Chapter 885 (1/2)
Zhu DAHAO merchant wanted to please Chen ang and others and hurried the caravan's journey. However, two days later, he passed the important pass of the state of Qin at the junction with the state of Yiqu. After leaving the pass, the world suddenly opened and vast, with white grass lying on the ground, frost and snow falling on the ground. The road out of the business trip had already been covered by heavy snow, even hard to distinguish, Is it still on the right path.
There is a vast expanse of white between heaven and earth. There is no direction. The mountains in the sky rise and fall, winding like dragons. The caravan trudges hard in the snow field, covered with snow on the ankles, making it more difficult to identify the road.
Those who walk behind have to follow the footprints of those who explore the way in front. A huge team of thousands of people melt the snow and make the road muddy. If they step on the melted snow, even if they have good felt boots, they should get wet. Along the way, dozens of people have been frostbitten.
Thanks to Zhu DAHAO's great talent, he divided the caravan of thousands of people into several teams. Several capable guys were used as vanguards to explore the way and find the right way. There was also a front team who walked half a day in advance to find a flat and suitable place close to the water source, find grassland and establish a camp. The squadron drove cattle and horses, so they could walk half a day and stop to study and camp for an hour, There are also rear teams to accommodate the old, weak and frozen wounded who fall behind.
Chen ang and Zhu DAHAO were in the last team of the squadron.
Although Wukong came to China from Aolai country in the East China Sea and had a wide range of knowledge, he often saw overseas wonders and separated from many sea island countries, but he came to the Northwest Plateau of southern Europe in the future. The thousands of miles of wilderness provided a magnificent scenery without human habitation. There were also some novelty and rarity. The caravan passed by many camps of dog soldiers, which were abandoned.
The young man surnamed Zhu smiled and said: ”The customs of the Hu people in Xirong are very different from those in China. They live as nomads and chase water and grass. Such a camp can only be used for two months in spring and summer every year. They have to prepare for migration in autumn. Now they should have migrated to the south. However, the gunrong people have also learned from China's central soil about farming and farming. Their national capital, Yiqu, also has farmland, so they can support the nobles in the city to settle down, Instead of nomadism, we can see it after walking for half a month! ”
Wukong said with a smile, ”I've seen several places with fertile soil and abundant water on the road. There must be a reason why Yiqu people would rather waste long grass than cultivate.”
The young man surnamed Zhu said proudly, ”that's nature. They cultivated the land well. Didn't they provoke us old Qin people to rob it? In the past, doctor bailixi conquered the twelve cities of Yiqu, which was supported by farming. Since then, the dog Rong people of Yiqu have also learned that every man is innocent and cherishes his sin!”
”But what if those Hu people abandon farming and herd? This great land will belong to us Qin people sooner or later!”
The young man is very proud of this. He is very respectful to Lao Tzu Chen ang and often asks for advice. He is even polite to Yin Xi all the time. However, he has no respect and is not very respectful in front of Wukong, but he can talk to Wukong more and seems more casual. Wukong has already seen the reason!
Most of these people have very important ideas about Chinese barbarians. They naturally respect Chen ang, Lao Tzu and Yin Xi. As for Nanman ”Maoren country” barbarians like Wukong, they look down on them and feel a lot at will.
Moreover, Lao Tzu Chen ang is a generation with great attainments in all kinds of truth and knowledge. In his speech, his free guidance is the truth of the supreme truth. Yin Xi learns the truth of morality and is also an important Minister of the Zhou Dynasty. He was born as a scholar official. His speech is also gentle, which is different from the wild and unrestrained temperament of Wukong.
