Chapter 57
Merchant Zhu Dahao intended to please Chen Ang and the others, so he rushed the caravan's itinerary extremely hastily, but within two days, they passed the critical pass set up by the State of Qin at the junction with the State of Yiqu. It is open and vast, with white grass lying on the ground, covered with frost and snow. The road that the business traveler walked out has already been covered by heavy snow, and it is even difficult to tell whether it is still on the right road.
The sky and the earth are white, with no direction. The mountains on the horizon are undulating and winding like dragons. The caravan trudged through the snow field with difficulty. The snow covering the ankles made it more difficult to identify the road.
Those who walked behind had to follow the footsteps of those who explored the road ahead. The huge team of thousands of people melted the snow and made the road muddy. They stepped on the melted snow. There are good felt boots, but they must also be soaked. Dozens of people have been frostbitten along the way.
Thanks to Zhu Dahao's extremely talented merchants, he divided the caravan of thousands of people into several teams, with a few capable guys as forwards to scout the way, looking for the right path, and the front team, who left half a day in advance, looking for a flat and suitable approach Where there is a water source, look for pastures and build camps. The squadron can drive the cattle and horses for half a day, and then stop to practice and stay for an hour.
And Chen Ang and others and Zhu Dahaoshang were in the last team of the squadron.
Although Wukong came to Middle-earth from the proud country in the East China Sea, he has a wide range of knowledge, but he often sees overseas wonders, wandering away from many sea and island countries, but he has never been to the northwest plateau of Zhanbuzhou in the south. This thousands of miles of wilderness is uninhabited. The magnificent scenery is also somewhat novel and rare. The caravan passed by many camps of the Quanrong people, all of which were abandoned.
The young man surnamed Zhu introduced with a smile: "The customs of the Hu people in Xirong are very different from those of our middle land. They live nomadicly and chase aquatic plants. This kind of camp is only used for two months in spring and summer every year. In autumn, they will prepare to migrate, and they should have already migrated to the south. However, the Quanrong people have also learned farming from my middle land. Their capital, Yiqu, also has farmland, so they can support the nobles in the city to settle down without having to be nomadic. Walk for half a month, and you will see it!"
Upon hearing this, Wukong laughed and said, "On the road, I have also seen several lands with fertile soil and abundant water sources. The Yiqu people would rather abandon the long grass than cultivate it. There must be a reason."
The young man surnamed Zhu said proudly: "That's natural. They plowed the land, didn't they invite us old Qin people to rob it? In the past, Dr. Baili Xi conquered the twelve cities of Yiqu, and they were supported by farming. The Yiqu dog The Rong people, since then, have also understood the truth that a man is not guilty but he is guilty!"
"But what about those barbarian people who abandon farming and herding? This great land will belong to us Qin people sooner or later!"
The young man is extremely proud of this, he is very respectful to Chen Ang, he often asks for advice, and even treats Yin Xi with courtesy and thoughtfulness at all times, but in front of Wukong, he has no respect, not very respectful, but because of this It's easier to talk to Wukong, and it seems more casual. Wukong has already seen the reason for it!
Most likely, this person has a very strong idea of the difference between Chinese and barbarians. He naturally respects Chen Ang, Laozi, and Yin Xi, who wear elegant crowns and Yanhuang nobles. I can't help but look down upon it, and it's a lot more casual.
Moreover, Mr. Chen Ang is a person who has profound attainments in all kinds of principles and knowledge. In his speech, he casually points out the true words of truth, while Yin Xi learns the true words of "Tao De". , which is different from Wukong's wild and presumptuous temperament.
In the eyes of the young man surnamed Zhu, Wukong, who studies the structure of space dimensions every day, and the craftsmen of "magical skills and obscenity" and "mechanical transformation" of energy and matter conversion, is probably the same as Chen Ang. Bookboys, servants and the like, raised a rare one, and didn't get the true biography.
The boy didn't know what he missed. After walking like this for nearly ten days, nearly half of the cattle and horses froze to death on the road, and their bones were scattered all the way.
It was only gradually that people could be seen. When the caravan set up camp, they found people peeping several times. The young man picked up his bow and arrow, mounted his horse, and led his own family members to drive them away. Shi Ran came back.
The young man held a bow and arrow and said proudly: "Those barbarians from the Dog Rong tribe were spying again. I shot a few of them to death and fled in all directions!"
"Those savages, if it wasn't for my father's reluctance to make trouble, I would let those who are good at tracking among the disciples go to their tribe, and then lead the team to kill them all! I can also pick up a ready-made camp Rest, maybe we can grab some cattle, horses and sheep to make up for our losses on the road."
Wukong secretly said: "This kid is also considered interesting, but he doesn't think highly of me. Is it because I call myself a hairy person? If he knows, I'm not even a hairy person, just a hozen monkey. I don't know if this kid will change it again. what face?"
Seeing that Wukong was writing those incomprehensible symbols again, the young man smiled and said, "Are you learning those math and physics again? What kind of talents are the two teachers? Every word and deed, they are all inherited from the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, and issued by the emperors." You are honored to worship under the seat of the teacher, the most important principles of grammar in various countries, instead of learning the correct way of governing the country and military strategy, but burying your head in these weird symbols every day, is it really a waste of money, such a foolish act?"
"It's just that you know that you are humble and dare not ask the teacher. Mr. Wenshi is of the same generation as you. He was taught by a volume of "Tao Te Ching" from Mr. Laozi. But if you don't ask, you will really waste a great opportunity!"
When Yin Xi heard the young man say this, he couldn't laugh or cry, so he had to explain: "Brother Wukong asks the truth of heaven and earth, understands all things, and the various avenues passed down by the two teachers of Broadcom, his knowledge is only higher than mine, and he can be called a scholar." Heaven and man. You are so underestimated that you have already fallen into the lower class, and you must never say such insincere remarks!"
The young man thought that Yin Xi was just afraid that Wukong's face would not look good, and he said something to save face, so he smiled and didn't take it seriously.
I thought to myself: "This Sun Wukong is just a hairy man after all. Seeing how he is obsessed with counting tricks day and night, how much can he learn from the two teachers' literary and martial arts? I am afraid that he is not as good as me. I In the past few days, I have been asking for advice and listening to the two teachers discussing the Tao. Except for those obscure mantras, I really don’t understand how to use the joint probability density to represent two-dimensional random variables and find the spatial discrete probability cloud distribution. How to use Chebyshev Inequality, to find the probability cloud of vitality to converge to a fixed value, is really beyond my comprehension."
"Other studies such as "morality", "politics", "economics" and so on, all call me enlightened, and I feel that I have made great progress."
The young man sighed slightly in his heart, he just felt that Wukong was an unbearable bastard, worthy of being born as a Nanban hairy man.
