It wasn't too long, and the dinner was served. Although the shopkeeper asked for ten taels of silver and bought a lot of vegetables, it was a country store after all, so there was nothing delicious to cook.
There are nothing more than Sichuan bacon, Sichuan fried bacon, yellow braised duck, beggar chicken, fried bamboo shoots, stewed yellow flowers, and vegetarian fried mushrooms.
Just a few dishes, and a big pot of rice.
These soldiers usually can't eat any good food, but when they see something delicious, they eat it desperately one by one!
After eating, most of the people went back to sleep.
Duan Wuji was sitting by the table drinking tea and chatting with the old Mr. Xu. When the oil lamp was almost exhausted, Duan Wuji stood up.
Duan Wuji said to the store owner: "I said store, you have to watch the horse for us at night, if the horse is lost, you can't afford it!
If there is any situation, you just need to call us, all of us will be Wu Bachao, stronger than the people in your family! "
"I said Grandpa Guest Officer, don't worry, I will close the gate in a while, and our father and son will watch it specially. We even feed and drink, so we dare not relax at all!
If the guest's horse is really lost this night, then this matter is really unclear!
To put it bluntly, we are just earning two hard-earned money.
Don't have any guests here, our family has nothing to eat.
Once there are more guests, our family's heart is getting bigger.
You can rest assured and go to sleep! I will definitely call you if something happens. "
Duan Wuji nodded and fell asleep.
After nightfall, the light rain began to fall again, and the raindrops fell from the roof tiles to the ground, making a pleasant sound.
Duan Wuji fell asleep after listening to the sound of rain outside.
After dawn, the rain did not intend to stop, and Duan Wuji and the others had no choice but to stay in the store to rest.
That old boss Xu came over again.
He said with a smile: "I'm talking objectively! I don't think you can leave today. Look at the light rain, and there is no intention of stopping.
I think you should settle the money from yesterday's store, so that we can operate better! "
After hearing this, Li Jing asked: "How much taels of silver do we even feed the people and feed the horses?"
"Guest officer, it's cheaper to stay in my small shop, and it doesn't cost much.
There are twenty-four people and twenty-four horses in all of you, and you only spend twenty-four taels of silver on this day. Each person eats and lives for a day, which is only one tael of silver. "
Li Jing nodded after listening.
"As much as you want, we will give you as much. Didn't we already give you ten taels of silver yesterday, and today we will give you another fourteen taels of silver. We all pay each other, and no one owes anyone else.
Shopkeeper, you still want money from me tomorrow, and we will settle the accounts for you every morning, so that you are good, and we are also good. "
The shopkeeper took the silver and led his son to go shopping again.
Duan Wuji and the others lived here for three days, and on the morning of the fourth day, the rain finally stopped.
After Li Jing settled the shop money, people finally set out on the road again. After these three days of rest, everyone was full of energy.
This team ran all the way to the southwest, heading straight for the border port of the Tang Dynasty. The road became more and more difficult, and the terrain became higher and higher.
However, the weather gradually became clearer.
That Zhang Gongjin complained while walking.
"Then what the hell is the Tubo Kingdom? The road is so difficult.
That is to say, our buddies, if it were someone else, they would not be able to come even if they wanted to. "
Duan Wuji grinned when he heard this.
"I said, Brother Gongjin, don't complain, this is still within the territory of our Great Tang Kingdom.
Let me tell you that the farther you go to the west, the higher and higher the road becomes, and the more rugged the road becomes.
In less than half a month and twenty days, we will be able to see the vast snow-capped mountains.
The ice and snow do not melt all year round, and the seasons are cold.
When we get to that place, if we wear our current clothes, it will not work.
You soldiers without clothes, go ahead and take the opportunity to buy some cotton clothes and put them on! Otherwise, it's notBut these people still didn't get rid of the predicament in front of them. Although they encountered some Turpan tents on the way, Duan Wuji and the others also bought some food from those herdsmen. Not only was the price very expensive, but it was also very unpalatable.
These people have no choice but to persevere desperately. These people are looking forward to getting out of the predicament as soon as possible and reaching the capital of Tupan Kingdom.
Zhang Gongjin looked at Duan Wuji and asked: "I said brother, how far is it to a place where birds like this don't shit."
Duan Wuji laughed when he heard this.
"There is still a long way to go, and one or two days can't solve the problem.
You also know that we can't walk much in a day.
Going too fast, you are not quite used to it yet.
Our brothers have no choice but to walk slowly. "
Zhang Gongjin grinned.
"My God! If you walk like this for twenty days, it will be really offending."
Li Jing laughed and said, "Brother Gongjin, what is this little difficulty for us?
Although it is a bit difficult at the moment, it will not be life-threatening after all!
Besides, those of us are not suitable for life on this plateau, and we did walk very slowly. Prince Duan and his brothers are fine. If they hadn't been waiting for us, they might have gone far away.
Well, let's stop talking about these things, let's move forward quickly!
Strive for us to get used to the climate on this plateau as soon as possible. After arriving at the capital of the Tubo Kingdom, our work is basically completed. "
When Zhang Gongjin heard the same reasoning, she stopped talking.
They walked forward for two days, and when it was almost dusk, they came to the edge of a tiankeng.
This tiankeng is not too deep, maybe twenty or thirty feet deep! The area of ??this tiankeng is not too large, it is only about twenty miles in size!
The grass in the pit grew very luxuriantly, a foot higher than the grass outside.
Duan Wuji said with a smile: "Let's not go any further, let's rest in this tiankeng tonight!
Look at how high the grass grows, which is just for our horses to replenish their physical strength. After such a long time, our horses' physical strength has dropped a lot.
Just in time, let's take this opportunity to have a good rest, and we'll be on our way tomorrow! "
When these people heard what Duan Wuji said, they all agreed.
People led the horses to the bottom of the pit and let the horses eat the grass.
These horses travel every day, gnawing on the grass in the pit, the grass in the pit is usually knee-high, just right for these horses to eat!
At this time, the sun was already pressing down on the mountain, and a cool wind blew by, and the tired people had a smile.
Duan Wuji looked into the pit, and then said to the soldiers: "Look, aren't there dead branches on the edge of the pit?
You cut them down with your swords and brought them all here.
At night, let's light a bonfire, so that we can keep warm!
You also know that this place is very cold at night, if there is no bonfire, it must be freezing enough. "
After hearing this, the soldiers immediately took action. Those who felled trees felled trees, and those who pulled dry wood pulled dry wood.
Duan Wuji said to Li Jing and Zhang Gongjin: "Don't be idle, let's help them cut down trees too!
It will be dark in a while, so how can the twenty of them do it?
Let's get more branches so that we won't have to play at night. "
After Duan Wuji said this, the four of them also joined the dry firewood team. After the sun went down, the branches these people brought over were already like a small mountain.
Duan Wuji ordered people to light a bonfire, and people sat around the fire, eating dry food and chatting.
Duan Wuji said to the people: "Everyone, let's eat some dry food in cold water! I can tell you that this place is so rich in weeds, and it is a place with a lot of wild animals. Not only are there herbivores here, but there are also animals that chase herbivores." Coming wolves or something.
Everyone has to be vigilant, once you are killed by an animal, wouldn't it be shameful?
Everyone brings weapons with them, and puts bows and arrows beside their bodies. If there are animals infesting, we will have a defensive guy. "
When these people heard what Duan Wuji said, they all became energetic immediately.
"I said, Prince Duan, is this place really as dangerous as you say?
Why didn't I hear you mention it when I came to this place! "
After hearing this, Duan Wuji said coldly: "I will tell you in advance if there is anything, but in this place with a lot of grass, there are naturally these dangerous things.
However, this is not all a bad thing. If we catch a few yellow sheep for a while, it will not be able to improve our monotonous food.
Let's get a gazelle roasted like this, how wonderful it would be, you say! "
When everyone heard what Duan Wuji said, they all cheered up.
Li Jing said with a smile: "Since Prince Duan said so, let's get all the guys ready. If we can get some wild animals tonight, that would be a good thing." : www.hlnovel.com)Prince Duan, is this place really as dangerous as you say?
