Chapter 606: Desolate Grassland

The military captain returned to Zhang Ran in a firm tone: "Report to the sir, there is no news of being attacked from other areas. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Zhang Ran nodded: "Blocking the news of our arrival, even if it is your commander here, you can't report our whereabouts, just as if you haven't seen us." ”

Without hesitation, the military captain replied, "Yes!" ”

Soldiers take obedience to orders as their duty, Zhang Ran's words are obviously military orders in front of him, and he also understands that Zhang Ran's identity is a person who is directly sent here by skipping his superior's organization, and has a higher military rank than his superiors, of course, he must obey orders and keep the secrets of Zhang Ran and his party.

After a brief exchange, Zhang Ran took the 'Nighthawk' and the 'Ghost' to the outside of the airport, which was also sparsely populated, and after getting into a taxi at random, he chatted with the driver.

"What's going on here? Just your taxi outside the airport? "It was said that it was a random car, but Zhang Ran and his party had no choice, only this car was parked outside the airport and operated.

The taxi driver's brows furrowed: "It's not because there was fighting, it's because there are foreign armed forces that have fled across the border to Inner Mongolia, and many locals are either hiding at home or leaving here to join relatives elsewhere." ”

Zhang Ran smiled: "Then why don't you leave?" ”

"What's the point? The government will definitely find a way, and I believe they ......."

Looking at the driver who has great confidence in the local government, Zhang Ran also smiled slightly, at least at this critical time, the local people still have people who support the government, which is enough to see the government's contribution in the local area, making them feel safe and comfortable.

The driver took Zhang Ran and his party to a hotel in Hulunbuir City, the scenery along the road is beautiful, the air is fresh, and the endless prairie makes Zhang Ran and the three of them suddenly feel that there is a different flavor, and the hotel where they live is also full of characteristics, and the sea view room in Sanya can also be realized here, but the blue sea has become an endless grassland in front of you, which is also spectacular and shocking.

In the room, there was no picture of people shepherding sheep on the grassland, but it looked a little desolate, the meandering stream was particularly prominent in the green grass, looking at the grassland, the 'nighthawk' beside him asked: "Boss, where is our goal?" ”

Zhang Ran said slowly: "Chen Balhu Banner, it is surrounded by two rivers, and according to Bai Ge's news, it is the most chaotic place now. ”

The Ghost asked, "Boss, what are we going to do this time, we won't be stationed here all year round, right?" Do we have to wait until these rebels have eliminated us before we leave? ”

Zhang Ran looked a little serious: "Four flags." ”

The two asked suspiciously, "Four Flags?" ”

"The Four Banners of Animal Husbandry -- the New Right Banner, the New Left Banner, the Chen Banner, and the Evenki Banner, of which the Chen Banner is the Chenbal Tiger Banner that we are about to go to, and the other three banners are also facing attacks by rebels."

"Why are there rebels in the four banners at the same time?"

Zhang Ran: "Well, these four banners are the most prominent places in animal husbandry, most of the local people make a living from animal husbandry, and there are also many enterprises investing there, I am also very curious, how could the always calm herdsmen choose to rebel?" ”

"That's it, don't care about the good cattle and sheep, run to get a gun and kill people, my good man."

"Okay, anyway, let's rush to Chen Balhu Banner tomorrow."

After a night's rest, Zhang Ran and the three of them left the hotel, and after Zhang Ran 'borrowed' a car, the three of them embarked on the road to carry out the mission. Soon they came to Chen Balhu Banner, the local people here seemed to be panicked, they were all looking at each other suspiciously, they all thought that the rebels were each other, and the trust between people was gone, from time to time there were military personnel who came up to interrogate Zhang Ran and the three of them, and a standard Mandarin was enough to prove that Zhang Ran and the three were not locals, so they were not hindered much, but they were warned by the soldiers that it was dangerous here and leave as soon as possible.

There are no roads at all, and if there is a place where you can walk or drive, then the whole grassland is. The sparse yurts show the scarcity of the population, and it is hard for Zhang Ran to imagine a group of rebels in such an environment.

Zhang Ran and the three of them drove the vehicle aimlessly on the grass, and now they did not have any news about the attack, nor any information about the traces of the rebels, only looking for valuable clues nearby.

Coming to a yurt, Zhang Ran and the three stopped and walked to the door, Zhang Ran politely shouted into the yurt: "Hello, is there anyone?" ”

The door opened, and a young woman looked at Zhang Ran suspiciously, her face full of nervousness: "You, who are you?" ”

Zhang Ran smiled and said, "Hello, don't worry, we are not bad people, we are just tourists here." ”

Looking at the dress of the three Zhang Ran and the car behind her, the young woman smiled, and he could tell that the three people in front of him had no malicious intent: "Oh, hello, come in and sit." ”

Due to the low size of the door, Zhang Ran and the three walked in with their heads down, and in the yurt, there was an elderly man with a wrinkled face, cooking in front of a square stove.

Zhang Ran smiled and looked at the old man and nodded, and then sat on the spot, they all noticed that there were no chairs and stools in the yurt, and they also knew that this was the habit of life here.

The young woman communicated with the old man in their language, and then the old man said to Zhang Ran with a smile, Zhang Ran looked at the young woman with a puzzled face, and the woman smiled and said, "This is my mother, she is saying hello to you." ”

Zhang Ran nodded and began to observe the whole space, the square stove in the center seemed to be the only object of illumination, surrounded by carpet, and the stains on the carpet and the mess on the walls of the yurt tent were enough to show that it had not been renovated for many years.

There was an iron frame hanging above the square stove, which was obviously the kitchen of the yurt, and there were some beef and mutton hanging on the wall, and the women generously took a piece of mutton from the wall, and threw the meat into the iron pot on the stove with a knife in front of the square stove, and the bottom of the iron pot was already blackened, which seemed to be the result of years of use.

Zhang Ran understands that mutton here is the highest etiquette for entertaining guests, although there are countless cattle and sheep, but they themselves rarely eat, generally used in exchange for other daily necessities, the air-dried beef and mutton on the wall is not much, it can be seen that this family is not rich, in the grassland, a family has at least thousands of cattle and sheep, and when Zhang Ran and the three walked into the yurt, they did not see any cattle and sheep outside the door.

Zhang Ran asked the young woman with a smile, "Are you two the only ones in the family?" ”

The young woman suddenly looked melancholy: "Originally, there was still my husband, but he didn't come back after going out a few days ago. ”

Zhang Ran: "You haven't gone out to look for it?" ”

The woman shook her head: "No, there is still an elderly mother at home, who I left to take care of her, and when he left, he took all the cattle and sheep in the family with him......" It can be seen that the young woman is very sad at this time, her husband is gone, and he took away all the cattle and sheep in the family, and now he is a family with four walls.

Women continue to add mutton to the pot, from time to time to add milk cubes, milk cubes are the way to preserve goat's milk here, when you need to take it directly into the pot, a little boiling, it will turn into a rich milkshake, with milkshake to cook mutton is also a unique custom here. In the iron basin with the milk cube in the woman's hand, the milk cube has bottomed out, and in order to entertain Zhang Ran and the three of them, this family seems to have given it all to it.

The old man spoke in Mongolian, pointed to the pot and then put his hand to his mouth, and Zhang Ran and the three of them could see that the old man was reminding the pot that the food was ready to be taken.

Zhang Ran smiled and nodded, the woman took out an iron can from the corner of the room again, opened the lid, and Zhang Ran and the three of them asked for a burst of wine, and although the Mongolians regard wine as the most important food and the soul of the sun, they do not advocate the random use of it regardless of age, obviously Zhang Ran and the three of them are adults. For wine, the Mongolians have established specific and fixed standards and clear etiquette taboos for the age of drinking, toasting, offering and inviting songs, etc., and have created a unique Mongolian wine culture, and it is also their hospitable nature to entertain visitors with local wine.

Zhang Ran took the sour mare's milk wine, smelled it, the acidic taste was already appetizing, plus the perfect match of spirits, Zhang Ran drank the wine in the bowl in one gulp, and wiped his mouth with his arm: "Haha, cool." ”

"My goodness, this wine is so refreshing."

And the 'Nighthawk' on the side of the face is distorted, it seems that the wine in the mouth is difficult to swallow, this kind of wine is not everyone thinks it is delicious, those who can drink it feel that the sourness on the tip of the tongue is enjoyment, and those who will not drink it will be full of pedantic and sour smell, obviously the 'Nighthawk' belongs to the kind that will not drink.

Looking at the expression of the 'Nighthawk', the young woman also covered her mouth and smiled slightly: "Hehe, is it so unpleasant?" ”

'Nighthawk' looked at Zhang Ran, and then drank the wine in the bowl in one gulp, he knew that the wine was the enthusiasm of young women for them, Zhang Ran also signaled 'Nighthawk', he had to take one sip.

At this time, there was the sound of a vehicle engine outside the door, and then the door was opened, and a middle-aged man walked in, the man was burly, his arms were muscular, his eyes were bright, his face was as perfect as a knife carving, and he was wearing the same clothes as a young woman, but when the man walked in, the gauze entanglement at his right elbow attracted Zhang Ran's attention.

The women in the room looked at the man in surprise, and then a series of Mongolian words made Zhang Ran confused. The woman said excitedly, as if she was blaming, and then the woman rushed to the man's side, hugged the man and began to cry, Zhang Ran understood that this man was the husband of the young woman.

The two hugged each other, Zhang Ran could also see the man's guilt towards women, and after a while, the man walked to the elderly mother, knelt down directly, lowered his head and muttered, the old man gently stroked the man's head, and seemed to have no meaning of blame, but a doting face. Zhang Ran understands that the man is the old man's biological son, and the young woman is just her daughter-in-law, after the son left, the young woman resolutely chose to continue to take care of the old man, it is enough to see that the woman is kind-hearted, many women will choose to leave at this time due to the collapse of the family and the complete lack of income, and she has been waiting for her man to come back and has not given up. Zhang Ran smiled slightly.
