The Naqu prairie is the main area for herdsmen in northern Tibet, and at this time it is the end of winter and spring, the grass on the grassland grows very fast, and this trail has not been walked for a long time, the more you enter the depths of the grassland, the more difficult the road is to distinguish, through the last ray of light on the horizon, Zhou Rui looked at the boundless grassland around him, and drove the car to a soil slope about five or six meters high and stopped.

"What's wrong? Brother Zhou, can't you find your way? Oh, damn it, it's so cold. ”

Liu Chuan parked the Humvee four or five meters away from the desert prince and jumped out of the car, but as soon as he got out of the car, he shivered from the cold, shrank back sharply, and after a long time, he put on a thick military coat and got out of the car, still holding two coats in his hands, but they were for Zhou Rui and Zhuang Rui.

"Why is the temperature difference so big in the morning and evening, just wear a thin sweater at noon, I'm afraid it's going to be below zero, right? Brother Zhou, the GPS GPS in my car is not displayed, how are you?"

Turning up the brown fur collar of the military coat and wrapping his ears tightly in it, Liu Chuan shrunk his neck and spoke, while handing the coat in his hand through the car window, at the beginning of 2003, the so-called global GPS positioning, that is, in those big cities, when it came to this grassland, it was like a mobile phone, and there was no way to receive a signal.

"Well, it can't be used, it's dark and I can't see the road clearly, let's spend the night here, don't turn off your car, there is no wind today, don't be afraid of causing a fire, let's light a bonfire here, barbecue something to eat first, you take back the coat and put it on for them, I have two pieces in the car." ”

Zhou Rui didn't take the coat handed over by Liu Chuan, he had prepared before he came, but he only prepared three, but he didn't expect that there would be so many people on this trip, and he was relieved to see that Liu Chuan was also prepared, you know, if you accidentally get cold and fever in the plateau, it will be fatal.

Hearing that there was a barbecue to eat, several people in the Hummer were excited, and suddenly their ability to resist the cold increased dramatically, and everyone got out of the car wearing an overcoat, although they often barbecued outdoors on weekdays, but in this dark day, the silence around them is like time has stopped turning in the vast prairie, lighting a bonfire, presumably there will be a special taste.

"Liu Chuan, you and Zhuang Rui will help clean up the grass around first, the grass in the grassland is relatively dry in winter, in case of a fire, we will all be cooked here. ”

Zhou Rui took out a sapper shovel that was only half a meter long from the trunk of the desert prince's car, and dug a pit about four or five meters away from the Humvee.

Liu Chuan agreed, ran back to the car, and when he came out again, he had already taken the two sharp mountain knives in his hands and handed them to Zhuang Rui, and the two began to clean up the dead grass on the slope, while Bai Mengan took a few ladies to gather the hay they cleaned together, and after about half an hour, the preparation was completed.

The grass within a dozen square meters around the car was cleaned up, and Zhou Rui dug a shallow pit only about 30 centimeters deep in the open space between the two cars, and picked up a handful of things from the off-road vehicle.

Zhuang Rui and the others went around to take a look, good guys, iron bars and forks about one meter long, and more than a dozen dry branches the thickness of his forearm, Liu Chuan turned to the back of the off-road vehicle slowly, he just wanted to see what Zhou Rui had put in the car, and he was even more prepared than him.

Liu Chuan took down a bucket of spare diesel fuel from the Humvee, and was about to pour it on the branches of the dead grass and trees, but was stopped by Zhou Rui.

"Don't use these diesel, the Humvee can't be turned off overnight, this oil is meant to save lives. ”

Although the two cars were full of fuel when they were in Basu County, but when they arrived here from Basu County, the fuel in the car was basically half consumed, and it should be nearly four or five hours away from the city of Naqu District.

It is also a bit of a waste to start a fire with diesel, Zhou Rui is very skillful to build a triangular shelf with dry branches, and the dead grass is full of below, after igniting, a thick smoke rises, and after a while, the fire burns, and when the branches are ignited, the bonfire has been formed.

Erect two forked branches on both sides of the bonfire, Zhou Rui used iron bars to string up the lamb bought from the county town, set up on the bonfire, not long after, the mutton that had been frozen hard became a little relaxed, waiting on the side of Zhou Rui, immediately brushed the cooking oil in his hand, after some oil droplets fell into the bonfire, made a "zizi" sound, the flame rose sharply, and rushed up more than one meter high, and the whole lamb was rolled in.

With the smoke of the "sizzling" sound, a rich smell of barbecue came out from the middle of the bonfire, this fragrance is by no means different from the taste of barbecue in the restaurant, everyone is shaking their noses, greedily smelling the aroma of meat, and Zhou Rui is the busiest person at this time, one hand is quickly turning the mutton on the shelf, in case it is scorched by the fire, and the other hand is constantly brushing the lamb with oil, and smearing cumin and other spices.

The lamb meat with added food ingredients gradually turned golden yellow under Zhou Rui's constant rolling, and the fragrance became more and more intense, how could there be meat without wine, Zhuang Rui turned around and was about to go to the car to get wine, but saw Qin Xuanbing behind him with an expectant look, the tip of his tongue stretched out slightly, and he licked his lips subconsciously, and his white face was as white as jade under the reflection of the bonfire, adding a touch of charming redness, but it made Zhuang Rui stunned.

"Wood, why are you staring at Miss Qin?"

Zhuang Rui's ears heard the sound of Liu Chuan's troubled scenery, and Qin Xuanbing also saw Zhuang Rui's eager eyes, but he didn't get angry, but his face returned to normal, which made Zhuang Rui cry out in his heart.

"I'm going to get the wine. ”

Zhuang Rui replied to Liu Chuan, walked over from Qin Xuanbing a little embarrassed, hugged the box of Luzhou Laojiao that Liu Chuan bought, and didn't look for a cup, and directly handed it to Zhou Rui, Liu Chuan and Bai Meng'an one by one.

"Fifty-two degrees, the degree is a bit low, a few years ago, I drank seventy-three degrees of Luzhou Laojiao, but now it is no longer produced. ”

After Zhou Rui took the wine bottle, he unscrewed the cap, took a sip directly from the mouth of the bottle to his mouth, smacked his mouth, and said loudly.

"Ahem...... Ahem, this degree is still low, ahem, ahem, cough......"

Bai Meng'an was carrying the wine bottle with a flushed face, and just said a word, but he was choked back again, he just took a big sip of this Luzhou Laojiao as XO, and really underestimated this pure grain wine.

"We're going to drink too, pour me a little bit. ”

Bai Meng'an's appearance did not scare a few ladies, Bai Mengyao, Lei Lei and Qin Xuanbing each took a disposable cup and were pestering Zhuang Rui to ask for wine.

"Let's drink a little, it's okay, drinking some wine in this weather can invigorate the blood and bones, just don't get drunk." ”

At this time, Zhou Rui put down the wine bottle in his hand, grabbed the end of the iron bar with his right hand, lifted the whole sheep that had been roasted flat, walked to a large piece of canvas laid on the ground by Liu Chuan, and turned his left wrist, and a very inconspicuous, only more than 20 centimeters long, dark and without any luster appeared on the tip of Zhou Rui's left finger.

I saw Zhou Rui's left hand quickly scribbling on the roasted charred sheep, like a cow, and a thin piece of mutton fell neatly into several plates on the canvas, and everyone who watched applauded loudly.

The aroma of cumin powder eliminates the smell of lamb meat very well, the slices of mutton are charred on the outside and tender on the inside, chewing in the mouth is suddenly full of fragrant, drinking wine, looking at the stars in the clear night sky, in this beautiful, wide prairie, everyone's mind has become open-minded.

"Wood, let's have a song. ”

The bottle of Luzhou Laojiao in Liu Chuan's hand was about to bottom out, chewing on the tender roast mutton in his mouth, and shouted to Zhuang Rui vaguely.

"Singing?" Zhuang Rui hesitated.

"Well, Zhuang Rui sings a song from the prairie, I heard Lei Lei say that you sing well. ”

Qin Xuanbing said unexpectedly, along the way, her behavior seems to be more and more like a normal person, often taking the initiative to chat with Zhuang Rui and Liu Chuan, and occasionally joking, the sense of estrangement that rejects people thousands of miles away has also become very weak.

"It's still Brother Zhou's song for the troops. ”

Zhuang Rui didn't want to shirk it, but he didn't think about what to sing for a while.

"I, I can't, if I sing this voice, I'll bring the wolves in. ”

Zhou Rui, who was barbecuing the second sheep, made a rare joke.

"Yes, Brother Zhuang will sing it, preferably a folk song on the grassland. ”

Since Zhuang Rui gave up the position of the Hummer to Bai Meng'an, Bai Meng'an has always been commensurate with Zhuang Rui is younger brother, but his alcohol consumption is really not very good, and he is a little drunk after a few sips, if it weren't for Bai Mengyao beside him, I'm afraid he wouldn't even be able to sit steadily.

"Then I'll sing a Mongolian song. ”

Wine strengthens people's courage, and Zhuang Rui's voice is very strong, and his singing has always been good, so he didn't shirk it anymore, stood up and sang loudly.

"The beautiful grassland, my family wind blows green grass everywhere, flowers and butterflies fly, birds sing, horses are like colorful clouds, cattle and sheep are like pearls, shepherd girls sing happily, and the world is full of ...... The herdsmen depict the happy scenery of the spring and the beauty of the picturesque, the shepherd girl sang happily all over the world, the shepherd girl sang Zhuang Rui with the strength of wine, the famous grassland folk song interpretation to the fullest, the thick and high male voice echoed in the vast grassland, everyone who listened was fascinated, stopped the movements in their hands, and looked at the radiant Zhuang Rui.

"Whew...... Oh...... Woo"

Just when Zhuang Rui's singing was about to fall, several wolf howls were heard in the distance, rendering a trace of mystery to the vast prairie.

Only Zhou Rui frowned, looked around, and said to Liu Chuan beside him: "Something is wrong, send Bai Mengan to the Humvee and take the gun down." ”

"Hey, wood, you can do it, you really recruited the wolves, copy the guys and them. ”

At this time, Bai Meng'an was already drunk, and the wolf howls around him came and went, gradually increasing, and the sound became clearer and clearer, it seemed to ring in his ears, Qin Xuanbing and the others also heard it, and their faces showed surprise, only Liu Chuan was a little excited, and shouted loudly Zhuang Rui to take the guy.

"Hurry up and get into the Humvee, get surrounded by wolves, and you'll be trapped here. ”

Seeing Liu Chuan supporting Bai Meng'an, and walking slowly towards the Humvee, Zhou Rui took a step forward, lowered his shoulders, stopped his waist and carried Bai Meng'an up, pulled the car door, and threw him in.

"Huh...... ......Shh ......Shh Phew"

"Brother Zhou, this off-road vehicle can't catch fire. ”

Zhuang Rui's reaction was not slow, just when Zhou Rui jumped up, he grabbed the mountain knife in his hand, didn't even bother to throw the wine bottle in his hand, and also got into the desert prince, just how to turn the key, the car just made a "whoosh" sound, but it couldn't catch fire, Zhuang Rui knew that it might have turned off the engine for a while, and the oil was frozen.

"Leave that car alone, hurry up, come to this car!Miss Qin, what are you doing in that car?"

Zhou Rui had already gotten into the Humvee, and when he saw the people, he was missing Qin Xuanbing, and when he looked for it again, he found that Qin Xuanbing was actually in the off-road vehicle where Zhuang Rui was, and he couldn't help shouting anxiously.

Qin Xuanbing didn't know why she got into the car, when Zhou Rui asked them to get in the car just now, she instinctively followed behind Zhuang Rui, and when she got into the car, she realized that she was wrong, Qin Xuanbing pushed the car door, and when she was about to get out of the car, she was pulled back by Zhuang Rui and closed the car door tightly.

"What are you doing? let go of me!"

Qin Xuan coldly felt that she had fallen into Zhuang Rui's arms, and suddenly a man's sweat smell with the smell of wine rushed into the tip of her nose, although it was not unpleasant, but Qin Xuanbing was still a little embarrassed, she didn't expect Zhuang Rui to be so bold at this moment.

"Don't talk, look outside. ”

Zhuang Rui's voice sounded in Qin Xuanbing's ears, and a hot breath blew through her ears, making her ears itch, and an indescribable feeling rose in her heart.

Following Zhuang Rui's voice, Qin Xuanbing looked out, and there was a rustling sound in the grass more than ten meters away, which was obviously very abnormal on a windless night.

More than a dozen points of green light shot out of the grass, and the Hummer on the other side of the bonfire suddenly lit up the six headlights on the front face, and several strong lights illuminated the grass in front of them as if it were daytime, at this time Zhuang Rui and Qin Xuanbing saw clearly that it was a wolf, more than a dozen bones were broad, but the skinny steppe wolf was lying on his stomach in the grass, ready to pounce.

Qin Xuanbing couldn't help but sweat in fright, the distance of more than ten meters is a distance for a wolf, if he had gotten out of the car just now, I am afraid that he would have been attacked by these steppe wolves.

"Zhuang Rui, there is also a ...... behind"

The sudden bright light made these wolves confused for a moment, and then slowly retreated backwards, but Qin Xuanbing immediately found that in the grass behind the off-road vehicle, there were also many green and faint lights.

"No, you must go back to the Humvee as soon as possible, and if you stay for a while, you will definitely get sick. ”

The off-road vehicle did not start, there was no heating, the temperature dropped quickly, and it was only a few minutes, Zhuang Rui already felt that his legs were a little stiff.

The Humvee also moved at this moment, first driving forward a few meters, and then slamming its tail at the door of the SUV.

"Hurry up!"

Zhou Rui opened the back door of the Hummer and shouted to Zhuang Rui and Qin Xuanbing.

When Zhuang Rui was about to open the door and get out of the car, several black shadows came out of the grass like lightning.
