Horse Gangs are a unique mode of transportation in the southwest region and are also the main means of transportation on the ancient Tea-Horse Road.

Faced with the dangerous environment that changes at any time, a special way of survival with life and death, a strict organization and gang rules for horse gangs, as well as unique gang taboos and jargons.

With the convenience of modern transportation, horse gangs gradually declined, but in some areas where automobiles and highways are blocked in the southwest, horse gang transportation is still the main means of transportation.

This is a horse gang team composed of ten people, with thirty Tengyue horses carrying goods on it.

The horse gang head is a man in his fifties, short and dark-skinned, with the appearance and dress unique to the southwest.

Tang Xiaomi happily went up to chat with the horse gang. After talking for a long time, the horse gang shook his head with a dull expression.

The horse gang leader can't speak Mandarin, and Tang Xiaomi talked for a long time.

"I'll do it."

Gu Youqing walked forward and communicated with the horse gang head in the southwest dialect.

The horse gang head initially shook his head and refused, but after Gu Youqing's persuasion, he finally nodded and agreed.

Gu Youqing said to Tang Xiaomi: "The horse gang leader agreed and freed up a horse for the master to use, but you will be wronged to walk."

Tang Xiaomi shook her head: "I don't care, as long as you don't let Fengjiu walk."

After saying that, Tang Xiaomi took out a stack of money from her bag and didn't count it and stuffed it to the horse gang leader.

The latter waved his hand to refuse and said something Tang Xiaomi couldn't understand.

Gu Youqing translated: "He said that help is not a fee. The horse gang has its own rules. The money earned from transporting goods cannot be reduced, and the help of others cannot be required."

"The people in the mountains are simple!" Tang Xiaomi exclaimed.

With the help of the horse gang, the three of them were able to travel a hundred miles a day.

But horse gangs never travel at night.

The southwest has dangerous mountains and rivers, the roads are rugged, and the roads are very dangerous when walking at night. If you accidentally fall off a cliff, you will never get up again.

The horse gang in front shouted at the top of his voice, and everyone shouted in response.

Tang Xiaomi looked puzzled, Gu Youqing explained that this was urging everyone to rush to rush, and it would light up when it came to the front.

"What is Kailiang?" Tang Xiaomi turned her head and asked.

Gu Youqing said: "This is the slogan of the horse gang. It is camping when it is bright. They have their own fixed camping spots. They have to rush there to sleep in the open after dark. They have been delayed on the road. The horse gang head was urging everyone to speed up just now."

Gu Youqing also explained many horse gang jars to Tang Xiaomi, such as opening the stage, beating gongs, and various rules during meals.

"The horse gang has always adhered to the rules left by our ancestors from ancient times to the present, and never dared to violate them. This is also the reason why the horse gang has been passed down to this day."

As they spoke, it was already dark. The people of the horse gang lit the torches in their hands, winding on the mountain road like a fire dragon.

An hour later, the horse gang finally arrived at the bright spot.

It is located halfway up the mountain, with shelter from the wind on one side, flat and dry, and is most suitable for overnight stays.

The people in the horse braces first unloaded the goods on the horse's back, then put the horses in the forest and let them find food on their own, and then buried the pot to make rice, pick up firewood, and wash rice, and were very busy.

Gu Youqing did not stand by and went up to help, talking and laughing with the people in the horse gang, as friendly as a fellow villager.

Tang Xiaomi said: "Why did they let the horse run away? What should I do if I rush to the road tomorrow?"

Bai Fengjiu was amused by Tang Xiaomi's innocence.

"These horses have become human and will come back tomorrow morning."

Tang Xiaomi made a sudden enlightenment and nodded.

The meal started half an hour later.

The first bowl of rice was served in the horse gang, and then the talents of the horse gang served rice one after another according to their seniority.

A young man ran over with his bowl, raised it to Tang Xiaomi diligently, spoke in dialect, and gestured with his hands to eat for Tang Xiaomi.

Tang Xiaomi said thank you and took it with a smile. The young man was very happy, but he couldn't laugh the next second.

Tang Xiaomi held the rice bowl and turned around and approached Bai Fengjiu.

"Fengjiu, have a meal."

Bai Fengjiu reached out to pick her up, but Tang Xiaomi avoided her.

"You are in poor health, I'll feed you. Oh, open your mouth, you're so good!"

The muscles in the corners of the horse gang man twitched twice, his fists gradually tightened, he glared at Bai Fengjiu fiercely, and turned around and left.

After dinner, Tang Xiaomi helped them clean the pot and wash the dishes. The young man ran over again and smiled and brushed the pot with Tang Xiaomi. After that, he picked a handful of wild flowers and gave it to Tang Xiaomi.

Gu Youqing couldn't help but frown when he saw this scene.

In his mind, Tang Xiaomi has become the master's wife. This kid dares to attack the master's wife. He is really impatient to live.

"I'll go and warn him!"

Gu Youqing stood up, but was stopped by Bai Fengjiu.

"Everyone has a love affair when they first started. Xiaomi is beautiful, and it is not uncommon to be chased by others. It is abnormal to have no one to chase him. He is just a child, so as long as it is not excessive, don't worry about it."

Gu Youqing pondered for a moment, nodded, and sat next to Bai Fengjiu, but his eyes were staring at the boy's every move.

As long as he dared to make inappropriate actions, Gu Youqing would twist his head off when he went up.

Tang Xiaomi quickly got along with the people in the horse gang. Although she couldn't speak, she could also communicate with her gestures and gestures.

The nights of the horse gang are relatively boring. They do not have the entertainment projects of urban youth, no electronic products, no bars, and ktv. Their entertainment is relatively simple, and they are arm wrestling.

Tang Xiaomi was the referee. The two young men placed their elbows on a flat stone. At her command, they grinned and competed with each other.

After several rounds of competition, the young man who showed his attentiveness to Tang Xiaomi won a great victory. He waved his arms and shouted, showing his muscles to everyone, and showing off his figure to Tang Xiaomi.

The young man turned his head, looked at Bai Fengjiu on the side, showed a smile on his lips, and then walked over.

"I want to compete with you!" the young man said in dialect.

Gu Youqing replied: "Sorry, my master is feeling uncomfortable!"

The young man ignored Gu Youqing and looked at Bai Fengjiu with a provocative look.

"Are you scared? Pretend to be sick? A real man is never afraid of challenges." He raised his arms and showed his biceps.

"A real man never shows off what he has and what he shows off is what he lacks."

Bai Fengjiu smiled and answered him in the southwestern dialect.

The young man's mouth twitched, his eyes harshly took a step forward.

Gu Youqing stood up and stood in front of him, his eyes cold.

"Haji! Don't mess around!"

The horse gang head in the distance sucked the hookah and slowly called out the young man's name.

The young man glared at Gu Youqing unwillingly and turned around and left.

The horse gang leader is a good person. Not only did he borrow a horse for Bai Fengjiu, he also set up a tent for Bai Fengjiu and the others to live in at night.

Tang Xiaomi lifted the curtain: "Xiaoqing, it's cold outside, come in and have a rest."

Gu Youqing shook his head: "You and Master, rest, I will help them watch the night later."

Tang Xiaomi did not force her to put down the door curtain, support Bai Fengjiu to lie down, and then lie beside him.

The mountain wind broke out in the middle of the night, and Gu Youqing took over and took a walk, but no abnormalities were found.

He found a big stone to sit down, sat cross-legged and meditated, closed his eyes to rest, and suddenly there was a sound of horses neighing from the mountain.

The horse gang head then came out of the tent, staring at the mountain with an anxious expression.
