Sword Pawn Crossing River

It took more than two months to cross the Great Vietnam, and it was Congling, the world’s largest Breaking Horizon Mountain Range, which stretches for nearly ten thousand li, crosses one to two thousand miles, and isolates Liang from most countries. Come,

Cong Ling is Liang Guo and his destination. The goal is close at hand.

In a small town under the Congling Mountains, Lou Xiaoyi visually inspected the distant mountains. The average height of the thousand zhang made him look at the mountains and sigh!

He can't fly over!

His soul has also been floating in the universe for many years, but as a Soul Body, he cannot feel the changes in the surrounding environment; and in the human livable world, the environment changes with heights. The temperature above thousand zhang began to drop sharply, not to mention the wind shear between the mountains.

Fly straight, he has to fly at least three thousand zhang or more to get rid of the obstacles of the mountain. He can't do it; if he only circumnavigates the mountain at the location of Qianlai zhang high, he doesn't think that oneself can finally go around!

This is why he found this small town, because this is a very famous starting place in Congling, and many caravans set off from here to go to Liang Country.

After spending some silver, Lou Xiaoyi successfully found a caravan that was recently set off. Most of them were merchants from the Greater Vietnam, and there were also a few people from Liang. The goods they brought were mainly silk, tea, porcelain. This is a very popular product in Liang Guo, and there is no worries about the market.

Lou Xiaoyi is one of the few pure guests, and the only Shining Night person. This makes everyone guess that he is a troubled Young Master. Shining Night’s situation is changing. , There are those who are proud, and there are those who are lost, and it is inevitable to be displaced.

A young master dressed as a scholar, who doesn't even have a personal attendant, has to climb the Congling Ridge alone, and there is no other reason!

After a few days of preparation, a huge team of donkeys set off. Hundreds of mountain donkeys are the only core of this team!

Gobi desert has camel, and plain grass has fine steed. In Congling, the animal that people rely most on is mountain donkey; this thing bears hardships and hard work, has a strong bearing capacity, is persevering, can withstand severe cold, and is in the mountains. It walks very steadily, and is good at going up and down. It is an animal that is born for the mountains. Its only problem is that it is a little stubborn, but it is not a problem with experienced mountain people.

The whole commercial road is rugged, some places have roads, and some places have no roads at all, so there are no luxuries like donkey carts. Everyone, guide mountain people, guards, merchants, travel Everyone is a mountain donkey. There is no distinction between high and low. Those who take this trade route make hard money and hardly see the elderly. Most of them are young and middle-aged. Only the travellers have a family of four and two. An old man, a woman holding her infant child.

Lou Xiaoyi was assigned a grass donkey, which is a female-donkey. In fact, the overwhelming majority in the donkey team are all grass donkeys, except for the leading ones. This is the nature of mountain donkeys. Calling a donkey, you don't have to do anything else this way, you have to waste it on preventing them from biting.

Grass donkeys are much more docile, and their endurance is not bad, so the donkey team is mainly grass donkeys, which is also a feature near Congling.

This is a young grass donkey. Compared with other donkeys, there is nothing special about it, but there is a white spot on the forehead, like a little white flower in full bloom. Lou Xiaoyi took it for it. His name is Xiaobai...

Xiaobai has large, quiet eyes. At first glance, he looks like a donkey with a mild temper. Lou Xiaoyi likes it very much.

Everyone is preparing, preparing food and clothing. Unlike the gobi desert, there is no need to prepare too much water, because the mountains and springs are constantly flowing along the way, and when you enter the deep mountains, the snow is white all year round, so let alone Need it.

Businessmen each have dozens of donkeys, as few as seven or eight donkeys. While carrying goods, these daily necessities are naturally nothing difficult; travelers are different, they ride on their own Some donkeys are sitting on them, so they can’t carry too many things, so they need to follow a few more, like the family of four, three adults and one child, three donkeys to ride, and three other donkeys are hired to carry materials.

The leader of the caravan also asked Lou Xiaoyi to hire another one, but he refused. He had a storage ring and was more prepared than anyone else. He just symbolically rolled a bag and placed it on Xiaobai; the leader I didn’t persuade me much. I’m such a big person. The stakes are clearly stated. If I’m so self-willed, I’m asking for it. If I don’t want to spend any money, I can only buy it at a high price. Here, Shining Night’s Young Master, no one can take seriously.

The straight-line distance is only a thousand miles across Congling, but it is impossible to walk straight like the Gobi, and steep places need to be avoided. Therefore, it is not new to walk three hundred miles out of a hundred miles, just up and down. Under normal circumstances, this trip will be half of the month, more or less, depending on whether God’s eyes are open, the dangers are also present, there are landslides, avalanches, and wild beasts. The attack, of course, must be a disaster; this is why must be guided by the indigenous mountain people to open up the business way. They have inextricably linked with the mountain bandits, and they are inseparable. In a word, business way is all the way to buy. The past, not the past!

The first ten days are very smooth, the terrain is not high, and it can't be called steep, and there are roads to be found. The donkeys walked very happily, maintaining the speed of one hundred miles a day. .

Lou Xiaoyi looked at this grass donkey very pleasing to the eye, ten days later, this grass donkey looked at him also pleasing to the eye, because it feels that the owner is very light this time, so light that it doesn’t feel much burden. , And this time, the owner will give it extra meals after every night of food hunting. A carrot and a piece of bean cake are what it loves to eat...

The mountain donkey does not need to be fed, every day After camping, they will go to find food, grass, rhizomes, melons and fruits. This is why Guo Congling must rely on them.

Ten days later, the mountain roads became rugged and steep, and there were no existing roads at all. Many places had to rely on guides to conduct field surveys before walking. This is because of the harsh weather on the mountains and the erosion of mountain torrents. , The collapse of mud and rock,

There are four or five guides, all of them are very experienced aboriginal mountain people, and there are more than a dozen guards, all of them are brave men and hunters among the mountain people. , Samurai is not popular here, because martial skill is not important here, what is important is the viability of the mountain.

The guide is in front, the bodyguards are interspersed in the whole team, the last two guards are in the bottom, a few travelers are arranged in the second half of the team, including the family of four, including Lou Xiaoyi, and one A middle age person who looks like an official and his personal attendant.

He doesn’t really understand the public security situation in this world. Even though he has been in Popular City for many years, he has not really integrated into the life of the low-level people. Although Lou Residence is not in power, he It can dispel most of the malice for him; not to mention that this is not Shining Night, but Da Yue, a country in this world that is famous for wars and frequent dynasties.
