Chapter 147 What is the origin

"I have checked and the ice on the river is very thick. There will be no problem crossing the river."

Lu Xiaohao nodded: "Then let's get ready and cross the river later." As he spoke, his eyes couldn't help but look towards the Taohua Village camp. There were quite a few capable people in the Baijiabao caravan.

"Sir, I failed in my duty. I did not notice when the ice cave was dug." Yang Song's face looked a little ugly.

Fortunately, the people of the Baijiabao caravan had no ill will towards his master, otherwise...

Lu Xiaohao just shook his head and said, "There are always people better than you."

He could live one more day now, and as for the rest, there was no point in thinking too much.

Speaking of which, while following the Baijiabao caravan, we occasionally encountered a few waves of pursuers passing by, but we were able to avoid them all.

Although Lu Xiaohao never believed in luck, after so many times he couldn't help but think that he had benefited from the good luck of the Baijiabao caravan.

"Auntie, I will send some people across the river first, and the rest will go over in batches later."

After Taohua Village had finished its meal and tidied up, Bai Dashan stood two steps behind them and reported respectfully.

"it is good."

People were sent across the river first to prevent anyone on the opposite bank from destroying the ice when the horse-drawn carriages and trucks from Taohua Village reached the middle of the river.

Crossing the river in batches is also for safety reasons, for fear that the leading horse-drawn carriages and carts would break the ice on the river surface, and the carriages and horses behind would not have time to react and fall into the ice cave.

Bai Dashan waved his hand, and immediately more than a dozen villagers, carrying simple bags and holding weapons in their hands, rushed onto the ice.

These dozen people walked steadily and quickly, without any signs of slipping. Some of them fell several times as soon as they stepped onto the ice, with a look of astonishment on their faces.

No, we all walked on the ice, and we had to use wooden sticks to move slowly. Even then, we would still slip and fall a few times.

But the dozen or so people leading the Baijiabao caravan not only did not fall once from the time they stepped onto the ice until they reached the other side, but they also walked quickly and steadily, the only thing short of running.

After reaching the other side, the dozen or so people quickly dispersed, searched near the river bank, and carefully checked the ice surface before waving flags towards this side.

The next part surprised everyone else even more. After seeing the flags waving on the other side of the river, the people from the Baijiabao caravan acted as if they had been trained. They drove seven or eight horse-drawn carriages and carts side by side across the ice in groups of twenty.

After the first batch of carriages and wagons crossed the river, they were guarded by the people who crossed the river first, and the people in charge of driving the carriages returned to escort the second batch of carriages and wagons across the ice.

With so many horses and carts, even if one or two slipped, they were quickly pulled over and there was no chaos.

After careful observation, Yang Song whispered, "Sir, the horseshoes and wheels of the Baijiabao caravan are all wrapped in anti-skid materials, and the soles of the caravan's shoes are probably the same."

It was indeed a large caravan, so fully prepared. I’m afraid the Baijiabao caravan had known that they would encounter such a situation in Qingquan River.

"Yes." Seeing that Bai Tao's carriage had also begun to step onto the ice, Lu Xiaohao said, "Let's go, let's cross the river too."

Even though Yang Song had skills in martial arts, he was bound to fall a few times when walking on the ice. What he could do was to react faster than ordinary people when he fell so that he wouldn't suffer as much pain.

"Bang... Sorry, sir." Yang Song fell again, and took Lu Xiaohao with him.

Lu Xiaohao coughed twice, climbed up from the ice, and said, "Just go on your own."

At the beginning, when Lu Xiaohao was about to fall, Yang Song held him back.

But after walking on the ice for a while, the soles of his shoes were covered with ice chips, making it easier to slip. Yang Song had to keep himself steady while paying attention to Lu Xiaohao, and he was in a panic. He had just fallen down, and when he got up, he saw Lu Xiaohao slipping, so he rushed forward to hold him up.

Unexpectedly, Lu Xiaohao quickly flapped his hands to steady his body, but Yang Song slipped again, and he brought Lu Xiaohao down as he had finally stood firm.

The two of them walked crookedly on the ice like drunken geese.

On the sidewalk next to them, the people from the Baijiabao caravan, young and old, big and small, walked very steadily.

When passing by, they would stare at them leisurely for a while and talk about them.

Yang Song and Lu Xiaohao supported each other: "..."

The two men soon discovered that the caravan members, young and old, after following the horse-drawn carriages and pack carts across the river, would consciously guard things on the other side, waiting for the rest of the people to cross the river, and would never run around.

Even if there was some noise nearby, the caravan members would not look around, and would not leave the things they were guarding.

Such actions would be impossible without long-term training and strict discipline.

A trace of thought flashed across Lu Xiaohao's brows. What was the origin of this Baijiabao caravan?
While Yang Song admired him, he was also wondering, the Baijiabao caravan was so powerful, why had he never heard of it before?
How could they know that everyone in Taohua Village, young or old, guarded the things carefully, not because they had received much training, but because they were afraid that the things would be lost if they were careless.

We had nothing when we escaped from the village. All these assets were accumulated bit by bit along the way. If it weren't for my aunt, many people would have starved to death or frozen to death.

Many of these things were given by my aunt. It’s enough for people in my own village to know about them. If they are lost, it will be a big trouble.

小孩子虽然爱玩，可也更加纯粹，再调皮的孩子也怕爹娘揍。

What's more, the adults at home said that as long as they didn't run around and looked after the things carefully, they would be given two candied haws and a bag of bubble gum tomorrow, so they would naturally not leave at all.

Not to mention the elderly men and women in Taohua Village. Due to their age, they can't squeeze in even if there is a crowd.

They also know that if they don't keep a close eye on their things and they are stolen, then others will be the ones watching them make a fuss.

Besides, what excitement could be more interesting than the stories told by my aunt?

They are already old, if they can't even take care of things properly, how can they have the face to appear in front of me.

Not to mention that some people lost things after crossing the river bank, even if someone fell in front of them, they would probably just let them crawl to the side and not block the way.

Soon, everyone in Taohua Village crossed the river.

After gathering at an open space on the river bank, Bai Dashan and his men were busy running around, and soon the sound of one, two, three, four could be heard everywhere...

After a while, Bai Dashan ran back to the carriage that Bai Tao was riding in.

"Aunt, I've already called the roll. All the members of each group and team are here. No one is left out." The method taught by the aunt is indeed powerful.

After the personnel are arranged, every time you count the number of people, you just need to let them call out their names, confirm the number of people, and you will know the result quickly.

"Okay." Bai Tao responded and yawned.

She got up too early and is still a little sleepy.

"Auntie, the people who went to investigate have returned. There is nothing unusual in the surrounding four or five miles."

Thank you for the tip, little cutie. Love you~~~
