Chapter 518: Caravan of Cattle and Sheep
"Then I have to make it clear to you that the sugarcane I want to purchase is conditional."
Xu Yuan briefly explained the planting conditions to Ye Qiuer, and they just had to wait for the snow to melt in the spring of next year and for the wild sugarcane stalks to grow again before cultivating the sugarcane again.
Ye Qiuer listened carefully, not missing any details.
On this side, Xu Yuan and Ye Qiuer were discussing things, while on the other side, Ye Maner and Xu Zhi had already started chatting about sewing cross-body bags, while Manyu Heguozi and Ye Donger were talking about the martial arts they had learned during this period. In short, everyone had their own things to do and it was not boring at all.
When they had finished chatting, everyone went back to their rooms for a nap.
Xuyuan planned to stay here for one night and leave the next day.
……
On the other side, after Gu Qinghan returned to the cave, he saw Li Junyong had been waiting in the cave for a long time, wandering around inside.
Seeing that Gu Qinghan was safe and sound, and looked very energetic except for some scratches on his face, Li Junyong had nothing to worry about.
"Has everyone been rescued?" Gu Qinghan said as he walked towards the cave entrance.
"Well, thanks to my wish, they were all rescued in time. They are all recuperating now."
Li Junyong replied, but in their eyes Gu Qing still hadn't been found. Everyone had been busy all night, but they were still very anxious. Li Junyong saw it and muttered, "Maybe Qinghan is not in there and has escaped." But even so, no one believed it and still didn't stop. He had to give up. After all, if it were him, without the help of the magical power of wishing, he would not be as calm as he is now.
When Gu Qinghan appeared intact at the bottom of the collapsed snow mountain, the people who were still shoveling soil carefully from the edge were shocked.
"Oh, Qinghan, you're okay! That's great." Luo Xiqing exclaimed.
"How come you two met by chance?"
"Yes, we just happened to meet. It was also a coincidence. I escaped in time. I didn't know which direction I was rushed to in a daze. I had to run down the hill and escape from here. I hid in a cave and rested for the night." Gu Qinghan lied without changing his expression.
"Qinghan, are you okay?" Lu Zishi heard the noise here and walked over from another direction, just in time to hear what Gu Qinghan said.
Gu Qinghan shook his head.
"My God, you managed to escape from such a dangerous situation. You will surely have good fortune in the future." The soldier beside Luo Xiqing sighed after hearing this.
Fortunately, all the people who were trapped under the snow were very close to the edge of the area and not very close to the inside, so their snow shoveling actions would not cause a secondary landslide. Gu Qinghan had already returned, and everyone stopped the work at hand and went into the tent to warm themselves.
Apart from the raging fire in the tent, the only thing left was the smell of Chinese herbal medicine.
When the soldier in charge saw Gu Qinghan come back, he hurriedly asked the doctor beside him to check on Gu Qinghan. Gu Qinghan was a man of real talent and knowledge, and he couldn't get into any trouble easily.
The soldiers, who had been busy all night, rested here for a while and then became busy again. They packed up the tents and bags they had set up and returned to the barracks.
……
An Siguo
At this time, a crackling sound came from a palace.
There was a large pool of blood on the floor of the hall. Next to it was a disfigured body lying on the ground, covered with densely packed small snakes that were tearing the corpse apart. On the other side were piles of tattered porcelain bowls. Every time a jar was smashed, densely packed insects would emerge from it and crawl on the ground.
The palace maids at the back didn't dare to breathe and kept their heads down.
Dona, who was sitting in the main hall, had a distorted and sinister look on her face. She kept picking up the bottles and jars on the table and smashing them.
She thought it was going to succeed, but suddenly an old acquaintance appeared, and he was quite capable. Why did God treat her like this?
However, looking at the densely packed insects below, Dona changed her mind, raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and had another idea.
……
Half a month later, spring arrived and the snow began to melt gradually. The freezing winter passed quietly and the temperature became warmer. Green sprouts emerged on the snowy ground. The forest became lively and the sound of birds could be heard one after another.
A large number of cattle and sheep arrived at the most important checkpoint of the Dawei Kingdom through special channels.
The soldiers stationed in Quanxiu Town at that time had been idle for a long time. Since the battle, there had been no more attacks from the Ansi Kingdom, but the soldiers stationed here did not relax their vigilance. In addition to defense, they also trained hard every day.
This large group of cattle and sheep suddenly appeared at the border crossing, walking and pulling, bringing with them the smell of grassland.
The leading soldier pinched his nose, first checked the booklets handed over by those people, and then sent people to carefully check the convoy. This was a cargo caravan from the Aso country. After verifying their identities, they were let in.
Today is the first market day in Quanxiu Town after the beginning of spring. All kinds of stalls are set up on the street. The lively atmosphere is far different from the oppressive vigilance of the past period of time. The caravans providing cattle and sheep will gather in one place, distribute the goods, and then send them to various places after several twists and turns.
With the goods here, the residents living in Quanxiu Town would naturally not miss this opportunity. The streets began to become crowded with people, and the familiar sounds of hawking echoed in the streets.
"Look how good this is, why fight a war?"
Gu Qinghan and Li Junyong, who had a rare day off today, also came to the busy street. Li Junyong looked at the people coming and going on the street and sighed.
Both of them disguised themselves slightly to hide their conspicuous features, and they were not noticeable at all standing in the crowd.
In addition to ordinary civilians, there are soldiers patrolling the streets from time to time.
Gu Qinghan did not respond to Li Junyong's words. He set his eyes on a crowded place not far away and walked towards that place.
Seeing this, Li Junyong also became curious and followed Gu Qinghan forward.
After walking through the crowd, Gu Qinghan stopped and finally saw clearly why these people gathered there. The noise of the crowd drowned out the cries of the cattle and sheep. When he got closer, he could even smell the unique smell of the cattle and sheep.
Gu Qinghan couldn't help but frown.
Li Junyong stood beside Gu Qinghan and saw the scene in front of him clearly. He couldn't help but admire it.
There are so many cattle and sheep, big and small, of all kinds. Under normal circumstances, I have never seen so many cattle and sheep.
Alas, it’s a pity that I have no money.
It’s a pity for Li Junyong.
"Let's go." Gu Qinghan didn't have much money on hand, so there was no point in looking at it, and the smell wasn't very pleasant either.
