Hoho-!
Just as they were talking, a loud sound suddenly came from the depths of the forest. The long sound lingered in the vast ancient forest. He looked up and saw that the caravan was gone. Ah Tao and Yi Shen subconsciously quickened their pace. After a while, a bright light appeared at the end of their line of sight. In the light circle stood a big tree. This was the Ironwood King that the adults usually referred to! He heard from the lord that the caravan would be halfway through their journey once they reached the Iron Tree King. People were happy to take the cool and clear spring under the big iron tree as an ideal place to rest.
At that moment, the caravan was resting under the shade of a tree. The horse was eating, the man was eating-it was already noon, probably breakfast and lunch together! Ah Tao and Yi Shen both used their face cloths to block the sun as they approached the ironwood tree one after another. Standing still, Ah Tao imitated a local dialect and asked,"
Which stockade are you from?
Everyone was busy eating and did not even look up at them. Among them, one of them said casually while eating,
Does it matter to the two of you which stockade we belong to?
How was it not important? Bandits have always roamed this place. What if the two of us are bandit scouts? Aren't you afraid of robbing us?
When everyone heard the word bandits, they stood up with a shout. She looked at the two of them warily. Some of them were chewing their rice while assuming a fighting stance.
At this moment, Ah Tao and Yi Shen burst into laughter at the same time. Ah Tao lifted his veil and revealed his true form.
Whoosh! It's you, Ah Tao! You really scared us! Nong Shaoxing, the village chief, came up to him and said,"I heard the voice just now. It sounded a little familiar. Of course, it was a little strange." So, you're putting on a dragon's gate array. He looked at Yi Shen, who was standing beside Ah Tao, and said, Sigh! Who is this brother?
Yi Shen lifted his veil. He said,"It's me, station chief!"
Oh! It's you, Yi Shen! I really couldn't recognize you when you were disguised as a man! Nong Shaoxing shouted,"Everyone, come and see. We have a Hua Mulan!" In ancient times, Hua Mulan disguised herself as a man and joined the army on behalf of her father. Today, Hua Mulan from our village is joining our caravan!
Everyone gathered around curiously, laughing and talking. It was a lively scene. Ah Tao's brother Ah Mao (Gan Zu) and Yi Shen's sister Yi Xiao also came forward to welcome them.
Who asked you to come? Ah Mao said while staring at Ah Tao's face.
I wanted to come. Ah Tao replied calmly.
Do you think you can take advantage of this industry? I'd better read your book! Ah Mao said.
In the future, if I can't get into school, I'll have to join a horse caravan. Now, I'm no longer a child. I have to learn!
Ah Mao knew Ah Tao's temper. Whatever he didn't know, he would concentrate on learning. No one could stop him. He could only stop snorting. At this moment, Yi Xiao said to Yi Shen," Yesterday, I insisted that I didn't want you to come. Why did you come? Who asked you to come? When he asked this question, Yi Xiao shot Ah Tao a glance.
Yi Shen quickly declared,"No one asked me to come. I came by myself."
The station chief interjected,"You have delicate skin and tender flesh. It's unworthy of you to join the caravan!"
Yi Xiao said, Yes!
Back then, when Hua Mulan fought in the army on behalf of her father, she could. Why can't I join the caravan?
Yi Xiao said, Good! Later on, when she lifted the chopping board onto the horse and helped the horse pass the spring water, everyone would see her ability! There's also Ah Tao. Everyone should also see his ability-empty talk is useless...
He had heard from the adults that the hardest part of carrying things to the county town was crossing the spring water. In the novel Water Margins, there were many tigers in Jingyang Gang, making it sad. The path to the Spring Hill was steep and small. It was very difficult for the horse to climb over with things on its back. The person had to support the horse by its side and climb up step by step. When they reached the top of the hill, they had to pull the horse beside it to control its pace. They had to move it down step by step. If they lost control, they would be overturned. Everything would be fine when they reached the bottom of the hill. From the bottom of the hill to the city, it was a 3-40 li road. It was flat and unobstructed...
Anyway, we're here to learn. Why are we afraid of watching? Everyone, wait and see! Ah Tao and Yi Shen said almost in unison.
In that case, have you two eaten? If he didn't eat, he wouldn't be able to pass his post! As the saying went, there was no such thing as three bowls! The village chief, who was experienced and knowledgeable, said with concern.
Yes-we brought bamboo rice and ate it on the way. Ah Tao said.
Wu! It seems that the two of you don't fight unprepared battles-you've long been prepared! -- What a match made in heaven! The station commander seemed to be talking to himself, but also to Ah Tao and Yi Shen.
Yi Shen said heartily: Tunchang! Don't spout nonsense!
Hey hey! Did I say something? The station chief asked everyone.
Everyone didn't say anything and just laughed knowingly. It made Yi Shen uncomfortable. His two cheeks were red like two camellas!
Hoho-! How was it? You've finally made it through, right? We passed…!
It was not easy for them to climb over the spring hill. When they reached the bottom of the post, they both looked back at the other men and horses who were being laid off and shouted proudly.
Just now before climbing up the post, Ah Tao and Yi Shen had loaded up three horses 'worth of goods, which had already made people speechless. When he was helping his horse across the sentry post, although Ah Mao and Yi Xiao were helping and taking care of the horse, Ah Tao and Yi Shen were the ones who provided the most basic strength. It was the first time they had joined the sect, and they had already performed so well, which made everyone sincerely admire them.
