Chapter 83: Music and Dance
But he said that all the people, beckoned by the old chief, sat down around the bonfire. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoAt this moment, the sand and dust have dissipated, and the last rays of sunset on the grassland have sunk into the earth, revealing the clear night sky! Everyone sits around the campfire, looking up at the stars in the night sky, and there is really a feeling of sweeping the sky and the earth.
At this moment, Zang Feng has already arranged for a group of wolves to patrol and sentry all around, and once there are any more sneak attacks by the yellow-shirted people, the 'wolves' will use the "wolf howl" as a warning signal! To say that this group of wolves, under the order of Zang Feng's telepathy, not only dig holes to save people, but also be able to drive back the flock like a sheepdog, and at this moment they are even acting as a lookout outpost, and they really deserve to be refined into a special spearhead, with unique skills, and they can't do anything! Zang Feng has also become the 'wolf boss' and 'carry the handle' of this group of wolves!
As a result, after experiencing the violent sand in the morning and the thrilling rescue in the afternoon, everyone was finally able to settle down for a while. Because the tent of the camp was still surrounded by yellow sand, these herdsmen from the Western Regions, who had always been good at nomadic herding, had already quickly set up several small tents for everyone to rest at night.
The herdsmen experienced this disaster, although the losses were heavy, but also to the greatest extent to save the livestock belongings, the most important, with the help of Lu Lianshan, Zang Feng and others, rescued all the trapped clan, the old and young, everyone was dissatisfied and happy, and continued to hand Lu Lianshan and others just roasted fragrant lamb chops, lamb legs and other things. The four sisters in spring, summer, autumn and winter even sent freshly squeezed milk and goat's milk to thank the four uncles who saved the lives of her four sisters. At this moment, Ayi and the two people who gave Zangfeng the horn in the evening each picked up their own musical instruments and played them together, and the four sisters of spring, summer, autumn and winter danced their own bewitching dance in response to the rhythm! Gradually, more and more clansmen joined in, cheering and cheering.
At this moment, Zang Feng sat aside, saw such an enthusiastic scene, and couldn't help but sigh at the tenacity of the vitality of this nomadic people! Conquering the bad land, indomitable, really like those, the strong grass that grows tenaciously on this somewhat sandy grassland, although it was uprooted by the wind and yellow sand, but after the disaster, although the grass mustard was blown elsewhere, it was still able to take root, so strong and tenacious, it could not help but be admired, and it is no wonder that those nations who survived in such a harsh environment can conquer most of the world.
But the chief uncle kept telling Lu Lianshan beside him: The clansmen were able to survive this disaster, all because of a few benefactors, and their tribes came from outside the Western Regions and had been somewhat assimilated, but they were not pure northern Mongolian peoples. Suddenly, Ah Xiang, who was snuggling up to each other with his wife on the opposite side, also stood up, walked over to the chief, took out a few large ingots of silver from his arms and said: "Uncle Chief, this is the silver tael given by several benefactors today, and I have just been free at the moment, so I will hand it over to the chief to put it away!"
The chief uncle hurriedly took the silver taels, stuffed them into Lu Lianshan's arms and said: "Why is this benefactor?
But Lu Lianshan, as early as when Lujiazhuang was in seclusion, often gave generous relief to his neighbors, although the silver taels were taken out by Zang Feng, but Lu Lianshan said that he would not let the chief uncle send them back, so he hurriedly said: "The old uncle should accept it! In the past two days, a few of us have been abruptly disturbed, which inevitably caused the old uncle's tribe to suffer disasters, and these silver taels should be regarded as our reparations! Otherwise, we are also uneasy!" The chief said: "That is absolutely unacceptable." ā
Lu Lianshan said again: "Today, the old man was trapped, all because of the carelessness of a few of us, and the yellow shirt man who had been captured alive was released in the storm, so that the yellow shirt man vented his anger on the tribal camp! We promised the old man to get rid of the troubles, but not only could we not get rid of them, but we caused trouble for the old man, so it is appropriate to make amends. The old man will stay and buy some more livestock, and regroup to cover the cattle and sheep that died in the storm!"
Zang Feng also thought that he had snatched all the silver in the backyard of the official mansion, and that the silver was either looted by the people or embezzled gold and silver from the treasury, and he also hurriedly said: "Uncle take it! Now that the old man's camp has been destroyed, these silver taels might as well be used as our way-asking expenses, please lead us out of this grassland as soon as possible, and the old man also happened to rush to the grassland market town to buy some cattle and sheep for the tribesmen to graze!"
After hearing the two of them say this again and again, the old man finally reluctantly said: "Even so, well! But it is already dark at the moment, and tomorrow morning, I will personally lead everyone out of the grassland as soon as possible! Our people will also go to the towns on the grassland to buy some livestock! Thank you very much!" Then he took the silver taels. The four of them listened happily, knowing that Brother Lu was really eager to find the dart car, and even applauded the old man!
At this moment, Lu Lianshan finally saw the opportunity, and asked again: "May I ask the chief uncle, have you heard of the Absolute Demon Country?" Lu Lianshan was also full of doubts and half-believed because he had listened to the various words of the 'yellow-shirted fast knife hand' in the morning, but before he had time to think carefully about the truth or falsehood of his words, he encountered wind and sand, and then he was busy rescuing the herdsmen who were crushed under the sand dunes.
The old man was first taken aback when he heard the words "Exquisite Demon Country," and then his eyes widened and said: "Could it be that a few strange people are going to find the Exquisite Ancient City! But don't go! This Exquisite Demon Country, when I was a child, there were such legends, but no one found out where it was? It's just a legend that there is an ancient city, buried deep in the deep sand of the great desert! But there, it is really in the deepest part of the desert, the wind and sand are extremely large, and the shape of the sand dunes changes very quickly. Even if some people are lucky enough to see the ruins of the ancient city, they will not be able to find it again when they go the second time, or the great desert has already changed shape due to frequent winds and sand, and they have lost their way, not only can they not find it, but they can't get out; or the ruins of the ancient city have just been exposed, but the huge wind and sand that have been blown in have been buried deep under the yellow sand! And it is also said that even if you find the ancient city, that is, even if the exquisite ancient city is not in the deep sand, it is in broad daylight, and the ancient city is also full of Qimen Dunjia and Qiaogong organs, and if you enter a hundred people, ninety-nine of them will die in it! Alas! This legend is really terrifying!" As he spoke, he shook his head helplessly and sighed.
When Zang Feng heard this, he couldn't help but think: "Qimen Dunjia? I ordered a group of wolves to dig a hole in the grassland in the afternoon to rescue the old man who was pressed under the sand dunes, and I also used the preliminary method of touching the gold based on Qimen Dunjia. But listening to the old man's tone, this is really a small thing to see from the legendary Qimen Dunjia in the Exquisite Ancient City!" So he asked: "Chief Uncle, I heard that the Mo County Order outside the Guanguan is collecting manpower, material resources, and financial resources at the moment to excavate the Exquisite Ancient City, so I collected materials from your herdsmen, is this matter true?"
Zang Feng's question was exactly what Lu Lianshan and the others were most concerned about! At this moment, the people in the clan were still singing, dancing and playing around the bonfire, while Lu Lianshan and the others were concentrating, waiting for the chief and uncle to answer. The old chief pondered for a moment and said, "Alas! Speaking of the Mo County Order, he has always treated us like food and clothing, and has always put the interests of our people first. And back then, the Mo County Commander would rather give up his life, and finally defeated the Mughal strong army, resulting in no war outside the Guanxi for many years, which is also a well-known thing for the people outside the Guan. Later, the yellow-shirted people appeared and insisted on collecting rent from us, even though there were rumors that they were instructed by the Mo County Order, but our local herdsmen either believed it or did not believe it at all. If we want to say that Mo Xianling is going to dig up some exquisite ancient city, we ordinary people don't understand it even more! Moreover, in order to survive, we herdsmen are busy cutting grass and grazing every day, and we never have the heart to think about those things! These things were asked by the benefactor in the morning, but because they were old and unclear, they did not mention them to the benefactor!
After Lu Lianshan and the others listened, they recalled the words of the yellow-shirted man, and they were even more dazed in their hearts, thinking that it seemed that they could only see it clearly outside the customs in person. So Lu Lianshan said: "What the old man said is right! Among the old uncle's family, it is very difficult to raise cattle and sheep well! Now that the old man's camp here has been destroyed, please ask the old man to stop by tomorrow and take us out of this prairie!"
The chief and uncle hurriedly said, "Okay!" and shouted to the people who were still making a good noise: "Everyone rest early today! Tomorrow morning, we will leave camp and move!" The chief gave an order, and in an instant the sound of the piano around the campfire ceased, and the dancing stopped, and then the tribesmen took their places, packed up their chariots and horses, and prepared to leave early tomorrow morning.
Suddenly, a clansman said: "Patriarch, this grassland night is wet and cold, I'm afraid this temporary camp tent is a little insufficient tonight, but because a large number of wooden stakes are pressed under the sand dunes, it can only be built so much temporarily." The chief said, "Then you young men squeeze in and make two tents for a few benefactors!"
Lu Lianshan said again: "It's really tiring, don't worry about it, uncle!" I think, the yellow sand on the big tent in the old man clan has been spewed out of the hole, the big sand dunes have collapsed, the small sand dunes have risen, and the two sand dunes have disappeared from the other. Lu Lianshan's body took off into the air and jumped on top of the circular sand dune, only to see that the yellow sand was sunken in it, revealing the top of the big tent. The big tent was also strong, and Lu Lianshan could see clearly that the yellow sand was only poured in from the curtain of the big tent, and so far, the big tent has not collapsed in the slightest. Lu Lianshan was not only impressed when he saw it, but also landed on the top of the big tent in the sand dunes. After inspecting it for a while, he came down again and told the chieftain and others what he had seen. Lu Lianshan said: "If there is no wind and sand tonight, then there can be a lot of people living in the tent!"
The chief said: "The yellow sand has just passed, according to common sense, will not come again! If we come again, not to mention the big tent, it is these small tents that have just been erected, and it is even more difficult to be spared! When we were buried under the tent in the afternoon, the yellow sand on the top of the tent was accumulating more and more, and we were really worried that the big tent would collapse, but at this moment, the yellow sand that weighed heavily on the top of the tent had been fully channeled, and the sturdy big tent would not suddenly collapse! ā
Zang Feng hurriedly said: "Don't worry, uncle, it will not be a problem for a few of us to jump over the outer circle of this yellow sand." Uncle Huan said again: "It's the six of us who live in that tent, and the old man is arranging it by himself, so let's leave together tomorrow morning!" The chief said: "I have wronged a few benefactors so much!" Zang Feng said: "Where!"
So, Zang Feng ordered the wolves to carefully patrol and guard them overnight. The clansmen were busy cleaning up outside. Lu Lianshan dragged Huantiandi, Zang Feng, and the others to jump over the yellow sand in turn, and they were already sitting on the top of the big tent! Soon it was the dead of night, and the people in the clan had already rested!
