The harsh and changeable climate on the grassland has led to the lack of prosperity among the tribesmen, so the conception and childbirth of a woman is more important in the eyes of the herders than marriage and birthday celebrations for the elderly. When everyone heard that Asilan's wife was pregnant, they gathered around him to congratulate him. After congratulating him, he blamed him for not telling everyone earlier, otherwise he should definitely stay at home to take care of his wife on such a cold day, who would dare to be cheeky and pull him out to shoot hunting!

"It's only been twenty days? It doesn't stop her from moving. Moreover, Patelle's body has always been strong, and she is more active in the early days, and she will endure less pain when she has children in the future! Ah Silan waved her hand and replied with a happy face.

"It's only been more than 20 days, no wonder I didn't see Sister Paddy's belly growing. Aslan, how do you know that it's only been more than twenty days, have you already shown it to Elder Eto? Tao Kuo Tusi clapped his hands and asked with wide eyes. Elder Eto was the oldest wise man in the entire tribe, and he was in charge of all the complex and mysterious tasks of the Susibu tribe, such as sacrificial services, medical treatment, and dispensing medicine for livestock. Ah Silan said that his wife was pregnant for more than 20 days, and in the eyes of the girl, this must have been the conclusion reached by Elder Eto after communicating with Changshengtian.

"This? Don't bother Elder Eto, I'll figure it out! Ah Silan was a little embarrassed by the question, and she couldn't stop scratching her scalp.

"How did you figure it out?" Tao Kuo's curiosity was aroused at once, and his two eyes were bigger than Xu Maogong's eyes.

"Haha!" Dür, Calyx, and Ba Ximi laughed wildly uncontrollably, and as they laughed, they asked Aslan to answer the question seriously.

"Aslan, how did you figure it out? Don't hide your secrets, hurry up and teach everyone how to calculate! Dur clutched his stomach as he winked at Aslan.

"Immortal God!" Ah Silan was asked so much that she wanted to hit the wall. After a while, he blushed and explained, "This, this is a bit difficult. When you grow up, you'll understand! ”

"Looks like you're a lot older than me!" Tao Kuo spat at a bite, and a red cloud floated on his face. From the expressions on everyone's faces, she guessed that she must have made an extremely childish mistake. Otherwise, the smiles on the faces of Dur and the others would not be so weird. She remembered this expression vividly, and the smile on her face was no different when Sister Eru heard that she had gone to drill the guest's tent and had frightened her into running away.

Thinking of his embarrassment in front of his sisters that morning, Tao Kuo's "anger" was hooked. turned his head to find trouble with Li Xu, but found that the dizzy young man and Xu Dayan were pestering Eru, and kept asking him questions about Xingxingtie.

"Star iron is the iron stone given to the shepherd by the immortal heaven, you don't understand this, it's so stupid!" Tao Kuo interjected angrily.

"The master is erudite, and the boy is taught!" Li Xu clasped his hands together in front of his chest, posing as a young scholar accepting the guidance of a wise man. This is the trick he summed up through many days of practice to deal with Tao Kuo's detachment. As long as he puts out the scholar's poor and sour energy, and drags a few more sentences, the barbarian girl will definitely run away.

Sure enough, Tao Kuo saw that Li Xu suddenly became a scholar, and all his anger was instantly frozen in his body. His eyes widened, and his teeth itched with hatred, but he couldn't think of a good word to deal with it.

"The ground by the Crescent Lake is warm, and the snow has always melted with the fall. The original color of the stone is easy to reveal after being washed by the snow, so today is a good time to find the stars and iron! Let's go faster, let's help Asilan find it! Seeing that Tao Kuo was so angry that his eyes were red, Dur hurriedly diverted the topic elsewhere.

Ah Silan was wondering why Tao Kuo's face changed color in an instant, and when she saw Dur suddenly beat her horse and go first, she suddenly remembered the joke about attachment that had spread all over half of the tribe recently, and knew that her sentence "Wait for you to grow up" had caused trouble, stuck out his tongue, and rode after Dur.

Seeing several other people fleeing, Tao Kuotuosi felt even more embarrassed in his heart. He had the intention of giving the angry stupid guy a blow on the head with a horsewhip, and he was afraid that the blow would be heavy, so he never paid attention to himself again. Thinking about it, I was so aggrieved that my eyes blurred.

"We don't always live in the same camp. Therefore, the ancestors did not leave the wisdom about mining mines, and the herdsmen did not have time to mine iron ore! Eru looked at the boy in front of her who was messing around like a kitten or a dog, and smiled and lifted the reins of the horse, separating the two of them.

"Aslan is now starting to accumulate star iron, and by the day Sister Patai gives birth to a son, it is estimated that he will be able to hit a scimitar almost enough. The man of the steppe has a good knife, like an eagle with wings! Let's speed up, don't be left behind by Aslan! ”

That's why Aslan wants to look for Star Iron. The herders did not open mines, and all the iron tools were either bought from the Central Plains or collected by grazing iron and stone scattered on the grasslands. The black stone, which the ancestors of the people called Star Iron, was small enough to make a scimitar by putting together dozens of pieces. However, the quality of the sword is excellent, the blade is sharper than the scimitar made of iron sold, and the blade is tougher.

The only fly in the ointment is that the little thing is so hard to come by, and many herders who spend a whole year wandering the grasslands may not be able to pick up enough materials to fight a scimitar.

The group laughed and ran for more than 70 miles, and the horses and people were sweating, but they did not feel tired. Running and running, the sound of horses' hooves in his ears was gradually replaced by the sound of running water, and everyone knew that the Crescent Moon Lake was in front of him.

It was an extremely beautiful lake, whether it was the lonely Li Xu or the well-informed Xu Dayan, the moment they saw the lake for the first time, they didn't open their mouths and let out a soft sigh of admiration.

Beauty, not ordinary beauty. The river in the upper reaches is frozen for thousands of miles, and the river surface in the lower reaches is covered with snow, but the lake with a radius of more than 20 miles lies between the snowfields like a blue jewel. The cold wind blows, and the smoke on the water surface is oblique and foggy, lingering and disturbing, as if there are immortals burning incense and playing strings in the blue waves.

Li Xu jumped off the horse, rushed to the shore of the lake in three steps and two steps, and stretched out his hand to copy it on the smoke wave. A bone-piercing chill immediately penetrated into his bone marrow.

"Ah, it's so cool!" Li Xu, who had been preparing to touch the warm water, shook his fingers and jumped up.

"Stupid, the water is just warmer than the snow, that's why I watched the smoke come out. If you throw a wild fruit into it in the summer, you can fish it out after a while! Tao Kuo saw that Li Xu was fooled, and he was happy again, and pointed at the lake with a horsewhip.

"Great, wonderful! If you don't come to the outside world, you don't know that there is such a prosperous realm between heaven and earth! Xu Dayan closed his eyes and opened his arms on the horse's back. This trip was not worthwhile, not only did it gain insight, but also found an opportunity to practice the art of war that had been studied hard for many years. I also met a few good friends and saw scenery that I had never seen before.

Traveling thousands of miles is like reading thousands of books, and the ancients were honest and did not deceive me. Only when we see this empty field can we arouse the pride in our hearts. It is only in these thousands of miles of ice and snow that people can see their dreams more clearly. Xu Dayan waved his arms, and the smile on his body brought out a bit of youthful frivolity.

"It's even more beautiful in the summer. There are wild flowers everywhere, and even the fish in the lake want to jump out and smell the flowers. If at night, the stars in the sky and the stars in the water are almost next to each other, and if you don't look closely, you can't tell whose reflection is who! Seeing that the guests admired the grassland scenery so much, Eru introduced it with a bit of pride.

This lake has left countless good memories for the girl, and last summer, it was by this lake that he met Ba Keruo of the Pure Silt Division, who was the youngest patriarch of the more than a dozen nearby tribes. The wind was intoxicating all summer and the stars were exceptionally bright overhead.

"When spring begins next year, he will bring wine to marry me to his felt tent!" The girl's eyes are full of anticipation for the future. Looking back at Xu Dayan, there was a little confusion in anticipation.

"If I had met Brother Xu by the lake last summer, whose tent would I choose?" The girl suddenly felt that her heart was in turmoil, as if a deer was jumping, and the expression on her face became unnatural.

"Brother Xu's arrows are no worse than Bakoruo's, and his horse is no slower than Bakoruo's. Every word that comes out of Brother Xu's mouth has a different taste! Eru secretly looked at Xu Dayan who was expressing her feelings in the wind again, and tried her best to suppress the complicated thoughts in her heart.

"I am in a good place, and you are far away. I cut the red candle, it's too late for you to come......" In the smoke in front of me, a spring scene of Muye that Aunt Qing once painted slowly emerged, and the nasturtium swaying in the wind gave people the feeling that they were always pouring out a few regrets. At the time, she didn't know what the regret was, but now, Eru knows that she understands everything.

She sighed softly, and slowly began to envy her sister and the young and ignorant of the detachment. Next summer, the starlight by the entire lake will belong to the two of them, and I will send my most sincere blessings to them, as well as Brother Xu.
