Evening and New Moon's Rest, Dawn and Crescent Moon's Journey
Chapter 225:Evening and New Moon's Rest, Dawn and Crescent Moon's Journey
Along the newly opened road, Master Niu led a team of about 100 escorts, stepping on the last hint of moonlight from the Black Stone tribe.
Because of the cold weather below zero, the soil on the road is frozen hard state, so that the cow master and a group of people walk on it, but it seems quite easy.
This road, which can accommodate two desert cattle side by side, has now been built more than 300 miles away; this is the result of the labor of tens of thousands of tribes, busy for half a year.
For this result, the Black Stone Tribe paid for the manpower and material resources that the other tribes could not imagine at all; and this trip of three hundred or so, but only a very small part of the long journey to the mountains, and to completely repair the road to the plains, it would take the general investment of the Black Stone tribe and wait for a long time.
Fortunately, even if the locals of the Black Stone tribe do not understand, the reason for 'wanting to be rich and build the road first'; but for the decision of the cow master, they will only be unconditional support and trust, so this road will always be the day when it is repaired...
Even if it is only this short section of the road, it still allows the elder Niu and his party to feel the huge benefits after the road repair; the relatively flat road, so that the cattle master and others in the rush, do not know how much it is easy, the speed is obviously on the line.
If you count the bends and turns around the previous mountain road, the efficiency of the road now is at least more than double the previous; so the distance of more than three hundred miles, under the rush of the team, to more than three o'clock in the afternoon, is always completely finished.
After that, the cow master and his party can only follow the curved path stepped out of the previous people, and the speed slowed down at once...
On this road, in order to get out of the Leishan Mountains as soon as possible, the cattle master and his party spent a lot of time every day to hurry; often in the sky before the light, the moon was hanging obliquely, they finished their breakfast early, and have gone a considerable distance.
At noon, the people will have a short rest during the meal, and then they will go on a non-stop journey; such a process will be until the sky is completely dark, and they will raise the torch for a while.
Finally, it is casual to find a sheltered place to camp, at this time, the night sky is already in the middle of the moon.
The only good thing is that after the last trade trip to the plains, the locals of the Black Stone tribe also gained little insight.
They finally learned to deal with the deserted cowhair, and then made a small tent in the shape of the tribe, that kind of triangular style.
To tell the truth, although it is ugly, but at night to sleep on the ground, compared to the previous kind can only curl up in the fire, blowing frozen to the bones of the cold wind overnight, do not know how much stronger.
On the afternoon of the third day after the departure, the snow finally began to fall, and then quickly accumulated a thick layer on the ground; at this time, the skis carried by the team were finally in use, and the speed of the road was also accelerated again...
“All right, all of you, go back!Go back and tell them to take a good look at the tribe, and when I come back, I will bring gifts to all the tribes."The cow said to the guard in front of him.
After ten days of knowing the night-like hard road, the team finally reached the edge of the Leishan Mountains, and as long as the old man stepped forward for ten miles, even if it was officially stepped into the plain; at this time, it was also time for the promised escort to return.
Responsible for the escort of the team, the mouth of the only nonnoir down, but he and his guard under the feet, but did not move at half.
The old man said nothing more, but turned his body cleanly, raised his right hand at random waving, and ran to the plain.
Behind him, there are hundreds of mighty men with big waists, who are in love and looking at his distant back, and have been waving in a neat way until he can no longer see the figure of the old man of the cow for this...
*****
Since the food in the portable space is still quite sufficient, the oxen who entered the edge of the plain did not intend to trade with other tribes for a long time.
Therefore, he simply decided to go out of the way, at least when he first arrived at the Tanxi tribe, and then exchange a little needed materials according to actual needs.
Even in order to reduce unnecessary trouble, when he passed the tribes that had been in traffic before passing through Huang Ding and Tu, he did not choose to go in and rest, but ran directly to the past.
The last time he appeared here with a strong guard force, the other party could also politely entertain and trade fairly; and now he came to the door alone, what kind of treatment he would eventually encounter, and the old man had not much confidence in his heart...
Alone alone in the vast plains, sleeping rough, in the first two days or two, the cow master is still a little excited, feel a little wild.
It was only after the initial freshness that it disappeared that he felt incredibly bored.
If nothing was too dull, this forbearance was over; but every night when he was camped, it was when Niu Xu was most miserable; because he deliberately kept away from the quarters of the tribes, the camp was a desolate place.
So, every night when he was in the camp, he would burn the bonfire outside the tent.
Even so, he did not dare to let his guard down when he slept, for fear of not knowing when he was in the middle of the night, when he was killed by a head or more hungry beasts, suddenly jumped into his tent.
In this way, every night is really not a long time to rest, with the continuous rush of Niu Xu, his mental state is also day by day down.
Along the way, Niu Xu basically can not see how many individual pedestrians, the carpowler with a minimum number of hundreds of carousels can occasionally see one; but at this time, Niu Xu not only did not dare to come forward, put forward the requirements of walking together, but was hidden early, or went around.
“In the presence of powerful tribes they are regular merchants, the most murderous robbers in front of the lonely passers-by, when they are the most murderous robbers,” was the true face of many carcensors in primitive times; each of these goods, which risked their lives for profit, were not good people.
Therefore, the lonely Niu Xu, since he does not want to fight with such a caravan, avoid it in advance, but it is the best choice.
Just when Niu Xu was more and more tired of such a way of driving, things finally ushered in a turning point.
That day, as he was running along the road, he suddenly found that the same lonely pedestrian was swaggering from the direction opposite him; there was no fear of fear on his face, leisurely as if he were strolling in the backyard of his house.
