Chapter 496: Shepherd
Ding Chen does not have the habit of stepping on the road when he sees unevenness, and he has no prejudice against the second generation like Ma Shiming, usually, since they have not bullied him, he is not interested in upholding justice for the common people. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
But Ma Shiming was unlucky to ride a horse, and this horse looked like a miracle horse, which made Ding Chen, who was looking for a means of transportation, feel tempted - for normal men, mounts are definitely an innate romance.
He agreed to walk out of the village with Ma Shiming instead of turning his face in the square, also because he knew that his thoughts were more evil, so he had to subconsciously avoid the villagers.
At the beginning, Ma Shiming wanted to have a relationship with this guy who claimed to be from the theater command, and by the way, he explained that he was just talking nonsense. In his opinion, it is impossible for Ding Chen not to know the combat effectiveness of the robot, and he should just want to make some benefits by staring at himself. It's just that his image has always been strong, and he doesn't want to show weakness in front of the villagers, so he has to go out of the village to negotiate.
When he heard that Ding Chen asked for a horse, Ma Shiming was not happy.
The land in the Northwest Theater is barren and there are large plains, which are suitable for grazing, but there is no reason for families to raise horses. Like Ma Shiming, these horses were also snatched by skill, of course he refused to give them away in vain. And in his opinion, since Ding Chen asked for bribes, of course, it was not a good thing, even if he had to file a lawsuit, would his uncle be afraid of him.
Unexpectedly, Ding Chen turned his face on the spot, took out the machete and directly overturned a few people, only one of the attendants fired a shot in a panic, and the bullet didn't know where it went.
Ding Chen left the village with the corpses of several people on his horse, and then threw the corpses in the wilderness, and naturally there were past creatures in nature who destroyed the corpses for him.
With the horses walking, Ding Chen's speed increased again, and soon he could no longer see the reconnaissance plane overhead, thinking that he had left the range of those spiders airborne. Ding Chen didn't know what the final result would be, but he thought that even if these spiders couldn't be found, they would eventually lose their effectiveness because they ran out of fuel.
Although there were four horses that could be ridden in turn, Ding Chen preferred infantry after all, and even if he was a cavalryman, he couldn't stand it. So in the next gathering area, he found a black market and sold a horse, exchanged for a tent and some necessary tools, food and salt for the field, there is a large salt lake near the northwest theater, so the price of salt is not high.
Although he went all the way south, as the winter deepened, the temperature remained around zero, unless Ding Chen could run to the beach, I am afraid he would have to wait until the spring flowers bloomed.
Although he has been in the field, he is very careful to keep near the road between the gathering areas, and will return to the gathering area from time to time to replenish, so although he has been wandering in the field for nearly two months, his physical condition is still good, but after winter, the food of the three horses is a big problem, Ding Chen has to live a frugal life, and sell his rations to the horses for beans to eat - these three horses are not Mongolian horses with solid skin, they will lose weight just by eating grass, and they will not be able to use it for a long time.
After spending the Spring Festival in the homes of civilians outside the gathering area, Ding Chen began to turn to the northeast, and this time he will follow in the footsteps of spring and walk back in the circle that winter has detoured.
At this time, Ding Chen couldn't see the appearance of a soldier at all, his body was wrapped in animal skins that were sewn up randomly, and the outside of his legs was also wrapped with animal skins. Just for hygiene reasons, I still maintain the habit of getting a haircut and shaving. Make him look less like a savage.
He should now be located in the central region of former Inner Mongolia, near the Baotou area. This area is vast and sparsely populated, and there was no population in the past, so Ding Chen miscalculated a little and failed to find the next gathering area as planned.
Judging from what he heard in the previous gathering area, he must have taken the wrong path.
It is relatively dangerous to get lost in the grassland, because the resources on the grassland are more scarce than in the mountains, and the horses can still eat grass to deal with it, and if Ding Chen is unlucky, he can only eat horses.
In order to save horsepower, he did not ride a horse, but led it east along an abandoned prairie road. The roads on the grassland have been severely eroded by nature, and the snow has not yet melted away in winter, making the roads more difficult to identify, which is the reason why Ding Chen missed the intersection.
Yesterday he found traces of human activity in this area, but it looks like he has lost it again.
Walking alone in the wilderness sounds like a feeling, but it actually feels terrible. Ding Chen's personal ability is considered strong in this era, but it is still difficult to get used to this feeling of loneliness and insignificance, which is why he didn't want to leave when he arrived at the apartment after wandering outside for three years, in his heart, he actually couldn't enjoy loneliness.
After another journey, when Ding Chen began to seriously consider whether to find a place to camp, a puff of smoke rose from the sky in the distance. Ding Chen's spirit was shocked, he pulled a horse and jumped up to take a look, and sure enough, he found that there seemed to be a tent over there, two horses were tied outside, and a two-wheeled carriage was parked. There were about thirty or forty sheep scattered around the tent.
When Ding Chen approached the tent, two dogs came out of the sheep and barked at Ding Chen.
Ding Chen stopped and watched a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy come out of the tent with a steel fork in his hand.
The boy was taken aback when he saw Ding Chen, staring at him intently and not speaking. Ding Chen smiled and opened his hands to signal to him, indicating that he had no malicious intent.
It may be that the people in the tent sensed the boy's strangeness, so the curtain was lifted, and a middle-aged woman walked out.
To be honest, it takes imagination to meet a beautiful woman in this era, after all, heavy labor and harsh natural environment make women have to use themselves as men, of course, they can't tolerate being delicate, and they don't have time to maintain their appearance. Unless he was born as beautiful as Rogge, he could only take advantage of his youth to be amazed, and when he met Ye Dai and Carlo, who had the shelter of an apartment, he was immediately compared.
So when Ding Chen saw the bucket-waisted woman who appeared in front of him, he didn't have any emotional fluctuations, cautiously stepped forward and bent down slightly, and said, "Hello, I'm actually a passerby. ”
After sitting in the tent for a while, the man of the family returned, along with his eldest son.
is different from Ding Chen's conjecture, this family is not Mongolian, of course, they may also have Mongolian ancestry on their ancestors, but since the college entrance examination bonus method began to be subdivided, many ethnic groups that do not give extra points have disappeared quickly, and it cannot be generalized.
They planned to take advantage of the arrival of spring and plan to return to the depths of the grassland with their flocks. Just now, the man took his eldest son to observe and check the terrain from a distance. In the days when there were no satellite positioning devices, finding former pastures on the grasslands required frequent topographic markings.
From their mouths, Ding Chen learned that there was a gathering area not far away, which sounded like the kind of spontaneously formed place, which, according to the man's words, was chaotic and dangerous. (To be continued.) )
