Chapter 31: The Night of Sain Shanda

Looking at the sound, the fat brother and Jiang Li in front of him have woken up, Jiang Li is holding a big bag of potato chips, and the fat brother and the two of you are filling my mouth one by one. Yan Qiu beside me also woke up before me, looking around in a daze. The hand was still naturally wrapped around my arm, and the body was half attached to me.

I turned my head and asked Yanqiu thoughtfully, "Have you slept well?" ā€

Yan Qiu turned her head, not in a hurry to answer, but stared at a pair of big watery eyes, raised her head slightly and met my eyes. From her eyes, I seemed to see a trace of tears flashing, and there was a faint sadness.

I asked emphatically, "How did you sleep?" ā€

Only then did her lips take on the shape of a smile, with not-so-obvious dimples on either side, and she said to me, "Hmm." ā€

It was so touching that I couldn't help but reach out and try to help her fix her hair that was about to touch her shoulders. I think when I first saw her, I was wearing a long wig, and later I saw her in Cao Cao's tomb with a lean short hair, and now this short hair is almost up to the shoulders. The three thousand green silks have witnessed how many experiences we have had along the way, and how many times we have spent from strangeness to dependence.

Before my hands could touch her hair, Xiaoxue shouted through an electronic speaker, "Passengers, welcome to Sain Sanda Resort." ā€

Seeing that everyone was about to get off the bus with their luggage, the four of us also got up slowly, put on our backpacks and got off with the tourists.

Walking to the door of the car, there was a unique Mongolian folk song, a rough voice, dressed in gorgeous Mongolian service, holding a white hada in her hand, standing next to the car door and singing, the song is in Mongolian, I don't understand it, it is probably a welcome song.

After getting off the bus, there is a group of white yurts, large and small yurts are scattered and decorated with colorful small string lights, which feels like a carnival in a fairy tale world.

There are many cars parked in the empty field, including big buses and convoys of self-driving tours, all of whom are Chinese in appearance, and I don't know if there are tourists from North Korea, South Korea, and Japan inside. It can be seen that there are a lot of tourists here, and the business of this resort is quite good.

Our tour group was relatively small, with not many people, and was placed near the edge of the whole yurt group. The tourists walked into their yurts in twos and threes, and then I confirmed who was in the same family and who was in the same group.

The four of us lived with the driver and Xiaoxue, and lived in one of our largest yurts. The driver was very bored, always keeping a stiff face and not speaking, as if someone owed him money. I could see that this man was not very good-tempered and did not get along very well, so after a few polite words were not answered, there was no communication between us.

Jiang Li whispered to me that the big whirlpool she saw was not far away, just due north. I just asked Xiaoxue for the first time where the destination of this trip was.

Xiaoxue's answer to me was that the capital of Mongolia, Ulaanbaatar, was still two days away.

I took out the map again and pointed it to Jiang Li, who nodded, indicating that the distance was about the same, but the direction was a bit westerly.

According to the location of the map, the location Jiang Li said is due north, and Ulaanbaatar is in our northwest, and it seems that when we reach Ulaanbaatar, we still have to go east.

Jiang Lijian yƬ We started from here, got a few horses and went all the way north to find that place, which was unanimously denied by the three of us.

First of all, we are not experts in horseback riding, and it takes two days to drive, and even if we can drive the horses along the way, we will have to die halfway through. What's more, we are not familiar with the road conditions along the way, we don't know where there are mountains, where there are lakes, and the endless Gobi and desert are just rushing in, and there is not much hope of coming out. Plus we still have to be responsible for Xiaoxue, so we just disappeared, where do we meet? How to return to China? It was not planned, and Xiaoxue would have to take on a big responsibility when the time came. So we decided to arrive at our destination with the tour group's car, be closer to that place, and plan our next step.

After a while, like several other yurts, two fires were lit, one was coal and firewood, and kerosene was poured on it, and the flames rose to the sky. The other fire was smaller, and a seemingly professional Mongolian uncle, armed with a long scimitar, stood in front of an iron shelf.

After a while, two young men carried a whole sheep that had been dressed and put it on the iron shelf, and the uncle began to roast it in earnest.

The sheep was like a piece of skin, flattened by a thick iron rod and countless small iron rods, and judging by the color of the mutton, it must have been processed, and it was already half-cooked, and I guess it was scalded with boiling water.

There was a rocking bend at one end of the thick iron stick, and the Mongolian uncle grabbed it for a while, and at the same time used the scimitar in his hand to make many staggered cuts on the sheep's body. He also grabbed the seasoning powder from the small basket hanging on his waist one by one, and wiped it directly on the sheep with his hands.

This must have a certain foundation, not to mention anything else, just the oily roasted whole sheep, the temperature alone is not low, directly touch it with your hands, replace it with someone else, it is estimated that it will be hot. Coupled with the iron rod that has been baking on the fire, holding it in his hand and turning it all the time, it is really something that ordinary people can't do.

Xiaoxue led everyone to form a large circle outside the relatively prosperous bonfire, and everyone held hands and danced under the leadership of the Mongolian singer.

As far as dancing is concerned, I am very ungood at it, I can only follow the direction of the team's movement, bumping and trotting. The fat guy in front of me imitated other people's dancing postures in a similar way, and taught me how to dance very seriously. Pulling behind was Yan Qiu, who was also clumsy and trotting like me, but it was very pleasant to see.

The bonfire made everyone's faces flush, and everyone unconsciously showed joy. If we are here for tourism, we can say that from here we already feel that the trip is worthwhile. It deepens the emotional communication between people and deepens the friendship between friends. This moment will be a heavy stroke in my memory, and the innocent childlike smiles of Fat Brother and Yan Qiu will always be remembered by me.

After jumping for a while, I was out of breath, and then I felt that I hadn't seen Jiang Li's figure for a long time.

I left the team to find Jiang Li, and Yan Qiu also walked out of the team with me. The fat brother continued to hold the hands of the people behind him, still jumping happily.

After scanning his eyes for a long time, he saw the back of Jiang Li's head exposed in a small mound on the edge of a yurt. Yan Qiu and I ran up to the small mound in a few steps from the direction behind Jiang Li. Jiang Li was sitting on the other side, so he could only see the back of his head. The two of us ran up to the mound, slid down and sat next to Jiang Li.

I asked Jiang Li happily, "Why don't you go over and jump?" It's fun. ā€

Jiang Li continued to look at the darkness ahead as if he hadn't heard. I knew she was looking at that place, and as we approached, Jiang Li's heart became heavier and heavier. Until now, I still can't feel how strict the problem is from Jiang Li's words, but judging from her appearance, our trip will definitely not be easy.

Jiang Li didn't speak, and I didn't ask again, just sat next to her with my hands and knees. Jiang Li simply rested his head on my arm. Yan Qiu also sat down on the other side of me. And just like that, the three of them sat there and no one spoke.

Yan Qiu and I couldn't see what was happening in Jiang Li's eyes, we just looked up at the low sky, and there were countless stars twinkling in the sky, as if we could touch it with our hand. This kind of scenery is rare in the night sky of the city.

I looked up at the Big Dipper in the constellation, the seven stars were exceptionally bright, but the light brought me a chill. It may have been warm by the campfire, and the temperature here is so low at night that I can't help but shiver.

Yan Qiu also seemed to feel the cold, and moved to sit in front of me, I was still not so puzzled, and understood what Yan Qiu meant. Spread her legs apart and let her sit in my arms, and then put my arms around her. The three of us snuggled together, and a warm current from our hearts instantly dispelled the cold around us.

I want to think that time stands still at this moment, put aside all those fates, and snuggle up to each other forever with my dearest partners, driving away all the unhappiness and coldness of the world. But I secretly felt that Yan Qiu was getting farther and farther away from me, but I was powerless to hold her. The more I thought about it, the tighter I hugged it, like a child who was afraid that my beloved candy would be snatched away, and slowly my body began to tremble, and a few crystal tears fell on Yanqiu's hair.

Yan Qiu turned her head, looked at me with pity, and stretched out her hand to help me wipe the tears from my face.

I instantly felt the urge to kiss her, but I was afraid that I was wishful thinking.

As I was wandering, I saw a woman standing in the darkness in the distance, faintly visible from her back reflected by the distant firelight, dressed in black sportswear, she was standing up straight, facing the direction Jiang Li was looking, and she was motionless there.
