Chapter XXVII

Along the Yellow River, the group of five set off with their backs to the direction of the rising sun.

Changsun Tang longed for the scene of "the desert is lonely and the sun sets on the long river" more than once in his heart.

Although this is not a desert, the grasslands that cannot be seen at a glance and the large rivers that flow slowly will make people's hearts surge.

The eldest grandson beat the horse forward, Ge Long and Ge Feng followed, and the three of them kept shouting like madmen. Wang Tietang and Ma San took off the wine bag in their hands and poured a sip of it.

"Big brother, if you say that you have this wine, I will come without saying a word." Ma San had a greedy face, a look of flattery.

"These days, I have been polite to the eldest grandson, not because of my face, but because he is indeed a good person."

"Good man, I don't like it, it is estimated that he has bad water in his heart, and he is still playing tricks on the two brothers of the Ge family this morning." Ma San wiped his mouth and said.

"After a long time, you can remember this sentence, for so many years, there are only three people I admire, Li Shangshu, the general and him. Don't look at him all day long, sometimes stupid, but there are few people who can do it. Wang Tie Dan tied his skin and hung it up.

"He's really that good?" Ma San is still a little skeptical.

"You don't have to doubt this, you just need to know that I asked you to come, and the general promised you a different errand when you go back."

Ma San's face was solemn when he heard this.

The two were followed by several camels, the camels were loaded with all kinds of goods, and the camel bells struck each other as they went, and the crisp brass bells drifted into the distance with the breeze.

No matter how difficult the road is, there is an end point that can be reached, and no matter how beautiful the scenery is, there will be times when you get tired of it.

The three of them rode horses for three or five miles, and then they no longer had the desire to gallop on horseback.

When you are surrounded by such scenery, and walking five miles is exactly the same as walking fifty miles, no one is interested in this.

"There's a rabbit over there, how about we compare archery, Childe?" Ge Feng didn't care about Changsun Tang's murderous gaze.

"Not comparable."

"Childe, how about I let you take fifty steps?"

"Not comparable." The eldest grandson was a little angry.

"How about I let you take eighty steps?"

"Or I'll let you take eighty steps, and the two of us will compare." The eldest grandson said suddenly.

"Really, as long as Childe Kemby, that's fine. You ...... first" Ge Feng was about to catch the words of the eldest grandson, so that the eldest grandson could not regret it.

"Stupid, you walked eighty steps and the rabbit returned to the nest early, and I am still waiting for you." Ge Long was frightened by the eldest grandson, and he quickly reacted and slapped Ge Feng in the face.

"Hahaha......" The other two laughed insolently together.

"Hey, this fool is obviously not enough." The eldest grandson touched his nose.

When he came here, Changsun Tang felt that the sky in the north was always bluer than in Chang'an.

There are white clouds floating in the blue sky, how do you look like marshmallows, Changsun Tang thought like this, saliva continued to secrete in his mouth.

This illustrates a very serious problem: the eldest grandson is hungry.

The five of them got off their horses, Ge Long set up the pot, and Ge Feng went to collect firewood with joy.

The resting place of the five people is a leeward low-lying area, looking at this situation, it is estimated that it is left after the diversion of the Yellow River, not far away is the course of the Yellow River, and every year the flood will wash down a lot of dead branches and leaves from the forests upstream.

It didn't take long for Ge Feng to pick up a lot of them and come back.

Ma San was busy serving the camels, and Wang Tie Dan used one arm to feed and water the horses.

Although everyone didn't take Changsun Tang as a thing, Changsun Tang was idle on these occasions.

The sun has risen high, but there is no trace of power, a piece of cake soaked in boiling water, plus some salt and the meat powder made by Changsun Tang in advance, the taste is also good.

"It tastes so good." Ma San grunted down the two big bowls, touched his bulging belly and said.

"Ma San'er, don't you have this?" The eldest grandson laughed.

"You've got it." Ma San'er didn't understand what this meant, but he knew that it wasn't a good thing to look at the evil eyes of the eldest grandson, and hurriedly retorted.

After a short rest, the eldest grandson and his entourage went on the road again, not far from Shuofang City, and everything was barren again, the blue sky, the white clouds, the big river not far away, and the five very small people who were reflected.

No matter who comes to this grassland, a sense of insignificance will arise.

A whirlwind blew up on the ground, carrying gravel, gravel and dead grass, coming and going as fast as it came, and disappeared in a blink of an eye, which was very common, and a few people had encountered a sandstorm a few days ago.

The eldest grandson thought that only the later generations when the vegetation was seriously damaged could have sandstorms, but the sandstorms at this time were not inferior to the feeling of covering the sky and the sun in later generations.

The sky was originally clear, but suddenly a black shadow came, and the heaven and earth were divided into two completely different parts, one part was blue and translucent, and the other part was mixed with mud and sand.

The momentum makes people feel like the end of the world is coming.

"Lie on the back of the camel, pay attention to the water and food, don't panic, it will pass in a while." Ma San said unhurriedly.

Everyone did so, and sure enough, it didn't take long for the yellow sand and loess in the sky to pass, although it would still fall a little, but the sky was already clear.

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, your face is covered with yellow sand and loess.

After such a time, it won't be long before this Yin Mountain is getting closer and closer.

"This is the junction of Yin Mountain and Helan Mountain." Ma San pointed to the low pass in the distance.

"Then is this Le Chuan also considered to be finished?" The eldest grandson asked.

"Yes, you see the weeds everywhere, they don't even eat cattle and sheep, but nothing can grow on such a good land." Ma San said.

"Such a good grass, this cow and sheep don't eat it, why is this?" Ge Feng asked with a curious look at the baby.

Ma San didn't answer, just looked into the distance.

Wang Tiedan is the same, three years ago, the two of them set off from here and returned from here, and there are not many three hundred people who can stand here now.

Changsun Tang knew that this was the reason for the saline-alkali land, and he didn't say anything, since he was here, it meant that the Houtao Plain was on the edge, and he was going to go along the Yin Mountain.

In this period, Changsun Tang has a general understanding and understanding of the geological and soil conditions along the way, and also has a preliminary plan for the affairs of the Tuntian in the plains of Shuofang's generation, but it is too late this year, and it is best to wait until the time between sowing and harvesting and the time after harvest to complete this matter.
