Chapter 79 Catching up

The heavy rain lasted for thirteen days. On the ninth day, Hua Kai saw the last caravan of the Han family also began to travel in the rain. Most of the caravans in Guangxian can only eat raw meat to fill their stomachs, except for the Hua family caravan.

On the morning of the fourteenth day, the weather was clear and the Hua family caravan began to pack up the tents and prepare to set off.

Yesterday, Hua Kai took out ten [Rejuvenation Pills] and turned them into water for everyone in the caravan to drink. Today, everyone is in very good condition. The caravan started to travel and all the wheels were stuck in the mud. Everyone took turns pushing the wheels forward.

In the morning, everyone traveled for more than five hours and walked less than 40 miles. Although everyone was tired, they were in good spirits.

At noon, the sun came out and shone on the grassland like a big steamer. The grassland is like this. In the morning, everyone was still wearing thick leather clothes, but at noon, it was too hot to wear clothes. The caravan is now most looking forward to meeting the herdsmen tribe and exchanging some dry cow dung for them to make fire and cook.

The ground was a little dry in the afternoon, and the caravan finally had a much easier time. When they walked to the evening, they suddenly saw a caravan ahead struggling to make their way. They walked up and saw that it was another caravan of the caravan. Hua Kai remembered that this caravan had been traveling in the rain on the eighth day of the heavy rain. Unexpectedly, they were still here after six days. The other party saw the Hua family caravan coming and a person in charge came over. "Captain Song, why is your caravan still here? Did you encounter any difficulties?" Hua Kai asked. "Alas! The caravan has already used up the cow dung for fire. Many people who have eaten raw meat in the past few days have diarrhea. They are also caught in the rain. Almost half of them can't get up. I think our caravan can only rest in the Aohan tribe for one year this year." The leader of the Song family said worriedly. If there is no other way, the caravan will have to go home anyway. They brought most of the main forces of the family out. If they don't go back this winter, I don't know if the family can still hold on. "So serious? Let me see if we can help!" Hua Kai remembered that the Song family had borrowed horses from the Hua family and had always been very good to the Hua family. The Song family caravan brought more than 30 fine horses, more than 100 strong horses, and some nags were captured from the battles of the caravan.

Their caravan had about 60 members, and the slaves brought more than 80 people, which was relatively normal. However, many of these slaves followed the caravan with gritted teeth and insisted on following the caravan. Some members of the Song family caravan lay on the carriage and looked dying.

In this case, let alone going home, it would be good for the Song family to reach the Aohan tribe safely. Hua Kai looked around the Song family caravan and shook his head, saying that he could do nothing to help.

Watching the Hua family caravan surpassing the Song family caravan little by little, Hua Kai got on his horse and said goodbye to the leader of the Song family. At this time, the leader of the Song family called him.

"Master Hua, I know that our Song family is doomed this year. It is right for the Hua family caravan to stay and wait for the rain to stop. I hope the Hua family can help the Song family bring back a few carriages. I will send the strongest team members to ensure that they will not cause trouble for the Hua family caravan. As long as they are attacked, the Hua family can help them."

Team leader Song wanted to let some healthy team members take some valuable goods back to Guang County first, so that their family would have less pressure, and wait until next year when their main force will go back, so that their family's business trip will not be considered a failure.

"Team leader Song, I have a way to let the Song family caravan return to Guang County this year in exchange for the Song family's full help. I wonder if Team Leader Song is willing to listen." Hua Kai said when he thought of the Hua family caravan still had so many dried spirit cattle.

"What method? As long as the Hua family can save the Song family, let alone help once, the Hua family will be the best friend of the Song family in the future." Team leader Song said excitedly.

"Don't get excited yet, listen to me..." Hua Kai told Team Leader Song how the Hua family prevented members from getting sick, but he was not stupid enough to tell everyone about giving them the [Rejuvenation Pill]. "That's great! The Song family is willing to buy 100 kilograms of dried spirit beef for 200 gold. Thank you so much this time! The Hua family will definitely repay you for your kindness in the future." Team Leader Song said gratefully. Even for ordinary aristocratic caravans, it is difficult to get a dried spirit cow on the grassland. Dried spirit cows are usually only available in large tribes, and you can't buy them just by paying. The Song family leader has always promised that he will not leak the news that the Hua family has dried spirit cows, but Hua Kai doesn't care about that. With the strength of the four Qi training masters in the Hua family, it is not easy to snatch the dried spirit cow. "I see that many members of the Song family are seriously ill. Even with the dried spirit beef, it is difficult to recover in a short time. I have a [Rejuvenation Pill] that I have kept and have not used. If the leader Song needs it, I can transfer it to the Song family." Hua Kai looked at the status of the Song family members and said.

Many caravans would prepare pills when they went to the grassland for business, and some families would also prepare one or two pills for emergency. The pills prepared by the Song family were used up before they arrived at the Huhan tribe. He did not expect that the Hua family also prepared a healing pill.

At this moment, the leader of the Song family was deeply moved. A [Rejuvenation Pill] could save the life of a core member of the family at a critical moment, and it would never be used unless it was the most critical moment.

"The Song family understands the intentions of the Hua family. In the future, if the Hua family has any difficulties, only we can do it. Just speak up..."

The leader of the Song family said a lot of touching words. Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Hua Kai simply asked the caravan to stop and set up camp on the spot. He asked his fifth uncle to cut 100 kilograms of dried spirit beef and send it to the Song family caravan.

At night, when everything was settled, Hua Kai came to the Song family caravan and saw that they were sharing spiritual beef with everyone. He came to the main account of the Song family.

"This [Rejuvenation Pill] will be given to Team Leader Song, plus the dried spiritual beef, which is worth 300 gold. Hurry up and dissolve it in water and give it to the team members to drink. Everyone will be full of energy tomorrow." Hua Kai said.

Although Team Leader Song didn't understand why Hua Kai wrapped such a precious pill in sheepskin casually, wouldn't it lose the medicinal properties? But he didn't think much about it, picked it up and smelled it under his nose, and nodded with satisfaction.

All caravan leaders are experts in identification. They have experienced a lot and have a wide range of knowledge. Therefore, the leader of a caravan may not be the strongest, but he must have the most knowledge.

Of course, it is not ruled out that some big families let some direct descendants who know nothing manage the caravan. They are not for making money, but for honing talents.

The next day, everyone in the Hua family caravan was given a piece of dried spirit beef. Since the caravan could not make a fire recently, the Hua family gave everyone a portion of dried spirit beef three times a day so that everyone would have the strength to travel.

After a night of rest, many people in the Song family caravan became full of energy as if they had experienced a new life. Even the slaves walked vigorously. In the morning, the leader Song came to the main tent of the Hua family to thank Hua Kai for coming and promised that he would never reveal the matter of the dried spirit beef.

Today, the accumulated water on the grassland has become much tighter after being absorbed by the grassland for a day. It is not so difficult for the carriage to walk on the grassland, and the caravan can finally walk normally.

The Hua family caravan walked in front, and the Song family caravan followed. In order to ensure that the caravan behind could keep up, Hua Kai did not let his caravan walk too fast, about 30 miles per hour. At noon, he saw that the Song family could not keep up with him, so he stopped. In this way, they walked 120 miles in the morning.

The way home is like this. It is easy as long as there are no accidents, because all caravans can basically have a horse. So at night, they finally saw a small tribe, and here the Hua family actually saw the Ren family caravan was also here.

Many members of the Ren family and the other three caravans in Guang County were also sick. After more than ten days of heavy rain, the caravan members were almost at their limit both physically and mentally. The four families all planned to stop and rest this year.

Hua Kai was familiar with the person in charge of the Ren family. At night, after the caravan exchanged dry cow dung from this small tribe, made a fire and ate a meal of fresh roasted lamb, he came to the main tent of the Ren family.

When the Ren family heard that Hua Kai was willing to provide 150 kilograms of air-dried spiritual beef and a [Rejuvenation Pill] to help the Ren family catch up with the Han family caravan in front, they happily took Hua Kai's hand and thanked him directly.

When the next morning came, the four caravans suddenly found that everyone who was sick to death yesterday in each caravan suddenly revived with full blood today. Everyone looked in the direction of the Hua family caravan, but no one said anything.

The six caravans joined together, and the Hua family, as the first leader, tried to walk more than 200 miles every day. When they were 1,000 miles away from the Huhan tribe, they met the Jia family and the Zhang family. On August 6, the Hua family and the Jia family caught up with the Han family caravan 400 miles away from the Aohan tribe.

At this time, the 12 caravans in Guang County miraculously gathered together again. The Han family was surprised that everyone could keep up with the pace of the caravan, but they did not notice that the attitudes of all the caravan leaders towards the Hua family caravan were completely different.

On August 8, the Guang County caravan entered the Aohan tribe, and the Aohan tribe was still very lively at this time. The goods in the market here are much more than those in the Huhan tribe, at least there is no sheep market in the Huhan tribe.

The Hua family caravan sold all the strong and weak horses that could not be upgraded in the caravan, and Hua Kai thought about it and sold some of the horses.

A horse in the Aohan tribe costs about 10 gold, which is twice as expensive as that in the Huhan tribe. The Hua family cannot bring too many things if they want to cross the Panlong Eighteen Bends and Hutuo Mountain.

Finally, after streamlining, the Hua family caravan only left 350 horses and 300 strong horses. The black horse and all the BMWs must not be sold. The Hua family sold more than 400 horses at once, and had more than 1,200 gold in their hands.

Before returning home, they had already gained thousands of gold, and everyone was very happy. When Hua Kai came to the market, he couldn't help but visit the spiritual medicine market, slave market, and horse market.

All the goods here are more than twice as expensive as those in the Huhan tribe, but Hua Kai still bought 2 slaves with A- qualifications, 6 spiritual medicines of various levels, and 3 horses that can be promoted to BMWs, spending a total of 450 gold.

In the evening, Hua Kai thought for a long time and finally came to the main account of the Han family caravan. He took the initiative to talk to the Han family about the credit of the dried spiritual cattle for his caravan to keep up.

Although the Han family caravan was very curious about why the Hua family had dried spiritual beef, they only praised the Hua family's selfless behavior and did not ask the truth.

The subordinate family is not the slave of the master family. As long as the subordinate family can obey the master family when needed, it means that his mission has been completed. Of course, the master family must give certain benefits every time. As for some family secrets, they are the foundation of their survival, and the master family has no right to ask!
