The further you go inside, the fewer tourists there are, and as time passes, the sun sinks into the horizon, and the night is approaching, and the moon is already hanging in the sky before it is completely dark.

Ye Kai drove the car up a small slope, pulled the door and got out of the car.

Due to the lack of light, the mountains in the distance can no longer be seen, and from this small hillside, you can see green grasslands all around.

Not far away there is a building, not much like Battle's house.

Yurts are really rarely seen, more are buildings, and Ye Kai has not seen many Mongolians living in yurts along the way.

Ye Kai used the vehicle to block the wind and began to build his nest for tonight on this hillside.

As soon as the bracket was fixed, a Mongolian on horseback appeared beside Ye Kai with a flock of sheep and asked, "Is there anything you need help with?"

"No, thank you. ”

The person who talked to Ye Kai was in his twenties, very young, and wore jeans.

After looking at the sky, he turned over and dismounted and said, "I'll help, it's hard to ride when it's dark for a while, do you want to make a fire?"

"Thank you. Ye Kai said, "You don't need to make a fire, you have everything in the car." ”

Light a fire to keep warm and cook things, and Ye Kai doesn't need both, all kinds of fast food in the car can make Ye Kai eat for several days, and there are three boxes of mineral water, and boiling water is saved.

In the midst of his busyness, the young Mongolian suddenly asked, "The ...... Are you Ye Kai?"

"Ah, it's me, you know me?"

He smiled and clapped his hands vigorously, and said excitedly: "I like to read the books you wrote, I have read both books, and then I found your Weibo and have been following ......"

It turned out to be the reader.

The two of them quickly set up the tent in less than ten minutes.

When it was finished, it wasn't even completely dark, and at this time, Ye got in the car and turned on the lights, which frightened the surrounding sheep and hurriedly left the light source.

Ye Kai said to the young Mongolian, "What's your name?"

"Just call me Munch, that's my house over there, go to my house for dinner." He pointed to the house not far away and said, very enthusiastic, "It's so late, it's too troublesome for you to do it yourself." ”

"Then my tent ......"

"Very few people come here, you just put your valuables in the car. ”

Ye Kai saw that the house was not far away, and also said, "Okay." ”

The house looked close, but in fact it was five or six hundred meters, and the open environment on the grassland made people have no idea about the distance.

Similar to Battle's house, there is also a yard here.

The first thing I saw when I walked into the courtyard was an elderly woman in an apron, estimated to be in her seventies, probably Munch's grandmother.

"Grandma, I'm back. ”

"Huh?" Ye Kai was stunned.

Is this Munch a mainlander or a Mongolian?

The old man looked up at Ye Kai, smiled kindly, and said, "Are there any guests coming?"

Ye Kai hurriedly said, "tasainu!"

This sentence means "hello" in Mongolian, and he still doesn't know Mongolian, but it is still easy to remember some simple dialogues and short sentences after a few days.

Munch said: "This is a writer in the mainland, I saw him on the grassland in front of the house, and invited him to the house to have a meal together. ”

"Of course, you're welcome. ”

Ye Kai thanked him vigorously.

This old man is quite healthy, his bones have not shrunk at such an age, and he can still walk with his back straight, which many elderly people can't do.

Munch took out a low table from the house and put it on the blanket in the yard, and said, "Time is in a hurry, just eat a little, don't you drink?"

"You can have a drink, I have a question, have you lived here since you were a child?"

It's too much like a mainlander.

In addition to the enthusiasm of the grassland people towards guests, Ye Kai also saw those self-familiar shadows in the city, as long as he answered a sentence, he could answer seven or eight sentences.

The Mongolians are enthusiastic, but Ye Kai has not seen Mongolian chatterbox until now.

"No, my parents both work in Xi'an, and I grew up in Xi'an. My grandfather passed away, and I didn't get into college, so I went back to my hometown to take care of my grandmother. ”

No wonder.

........................

said that it was simple to eat something casually, but the food on the table was still very rich, with meat and vegetables, and Meng Ke also recommended his own milk wine.

It's not bad, it's fragrant, and there's a milky smell.

Seeing that his grandmother was still cooking in the kitchen, Meng Ke didn't eat, and said to Ye Kai: "Why don't I sing a song for you?" ”

"Don't!"

Meng Ke is not a native of Mongolian, but a peer who has received an education in the mainland, and his age is not much different from Ye Kai, so he speaks a lot more casually.

If there is music when eating in Mongolia, then the singing is continuous, and the wine is over, and they don't want to stop until they finish singing.

"I'm a good singer. Munch laughed and went into the house and pulled out his guitar.

When Meng Ke walked out with a guitar, Ye Kai was really surprised, Ye Kai would not be surprised by the horse-head piano, harmonica, or tambourine or something.

But when you go to the Hulunbuir grassland and go to a herdsman's house deep in the grassland, the herdsman comes out with a guitar, which is really surprising.

It's better to enjoy other people's singing.

Munch still sings the songs of the steppe, in Mongolian.

Singing Mongolian folk songs with guitar accompaniment, Ye Kai is the first time I've seen it, but it really sounds like that. A folk guitar was really played by Munch with the taste of the prairie.

Ye Kai sat cross-legged on the blanket, and on the table was the milk wine made by the family themselves, picking it up and taking a sip if he had nothing to do, listening to the high-pitched grassland songs, a kind of peace lingered in Ye Xingxing's head.

There is not so much distraction in the city, and Munch can be so happy here.

That's actually pretty good.

Ye Kai likes to travel and likes to see others live such a leisurely and happy life, but if you want to let Ye Kai live in such an uninhabited place, can he be as happy as Munch?

Ye Kai is not sure.

Some people who have been in the city all their lives do not hesitate to say, "I can." ”

But they don't know what they're facing when they come to such a place.

Occasionally visiting the grasslands or Tibetan areas and seeing the vast scenery is a kind of baptism of the soul, which can make you let go of those heavy and overwhelming things, and then continue to live in the city.

Wanting to live in this kind of place, although the scenery is unique, is equivalent to giving up everything.

If you can't give up everything, then resist the pressure of life in the city, the reality is not utopia, and no one can be an exception.

After singing a song, Munch said excitedly, "Did you hear that?"

"What?" Ye Kai asked.

"Humai, did you hear that?"

Ye Kai smiled at him and said, "Of course I heard it, did you come here to practice or did you know it before?"

"What my grandmother taught me, I used to be very interested, and it took me more than a year to learn how to call Mai when I came here, what do you think? You were the first tourist to hear me sing. ”

"Nice, I have heard someone in Ordos before, and I can always feel the Mongolian people's understanding of nature in your Humai, which is amazing. ”

Munch's eyes narrowed with a smile and said, "Thank you, that song was taught to me by my grandmother just now, and the lyrics are about nostalgia for the hometown of the grassland." ”

"Your grandmother is very powerful, Humai should have been given to you by your grandmother, right?"

"Yes, my grandma taught me a lot, she is very good, my grandma is also here, why don't I ask my grandma to come and dance for you?"

Ye Kai hurriedly stood up and waved his hand and said, "No, no, no, this is not necessary." ”

People are dozens of years old and still come to dance for you? The big leaders don't dare to do this when they come to this kind of place to condole, what is your Ye Kai's identity?

"It's okay, I'll ask my grandma to come over. He stood up and prepared to go out, but Ye Kai still wanted to persuade him to give up this idea.

Meng Ke turned back to Ye Kai and said, "My grandmother really wants to perform another song or dance, she used to be a member of the Ulan Herdsman, and she has always missed those days. ”

"Ulan herdsman?"

"Oh, you don't know yet. He talked to Ye Kai about the Ulan herdsman with great interest,

This is a grassland performance team established in the 50s, Inner Mongolia has a vast territory, scattered population, inconvenient transportation, and many pastoral areas can only meet one or two yurts after walking hundreds of miles.

In order to enrich the cultural life of the herdsmen, it is necessary to establish a performance contingent that is lightly equipped, well-organized, has multiple skills, and is easy to move.

Thus began the first idea of the establishment of the Ulan herdsmen. After the formation of the Ulan herdsmen, whether it was a settlement or a grazing point, as long as there was a herdsman, they performed.

Gradually, the name of the Ulan herdsman spread like fire on the grassland.

Ye Kaizheng listened to Munch tell some stories about the Ulan herdsman, and his grandmother came out with a plate of mutton and said in fluent Chinese: "It's too late to kill sheep now, and the hospitality is not considerate......"

"Where will it ......" Ye Kai stood up and took the plate.

The mutton is boiled, and the mutton in the large plate is brightly colored, which makes people feel a big appetite at a glance, and the stomach begins to growl after a day of driving.

Ye Kai didn't feel hungry before this.

"Grandma, Ye Kai is a very famous writer and a big star, don't you have a dance that you really want to perform again?

The old man didn't seem to talk about what his grandson would say, and his body sitting on the blanket began to shake from side to side uneasily.

"Well, I'm a little ......"

"It's okay, don't be nervous......"

I saw that the old man was a little moved, but maybe it was Meng Ke's words just now that Ye Kai was a star that made the old man a little nervous.

Ye Kai could only encourage her with a smile.

"That'...... Then I'll go change my clothes and change my dirty clothes. ”

After the old man left, Ye Kai sighed, he was a little worried about whether the old man's body could still dance, if there was a ......

I don't dare to think about it.

Meng Ke saw Ye Kai's somewhat embarrassed expression and said, "Grandma often practiced. ”

Fifteen minutes later, Grandma was back in the yard.

All the clothes have been changed, and I have a haircut by the way, the pants are very similar to breeches, but they should have been re-cut, and the clothes are also very close-fitting, black, with a high neck.

It looks like it has a sense of traditional fashion.

Meng Ke began to play his guitar and sing Inner Mongolian folk songs that have been passed down for countless years, and it is also a song that is widely circulated in the outside world, called Hongyan.

Grandma's body does not resemble a seventy-year-old man at all.

With the slow tone of the wild goose, the grandmother's arms spread out and danced in a wavy shape, with her left foot in front and her right foot behind, slowly bending down in a cross-legged position.

Then he slowly stood up and spun his body, his body as light as a white swan flying over the grassland.

Ye Kai slowly clapped his hands gently with the rhythm, like a loyal fan watching his idol's performance live, immersed and intoxicated.

Grandma's performance did not make Ye Kai feel embarrassed, but danced very well.

even made Ye Kai forget the fact that she was seventy years old.

Ye Kai feels that there are three kinds of dances that can best cultivate a person's temperament, one of which is the classical dance of China, Mongolia is deeply influenced by Han culture, and the dance also has the charm of classical dance.

God is in the middle and outside, and the unique oriental beauty of combining rigidity and softness is incomparably intoxicating.

Age and beauty may not necessarily have anything to do with each other.

If you have a temperament hidden in your body, the years will never defeat the beauty.

"The wild goose to the sky, how far away the sky is. Drink the wine dry and fill it again, and if you don't get drunk tonight, you won't return it......"

Ye Kai's lips opened slightly, and he sang this song with Munch, the difference is that Munch sings in Mongolian, while Ye Kai sings the Chinese version.

After the song and dance ended, Ye Kai stood up and shook his head and said incredulously: "This is really beautiful, like a shadow, like a shadow, wow, great." ”

said it twice in a row, which was the only adjective Ye Kai could think of.

The wish was fulfilled, and the guests liked it very much, the tension in grandma's heart finally slowly put down, sat cross-legged on the side of the table, wiped the fine beads of sweat on her head, and said to Ye Kai: "Good boy, sit down, sit down." ”

Ye Kai even sighed when he sat down, is the gene of Mongolian singing and dancing so good?

When I had dinner in Ordos before, more than a dozen people were very good at singing, and the high and low tones came easily. Leaving Ordos, he came to the Hulunbuir grassland, and even went deep into the hinterland.

When I met an ordinary herdsman, it was enough for a young boy to play the guitar and sing, and even a seventy-year-old grandmother was so powerful.

Sit down and start eating.

Ye Kai has been hungry for mutton for a long time, and only after persuading his grandmother to eat the vegetables first did Ye Kai start to taste the mutton made by the herdsmen's house, and it was really different from the mutton flavor that he had eaten in the jar before.

When my grandmother was young, she was also a person who walked through the south and the north.

Anyone in the Ulan herdsmen can not only perform wonderful programs on stage, but also cook and laundry off stage. In some cases, it is even necessary to repair household appliances for farmers and herdsmen and disseminate scientific and cultural knowledge.

This meal was the most comfortable meal Ye Kai had in Mongolia.

There are three people who eat together, no more, no less, and they don't feel lonely or how lively they are. The mild milk wine is not intoxicating, but you can feel the warmth contained in the sake.

Eating fragrant mutton, I listened to my grandmother's story of walking on the grassland.

It will not be surprising that such an excellent older generation can cultivate such an excellent young man as Munch.
