Chapter Ninety-Six: Staying at a Herdsman's House

"Hey! Let the horse come back~ The weather is cool~ My love~ Waiting for me......"

"Someone!"

Watching the team of horses come slowly from afar, sitting on the back of the head horse is a young and strong uncle, he is singing a song, while playing a lantern, on the night wind howling on the prairie, a yellowish candle light penetrates everything, like the light of hope.

Several people quickly rode their horses close and waved at the singing uncle.

"Senpai!"

The uncle also spotted them, gradually slowed down, and finally stopped in front of them.

"What do a few young people do?"

The uncle was wearing a traditional northern Xinjiang costume, a hat far away, a short shirt with many patterns, loose pants and black pointy boots underneath, looking at the outfits of several people, he couldn't help asking, "How many are from the capital?" ”

"Senior, we are businessmen from Dujing, and we came to Northern Xinjiang to do some horse business, who knows that passing by here does not argue the direction, I wonder if the predecessor can take us to a nearby inn?"

Shangguan Yinling pulled the reins of the horse, and the horse herder looked him up and down, saw that he was still quite upright, and nodded slightly.

"A few of them must have come to our northern Xinjiang for the first time, and there is no inn in our northern Xinjiang. If you don't dislike it, the Humble House can make room for you. ”

"That's the case, thank you seniors."

The group rode along with the team and went to the herder's tent.

As they slowly approached their destination, they realized that there were countless tents here.

The people of northern Xinjiang like to live in groups, although they often move because of grazing, and do not build houses, but only live in tents that can be moved, but they generally choose their original neighbors or clansmen to move together, so it has led to some places here being deserted, and some places have gathered a lot of tents.

They stood on a high slope and looked down through the night to see hundreds of tents on the low slope on the other side of the slope.

That's where they live.

"Young man, keep up!"

The horsemen suddenly quickened their speed, and a large group of horses followed the head horse as fast as they could, and the group could only follow, and after a commotion they went downhill, and saw from a distance one of the tents open, and someone with a lantern came out of it.

Then she opened the door of the fence, and the horses entered the fence in a procession, as if they were spiritual.

"Daddy, why did you come back so late today?"

A girl dressed in a traditional northern Xinjiang costume holds a lantern to greet the horse herder, and the red dress looks particularly bright and moving.

"Today, the horse is full of energy, so he ran farther, which made Zhuo Jin worry that Daddy was wrong." The horse herder showed a kind smile when he saw his daughter, and when he saw his daughter staring at a few young people in surprise, he couldn't help but explain, "These are guests from Dujing, and they got lost outside, so Daddy asked them to borrow them for a few nights." ”

"From Dujing?" The girl's face suddenly had a little joy, and her eyes turned to Shangguan Yuling at the front next to her, her eyes were shining, "How many big brothers are from Dujing?" ”

"The girl is well." Several people bowed their hands, using the etiquette of traditional beams, and the girl was even more curious.

"Big brother is good." The girl smiled shyly, and her face was even more heroic of the people of Northern Xinjiang, "Are the men in Dujing as handsome as the big brother?" ”

Look at the few behind the big brother, one is white and handsome, one is tough and upright, and the other two can be regarded as handsome and elegant.

"The girl praised it falsely, the girl is really like the rumored woman in Northern Xinjiang, sassy and cute." Lu Li smiled ruffianly, and couldn't help but commit the ** disease of flirting with beautiful women.

"Okay, Zhuo Jin, a few guests have been on the road for many days, you go and clean up a few beds first, so that a few guests can rest."

Zhuo Jin nodded, went to another tent to clean up the bed, and then returned to the tent, ready to roast the mutton, a whole side of lamb chops roasted on the fire, making a prickly and scorching sound, and the smell spread in the tent.

"Big brother, your tents have been packed, you can put your baggage in first."

A few people walked into the tent, which was exactly five beds.

Lu Li casually threw the burden on a bunk, Shangguan Yin Ling bent down without a trace, put her burden on the innermost bed, and then put his own burden on the bed next to him.

"My lord, I can sleep anywhere." Lu Li was confused, thinking that the adults wanted to leave the quietest position for her.

"You sleep in me." Shangguan Yuling put down the baggage, and the other three people put the three burdens quite tacitly, and then followed out of the tent.

"Let's see how much we adults take care of you."

Duan Lang bumped Lu Li's shoulder and said idly.

When the group returned to the big tent, the barbecue had already been roasted, and Zhuo Jin used a short knife to separate the meat and bones and put them in each person's bowl.

"A few guests, please."

A few people sat down, sandwiching the meat in the bowl, the meat was grilled just right, fat but not greasy, the outer layer was a little burnt and the inside was tender and juicy, not firewood at all, and at the end of eating, Lu Li Duan Lang was holding a rib and gnawing on it, with satisfaction written on his face.

Of the five, only these two are carnivores and occupy almost all the roasts.

Zhuo Jin looked at Lu Li's eating appearance, he only felt cute, and he didn't care about eating the meat, and he held his chin with both hands and watched her eat.

"Eat slowly." Shangguan Yuling poured a glass of water and put it on the table in front of Lu Li, seeing that she was about to choke, he couldn't help but reach out and stroke her back.

"Big brother, are you the closest to Brother Lu?" Zhuo Jin looked at the small movements of the two people, and couldn't help asking, and the few people next to him were stunned, "You only helped Brother Lu pour water and pat his back." ”

"Brother Shangguan~ Why don't you pat me on the back too?" Duan Lang leaned to Shangguan Yinling's side and gave him his back.

Shangguan Yuling stretched out his hand impatiently and slapped him on the back.

Duan Lang bared his teeth, his facial features were distorted, and he hurriedly hid to the side.

Sure enough, ordinary people can't afford to make jokes about adults.

Zhuo Jin looked at Shangguan Yinling's unsmiling appearance, and he was so considerate and attentive to the people around him, his side face was angular under the candlelight, and his focused expression was only staring at the food in front of him.

If only the men of their northern Xinjiang were as handsome and elegant as him.

After dinner, the group went to bed early, Lu Li lay on the innermost bed, next to Shangguan Yuling's quiet sleeping face, completely different from several other people who snored like thunder and looked ugly, he lay flat on his body, quiet and soft.

The tent was really noisy, and there was such a beauty next to him, Lu Li couldn't sleep at all, so he simply walked out of the tent and sat on the grass to watch the stars.

The sky on the prairie is clear, and the stars seem to be suspended in the night. Shiny and clear.
