454 Fishing and daughter-in-law
"You, you marry a daughter-in-law?" Iszawi was a little surprised.
"My brother...... Be young, cook, do laundry, have children! Hong Tao shook his head, crossed his fingers and continued to repeat the condition.
"Cheng Cheng Cheng, I know...... Young is precious, it takes about ...... Five horses, young horses, not old horses! Iszawi held down Hong Tao's big hand, not wanting to listen to those anymore, but there was a glimmer of light in his eyes, and then he stretched out five fingers.
"Five horses !!" When Hong Tao heard this price, his mouth immediately turned into a shower, and he sprayed Iszawi in the face.
"Oops...... It's five horses, young, no more than 30 years old, in good health! Iszawi was disgusted, but he wiped it with his sleeve and took two steps back before he dared to continue bargaining.
"No...... Don't ...... "Five Macrims must be able to afford it, but Hong Tao is not happy. It's just five horses, which is too expensive.
“…… Four horses, a minimum of four horses. Don't you open your eyes and see, can you find a young woman here? To tell you the truth, if you want to find a young woman, you have to buy a white nun from the base, do you think it can be cheap! ”
Seeing Hong Tao so resolute, Iszawi felt that the price might be higher, so he automatically lowered another horse, and then began to describe to Hong Tao how difficult the purchase channel was.
"Under 10 years old, mare, 3 horses, trained!" Hong Tao doesn't care about that, even if you pull Chang'e down from the moon, there is only so much.
"Can you make it when you're older? Early 30s! Iszawi felt that the price really could not be taken, and planned to loosen the conditions a little.
"Cooking, laundry, herding sheep, giving birth!" Hong Tao thought about it, Kerim is in his 40s, and it is a bit of a waste to marry someone in his 20s, so you don't want to be young.
But the last few must be in place, don't find me a delicate and weak city girl, I won't do anything in the ravine, and I'll be sick and crooked all day long, and I'll die of illness in less than two months.
"Hey, don't worry, I promise to meet your conditions, and your body must be strong, otherwise I won't be able to bear the toss of your brothers, hehehehe......" If you want to say that Iszawe can also think about it, he thought that Hong Tao would marry his brother's daughter-in-law, and then the two of them used it together, and laughed so much that it was called a lewdness.
"When will you see you?" In the face of such a bad thing, Hong Tao didn't bother to explain, what do you think, you can see people first.
“…… Belch...... You're not going to catch fish with Sister Juma, you won't be able to go for the next two days. How about I bring people when you come back? Iszawi pinched his fingers and didn't know what it was, so he gave a specific date for half a day.
"Nuns can't fish...... The road is not easy to walk......" Only then did Hong Tao remember that the problem of Kerim was solved, but he was in big trouble.
Where to go fishing, you must not take the nun to Lake Selim. The question is, is there really a lake to the south? Are there really fish in the lake? If you don't find or don't have any fish, you have to show your stuffing on the spot.
"I have to go if it's okay, I didn't hear Sister Juma say that it was the bishop who wants to eat!" Iszawi didn't seem to be at ease with two grenades in his arms, and he was not in the mood to talk to Hong Tao at all, so he threw down a sentence and turned his head and slipped into the door behind the counter.
"Good people can drive you to death...... Damn it! The owner of the shop was gone, so Hong Tao had to come out and sit on Zhang Pinggui's tea stall, scolding in his heart while nibbling on biscuits.
He had already thought about it, and after a while, when the nun came, he said that the road was not easy to walk, and he could only go alone. If she had to follow, then don't blame herself for being ruthless. As long as there are not too many people, they will die together in the mountains, and then they will not come here in the future. If you want to go to southern Xinjiang, you can go around from the east, and a thousand kilometers of road is a fart!
I don't know if the nun eats the same as the army, but less than an hour after the meeting and the breakup, Sister Jumabayi returned, followed by two ascetics dressed in white, and Hong Tao's two horses, a total of five.
"Is it so hard to get to the south of the mountain?" After listening to Hong Tao's description of the difficulty of walking and the difficulty of ascending to the blue sky, Juma Bayi was not too arbitrary, and turned his head to ask the ascetic's opinion.
"After the earthquake, the original road collapsed, and in some places you really had to walk on mountain roads. If you go to the mountains south of the Turks, there should be no way at all, only the shepherds can find it. The two white-clothed ascetics obviously didn't want to go, so they endorsed Hong Tao from the side.
"Can you come back the day after tomorrow when you go alone?" Jumabayi probably didn't want to go either, but she seemed very worried about the bishop's banquet.
"It's tight...... Overnight rush! Hong Tao nodded, his tone very heavy.
"You go on these two horses, faster." Hearing Hong Tao's assurance, Jumabayi nodded slightly, and waved his hand to let the two white-clothed ascetics pull their horses over.
"No, they can't walk on mountain roads...... Run flat ground, they're fast! "Exchanging good horses for old horses should be earned, if he hadn't lived with Crimea for so long, Hong Tao would definitely have fun. But now not only do I not feel that I have made money, but I have to refuse politely.
As the saying goes, old horses know their way, and well-trained horses have a strong ability to recognize their way, and it is difficult to say whether they will remember it when they ride these two horses back to Sailim Lake. Even if you don't remember all of it, as long as you can remember half of it, your nest is basically exposed.
"Here's what I'm going to take with me on the road, along with a fishing rod and a hook. Come back at noon the day after tomorrow, the more fish the better, and there will be a reward for you at that time! Jumabayi turned and walked over to the tall white horse, untied his saddlebag and handed it to Hong Tao, promising more benefits.
Looking at the nun's back, Hong Tao felt that her figure must be good. Don't look at the whole body is shrouded in a wide cloak, you can't see it when you walk slowly with small steps, but once you take a big stride and walk in a hurry, part of the body outline will still show some of it.
"The bishop loves fish?" But there is a question that I don't understand very well, is the bishop of the redeemer so greedy, he can die if he doesn't eat a mouthful of fish, look at the toss of his subordinates.
"It's not the bishop who wants to eat, it's the guest who is coming, the mainland. Since yesterday, the base has been cleaned up, and many people have been sent to dig wild flowers on the hillside and come back to plant them. "Zhang Pinggui sits on the street all day long, more than a sentry, and there is a change of guard, but he doesn't, it's a day at first sight.
"Entertain guests, good!" This answer made some sense, Hong Tao nodded seriously, just like how hospitable he was, took the horse and turned to leave. But what I was thinking about was something else, would the two grenades have any connection with the upcoming guests?
As the saying goes, a friend of an enemy is an enemy, and the guest who can make the redeemer value so much must not be a friend of the rebels. If these guests had an accident outside the main base gate, the Redeemer wouldn't seem to be able to tell how many mouths he had.
After three days, will Hong Tao be able to find the so-called big lake and catch a fish and come back? He didn't even know where the lake in the south was, he hadn't walked more than half of the way along the way, and it was a question of whether he could walk over the mountains and mountains in three days.
Moreover, some lakes in Xinjiang Province are saltwater, which looks quite large, deep and clear, but in fact there are neither fish nor shrimp in them, at most there are some plankton and water birds that are tolerant to salinity.
He didn't plan to go fishing to the south at all, but to return to Lake Selim. There are ready-made simple cages, and the fish I usually catch can't be eaten, and I can't dry so many dried fish, so I keep them in small cages.
In three days, it took less than 200 kilometers to take a shortcut round trip, and most of it was a mountain road. Two months ago, I certainly didn't make it, but now it should be about the same.
In the past two months, in addition to following the mountain road pointed out by Kerim, I have also taken the initiative to explore several times, and successfully found a road that can directly lead to the small coal mine in the northwest of Yining.
There is no need to go through Huocheng at all from this road, and the one-way distance can be shortened by nearly 30 kilometers. Originally, it was reserved for a rainy day, but now that the rain is almost coming, you can use it first.
In fact, even if there is no fishing, I have to hurry back to it. Iszawi said that he could find the white nun from the base, and that Krimu would not care about the identity of his daughter-in-law, but he would have to exchange three horses, and a young and trained mare to ride. I definitely have nowhere to find it, so I can only go back and discuss with Crimea, whether it is worth it or not, and I have to let him make up his mind.
