Chapter 19 Caravan
Chapter 19 Horse Gang
Xia Yun became the horse gang's Ma Guotou, which was purely an accident, and she also experienced some twists and turns. With the wealth of the Xia family, she was actually not a girl who could support her family.
Xia Ren'an, the former horse gang, was Xia Yun's father.
The Xia family is a famous family in Xiangzhou Prefecture, the State of Great Chu. Although Xia Ren'an's father was just a distant branch and a single family in Sunset City, he was also a famous wealthy family.
Xia Ren'an is the only seedling in the family. His father hopes that he will be safe all his life. He has been urging him to study and limiting his time to practice martial arts.
But things went against my wishes. Although Xia Ren'an was both civil and military, he also achieved fame of scholars. He was born to like adventure and advocated chivalrous justice.
After his parents passed away, no one could care about him anymore. Although his wife and children were still a concern, it was no longer enough to tie him up.
He was like a wild horse that had taken off his reins and joined a horse gang walking in the tea-horse trade road.
Although it also means to support a family, it is more about traveling around freely.
The Xia family was a large family of immortal cultivation in ancient times. According to the genealogy, its ancestor was named Xia Yuyi. He once founded the Xia Dynasty and was a famous figure in history.
Xia Ren'an's great-grandfather was separated from the master's family because no spiritual roots appeared for several generations and came from Xiangzhou Prefecture to Sunset City.
When he left, the patriarch still gave him a basic practice method for family heirloom.
In Sunset City, Xia Ren'an has been passed down for three generations, and there are still no spiritual roots among his descendants.
Xia Ren'an already has a daughter and a son, but his son still has no spiritual roots, but his eldest daughter Xia Yun is the owner of spiritual roots.
Xia Yun is a genius in cultivation. She was less than twelve years old and had to practice without a teacher to the fourth level of Qi training with her own practice. This is enough to protect her family's safety. This is also the reason why Xia Ren's confidence in taking risks.
Xia Ren'an was both civil and military, and was a hero and righteous man. Soon he became the horse gang's horse gang, and was deeply supported by the horse rushers.
He once again led the horse gang onto the journey. He thought that he would send his daughter to the Xiangzhou Prefecture Master's house to train him when he came back, so as not to delay his daughter's cultivation.
The hardships of the Tea-Horse Trading Road are extraordinary, and every trip is an experience of life and death. I don’t know how many horse-driven people and horse-potted corpses are abandoned in the wilderness and died in foreign lands.
Xia Ren'an did not escape the fate of most horse-driven people in the end. In the southwest prairie, he was attacked by the largest horse bandit with poisoned arrows and died of poisoning.
Xia Yun went to the horse gang alone to deal with her father's funeral. When the horse gang competed for the horse gang, no one paid attention to her affairs.
Xia Yun took action in anger and used her strength at the fourth level of Qi Refining to deal with the worldly martial artists. Although she had no magic, she still destroyed and won easily.
Although the many men in the horse gang looked ugly, they were completely convinced.
The man in the horse gang was a bachelor, and he spoke in a word. Xia Yun successfully took over the horse gang.
At the beginning of Xia Yun taking over, the big men were embarrassed. After all, a little girl was the one who was the head of the horse, which highlighted the incompetence of these men.
They were also unable to raise their heads in front of other horse gang personnel, and some people who could not bear it left the horse gang and surrendered to other horse gangs.
The horse gang led by Xia Yun dropped its strength for a while, but the elites were left behind. They followed the rules and obeyed the dispatch.
Xia Yun handled things in an orderly manner and had a very fatherly demeanor. She also had a rare and delicate feeling. The horse gang staff cooperated closely and were surprised and safe after several walks.
Xia Yun slowly won the true support of the entire horse gang, and many new personnel joined.
Even the people who had withdrawn returned, Xia Yun always refused everyone, which moved them very much. They did their best to do their best in doing things, and the strength of the horse gang was even better than before.
Although Xia Yun is young, she is full of ideas. She is in charge of the horse gang for a living, but in fact she is waiting for her enemies to come and find opportunities to avenge her father.
Soon, Xia Yun took over the horse gang for more than two years. She was over fourteen years old, and her cultivation level also broke from the fourth level of Qi refining to the seventh level of Qi refining. She gradually gained a great reputation in the tea and horse business, but her enemies still did not come to her.
The horse gang staff came from many places and the languages were different. Everyone came together and formulated a lot of "jandra".
Lunch is called "Kaishao", the usual camping site is called "Nezi", outdoor camping is called "Kailiang", etc.
The horse gang lives on the road and spends most of the time camping and sleeping.
As soon as the sky is bright, you have to get up and find the mules and horses, feed them, and then go on a pack to go on the road.
"Open the tips" at noon, that is, according to the number of paths on the grassland, make a butter tea, knead a little tsampa and eat it.
When the sky gets dark, the horse gangs have to try their best to get to the "nest" they must reach, which is convenient for cooking and relatively safe places.
It will only be "bright" when they reach the "nest". They must bury gongs and pots before dark to cook rice, unload the packs, and set up a tent.
No matter who you accidentally commit a taboo, you will be scolded and pay for a treat. If it is serious, you will be expelled from the horse gang.
Xia Yun never tires about introducing various taboos to Piaopiao, because she is afraid that he will accidentally violate the ban and will be expelled from the horse gang.
The management of the horse gang is strictly similar to the army.
The horse gang uses gongs to convey information, similar to the army's golden drum horns. There are rules to beat gongs, and different beating methods represent different meanings.
In the deep mountains and dense forests, the gong also has the function of scaring birds and animals, and also has the function of notifying the opposite and behind the horse gangs.
The horse gang is a collective, but also a temporary small "society". They are often far away from people and all work depends entirely on the division of labor and cooperation of internal horse chasers.
Therefore, every horse-driver must have the abilities and abilities that ordinary people do not possess.
Among them, some people should understand the four seasons and the weather changes, and they should have special people who can distinguish directions and paths. They should also have translations that are familiar with the languages of various ethnic groups.
There are many skills required for horse gangs, such as calculating accounts and identifying goods, setting up accounts and cooking, chopping wood and making fire, identifying wild vegetables and fruits, carrying them on top and down, nailing palms to cultivate palms, finding grass to feed, and even treating people and animals.
Horse Gangs are a business group, but they also have their own independent businesses. The various operating expenses of horse Gangs are all drawn according to the size of the business.
In the temporary "society" of horse gangs, Ma Guotou plays the role of managers, while other horse-driving people play the role of taxpayers.
Ma Guotou's pot is not so easy to bear. Although it is the biggest beneficiary of the "tax" of the horse gang, it also bears the greatest risks and fulfills its responsibilities.
Therefore, whether the relationship between the horse-driving man and the horse-pot is harmonious and whether the actions are easy to coordinate will determine the efficiency and destiny of the horse-drawn gang to a certain extent.
The horse gang was bright again. Piaopiao habitually released her spiritual sense and found a cavalry team of hundreds of miles away. It seemed that Xia Yun's enemy was coming!
