Amur let me out of the room. I could see his expression, and I deliberately smiled and asked him if he was afraid of Batu. He didn't deny it, but nodded at me, saying that his cousin had a very eccentric temper and didn't like people to come into their house.

Amur also said that he grew up with his cousin, although Batu was not a few years older than him. But he was very strict, just like his father. This is the same as the eldest brother like a father in many places, and Amur told me that once Batu brought outsiders into the house, and Batu knew about it, and Batu almost killed him.

I was slightly stunned, but Amur told me not to think that he was exaggerating, and that Batu was crazy, which was very terrible, and no one could stop him. This situation did not improve until Amur reached middle age, but Amur's reverence for Batu has been produced since childhood and has always lingered.

Amur, with sweat on his forehead, said he was just very worried that Batu would get angry. There was a reason why Amur fled with me in such a panic. I smiled and said, "Then you're bringing me back?" ”

Amur waved his hand: "My cousin said that it would be a few days before he came back, and he went far away, who knew that he would come back after only two days." "Amur said that he and I don't know each other, and the people in Gacha, except for Batu, are very hospitable, which is known to the locals.

Out of politeness, Amur invited me home for the night, which was a matter of affection. I asked Amur if he needed me to find another place to live, and Amur shook his head and said that Batu's character was like this, and he agreed without objection at first. At this time, if I leave, it will make Batu feel that I look down on him.

I didn't say anything more, and when I got out of the house, I saw a lot of bulging yurts. The people dressed in this Gacha local costume are busy, and in the distance, there is a relatively small pastoral area with cattle and sheep. Amur asked me if I could ride a horse, and I nodded and said yes.

Amur had just asked casually, but my answer made him slightly stunned. He asked me if I was from a similar place to Gacha, and I shook my head, but I didn't say anything about it. Amur looked me up and down and said that there were very few people who could ride horses now, and Amur told me that I looked like I was from a big city, and I didn't look like I could ride horses, and told me not to brag.

I smiled, "Just try it and you'll know." ”

Amur nodded and led me towards the pastoral area. Amur always greets people along the way. They all smiled and nodded at us. I have to say that this Gachali person is really welcoming, and many people have come to say hello to me when they see new faces. I couldn't understand what they were saying, and when Amur translated for me, I realized that they were wishing me a good day.

On the way, though, I noticed something strange. I saw a woman in local dress standing behind a yurt, looking at me strangely. This woman is very beautiful, but the expression on her face is a little dignified.

I remained silent, and after walking a long way, I asked who Amurna was. Amur looked back and told me that this person was a local beauty, but she was not a local in the first place. Amur said that this woman, called Sobud, I listened to it for a headache.

In a short period of time, I came across several names that seemed strange to me, and for a while, I might not remember them. Amur smiled and said that this was normal. He said don't feel strange about their names. It is also said that these names have special meanings.

He began by saying his own name, Amur, which means Taiping in the local language. And his wife, the dark cloud, means wisdom, and Batu means firmness. I can remember some of what Amur said. Amur continued: "Sobud, it means pearl. She came to Gachali a few years ago and has settled here since. There are two eccentrics in Gachali, one is my cousin Batu, and the other is this Sobud. ”

My interest came, and I asked him what was wrong with these two people. Amur hesitated for a moment and whispered to me. The reason why Sobud is strange is that after she came to Gacha, she often went out hunting alone, and in the local area, women can hunt and ride horses, which is nothing new, but there are not many women who dare to go out hunting alone. Moreover, this Sobud often went out for days.

Wait until everyone thinks something has happened to Sobud. She would come back unharmed again, and soon with some prey. After all, there is a difference between men and women in terms of physique, but Sobud is no worse than men. It's also strange that Sobud doesn't like to talk.

As for Batu. Amur said that he was strange, and he had already told me some of the strange things, and the other strange things were that outsiders had never seen Batu laugh at all. Even Amur had only seen Batu's smiling face a few times. I asked Amur when Batu would laugh, and Amur immediately kept silent, as if there was something taboo.

Before we knew it, we had arrived at the pastoral area, where Amur said that the horses and sheep were usually housed. Amur chose a horse for me, and then crossed his hands. As if to see me make a fool of myself, he still didn't believe that I could ride a horse. I smiled and got on the horse, and before Amur could react, I rode and ran a long way.

After stopping, I beckoned to Amur to catch up. Only then did Amur react, and he also rode a horse and caught up. The two of us rode horses, galloping on the grassland, looking at the green grassland, and my heartstrings, which had been tense for a long time, finally relaxed.

After running for a while, we slowed down, and Amur laughed and asked me what I was doing, that I could ride a horse.

I just shook my head: "I can do anything." ”

Amur: "When and where." ”

I didn't answer, and Amur didn't ask any more. Just muttering to myself that I'm so weird and that I always feel like I'm mysterious. Amur led the way, and we had been running for a long time, but the mountains in the distance still didn't seem to get any closer to us. Amur looked around, and he told me that he had to look for it, because he had been there at a very young age.

The sun in the sky was even hotter, and my whole body was sweating. I'm too tired to do it. Amur and I dismounted to rest, and we lay down on the grass and poured water into our mouths in large gulps. Amur said it was too strange, because he never thought the place would be so hard to find.

When we looked up, we saw only one eagle flying in the sky. Amur pointed to the flying bird and said that when it was hovering, it was looking for prey. Amur told me not to be afraid, saying that there is only one eagle, and generally it does not take the initiative to attack people.

Amur said, turned his head, and found that I didn't have the slightest expression of fear, so he teased: "Brother Hanfang, how do I feel that you are more like a native of Yuan Province than me." ”

Seeing that I didn't answer, Amur had no choice but to continue: "The eagle in the steppe is not so fierce. He sat up and pointed to the mountain in the distance: "The eagles perched on that mountain are terrifying, they are all in the same place, and I don't know how there is such a big difference." ”

Having rested enough, Amur and I got on horseback again. I don't know if it was after the rest that Amur's mind became clearer, but this time, he quickly found his way, and we ran a long way all the way, and finally ran out of the steppe, and with it, the lush trees came into view.

We also faintly heard the sound of the stream, and Amur told me with great certainty that the tombstone was near here.

After leashing the horses, we walked on foot in the woods. Amur told me to be careful, saying that it was already summer, and all snakes, insects, birds and beasts could be infested. Amur's voice grew smaller and quieter in my ears, and I could only hear my own breathing.

When I stepped into this wood, that inexplicable sense of familiarity rose from the bottom of my heart again. I'm also sure that this place, I came to when I was very young.

We found the stream, and in the distance, there was a tombstone, just across the stream. machine
