Facts proved that Xiao Han's guess was correct. Ren Qing had indeed found a campsite, and this campsite was in the forest he just passed.
"Camp in the woods tonight?"
Following the sound, Xiao Han and his party came to where Ren Qing was. When they saw a large open space surrounded by trees, Liu Hongji's brows immediately frowned.
Sleeping in the woods at night is basically a taboo for military strategists.
Not to mention the insects, ants, snakes and scorpions in the forest, if the enemy you encounter is too dangerous, you can set a fire and you will have nowhere to run!
"Hello? You're not camping in the woods. Do you want to sleep on the plank road? Aren't you afraid of falling into the cliff? Hurry up and set up the tent! Let's have dinner later! By the way, we agreed tonight that you should put the tent as far away from me as possible.
A little! Snoring is the same as thunder, who can bear it?"
Compared with Liu Hongji, Xiao Han didn't think much about camping in the woods.
Not to mention that the place Ren Qing was looking for was particularly flat. In some places, you could still see the ashes from burning campfires. Apparently, this place was often used as a camping ground by people going in and out of the mountain.
"Huh? Master Hou! There are several camphor trees here!"
After taking the photo of Liu Hongji, before he could get angry, not far ahead, the boy suddenly waved his hands in surprise and shouted towards him.
"Camphor tree?" Upon hearing this name, Xiao Han immediately narrowed his eyes with joy. He quickly left Liu Hongji, who was staring at him with bull eyes, and ran over, not forgetting as he ran.
While shouting:
"Quickly, set up our tent right here, no one of them is allowed to snatch it!"
"You idiot, come and help, or you will sleep outside the tent tonight!"
Of course, it's not surprising that Xiao Han and Xiaodong were making such a fuss.
Camping in the wild sounds like a very leisurely and comfortable thing, but in fact, the ubiquitous mosquitoes, flies, as well as bugs and ants on the ground are enough to drive people crazy!
In the past, in order to avoid these things, Xiao Han and others burned sulfur to drive away mosquitoes.
But that thing is effective, but after the burning, the bugs are gone, and their own people's lives are also smoked to the point where only half of them are left.
Now, seeing these natural insect-repellent camphor trees, it's strange that Xiao Han is not excited! At least tonight, he won't have to smell the rotten egg smell of sulfur.
Most of the people in the team this time were veterans, and it only took a matter of minutes to set up a tent.
Of course, if Liu Hongjifei hadn't competed with Xiao Han for the best position, the speed would have been faster.
After discovering a good place like the camphor tree, it was natural that Xiao Han would not monopolize it, so despite the reluctance of the boss Xiao Han, other people's tents were still close to him, especially Liu Hongji, who wanted to disgust Xiao Han.
His tent was almost crowded with Xiao Han.
After setting up camp, the next step is cooking.
In the forest, you don't have to worry about firewood. You can just pull it and pull it, and you will get a pile back.
Moreover, following a trampled forest path, the fool also found a small stream. The clear spring water gurgled out from the cracks in the stones. It looked so pleasant. If Xiao Han had never allowed them to drink raw water,
When it came to water, the fool would lie down by the stream and take a few gulps.
As the sun sets, the tired birds return to the forest. Even the singing cicadas that have only a few good days left have stopped chirping at this time, making the whole forest become more and more quiet.
In the camp, several bonfires were burning brightly. In a large hanging pot, water was rolling, and a strong smell of meat made people drool. In another hanging pot, white rice was immediately cooked.
It will absorb enough water and turn into a pot of fragrant white rice.
"Oh, it smells so good!"
Just when Xiao Han and a group of people were holding bowls and holding out their chopsticks, they were waiting for the meal to begin.
Suddenly, there was a rustling sound outside the forest, followed by a slightly clear child's voice.
"who?"
Ren Qing, who was sitting at the outermost corner, was the most alert. The moment he heard the sound, his hand had already touched the baggage on his back.
Liu Hongji, Xiaodong and others, although they were half a beat slower, at this time they also threw away their chopsticks and stood up, looking warily into the depths of the forest.
Under the gaze of everyone, the bushes deep in the woods swayed a few times, and then about six or seven pedestrians holding horses walked out of the darkness. The leader, an old man, had not even arrived, but he had already greeted him politely.
Passed over.
"Caravan?" With the last ray of light on the horizon, Xiao Han and others saw clearly that the other party was dressed like a businessman, and their hearts suddenly felt relieved.
As an important road between Shuzhong and Guanzhong, Jinniu Road has never lacked caravans. In the past two days alone, Xiao Han and others have seen a lot of caravans coming and going, as long as the other party is not a mountain bandit.
, it’s no big deal.
"Which caravan are you from?" Unlike Xiao Han and others who were sitting down one after another, Ren Qing's eyes were still fixed on the person coming, and his big hand never left his baggage.
As the only person in the team who has been to Lingnan, no one knows better than Ren Qing how to be careful when going out!
So even if the other party is really a group of businessmen, he will not take it lightly. Who can guarantee that the businessmen will not kill people and seize treasures?
"Hahaha, my husband Wu Fengruitian is the steward of the Wu family's caravan in Hanzhong. He just returned from Shuzhong. It was too late, so he came here to sleep out all night. It's quite annoying."
The old man who had just spoken to him led a little boy to the open space, smiled and held his hands in front of Ren Qinggong, speaking with the elegance and kindness unique to a businessman, but even Ren Qing did not notice that this old man was looking at Xiao Han and the others.
When setting up the tent, a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.
"Shopkeeper Wu! I've admired you for a long time!" After hearing the old man announcing his identity, Ren Qing also bowed his hand and returned a salute to the old man, although he had never heard of the Wu family caravan.
"Haha, you're welcome! I wonder if you are..."
"Oh, we are just ordinary businessmen with no reputation. If I want to camp, please feel free to do so."
"Grandpa, their food tastes so good! Let's cook and eat quickly! We've been gone all day and we're starving!"
The old man tentatively asked Ren Qing a few more questions, but in the end he didn't ask anything. On the contrary, the little boy who was being led became impatient. He looked at Xiao Han and his hanging pot with big eyes and swallowed.
He was spitting and begging the old man to cook something.
"Okay, okay, you know how to eat!"
The old man seemed to be very doting on the little boy. He smiled bitterly when he heard this, made a bow to the people on Xiao Han's side, and apologized. Then he turned back and ordered the man to unload the goods on the horse and put them all in.
