Holding a pot of goat's milk, Ah Wan walked to the row of houses at the foot of the mountain.

The snow finally melted, and the spring breeze descended on the earth again.

This wilderness finally revealed a scene of abundant water and grass.

Ah Wan looked at the tender blue in his eyes, and his heart was full of joy.

Then he thought of the experience of the past few months, snorted again, and pulled down his face.

They set off at the end of September, and it snowed not long after they headed north. It took two months to reach Gaotang in the wind and snow all the way.

It was December, the coldest time of the year.

And when they arrived in Gaotang, they still couldn't take a breath.

Heavy snow has crushed their homes in disrepair, and they don't even have a place to live.

And the Gaotang Ranch is not at all as strict and orderly as they thought.

In the few large houses that were intact, the pastoral officials ate and drank by themselves, while the herdsmen who cared for the horses slept in the stables, shivering.

Yang Shu had a gloomy face, led the murderous generals, broke into the big house, and threw the few pastoral officials outside. Then the herdsmen were gathered, and the women and children were allowed to take shelter from the snow, while the rest of the people found a leeward place to set up camp.

This winter is the hardest winter in Ah Juan's memory.

There is no ubiquitous stove, no hot soup on the stove, no snow in a thick and beautiful fur, let alone a snowball fight outside - is it like to work in a fur? There are endless things to do every day, where do you have the strength to fight what snowball fights.

But, as the winter passed, she found that they had done a lot.

For example, the row of newly built houses at the foot of the mountain, although they are not good-looking, and they have nothing to do with affection, but they are strong and spacious, and no matter how heavy the snow falls, they are not afraid of collapse.

There are also newly renovated stables that are large enough to accommodate newborn foals.

The herdsmen's children were running happily on the grass, dressed in clothes without holes, and their faces were bloody.

Men and women, all doing their own thing, busy and energetic.

There is no splendid plaster in the capital, but everything is so vibrant.

Ah Wan was both unhappy and proud in his heart.

Unfortunately, the man not only drove Gongzi out of the capital in winter, but also threw him such a mess.

Proudly, even so, Childe took them through the difficult time.

Here, their better and better life, and the heartfelt respect of the herdsmen, are all earned by their efforts, not by anyone!

Ah Juan entered the big house, added almonds to the goat's milk and boiled it.

Before the fragrance was cooked, the rapid sound of horses' hooves stopped in front of the house, and Yang Shu, who was sweating profusely, stepped up the steps and took off his boots and entered the house.

In just one winter, he was completely different from the handsome boy in Kyori.

The figure seems to be a little taller, the figure is stronger, the eyes are calm and condensed, and the prodigal temperament from the splendid plaster field has disappeared without a trace.

Fortunately, he is not tanned by nature, so he runs outside every day, and his skin is only slightly darker, as long as he changes into a brocade and jade crown, he still looks like a son.

- But here, there is no need for a son, who, like those subordinates, comes and goes every day in riding clothes.

What is left on him now is nothing more than cleanliness.

No matter what you are outside, you must take off your boots when you enter the house.

Under his influence, the herders also began to love cleanliness, and the chances of children getting sick became smaller.

"Childe, you came back just in time, come and drink goat's milk."

Yang Shu walked over with a smile, took the goat's milk, cooled it a little, and poured it down.

Ah Juan insists that he did not become as black as the herdsmen, and that it was the result of drinking goat's milk every day. Therefore, Childe, himself, and Xiaotong, the three of them have to drink every day.

Well, Ah Xuan doesn't care about him, he is black and let him be black.

Yang Shu put down the bowl and said, "This kind of trivial matter, you just ask Cai Po to do it, you don't need to do it yourself." ”

Cai Po is a mother-in-law hired by them, who said that she fled from the south when she was a child and married a local herdsman. She knows a little bit of Central Plains dishes and is responsible for cooking for them.

"I'm idle anyway!" Ah Juan said.

She felt that raising horses in Gaotang was not without benefits. You don't have to deal with all the other things, and the time every day becomes a lot better!

The two chatted for a while, and Xiaotong came back out of breath.

This girl said that she had suffered a lot, but she was a lot taller, and her small body began to develop.

She now has a lot of fun with the herdsmen's children every day.

"Childe, the horse raised by Ah Song has given birth to a foal!"

"Really? Did the birth go well? Is the foal strong? ”

Xiaotong nodded happily: "It turns out that the foal can run after birth, it's amazing!" ”

Yang Shu said with a smile: "The environment they are in has many dangers, and if they are born and can't run, the probability of survival will be very low." ”

"I see!"

Ah Wan poured goat's milk for Xiaotong in a pot, and heard her ask, "What do you eat at noon?" Or lamb stew? It's either cows or sheep, I'm tired of eating them. ”

Yang Shu chuckled and replied, "Then let's go catch fish in the afternoon." ”

"Yes, yes!" Xiaotong clapped her hands, "Sister Duofu taught me Dongning's fish ball soup, just to try your hands!" ”

"Boom!"

A heavy voice sounded, and the two turned their heads to see Ah Wan putting down the bowl heavily, glaring at Xiaotong with a tiger face.

Xiaotong knew that he was speechless, and said: "I'll go and help Cai Po cook!" Then he slipped away.

Yang Shu smiled and said to her, "You scared Xiaotong." ”

But this sentence couldn't ease the atmosphere at all, and Ah Juan was so angry that he wiped his tears: "Yes, yes, you are all generous, just I'm stingy, I only know how to hold grudges!" ”

Seeing her like this, Yang Shu sighed lightly and sat down beside her: "I know that you are for me, but you also know what situation I am in now, how can I have the face to ask her to come over?" It's the dignity of being a man, you know? ”

Of course, Ah Juan understood that it was another person who made her angry: "Even so, is she just so ignorant?" Even if you make a statement, it's good! Yes, you can't ask her to come over and suffer, but feelings are not a person's business. She didn't even say a word of comfort, she didn't come to see her off, what do you mean! ”

Yang Shu remembered that in the secret passage in the Xuandu Temple, she hugged him like that and told him to cry if he wanted to...... How could she be emotionless? It's just that she doesn't only have feelings. With such a lofty goal, he didn't want to be a stumbling block for her.

"Laugh! You're still laughing! Ah Juan was so angry that he wanted to hit him, "Count me nosy!" ”

"Don't be angry." Yang Shu held back the memories, and had to comfort Ah Juan in front of him first, "She has done something very important for me, which is more important than accompanying me to travel here to endure hardships." So, don't think about it. She didn't come for her reasons, not to abandon me. ”

Ah Wan is still not happy. Because she thinks the son who said these words is so pitiful! Can only wait passively, still like a man?

Without waiting for her to say anything more, Xiaotong ran back again, shouting: "Childe, a guest is here!" ”
