very different from the room in the Central Plains Inn.
The meal was delivered by an old woman, not as exquisite as the Central Plains dishes, but the roasted barbecue with ingredients is full of aroma, but it is very appetizing.
Qin Xiao smiled and said: “You can also eat barbecue in Guanguan, but if you want to eat real barbecue, it is still good here. The outside is tender and the tenderness is really delicious on earth.”
“So when we leave tomorrow, we really can’t be stingy.” Dapeng swallowed the milk and swallowed the meat: “I guess they are living on hospitality and the cattle and sheep raised are used to make food for guests.”
Qin Xiao laughed, then whispered: “Brother Dap, there seem to be other guests here?”
“I saw it.” Dapeng nodded and said, “It has nothing to do with us, don’t worry about it.” Minato went to the lights and whispered: “Sleep early, there are still many things behind, let’s recuperate.”
The tent was dark, Qin Xiao was lying on the cowhide, and there was silence all around.
The shepherd slept very early, and occasionally came a few cow moo.
Qin Xiao knew that he and Dapeng had dashed for one day, and the caravan was the fastest, at least two or three days. It was far behind.
The night was quiet, and I was about to close my eyes to sleep. Suddenly I heard the sound of very light footsteps. He looked down at Dapeng, but saw that Dapeng had sat up quietly and did something to this side. This gesture is to prevent yourself from acting rashly.
Although Dapeng was sitting, he snored deliberately, but Qin Xiao had taken out the intestinal thorn hidden in his body and held it in his hand.
Although the inside of the tent was unusually dim, but there was a moon tonight, it was quite bright outside. Soon, I saw a crack in the tent door. Someone was carefully pulling the tent apart. At this time, Dapeng lay down. The grunt is constant.
Qin Xiao also lay down, squeezing the fish intestine stubbornly, and only when the man was about to enter the tent, the two immediately attacked.
