Chapter 1196

The rugged and difficult mountain road greatly limited the walking progress of the horse thieves, which directly led to the horse thief leader's men and horses following him, the one-eyed people and horses were still blocked on the path, and only a small number of horses and boxes were transported over, so the horse thief leader was greatly dissatisfied, and personally came to supervise the horse thieves to move the boxes.

The size of these treasure boxes is not small, the weight of each box is one or two hundred pounds, carrying such a heavy box, it is already very tiring on the flat ground, and on the rugged and difficult mountain road, it is even more tiring to carry these boxes, and the distance is not close, first climb a hundred steps, and then go downhill a hundred steps, in the middle will encounter a few narrow places that are almost impossible to walk, it takes two people to cooperate very tacitly, in order to move the box smoothly, if the cooperation is not good, the box will hit the trunkand even fading to the ground.

For gold and silver ingots, these hard guys, naturally don't have to worry about collision, no matter how they hit, they won't be broken, but some treasures are more squeamish jade, and some are jewelry made of gold, silver and jade, these things are more squeamish, and they are relatively easy to damage, and once damaged, the value will be greatly reduced.

There were more than a hundred brothers under One-Eye's command, and there were more than a hundred horses, and according to the calculation of two boxes for each horse, there were more than two hundred boxes in total, and in addition, there were some other items, that is, all kinds of miscellaneous items placed on the horse's back.

A box needs two horse thieves to carry together, and two horse thieves are responsible for transporting four boxes, so all horse thieves have to move the box four times, one time is enough to be tired, need to carry four times in a row, this manual labor is really not small, many horse thieves are tired and out of breath.

When people are tired, it is inevitable that there will be various mistakes, such as throwing the box to the ground, or even breaking the gold and silver jewelry inside, and the most serious thing is that after the box falls, it rolls off the cliff.

"Brothers, work harder, a little faster."

The leader of the horse thieves saw that the team was blocked here, and asked anxiously.

Seeing the leader's urging, the horse thieves had to speed up the transport, but the road was too difficult to carry at all.

"Brethren, be careful, be careful, slow a little."

The speed was a little faster, and a number of boxes collided with the trunks of the trees on the side of the road, making a clattering sound, which made the leader of the horse thieves very distressed, and hurriedly asked the horse thieves to slow down.

It is simply a contradiction to let the brothers slow down at the moment, which also reflects the anxiety of the leader of the horse thieves, who not only wants the brothers to work faster, but also hopes that the brothers can be careful and not break the treasure in the box.

"Boom la la ......"

Sometimes what they are afraid of comes, two tired horse thieves, accidentally hit the trunk of the box, and because they did not hold it steady, after hitting the trunk, the box directly got out of their hands, and then rolled down the small cliff wall next to the road, in the process of rolling down, the lock of the box was opened because of the impact, so all the treasures inside were scattered, and they were everywhere.

Hearing such a voice, the heart of the leader of the horse thieves was broken, he was extremely angry, and scolded loudly: "I said that you should be careful, why are you so careless, quickly pick it up, go down and pick it up." ”

The two troublesome pony thieves hurriedly went down to pick up the scattered gold and silver treasures, but because the scattered places were too large and the road below was also very dangerous, it was not easy to pick up these treasures, and it was estimated that it would take a lot of time to complete this task with these two people.

One-eyed naturally understood this truth, so he hurriedly sent a dozen more people to let them go down to collect treasures together, and prepared a dozen ropes for them to be careful.

"Look at all the hairy hands, how careless, this box is full of jewelry, I don't know how much it has broken?"

The leader of the horse thieves said distressedly.

One-eyed opened his mouth and said with relief: "Big brother, don't worry, these are gold and silver utensils, they are very strong, and they won't break much. ”

"It would be nice if I picked them all up, I'm afraid I'll miss something!"

The leader of the horse thieves continued.

The small cliff has a drop of at least 50 meters, and the vegetation below is dense, and although it is winter, there is too much hay and leaves on the entire cliff wall, and some small jewelry has fallen under the grass, which is difficult to spot. Therefore, it is inevitable to lose some, and this will make the leader of the horse thieves feel distressed.

In order to recover the fallen jewelry, the horse thieves tied ropes to the trunk of the tree, and then tiptoed down, very careful with each step, for fear that one would accidentally fall to the bottom of the cliff and lose his life.

"Look, such a good bracelet is broken, and if it is broken, it will be worthless, hey!"

After several horse thieves came up, they put the treasure they had picked up in the box, and the leader of the horse thieves picked up the broken bracelet in the box and said distressedly.

"Big brother, this is a jade bracelet, it's not very valuable, it's not a sin commodity, it's a medium quality, it's just a few hundred yuan, big brother doesn't have to be so sad."

One-eyed spoke.

"A few hundred texts, all of a sudden, gone."

The leader of the horse thieves said distressedly.

More than a hundred horse thieves under the command of One-Eye, with great effort, finally moved all the boxes over, the brothers were tired and panting, but the dozen or so horse thieves who were responsible for finding scattered treasures on the cliff wall had not yet completed the task, they needed to continue to search below, and One-Eye led most of the horse thieves under his command to continue to move forward, among them, some horse thieves need to take care of two horses by one person, after all, there are more than a dozen horse thieves looking for scattered treasures on the cliff, and the horses in charge of these people need to be handed over to others temporarily.

The hundred people under the command of the leader of the horse thieves carried relatively few materials, and there were only a hundred boxes of various kinds, which was half less than the boxes under the command of One-Eye, so it was easier to pass through this difficult road, but it was also tiring enough, and the team didn't want to pass through this ghost place without half an hour.

The one-eyed team that had left was slowly moving forward, the horse thieves were tired enough, many horse thieves were tired and sweaty on their foreheads, and in the winter, they were actually tired on their foreheads, which was enough to show that they were really tired, otherwise they would not sweat on their foreheads.

"Brother Pony, are you tired, I'm almost tired."

The fat man led the horse hard as he opened his mouth to talk to the foal.

The foal nodded, "Look at the beads of sweat on my forehead, can I not be tired?" It's really tiring, I really don't know how many such bird paths there are behind, if you can encounter such a road every day, this is really impossible to walk. ”

"Brother Xiaoma, don't scare me, I'm cowardly, if it's like this every day, I won't live anymore, I've never suffered such a big sin."

The fat man said fearfully.

This can't be blamed on the fat man, although this guy looks very strong, but in fact he is relatively weak, he doesn't have much strength at all, he usually makes do with people, but once he does heavy work for a long time, he can't stand it, and all the sweat that flows up and down his body is sweat.

The foal smiled faintly and said, "Fatty! You just lack exercise, how many more times is it better to walk this way? In this way, you can become more energetic, and by the way, you can lose weight, looking at the belly of meat, it is not good-looking. ”

The fat man frowned and said, "If I lose weight, am I still fat?" I'd rather be fat like that, and that's good. ”

Sometimes, however, they were afraid of anything, and they had only gone less than three miles when they came across an equally extremely difficult road, on which it was still necessary to unload the boxes on both sides of the horses, otherwise they would not be able to pass at all, and in this way they would have suffered again, and it would have been a great sin.

The previous moving boxes made them very tired, this time they had to move the boxes uphill and downhill, many people gasped when they saw the road conditions, such road conditions are really bad, if the next road has been like this, then how to go!

Especially the fat man, when he saw that the road was like this, his legs were directly weak, and his expression was completely loveless, and he wanted to die.

"Brother Xiaoma, I really shouldn't have said something like that just now, I just said it, and I encountered such a bad road again, how can I go here!"

The fat man had no strength anymore, and said helplessly.

The foal encouraged: "Don't be afraid, fat man, I'm here, as long as I have it, I won't let you get tired, I'll just move it alone, you just need to lead the horse." ”

When the fat man heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, how can this work?" It's so tiring to move boxes, it's enough for two people, and if you move it alone, you won't be tired to death! No, I can't bear to let my brother suffer alone, it's a big deal not to live, and I'm tired to death. ”

The one-eyed person who is responsible for leading the team, seeing the road conditions like this, has the heart to die, the difficult road section just encountered has made the brothers very tired, and there is a difficult road in front of him, which is also a difficult road for horses to carry boxes, such a road section is really terrible, this is to give the brothers a similar ah!

Moreover, it can be seen that many brothers have shown unhappy expressions, and now, these unhappy brothers can still control it, but if he encounters this situation every day in the future, he may not be able to control the situation, in case the brothers under his command mutiny, it is not a joke, it will kill a lot of people.

"Brother Eye, what should I do? How many such roads will there be in the future, it won't be so difficult to walk every day in the future! ”

A horse thief asked.

One-eyed said angrily: "You ask me! How do I know! I haven't walked it again, and God knows what kind of road lies ahead. ”

Obviously, One-Eye has no hope for the next road, he knows that the road behind will not be much easier, and they are going to Hedong, to go to Hedong, they must cross the Yellow River, and the Yellow River is a very wide moat, crossing the Yellow River will be a bigger hurdle, and then it is necessary to let the brothers cut down trees and build simple boats, and this is also very physically demanding, in short, this road will definitely not be easy, and there will be many, many tests waiting for them in the future, They must be well prepared to face such a test.

The foal suddenly noticed something, hurriedly walked over, and said: "Brother Eye, there are no side branches in the big tree here within a zhang, so it's great, brothers don't have to work hard to move the box, can't you pass by putting a box on the top of the horse's back." ”

Hearing this, One-Eye hurriedly looked at the big tree in front of him, it doesn't matter if he doesn't look at it, after seeing it, One-Eye immediately became happy, the big tree in front of him is different from what he just encountered, there are no side branches below one zhang, so that the horse can carry the box, and a horse can carry all the boxes back and forth twice, which is really a very good way.

"Hahaha! The foal was right, unload one of the boxes, put the rest on the horse's back, and do that, the brethren, hurry, hurry, hurry. ”

One-Eyed opened his mouth and ordered, telling all the horse thieves under his command to hurry up and work.

The fat man heard the news, not to mention how happy he was, as long as he didn't let him carry the box, he would be very happy, although he was tired of leading the horse, it was much easier than carrying the box.

However, even if you use a horse to transport the box, you need two people to cooperate to complete, because the horse's back is uneven, such a large and heavy box, placed on the horse's back, it is easy to roll over, you need a person to hold it, otherwise if it rolls over, it will be troublesome.

"Fatty, what are you waiting for, hurry up and get on the horse, hold the box, don't let the box fall."

The foal spoke.

The fat man was even happier when he heard this, not only did he not need to exert himself, but he could also ride the horse for a while, which was too comfortable.

When the other pony thieves saw them doing this, they all learned this good trick, one leading the horse in front and the other sitting on the horse's back and holding the box to prevent it from tipping over.

In this way, with the wisdom of the foal, a team of more than 100 people transported more than 200 boxes with relative ease, and the horse thieves were not affected and completed the task easily.

And when they all crossed the difficult place, the team behind them hadn't caught up, much to One-Eye's great joy.

The foal walked up to One-Eye, and said, "Brother Eye, should we leave someone here, so that we can tell the brothers behind us that we can transport the boxes in such a good way." ”

"No, no, you kid can think of such a good way, can't others think of it? Hurry up and lead the horse! Hurry up. ”

One-eyed spoke.

He did it on purpose, no matter whether the brothers behind him could think of this solution, he was unwilling to tell the brothers behind him anyway, because his team had the heaviest task, and he would be caught up by the team behind him while walking, which made him very uncomfortable, so he naturally wouldn't tell the people behind him about this good method, in case the people behind him didn't think of this way, they would be blocked for a while, and they wouldn't keep biting him away, and he would be more relaxed.
