For three days in a row, Su Junbao drove on the endless wilderness of the Northern Territory. After leaving Qinghe County, they truly entered the sparsely populated wilderness area. Here, within hundreds of radius, not a single person could be seen.
In fact, in the northernmost wilderness area, the so-called territorial divisions are based on areas centered around cities. Outside these areas where people gather, there are often large stretches of no-man's land.
The land here is barren, the climate is cold, no crops can grow, and only some scattered nomadic tribes live tenaciously on this land.
If Su Junbao wants to reach the capital of Fenglan Kingdom, he has to pass through these sparsely populated wilderness areas.
Here, no one was chasing them anymore, but Su Junbao found that they were not living a peaceful life because of this.
Here, due to the lack of control, the rules of human society have been greatly weakened, and everything has returned to its most primitive state. The law of the weak and the strong is fully reflected, and a large number of nomads have been born, who plunder nomadic tribes everywhere.
Make a living with pedestrians.
After only three days of walking, Su Junbao and the others encountered two waves of bandits!
Fortunately, they were all small gangs with weak fighting power, so they were easily dismissed by Su Junbao, but he was full of worries about the next journey.
Su Junbao had been a mercenary for a while, and he knew that this was just a small gang. If he really encountered a big gang with hundreds of people, with Su Junbao's own strength, even if he could escape, he would definitely not be able to save these children.
Moreover, these gangsters all have a characteristic, that is, they come and go quickly. The mounts on their crotches are all made of the best and fastest beasts. Most people are targeted by them and it is difficult to get rid of them unless they are beaten back.
His pursuit.
From the mouth of the small gang in front, Su Junbao learned that there was a group of hundreds of gangsters nearby. They were just one of the gangs, and it was at least three days away from the next nearest town, Pingyang Town.
Su Junbao now just hopes that they don't run into any more trouble before reaching Pingyang Town!
Su Junbao thought so in his heart, but unfortunately God was not kind to him. On the afternoon of the fourth day, the temperature dropped sharply, and heavy snow fell from the sky!
The first snow of the year.
Su Junbao knew that winter had come, but he never thought the snow would come so quickly.
In less than two or three hours, the sky and the earth have become completely white. Thick snow has accumulated, and the movement has slowed down. The thickness of the snow is the second most important thing. The Wanli Snow Spirit is naturally powerful and can overcome the snow on the ground. Su Junbao is most worried.
What's more, he feels disoriented in this kind of snow. He can only try to lock the direction and move forward.
The children all put on thick clothes and crowded in the car, but they didn't feel cold at all.
“In the past, whenever it snowed in winter, several people in our village would freeze to death and starve to death!”
Xiaoxi said, and the other children nodded in agreement. In their memories, such winters were probably only about hunger and cold, but now they are wearing warm and thick fur coats!
Su Junbao smiled as he listened to the whispers coming from behind him. No matter what, if they didn't find a village tonight, they would have to spend the night in the wind and snow.
In this wilderness, there are very few settled tribes in groups, but there are some temporary camps with nomadic tribes, and they all wander around with the water plants!
The little one doesn't like to stay in the car, and often sits in the driver's seat with Su Junbao, or nestles in his arms. Now that the weather is freezing, she has also put on a thick and warm little leather jacket and a leather jacket.
The hat only showed a small face. Even so, she felt extremely happy.
This was her first snow in the world. From time to time, she stretched out her hand from Su Junbao's arms, wanting to catch the falling snowflakes and play with them. Her little face was red with cold and she didn't care. Everything was full of curiosity.
Su Junbao looked at this little fool amusing himself and smiled in his heart. Her happiness was so simple.
When it was almost dark, Su Junbao finally found a tribal camp.
It seems to be quite large in scale. In addition to large and small tents, there are also strong fences outside, not only to prevent wild beasts from sneak attacks, but also to guard against the plunder of the nomadic bandits. The nomadic tribes that can survive in this wilderness have great fighting capabilities.
underestimate.
When Su Junbao drove his car closer, he immediately attracted the vigilant eyes of the guards.
"who?"
The two strong men in charge of vigilance were holding knives and were shouting questions.
"Pedestrians passing by, it's dark and snowy, could you please let us stay here for one night to avoid the wind and cold, for the sake of these children!"
Su Junbao got out of the car and said forward. The children in the car also opened the door and watched eagerly. They were crowded together in the car. It was still warm, but as soon as the car door was opened, a cold wind mixed with snowflakes came out.
After pouring it in, everyone shuddered!
"no!"
Before Su Junbao finished speaking, the two people were already a little impatient: "Our Rama tribe's camp will never receive any outsiders after dark!"
As he spoke, he waved his hand to signal the other party to leave.
"We can pay!"
Su Junbao said, I didn’t expect the other party to be a good person!
"Oh? How much can you pay?"
After hearing this, the two looked at each other and looked at each other carefully.
"It depends on how much you want, as long as it's suitable! It doesn't matter how much, we just want to find a place to spend the night," Su Junbao said.
The two people's eyes flickered and they secretly exchanged looks.
"Let's do this. If you stay one night and give us five gold coins, we can provide you with a tent and food so that you won't be hungry due to the snow and wind tonight. You see, it's such a heavy snowy day and it's so late!
" said one person.
"Can!"
Su Junbao nodded. Five gold coins were actually far more than the cost of a typical hotel stay.
He counted five gold coins from his pocket, and the man immediately grabbed them, his eyes gleaming!
"Then...where is our tent?" Su Junbao asked.
"What tent?"
The man had just put the money in his pocket, but turned around and asked pretending not to understand.
"You just took my money!" Su Junbao frowned, temporarily suppressing the anger in his heart.
"what money?"
The man added that he not only pretended not to understand, but also had a joking expression in his eyes, completely ignoring the other person!
"So... you are just pretending to be confused?"
Su Junbao's face turned cold. The rogue scene happened in front of his eyes. The children of several years old clenched their fists and showed expressions of disgust.
"Uncle, I'm just pretending to be confused, what can you do?"
The two men sneered: "In this hundred-mile radius, can you find a place to judge? We are all our people here. I think I think highly of you by charging you five gold coins. Hurry up and stop talking to me, otherwise I won't do it."
It’s just a matter of charging you five gold coins.”
As he spoke, he clenched his fist and shook it to indicate what would happen to the other party.
