Chapter 39: Prairie Pastoral
The ecological region, whose geographical name is Maori Savannah, is administratively numbered A. MΔori are world-renowned for their love of the savannah, and in the process of returning to the surface to build Green Island, MΔori is the only Green Island that has given up survival on the surface and is willing to continue to burrow underground, and this decision has also passed a referendum with a support rate of 76%. After several generations of Maori people, the whole green island has formed the world's most balanced and stable natural ecological system, including grasslands, oceans, forests, rivers, Gobi and lakes, with more than 230,000 wild species, which has covered 86% of the world's wild unmutated species at that time, which is a veritable biological encyclopedia. In April 21, the MΔori Parliament passed the Eco-Zone Relocation Bill, which stipulates that "those who move to eco-zones must give up the convenience they have enjoyed since industrial civilization and integrate into the ecological system as animals, and the above acts are subject to the strictest constraints of the spirit of contract, and no force or individual shall destroy or distort them." βγ In September IC21, the Gully and MΔori, the indigenous people of Oceania, formed a joint relocation team and agreed to relocate to the savannah in accordance with the spirit of the Act, with a total of 142 tribes and a total of 118,000 people. In August IC39, a group of about 30,000 Mongols relocated to Maori and also swore an oath to follow the Act, becoming the third ethnic group to move to the eco-zone. In September of IC41, the Masai became the fourth ethnic group, numbering less than 4,000 people, who brought a black landscape to the savannah.

Blue sky, white clouds, green grass, distant mountains, dotted seas, colorful tents and hospitable nomads. This is the fifth day that Mo Qiu has come to the grassland, and the carriage stubbornly walks slowly in one direction, not much faster than he walks, but the young people enjoy this kind of life, riding the sky and the ground, riding the horses and singing.
It is a pleasant thing to wander the grassland, although the four of them only brought money, but there are tents prepared by the service station in the carriage, and they can meet a small tribe every two days on average, dozens or hundreds of people, the grassland people are hospitable, the four of them can always be entertained, singing and dancing roast sheep, bonfire party, so lively, before leaving, buy two more days of dry food, store the water tank of the carriage, and continue to travel.
After a few days of traveling, Mo Qiu felt that his mood was as vast as the grassland, and the death of his father and the separation from Su Zhi were no longer so depressing.
Sule said that in this direction, at their pace, they would walk for 17 days to reach the Sirgol League, which was Sule's people.
In the Maori prairie, a population of more than 7,000 is called an alliance, a population of more than 2,000 is called a flag, and the smaller one is called a tribe, which is the name in Chinese. The Siergol League has a population of 13,000, including more than 4,000 strong men, 20,000 horses, 8,000 cattle, and 300,000 sheep, which is the second largest in the Maori Prairie League.
"So big! Isn't it possible for us to conquer the steppe? Tao Tao nibbled on the leg of mutton, his eyes full of stars.
"What are you doing to conquer the steppe?" Mo'er fed the chicken a piece of jerky and asked curiously.
"Stupid! After conquering the grassland, we can gather 100,000 iron horsemen and step on horses...... Gross profit! β
"You're stupid! 100,000 iron horsemen can't even pass the pass of Pegasus, so they have to get along well with Maori, otherwise where to buy salt and iron, the book says so. Mo'er retorted.
"Two idiots." Souler rolled his eyes and turned to drive.
"Two mistakes, first, the total population of the Maori grassland is less than 200,000, and this number includes women, the elderly, and children, so 100,000 strong iron horsemen will definitely not be able to make up it; Second, the prairie people are also Maori and can enter the customs at any time, and salt and iron are not prohibited items, as long as they meet the requirements of the Code of Conduct, they can buy as much as they want. Mo Qiu grinned and spread knowledge to the illiterate duo, which was almost a daily obligatory.
"Isn't that a can't be made a Khan?" Tao Tao regretted, "Is there a war on the grassland?" For example, if you compete for water and grass or something, you can't be a heavenly khan, and it's not bad to be a big khan! β
"Yes, not only war, but also horse thieves." Su Le interjected, every sentence went into his heart, and Tao Tao's Khan dream was burning again.
The peaceful life lasted for 13 days, until Souler and they met the legendary horse thief.
"Uh-huh-lu!" Looking at the dozens of healthy horses roaring in the sky, as well as the dirty and tattered horse bandits on the horses, Tao Tao's eyes were full of stars, Mo'er's eyes were full of heart, and the little girl had a strange smile on her face, Su Le ...... Sule's face was full of iron.
"They ......"
"They're horse bandits!" Mo'er let go of the clucking chicken and rushed out.
"Whoever grabs it belongs to whom!" Tao Tao jumped up from the carriage like a leather ball, and in a blink of an eye, he overtook Mo'er and rushed straight to the horse bandits.
"Little bastard, don't rob!"
"Master, I'm back again!"
The little girl was not good at physical activity, and sat obediently in the carriage, but was the first to notice Sule's strangeness.
"Sule, aren't you going to play with them?"
"What to play?" Souler's face darkened.
"Fight horse bandits, aren't horse bandits all traitors? Don't be burdened. β
"Adultererous Section? Who said the other day, the prairie people are also Maori, and it is not illegal to rob tourists on the prairie? β
"Huh? Then you still say that there are horse bandits? β
"Horse bandits...... Game, one of the favorite games of the prairie gentleman, is called a beautiful name, reminiscing about the sages, practicing equestrianism, exercising courage and what a mess. Souler smiled bitterly, "Introduce those tattered idiots again, they say that they are Temujin's personal guards, call themselves Tiefutu, the idiot group of the Silgol League......"
The magnificent steppe war developed rapidly. Before Su Le finished his introduction, Tiefutu had already completed the great flip from encirclement, to surroundment, and then to total annihilation, and they were put into two piles by two capable people, wailing everywhere, Mo'er was beaming, and Tao Tao was refreshed. The two of them don't have the ability to use it at all, Mo'er didn't bring mistletoe and special arrows, there is not much difference between using the ability and not using it, Tao Tao wants to use it, but since he followed Phoenix, he has put on special gloves and socks, in fact, it is the suppression weapon ukiyo-e designed by Maori Seiko when Colan was young, which basically isolates him from the possibility of contact with the land. Even if they don't use the changes brought about by the ability gene, they will have more strength and faster responses, and this difference is multiplied. Coupled with the acquired combat training, even girls and Xiaobao like Mo'er and Tao Tao are better at fighting than most soldiers, not to mention these so-called grassland heroes.
The heroes are acquaintances, and the three leaders were screened out without much effort, and they had to throw seven or eight meters in front of the carriage like throwing sandbags, and their faces hit the ground, Mo Qiu looked at the three heroes and found that their shoulders were trembling slightly, as if they were crying. Really unlucky, the little girl covered her face in despair.
"You, look up!" Mo'er kicked the leader A, and A quickly raised his head and looked at Mo'er, with a sincere expression, and he didn't even dare to spit out the mud and grass on his mouth.
"Where is Dazhai? Where's the treasure? Miss Ben robs the rich and helps the poor! β
"Huh?" Brother A thought he had misheard, and the mud on his mouth fell to the ground.
"Yo he, hard mouth!" Tao Tao didn't know what he was happy about, so he kicked his feet on the buttocks of Brother B and Brother C, "You two, where are you usually robbing tourists and robbing the treasures and women of the tribe!" β
Brother B: "Raiders? β
Brother C: "Rob the tribe!" β
Brother A was pitiful, and tears fell: "Isn't that a crime?" β
Boom, there was the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground in the carriage, and the little girl lost her balance in order to hold back her laughter, and fell from the wheel.
"Don't embarrass them, a bunch of idiot students, they don't add up to more than your monthly allowance."
What a heavenly voice! Cold as a cold wind, clear as a mountain spring, and with a sense of familiarity, Brother A trembled and followed the sound to see Su Le's handsome face.
"Big brother! Brother Sule! You're here to save me! I'm Kumu Zhe! Wow! β
β¦β¦
Mo'er and Tao Tao rode together, awkwardly following behind the carriage, and they were riding the horse of the current leader of the Iron Floating Tu, Kumuzhe, who was staying in the carriage with the youngest of the horse bandits, Toto, and bearing the monstrous wrath of the founder of the Iron Floating Tu, the Grand Leader of Sule Zheji.
"Hey, Xiaoqiu, have you finished scolding?" Mo'er urged the horse and the carriage to go in parallel, and the little girl was seriously injured, a bag came out of her head, and she was resting in the carriage.
"After scolding, you guys are good, you swept the field of the great leader of Sule Zheji."
"Who let that log lie to us?"
"Yes. But Brother Sule is so fierce, I have never seen him have such a rich expression, I originally thought that he was as emotionally lacking as his grandfather. β
"Probably because he is small, Su Le is the king of children, the same as Xiaoyun when she was a child."
"Xiaoqiu, you say they are really Maori students?"
"Tokhtar is not much older than Taotao, and a grassland man of this age must be studying in Maori."
"Yes."
"Mo'er, you even beat a child like Toto, and now they all call you a heroine."
"I didn't hit it! It was the little bastard who did it! β
"How do I know that horse bandits can't have imps, I still have military status in the Queen's Guard, a serious second lieutenant, that Tokhtar looks older than me!" Tao Tao pouted.
The little girl glanced at Tao Tao strangely: "Trust me, you are special." β
"That's it." Tao Tao straightened his chest proudly, "But the horse bandit brothers are really good, several of them were beaten and cried, and they actually marched and waited safely." β
"Look, the scout is back." Mo'er pouted at the sky.
A cloud of smoke and dust whistled in the distance: "Great Chief! Chieftain! There are passengers ahead! β
Hu Muzhe trembled, and looked at Su Le for help, he was frightened by the heroine and the young man, and he only felt that it was not appropriate to do anything today, maybe he would have to meet a hero.
"Go, forgot what the bandits were supposed to do?" Souler frowned.
"Then big brother is going?"
"What am I going to do!"
Hu Muzhe shrunk his neck: "In case I run into a ...... like Sister Mo'er again"
"How many idiots do you think there are on the prairie who come in without reading the travel instructions." Su Le turned his head and saw Mo'er and Tao Tao's eager expressions, and finally sighed: "Let those two idiots go with you, don't worry." β
"There are Sister Mo'er and Tao ...... The little brother helps, and the Iron Float is invincible! Kumu Zhe jumped on the horse that took off, "Leave behind to protect the eldest brother, sons, come with me to rob someone!" Iron Float! β
"Chisel through! Chisel through! Scold! One hundred and eighty heroes roared in unison, and under the guidance of the scouts, they whistled away.
"Sule, you're still letting them play like this?"
"I'm sorry I didn't let you see the travel instructions." Su Le pinched his eyebrows, "The horse bandit was originally just a game played by our alliance, but later there were more people playing, so in order not to scare the tourists, the ecological zone issued a special notice, requiring all large and small ethnic groups to form a horse bandit team in accordance with the horse bandit guidelines, the so-called robbery is to invite the tourists they meet to the league, and the league will entertain them for free." β
"Horse bandit guidelines?"
"All members of the horse bandits must abide by the following rules: do not hurt people, do not threaten, do not become adults, do not make profits, crisscross the grassland, and spread harmony."
"More and more MΔori are discovering that they are really good at ......"
"It's good if you think of it as a scenic welfare project."
As Souler said, it is estimated that only three tourists enter the grassland without reading the travel instructions. Tiefutu rushed out of the horizon and roared towards the tourists, the two of them looked excited as if they were hitting the lottery heads, and waved desperately at the horse bandits, and the two heroes came out of the crowd, hiding in a beautiful stirrup and running to the tourists, raising their hands and throwing a ...... Hada, which hangs around the neck of the tourist to assert sovereignty, ends the plunder......
The two trophies were gathered into the horse team and joined by Souler and the others.
There is a man and a woman, the man's name is Qin Feng, 28 years old, and the woman's name is Hu Pei. Bella, 24, was both talkative and quickly became friends. Regarding the question of being kidnapped, Bella's face flushed with excitement, which made the little girl suddenly remember her meat ticket years.
Today's kidnappers are really getting harder and harder.
