Chapter 19 Caravan
Chapter 19Caravan
Xia Yun became the horse pothead of this caravan.With the wealth of the Xia family, she does not need a girl to support the family.

The former horse pothead Xia Ren'an was the father of Xia Yun.

The Xia family was a well-known big family in Xiangzhou Mansion of the Great Chu State. Although Xia Ren'an's father was only a distant side branch and had a single family in Sunset City, he was also a well-known family.

Xia Ren'an is the only seedling in the family, and his father wishes him a safe life.He has been urging him to study and limit his time to practice martial arts.

But things backfired. Although Xia Ren'an was both civil and military, he also achieved the reputation of being a scholar.But by nature, he likes adventure and advocates chivalry and righteousness.

After his parents died, no one could take care of him anymore.Although his wife and children were still a concern, they were no longer enough to hold him down.

Like a wild horse off the reins, he joined a caravan walking in the tea-horse trade.

Although there is also the meaning of raising a family, but more of it is free to play everywhere.

The Xia family was a large immortal family in ancient times.According to the genealogy records, its first ancestor was named Xia Yuyi, who founded the Xia Dynasty and was considered a famous figure in history.

Xia Ren'an's great-grandfather, because several generations of descendants did not have spiritual roots, was separated from the main family and came to Sunset City from Xiangzhou Prefecture.

When he left, the patriarch still gave him a copy of the basic cultivation technique as a family heirloom.

In Sunset City, Xia Ren'an has been passed down for three generations, and there is still no spiritual root in the descendants.

Xia Ren'an has a daughter and a son, the son still has no spiritual root, but the eldest daughter Xia Yun is the owner of the spiritual root.

Xia Yun belongs to the category of cultivation geniuses. She was less than 12 years old, and with a single cultivation method, she has reached the fourth level of Qi training without a teacher.It is enough to protect the safety of the family, which is why Xia Renan is at ease in taking risks.

Xia Ren'an is both civil and military, heroic and righteous.Soon he became the head of the horse caravan and won the support of the horse drivers.

He led the caravan on a journey again, and he thought about sending his daughter to the Xiangzhou Prefecture Master's house for training this time, so as not to delay her daughter's practice.

The difficulties and dangers of the tea-horse trade route are extraordinary, and every trip is an experience of life and death.I don't know how many horse drivers and horse potheads abandoned their corpses in the wilderness and died in foreign countries.

In the end, Xia Ren'an did not escape the fate of most horse drivers. In the southwest prairie, he was attacked by the largest local horse bandits with poisoned arrows and died of poisoning.

Xia Yun went to the caravan alone to deal with her father's funeral. The caravan was fighting for the horse pot head, and no one paid attention to her affairs.

Xia Yun took action angrily, using her strength at the fourth level of Qi refining to deal with the martial masters in the world.

Although many men in the caravan looked ugly, they were completely convinced in their hearts.

The man in the caravan was also a bachelor, and his words were even more consistent. Xia Yun took over the caravan smoothly.

When Xia Yun took over, those big men were very embarrassed. After all, a little girl was the boss, which brought out the incompetence of these men.

They couldn't hold their heads up in front of other caravans, and some people who couldn't stand it left the caravan to join other caravans.

The caravan led by Xia Yun's strength dropped sharply for a while, but the ones who stayed were all elites, who abide by the rules and obey the scheduling.

Xia Yun handles things in an orderly manner and has a father-like demeanor.It's even more delicate.The caravan personnel cooperated closely, and they walked down several times without any danger.

Xia Yun slowly won the sincere support of the entire caravan, and many new people joined.

Even when the people who had quit came back, Xia Yun always refused to come, which moved them very much.

Although Xia Yun was young, she was full of ideas.On the surface, she was in charge of the caravan to make a living, but in fact she waited for the enemy to come to the door, and then looked for an opportunity to avenge her father.

Soon, Xia Yun had been in charge of the caravan for more than two years. She was already 14 years old, and her cultivation had also broken through from the fourth level of Qi refining to the seventh level of Qi refining.She has gradually gained a good reputation in the tea-horse business, but her enemies still haven't come to her.

There are many people coming from caravans, and the languages ​​vary from place to place. Everyone came together and developed a lot of "jargon".

For example, eating lunch is called "Kai Shao", the usual campsite is called "Wozi", and camping in the wild is called "Kai Liang".

Caravans are on the road, and most of the time they live a life of camping and camping.

As soon as the sun rises, they have to get up and retrieve the mules and horses, feed them, and then go on the pack.

At noon, "open the tip", that is, according to the number of roads on the grassland, make a butter tea, knead a little tsampa and eat it.

When it gets dark, the caravans have to try their best to get to the "wozi" they have to reach, which is a convenient and relatively safe place for cooking.

It is only when they arrive at the "wozi" that they will bury the gongs and cook the rice, unload the packs, and set up tents before dark.

No matter who it is, whoever accidentally commits a taboo, will be scolded, pay a guest, and be expelled from the caravan.

Xia Yun took the trouble to introduce various taboos to Piao Piao, because she was afraid that he would accidentally break the taboo and be expelled from the caravan.

Caravans are strictly managed, somewhat similar to the army.

The caravan used gongs to transmit information, similar to the army's golden drum and horn.There are also rules for knocking gongs, and different knocking methods represent different meanings.

In the deep mountains and jungles, the gong also has the function of frightening birds and beasts, and also notifying the opposite and rear caravans.

The caravan is a collective, but it is also a temporary small "society". They are often far away from people, and all work depends entirely on the division of labor and cooperation among internal horse drivers.

Therefore, every horse driver must have the ability and ability that ordinary people do not have.

Among them, there must be someone who understands the four seasons, weather changes, and someone who can identify directions and roads.There must also be an interpreter who is proficient in the languages ​​of various ethnic groups.

There are many skills required by caravans, such as reckoning and recognizing goods, paying accounts and cooking, chopping firewood and making fire, identifying wild vegetables and fruits, loading and unloading, nailing and repairing palms, finding grass and feeding, and even medical treatment of people and animals.

Caravans are a group of commercial operations, but they also have their own independent businesses. The various operating expenses of the caravans, which are taken from the horse drivers, are all tapped according to the size of the business.

In the temporary small "society" of caravans, Maguotou assumed the role of managers, while other horse drivers played the role of taxpayers.

Maguotou's pot is not so easy to carry. Although it is the biggest beneficiary of the "tax" of the caravan, it also bears the greatest risk and fulfills the greatest responsibility.

Therefore, whether the relationship between the horse driver and the horse pot head is harmonious and close, and whether the actions are easy to coordinate, determines the benefit and fate of the caravan to a certain extent.

The caravan turned on again, Piao Piao habitually let go of her consciousness, and found a cavalry team of hundreds of people hundreds of miles away. It seems that Xia Yun's enemy is coming!
