The Heavens: A Qing, the Yue Girl at the beginning

Chapter 61 The Duanmu Family Caravan

The journey to Chongquanyi is about [-] to [-] miles. The mountain road is rugged, and the cattle pulling the cart need time to rest, so they can only travel about [-] to [-] miles a day.

The road on which vehicles drive is actually built on a high ground next to a river among the mountains.The stream beside Zhao's house in the barren village is one of the tributaries of this river.

Along the way, Zhao Qing was not always the "driver" who drove the car, and Mr. Yuan also participated in it for quite a while.

In fact, with its wingspan of more than two meters and its strength of over a thousand catties, driving a scalper is a piece of cake. It is quite easy to pull a cart instead of a scalper.

Of course, as a friend and guest of Zhao Qing's family, he must not treat it as an ordinary animal.Mr. Ape helped drive the car because of his active nature, and when he was bored, he just played for fun.

Ruixi was also taken aback when the great white ape brought back by her daughter had intelligence, could communicate with people and drive vehicles, and suspected that it was a spirited monster.

But when she saw Mr. Yuan went out to find some melons and fruits to share when he was camping at night, she let go of her guard.

In her opinion, Zhao Qing is much more knowledgeable than herself, so she should not be deceived by villains.After seeing a lot of Mr. Yuan's behavior, Ruixi gradually got used to its existence, and regarded Mr. Yuan as a special "person".

Along the mountain road on the high ground beside the valley, the ox cart drove like this for twelve days.

The width of the roadside river was about 30 meters at first. As the journey got farther and farther, more and more tributaries flowed into the river. The width of the river channel exceeded [-] meters, and the water was mighty.

Along the way, Zhao Qing watched from afar the farmers working shirtless in the rice fields, the spectacular waterfalls formed when the river dropped, and the roe deer drinking and the crocodiles looking for food by the river.

And farther away, towering mountains with a height of thousands of meters or even tens of thousands of meters can be faintly seen in the clouds and mist.When the sun rises and sets, it casts a vast and endless shadow.

According to common sense, there should be many spirit beasts and monsters in the Kuaiji mountains stretching for tens of thousands of miles, but Zhao Qing and the others did not encounter them.

This is also a very normal thing. If "monsters" often appear on the road, the traffic on both sides will not be affected.

The so-called spirits and monsters are born with strengths superior to ordinary warriors, and even after self-cultivation, many of them have the ability to fight against human cultivators in the Six Qi Realm.

However, since Dayu ruled Kyushu, many great monsters comparable to the upper six qi realms have been exterminated and punished, and weaker spirits have been hiding and hiding, and very few dared to invade the territory of the human race.Today, regardless of Yixia, they are all respected by the human race.

As for the intelligent white apes like Yuangong, who are accompanied by human beings, they are generally not regarded as monsters.

For three generations, spirit horses, spirit eagles and other spirit beasts with the blood of the demon clan have participated in the wars among the various kingdoms of China, and have gradually integrated into human society.

……

On the 13th day, the river on the side of the road began to gradually calm down, and after a few hundred miles, it would become a tributary and flow into the Ruoxie River.

The surrounding mountains also began to become lower and sparser, and a stretch of plains appeared on the edge of the river valley, and many houses could be seen in settlements.

The mountain road for driving is no longer a lonely one, but there are also other roads that intersect with it.In the farmland area not far away, the rice paddies are criss-crossed, and there are chickens and dogs wandering among the field stalks.

When the sun was rising, Zhao Qing stopped the bullock cart near a road intersection.

She took out a piece of dried dried meat from the carriage, soaked it in an earthen jar filled with water for a while, and then used her internal energy to heat it up, making it the staple food at noon today.

After practicing for more than ten days, she has already completed the part of the eight extraordinary meridians in her Shenzhao Kung Fu, and around tonight, she will be able to break through the barrier of Ren Du's communication again.

With the internal strength of Shenzhao Gong, which has a yang-oriented attribute, plus Zhao Qing's understanding of Xuantian finger turning water into ice, heating food is only the most basic operation, even boiling cold water only takes a little more time.

Therefore, the effectiveness of the method of inner strength and qi refining is still very strong.In addition to being able to be used for force, it also greatly facilitates daily life.

In addition, although ordinary people in this era eat two meals a day, Zhao Qing, who is used to living in the previous life, still prefers three meals a day.If conditions permit, she still likes to eat something at noon.

Just as Zhao Qing was sitting in the front of the car, chewing the jerky, suddenly there was the sound of a large number of vehicles galloping in the distance.Judging from the sound, these vehicles were quite heavy, obviously carrying a lot of cargo, but they were traveling very fast.

She turned her head to look, and saw dozens of large carts speeding past on the driveway in the distance, and the fast horses pulling the carts galloped like the wind, bringing up countless flying dust.

As a world with an area much larger than the ancient world of the previous life, the total number of horses in the main world is obviously relatively small, but in fact it is very large.Even so, the teams that can afford to use so many horses to pull the carts are likely to be either rich or expensive, and they have a lot of background.

Concentrating his eyes, Zhao Qingyao recognized the words carved on the outside of the car, "The Duanmu clan, the business world".

The Duanmu family of the merchant is Zi Gong, the Duanmu gifted by Duanmu?It is estimated that nine out of ten.Zhao Qing made a judgment in his heart.

Zi Gong, born in a businessman, was one of the main disciples of Confucius. He served as the prime minister of Lu and Wei.Uncle Sun Wu, one of the three Huans of the State of Lu, commented on him as "Zigong is better than Zhongni".

Although it is said that Zigong's business is mainly in the area of ​​Lu State, Zhao Qing is not surprised if he also has trade in Yue State. The economy of the land is well documented.

The reason why she could recognize the origin of the Duanmu family was not just relying on the historical common sense known in her previous life.

In fact, when Zhao Qing was in the world of Liancheng Jue, while reading Buddhist and Taoist classics, he also inquired a lot of historical materials about the Spring and Autumn Period.

Although the histories of the two worlds may not necessarily match, after all, there is a huge difference in terms of force; the historical data may not be true, and may have been altered by literati in successive dynasties, but they can also be used as a reference.

Watching the vehicles of the Duanmu family's caravan gradually go away, Zhao Qing put away the tableware he had just used and started driving the ox cart again.

The ape man jumped off the roof of the car and rode on the back of the ox, chewing a bunch of beans, which he might have just picked from the nearby field.

The distance to Chungquan Township is already very close. Looking from a distance along the direction of the river valley, you can see the vague outline of the city, and you can probably arrive at night.

According to Zhao Qing's understanding, Chungquan is a city with a population of 10,000+. It is not a big city in the Yue Kingdom, but because it is near Ruoxie River and has convenient transportation, it can be considered a bit prosperous and has many businesses.

Just like just now, the Duanmu family's caravan was heading towards Chongquan.
