Chapter 814: Steppe Wolf Howl
Xu Qingkou said to get some food to fill his stomach, but Qiangba didn't dare to snub Battle, who helped the brothers and sisters solve the big trouble, first white and then red, fragrant tea for guests, white cheese, milk wine, fresh milk, red is fragrant sheep's back, hand-grilled meat, and Qige also sent two golden roasted lamb legs, crispy scream: "Drink soup!" β
Different from the Chinese, the Mongolian people have been drinking thin since childhood, even if a large piece of mutton is served, it must be called 'soup', 'soup sheep', in short, the food culture of the two places is very different, so that Xu Qing is a little unaccustomed, the pure grassland food culture is not the same as the tone modified by the horse herdsman in order to make money.
Although there are many taboos among the nomads of the steppe, the brother and sister have no concern for the Bartel in front of them, some only respect from the heart, and the smile on the faces of the brother and sister has not been suppressed since the moment they entered the yurt.
In contrast, his smile is much better-looking, with a subtle beauty in his smile and smile, not as enthusiastic as Tana, Xu Qing, who has drunk a lot of wine, looks a little hazy.
Drinking wine in a big bowl and eating meat, its self-brewed wine is really a must-have on the prairie, strong and mellow, and it is like a line of fire in the throat, which is Xu Qing's favorite tune.
Daleng cut a leg of mutton and put it in his mouth and chewed it, and said with a smile: "Battle, there is still a long way to go from here to the Chahara tribe, if you are fascinated by the fine wine, you can simply stay today and leave early tomorrow morning." β
Xu Qing took a big sip of the sixth bowl of wine, wiped his mouth and said, "No, although the wine is good, it can't delay the business, drinking this wine is nothing to me." β
Jampa gave a thumbs up and praised, "Battle is a good drinker, if you like to drink his own fine wine, I can put it in a bag in a leather bag." β
The Mongolian skins for water and wine are quite good things, and Qiangba has two extra-large skins, which can be filled with five catties of wine each time, which is enough to feast on the way along the way, as long as you don't get drunk and fall off the horse.
When Qiqige heard that Xu Qing was leaving, the smile on his face suddenly froze, and he turned around and took a big leather bag from a corner of the yurt and walked out, thinking that he was going to fill the wine.
Daleng said in a low voice: "There are many rules in the Chahara tribe, if you want to see the Khan King, even if you arrive in the tribe, you still need to be patient, I promise to help you arrange it as soon as possible." β
Xu Qing frowned and said, "Then I'll go back with the key to the Imperial Tomb now, and then find an auction house to sell this thing to save trouble, presumably someone is willing to pay a big price." β
Daleng said with a bitter expression: "Don't, the key to the imperial tomb is the most precious treasure of the Chahara royal family, and it is also the hope for Ava and I to return to the tribe!" β
Xu Qing said: "Brother you are not interested in knowing about the affairs at home, but first say the ugly things in front, you can wait, but there must be a time limit, after an hour, Brother will turn around and leave immediately, and he will never stay for half a minute." β
Daleng nodded and said, "Don't worry, even if I try my best, I will let you see the Khan King within an hour." β
Xu Qing smiled indifferently and stopped talking, drinking wine and eating meat quickly filled his stomach, Qiqige had already prepared a skin full of wine, Qiangba would not follow him to the Chahara tribe, even if he went, it was useless, it was nothing more than multiple people talking.
The two horses were ready, Xu Qing took the leather bag handed by Qi Qige and hung it up, pressed his palms on the saddle, and got on the horse's back.
Qiqige handed over another horsewhip and whispered, "Battle, will you come back?" β
Xu Qing smiled slightly and said, "When I'm done, I'll definitely come back and drink the wine you brewed, and then you don't think I've drunk too much." β
A sweet smile appeared on his face again, and he shook his head and said, "No, even if you drink all the wine I brewed, I will definitely prepare the best wine to welcome you!" β
Xu Qing smiled, took out another piece of jade from his pocket and threw it to Qi Qige: "This is a gift for you, a very beautiful green stone." β
Qiqige caught the jade, pressed it to his heart with a happy face, and only heard Xu Qing shout: "Drive!" The horses ran into the depths of the prairie.
The two horses galloped on the grassland, and with the unlost wine, Xu Qing's riding speed also accelerated several times, and he bowed his head, his chin was almost resting on the back of the horse's neck.
Dalen didn't want to ruin his interest, so he followed closely behind, to be honest, this Battle knew at a glance that he was a man who had never ridden a horse, and he only needed to clip the horse's belly to catch up with him, but in order to save the other party's face, he had to enjoy the fun of riding!
The Chahara tribe is more than 500 miles away from the yurt of Qiangba, so these two horses alone will not be able to run for an afternoon, unless there is the legendary BMW horse that travels thousands of miles a day, so the two of them must have to spend the night on the steppe tonight.
Day by day, people are tired and tired, Daleng led Xu Qing to a yellow water bubble, he was very careful to observe the water bubble for a while before he began to set up a temporary tent, the water bubble is a place where many beasts and birds living on the grassland drink water, but this water bubble obviously did not see the footprints of the beast, the reason is very simple, the water here is too dirty, or the kind that cannot be clarified, it is relatively safer to set up a tent in this kind of place.
It is important to set a campfire before the sun sets, so that some of the beasts that come out to hunt are far away, but fortunately there is a native herder in Daleng, where everything is not a problem.
The campfire was blazing, the sun had completely set, and the grassland in the distance was dark and quiet, as if it were a beast napping, and it was not yet time for him to really wake up.
Whewβ
A terrible wolf howl pierced the silence of the night sky, and seemed to announce that the night that belonged to them was truly coming, the wolves on the grassland were the only strong kings, all the beasts were like refugees who had been expelled, the lone wolf was not terrible, but nine times out of ten of these ferocious animals lived in groups, they were united, murderous, and could even be called disciplined and tactically changeable, they were the strongest hunters on the prairie.
Xu Qing and Da Leng sat by the campfire and smoked, not caring much about those howling steppe wolves, especially Xiao Xu, who had the experience of fighting with wolves before, these annoying guys did not pose a threat to him at all, if he opened up to kill, the yellow water bubbles behind him were likely to become wolf blood bubbles!
Bang! A crisp gunshot rang out from the south, followed by a few low, mournful howls.
