Li Hongji lay prone on Ulan Sobud's back, he supported the ground with both hands, and lightly pressed on Ulan Sobud's body, stunned for a while, not knowing what to do.

"Gege, Gege......" Lan Lan saw that Ulan Sobud had fallen, and Li Hongji was still pressing on her body, and she was in a hurry, she suddenly stepped on the war horse and rushed towards the place where the two fell.

Lan Lan didn't have time to jump off the war horse, and with a "whew", the small pony whip in his hand slammed towards Li Hongji's buttocks.

Li Hongji let out an "ouch" and rolled down from Ulan Sobud's body, stroking the whiplash on his buttocks with his left hand.

Ulan Sobud came to her senses, she rolled over and found Li Hongji rolling on the ground, while Lan Lan held the horsewhip in her hand and looked angry.

"Gege, are you alright?" Mei Mei also rushed forward.

"I'm fine, Mongolian women are not so delicate, wrestling and riding horses, isn't it common?" Ulan Sobud glared at Lan Lan, but his gaze turned to Li Hongji.

Li Hongji slowly got up from the ground, his left hand still caressing his hips.

Ulan Sobud was expressionless: "How are you?" ”

"It's okay, it's okay." Li Hongji said as he touched his buttocks again.

Ulan Sobud glared at Lan Lan fiercely again: "I want you to be troublesome!" ”

Lan Lan shuddered and hurriedly retreated to the back of the crowd.

Li Hongji felt uneasy, and he came to Ulan Sobud: "Gege doesn't have to blame him, I'm fine." ”

"You have to take care of it!" Ulan Sobud raised his little face and glanced at Li Hongji fiercely, "You are not a good person. ”

"Hey, hey!" Li Hongji smiled wryly, "Gege, are we riding a horse or walking?" ”

"Horseback riding." Ulan Sobud turned around, took the reins of the horse from Mei Mei's hand, and flew on the war horse, "Drive!" She whipped her hard and whipped it on the horse's buttocks.

Li Hongji felt as if he felt it in his heart, and subconsciously touched his buttocks, which caused everyone to laugh.

He also stepped on the war horse, but his hips could not be forced, and he did not dare to urge the war horse.

Ulan Sobud ran for a while, not hearing the sound of horses' hooves behind her, she secretly looked back, and Li Hongji was far behind. She tightened the reins of her horse and slowed it down.

Lan Lan and Mei Mei caught up first, "Gege, where are we going?" ”

Ulan Sobud didn't answer, she looked up at the sky, the sun was already approaching overhead, "Let's rest first!" I ran all morning, already hungry, and started eating.

The three of them turned over and dismounted, and Li Hongji also came over, "Gege? ”

"I'm hungry, open dinner, aren't you hungry?" Ulan Sobud didn't look at Li Hongji either.

"I'm really hungry." Li Hongji looked up at the sun, followed the direction of the sun, and chased it to Ulan Sobud's face, and Ulan Sobud's face was faintly covered with a layer of ice.

Li Hongji thought about it, he was the messenger of the Ming Dynasty, and although Ulan Sobud was Gege, he was responsible for receiving the people who accompanied him, "Gege, where is lunch?" How can I not see it? ”

"What a stupid! Not on horseback? Ulan Sobud sneered, and then she snickered to herself, "Go ahead, Meimei, he's a man, clumsy." ”

Mei Mei opened the package on Li Hongji's horse's back and expertly found a large piece of cooked beef and a pot of water from it, while Lan Lan went to the nearby ground to look for weeds and dead trees.

Three fires were lit on the ground, and Li Hongji sat around Ulan Sobud, Lan Lan, and Mei Mei, and Li Hongji's ten entourages lit two other bonfires.

Mei Mei skewered the cooked beef with dead wood and handed it to Li Hongji: "Hongji, the beef is already cold, roast it on the fire!" ”

Li Hongji followed their example and stretched out the cooked beef on the bonfire.

Ulan Sobud looked at it for a while, and couldn't help it: "It's so stupid, I can't roast beef." She snatched the beef from Li Hongji's hand and roasted it on the flame herself.

"Gege, is there anything special about this?" Li Hongji has grilled beef and mutton.

"We divide the flame into three layers, and the higher you go, the hotter the flame gets. But at the top of the flame, there is the most soot, and the beef will have a burnt smell after roasting for a long time, this is boiled beef, it doesn't need to be roasted for a long time, as long as it is hot, it should be placed in the middle of the campfire. Ulan Sobud said as he kept tumbling the beef.

Estimating that the beef was already hot, she stretched out five slender fingers and gently kneaded the hot beef, "It's hot on the outside, it's still the inside, it's not hot yet." She seemed to be talking to herself, and she seemed to be teaching Li Hongji.

When the beef is fully heated inside and out, Ulan Sobud takes out the salt and pepper, sprinkles it evenly on the beef, and roasts it for a while to allow the salt and pepper to fully penetrate the beef.

She handed the beef to Li Hongji, "Oh, you taste it first, and see if you put enough salt and pepper." ”

Li Hongji took the dead wooden stick, opened his mouth and took a bite of the beef, "Yes, the pepper and salt are just right, and the roasting is also hot, Gege's craftsmanship is good!" ”

Ulan Sobud lowered his head, but his eyes were fixed on the campfire in a daze.

"Gege, what about you?" Li Hongji remembered that Ulan Sobud had long said that she was hungry, but now she didn't have to eat just roast beef for herself.

"Gege, let's eat this first!" Lan Lan glared at Li Hongji again, but handed a small piece of beef that had been roasted hot to Ulan Sobud's hand.

Ulan Sobud was not polite, grabbed the beef and stuffed it into his mouth, while praising vaguely: "Well, yes, Lan Lan's craftsmanship is good, it's just ...... It's just that sometimes it's a little impatient. After speaking, she also glanced at Li Hongji.

Li Hongji is a native of Shaanxi Province, and he is used to eating beef and mutton, but today he is eating authentic roast beef, which tastes particularly positive, fresh and greasy, spicy and spicy, his mouth is stuffed with beef, and when he saw Ulan Sobud looking at him meaningfully, he had to agree vaguely.

Eat the beef, Li Hongji twisted the kettle and drank the water, the water in the kettle was already cold, and it was almost frozen.

Li Hongji was extremely cool, he opened his mouth and spat lightly out air.

"I don't know if you're used to our Mongolian mare's milk tea, so the kettle I gave you was filled with water...... If you want mare's milk tea, I have ...... here" Ulan Sobud didn't know what Li Hongji meant by exhaling, and thought that Li Hongji couldn't stand the cold water.

"It's okay, it's okay, cold water is the best, just cool down the stomach."

"And ...... you?"

"I have learned what it means to be two heavens of ice and fire."

"Hahaha......" Ulan Sobud finally smiled, "I forgot, you Han people are not used to eating spicy food." ”

"It's okay, I'm from the north, and I usually eat some spicy food, so it's not in the way." Li Hongji drank cold water again, and the hot and cold hedging in his mouth was no longer as good as before.

"Then are you used to eating our Mongolian beef and mutton?"

Li Hongji thought for a while, "Maybe it's okay for a short time, but after a long time, I'm definitely not used to it." ”

Ulan Sobud stopped talking.

After resting for a while, everyone set off and headed southwest again. However, in the afternoon, they did not run wildly, Li Hongji's hip injury had not healed, and he could not ride his horse for the time being, besides, they did not have any fixed goals, just wandering around the prairie, if they galloped wildly, then they could not see anything.

In the grasslands in winter, there is really nothing to see, unless you especially like to see the remnants of grass roots, especially like to be ravaged by the cold wind.

"Gege, the Jimulun River has arrived." Lan Lan pointed forward with her hand.

Ulan Sobud looked in the direction of her finger, and there was indeed a zigzag river in front of her, the water was blue and white, and from a distance, it was very close to the color of the surrounding grass roots, almost integrated, if you didn't look closely, you really thought it was a continuation of the grassland.

"Ah, the Jimulun River!" Ulan Sobud screamed, and she urged the little white horse away, leaving everyone behind, and ran alone to the river.

Lan Lan and Mei Mei also urged their horses and went with Ulan Sobud.

The Han people, who were accustomed to seeing the big rivers and rivers, never understood the nomadic attachment to rivers and water plants, but Li Hongji still led his attendants and followed the footsteps of Ulan Sobud and ran towards the river.

Ulan Sobud jumped down from her horse, and she ran to the river in spite of the cold, and first took a handful of water and sprinkled it on her face.

Lan Lan was muttering to herself: "In previous years, at this time, the river has frozen, but this year is really strange, not only is the river not frozen, but there has not been a heavy snowfall until now." ”

Mei Mei took over the conversation: "Isn't it better if it doesn't freeze and doesn't snow?" If it snows heavily, the animals will suffer again! ”

Lan Lan couldn't tell, but she always felt that something was wrong, "Don't freeze when it's time to freeze, don't snow when it's supposed to snow, what's wrong with this immortal sky?" ”

Ulan Sobud had already washed his face in the river beautifully, and today's depression had long been swept away, "Hongji, the river is very clear, can you also come down and wash your face?" ”

"Hey," Li Hongji was really not interested in washing his face with ice water, but Ulan Sobud had washed it, and he felt that there was nothing to be afraid of, so he slowly approached the river and squatted down.

"Haha." Seeing Li Hongji cowering, Ulan Sobud picked up a handful of water and sprinkled it on Li Hongji, leaving him on his face.

"Devour!" This biting cold water fell on his face, and Li Hongji shivered, but Ulan Sobud was watching, he let go, and followed her example, squatting by the river, holding the river water, and smashing it on his face.

It was so cold that he was numb, and he didn't feel it anymore, Li Hongji's face couldn't feel the cold anymore, he rubbed it on his face, and he didn't feel it at all.

"Let's go, wash it again, you're going to freeze." Ulan Sobud grabbed Li Hongji's right hand and pulled him up the river.

The night outside the gate came very early, and before you knew it, the sun had disappeared from it. Li Hongji discussed with Ulan Sobud and camped on the banks of the Jimulun River.

Their parcels all had a small tent, and Lan Lan and Mei Mei first helped Ulan Sobud set up the tent, and then landed their own tent on Ulan Sobud's left side.

Li Hongji set up his tent far on the right side of Ulan Sobud.

"Hongji, what are you doing with your tent so far?" Ulan Sobud poked half of her head out of her tent, she had removed her turban, and half of her long hair fluttered in the evening breeze.
