After listening to Da Liu's story, I realized that this letter whip is really not simple!

It turns out that cattle and horses are abundant in the north, and cattle have been sold from north to south since ancient times. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info but although the sale of cattle and horses is very profitable, the risk is also high!

The north and the south have been hostile since ancient times!

Even in the peaceful years, the two sides traded with each other, and there were risks, driving cattle for thousands of miles, not only to have water, but also to have grass, but also to prevent diseases and robbers; and some unpredictable, such as the swarm caused by the ghosts of tigers and wolves. At the same time, along the way, he paid miscellaneous taxes, ate and took cards, and if he was not careful, he would lose money!

And if the north and the south are not connected, it is even more dangerous, not counting the crime of smuggling cattle and horses, even if you carry a lot of money to wander on the grassland, the grassland people have always been savage and tough, if any tribe has bad intentions, it is enough to sell cattle and horses to drink a pot!

In fact, regardless of whether the north and the south are connected or not, the smugglers of cattle and horses have their own ways in order to ensure their interests.

But because the smugglers have to have water and grass, and they have to avoid official roads and robbers, they have very few routes to choose!

Da Liu said that in fact, there are only three routes for cattle trafficking from east to west, but all of them are dangerous and abnormal! Since ancient times, there have been three sentences in cattle trafficking: ghosts and gods are only Xing'an Mountains, and 100 bones are Shahelan Mountain!

There is also a saying that there are many unjust ghosts under Daqing Mountain! The first two sentences refer to the dangerous terrain, but this sentence refers to the sinister hearts of the people!

This is because Daqingshan is the Daqingshan Mountain of the Yinshan Mountain Range, and it is also the middle route of cattle trafficking, all the way is flat, and the water and grass are abundant, but there are many robbers in the mountains, and the cattle trafficking will become a ghost if you are not careful!

In this case, in order to protect their own interests, the leader of the steppe tribe will give the cattle dealer a token of his own tribe, at least to ensure the safety of the cattle dealer in the grassland.

There are all kinds of tokens, such as iron and copper; There are also carvings of horns and bones; But Da Liu's ancestors sold cattle to the tribe of a cow whip.

Therefore, this letter whip is really not something that ordinary people can use, at least it must be a rich and courageous master!

In addition, Da Liu also said that his bull tendon whip is different from ordinary tokens. According to his ancestors, this bull tendon whip was given by the leader of the Taichiwu tribe, Qinggeltai, who believes in shamanism, and this bull tendon whip is the left bone of the shaman.

It is said that this cow tendon whip contains the spirit of a bull king, which can not only command a hundred cows, but also drive away demons and fight ghosts!

Because it is ancestral, Da Liu usually hides it, but this time he took it out in order to regain the old path of his ancestors.

Hearing him say this, I took a closer look at the cow tendon whip again, and found that it looked warm and shiny, unlike the usual cow tendon, after a long time, it was shriveled and shriveled, as if it was really a little supernatural!

Then, I saw Da Liu turning his head vigorously, as if he was not at ease, and when I saw this, I handed it to him.

Then I asked what the left bone was, and Da Liu scratched his head and said that it might be a big official, he couldn't remember it clearly!

As for the origin of Hou San's whip, I didn't ask, I did it on purpose, I didn't want to listen to him show off!

……

The wheel goes all the way to the north, according to Da Liu's words, this road and the ancient 'ghosts and gods are only Xing'anling' line is not much different;

Da Liu said it was relaxed and cheerful, but cattle selling is not tourism, not a dinner invitation, nor dancing; It's, tired, tired!

On the first day we were in high spirits; The next day, it felt bland and true; On the third day, the car left Shanhaiguan, although the grassland was vast and green, but we were a little silent.

Gritting his teeth and holding on for another day, the prairie is really barren and boundless, except for the occasional encounter with a few cars on the road, there are not a few people, but the sheep have seen several pieces, and the cattle are not much!

In the evening, we rested in a small town called Tuguhun in Chifeng City, Inner Mongolia, and we couldn't stop if we didn't stop, the road was not good at that time, and our bodies were about to fall apart!

Because Chifeng is close to Beijing, there are many Han people, and the owner of the hotel is a Han person, who is thin and small, but married a Mongolian mother-in-law, with a round face with Mongolian characteristics, tall and strong.

Da Liu Xiang tried to ask the woman about the location of the Taichiwu tribe. Who knew that the Mongolian mother-in-law actually knew that Taichi Wubu used to be one of the three upper parts of Inner Mongolia, located in Qigeda City in the Hulunbuir grassland, nearly a thousand miles away from Chifeng, far away!

And she also said that there are many customers who sell cattle in her hotel, and they all go north, and the further north you go, the cheaper it is!

The Mongolian lady raised her face proudly when she talked about Taichi Wubu, but the four of us were a little dumbfounded when we heard it, we didn't expect this ancient cattle road to be so far, and I don't know how those cattle traders in ancient times came out with just two feet!

Then it became a question of whether to go or not to go! On the second day, it was still Da Liu's final word: "Go!" If people can get it, we can get it; It's all here, you can't give up halfway! ”

……

The further north you go, the more vast the world is, and the early spring is just showing the tender green here, but it gives people a feeling of being green to the end of the world!

I didn't see any trees on the grassland, but in the middle of the Hulunbuir grassland, near the Erjina Left Banner, sparse and low trees appeared on the grassland.

Because spring came late there, the leaves had not yet unfolded, and from a distance, it was only a tender yellow, but I couldn't recognize what it was!

Along the way, go further to the northeast, mountains suddenly appear in the distance, the mountains love the snow-covered top, but the snow line is a goose yellow, in the green grass against the background, the colors are distinct! The mountains slipped slanting to the northeast.

Ghosts and gods are nothing but Xing'an Mountains!

Three days later, we finally arrived at the city of Chigeda, the city at the foot of the Xing'an Mountains!

In fact, we can't go any further, further on is Outer Mongolia, a little east is the Xing'an Mountains, and to the north of the Xing'an Mountains is Russia.

Then we found a hotel called 'Yue Kelai' and stayed at it, and the door plate of the hotel was engraved with Mongolian and Chinese characters, and the Mongolian script was crooked, and if it wasn't engraved in Chinese, I really didn't know it was a hotel.

Once we were settled, the pillar and I went shopping. First, it is familiar with the customs and customs; Second, the body stiffens under the activity.

As for Da Liu and Hou San, they also had a mission, which was to find the descendants of Taichi Wubu, so they went to the innkeeper to check it out.

The city of Qigeda is located behind a small hill, and there is a treaty port with Outer Mongolia in the north, but the city of Qigeda is not big, there is only one street in the east and west, most of them are shops, and there is not much difference from the south. However, there are hotels outside the two streets, and there are big cars parked in front and back, such as Steyr and Isuzu, and you can tell that they are cattle sellers when you look at the high railings! There are also bales of hay in the back of the hotel!

To the west is the government office and residential area, all of which are one-story tiled houses, which look very shabby.

In the east, under the mountain bag, there is a cattle and sheep market, in which there are some wooden sticks and some wooden fences, and there is a smell of cattle and horses. However, the field is quite large, and the hooves of cows and horses can't see the edge!

However, the clothes of the people here are no different from those in the mainland, and after slipping around, I only met three or five people wearing robes and coats!

After slipping around, seeing that it was getting dark, the pillar and I went back. When we arrived at the hotel, Da Liu and Hou San were waiting for the two of us to go to dinner together.

I asked Da Liu how he was doing, and he said that the tribe of Taichiwu is long gone, and how can it still be a popular tribe now!

As for the descendants of Qinggeltai, they were also cut off by the tail of 'feudalism' after liberation......

The hotel is not separated, and next to the hotel is a restaurant called 'Le Kelai' mutton restaurant. It is a big open restaurant, there are more than ten tables in Dawan, and when we went, we had sat at five or six tables, there were forty or fifty people, bustling, with different accents, all from all over the world.

But on the other hand, it also shows that the hotel business is booming!

It's just that when I went to the back of the restaurant before dinner, I found that there was a grass hut next to the toilet, and a white bull was tied to the grass hut!

"What are you doing in the mutton soup restaurant? Could it be that he is selling beef on the head of a sheep?! ”

I felt that this guess was wrong at the time, because first, it was unnecessary, and the price of cattle and sheep was about the same; Second, from the tall pile of cow dung behind the cow, it is obvious that the cow has been fed for a long time.

"This hotel owner is really good at living!"

I have some emotion, when I turn my head and think about it, it's not right - the business is so good, but raising a cow, isn't it asking for trouble for yourself!

When I came back, the dishes had been served, and they were very Mongolian--a large plate of hand-grabbed mutton; The wine is also very distinctive, it is milk wine. With the attitude of tasting, I poured half a glass, and when I tasted it, a bird faded out of my mouth, which was far worse than grain wine!

But since they are all visitors from other places, Tiannan is not familiar with the place, and there is no place to go, so this meal is eaten slowly; Even if he finished eating, he didn't leave, but asked for a cup of milk tea, and he asked me about the price of cattle there; I asked him about the price of the cattle there, and the restaurant became a place of communication!

Some of them talked hotly, and asked each other about their names and customs.

Of course, there are also people who talk nonsense, talking about the weirdness and legends of mountain spirits and ghosts that they encountered on the way. This leads to the taboo of getting out of the car, such as going out of the car in the morning and meeting the old ladies to go to the toilet, going out of the car on the fifth or seventh day, and having an accident or something halfway through.

Some of them were pulling and pulling, and they went to Russia, saying that whoever slept with white hair, how did it taste!

Of course, it also came to Xing'anling, saying that the ginseng diggers, hunting, and smuggling in Xing'anling don't know how many people died, and I don't know how many ghosts and ghosts there were!

Of course, I also talked about some animal psychic things in the Xing'an Mountains, such as the white tiger giving meat, the silver wolf taking revenge, etc., and said that there is a white bull king in the Xing'an Mountains, how does it look, how psychic, as if I have seen it with my own eyes!

I listened to it with interest, and it felt like it was really long-sighted.

And Da Liu and Hou San are businessmen after all, and somehow they got involved with a cattle dealer surnamed Wang in Qingzhou and talked about some business matters!

Obediently, the cattle dealer surnamed Wang was very familiar with this place, and when they were free, I brought up the matter of the cow behind the hotel.

After hearing my words, the cattle dealer surnamed Wang said, "That is the sacrificial ox of Ullman, how can he not feed it!"

"What is a sacrificial cow?"

The first time I heard this title, I was a little curious and couldn't help but ask.
