The two of them didn't say anything all the way, and they crossed the carriage gorge safely. After walking out of the canyon, I saw three herdsmen on horseback grazing, who did not look like local Mongolians in dress, and learned that they were all educated youths from Shanghai. The so-called people at the end of the world at the same time, although it is not a city, but at this time it is also very cordial, Guo Jiefang talked with the three of them.

The three of them probably hadn't met the educated youth from the mainland for a long time, so they invited Guo Jiefang and them to sit in the yurt. Lao Liang was in a hurry to take out the bear skin and bear paws, and it was not good to get rid of the kindness of the three Shanghai educated youths, so he had to let Guo Jiefang go to play with them for two days. Before leaving, I agreed with Guo Jiefang that at noon two days later, we would meet outside the carriage gorge and go back together!

So the two broke up outside the carriage gorge, and Guo Jiefang followed the three Shanghai educated youths to their tent.

The three Shanghai educated youths originally lived in the homes of three herdsmen, one herdsman and one educated youth. Later, Uncle Tengger lent them a tent, and the educated youths had their own independent tents. This Uncle Tengger has a lot of prestige among the local herdsmen, and I heard that when he was young, he once stabbed more than a dozen steppe wolves by himself, so in this area, no one knows Tengger who killed wolves!

The steppe wolf has a high status in the hearts of the Mongols! Legend has it that their ancestors were bred by wolves, and the Mongols lived next to wolves in this steppe, fighting and relying on each other, and for a long time, they developed complex feelings of worship and fear of steppe wolves! In the same way, they always regard the herders who can kill the steppe wolves as the warriors of the Mongolian tribe!

These three Shanghai intellectuals usually helped the herdsmen graze cattle, sheep, and horses, and often patrolled the border posts, when the border area was relatively tense and there was a danger of war at any time. But even so, the educated youth are still willing to patrol the border line rather than stay on the grassland to graze. The reason for this is probably that patrolling is not as tiring as grazing, so you can trust the horse, stop and go, and sing a few words "You guard the baby's cradle, I patrol the border of the motherland······" A kind of ballad, talking and laughing, the day's work is done. Again, one day of patrol can still get the highest reward in the whole commune, why not? Therefore, as soon as there is such a beauty difference, there is no educated youth in the commune who do not rush to go!

The educated youth in Shanghai led Guo Jiefang to the tent where they lived, and asked him to rest in the tent for a while, and a few of them went outside to make dinner. Soon the curtain was lifted from the outside, and a burly Mongolian man stooped in.

When the Mongolian man saw Guo Jiefang in the tent, he said in half-baked Mandarin: "You are Comrade Guo······ Welcome······ Welcome ······! ”。

The two big hands of the Mongolian Han, like pliers, clamped Guo Jiefang's hands. "Are you······ Uncle Tengger, ······! Guo Jiefang asked.

The Mongolian man nodded and said, "Yes······ I'm Tengger······! ”。

When Guo Jiefang heard this, he didn't guess wrong, the person opposite was the famous Tengger, he couldn't help but take a closer look, this Mongolian man! I saw that he had a red face, thick eyebrows, a Mongolian cotton robe of blue silk, felt boots on his feet, a hat of lamb's skin crooked on his head, and a dagger with a silver shell in his waist.

Uncle Tengger turned around and picked up Hada from the table and hung it around Guo Jiefang's neck. poured three more bowls of milk tea and gave it to Guo Jiefang. Guo Jiefang knew that this was the hospitality custom of the Mongolian people, so he took the milk tea and drank it all! Uncle Tengger couldn't help but be very happy when he saw Guo Jiefang's boldness, and took Guo Jiefang's hand and asked, "I heard that you are an educated youth from Beijing?" ”。

Guo Jiefang said: "Yes! In our batch, there are a lot of Beijing educated youth······! ”。

Uncle Tengger smiled: "We are not as good as you in Beijing!" There is nothing else to boast about here except the vast grasslands and blue skies······! ”。

Guo Jiefang said solemnly: "That's not right! Uncle Tengger, you have something more precious here besides the grassland······! ”。

Tengger's eyes widened and he asked, "What are you talking about?" ”。

Guo Jiefang patted his ass and didn't make a draft, and said: "It's our hard-working and kind Mongolian compatriots······!" ”。

Uncle Tengger was very happy and laughed: "The comrades in Beijing are right······ We Mongolians have lived on the grassland for generations, and we are goshawks soaring over the grassland······ They treat their enemies as fiercely as wolves on the steppe······ When you treat your friends, you will also take out your whole heart······! ”。

That night, Guo Jiefang slept in the tent of the Shanghai educated youth, and they chatted late, and they didn't know when they fell asleep!

Early the next morning, Uncle Tengger picked a two-year-old foal among the horses and taught Guo Jiefang to ride a horse. Fortunately, Guo Jiefang rode a horse when he was a child, and this time he is no stranger to riding again, and in less than an hour, he can run like flying!

Today, several of them were tasked with patrolling along one side of the Chinese border, and they set off at daylight. The three Shanghai educated youths and Uncle Tengger each carried a rifle, Guo Jiefang had no rifle to carry, so Uncle Tengger gave him a horse stick to defend himself.

The five men left the tent and trotted fifty miles, but did not see a single figure. Just when they thought that this patrol would be as safe and sound as usual, Uncle Tengger suddenly discovered that on the Chinese side of the grassland, a large number of sheep had been killed inexplicably!

These lambs are sheep grazed by herders, not wild yellow sheep on the grassland. And all these sheep were eaten by the animals in no apparent way, and only a pile of white bones remained! They inspected all the way and found more than 100 piles of bones, large and small. Uncle Tengger's face was grim, and he turned around and asked a young man to hurry back to the commune to report, while he took the remaining three people and hurried to the next grazing point.

On the way, Guo Jiefang asked one of the educated youths, what animal is so powerful and eats so many sheep at once? The educated youth said that only wolves have such terrible power in the grassland! He also said that wolves eat sheep, which is very common in the grassland, and there is nothing strange about it! It's just that it seems to be a little unusual lately, not only are the wolves getting bigger and bigger, but they also hurt people a lot······ The reason why Uncle Tengger is so anxious is not only because he feels sorry for those sheep, but because he is afraid that there will be some mistakes ······ the educated youths in the sheep shepherd!

They urged their horses to run as fast as they could, and along the way they could see the carcasses of the goats lying in the grass. Everyone's hearts are getting more and more afraid, for fear that the educated youth who are shepherding sheep will also be attacked by wolves! After running for more than ten miles, he finally saw a lonely tent in the middle of the pasture. There was no one near the tent, and everyone thought that the situation was not good! Those two Shanghai educated youths usually meet with the educated youths here, and they have some friendship, and they can't help crying at this time!

Uncle Tengger, urging the horse to run to the tent, only to see that the tent had been blown through the wind on all sides and was torn to pieces by wolves! Everyone jumped off their horses, took their rifles off their backs, and loaded them! Guo Jiefang didn't have a gun on him, so he had to copy the horse stick that Uncle Tengger gave him in his hand!

The four of them didn't dare to rush into the tent, for fear that there might be wolves in the tent! The four of them circled around the tent and saw that there was indeed no movement inside! Uncle Tengger cautiously took a look into the tent and ······!

Uncle Tengger took one look, and without saying a word, jumped on the horse's back, and turned the horse's head around vigorously. The horse was touched by Uncle Tengger, and he lost his temper, raised his front hooves, and neighed! Uncle Tengger was like a welded to the horse's back, and he pulled the horse and shouted, "Get on the horse······ Let's chase ······ Wolves ······! ”。 After that, let the horse run wild!

The remaining three people were all baffled by Uncle Tengger, and ran to the door of the tent to look inside, only to see that the tent was full of blood, and the blood was as if it had been sent out of water! In this pool of blood, soaked in three pairs of bones that have been gnawed clean by the wolves, ······!

There were rifles and horse sticks scattered next to the bone rack, and it was obvious that when the wolves attacked, these three intellectuals had bravely resisted! In the end, he was outnumbered and died in the tent!

Guo Jiefang felt nauseous after reading it, but the two Shanghai educated youths couldn't hold back, lying at the door of the tent, "wow, wow" and vomited!

Guo Jiefang jumped on the horse, and saw that Uncle Tengger had already run away, he shouted, and let the horse run away.

The four of them followed the wolf's trail quickly, and when they were fast into the mountain, they finally found a lone wolf. Uncle Tengger and the two Shanghai intellectuals were red-eyed, and they rode their horses to sandwich the lone wolf between the three horses. When the wolf saw a group of men on horseback, he rushed at it, and he was already dazed with fright, and wanted to run into the woods! But let the experienced Uncle Tengger block the way. The wolf's ass squatted down, trying to stop, but Uncle Tengger's horse stick had already been waved off the horse's back, and the "bang" shattered the lone wolf's heavenly spirit Gai'er!

The four men circled around the dead wolf a few times, and then let the horse chase down, and they found that the wolves had scurried into the nearby primeval forest! At this time, the horses were already sweating profusely, and all four of them jumped off their horses, looking at the towering mountains in front of them, and couldn't help but sigh!

Uncle Tengger spat at the mountain fiercely, led everyone to turn the horse's head again, and ran back!

In a blink of an eye, it was time for Guo Jiefang and Lao Liang to meet as agreed! Before leaving, the three Shanghai educated youths were quite embarrassed to say to Guo Jiefang, this time unfortunately encountered a wolf disaster, and failed to treat our friends well, I hope you will come to us next time as a guest ······! ”。 After speaking, he handed Guo Jiefang a large bag of air-dried beef and let him eat ······ on the way!

Guo Jiefang held the heavy beef jerky in his hand, waved goodbye to Uncle Tengger and the three Shanghai educated youths, and the breeze on the grassland sent Uncle Tengger's shout from afar: "······ Take care······ Comrade······ My tent in Tengger······ Always open doors for you·······! ”。
