Heroes of the Fantasy World

Chapter 179 Some Scenery

(2)

Living in a high-slope grassland and a place full of wilderness, although there is a sense of the vastness of the surrounding fields, in fact, people are faced with countless inconveniences in life, especially when the weather is not beautiful.

During the day, they are accompanied by horses, and they can move forward leisurely with whistles and enjoy the air full of weeds and wild flowers; at night, they have to fight wits and courage with the perilous nature. strenuous effort.

Under the extremely clear night sky, the most primitive dangers often lurk - hunger and cold are threats that many first-timers in the caravan must face.

In fact, within two days, the Lou family's caravan passed all the horse farms along the mountain road, and arrived at a place where there was no one for a hundred miles.There, they can only rely on each other.If any accident occurs that affects morale, it will inevitably cause the ranks to be scattered and mutiny may occur.This is the second problem they have to face - how to calm people's hearts.

Choosing to take the route of Mount Qunma is a helpless move. The original reason is to avoid all important official roads and passes, and successfully escape the pursuit of officers, soldiers and Taiping Taoists.But this group of horse mountain peaks are endless, and after turning over the high slope in front of them, people will often be greeted by another higher peak, making it impossible to see the end.

Between two high slopes that are far apart, there is a grassland with only slight undulations.There are no fields, pastures, woods, or homes around.Some only have boring green weeds and strong winds.Their men and horses are really tired, and they will camp in similar places to rest.

If there is only a strong wind in front of you, it is not a bad weather, but if the strong wind continues to howl until nightfall, it is usually followed by cold rain mixed with hail.Such a poor living environment is naturally not suitable for permanent residence, and it is no wonder that nomads have long been accustomed to making their homes around the world.

In normal times, it would only be artificially exaggerated as a soft and safe drizzle, but at this time it will become a "scourge" capable of hurting people and killing people.Driven by the strong wind, even if it is just ordinary raindrops, when they hit a person's face, they will cause a feeling like a needle prick.

The climate change is difficult to deal with, and many young men who have not experienced it are not even mature in the skills of keeping the campfire, which leads to many people staying up all night, and then continue on the road with fatigue and resentment the next day.Over time, all kinds of dissatisfaction will quietly accumulate in the caravan.

In the caravan, there was a mix of dragons and snakes, and there were all kinds of teachings and nine schools. It is not surprising that some servants have evil intentions, not to mention that they have suffered a lot along the way, and they didn't even have a penny except for a few bowls of clear soup and porridge. get it.

So, within a few days after leaving the racecourse in Qunma Town, a rumor began to spread among the caravan.

"I heard that Lou's family can't afford any money at all. If Miss Lou turns against us when we get to the place, who do we ask?"

"On this road, I haven't seen the face of that beautiful lady for several days in a row. People who don't know what's right and wrong think she slipped away by herself! Fortunately, my brother Han often goes in and out under Miss Lou's account, so I know a little bit. information."

"Anyway, we've already suffered. If she dares to break her promise? Don't blame the brothers for being unkind..."

Words like this that foreshadowed civil strife spread silently, and soon reached the ears of Lou Jinghua and others.At this time, if the daughter of Lou's family thinks of herself as noble and noble as before, it will inevitably cause irreversible consequences.But what no one thought was that for some reason, she did many seemingly unbelievable things to restore the confidence of everyone in the caravan.

One night, in a grassland on Mount Qunma, the Lou family caravan, which usually erected more than a dozen large tents, was unusual tonight. It only erected a few large tents, and the distance between them Get as close as possible to deal with the blustery nights.

And in this strong wind, there are still a few figures wandering between the tents.After a closer look, they found that the leader was actually the daughter of the Lou family!
Lou Jinghua ordered everyone to be gathered together so that she could visit and investigate everyone's situation as much as possible.She set off with only a few servants and a maid, and this time, she didn't even call Zhao Kuo along.

Every time she went to a tent, she offered her father's air-dried beef, mutton, and yogurt and other exquisite food with both hands, and sincerely toasted a glass of warm wine to her subordinates in each tent.

If she sees a young servant lying on the couch due to illness, she will even take off her brocade hat and mink fur to cover him, and then caress them with her warm pink jade hands. He gave comfort to his body, and before he left, he still called his maid to get more clothes to protect these boys from the cold.

When people saw this, everyone sighed with emotion.Some people tried to reject Lou Jinghua's kindness, and some people waited to insinuate that she had something wrong with her, but Lou Jinghua deftly resolved them all.

Facing those who refuse, she will say: "These things are all given to me by my father. If I don't need them too much, why not give them to you? You are the subordinates of the Lou family, so naturally you must treat them well."

Facing the ridicule, she replied calmly: "Little girl is just out of kindness. If I saw my brother die of illness on the way, I would absolutely not want to."

After this round of visits, in addition to the caring people who were only looking for an errand, perhaps even the servants who had previously had crooked ideas will look at her with admiration, and treat Ms. Lou even more desperately.

After finishing this matter, it was already late at night, and almost everyone in the camp went to sleep. Lou Jinghua just quietly returned to her tent and met with several friends sitting around the campfire.

Seeing that her clothes were thin, Zhao Kuo immediately took off his golden silk dress and put it on for her, asking, "How is it? It looks like the matter is settled?"

"Miss Ben is here, what else can't be done?" Lou Jinghua returned, took the warm wine handed by the servant, sipped lightly to warm her body, and said: "Actually, thanks You guys thought that the so-called chivalrous men only existed in the records of the 'Tai Shigong' and disappeared as early as when you were a big man. Who knows how shallow your knowledge is when I got to know you!"

"Miss Lou, in fact, the so-called knights have never existed, but they are everywhere." Bai Feng took a bowl of wine and took a sip, then respectfully said: "Everything bears Yin and embraces Yang. If there is no oppression in this world When common people and robbery happen, knights have nowhere to live and have no choice but to fly far away. After all, they are all living in this world for a single thought."

"For remembrance?" Lou Jinghua said with a sympathetic smile, "It turns out that I never thought about it in my heart before. I only thought that the only thing in my life was the Qunma Town and the Lou family mansion in front of me..."

Zhao Kuo smiled and said, "Jinghua, everyone is very happy to see you finally get out of the predicament!"

"Yes, Sister Jinghua, after all these years of knowing each other, it's the first time I know that you can be so understanding!" Miss Zhao said with a sneer.

After hearing this, Lou Jinghua couldn't help smiling.In just a few days, she was no longer as full of palaces as before.

Treating people with kindness and sincerity in this way, the Lou family's caravan successfully killed the mutiny in the cradle, and was able to continue to go to Beizhen with firmer steps.
