The team drove out of Curry slowly, this is the first time Yunze left Curry in spring.The grass spreads from the feet, the stream gurgles, and the snow-white sheep are grazing on the pasture. Have they been hungry for a long time?

The cherry blossoms have already sprouted, and they seem to want to use flowers to keep them and their party, but the sound of horseshoes is urgent, urging them to go far.

According to the current time, it happened to be early summer when they arrived at the port, and the repaired salt farm could test out the best results under the scorching sun.

This time, in addition to Yunze and Menis, Prince Sham's adjutant and the eldest son of the general sent by the king to assist him, Bayi, were also on the team.

Bai?At that time, Yunze thought of the "Avanti" series that the Curry people liked very much. In it, the fat, arrogant, stupid and greedy... anyway, he was the big villain landlord, named Bayi.

"You, do you know about Avanti?"

Yunze asked nonsense, who in Curry doesn't know the story of Avanti?As soon as Avanti was born, everyone was empty. Is the enthusiasm fake?I don’t know how many children born last year and this year were named Avanti. Their parents hoped that they would be as smart as Avanti.

Bayi, who has been teased countless times, smiled very gently: "I like the story of Avanti very much."

Bayi, who looks gentle and gentle, looks like a literati and a military adviser. I really didn't expect him to be a young general with a good temper, and he can calm down even when his name and the big villain collide.

The other in the carriage is Prince Sham's adjutant, a taciturn black-skinned man with a resolute appearance, the tough guy that many men yearn for.

As for the little boy who was one of the purposes of this trip, that is, the son of the island owner, he is now in the car on Amei's side. There are two female soldiers there, so the safety is also high.The kid was making trouble because the little girl he was with didn't want to walk with him.

The seven or eight-year-old child, while crying with snot in his nose, seriously said to another girl who was four or five years older, "I will come back to marry you in the future, you must wait for me", and then languished on the road.

And the little girl who was determined to stay said, 'You will forget me soon after you leave here, surrounded by food and clothes.I will not leave with you, I will stay here and work hard to become a female officer. ', although she did not shed tears, her eyes were red.

Children of this age, life really forces them to mature.

This trip is a 'travel by order', so they can go directly to the city magistrate for supplies along the way, and the size of the convoy is actually smaller than going to Green Cloud City.However, the entire carriage has been remodeled, with a little more space, thicker anti-vibration cushions, and two small flower windows for ventilation.The most important thing is that the car wall is changed to that special car wall.

It is a layer of wood, a layer of cowhide in the middle (isinglass as an adhesive), and another layer of wood. It is said that this kind of "three-ply board" can effectively prevent dark arrows from entering, and the cost is of course very expensive.

But the carriage was still shaking. After all, the road conditions were not good, and the wheels had no anti-vibration measures.Yunze misses the rubber tree very much. He wonders if there are any here, but he can't find it in the catalog.

The carriage they are riding in now is for daytime rest. It has a larger space, with soft seats, and a small card slot on the floor, which can fix a small low table, so it can also be used for office work.At night, if there is no B&B to stay temporarily, the long compartments for sleeping will come in handy.

This season is just right for traveling, there is no summer burning and mosquitoes, and it will not be so cold that you have to wrap yourself up like a bear to go out, and the heavy snow will easily block the caravan in the middle.

Of course, spring is not without its disadvantages, such as a higher proportion of hungry animals.

The convoy usually takes the avenue, and there are people on the avenue who stand far away, probably watching them and their party.Because it was too far away, Yunze couldn't see the expressions of those people, but judging from the way they dealt with it, it should be avoidance and fear.

It was the very hungry beasts that faced the difficulties without fear, and even one night they were attacked by a pack of wolves, injuring more than a dozen soldiers.Soldiers can occasionally eat meat, and their night blindness is not as severe as that of civilians, but at night, the home of wild beasts and being attacked by surprise, they are still at a disadvantage.

"They escaped. The wolves hold their grudges, I'm afraid this journey will not be safe." The leading soldier said, his brows were tightly frowned, and he seemed in a bad mood.The wounded soldiers got better after applying medicine, but after all they lost a lot of blood, Yunze decided to let them rest for a few days.There are also cars in the convoy prepared for such emergencies, but they have to be squeezed.

After that, the soldiers in the convoy became more cautious. During the night vigil, they used wood as barriers and placed copper bells.

The copper bell rang twice that day, but it was not known if it was a wolf.

This slightly tense atmosphere didn't dissipate until they entered the next city.

The city magistrate welcomed them warmly and replenished the supplies very efficiently.He also said that he would host a banquet to welcome them, but Yun Ze, the head of the team, refused.They slept in the city for one night, and at dawn the next day they left after breakfast.

On the road, I saw many farmers who were going to go out to cultivate, barefoot, with hoes on their shoulders, walking on the road in silence.When they saw the convoy from a distance, they avoided it, and when they saw the tall and burly soldiers, they knew that they should not be provoked.

Even those children didn't dare to approach them, and looked over timidly.

Yunze didn't even have the strength to sigh.Shaking all the way, taking a break, shaking all the way again, this is his daily routine now.In the beginning, I still had the energy to chat and laugh with people, and to look at the scenery outside, but now it’s—sleep.

The scenery along this road is very primitive and natural. After looking at it for a long time, I feel blind. I always feel that the scenery is almost as if I have seen it not long ago.

And the food on the road is naturally not as refined as at home.There is no requirement for this Yunze, on the road, he can survive with clean water and bread.But sitting in the carriage shaking not long after eating, this is really bad for the stomach.

Why didn't the earthquake shake so hard when we went to Green Cloud City?Because of snow?

Later, Yunze called out his white horse, and replaced it with a simple and low-key saddle. He put on a cloak and covered it tightly, and rode forward all the way.

This time, he seemed to be able to feel the beauty of 'today's weather is so sunny and beautiful everywhere' - mainly because the horse is good, there is no sense of bumps, and the air outside is relatively fresh.

They walked all morning and stopped by a flowing stream at noon.Stagnant water may contain deadly bacteria, so they generally choose places with flowing water sources to suspend, which is convenient for fetching water and hunting.

They often see small animals appearing and disappearing by the stream, but not every time they can hunt them.This time they were lucky, and they caught three wild ducks, some fish, and a few duck eggs.

The soldiers set up a stove with stones on the spot, and began to cook soup and bake food, while Yunze was slicing fish and spreading spices on the side.

There is nothing special about going out. Menis is smashing garlic cloves with pebbles, and the major general named Bayi is still scalding and plucking ducks. Except for the youngest child who is watching eagerly, everyone else is busy with work.

Seeing that he was bored, Amei poured him a cup of batter and milk powder soaked in hot water: "Eat first to fill your stomach."

Several maids were going to wash the dirty clothes accumulated by the soldiers before, and wring them out to dry.The clothes are to be hung on racks that can be attached to the car and rocked all the way until dry.

In fact, other teams are not so troublesome. Except for those with high status, other people don't change clothes frequently, and a set of clothes can be worn until it turns black.And often wash, the fabric is easy to be damaged, and they don't often change clothes at home.But who said that there are two clean freaks in the team of this mission?

Their requirement is to take a bath and change clothes once every five days.

The maids now wash their clothes with a laundry soap, which is clean, fast, and less damaging to the fabric.You must know that they used to beat their clothes with wooden sticks for cleaning.This is made from the broken fat of some animals. This time I went out, I brought a lot of household soaps for various purposes.

They were washing clothes while talking and laughing by the side of a relatively shallow stream without many aquatic plants.A soldier came over with grilled fish, the small ones were given to the two girls next to him, and the biggest, fattest and best grilled fish was given to Amei.

"Yo—" The maid holding the little fish winked at him, and he coughed, his face was dark, but it wasn't obvious if he was blushing.

Ah Mei generously took the grilled fish and took a bite: "You grilled it?"

"If you like, can I continue to grill fish for you?" said the young soldier.

Ah Mei looked at the fish, and then at him: "Then let's see if your grilled fish has always been so delicious."

The soldier got permission, and returned to the ranks of soldiers with a happy face. His companions booed him and even sang the love song of Taixi men chasing their wives.

"Amei has also reached the age of marriage." Yun Ze held his face, he felt that he was still very young, but the people around him had already fallen in love one by one.If they had children later, that feeling of passing years would be even stronger.

Meinis thought he was worried that the new maid would not go well, and said with a smile: "Even if Amei gets married, she will still work at home. Even if she is not at home, the new maid will take over well."

"It's not for this. More and more people are working for me now, and I'm thinking about how to arrange for their children."

Menis was stunned, he knew that Yunze cared about the lives of his subordinates, asked them to repair houses, and introduced them to the opposite sex, but he didn't expect that he would be responsible for the children now?Those kids... don't they learn from their parents?

Menis couldn't help but began to reflect that many of his subordinates were inherited from father and son, mother and daughter.Because they are brought by their parents, and they have followed them since childhood, their children generally have good abilities after they come out, so most people default to this kind of family inheritance.

"How does His Highness want to arrange it?" He asked.

"Placement? Not really," Yunze smiled. "It's just that each child has different ideas. Some want to inherit the family business, and some want to try other things. Gather them together and give it a try. Whatever you like to do, do your best in the future.”

Menis couldn't help thinking of how much he rejected becoming a priest when he was a child, and how he would deliberately fail to do his homework well.But after experiencing betrayal and traveling outside for three years, he realized that becoming a priest was the shortest way to his destination.

"This is a very good idea. If His Highness is doing this kind of thing, can the children of my subordinates join in?"

"of course can."

After eating at noon, some clean water was replenished, and they set off again.

When Yunze returned to the big carriage, Bayi and the others were playing chess, a kind of chess in Taixi. The chess pieces are small wooden sticks with very abstract animal patterns on the top of the small wooden sticks. Each pattern has different functions and moves.The chessboard is a wooden board with many small holes, and the wooden board is painted and very delicate.

Bayi looked smiling, but his moves were swift and resolute. Although the dark-faced man on the opposite side had been expressionless, he was staring at the chessboard for longer and longer, apparently cornered.

Yunze was holding his water bag in his hand, watching while drinking, but he couldn't really understand it.

Menis is also very good at this kind of chess, Yunze rarely wins in his hands.But when playing flying chess that Yunze figured out by himself, Menis seldom wins.

On the other side, the game is finally over, and it is no surprise that Bayi wins.Yunze asked someone to dig out his chess box from a certain suitcase. In addition to flying chess, there were backgammon and chess in it.

He took out flying chess: "How about we play this?" It happens that four people can play.

When you focus on doing one thing, time always passes quickly, and it's night in a blink of an eye.

But they didn't reach any cities, and there were no villages nearby. It still looked like a very primitive wasteland, with grassland, sparse trees, rocks, and some small puddles.

At this time it started to rain.

Taixi has a lot of rain in spring and autumn. It is not the first time they have encountered rain, but now the environment is really not friendly, there is not even a safe back, and there is a group of drowned chickens in the open place.

The well-trained soldiers quickly cut down the trees and set up a few simple triangular tents, that is, three wooden frames were built, and then covered with cowhide.They roasted a little fire, and surrounded Yunze and the others and the goods in the middle.

They set some traps around them, with wooden fences and brass bells.

Yunze was lying in the carriage, but he couldn't fall asleep, he didn't know why, he was a little uneasy.

Suddenly he heard the sound of copper bells, mixed in the rain, a little unreal, but he could hear the roar of the soldiers clearly.

"Take your weapons, wolf attack!"
