Unfortunately, even the inaccessible grasslands are not paradises.

Since He Mian'er and Chen Fuzi were kidnapped, they have been worried day and night, and have never had a moment of peace.

I slept until midnight, and I could only hear the hound barking outside the door. He Mian'er and Chen Fuzi were woken up, and the two held their breath and listened to the movement outside with their ears sideways.

I only heard the sound of someone talking outside, and in the middle of the night, in the wilderness and mountains, if there was anyone coming, I am afraid that it would only be the boss of the gang.

He Mian'er thought that he must have discovered the whereabouts of the two of them, so he chased after them.

The hound continued to bark, trying to disperse the uninvited guests, but only to hear a squeak, and then stopped making a sound. He must have been slain by the man's sword.

He Mian'er and Chen Fuzi were worried in the haystack, thinking about the safety of Baha and Sunina, and listening to the noisy sound outside, but this sound also gave people a sense of security.

It wasn't until I didn't know how long it took for me to hear that it seemed to be a lot calmer outside. The two didn't dare to close their eyes, they only stayed up until dawn, and then Sunina came to inform them.

He Mian'er looked at Sunina and gestured to her with a happy face, probably guessing that the boss had come, and after looking for it, she had already left.

Baha warmly invited them back to the yurt for breakfast, but He Mian'er hesitated. She turned to Master Chen and asked, "Based on what you know about that person, what are the chances of that person turning back?" ”

Master Chen pondered for a moment and said: "Among the three, the third is impulsive and reckless, and the second is greedy and cunning, but this boss is a scheming person who is also very thoughtful. ”

He Mian'er nodded, she took this into account, so she didn't want to show up rashly. After comparing with Baha and Sunina, the other party finally understood what He Mian'er meant.

Instead of prompting them to come out, he took more food and put it in the haystack, and carefully covered them up.

It was dark before, and He Mian'er and Master Chen were tired and sleepy, so they could only sleep with their heads bored. At this moment, it was a hundred days outside, and the two of them were huddled in a small haystack, but they were also a little restrained.

Fortunately, the two have shared joys and sorrows in the past few days, and the two are a little more familiar. There is only a pair of chatting about the day, gossip in the market, anecdotes, wild history anecdotes, everything is discussed, a little less urgency to escape, and a little more calm.

For the whole day of this day, I did not see the boss again. For a while, even He Mian'er was a little hesitant, didn't she guess wrong, this boss saw that he couldn't find someone, so he left?

Until dusk, He Mian'er curled up in this haystack for a day, only to feel sore, and Sunina kindly came over to bring them food. He Mian'er had just received the food, only to hear the sound of horses' hooves approaching in the distance.

Things were in a hurry, and after Sunina covered the hay, she took a bundle of hay and prepared to go back to boil water. It's bumping into someone, and it's the boss who came yesterday.

He Mian'er listened carefully with her ears sideways, this time the boss seemed to be much more impatient, rummaging around in the yurt, trying to find their traces.

The boss, who had returned again in vain, snatched some food and left on horseback.

He Mian'er was finally relieved, and she walked out of the haystack. But in the comparison with Sunina, she learned that there was only Sunina and Baha, a herdsman in a radius of twenty miles.

They were planning to exchange things with the Great Xiao Kingdom, so they left their clansmen and came to this frontier land.

For the sake of safety, she still hid with Master Chen again. After all, to the east of this place is the pass of the Great Xiao Kingdom, and if they go this way, they will definitely bump into the boss who has returned.

To the north is the territory of Mobei, and they will not choose to throw themselves into the net. There are only two roads left to the west and south.

With the strength of their feet, they don't stop every day, and they can't outrun a horse on this grassland. The reason why the boss came here twice must not be found.

That night, she was dozing off in a daze, when she saw that Master Chen suddenly opened his eyes and sat up straight. He Mian'er was startled, and hurriedly whispered, "But what's wrong?" ”

Master Chen shook his head, and before he could speak, two lines of clear tears flowed down.

He Mian'er was shocked, except for five-year-old Xu Shaodong, she had never seen other men cry, let alone this kind of unconcealed tears.

She was silent at the moment, not daring to ask more. I only heard that Master Chen choked up: "My mother died." ”

He Mian'er knew that his mother was the wise lady in the Puhui nunnery, and before they were kidnapped, the lady had been seriously ill in bed for many days, and there seemed to be no signs of improvement.

It's just that he died suddenly. Thinking of this, He Mian'er comforted: "Don't think about it, let's go back to Beijing in a few days." ”

Master Chen shook his head with a heavy face, pointed to his heart and said, "I can sense it, my mother has just gone." ”

He Mian'er could only squeeze Master Chen's hand, hoping to give him some comfort. She couldn't imagine what would happen to her mother, who had always loved her the most, if she left.

The two spent the night in silence until dawn, and never saw the boss again.

He Mian'er was uneasy, and hid for another day, but she still didn't see the boss, so she was relieved and came out of the haystack.

Baha and Sunina were very happy and gave them a warm welcome. It's just that Master Chen's mother is newly mourned, not oily, and it is sad and cold, but in just two days, she has lost a lot of weight.

He Mian'er knew that without further ado, she and Master Chen were missing, and the family didn't know what to do. That Master Chen needed to rush back to the funeral.

So he proposed to Sunina and Baha, wanting to borrow their horses to drive back to the border. In order to thank this simple Mongolian couple for their sacrificial hiding and hospitality, He Mian'er wanted to give them the silver tickets sewn in the clothes in their arms, but unexpectedly, they didn't need the Han silver tickets at all, and there was nowhere to redeem them in this vast grassland.

Even the only golden hairpin that He Mian'er could get her hands on, Sunina resolutely refused to accept it. Instead, she was given a traditional Mongolian headdress inlaid with turquoise.

A warm current rose in He Mian'er's chest, she has always been the most grateful and grateful, knowing that if she leaves this time, she is afraid that she will never see this couple again.

She suddenly remembered the flock of sheep that the boss and the others had taken with them when they left the border. The boss of this group of sheep will definitely not care anymore, in the grassland, where is there a better gift of gratitude than to give the herdsmen sheep?

Thinking of this, He Mian'er told Master Chen about his idea, and then drew a picture of Na Baharen, mentioning that there was a group of ownerless sheep in the direction where he came.

Baha nodded, and rode out on his steed to drive the flock. He Mian'er discussed with Chen Fuzi about returning to Beijing.

Unfortunately, their ideas could not be realized.
