Chapter 1143 The rain-seeking team
"Uncle, are you going to ride a horse this time in Haizhou?" Yuan Bao looked at Xu Chongjie and pointed to his big black horse.

Xu Chongjie nodded: "It's more convenient this way. The carriage is full of women and it's not suitable for me to sit in it."

More importantly, he really didn't like being in a carriage. It was more comfortable being on horseback than swinging around.

Yuan Bao turned his head and jumped off the carriage, turned over and rode on Xiao Hong's sweaty horse, and rode together with Xu Chongjie. Of course, he did not forget to say bad things about Li Xiaoman and Miao. These two people talked too much when they were together. .

Very noisy!
Xu Chongjie still didn't believe there was such a noise, and then he saw Leng Shuangqiuyu also getting out. One was riding another horse, and the other simply sat on the top of the carriage and was at ease. Anyway, he was not in the carriage, so he was naturally in a very happy mood. comfortable.

Seeing this, Xu Chongjie had nothing to say.

The group traveled for seven or eight days to pass Pingzhou, and then walked for another five or six days to Haizhou, the city where the trade fair was held.

Although the fair was held by the Confucian Merchants Association in Pingzhou, it had always been held at the fair. The reason was simply because Haizhou was the largest port in the Daan Dynasty, and there were merchants from all walks of life here, from the Western Regions and other countries. , and even those blond and blue-eyed weirdos in overseas legends. They always have something strange in their hands that they can sell at the fair.

Therefore, every three years, Confucian businessmen from all over the world gather together in Haizhou.

Yuan Bao stopped and walked along the way and met the Qin family's carriage.

When I saw the Qin family before, they had tall horses and gilded chariots.

Now I see the Qin family, but it is a small carriage, very cramped. It is estimated that there is only Qin Yuyan inside. Even if there are gangsters on the road, no one will rob it, which shows how low the Qin family has fallen now.

It was very quiet along the way. Everyone was talking and laughing. They were all tired. Even Yuanbao got into the carriage and fell asleep in Miao's arms.

Suddenly, the carriage stopped, and the hard brakes shook Yuan Bao awake. She rubbed her sleepy eyes and lifted the curtain.

"what happened?"

"Miss, look." Leng Shuang pointed forward.

Yuan Bao followed his gaze and found a pair of long noisy teams approaching from the front of the carriage. The men at the head were carrying a huge pig's head on a wooden pole, followed by dozens of men, women, and children.

"They are..." Yuanbao is young and doesn't understand many things.

Miao glanced at it and sighed: "This is asking for rain! I didn't expect that our Da'an Dynasty would usher in another famine. Three days' walk ahead is Haizhou, right? It seems that the situation here in Haizhou is It’s very bad, I’m afraid there will be a drought.”

Yuan Bao thought of the refugees he met at the ruined temple on the road when he went to Pingzhou in midsummer. They seemed to be people from the seaside. They didn't know what they could and couldn't eat inland. It’s Haizhou. The situation hasn’t eased yet?

Looking at the huge team praying for rain in front of him, Yuan Bao immediately said: "Leng Shuang, move the carriage out of the way. When they pass, we will rush to Haizhou and speed up the journey. Now there are so many people fleeing the famine. If there are too many things, it will be bad if there is a dispute."

Hungry people can do anything. Once the refugees running away from famine have no way to survive, and they have such good carriages and horses, they may cause trouble.

Yuanbao's idea happened to be the same as that of Leng Shuangqiuyu, Xu Chongjie and others. When going out, even a strong dragon must not go against the local snakes.
