Chapter 207: Sleepless Nights
The tall man returned to the crowd, thinking about his handling of the matter just now, and there was nothing good to do except that he had shaken off the matter with Lilan. Master Gao only hopes to bring her back without panic, and that is a great achievement.
Thinking like this, Master Gao felt that when he returned home, he must ravage one of Xie Jinlian or Siqing and Li Wanqing in the family to be worthy of himself, who is good to ravage?
At this time, Feng Zheng came over and asked, "Lord Gao, everything is ready, when will we start?" The tall man waved his hand and said in a trance, "Wait, the wooden man is taking a bath." โ
The leaders of the group of herdsmen who were originally gathered around the bonfire and were still a little chaotic heard the tall man's not too high voice, and they were suddenly silent. They heard the sound of splashing in the water and the laughter of a dozen or so women, coming from behind a thickly grown clump of white grass by the river in the distance.
These men waited patiently for the eleven women, with their hair wet and curly, to come to the small tent in the middle of the four large tents. Master Gao said, "Everyone has been running for two days, and if you don't practice today, you will all go to take a shower, stay on duty, and sleep the rest." โ
Everyone waited for Lord Gao's words, jumped up from the ground with a shout, threw their clothes all over the river beach as they ran towards the river, and then jumped into the river like dumplings.
Gao Jun stood by the river, thinking about what would happen if he really built a ranch here. The water and grass here are abundant, and it is indeed suitable for raising horses. In his opinion, it is definitely not a problem to build a middle pastor in this oasis along the banks of the river.
It's just that it's too far away from Xizhou, separated by a Tianshan Mountain, and it's still in the depths of the desert. Behind him are more than a dozen tribes led by Futu City, and how to get along with each other is a big problem.
Master Gao thought that if it was like Gutuncheng, it would be worry-free, but it was also a friendship. There is no one in Xizhou here, and it is not enough to rely on these shepherd guards under him to pull people over.
But if you want to let Gao give up with a simple sentence, Gao Daren is very reluctant. Because as soon as you come out of Liuzhong Mu and Jiaohe Ranch, you either go to the desert in the north or go to the direction of Yanqi, and there are really not many available wild grazing places. He decided that when it was dawn, he would have to feel the terrain around him again, so that he knew it by heart.
Two maids came over, came to the tall man, and asked softly, "My lord, don't you want to take a bath?" โ
The tall man thought, of course, he wanted to wash, so he responded casually. Unexpectedly, the two men immediately stepped forward to untie the tall man's robes. Master Gao hurriedly waved his hand and said, "You don't have to wait," let them go in and rest.
The noise in the river did not affect the tall man's hearing, and a few miles on the other side of the river, a dozen horses were trotting by there, and the small team of horses stopped directly in front of the tall man's camp and ran southwest.
The tall man shouted, "Just wash and wash, and you won't be a groom official!" โ
When the people heard this, they went ashore one after another and quickly got dressed. "All the people can't take off their clothes at night, they sleep with their ears upright, and the people of the shepherds have one eye open!" The people on duty sent more men, and then went to two clever points, and lurked two miles upstream along the river. โ
The tall man's words made these people feel a trace of unusualness. The people did not squeak, no longer giggled, and acted separately according to the orders of the tall man, and a few shepherds went to urinate and extinguished the bonfire, and the candles in the tent were immediately blown out, and the camp was soon silent.
Lirong was lying in the tent, listening to the tall man at first, how could these people sleep with one eye open, and how could their ears be erected? It was only later that I came back to my senses.
Spending the night on the banks of the Poplar River, far from Xizhou, the night in the desert is both strange and new to Lirong. She wondered how she could have come so far away from home.
She calculated, since the first day of the tall lady went to the Wenyu Hostel to soak in the pool, to this moment, it is only the fourth night. Four days ago, when she first saw Master Gao, she couldn't get used to him, and regarded him as a mediocre official who went to Jiaohe County to eat, drink and have fun in broad daylight.
Who knows that it has only been four days, and if you remove tonight and yesterday's night in the tree, it will be two days when she is full, and she will be cautious and have to run so far with others. Is this what a girl's family should do?
She thought she had been a somewhat reserved and haughty girl until at least four days ago. When I was in Tingzhou Tiandi City, I walked down the street with my head held high, ignoring the reluctant gaze of those young men.
And in just two days, she felt as if she was not the same as before, and in front of the tall man, everything was turned upside down. From the first day she met Master Gao, everything that happened to her had a taste like opera.
For the first time, she casually spoofed off customers in her sister's shop,
For the first time, a girl's family was forced to run to a room where a man was bathing.
For the first time, I hugged someone's clothesใRan in to wipe the almost naked body of a man who was only one side.ใ
The first time I experienced being held hostage and rescued,
For the first time, I saw a big living person who threw one hand into the deep valley,
For the first time, I hid in a tree in the middle of the night and experienced a fight with hundreds of people.
For the first time, ten maids were waiting to bathe in a river.
And so many firsts are all related to tall adults. Lirong thought that it was the first time she had confessed her feelings to a man when she was so old, but the result made her not very satisfied, because the answer from the tall man was not what she wanted.
Thinking of this, Lirong was a little sad, and she felt that she didn't even have self-esteem. However, he recalled the last words that Master Gao said to himself by the river, and it seemed that he was not angry because of his abruptness. Didn't he send ten maids to bathe himself? He also calls himself a wooden man!
The tall man did not know that there was a woman in the tent who was tossing and turning because of him, he checked the outside of the horse fence, and found that many of these people had done their work carefully today, the stakes were deep and the ropes were tightly knotted, could it really be the reason for those maids?
These people are honest and lovely, and he is responsible for the safety of these people.
Every time I go to a strange place to herd, Gao Daren has to personally lead the team, which is really because I am not at ease. They weren't sergeants, they were just shepherds, but sometimes they had to face the dangers that the sergeants faced.
The dozen or so riders I found in the distance on the other side of the river just now, if they were just passing by, it would be the best, and everyone would be fine. If they don't happen to have any ideas, he'll have to think about it again.
Master Gao casually took a blanket and sat down by the river, not sleepy at all, the guard on duty was in the distance, but a gentle footstep came towards him, and Lord Gao didn't have to look back to know who she was. (To be continued.) )
