An endless steppe that traverses the entire Eurasian continent. The extreme west can go to Western Europe, and the extreme east can go to Songliao.

The vast prairie has given birth to many ethnic groups and starry tribes.

Sixty kilometers west of the Wolf Juxu Mountain, there lived a tribe named Horqin.

At the beginning, Qin Feng also connected this Horqin with the Horqin grassland, and it seemed that the geographical location was very different, as if it was wrong.

However, the Horqin grassland was named by the people, and the Horqin tribe was also named by the people. However, in this era 1,800 years ago, no one had yet named the Horqin steppe to the east. However, there was already a tribe called Korqin.

This tribe can be traced back to antiquity far, far away, and it is unknown who the specific ancestors were. But one thing is clear, the current patriarch is named Saisan.

On this day, the wind is beautiful, and the breeze is like a mother's warm hand, caressing the carpet-like grassland, and caressing the Horqin tribe gathering place covering an area of three square miles on the "carpet".

The gathering place is made up of numerous tents of various sizes, with a few wooden houses visible in the middle.

Men, women and children dressed in tribal costumes walked in the middle, and herds of cattle and sheep came in and out.

In the summer of June, the grasslands are rich in water and grass. Around the Horqin tribe, it was really a wind-blown grassland with cattle and sheep.

Around 10 a.m., two riders appeared east of the Korqin tribe. One of them was more than eight feet, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and was very burly. The man next to him was nine feet tall and majestic, like a moving tower.

These two people were none other than Qin Feng and his dragon guard general Dian Wei.

As the two of them gradually approached the Horqin tribe, Qin Feng's heart went up and down. After all, in this life, he knows his daughter-in-law, but his daughter-in-law doesn't know her. Therefore, Qin Feng's mood now is as apprehensive as the ** silk who is ready to pursue the goddess in the future life.

When the two approached, they saw that many people in the Horqin tribe had gathered together. Laughter and laughter continue to come with the wind.

Dian Wei scratched his head and said, "Lord, what are these Huns doing?" It looks like we're going to the market. ”

Qin Feng observed for a while. pinched his fingers again, in fact, he counted the time, and said with a smile: "This is the summer and autumn celebration of the Horqin tribe." ”

"Summer and autumn celebrations? What is the Summer and Autumn Festival? Dian Wei was puzzled.

Qin Feng explained and said, "Our Central Plains, there is a summer harvest celebration. The autumn harvest celebration is all about celebrating the harvest. The steppe people do not grow crops, so there is no summer harvest and no autumn harvest. But at the turn of summer and autumn, the aquatic grass is the most fat, and at this time, it is also the season for the grassland people who herd cattle and sheep to harvest cattle and sheep. They also have celebrations at this time. ”

He said mysteriously: "However, there is another important meaning in this celebration of the grassland. ”

Dian Wei couldn't help but immediately ask, "What is it?" ”

"Blind date." Qin Feng said with a smile.

"Blind date?" Dian Wei was taken aback.

Qin Feng explained: "The grassland is in winter very quickly. Warriors of the steppe, in the most abundant season. Competitive competitions are held. The victor married his wife and stockpiled supplies for the winter. In winter, heavy snow closes the grasslands. The warrior and his new daughter-in-law will spend a few months in a warm tent. What will they do? ”

Dian Wei Tongling's eyes widened, and he shouted, "Give birth!" ”

Dian Wei couldn't help but say again: "The men of the grassland just know how to live, and when the snow freezes the world, they can't do anything." But hugging the new daughter-in-law to make a child, it is really pleasant. In the coming year, when the water and grass are abundant, you will be able to hold the child. Will live. ”

Qin Feng laughed.

At this time, more than a dozen horses, with the soldiers of the Horqin tribe, galloped over.

Qin Feng motioned to Dian Wei to be calm.

Less. When the cavalry came, he was the leader of the team, looked Qin Feng and the others up and down, and said, "Where are you from, what are you doing in my Horqin tribe?" ”

Qin Feng and Dian Wei are both dressed in traditional Xiongnu costumes, and the two of them are tall and mighty. In particular, Dian Wei is very rough, and they are connected with the people of the grassland.

Qin Feng stroked his chest and saluted, and said: "We are tourists from the Niu Colu tribe a thousand miles away, my name is He Shan, and this is my brother He He. He said earnestly: "We are all the descendants of the Immortal Heaven, the children of the mother of the prairie, I wonder if the brothers of the Horqin tribe can let the two brothers live for a few days?" ”

Among the steppe tribes, there are some powerful warriors who will spend years galloping through the entire steppe region, alone or in groups. They are able to withstand the most brutal environments, the most ferocious beasts, and will not stop even when the snow is closed. Such a true warrior is respected by all the tribes of the steppe.

The steppe people are heroic and respect the warriors, while the steppe people are hospitable.

Seeing that Qin Feng and Dian Wei were not mortals, the cavalry captain of Horqin immediately said kindly: "Since we are both sons and daughters of the prairie and descendants of the Immortal Heaven, how can we, the Horqin people, refuse our brothers to leave the door?" Please....... ”

At this point, Qin Feng and Dian Wei successfully entered the gathering place of the Horqin tribe.

The two led the horses, and when they came to the celebration site, it was like walking on the scene of the temple fair, which was really, the gongs and drums were noisy, the red flags were displayed, the crowds were crowded, and the horses and bows were contending.

Dian Wei was lost in the grassland-style village, if it weren't for Qin Feng with him, he would have been unable to find the north long ago.

I also saw thousands of people divided into three fields, and in one field, horses neighed and galloped non-stop. In one field, many men were bending their bows and shooting arrows. In the last venue, the five strong men and the three thick men collided together, roaring and wrestling.

Obviously, the competitive activities in the celebration have not yet begun, but the warriors are already warming up.

Qin Feng was also dizzy when he saw the crowd of people, where to find his daughter-in-law? He grabbed a tribesman passing by and said, "This brother, I don't know where the patriarch is?" ”

The clansmen glanced at Qin Feng and said, "You're from outside, right?" Our patriarch set off for the Wolf Juxu Holy Mountain the day before yesterday. He also said in particular: "Fortunately, our patriarch did not participate in the operation of the king of Qiangqu to enter the outside of the fortress, otherwise, I am afraid that this year's celebration will not be possible." ”

"Saisan went to Wolf Juxu Mountain?" Qin Feng smiled, some of the Huns advocated invading the Han land, and some opposed it. His old father-in-law, Saisang, in his previous life, is against it. Obviously, Saisan wanted peace, so he went to Wolf Juxu Mountain early.

When Qin Feng came back to his senses, the clansmen had already left.

Qin Feng thought about it carefully, and he didn't know what to do about his daughter-in-law, "It's easy to find a daughter-in-law, but my daughter-in-law doesn't know me anymore, if you find it, what do I say?" What to do? ”

So, Qin Feng had no choice but to find a place to tie the horse, so he came to the wide celebration area for the riding competition, and took Dian Wei to the highest stand and sat down. Sometimes he sat down, sometimes he stood up, and looked around, but he couldn't find the familiar look. He didn't find his daughter-in-law in the crowd, so he pondered.

In about a quarter of an hour, the riding competition will begin.

At this time, an old voice came, "Young man." ”

When Qin Feng woke up, he saw that the stands were already full of people, mostly old people, women and children, obviously spectators. He saw that it was an elder in the lower row, talking to him.

The clan elder didn't know Qin Feng, and only thought that Qin Feng was from an outside tribe who came to his tribe to participate in a blind date competition. Seeing Qin Feng's contemplative face, he said to Qin Feng earnestly: "Young man, don't hesitate anymore. Seeing that the time for the official competition is approaching, why don't you hurry up and sign up. ”

The patriarch said to Dian Wei: "Horseback riding, archery, wrestling." Whoever can get the top ten brave will get garlands of different sizes, and you can choose your favorite girl in the tribe. It is the honor of the girls to be able to marry a true warrior. But any girl who receives a wreath will definitely agree to the warrior's courtship. It would be even more remarkable if you could win the championship of the three events, and the beautiful girls in the tribe were up to you. ”

Dian Wei grinned, "With this good thing, I can't marry a girl every year." ”

The patriarch glared at him and said, "You young man is confident, if you can support you, you can marry as many girls as you want." The girls of the grassland are the ones who raise the offspring for the warriors of the grassland. ”

Many clan elders around cast surprised glances and said, "This baby is also strong." ”

"However, don't underestimate others, it's not easy for you to win for a year, and you win every year."

Qin Feng laughed, and said in his heart that you are mistaken, if Dian Wei makes a move, it must be the daughter-in-law who marries your Horqin every year. He deliberately asked, "Can the patriarch's daughter also ask for marriage?" ”

The patriarch was stunned when he heard this, then sighed and said, "The eldest daughter of the patriarch, Da Yu'er, is the most beautiful pearl on my grassland. Last year, the patriarch held a jousting tournament for his daughter. The warriors of the various tribes were gathered to choose the bravest samurai to be ...... son-in-law. ”

Qin Feng's heart was a little unbearable. Fortunately, the clan elder said it quickly enough, otherwise he would have had a heart attack.

I only heard the patriarch say again: "Who knows, when the champion appeared, the patriarch's daughter Da Yu'er overnight, the pearl was covered with dust." From a white white swan, to an ugly duckling. Therefore, the warrior refused to give the wreath to Da Yu'er, and instead chose a girl from someone else's family. ”

Patriarch Saisan was furious, but helpless. Since then, the most beautiful pearl of the steppe has been covered with dust. ”

Qin Feng was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but say: "This is not a fairy tale, even if there is something similar, only the ugly duckling grows up to become a white swan, and I have never heard that a white swan can degenerate into an ugly duckling." ”

Dian Wei scratched his head.

Dian Wei is Qin Feng's confidant, and he is also a rectum, so he will not get to the bottom of it. So when Qin Feng came, he had already told Dian Wei that the purpose of this trip was to come here to find a girl named Da Yu'er.

Dian Wei suddenly realized at this moment that the lord had come to marry this big jade girl. Dian Wei couldn't help but think that the identity of the lord can only be matched by the most beautiful pearl on the grassland. So he couldn't help but say, "My master is right, there is such a thing there?" Are you afraid that my master will win and marry your pearl? I wonder where this girl is now? ”

At this time, the patriarch pointed to the north and said, "Since you don't believe it, you can see for yourself." ”

Qin Feng and Dian Wei looked in the direction they were pointing, and sure enough, they saw a very different girl. (To be continued.) )
