Chapter 18: Lost

After the meal, when Da Liu went to settle the bill, Ullman said that he didn't want any money, he said that we were well-wishers, good guests of the Mongols, and to give him money was to humiliate him. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Seeing that he was so insistent, Da Liu had no choice but to put the money away.

When I went to Ullman's restaurant for breakfast the next day, I was almost frightened by the simplicity and kindness of this Mongolian compatriot - Ullman still didn't want money, and he was almost annoyed when Liu was forced to do so!

However, Hou San was cold and indifferent to me, and at noon he bought a cart of cattle and pulled it back. But Da Liu asked me to cooperate with him to sell cattle together, perhaps my performance in front of the Oroqen villagers moved him, he actually handed over the money he brought to me, and then the three of us divided the work, and I was responsible for buying cattle here; Afraid that something will happen on the road, the pillar will escort the car; He sells cattle at home, so he can sell two more trips of cattle as well!

In fact, Da Liu is shrewd, he has taken a fancy to my influence here - after a night, I will become a kind and kind Han boy in Qigeda City!

What I didn't expect was that Ullman seemed to be very famous in the local area, and he personally invited us to dinner at noon the next day, saying that he had invited us on behalf of the herdsmen of the city of Chigeda.

And when Da Liu got dressed and took out the hidden letter whip from under the pillow, Ullman was stunned for a moment, and then said the name of Da Liu's ancestors......

Ullman is actually a descendant of Qinggeltai!

Looking at the enthusiastic appearance of the two, I feel that this world is really unbelievable - what is the power that makes the fate of the world, the south and the north, and even across time and space?

With this relationship, Da Liu is even more relieved to keep me here. Of course, he was thoughtful and asked me to call home with his big brick-like big brother to put my parents at ease.

The phone call was made to my brother's house, his house is very modern, although it is only one road away from our yard, but our yard is like Africa, their yard is like Europe, although Europe was built in Africa!

At the same time, because of this relationship, Ullman forced me to move from the hotel to his house, and he was so enthusiastic that I couldn't refuse!

In this way, after buying a cart of cattle and leaving Da Liu and Zhuzi, I moved into Ullman's house, and he cleaned up a room for me.

But the hotel was very noisy and chaotic, and I was bored in the room alone, so I went out to hang out.

Of course, the bull market is the most lively, and I get there habitually, but I only look at it and don't say it, because when I came, my godfather warned me that there is room for everything, and this time I went out, I was buying cattle, and I didn't help people talk about it and steal other people's jobs.

Although I don't say it, these people seem to know me, please let me see, but I respectfully follow my godfather's teachings, and refuse them all!

But in the midst of this wandering, I had an unexpected surprise that there was a livestock service center next to the cattle market, which sold nitrogen tanks and cattle essence.

It's only natural to think about it, after all, this is a pastoral area.

Now I was interested, and I went to the animal husbandry service center every day to watch how to collect, store, and breed.

Probably because of the incident in the Oroqen village, the owner of the Animal Husbandry Service Center, Tengger, who was full of beard, did not keep it a secret from me, and when he saw that I was interested, he explained it to me.

At that time, the artificial insemination technology of cattle had matured, and I learned it three days later.

At that time, because there was no high speed, it took seven or eight days to sell cattle. At the same time, all bull markets have a characteristic, that is, the market is only open in the morning - in the afternoon the cattle have to graze!

In this way, every afternoon I was free, and I was bored with my unfamiliar life.

After Ullman left Da Liu, he also went out for two days, and when he came back from the field, he seemed to see my depression, he took out a wooden crossbow, and said to me: "If you feel bored and panicked, you can go to the mountains in the east to play, there should be pheasants and hares now, just don't go north!"

The city of Chigeda was just a small town at that time, and I had already finished my visit, and I was thinking about going into the mountains to see how the white mountains and black waters were different from ours.

Ullman's words also implied that there was no danger in the mountains near me, so the next afternoon I entered the mountain from the mountain bag with a wooden crossbow.

On the way, I was still wondering where the white bull was summoned - I asked Ullman, and he just smiled and didn't say anything!

There were no trees on the hill, but the grass turned dark green overnight; After the small mountain bag, a stream stretched out from the mountain, and the water was a little different from ours, probably because of the mountain soil, the water was dark in color. The banks of the creek are covered with larch, and the needles of the larch are already as slender as small needles.

Of course, there are other broad-leaved trees, and the leaves are already velvety and green, but what is the name, after all, I only went to the second year of junior high school, which is beyond my range, and it was only later that I learned that those were birch, oak and other trees.

After all, I am a child in the mountains, and I have a natural affinity for the mountains, and when I see this, my previous depression is swept away! I also know the point of hunting, animals have to drink water, and as long as there is water, there will be animals; After looking at the general direction, I walked along the stream into the mountains while watching the scenery.

When I entered the inside, I found that the mountains here are really different from ours, the trees here are much taller than ours, but perhaps because the trees are tall, they block the light, and the shrubs here are much sparser than ours; Due to the lack of light, there were few weeds under the trees, but a lot of wild mushrooms were found by the rotting stumps.

Of course, the weeds along the creek are still very lush, most of them have long leaves, but new grass leaves have emerged from the dead grass, taking on a state of bitterness and glory. Later I learned that this grass is called Ula grass!

Along the way, gray hares and chestnut pheasants came out of the grass from time to time, but the sad thing was that the wooden crossbow I used for the first time, it was very rusty, and the accuracy was very poor.

After all, I was still young at that time, so it aroused the momentum, after all, there is too much game here, unlike ours, right, you can't see one in two or three mountains!

I searched for them, and when the sun was red and dusk was approaching, I realized that I had entered the mountains.

Though I had found nothing, I turned back when it was not too late, and at the same time was still very interested, and I was going to come back to-morrow, for I found that my crossbow had improved, and that there was so much game here that I would surely have a harvest to-morrow.

It may be too late, and on the way back, after a while, it was already dark and there was already a shadow, and I quickened my pace.

As I approached a bend in the creek, I suddenly saw a white shadow flash at the corner of the creek, under a large boulder, and disappear into the grass.

Thinking of the legend of the ghosts and ghosts in the mountains, I felt a 'groan' in my heart, stopped, and looked carefully into the grass, but at this time, there was a flash of white light in the grass, and a white velvet thing emerged from the grass.

I took a closer look, and my heart suddenly exploded, it turned out to be a rabbit ass!

It's a no-brainer! I looked at the rabbit ten meters away, rejoiced in my heart, held my breath, pulled the crossbow, and then let go, only to hear a 'whoosh', and the arrow shot over.

The rabbit immediately scurried upward, and immediately fell down, and the grass swayed.

It looks like a shot!

After all, it was the first successful hunt, and I was inexplicably happy in my heart, and strode over, and when I came to see that in the grass was a rabbit that had always been snow-white, with one leg hanging down, and a wooden arrow on itโ€”it had been shot in the leg!

Seeing it like this, my heart relaxed, and I bent down to lift it, and I thought that this game could not run, whether it was braised or spicy fried ......, who knew that my hand was almost touching the rabbit's leg, and the rabbit's good leg suddenly kicked and ran crookedly up the mountain.

I was stunned for a moment, but I didn't expect the rabbit to run away like this! But looking at the way it looked, I thought it was just dying, and it couldn't run far, so it chased after it.

The rabbit was cunning, burrowing into bushes and going around stumps, and running in twists and turns, but it did not fall; When I ran as if I had given up, it also stopped, which made me angry and continued to chase.

Chasing, chasing, somehow. A sheep intestine trail appeared in the mountain forest. When they reached the path, the rabbit flashed under the stump and disappeared.

I walked over and looked, and sure enough, there was no rabbit, and the rabbit in my mouth was gone, and I was quite annoyed. At this time, I was also tired of chasing, so I held on to the pine tree next to the stump and breathed a sigh, intending to hurry back, only then did I find that the sky was darker, and the mountains and forests were foggy, and it was too white to see in the distance.

I looked around and realized that I was lost.

Fortunately, I still remember the way I came, so I was just a little flustered, and after taking two breaths, I went back the way I came.

On the way, I somehow feel that the mountains and forests are very quiet, there is no sound at all, unlike ours, walking on the mountain is full of birds and insects. At the time, I thought it was because of the difference between the north and the south, maybe the mountains and forests here were like this, or maybe the season hadn't arrived yet, so although I felt a little weird, I didn't pay much attention to it.

But for some reason, I still felt something wrong as I walked, because after walking for a long time, this sheep intestine trail seemed to have no end, and it was always unfinished.

"Is it a fork in the road?"

I was a little scared in my heart, but then I thought that as long as there was a road, as long as it was in the right direction, I could always get out, and the general direction I was taking, I thought was right. So I jogged.

After about half an hour of running, a red figure suddenly appeared in front of me.

"Someone is just right, I'm just going to ask for directions!"

With that in mind, I quickened my pace.
