Under the sky, a blue expanse, the hills that are chased, the spider streams, and a few bushes of small trees make this grassland actually not seem empty, and the sheep go up to the hill for a while, and then go to the river, like a field of dandelions, which rises and falls with the breeze.

The undulations of the hills here are not abrupt, and there are no 'extremely soft lines', just like the body of a plump and round woman, and the ups and downs 'extend far away'.

Among the green grass and wildflowers, scattered are a few small felt tents, which are temporary shelters for the shepherds to go out to graze their cattle and set up temporary shelters for rest. Distance! The vigorous wrangler rode a horse with his head soaring, and "wielded a stubborn pole in his hand", showing his bold and fierce spirit.

Temur rode on a sturdy red horse, 'a horse with a fat nose and a broad chest,' and a great hoof under its long legs,' a horse that was the fastest and had a long endurance,' and she galloped if she let it go, and her belly was almost touching the tip of the grass.

She rode to the front of a group of horses, and she turned over and jumped down, and she stuck out her tongue, licked the back of her palm, and took the mane of the horse, and threw the rope into the saddle, and walked forward quickly, and the red horse tamed her and followed her.

"Ruan Xiaojiu, 'You come down!'"

A wrangler rolled over and jumped off his horse and 'ran in front of her' to behave in front of her, and she said, "It's Shi Niang!" ”

This Ruan Xiaojiu is a Han Chinese, and there are more and more people in the Temang tribe who are light on business, farming, working, and running transportation, and the Lizhan Si light obtained in these aspects is far beyond horse grazing, so that all the young Zhuang people are far away from engaging in more promising occupations.

And Ruan Xiaojiu is a Han man in Kaiyuan City, who was originally used to work for people on a short-term basis, and now he was hired by the Temur tribe to herd horses for them. This is a kind of integration in the transitional stage, the herdsmen themselves go to the county to engage in other trades, "there are fewer and fewer people in the clan who are responsible for grazing", and now the cattle, sheep and horses are not able to reduce suddenly, so in turn they hire some Han people who have no property and no job to help them herd.

However, these Han people are not considered qualified shepherds whether they are riding or herding, and as the daughter of the patriarch, Temur has to take on the responsibility of teaching them the knowledge of herding.

"Ruan Xiaojiu, how many horses do you put in the boat?"

"Dish Gang!"

Ruan Xiaojiu smiled: "Noise, girl, you see, this gang of thirty-nine, that gang of twenty-eight, the gang of sixteen horses on the front slope, the gang of sixteen horses, the one on the side, and the gang on the side are eleven horses." ”

He smiled and praised: "Not bad", it's only been about twenty days! I can watch the four gangs of horses by myself. ”

She took a few steps forward and looked at the horses, and said, "You see that there is no way, and the gang by the river has only one horse, and although this group of horses is the smallest, you have to pay special attention to the horses, and if there are only two or three horses, you will not have to worry about it," and they will bear the whole herd around the periphery, and will not let them run around.

But this group is only a horse, and it is not that it looks at the horses, but that it leads the horses, and if you are not careful, it will be happy, and it will not necessarily lead its horses anywhere.

"Oh, 'Well, I still think that the gang of horses is the least, so I don't have to worry too much', so I especially look at the most of this group, 'more burden, the girl advises', I understand!"

Ruan Xiaojiu smiled and looked at the girl's red mouth, 'Ta Ta' was tempting, and she was stubborn.

In the distance, a wrangler who was in charge of watching the other groups of horses laughed: "Xiao Jiu's little hand is 'deliberately looking for a rut again' to hook up with others, Shi Niang spoke." ”

This wrangler is also Han Chinese, and his name is Zheng Si'an. Since a herdsman's family began to hire Han people to graze cattle for him, many herdsmen who did not have a surplus of talents at home followed suit, and hired many Han people to assist.

These Han people were all hired to work by the ordinary prisoners in Liaodong because of various crimes, "no property and no job", and "to help people do short-term work". These criminals who have been exiled for various criminal acts are naturally not noble, but when it comes to the nomadic tribes who are fierce and like to fight with Hu Yong, they do not dare to be treacherous, let alone evil and bully.

However, we look at the grazing very poetic, but all day long just dealing with the livestock, in fact, it is very boring, it is rare for such a handsome woman to come here to guide them to graze! Naturally, they tried to talk to others for a few more words. Regarding the rules of the head horse, Lao Zheng had already told Ruan Xiaojiu, how could he not understand that 'deliberately something went wrong' Chun asked the eldest girl to talk to him.

"Go, go!" Suddenly, one of the stallions in the other gang approached his herd, and Zheng Si'an immediately whipped it and drove it away.

There are many rules for raising horses, pasture, drinking water, feeding salt, ......, and returning it! The ponies do not allow any stallions from any other gang to come near their own stallions! Once they get close, the horses will jump out and bite the other kitchen; If any of the female horses in his own gang ran away to someone else's caravan, it would be very difficult for him to return to the team, because he would not forgive such a female horse who had rebelled against him, and if he returned, he would expel him.

It is also the case that 'when the child grows up, he will compete with the old horse for her plate', and the wrangler will have to watch, and when one side loses, he will have to take it away, and the crook will pull the cart, and if he leaves it in the herd, it will be uneasy. And so on, a lot of rules, so herding horses. It seems to be leisurely, and there are a lot of things that need to be dealt with every day.

It's a rough and leafy surnamed Niang', I didn't notice Ruan Xiaojiu's pair of thief eyes were all on her bulging chest, she was very team-oriented, she explained, 'turned her head and caught Ruan Xiaojiu's eyes! Only then did he realize that he couldn't help but be angry and funny with his intentions, and she raised her whip and shouted: "Is it looking for a button?" ”

As soon as Ruan Xiaojiu saw her raise the whip, her neck immediately shrank, and she hurriedly said: "Which talent, which talent, I really don't understand 'hehe' I know more about the girl's guidance!" ”

snorted, "Take back the whip, 0, play it, really buckle"; Don't buckle the whip of the prairie people, there are too many, if you gently buckle him, it will not be a reward and punishment, and go to your beloved man to show love, how can you let the whip fall on his shoulder, she walked away angrily, and did not step on the shackles, and directly reached out to the back of a school horse, and jumped up! The figure bent and longitudinal, and stood beautifully on the horse's back, and with a whistle, the red horse detective ran away.

Ruan Xiaojiu's membranous shoulders smiled again. He didn't think that people would be able to take a fancy to him, but he was whipped by her, at least he could think about it, but it's a pity, people are whipped! After all, it's stingy to fall 'cheap......

Stepping on the horse's back, she galloped like a gallop on the grassland, 'Dandan ran to the height of a grassy slope, and suddenly squeaked her, 'Fiercely, she stopped the horse', she held her hand in the shade and looked at it from a distance, and immediately loosened the saber at her waist. At the end of the four days, more than 100 Zhengfu rode fast horses and galloped here, and the first reaction was that she was also an enemy of Gong, but she immediately realized that "there are no people and horses in this area, how dare a small group of shoes and shoes come to attack?" However...... "What if it's a bandit?"

Under the crotch, this horse is very wonderful, "she is not worried that the other party will be caught", but she is worried that if the bandits come to plunder, "these groups of wranglers in the pasture behind will suffer", "hesitate to say goodbye", sit firmly on the horse's back, "ride the horse to meet it."

The two sides were also a stone's throw away, and the horse grabbed the bow with his backhand, and fired an arrow from the bow, and a torture arrow instigated her to shoot it, and it landed in front of the group of people and horses running on the opposite side.

The person running in front on the opposite side immediately raised his hands and 'stopped his men and horses from moving again', and then opened his hands and drove his crotch to meet him.

"Hello, beautiful girl! I told Amur and my people to come from far away and come here from a distant place. May I ask the girl, 'go to live again' is Kaiyuan Castle, right? ”

The person who came was an old man who was over half a hundred years old this year, and his skin was black and red! With a look on his face, he touched his chest with his hand, and said with a very respectful attitude.

The bow and arrow in Temur's hand pointed at her, but he was still vigilant: "Yes, from here, live in the east, and walk east, and after crossing the Eight Tigers, you will be Kaiyuan City." Where are you coming from, and where are you going? ”

Amr delighted her and said, "Eternal life, God bless, we have arrived in Kaiyuan in peace." The beautiful surname Niang 'We are here to belong to the Ming Dynasty!' Can the girl show us the way? ”

His face showed a sad expression, and he said in a low voice: "Murder! We used to be nomadic in this area, but we never came close to the Eight Tigers Road, so we didn't recognize the way we lived. ”

The sheep said suspiciously: "Was your tribe in this area before?" What tribe are you? ”

Amur's expression was even more mournful, and the white poto under his chin trembled slightly: "We are a small tribe, maybe ......, the girl has heard of the name of our tribe, 'We are the Zuna tribe!'" ”

"Tsuguna?"

exclaimed: "Oh my God, weren't you all under the Jinping clan by the shoe target Taishi Aru?" ”

"Yes!"

Amur Lao burst into tears, and a pair of mustard old hands tightened his chess: "We are a small tribe of less than a thousand tents, and we have always had no quarrel with others." The Ming army attacked the Wugu tribe, and we were worried that Arutai and the Ming army would fight together for this, and that we would 'move the whole clan north and swim to the Yeliguna River', but Arutai actually surrendered for no reason and sent people to slaughter our entire clan, old and young! Our relatives, our people, ......,"

Amr burst into tears and said, "But we didn't die, Yan!" Some of our clansmen were grazing cattle outside, and we were able to escape the butcher's knife of Arutai, and we fled for our lives in Tibet, until we heard that 'Yang Xu, the governor of Liaodong of the Ming Dynasty, defeated the army of Arutai!' The entire Horqin grassland went east and south, and we only ventured to escape from the "light and unrutained minions" of the Arutai. ”

After Temur didn't feel a little weak, "others don't know what to do", but she knew very well that "in order to let Caige Timur gain the trust of Arutai, she needed to play a ghost for the dead", and it was her father who came up with the idea of "marrying this Tuguna tribe and letting the soldiers talk about Ling", saying that it was the shepherd of the Tuguna tribe who led the way for the Ming army, so she easily attacked the foot of Wugu.

and deliberately let the dark clouds hear all this, and then deliberately create an opportunity for her to escape. After hearing the sails, the Rutai of Straw Goa sent troops to chase the Yemu Guna River and punish the Tug Guna tribe for the slaughter of the tribe 0 I didn't expect that the Guna tribe was still a survivor.

"Okay, 'tell your people to always connect with her', 'I'll take you to the Eight Tigers!'

With some guilt and retribution, Temur said to Amur.

"Okay, 'Burden you', beautiful girl!" Amr was full of promises and immediately drove his horse back to run.

Sitting on a horse and looking at their news, out of the corner of her eye, she suddenly turned to some other scene: 'Look at it, and see only the grassland of the northwest target! There was only a team of 100 people, and they were galloping towards this side.

Taken aback, 'I don't know how to deal with this situation,' and the infantry team came running over on a single horse.

It was only ten feet away, and he was hesitating to warn him not to approach, and the man said loudly: "Hey! Gone Temur? ”

I was stunned, "Look at this person's sturdy figure, sharp eyes", wearing a right-handed, oblique chess, high collar, long sleeves, iridium edge, 'unopened earthy yellow Mongolian leather robe' with a pair of boots on his feet! The toe of the boots was upturned, and a leather belt was tightly tied around the waist, and the saber was firmly inserted into the belt, which did not actually smash with the movement of his gallop.

Although a messy chrome beard covered most of his frightened face, but judging from his eyes and skin, he was a very young Yao Hanhu, and this hesitation was true, and he ran in front of him! Lama opened his mouth and laughed: "Haha, it's really you!" ”

Suspicious: "Are you cheating?" ”

The man took root a big beard with his own lice and oranges, and Qi Xiao: "I just didn't trim the beard, and I didn't wear a military uniform, don't you recognize me?" ”

The school knife said angrily: "Are you cheating? ”

This time, the man replied quickly: "The commander of the Liao Zhongwei of the Ming Dynasty is also Lord Ding Yu!" ”

Speaking of which, he opened his mouth again, and she smiled happily, "Do you have any merit for me?" The imperial court province has no way to give me any reward? ”

The girl exclaimed, "Are you Ding Yu?" You're not dead yet? ”

Ding Yu said: "Bah, Ji Bah! This general Fu Da life big 'Shoubi Nanshan! How could it be again? Not only did I not die, but I also brought your sister back! Your sister's name is Minmin Temul, right? ”

After hearing it, he was surprised and delighted, and said in a trembling voice: "My sister is still alive? Where is she? ”

Ding Yuhuan pointed his head and said, "Ka, over there, your sister is ......,"

Ding Yu didn't finish speaking, so he rode his horse and rushed to 'Ding Yu shouted: "Hey, didn't the master of the ministry reward me?" ”

I saw that among the people and horses brought by Ding Yu, there was only a soft burden between the two horses, and there was a person lying on it, and my heart had already taken root! Why don't you pay attention to him' Ding Yu beckoned and said: "Why is this girl so impatient!" ”

He turned his head and saw another group of people walking in front of him because no one was looking, and most of these shepherds were men, young women, so one of them stood out from the crowd, the woman was black-haired, blue-eyed, milky white, slender and slender, and her facial features were bright and radiant, Ding Yu's eyes immediately straightened: "Tsk! This two turns are so fucking charming! ”
