Drifting Sand in the West Chapter 35 Don't ask what the future holds

The wolf cub saw the she-wolf at a glance, and walked straight to the she-wolf tremblingly, snuggling up to the she-wolf like a child who hadn't been home for a long time. Those immature eyes flashed as they looked at the she-wolf.

This scene touched all three of us, and motherly love is still great in the world.

In less than a word, several sheepdogs arrived in front of him in an instant. The wolves were about to return to the cubs, so they stopped pestering us and took the cubs up the hill.

"If I had known, I wouldn't have gone digging the wolf's den." Cannon sighed. I stepped forward and slapped the head of the goods, and said angrily, "Are you doing this to death?" Don't you know that this wolf is very vindictive? You nearly killed us all today. ”

The cannon was stunned by what I said, touched his head and said, "Seventh brother, I know it's wrong, next time I won't dig the wolf's den." ”

"Are you going to dig the tiger's den next time?" I was really angry and continued: "Do you know that if you can't run down the mountain today, you will be torn apart by the wolves, and there will be no one to collect the corpse for you. That's not how you want to die, do you? ”

After saying so much in one breath, my face turned red. The cannon was stunned by what I said, like a child who had done something wrong. However, this thing is really done without considering the consequences, and if you don't teach it a lesson, it is estimated that it will cause some moths in the future.

Li Tong saw that I was still teaching the cannon, so I didn't say anything, so I walked away early and continued to play with the sheep.

After teaching this lesson a lesson, I lost any interest in enjoying the scenery and walked straight to the rancher's tent. Seeing that I hadn't lost my breath yet, the cannon followed behind.

After returning to the tent, I wanted to find a place to recuperate. I saw Brother Li and the ranch owner chatting together, talking and laughing, and taking two sips of wine from time to time.

Seeing me come in, Brother Li smiled and said, "Xiao Ling, come and take two bites." The rancher also smiled and left me the middle spot. Seeing that the two of them were so warmly invited, it was not easy to refuse, so they chose a slightly sidelined position to sit down.

After drinking a few glasses of wine, I felt dazed, and my head felt like I was hanging on a scale, and I was groggy. This Kazakh wine is not only strong, but also has a lot of stamina. After drinking this wine, it is like sleeping to refresh the mind.

The rancher took us to the back to rest. I don't know how long it was, but when I opened my eyes, it was already twilight. But after drinking, my head is still a little dizzy. I casually washed my face with cold water outside the tent and felt a lot sober.

The sheep on the mountain have been driven into the sheepfold, and without the embellishment of the flock, the hillside looks empty. The sun is about to set, the sun shines obliquely through the clouds on the earth, and countless pillars of light shine in the col not far away, adding a little mottled and agile to the originally beautiful scenery.

The cannon didn't know when he was already sitting outside the tent, holding a cat's tail grass in his hand, and he had nothing to do to play with there. Seeing me coming out of the tent, the creature smiled and said, "Brother Seven, are you awake?" ”

Actually, I wasn't going to score this thing, so I snorted. Seeing that I didn't continue to get angry, this thing relaxed a little. Soon Li Tong also came back from the hillside, and I was very happy to see that this girl should be playing, so I went up and said hello.

"How's it going in the afternoon? Feeling better? I asked. Li Tong put his hand in his trouser pocket and said in a slightly low tone: "It's not bad." I didn't expect you to care about people. But there's something cute about being angry this afternoon. Li Tong replied with a grin.

It's cute to be angry with this girl in person, and I don't know when it's good or bad. I didn't think much about it, I earned it outside for a while, and it was like the dark curtain on the stage play had been completely closed. In addition to the whirring mountain wind and the sound of spruce trees being blown by the wind not far away, a bright moon hung high in the eastern sky, and the passing clouds sometimes obscured the moon's brilliance.

I discussed with Brother Li to buy some things that I needed to eat and drink on the way. Brother Li smiled and said, "Don't worry, just when you went out to see the scenery, I had already told the owner of the ranch about it." He said no, he didn't have to buy it, he gave us something for free. "Brother Li is still thoughtful and has done everything for us in advance. Instead, I felt a little incompetent.

In the evening, the rancher served us a large plate of cooked mutton every year, and since we had been smelling of it, we didn't have to worry about it for days. How long has it been in the United States, and the rancher has brought some condiments to communicate with Brother Li. After a few words, Brother Li said: "The host of this family entertained us with the more famous local food. This cooked lamb is cut into small slices with a knife and placed on a condiment plate. This way of eating may not be seen anywhere else. ”

After listening to Brother Li, I couldn't wait to cut a piece of meat and put it on a plate and dip it in condiments. Not to mention, the lamb is more powerful when placed on the inside, and something similar to coriander (1) just blends in with the flavor of the cooked lamb, and the two complement each other perfectly.

For those of us who are outsiders, this way of eating is indeed a good idea. I quipped, "Cannon, how about going back and having a flamboyant flavor visit?" The cannon hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I'm only responsible for eating, haha." After saying that, he began to eat it again.

I have been eating this dinner for a long time, and I don't know when, the wind outside has stopped. Ran remembered that I needed to leave the next day, so I hurriedly pulled Brother Li outside to discuss.

Brother Li seemed to know what I was going to ask, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I actually walked this road years ago." Moreover, the rancher said that we were going to change the place we were going to and it would take less than half a month to walk from here. And the environment there is even harsher, with snow-capped mountains and ice caps everywhere, so let's be careful. After finishing speaking, Brother Li continued to eat meat with the rancher, and the two talked and laughed.

Looking at Brother Li's figure, I vaguely felt that Brother Li seemed to be more eager to go to this place than we did. Perhaps, there is some long-buried secret in this place.

Since we had to continue the long trek the next day, dinner was over and we each went back to our tents to rest. I didn't say anything all night, and because I needed to prepare something, I got up very early in the geothermal field. After asking the rancher some fresh feed for the camels to eat, and filling the water bag with mountain spring water, Li Tong was sleepy-eyed.

"I didn't expect you to wake up early." Li Tong said with a surprised smile. I replied disappreciatively: "Just kidding, who am I?" Captain. Li Tong shook his head and said with a smile: "Look at your virtue, and you are still the captain." ”

When I heard this, I was not happy and said, "Miss Li, what did I do to you?" You have to run me like this. Li Tong's female ghost shook her head and didn't look at me.

When I turned my head, I found that the cannon had already arrived, and said with a lewd face: "Seventh brother, are you flirting with Miss Li?" As soon as I heard that this was wrong, I hurriedly said, "What should I do?" ”

After everything was ready, I had a casual meal in the morning and said goodbye to the rancher. Following the direction pointed by the rancher, we headed west along the valley in front of the mountain.

The short rest here not only relieved the nervous mood of our last ten days, but also replenished the corresponding supplies. Looking at the snow-capped mountains in the sky, a mixture of curiosity, worry and excitement once again occupied the whole mind. I don't know what the road ahead is, but I still have to move forward.

At this time, I remembered a sentence in "Seven Swords Under the Heavenly Mountain": "Don't ask what the future is, I hope there are no regrets in this life." "If you come, you will be safe.

Note: (1) Coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.), also known as coriander, coriander, coriander. It is a juju of the Umbelliferae family, which is like celery in the form of a coriander and has a fragrant taste, and is a condiment in soup and drink, and is mostly used to make condiments for cold dishes, or to enhance the flavor of hot materials and noodles.
