Chapter 913: Summer a Year Later
Before the moisture dissipated, Yunyang had already turned away. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
I won't see you for the rest of my life, and I will say goodbye here.
Seungheng looked at Yunyang on the other side of the rainbow and disappeared into the misty mist without looking back, he lowered his eyebrows slightly, and also turned around and left the cheering crowd with a cold face.
Farewell, farewell...... If you talk too much in your heart, it seems to mean that you will never be able to say goodbye.
A year and a half later, the grassland in midsummer, which should be verdant and verdant, is still green and yellow, and in some places it is even bare with dark yellow sand. In many places where there is no sunlight, if you pull a stone from the ground, you will find that there is even remnant snow from winter in the cracks of the stone.
Sheng Heng threw the stone in his hand aside, and continued to walk forward with a gloomy face with his hands on his shoulders.
Asoto followed behind him and said with some uneasiness: "Great Khan, the weather is unusually cold this year, although the grassland of our tribe is vast, the growth of pasture is extremely sparse. Many herders' large animals have starved to death. ā
Shengheng stopped, and his angular face looked extremely cold at the moment. He looked into the distance and slowly spoke: "If the pasture is not good, let the herdsmen go south with their livestock to find pasture." Let's send cavalry to escort us, I don't believe that the Khitans will fight us for the northernmost remote grassland. ā
Hearing this, Asoto paused with some embarrassment: "Tell the Great Khan, the grasslands of the Khitan people this year are the same as ours, they are all green and yellow, and the grass roots in many places have been dug out and eaten up by goats with their hooves, leaving only bare sand. ā
Seungheng glanced at Asoto in disbelief, as if he wanted to ask something, but in the end he didn't say anything.
Asotto looked at Shengheng's cloudy face, hesitated for a moment, and still spoke: "Great Khan, actually, this is not the worst thing this summer......"
Shengheng stopped suddenly, turned his head and stared at Asoto like electricity: "What are you talking about......"
Before he could finish his sentence, he heard someone cry out in despair: "My camel, my camel ......"
Shengheng and Asotto looked for a voice, and saw an elderly herdsman with a whip, chasing a galloping camel behind him.
This camel is a long-eared camel endemic to the Akaya tribe. Taller than ordinary camels, these camels have great endurance and are able to endure the thirst, hunger and heat they experience when crossing the desert, making them an indispensable helper for the people of Akatani in transporting goods.
In addition, the hair on their necks is dense and long, and it is not easy to knot, so their hair is also used as a raw material for Akaya's fine wool fabrics. Most of this kind of camel is snow-white, only a small part is golden, when walking in the desert in a group, it is like the undulating clouds on the horizon, extremely gorgeous and noble, so it is also called "fairy camel." ā
Each camel is the most expensive property for a family in the Akatani, and the situation in the pasture this summer is so bad, it is not easy for a big livestock like a camel to survive until now, if there is an accident, it will undoubtedly be a disaster for an ordinary herdsman family.
Shengheng immediately rushed over without thinking, shouting as he ran: "What's the matter? ā
The herdsmen chasing the camels were panting and shouting, "Camels are ...... Estrus...... Can't stop ...... at all."
It turns out that summer is the estrus period of the fairy camel, and at this time, the usually docile and obedient fairy camel is full of wildness, becomes irritable and irritable, and loves to run wildly. And as soon as the camel runs, it will spit incessantly, not only to anyone who passes by him, but also to his own face. Since these camels can't get rid of themselves when they spit on their faces, they will accumulate more and more, and eventually their eyes will be blurred.
Camels with their eyes glazed out of their eyes do not slow down in the slightest, so they often hit rocks and bleed their heads during high-speed runs that they can't see anything, or they tripped over something on the ground and broke their necks.
It is precisely because of this danger that this herdsman will cry out for help in a hundred thousand people's urgency.
Of course, Shengheng knew how powerful this was, and he had dealt with such things before, so he was familiar with it.
So, Shengheng whistled in his mouth and gave Asoto a look at the same time, and the two of them bowed down and began to block the direction of the camel's run.
The camel, whose eyes were covered by the spittle of the white flowers, didn't know what he had in mind, and after entering the range blocked by Shengheng and Asoto, he turned around and ran back as if he could see it. Shengheng and Asoto also chased after him without saying a word.
But the camel suddenly turned as it ran, and crashed directly into Asoto. Asoto usually chases camels, and rarely sees camels rushing over on their own, because this camel is very wild, and he does not dare to confront this camel head-on, so he just jumped to the side.
I thought that I could escape in this way, but I didn't expect that this camel would chase after him as if it smelled him. Even if he got up from the ground and ran in a different direction, the camel would have been able to follow him with unerring accuracy.
Seeing that Asoto was about to suffer, Shengheng hurriedly rushed over and whistled to attract the attention of the camel, but he didn't know what evil happened to this camel, what whistle he couldn't hear, bypassed Shengheng and went after Asotto.
In this flat pasture, if he did not stop the mad camel, Asoto would sooner or later be overtaken by it, and after catching up, the camel might bite off his neck, or kick him off his bones, or smash it at him with all its weight...... In short, Asoto's life is not guaranteed!
Sheng Heng saw that he couldn't stop the camel even if he tried his best, so he was also ruthless. He began to run with all his might, and with his thick shoulder blades, he slammed into a slightly raised place under the camel's neck, which the people of Akatani knew was where the hamstrings and veins of the camel's front legs converged, and if he hit it, it didn't take much effort to make the camel immediately lose its support and lie down.
Although this method works, crashing into a camel that is running with all its strength requires more courage than skill. Therefore, although Asoto knew this method, he did not dare to use it rashly, and if he missed, he would immediately be trampled under the feet of a camel, and his bones would be broken.
Of course, when Shengheng rushed towards this camel, he was not 100% sure, but in order to save Asoto, he could only fight this time.
When Sheng Hengfei ran up, he crashed into the camel with a huge impact, and sure enough, after a loud noise, the camel gave up on its front legs as he wished, and fell to the grass.
At this time, Asoto also ran over and said in shock, "Thank you...... Thank you for the life-saving grace of the Great Khan! ā
Sheng Heng patted the dust on his body and said disapprehantly, "Let's go." ā
As soon as the two of them took a step, they heard the hoarse cry of the herdsman behind them: "My camel, you died so miserably!" ā
Shengheng and Asto stopped, they looked at each other and said, "The camel is dead?" How is this possible? How could such a collision not hit its vital part at all, how could it die? ā
