Chapter five hundred and eighty seventh winter without water

Four people from the Yunzhou faction, with Yingchu as the leader, first ran west for twenty kilometers, and then slowly turned and ran north.

Yingchu's speed was not fast, but Fang Zhuan followed easily. After twenty kilometers, no one among the four felt tired.

While running around just now, Fang Zhuo observed the four of them again. First, he discovered a series of strange tattoos on Fu Jiao's neck. They were neither words nor geometric figures. As for what they were, he didn't know yet.

Fu Jiao is a little shorter than Fang Zhuan, has dark skin, and obviously has more muscles than Fang Zhuan. When Yingchu doesn't speak, she looks like a young lady from a wealthy family. With her petite body, she looks like Xiaojiabiyu, but her face

The skin on her face is a bit old. If she were a few years younger, she should be popular with men, but I don’t know why she is still single in the Yunzhou sect with so many male disciples. As for Henzui, if she were given a pair of big

The frame of the glasses was stuck on her face, which must have given her a nerdy look. She was not very talkative and would often make some strange movements, such as rubbing her hands together, as if she was in a cold environment at the moment.

Along the way, the four of them didn't say anything. When they were hungry, they ran and ate something to cushion themselves. As for how to eat, each one depended on his own ability.

At night, the place to stay was a mound-like hill with several trees on it. After spending the night in the wild of the Chaotic Continent, Yingchu heard her elders say that she should either climb a tree or bury herself underground.

, it is very dangerous to spend the night on the ground or other places where you can be seen anywhere.

As a result, the group of people fled to the big tree and spent the first night surrounded by thick branches and leaves.

The Yunzhou Sect has been established for a long time, and the closed sect occupies a large area. Because transportation is blocked, there are no counties or people living nearby. The four people are currently located near the sect. It can be said that except for them

Apart from the four people, it was really empty, not even a ghost could be seen.

As soon as it dawned the next day, the four of them got up and started on their way. Their clothes had not been touched all night last night. All they needed to do was to get up and tidy up a little. As for washing up in the early morning, there was no washing at all here, even in the sect.

In the women's residence area where Fang Zhuo lives, combing her hair and washing her face with water are already considered tedious steps in life in the eyes of Jianghu people. For example, a straightforward woman like Xiang Nan greets her early in the morning.

Even washing your face can make her hate you for a long time.

Back to this moment, since Fang Zhuan and the others left the sect until now, Yingchu has always been running at a speed of thirty kilometers per hour. For ordinary people, this kind of endurance is considered to be super good, but for warriors it is slow.

.

The night of the second day was also spent in the wild, but this place was a plain with no big trees. In the field of vision, there was only a river not far away on the left, and there were flat plains in other directions.

Only when we got here did we leave the edge of the sect. At dusk, Yingchu took out a map and traced the location of their group. "Two hundred miles to the north from where we are, there is the first county town of Dong."

Wushui, although it is getting dark, there is no good place to stay nearby, so I decided to continue on my way and try to find a place to spend the night outside Dongwushui City!"

"Dongwushui? Is it the name of a county?" It was the first time he heard that a county was named so casually, so Fang Zhuo asked curiously.

"Junior brother, I don't know. The Wuchuan River on the left flows from the far north. It has only one river channel and no branches. In winter, the river in the north freezes, and naturally there is no water to flow south. Follow this

Fifty miles south of the river, there will be many branch rivers, or they will intersect with other rivers. In winter, there will be river water in those southern rivers, but in winter there is no water. The terrain of the river next to the county is high, and the water from other rivers cannot flow back to it.

Therefore, there will be no water in the river in winter, and that county is very close to the river, so it is called "winter without water."

When Yingchu explained to Fang Zhuan, Quan Dang asked everyone to take a break. After that, Yingchu took the lead and continued heading north.

Dongwushui is a post-type county town. Many merchants from the north and south will pass by here. The most buildings in the county town are inns. In addition to providing accommodation, the biggest purpose is to replenish water and food for the passing merchants. However, ordinary people in the county town

There are almost no people because there is no water available in winter and it is not suitable for living at all.

A county like Dongwushui may seem nondescript, but there is no imperial rule in the Chaotic Continent. All counties are attached to a certain sect, and each sect has very different methods of managing the county. Dongwushui in front of us is...

It is a notorious black city. Each person has to pay two taels of silver to enter and leave the county. Horses and vehicles are free. This has caused many passing merchants to only send one or two people in to purchase things that need to be supplemented. The caravan

Most people will wait outside the county town.

Some people who come to Dongwushui for the first time may ask why they don't even enter when horses and vehicles are admitted for free. The reason is that if horses and vehicles enter, then the people accompanying the caravan must also enter. If only the carriages are allowed in but not the carriages,

People, unprotected vehicles and commercial goods are the acts of coming to deliver things. Wushui County in winter is quite chaotic, and killing people and stealing goods is common. If people are entering to protect vehicles and goods, then one more person will cost more

Spending two taels of silver, one in and one out is four taels of silver. How could such an expense be excessive in the eyes of a shrewd merchant, so many caravans would wait outside the county town.

However, it is not safe for everyone outside the city. If you have more fat, there will always be some bold and cruel people who will wait for the opportunity to look for weak caravans to attack. Therefore, whether it is in the county town or outside the county town, the caravans need to be on guard at all times.

Beware of various risks.

As time passed, the bad reputation of Dongwushui had spread, and the number of caravans staying overnight here naturally decreased. Unless they were forced to do so or something happened on the way, they would spend the night near Dongwushui.

When Fang Zhuan and his four friends arrived here, they encountered a rare scene. A large number of caravans camped outside the city for the night. The elders of Yingchu had a lot of experience and explained the situation in some nearby places before setting off.

, seeing so many caravans spending the night here means that something big happened somewhere, causing these caravans to risk spending the night here.

Yingchu shared the experience gained from the elders with Fang Zhuo and others.

Less than a year has passed since the once-in-a-century reincarnation war. The territory of the sect has to be adjusted due to the success or failure of the war. This adjustment process cannot be realized in a word, especially when some larger cities change owners.

, if that process doesn’t take five or ten years, it won’t be normal.

Nowadays, it is true that a big problem has occurred in the trading of goods in the Chaotic Continent. There are many distribution centers for commercial goods in the Chaotic Continent. Among them, several large cities with distribution centers are very famous. For example, in the middle section of the north and south of the entire continent, that is, at the equator line.

There are three big cities in the position. This century-old reincarnation war caused two of the big cities to change owners. The process of changing owners was very unsmooth. The former people in power refused to retreat, and the new people in power were unable to advance.

Go, if you can't get in, you will be surrounded, and the people inside can't even think of coming out, and the trading of goods will be interrupted. It is the only normal city, because there is no competition, whether it is the cost of entering or leaving the city, or the taxes on the goods traded inside.

Several times higher than usual.

Secondly, there are three large cities near the equator, and one is called the Three Realms. Now the people in charge of two cities have changed hands. This is not the best time for trading goods, and the reason why there are so many merchants is not the most popular time.

When the opportunity comes, they rush to the stalls to do business, knowing that risks and opportunities coexist. The city of the Three Realms is in chaos, but as long as it stabilizes, it will surely usher in a new beginning.

All merchants who are willing to take high risks and rush to the Three Realms at this time hope to seize business opportunities and obtain the first deals of various transactions during the initial period of stability in the Three Realms cities. This is why the current scene of merchants gathering has emerged.

And these merchants will walk slowly on the road, no matter what itinerary or plan is, they have to wait even if they go early. Moreover, the closer to the Three Realms City, the higher the price consumption will be. Instead of going to high-cost areas to wait, it is better to wait.

Let the caravans relax and go on their way in a leisurely manner, which saves money and saves everyone some energy.

It's just that this saves effort and only makes the merchant's boss comfortable. The guards will suffer. The longer they are delayed along the way, the greater the pressure they bear on the guard duty. Fortunately, there are many merchants and everyone gathers together.
