The straight-line distance from Yumen Pass to Luntai City where the Protectorate of the Western Regions is located is not far.

It's about three or four hundred kilometers.

but……

In this era, there is no expressway that builds bridges when encountering mountains and rivers. When encountering mountains, one has to detour, and when encountering rivers without bridges, one has to detour.

Invisibly, a big circle was made.

And it is not so easy to take these more than a thousand people on the road than when they came.

After all, you can't expect these immigrants to be able to afford horses. Occasionally there are a few mules and horses. These people are like family members who love and care, and they are not willing to let their livestock be tired.

Looking at the people who were walking slowly, the heads of all the sergeants were a little big.

But this is also impossible...

Escorting this kind of job itself is no better than others, besides... These people are going to Luntai City to help them farm, so they can't just turn around and leave no matter how anxious they are? ?

Just like that, a group of people walked slowly towards Luntai City.

At noon, I left Yumen Pass, but it was almost dusk, and I hadn't walked 20 kilometers away.

Seeing that it was getting dark, Huo An had no choice but to find a place slightly closer to the cliff and set up camp temporarily.

Walking on the grassland at night? ?

I'm afraid you haven't been bitten by wolves...

You know, wolves can be called a tyrant on the grassland.

There are dozens of small ones in a group, and hundreds of big ones, and the wolves are extremely cunning. Under the command of the head wolf, they even dare to attack small groups of troops... and they often succeed. So people on the grassland fear wolves, and this fear is also mixed with some worship.

There are no tents or anything...

The relocated households skillfully surrounded the things they brought with them in an orderly manner as a temporary barrier, while they themselves began to bury their pots for cooking.

They have long been proficient in this set of skills.

After all, they had been traveling for almost a month from their hometown to Yumen Pass. The skill of setting up a camp is almost too familiar.

Huo An and others were helping the resettlers prepare to set up camp, while Zhou Ye led a group of women to fetch water.

After all, water is needed for cooking, and after walking all the way, they have already used up the water they brought with them.

"Brother Zhou, are there a lot of wolves on the grassland?" At this time, Xiuqing followed Zhou Ye with two water bags in one hand and a bucket... She asked curiously, "Why did General Huo Are there so many traps outside the camp?"

Hearing Xiuqing's words, Zhou Ye smiled and said, "On the grassland, the most terrifying thing is not barbarian robbers, nor snowstorms, but wolves..."

"Why??" Xiuqing blinked her big eyes, looking at Zhou Ye...

"The pass is densely populated, so there won't be many wild beasts!" Zhou Ye explained, "But in the Western Regions, there are few people... It's normal to see no people within a hundred miles, so the wolves are here. There are almost no natural enemies...and the wild wolves are cunning by nature, they never fight with the big army, and they will flee thousands of miles if they see something bad...so, it is difficult to completely eliminate them!"

"It turned out to be like this!!" Xiuqing said with a look of admiration: "Brother Zhou, you are so knowledgeable and talented!!"

"Hehe..." Zhou Ye laughed awkwardly... Shouldn't this kind of thing be common sense? ? Can this also be called erudition? ?

Or...anyone in later generations, even if he has not graduated from junior high school, can become a learned man back in ancient times.

After all, the amount of information received is completely different.

In ancient times, people basically transmitted information by word of mouth, but if you want to understand the slips, you have to be able to read and break characters. It's a pity that in this era, the popularity rate of culture is very low.

It is also because of this that people in this era have very little knowledge, and things that are common sense in the eyes of later generations are completely unknown here.

Some people have done statistics, and it is said that the amount of information received by modern people in a day is more than the amount of information received by people in ancient times in a few months.

Therefore, it is said that even a semi-literate person in modern times is enough to pretend to be a polymath when he returns to ancient times.

Along the way, like a million whys, Xiuqing kept asking Zhou Ye various questions...and Zhou Ye patiently answered them one by one.

The women following behind them all looked at Xiuqing with envious eyes...

They also want to talk to Zhou Ye, but it's a pity that they are already married... Moreover, Zhou Ye will never treat them as patiently as Xiuqing, there is no way - who made Zhou Ye the leader of the appearance party? ?

While speaking, Zhou Ye had brought everyone to the edge of a lake...

One by one, the women took the containers they brought and fetched water by the lake...

Xiuqing also cautiously walked to the edge of the lake, wanting to bend down to fetch water. However, at this moment, her foot slipped and she fell into the lake...

"Ah!!" Xiuqing couldn't help screaming, and closed her eyes...

From her point of view, this time, she might wet her dress... However, at this moment, Xiuqing suddenly felt her slender waist being embraced from behind. There was also a familiar voice... "Be careful..."

Xiuqing felt a gust of hot air blowing against her ears, making her ears itch. At the same time, a pleasant smell, with a hint of sunshine, also rushed into her nasal cavity... She knew, that It belongs to Zhou Ye's taste.

Because when she talks to Zhou Ye, she always smells this kind of smell from time to time.

When she realized who was holding her waist from behind, Xiuqing's little face turned red to her neck.

After Zhou Ye carried her to a safe place, Xiuqing said in a low voice, "Thank you, Brother Zhou!!"

"You're welcome..." Zhou Ye said while gently biting Xiuqing's earlobe...

This time, Xiuqing was stunned...

She felt that the place where she was touched was like being bitten by lightning, and the electric current spread along her ears to her whole body... making her unable to move.

Seeing the little beauty in his arms, who was so disturbed by him that he didn't dare to move, Zhou Ye couldn't help teasing, "Xiuqing smells so good..."

Xiuqing also came to her senses at this time, she couldn't help lowering her head, and said in a low voice: "Brother Zhou, you...you are so dead!!"

"Hehe...Okay, let's go get water..." Zhou Ye looked around at the women fetching water. Many people had noticed their little tricks and were looking at them with great interest. Posture...

Alas, it's not good to have too many people...

"Hmm!" At this time, Xiuqing also noticed the strange gazes of those women... She nodded slightly shyly, and began to fill the water.

Zhou Ye looked at Xiuqing's heart curve that was revealed because of bending over... thinking a little depressingly - if there were not so many people at this time, it would be great.
