"Knock, knock." A young man wearing a green brocade jacket, a long skirt of the same color, and a square scarf on his head, with a rather delicate complexion, held a water bag and drank water happily.

"Boss Hua, what's the matter, have you drunk well?" A thick man in a black power suit with a single knife hanging from his waist asked the young man who was drinking water with a grin.

"Tan Huyuan, every time I walk in the desert, I always feel thirsty and panicked after I come out for some reason, I don't know if it's because of the psychological shadow left by seeing the brothers die of thirst before." Boss Hua said with a somewhat gloomy expression.

Tan Huyuan listened to Boss Hua's words, and his face also darkened, and then after a long time, he said quietly: "The most feared thing in the desert is the lack of water, if we didn't drink our own urine at that time, I don't know if we can survive." ”

"Alas! That's right! Forget it, don't talk about that. Tan Huyuan, since we received an order from Section Chief Chen to find a way to the Hetao in the desert, how many times have we walked in the past six months? Boss Hua asked.

"I'm afraid there are more than a dozen times." Tan Huyuan touched his chin and thought for a while before replying.

"Indeed, we have walked this desert more than a dozen times, at the beginning, we had a total of 20 brothers to explore the way, you and I survived, I thought that after such a tragic life and death, we are familiar with this desert, but every time we take our men into the desert, there will still be casualties, this desert is really a place to eat people without spitting out bones, if it weren't for our general to go to the Hetao to find the bad luck of the Mongols, I don't want to come here again." Boss Hua sighed faintly.

"That's right, this time the caravan we brought was 40 people when it set off from Jingbian Fort, and now there are 36 people, and there are two brothers, who are alive in the desert, and they are gone, and I don't know if they are still alive, and if they are dead, they can't even find the corpses. Alas! ”

"Later, let's ask the Mongols for some horse dung, cow dung, and wood, and burn the two sacrificed brothers, and when the time comes, divide the ashes evenly, divide them into four parts, and bring them all back."

"That's not good, if you let someone's family know about it........."

"Who dares to say, Lao Tzu broke his legs." Boss Hua glared and said hatefully.

"I'm not going to say, what are you glaring at me?" Tan muttered.

"I'm not talking about you, what are you excited about?" Boss Hua didn't have a good air.

"I know, I know, just do as you say, who told you to be the captain." Tan Huyuan muttered here.

"What did you say!?" Boss Hua glared again.

"Am I wrong? Boss Hua. Tan Huyuan knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he first admitted his mistake, and then accentuated his tone and read the three words 'Boss Hua' again.

"Don't be poor, we're going deep behind enemy lines to conduct reconnaissance, you know. Of course, we must be cautious, if we are discovered by the Mongols and all die unexpectedly, how do you want the general to come to Hetao? ”

"Didn't we leave a few injured players in Jingbian Fort to recuperate for the time being.......

"Shut up, do you want us all to die here?" Boss Hua said angrily.

"Come on, I'm not going to say anything, it's done." Tan Huyuan felt that his language communication skills were really poor, so he simply shut up.

"Alright, let's go, take the brethren and go to do business with the Mongols." Boss Hua gave an order, then turned on his horse, left the desert, and walked towards a Mongolian tribe in the distance.

Tan Huyuan took 34 other knights, as well as camels carrying goods, and followed closely behind Boss Hua.

********

The vast grassland and the grassland are endless, as if they want to be connected with the blue sky. In this vast field, a Mongolian boy wearing a wolfskin jacket, carrying a bow and arrows, and carrying a waist knife is riding his war horse to practice archery against the arrow target.

I saw him riding a horse, moving at high speed, taking the arrow and stringing it, releasing the arrow, in one go, the arrow seemed to have eyes, and flew straight to a straw man made of withered grass, and very accurately pierced the neck of this straw man, and then he galloped back and forth, firing more than ten arrows in a row, each arrow either hit the straw man's cheek, or the neck and other vital points.

"Very good, my archery skills have improved somewhat, this time Taiji went south to hunt, I should be able to follow."

While the Mongolian boy was pleased with his archery skills, he was not wary of a group of centaurs marching towards his tribe in the distance.

When the Mongolian boy saw this, he did not know whether the comer was friend or foe, so he took one of the feathered arrows, took it in his hand, and galloped away in the direction from which the men had come, intending to see who it was.

When he rode his horse close to the group, the man who rode the horse first in the group saw the Mongolian boy, waved his hand, and shouted to himself with great joy: "Agoura, it is you, are you practicing archery?" ”

"It turned out to be Uncle Hua'an, it's you guys who are here! Great, the tribe can exchange goods with you again. The question you just asked me, I will answer you, Taiji said that I have grown up, I am already a qualified Mongolian warrior, this time I go south to hunt, I will follow Taiji to the south. ”

At this point, Agoura raised his chin and chest high, apparently proud of his ability to go to war with the others.

"Oh, the eagle will eventually spread its wings and soar, and the horse will eventually gallop on the earth, congratulations to you Agoura, you have to hunt well in the south this time, and bring back some riches, so that you can buy a glass mirror for your beloved Qingler. Let her dress up in front of the mirror and become the most beautiful woman on the grassland. Boss Hua smiled.

"Yes, yes, I will go to the south this time, and I will definitely work harder and grab more gold and silver to come back." Agoura nodded vigorously, then turned his horse's head and turned his head as he galloped towards his tribe, turning back and shouting, "Uncle Hua'an, take your time, I'll go and tell the tribe that you're coming." ”

As soon as Agoura's voice fell, like a gust of wind, he turned into a tribe surrounded by many Mongols, and his own tribe shouted loudly: "Come out and exchange goods, everyone, Uncle Hua'an from the south is here." ”

All kinds of people who were originally busy gathered at the gate of the tribe with treasures snatched from the Ming Dynasty, or animal skins and other objects, and craned their necks to wait for the merchants from the south.

In fact, they can't be upset! The sky is vast and wild, the wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep, the grassland is indeed a good place, but the grassland is also a lot of meat, in addition to meat, the grassland needs tea, vegetables, combs, rice, iron pots and other daily necessities are not available, or very scarce, so the herdsmen can only have tears in their eyes.

Fortunately, some Ming merchants in the south didn't care about the objective fact that the Ming and Mongolia were at war, and they wanted to go to the grassland to do business, so the herdsmen waited for the Ming merchants to come, and exchanged useless gold and silver treasures for daily necessities.
