Wushan itself didn't sleep for a few hours last night, and the dinner ended at about three o'clock in the evening, and then tossed around Sally for about an hour. That is, he only slept for a little more than an hour last night.

This morning, I woke up habitually, didn't eat breakfast, and went directly to Wushi on an empty stomach.

Then, it was a non-stop, preoccupied drive to Eurote. By the time he called, so to speak, he was exhausted.

He fell asleep on the plane, but his consciousness was always very awake, coupled with the noise on the plane, he was awake for a while and confused for a while, and he didn't rest well at all.

Sometimes, when people are extremely tired, they can sleep for even ten minutes and feel refreshed.

Knowing in his heart that he was back to deal with things, Wushan soon woke up, and he was much more energetic.

He smiled apologetically, "I'm sorry, I'm too sleepy." If you're tired, take a break, and we'll rest in shifts. Maybe my words are mainly sitting in the office, Lao Gao and Lao Jia, you guys go to bed right away! Old car, you better sleep on the sofa. ”

Inside the office, there is also a small storage room. In the past, when Wu Dilong went to work, he often took a nap in the office, and the quilts and mattresses were complete, so it was okay to let the two persons in charge of the armed forces squeeze them.

"Boss Gao, the troops are ready, right?" Wu Shan asked casually.

"Don't worry!" Gao Hongquan walked in without looking back, and a voice came from inside: "As soon as your call passes, I will immediately convey the order to the below, and the soldiers all hurry up and rest." The car warmed up, and the six helicopters were refueled. ”

"You can rest for a while," Che Xiaojun was in good spirits: "I saw that you fell asleep as soon as you finished the phone call just now, and you definitely didn't reply." Know the way. It's not a matter of one night or two nights, maybe it will last for a few days. ”

"No, I can't sleep now." Wu Shan shook his head and casually took out the documents issued by the provincial party committee and the prefectural committee a year ago.

"Alright then, looks like I can't help you." Che Xiaojun was lying on the sofa with his back to the sky: "Something to call me." ”

Everything, it looks normal.

Outside the window, the cold wind howled, and then the snowflakes fell. The cold wind carried the snowflakes like hail, crackling against the windows.

The blizzard is coming!

Kyzyl. It means red. In our province of Victoria, there are many places that are preceded by Kizil.

Because in Victoria, many places are yellow sand, and many places look red.

In Fuhai County, near Outer Mongolia, there is also a place called Kiziltau. It's just a little loop.

In both winter and summer, the entire loop looks crimson.

The mountain peaks next to the Loop. Also called Kiziltau Mountain. On the other side of the mountain is Outer Mongolia.

In the summer, herders must drive their sheep, cattle and horses to places with abundant water and grass. In winter, these animals are driven to the leeward part of the mountains to spend the winter.

In the Kyzyltau Mountains, where the mountains are leeward, many places are in Outer Mongolia.

Don't think. Outer Mongolia was formed as a state, and their living conditions were very good.

The barbaric policy of Soviet Russia made Outer Mongolia even more difficult, many times. All existed as vassals of Soviet Russia.

For the Chinese to drive their herds within their borders, occasionally one or two Outer Mongolians turned a blind eye to it. After all, their ethnic group, whether it is the Mongolians, Kazakhs, and Kyrgyz here, is of the same root.

When they see each other, they will talk a few words, and the language is roughly the same.

The weather is changing, and the Kazakh herdsmen, who have driven their herds here for the winter, began to shout as the snowstorm fell. There was a commotion throughout the camp.

However, blizzards are also often encountered, they are not panicked, and everything is carried out in an orderly manner.

"Chara, you and Kundez go and take care of the flock to the east!"

"Yes!"

"Uzm Khan, Tolgen, go and take care of the flock in the middle!"

"Yes!"

They were all a herding team, and the captain was called Tuyabai, and there they commanded one by one.

Whenever a snowstorm comes, it is not uncommon for herders to lose their eyes for days and nights.

Because they don't know if the sheep, cows, and horses they are now guarding after waking up from this sleep will panic and run away because of the raging snowstorm.

Shepherd dogs are just animals, and they are still active in the summer, driving herds around. In winter, especially in snowstorms, the shepherd dog does not move as soon as it comes out of the tent, and its feet sink deep into the snowdrift.

At this time, you can only rely on manual attention at any time.

"Why is this year's snowstorm so big?" Tuyebai watched as a tight snowflake fluttered everywhere under the wind. The wind not only carries the snowflakes in the air everywhere, but also rolls up the snow on the ground.

At this time, visibility is very low, and if you are not careful, you can lose a sheep or a cow or something. Or the animals themselves were not lost, but were buried in snowdrifts and frozen. Some people run around in a panic when the human eye is not looking, and they are buried in the snowdrift in the blink of an eye.

Every time there is a snowstorm, the herders have to cheer up.

The wind was tight, and the tents were overturned.

"Come on, get the tent back up!" Tuyebai shouted, his voice choked into his throat.

He hurriedly grabbed a corner of the tent, and almost everyone was carried up by the wind, so frightened that Tuyebai turned around and ran. This is the big tent of the grazing team, and needless to say, the small tent has long been blown away by the wind.

Tuyebai found that the animals, which had been sheltered by a low tent, were even more panicked and fled in all directions.

All herdsmen have to try their best to stand up so as not to be trampled to death by the herd. The rest is no longer to be taken care of.

Tuyebai was stunned by the sight before him, and clung to a piece of wood in his tent, his eyes fluttering at the snowflakes and snow particles splashing in all directions, and he did not dare to open them.

These animals have a tendency to seek advantage and avoid harm, and they can be found in a day or two.

The point is that the forage is scraped everywhere, and when the time comes, what will be used to feed the animals that are found.

Such a severe blizzard. Whether the herdsmen brought out by their own herding team were injured or dead, Tuyebai wanted to find a place to cry loudly. This is a huge blizzard that he has not encountered since he was sensible.

The blizzard was getting more and more violent, and the sky was beginning to freeze, and his nose and cheeks were freezing even harder, and the cold air was pouring into his leather coat more often, and he needed to wrap his clothes more tightly.

He opened his eyes slightly, and felt a strong light shining on the snow-white field, the horizon widened widely, and the low, dark sky suddenly disappeared. In all directions, you can see only white slash lines formed by the falling snow.

In the col, the wind stubbornly blows everything in one direction.

On the right, on the left, everywhere was white and gray.

Tuyebai's eyes tried to find something familiar, but couldn't find it: not a signpost. Not a pile of hay, not a single tent. Nothing can be seen. There was a patch of snow everywhere.

The wind seems to be starting to change direction; After a while, it blew in the face, and the snowflakes covered the eyes; For a moment he turned the collar of his coat over his head in disgust from the side, and mockingly slapped it in his face; After a while, it blew through some hole in the back.

When Tuyebai rolled over and tried to wrap himself tighter, the snow that had fallen on his collar and hat slipped through his neck, making him shiver with cold.

I don't know how long it has been, but it feels like a century is long.

Tuyebai felt that the wind seemed to be a little lighter. He struggled to open his eyes, and his eyelids seemed to be frozen.

At first, when I set up the mission, I was in a tent and I didn't wear gloves.

It seems impossible to stretch your fingers out now.

He opened his mouth. I wanted to greet someone, but I didn't make a sound, and I couldn't even hear him.

Still, Tuyebai stubbornly stretched out his fingers. Gradually, the fingers stretched out, and the fingers of both hands kept bending and stretching.

He wanted to walk a few steps and look around, but he found that the snow was already buried up to his waist, and he felt frozen all over his body.

"Captain! Captain! A hoarse voice shouted somewhere.

Tuyebai wanted to agree, but he couldn't make a sound when he opened his mouth.

The shouting voice was very hoarse, and I didn't know who was calling.

Shadow and shadow were moving in this direction, and Tuyebai couldn't help but shout: "I'm here! ”

This time, he finally made a little noise, and he could hear it himself.

The figure seemed to hear a little noise, stood there and listened for a while, and then walked back the way it came.

"I'm here! I am here! I'm here" I don't even know how many yells I screamed, but at last it became louder. The figure was walking this way again.

From time to time, there were other shouts in the col, and I don't know how the figure could discern the subtle voice of Tuyabai.

He walked slowly in the snow, carefully checking each step to see if it was a pit before stepping on another foot.

Fortunately, the wood that Tuyebai was holding was very conspicuous, and although it was blown crooked, it could be seen everywhere in the col.

A figure was moving towards it, followed by a second and a third.

The last people gathered around the wood, no more, no less, just the twelve people who came out of the grazing team this time.

The herdsmen pulled Tuyebai out of the hole in the snow and kept patting the snowflakes on his body, rubbing his face and hands together.

"Who's got matches?" Tuyebai had a little heat on his body and asked with difficulty.

"I've got it here!" Tolgen fumbled around for a long time, and finally turned over the close-fitting match.

"Let's find a new col, find something to light and keep warm." After Tuyebai said this, it seemed that he had exhausted all the strength of his body.

Everyone carried Tuyebai with all hands and feet to a leeward col not far away.

Fortunately, it seems that this place has not been affected by the snowstorm, and more than 30 sheep have been found here.

At this time, I don't know who said: "This snowstorm may not last long, matches can be saved, let's let the captain hold the sheep to keep warm." ”

As soon as you hear it, it's a good idea. After all, the people here are all young people, and the oldest captain has never seen such a big snowstorm, let alone them?

There are also a lot of snow cubes and snow residues on the sheep's body.

The herdsmen checked one by one and carefully patted all the snow off the sheep's bodies.

It is more than 30 miles away from the nearest herdsmen's gathering point in his own commune, and the next supply delivery will be a week later.

Whether it can survive or not, it seems that the hope is in the flock of sheep in front of us.

I don't know how difficult it is to reach the herdsmen's gathering place in such bad weather.

From Kiziltau to the nearest Hongshanzui, it is also more than 20 miles. Everyone rarely goes in that direction, and they all go back to the team or brigade.

The road conditions over there are very unfamiliar, and you may get lost or even fall into a snow pit on the way.

Tuyebai put his hands in the wool under his belly, as if it was a little warmer.

The herders all hugged the sheep and felt the heat gradually get on their bodies.

Looking at the gray sky one by one, I don't know how long it will be dawn. What should everyone do after dawn?

Whether the people of the grazing team can find them in time and whether they will encounter danger on the road are unknown to these herdsmen. (To be continued......)
