Chapter 85: The Ancient Fea Grassland (2)
The luggage of the two of them is not much, and it is very easy for the two horses holding the luggage. As he made his way north, Lorain Hill met orcs of different races.
Their appearance is mostly similar to that of humans, but the main difference is some animal features, such as horns or ears on their heads, and tails behind them.
These orcs rode horses to graze on the grasslands, and they drove their flocks and cattle in constant rotation. Occasionally, you can still hear their vast singing, the song tune is not long, often only a few lines, and the ancient ballad gives people the feeling of soaring like an eagle soaring in the sky, unrestrained and long.
When it gets dark, Nia and Lorain take off the packed tent on their horses, build it and spread a soft carpet, and they sleep in a small tent about two meters in diameter.
Luckily, it's neither hot nor cold, so sleeping in a tent isn't too uncomfortable.
After crossing two rivers in the grassland, we headed northwest for another two days to reach Nia's hometown, where the Giethoorn live.
The two of them rode their horses and trotted down the grassland, the bells hanging from their necks rang from time to time, and they trampled over the soft earth, and the horses' hooves brought up some grass clippings and dirt. After climbing over a low hill, the sound of horses' hooves gradually slowed down.
"See, that tall hill in the distance?" Nia said, pointing into the distance.
The sun gradually sets, red, orange, and purple stain the clouds in the sky, the warm yellow light fills the world, the distant hills rise curling green smoke, thousands of white sheep slowly move slowly on the grassland, a few sheepdogs run around the sheep, making bursts of barking.
"Is this where Nia grew up?" Brushing aside her long, wind-blown hair, Loren Hill looked at the beautiful world, and then two small figures gradually approached the huge tents under the hills.
-------------------------
The tall tent was about five meters high, and it was lit with huge candles that were usually reluctant to use. The scent of burning candles and the smell of grass blend indoors. There are many people standing in the tent with a diameter of about ten meters, most of them are wearing leather jackets, and most of them have rough hands and dark skin due to years of labor.
When Nia and Lorain arrived, many people from the village came to see them, their eyes full of curiosity.
"Are you okay in Emenas?" An uncle and elder asked eagerly.
"What time is the sequence now?" Quite a few people are also concerned about this.
"How long will Nia be back?" An old man asked kindly.
"Did Sister Niya bring anything delicious back?" A few children surrounded her.
The small room was crowded with about twenty clansmen, all of whom had curved horns on their heads, some larger, some smaller, standing closer, and sometimes the horns on their heads would collide with each other, making a slight sound.
Everyone asked all kinds of questions curiously, and many people secretly observed Loraine, the black-haired beauty standing next to Niya.
This dark-haired girl, with a soft and excellent countenance, and no obvious extra features on her body, could she be human? It seems that he is still far away from the East.
Although he didn't speak, he just stood there quietly, and his beautiful face and figure made many young people of the Sheephorn tribe swaying and admiring him.
Finally, a young man asked with curiosity and desire surging in his heart.
"Nia, who is this one next to you?"
"This is my classmate, Loraine, and she's from Clancy." Niya introduced herself to the people in front of her.
Now a pile of dry firewood was lit, and everyone's curiosity could no longer be suppressed, and they asked all kinds of questions. Seeing that the scene was a little out of control, Niya slapped her palms, and red flames flashed in the air, separating everyone before driving everyone out.
"I'm sorry, Loraine, for making you laugh." Niya felt a little ashamed, most of her own people didn't know how to be polite, if it wasn't for herself and a few elders to control the scene just now, I'm afraid someone would say something out of line.
"Nothing?" Lorain Hill shook her head, she wasn't such a small person, she was just a little surprised.
Dinner is a barbecue with some vegetables, and the herdsmen's unique goat milk tea is drunk.
The red charcoal burned in the brazier, and Niya brought a small iron barbecue, sliced the lamb on the grill and roasted it, and then sprinkled some salt and other spices, and the aroma escaped. When the meat turns yellow and comes out with a burst of oil, then pick it up and put it on a white plate, let it cool a little before eating, so as not to burn your mouth.
Watching Nia concentrate on the barbecue and appearance, Lorain Hill felt a little strange.
Niya is a sheep horn clan, roasting mutton, and putting goat milk tea next to it, I always feel that something is wrong.
"Does Nia like lamb?" Finally, Lorain Hill couldn't help but be curious and asked.
"Well, I like it better, what's wrong?" Nia looked up and looked at Loraine's gaze, and in a blink of an eye she understood why.
"Loraine is thinking of something strange." The firelight shone on her face, smiled, and continued.
"The sheephorns just have horns similar to sheep, and they have nothing to do with sheep."
"If you change to the common wolf-eared orcs eating mutton, I guess you will feel normal."
"Give." Nia handed over the plate, which already contained several slices of roasted meat.
"Thank you." Luo Lan took out chopsticks, picked up a slice, and ate it in small bites.
Freshly roasted, with heat, the taste is very good, slightly chewy, and slightly spicy.
Nia herself put the baked slice in her mouth and ate it slowly.
After eating, drink a cup of warm goat milk tea to dilute the greasy in the mouth, the tea aroma and milk smell are diffused in the cavity, and the warm lower stomach makes people very comfortable and want to sleep.
"Have you eaten enough?" After roasting the meat, Niya also held the cup and asked in a low voice.
"Almost." Lorain Hill doesn't have a lot of food.
"That's probably not enough." Nia stood up, ready to go get some more.
"No, it's late." Loren didn't think there was any need to bother, and besides, she knew from Nia's previous conversations that even herders don't eat meat every day.
"No, if Loren gets thinner after I go back, everyone will talk about me." Nia blinked and refused.
Then she opened the curtain of the tent, and after going out for a while, she came in with a plate of things.
When you open the copper lid, you will find a boxy piece like tofu with a pale yellow color. Niya sliced it with a knife, and a burst of milky smell escaped.
"This is a relatively good quality cheese, filtered and cooked several times before it is made, it is very clean, so you can eat it with confidence."
Nia placed the small pieces of cut cheese in front of Lorain Hill, fearing that she would not be at ease, and explained again.
