The sky was high and the clouds were light, the green fields were boundless, and the carriage moved forward at a relatively steady pace.

The scene I had been looking forward to when the wind and grass and the cattle and sheep were seen finally came into my eyes after passing through a hillside.

However, there are very few cattle and sheep that catch the eye, and they are just foils.

It's the horses, which really invigorate people's spirits.

It was the first time I had seen so many horses in front of my eyes.

I leaned on the window, my eyes staring at the grass ahead.

The girl in the dart game behind her had a good conversation.

There is no intention of stopping.

They just talked to me about the scene of the dart game going to the north to choose horses, although it is difficult for them to get it here, but they are deeply impressed by that experience, and they are much calmer than me, a person with little knowledge.

I thought about interrupting their conversation and clearing up some of my other doubts, but the conversation was so lively that I didn't want to interject, so I waited for the gap between their conversations while watching the horses in the distance of the pasture.

Taking advantage of a pause, I curiously turned my head and asked one of the girls in the dart game: "This is far from the capital of Zealand, compared to the one in the north?" ”

The girl I asked was slightly stunned, then thought about it and gave me a slightly mysterious answer.

"It depends on the season," she said. “

I stared at her suspiciously, I didn't get the answer I wanted, why did I still get the season?

So I kept looking at her with my eyes wide open, and I couldn't help the person next to her smiled and said, "Xiaolin, you have to change your expression." “

After getting acquainted, even the polite word "childe" was omitted.

I waited intently for what she had to say.

The girl next to me who answered me raised her hand and patted the other one on the shoulder a few times, with a smile on her face: "You are more restrained, don't say anything else." In case you annoy Sister Li, it's not a joke. “

The girl stuck out her tongue, looked at me with a grin, turned to her companion and said, "Isn't it for his good?" I'm afraid that when he arrives in the country, he will be taken captive. “

Yes! I gave them a horrified look, and then there was a burst of laughter in the carriage.

After laughing, the girl who had pinched my face before said calmly: "Follow me here to the north." The distance on both sides is about the same distance. "I said it depends on the season," she said, lifting the curtain on the side of the carriage and glancing at the pasture in front of her, before continuing, "In winter, the road to the north is not easy. So although the distance remains the same, the speed is significantly slower. "It's the same here, in the rainy season in the south, the mountain roads are slippery, and the roads are not well built in many places. There will also be landslides. "With these two seasons, even the planned number of days will be delayed due to uncertainty." "That's why I told you just now, where to go depends on the season." "Xiao Lin, that's not quite what she said," the other girl said dryly, "Now you know that there is a dispute in the north, and it is not peaceful, and it seems that there may be a big war. "It's not just this time that the situation has become tense. There was also a lot of friction before, and most of the people in the national capital were loyal to the empress, so in the past two years, few people have gone north to buy horses. Because I don't say what you understand. “

I nodded, and it was very clear.

It is an unwritten rule that the first wagon is the fastest in our convoy, and it is said that the speed of the first cart can drive the one behind.

The front leader is fast, and naturally it will not suppress the speed behind and has a promoting effect.

Because Sister Li intervened. The horses that had spread their hooves and ran had no good time, and now they watched the pasture approach. Horses are spiritual animals, so no matter how fast they press. It's starting to get faster.

Arriving at the outskirts of the racecourse where we were expected to stay, I saw through the car window a lanky man in his mid-thirties riding a brown horse and looking at our convoy.

Before I could speak, Sister Li's voice came from the car behind me

The racecourse is at the foot of the mountain, and there are courtyards where other families live, adding up to three families.

Sister Li chose the one with the largest area to settle in, that is, the one she met on the periphery of the pasture earlier.

When the car came to a stop in the courtyard, I heard her say hello, and the two girls in the dart game began to get busy.

At this time, I found out that in addition to the car that sat in the people, there was one of them that Sister Li used to carry the items needed along the road.

She asked the girl from the dart bureau to unload the wine into the courtyard, and there was no shortage of meat on the delicate pastries and grasslands in the city, and the dim sum had to go to Yuzhou City to buy it.

Stuff was delivered into the room, and a large table was filled.

The house of the horse farm is built in a similar style to that in Yuzhou City, and there are small courtyards in front and back, and fruit trees and flowers are planted in the courtyard, which looks gratifying.

I went around and couldn't help but ask the owner of the house, because there were only two people I saw one after another, he and his wife, plus the room where the people lived below, how could there be such a large courtyard?

I think this is different from the place where I imagined the grassland to live, isn't it the big tent I remember?

The owner and his wife warmly led us to settle down, and when they came back to the hall to talk to me, they just happened to explain the reason.

The tents I was looking forward to were carried by them when they were grazing in the depths of the grassland, but they were not as big as I remembered, but more like the light and small ones I remembered before I crossed over.

It is only used for sleeping and temporary rest.

This group of horse-raising people in Yubei is very different from the grassland people in the real sense!

Although they made money by raising horses, the courtyard in the pasture was not a real "home" at best.

Their real home is in Yuzhou City.

For example, the owner of the house in front of him and his wife, who gave birth to two children, are not around, and the children are left in Yuzhou City to live with the rest of the family, but the two of them take care of the family's pasture here, and there are only a few miscellaneous people in the pasture.

I asked why, and my interest in the pasture in front of me decreased slightly, because it was not the kind of grassland life I longed for, and there were no big tents. A tent like a real Big Mac.

I couldn't help but mutter, "Is it only to the north of Sealand that you can see what I'm talking about?" “

It's a pity that the owner of the house can't answer me, their family has been in Yuzhou for many years, and they have never had the opportunity to go to the Northern Horse Market, which is as famous as Yubei.

After some questioning, I remembered that I seemed to have neglected something from the time I got off the bus until now.

His gaze circled around the room. He ran out of the door and under the fruit tree to see that a few people in the dart game were continuing to unload things from the car into the yard.

Looking back and forth, I finally remembered that I forgot about that big living person!

That poker-faced season nine!

Just now I was looking at the scenery, and when I got to the racecourse, I took care to ask the owner for news, and I didn't pay attention to the place where they were settled.

I'm not that picky myself, anyway, there are so many rooms, there is always a place for me to live. It's a big deal to be able to survive the night in the carriage.

It's just one night.

Tomorrow morning, according to the route set by Sister Li, we will follow the road marked with the red line on the map, and pass through a col in Yushan behind the racecourse, which is the nearest path to the official road to the north.

Passing by the poplar tree in the courtyard, the girl at the bottom of the dart board joked to me: "Xiaolin." Don't think about the tent in the Northland grassland, if you go there, you will definitely not be able to come back, the women on the grassland are no better than us."

I gave her a wordless look, and walked quickly across the porch to the backyard to find the forgotten one.

I looked at a few houses in the backyard, and approached the eaves of one of them according to Sister Li's preferences, and sure enough, I heard a voice from inside. "Li Darthead, it's no big deal. You can get busy. “

It was Ji Jiu's hoarse voice that sounded. "Hey, it's still called so raw, call me by a nickname. My family calls me out."

I heard those two words clearly, and stood under the eaves with a forced laugh, and my body trembled.

There were two people in the room, one was very forgetful, and the other was the opposite, and I heard Ji Jiu coughing. Then Sister Li roared: "Xiao Linzi, what are you sneaking up on while standing under the eaves?!" “

I hurriedly pushed the door open and entered. As soon as his eyes met Ji Jiu's face, he couldn't help but purse his lips.

Teeth clenched. Only in this way can you refrain from laughing.

The love passed for a while, and Ji Jiu stared at me with a dark face, similar to an ice bucket cooling down on a hot day.

Being looked at by him like this, I feel bad.

The corners of my mouth moved, and I barely managed to squeeze out a smile: "I'm watching the people of the dart bureau unload." “

was slapped on the shoulder, and Sister Li scolded me: "Don't even call Big Brother, you are really spoiled, although the boy should be pampered, you can't be so unruly." “

"Li Darttou, I have a few words with Xiao Lin, can I bother you to avoid it first."

Walking out of the backyard through the small door, I walked knee-high in the grass with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

It rained a few days ago, and the woods here are still a little slippery, and after sitting in the car for a long time, although I don't have to walk my legs, I am tired, looking at Ji Jiu, who is walking in front of me a foot away, he is very stable.

He said he wanted to talk to me, but he didn't want to talk about it in the house, even if it was in the yard, it was better than having to climb the mountain.

What the hell is there about something important that he has to ask me to go up the mountain to discuss?!

I muttered in my heart, thinking that the trip to the national capital would have to rely on this noble lord to enter the palace, so I had to suppress the depression in my heart and follow him to continue to move towards the mountain

"No, no," I gasped hard, "if you want to speak, just say it here, I'm not going to go to the top of the mountain." ”

I simply picked a rock under a big tree and sat on it!

Even if you climb the mountain, the key is that I will have to go down later

Halfway up the mountain, on the side of a rock, Ji Jiu stood in front of me, meeting my eyes.

He clearly had something to say, but a hint of hesitation flashed between his eyebrows, but he didn't speak.

At this moment, Yushan is becoming more and more tilted.

The mountain wind is blowing more and more fiercely.

Blowing red face, blowing hair up.

Really good at picking places!

I looked at him messily in the wind, and I couldn't help but start to have a divine beast running in my heart

Nima said! (To be continued)
