After the night, early the next day, they arrived at the checkpoint and were inspected by the checkpoint soldiers. Li Darthead, Chen Dagongzi and Xiaohu were holding the road slips given by their respective government offices and asking the squad leader to check, when a soldier not far away suddenly shouted at Xiaohu and Li Dart: "Brother Wang! Brother Li! Why did you come here so early this year? ”

Xiaohu didn't remember people very well, so he looked up for a long time and didn't recognize who it was, but Li Darttou knew at a glance that it was one of those people who he and Xiaohu brought back at the beginning, as if it was called Zhang Manniu.

With a smile on his face, he asked Zhang Manniu, who had already approached them, "You are Zhang Manniu!" Why is it here, the cavalry team is not staying? ”

Zhang Manniu replied with a face full of shame: "Hey! We were also punished last time. I was punished here to guard the checkpoint, and I was also punished to raise horses at the horse farm, but General Qin said that when we have polished our temperament, we will return to the cavalry camp. ”

Li Dangtou patted Zhang Manniu's shoulder, and whispered in his ear: "Do a good job, since the old general said so, then I have the heart to cultivate a few of you." You have a bright future! ”

Zhang Manniu looked at Li Darttou in surprise, with a look of disbelief on his face, and quickly put down all his expressions, and nodded solemnly: "Hmm! Thank you for your kind words! Li Darttou nodded with a smile, and then turned his head again to cooperate with the verification of the identity of the personnel on his side.

The Peng siblings only had the exile period given by the government to expire, and the one that was released and returned home was covered with the official seal in black and white, and there was neither an official identity document nor a road to walk a long way. Persons in this situation are not allowed to leave the country! Xiaohu had no choice but to leave some money for them to return to the inn where they had stayed before and wait for them to return.

After passing the checkpoint, it won't be long before the grassland is reached, and the children who came with them went crazy, and they rode a prepared horse in twos and twos, and four or five horses immediately ran after me on the grassland. The big prince Chen and the little tiger who watched it were all hanging to the treetops, and only Li Dart rode on the horse lightly, following the team slowly.

When the children ran to the gathering place of the southern herdsmen, Xiaohu and his convoy were still struggling slowly on the edge of the grassland.

"Amu! Ada! How did you guys get back? The children, who were playing outside, saw Kaneki and Tieda riding on the same horse, and ran to them in surprise, asking loudly.

Jin Mu and Tieda ran the fastest, and were the first to reach a group of friends who ran over, and the two jumped off the horse and hugged their former playmates one by one. The next few followed, and the children on both sides became even more noisy when they met. There are those who shout loudly, those who wrestle when they pick up each other, and those who run back to the yurt to shout adults, the scene is no less noisy and chaotic than the Central Plains people before watching the play.

Kaneki said loudly to his good friend: "We have brought you a lot of fun things, but they are all in the back car, and when the owner arrives, I can give them to you." ”

A child, who was a little older than him, asked incredulously, "Where did you get the money to buy things?" ”

Tieda shook his head proudly and replied, "We earned it ourselves!" ”

Seeing the incomprehensible eyes of his partners, Jin Mu helped explain: "Our owner has land and livestock, and we all need people to do the work. We help raise horses, ducks, and grain, and as long as we help with the work, the owner will pay us. From the time I got there until now, I have earned a total of three taels of silver, and Tieda has a lot of strength and work, and he earns more than me. Tieda, you have more money than me, right?! ”

Tie Da smiled, nodded, and said, "Of course, when you carry a bundle of firewood, I will carry two bundles, twice as many as you!" ”

These children work in Erya's house to earn wages, not that Erya wants to exploit them, this is also an arrangement after repeated discussions between Erya and Xiaohu. Because the children of this grassland are different from the previous children, even the youngest children before them had the New Year's money given by Erya during the New Year and the red envelopes for New Year's greetings.

And these children are not at the right time, they have nothing on them, they are not young or festive, and it is not good for Er Ya to give them money for no reason. So Erya thought that there was something that these children could do, so she let them do it, and then use it to calculate their wages.

The mountain grass recovered from the barren mountains was used a lot to repair the roof. The town's canteen was very nervous about firewood, so Erya gave priority to the children from the grassland, and the firewood they handed over was calculated in bundles instead of the normal one-pick calculation.

In addition to collecting firewood, there are other things, as long as these children can do it, they will consider doing a part for them. Later, even if Er Ya and Xiaohu went to the north and were not at home, the uncle and second uncle were used to arranging for these children to do what they could.

In this way, most of these children saved five or six taels of silver, and some of them saved more than three taels. Now these children are with the same children as before, and they no longer have to look at other people's money to buy things they like.

This time I went back to the grassland to see my former friends, these children were all bleeding profusely, starting from Fucheng, and almost spent all their savings along the way. However, everyone was very excited, and they didn't feel sorry for the lost money at all.

While they were talking, the adults who had something to do with these children also ran out one after another, happily asking, "Ada, why are you the only ones?" Didn't you say you came back with your host? ”

"Yes! They're still behind, we're running fast! ”

When the herdsmen got the good news, they all happily went back to pack up the furs, wool, wool and other special products that they wanted to change. Some of the grass seeds that were harvested because they were commissioned were also taken out and put away.

Xiaohu's convoy rolled slowly, and when the sun went down, and the children who ran far away didn't come back, Xiaohu was a little anxious. Li Darttou said casually: "What are you anxious about? Here, those kids are much more familiar than you. They also understand what they say, where you need to worry, rest in peace! I'll be able to see it when I'm there tomorrow. ”

Xiaohu has no choice but to think about the good, and I hope that what I see tomorrow is an unharmed child.

There are not always wolves in the grassland at night, and it is usually after heavy snowfall that the wolves do not hunt before they gather in groups to hunt for objects. At this time, their night is quite peaceful, and everyone can sleep soundly. The next day, I walked for half a day before arriving at the gathering place of the southern herdsmen.

The children, who made Xiaohu worried, waited there with their friends from a distance, and when they saw Xiaohu and their convoy, they shouted: "It's coming!" Here it comes! Our host is here! ”

As soon as Xiaohu's car stopped, the children hurriedly climbed into the car and rummaged through the things they had put inside. In a while, the pastries eaten, the small things to play with, the toothpaste, toothbrushes and towels used were piled up on the side of each car.

The children began to distribute things to the friends who were helping with them, while talking about the function of these things: "This is toothpaste and toothbrush, it is used for brushing teeth, it is for protecting teeth, this is for washing face, and this pastry is delicious"

Every time Tieda and them took out something, their partners looked at it with bright eyes, and then took it with joyful hands, and then turned around and ran to their own Eminem and Daddy to show off as much as they could.

Xiaohu, Li Dangtou, and Chen Dagongzi were on the side, smiling and watching the children like a local tyrant, generously distributing gifts. The herdsmen who came out to greet the convoy in the grassland also followed the children curiously around and looked at the little things they had seen and had not seen, asking questions from time to time.

The children's things were finally divided in bursts of screams of joy, and Xiaohu saw that it was still early, so he took out some of the things and let the herdsmen who came out to greet them first choose to exchange. Because of these children as translators and propagandists, Xiaohu had to change a lot of sheep and cattle's special requirements, which were soon known to the herdsmen.

After resting here for a day and two nights, he set off to pull the reserved tea leaves and other items by the way, and set off for the northern herdsmen. The children, along with the exchanged cattle and sheep, were all left with the southern herdsmen, waiting for them to come back and take them away.

After a few days, I arrived safely in the northern herdsman area, and happened to catch up with the second day of the wedding banquet for the herdsmen, and the wedding banquet rules of the herdsmen are usually three days. The first day is the formal ceremony, that is, the day of the bride's wedding, what to welcome, send relatives, carry the dowry, cross the brazier, enter the cave room, these are similar to the weddings of some Han people. The slight difference here is that the bride here is to sing with the groom and perform some rituals such as singing, dancing, and toasting for the guests. Unlike Han brides, when they enter the groom's house, they have to hide in the new house and can't go out, and they can't talk casually until they have a glass of wine with the groom.

Their feast was to be set up for three days, and this was necessary. The second day the bride goes back to her parents' house is similar, and the third day to visit the ancestral grave is also a similar custom. When Xiaohu and their convoy arrived, Buhe accompanied his new daughter-in-law back to her parents' house and had not returned, only Bayar and Batu warmly received Xiaohu and his party.

Batu said to Xiaohu and them regretfully: "If you come a day earlier, you will be able to catch up with the day of Buhe!" It's a shame. ”

Xiaohu also learned a lot of Mongolian with those children, and now he can understand and speak a few simple words. He stumbled in half-baked Mongolian and said, "Yes, catch up, and the next day, good!" ”

But when he finished speaking, he began to worry, what kind of congratulatory gift to give? He didn't expect to catch up with the cloth and get married, so it was impossible to prepare this thing.

He wanted to cry or not, and aimed at Li Dart's head: "Brother Li!" I didn't prepare a gift, what should I do? ”

Li Dart looked at him with a headache, and couldn't help vomiting in his heart, so he asked him: "You brought so many things, just take out one or two things and give them to him, you can make him happy for several days, what kind of gift do you still have to kill and live?!" ”

"Huh! That's right! Xiaohu immediately became happy. Because the porcelain vase containing tea needs to be cushioned by soft things, so as not to bump around on the road and break each other, they will bring a lot of muslin and satin and other soft items that are still popular in the grassland every trip. After being reminded by Li Darthead, Xiaohu immediately rummaged in the carriage to find the most suitable silk for marriage, and took two horses out, ready to wait for Buhe to come back, and gave them to Buhe as a congratulatory gift.

Although the friendship between Dagongzi Chen and Buhe is not as deep as that of Xiaohu, Buhe, as the son of the clan king, no matter how much he drops, he has to take something out to express and express. Li Darttou is purely a soy sauce player, so he once again has to act as an empty-handed 'follower'. Don't make any plans for gifts! R1152
