Economic and Trade Song Dynasty

"En." Qin Juan nodded lightly.

Seeing that he agreed, the steward went to find another guest.

Qin Juan sat down and thought carefully about the situation during the day...

During the day, he ate the pork jerky given to him by the steward, because he felt a little tired of eating noodles every day these days.

By the way, the breakfast meal in the morning was held by the small river that was about to dry up, and the steward asked them to fetch water!

He didn't go because the water bladder was full. He filled it up by the big river the day before yesterday, and maybe he didn't move because he was afraid of trouble.

Oh, I remembered that those hard workers didn't go either!

As for the steward's safety, it may be because he hasn't drank water or the water that he drank was not from the small river. Thinking of this... Qin Juan immediately went to find the steward.

The few in charge were helping the doctor to dispense the medicine, but the doctor himself was suffering from unbearable abdominal pain, so he still endured and prepared the medicine first...

Their caravan happened to have a batch of goods to be shipped to Nepal.Fortunately, they have a lot of medicine in their hands

The doctor was too busy to work... After a while, he couldn't do it anymore. After lying down, he never got up straight again.

When Qin Juan walked over, the doctor had been curled up on the bed for a long time.

Several hard laborers were busy moving things, and the steward and another sleeper were getting medicinal materials.

Seeing Qin Juan approaching, the steward of the caravan exclaimed in astonishment, "Why don't you go to sleep!"

"There is a problem with the water." Qin Juan said to him,

The steward of the caravan—zwnj; couldn't react in time, and shouted: "What's the problem with the water?"

"There is a problem with the small river that you filled the water bag in the morning! Don't use the water you draw during the day!" Qin Juan said quickly.

Qin Juan &─zwnj;said,&─zwnj; the half-awake caravan leader who was lying beside him also slowly opened his eyes: "He, what he said makes sense...I just drank it in the afternoon and took the taxi today." water……"

"The hard workers haven't had any water today." The man also said suddenly.

Because they were in a hurry and kept on their way, the hard workers set off early in the morning to drink "─zwnj; water for the first time, and the next time" was usually when they set up camp for dinner.

There is no dinner today, so the hard workers haven't had any water yet.

"If you suspect that it's a water problem, why don't you call the hard laborers over and let them drink the water you fetched today?" Another lodger said with his arms crossed.

Qin Juan's eyes were condensed, and he said in a cold tone, "It's not necessary."

"It's not that they all drink water, but only one of them..." He was suddenly swept away by Qin Juan's eyes when he said this, and he couldn't continue speaking, strangely How come it looks like it can kill people.

Qin Juan looked at the steward of the caravan. The steward of the caravan questioned more than a dozen people, and he didn't drink any water, so he confirmed: "There is a problem with the water."

"Get out the painkillers first, and then make plans." The manager said, "Also, pour out all the water you took today and don't drink any more!"

The hard workers came over after finishing their work, and when they heard them talking about water problems, Jin Qiu went to Qin Juan to ask a few words.

They do not have water bladders, and if they want to enter the caravan to do hard labor, the water bladders, eating bowls, and shoes have to be handed over to the stewards of the caravan, because the caravan is afraid that the hard workers will run away.

─zwnj; Ordinary peons are not allowed to run, most of the peons are not locals, they either fell from the battlefield, or they don’t want to be tied to the battlefield, so they can only survive with the caravan.

Peons will not accept young people, and caravans are also afraid of messing with the army.

Qin Juan took off a water bag and handed it to Jin Qiu: "Don't drink the water they give you these few days." Most people in the caravan are good, and they are afraid that other people have bad intentions.

Jin Qiu didn't understand, but he believed everything Qin Juan said, so he took a sip of it after taking it.

"Save it." Qin Juan said and walked towards the side.

Over there, after the steward boiled the medicine, Jin Qiu was called to work, and the laborers wanted to distribute the medicine to everyone to drink.

When distributing the medicine, someone handed Jin Qiu the water bag and said a few words that he didn't understand. The man kicked ─ zwnj;, and he scrambled and ran away.

He felt a little scared, he didn't understand what it meant, and he didn't dare to ask Qin Juan, the steward of the caravan asked Qin Juan to go to sleep, Qin Juan should be asleep at this moment.

After drinking the medicine, some people obviously got better. Although they didn't get rid of the disease with the medicine, the unbearable abdominal pain improved a lot, but some people still had no effect.

The doctor is much better, at least he can feel the pulse while sitting down.

After all, everyone's physique is different, and now we have to prescribe the right medicine according to our physique. The doctor changed the prescription and asked people to continue brewing the medicine.

But not long after, Qin Juan had just fallen asleep when he heard the sound of rumbling horseshoes approaching. When he lifted the quilt and got out of bed, there were already screams outside.

At this time, Qin Juan also fully understood why the water in the small river was poisonous. When he came from Bancheng, he had never heard of any river whose water was undrinkable... Before going to bed, he wondered if something was wrong.

It was because of this!

Qin Juan walked out of the tent and untied his horse first. He didn't want to escape, but to ensure that the horse was safe at this time.

After Qin Juan got on his horse, he saw from a distance that there were not many robbers, only about forty or fifty people, and there were more than fifty people in the caravan.

It's just that the situation is special now, and most of the caravans are in bad condition.

Perhaps it was because it was not the first time to encounter robbers, only a few people in the caravan were terrified, and they were more terrified because of their poor health, which was a disadvantage.

Perhaps because of experience, the stewards and leaders of the caravan have already led people to resist. There are two kinds of robbers. The robbers in the desert are different. There are half a hundred of them. The less you resist, the more arrogant they become. They rob goods, kill people before leaving, and then leave a few people to tell other merchants how terrible they are ...

Those who could fight drew their swords to resist the robbers, and those who could not fight also drew their swords and waved them aside. Most of them did not retreat.

Of course, some escaped, there were always a few, but a few hard workers... none of them escaped.

Qin Juan observed for a while, and seemed to be looking for the robbers' loopholes, but it seemed to be something else.

Just as Qin Juan was fighting with the group in front of them, Qin Juan rushed over on his horse. Almost alone, he detoured and appeared behind the robbers, and directly chopped off the two robbers.

Because he appeared too fast and the knife was too fast, by the time the robbers reacted, the formation had already been disrupted by him.

Qin Juan's sudden appearance stunned the caravan. Some even thought it was a passing hero who suddenly drew his sword to save them. They didn't recognize this young wolf who had been with them day and night.

Only Jin Qiu shouted after being stunned for a long time: "It's the big brother! It's my big brother!"

What big brother! ...

The steward of the caravan came back to his senses and fixed his eyes "Look, isn't this the little brother who stayed in their caravan!"

"Don't be dazed, let's kill him, he alone can't withstand the siege of a dozen people, and when we gain the upper hand, these robbers will naturally run away!" The steward shouted.

How many people in the caravan can fight? Just now, they felt that their strengths were too different and they lacked confidence. Now that someone from Qin "─zwnj;" who can defeat ten with one" appeared, their confidence has greatly increased!

"Brothers! If we win against the robbers, it will be a legend, maybe our caravan will become famous!" The leader of the caravan suddenly shouted, "All the coolies, this time I promise you, if the caravan If you can tide over the difficulties, I will find a way to get you household registration and make you good citizens!"

Seeing that none of the coolies had escaped, he wanted to praise them, this is the best!

The coolies understand it even harder, and those who don’t understand have to find a translator who understands&─zwnj;…

Qin Juan fought with one against ten, and fought for more than a quarter of an hour. He really couldn't take it anymore. He had to ensure that he would not be injured. After all, these robbers can throw poison into the river, and there is no guarantee that their knives will not be smeared with medicine. !

He was too ruthless to use his internal strength, and he was afraid that those with discerning eyes would find out. After all, his identity...if it was found out, it would be a capital crime.

&─zwnj; A deputy general from Luobu City came here for no reason, King Dayong is not on the list of the Western Expedition, except for the time when he came to An Diku to welcome back the general's coffin, King Dayong's people were almost not allowed to leave in Lob

He was afraid of trouble and didn't want to die.

He doesn't know how many people here have been in the Mongolian barracks, but there must be, not a few

Those robbers could beat only a dozen or so, and after they were all entangled by Qin Juan, the others were quickly beaten to death...

After a while, he started running around.

Seeing this, those around Qin Juan felt bad, and also became eccentric.

Qin Juan wanted to make a quick decision and force these people to flee, so he stepped on his horse and swung his knife, and directly cut off the one closest to him from his horse.

This one seems to be a prestigious one in this group of robbers, because just now he said a few words to this person, and the others followed-zwnj; and besieged him.

Sure enough, the group of robbers panicked, and two people went to help the man who had been cut off by him, and they were in a mess.

Qin Juan jumped on the horse, rode the horse and swung the saber again.

At this time, the group of robbers looked at him as if they were watching a ghost, and said tremblingly: "Today, I met an evil star, so bad luck! Come back!"

─zwnj; time, the dust was flying, and the robbers fled without a trace.

Most of the people in the caravan were injured—zwnj; most of the goods were fine, and a few horses and hunchbacks died.

But they didn't dare to stay here for a long time, they had to pack up and rush on their way.

"Let's wrap it up briefly, get things ready, and get ready to go."

The leader of the caravan ordered.

The manager took a few brothers to thank Qin Juan.

&─zwnj; At that time, Qin Juan didn't speak, he didn't know what to say.

At this time, Jin Qiu came over. Jin Qiu's arm was injured and bleeding, but he didn't care so much. Instead, he ran over and asked Qin Juan if he was injured.

"It hurt me, I need some skills."

Qin Juan only felt that he was "─zwnj; his murderous aura has been hard to control for a long time, maybe he was afraid of scaring people around him, his tone was light, he thought, he really wanted to fight with Ning Bai's level"-zwnj; Suddenly, I felt that fighting with people of that level would be hearty and hearty.

At first, I thought it would be a good time to kill, but now, after the matter is over, it is boring.
