Yin You has more than just this one cloak, there are several more. They are worn when it is the coldest, when it is cold, when it is just cold, when it is neither cold nor hot, and even when it is hot.
Yes, I wear it when it rains...
The cloak alone contained a suitcase, so he had the most luggage.
Man Bao yawned before falling asleep and went to look for Nie Canjun. By coincidence, Bai Shan also came over.
"Is he really a businessman?"
Nie Canjun said: "I didn't see anything wrong."
That was probably it. Man Bao and Bai Shan went to bed with peace of mind. When they got up early the next morning, the guards had already started boiling water and making porridge.
Manbao stretched his arms and legs, turned around, and then turned around to wash up. The others continued to read on the vast grassland with books as usual for about three quarters of an hour. After breakfast was ready, they collected the books.
Go to have a meal.
Mr. You was stunned when he saw it. He stuffed a piece of pancake into his mouth mechanically and said to himself: I now completely believe that their trip this time is not mainly a business trip.
Although Mr. You wants to make friends with them, for businessmen, time is money, and they cannot wait for Zhou Man and the others to leave together.
So after eating dry food, Mr. You came over to say goodbye to Mr. Zhuang, planning to go ahead.
Mr. Zhuang sent them away with a smile. When they were far away, he turned around and said to the disciples and students who were eating porridge: "Do you know what rushing is? This is it."
Man Bao didn't care, "We are not in a hurry, sir. We have also been in a hurry, and we are marching in a hurry."
Bai Shandao: "When we rushed to Xiazhou years ago, our thighs were even worn out, and our speed was much faster than Master You."
This means that they do not lack this experience and there is no need to accumulate it.
Mr. Zhuang shook his head and asked them: "How long do you plan to go to Liangzhou?"
Man Bao said: "Come on, come on, sir, I heard that there is a section of the Great Wall further ahead. Should we climb the Great Wall?"
In fact, there was a section of the Great Wall before Xiazhou, but they had never passed by the Great Wall three times in and out, so they had never been there. They had all left the protective range of that section of the Great Wall two days ago, but there was another section further ahead. Listen
Said the scenery was pretty good.
Mr. Zhuang thought for a while and then said: "Forget it, let's see when we come back. Let's go to Yumen Pass first."
He looked at Liu Huan and said, "We will pass through Suzhou on the way. Do you want to take a special detour to Suzhou City to meet your parents?"
Liu Huan refused without thinking, "It's better to go find Fang Zi. We can just go straight. There is no need to go to Suzhou City."
Liu Huan was not very familiar with his parents, so he still sneaked out this time. Although he had the support of his grandparents, he still felt guilty.
I feel guilty and don’t even want to go to Suzhou to see my parents.
So the group of people speeded up, and Mr. You saw the speed of their carriages and horses. Obviously they would set off earlier every day, but they could catch up with them after noon, and they could always camp in one place at night.
Bai Shan and the others especially like to talk to Mr. You, and basically invite him to have dinner with him every night and chat.
Mr. You couldn't eat for free, but he really didn't have much food with him. He could only give them some tea leaves from his own goods.
Bai Shan happily accepted it. Although the tea was not better than the tea they brought themselves, it was also what they wanted, wasn't it?
Mr. You breathed a sigh of relief. For two days in a row, he had said everything he could and felt like he had nothing to say to them.
At this time, they found a place to camp for the night, and the carriage and horses stopped. Mr. Zhuang took a horse and sat on the ground, letting out a sigh of relief.
Mr. You who came over couldn't help laughing, "Sir, are you tired?"
Mr. Zhuang smiled and said, "It's okay. I'm just a little stiff after sitting in this car for a long time. But the most important thing is that I can't meet anyone all the time, and I feel a little bored."
Mr. You said: "This is how it is on the grassland. Herders are always moving, so the markets move with them. This time because of the smallpox epidemic, I went out a month later than in previous years. I couldn't visit the markets or tribes I remembered.
Already."
Yes, for five consecutive days Manbao and the others didn't meet any local herdsmen, let alone the market. Even the inn was in tatters and there was no one there.
Nie Canjun had seen it and guessed that no one was here after the smallpox, so they did not live in the inn, but still found a place to camp outside.
Although smallpox has passed, no one knows whether smallpox patients died in the inn, or whether the people in the inn cleaned the inside before leaving...
So they didn't live there.
However, Nie Canjun wrote down the location of the post station and planned to report it to the defenders when he went to the next town. Why was there no one to guard or operate the post station on the official road?
What if there is a military emergency and no one provides carriages and horses?
Not only Nie Canjun, but also Man Bao, Bai Shan and others also wrote it down. Bai Shan even took out a roll of drawing paper, slowly spread it out, calculated the approximate proportions and wrote down the location of the inn on it, and made
After marking it, take out a booklet and write it down.
Man Bao stared at the map, turned around and said, "It seems that smallpox on the grassland is more serious than Senior Brother Yang knew."
Bai Shan nodded, tilted his head and thought for a while before saying, "Food on the grassland should be in short supply this year. Didn't Mingxue negotiate with someone in Fengzhou for a batch of grain?"
Xiang Mingxue was about to get married to Zhou Lijun, so he changed his name to each other instead of calling each other by his eldest brother's name as before.
Man Bao touched his chin and said: "As a result, the sales of medicinal materials and other things will be less. I am afraid that the fourth brother's business will be difficult to do this year."
Although he thinks this way, Manbao doesn't worry too much. Even if it's not easy to do, it will just make less money. When the first batch of students from the Imperial Medical Office go to the local medical office in autumn and winter, more medicinal materials need to be prepared to make medicinal materials.
The business will not lose money.
This is a grassland. There are quite a lot of medicinal materials on the grassland, and there are also many species that have never been seen before. Keke quickly scanned three plants that it had not included, and Manbao went to dig for them on horseback carrying a medicine basket.
Bai Erlang and the others didn't want to ride horses anymore, so only Bai Erlang went with them, and Daji ran behind them as usual.
In order for Man Bao to make the disappearing plants inconspicuous, she would not only dig up more plants to be included, but also dig up medicinal materials she recognized on the grass and throw them into the medicine basket, not to mention the good luck of following them.
Even Bai Shan was not sure whether she gave it to her younger father-in-law.
When he was having a great time digging, Daji suddenly lay down on the grass and listened.
When Bai Shan and Man Bao saw it, they immediately fell down and put their ears to the grass to listen with great interest. After a while, Man Bao asked Bai Shan who was lying opposite, "Did you hear something?"
Bai Shan: "No, does the sound of insects count?"
So the two of them sat up and looked at Daji together.
Daji: "...Young Master, Miss Man, I heard sounds, there was the sound of horse hooves, but more of it seemed to be the sound of cows and horses walking around. We may have encountered grazing."
Man Bao and Bai Shan looked at each other and then lay down on the grass to study by themselves. For a long time, they still heard nothing.
Daji looked at it and then said: "Master, don't dislike the dirty grass, just stick close and listen."
Bai Shan raised his head, looked down at the grass beneath him, finally took out the handkerchief and placed it on the grass, and then he got closer and listened.
