However, Hong Tao couldn't immediately explore whether this ancient road could be passed, and he had to send the Yining base the last mutton before the winter came. It's already mid-September, and according to the annual custom in Crimea, they leave Lake Selim for the winter pastures at the latest in early October.

"Damn, this is the discovery of an ancient tomb!" When Hong Tao crossed the mountains and returned to the vicinity of Sailim Lake, he habitually stood at the edge of the woods and first used a telescope to inspect around, and soon found an obvious abnormality.

On the west and north shores of the lake, there are many small mounds of dirt, like termite mounds on the African savannah. Hong Tao is sure that it was not the termites who did it, and no matter how hard they worked, they could not build so many mansions in a little more than a month.

It is even more unlikely that someone else came here to dig and play, and the only suspect is Crimea. But when Hong Tao walked to the lake, he immediately realized that he had seen it wrong, and it was not a dirt bag but a haystack. Nearby, a woman in a white dress, a red vest, and an embroidered Little Red Riding Hood was working with a straw fork.

"Hey, brother and sister, what's the use of making so much grass?" Don't ask, this is the daughter-in-law I bought back for Kerim, and calling my younger brothers and sisters is definitely not a advantage.

"......" But the woman seemed to feel that she had suffered a loss, and turned her head to see Hong Tao riding on a horse, and did not hesitate to throw down the pitchfork and run.

"This guy...... Iszawi is not talking nonsense! Looking at the neatness of the woman wearing a skirt and getting on the horse, Hong Tao somewhat recognized the price of the three horses.

It didn't matter what he looked like, he needed not only a wife who could have children, but also a partner who could help with work and talk to him. A woman like this is very suitable, she can ride a horse and can work, and her life in Crimea will be much more comfortable in the future.

"Hey, Avanti, where did you go this time, is there any good wine?" Before Hong Tao could pack up his things, Rim rode over. He had long been accustomed to the erratic whereabouts of this neighbor, and at the same time, he was also accustomed to rubbing his neighbor's high liquor drinking.

"Pear City...... This is your wedding gift, why did she run away when she saw me! Hong Tao took out a few small boxes from his backpack and put them on the table, a set of gold jewelry inlaid with precious stones, which he found from the store in Licheng.

Although gold and silver jewelry was not as valuable as a biscuit in this era, Kirghiz women were very fond of wearing shiny things, and it was a good gift to take back when they saw a good one.

"Saren says you're dangerous!" Klim opened the box and looked at them one by one.

“…… She hadn't seen me before, so how could she know I was dangerous? This answer made Hong Tao stop what he was doing, raised his head to look at Kerimu, but his right hand quietly touched his thigh.

"Saren is smart...... Thanks to you, my brother! Krimu didn't feel anything out of the ordinary, still looking at the sun and pondering the ruby on the necklace's pendant.

"Hasn't she left all these days?" Sometimes Hong Tao also feels that he is too sensitive, but he does not feel that this is a shortcoming. Compared with a small life, it is really nothing to spend a few more words and use your brain.

"Don't worry, I'm also smart and have tried several times secretly. Pretending to say that she was going to leave for a day to go out to find something, she was left at home. I didn't actually go far, just sat in the woods on the hillside for most of the day. She's not a bad person and loves living here. She has a lot of scars on her body, she has been beaten, those people are very bad, she doesn't like them! "After getting along for so many years, Kerim is more accustomed to Hong Tao's more cunning personality than the snow leopard, and he is a little close to the ink black.

Usually when he is home alone, he always leaves the shepherd dog on the east bank near the road, and if a stranger appears, the clever shepherd dog will run back to report the news. Suddenly, a strange woman came, even if it was his daughter-in-law, and she didn't let her guard down.

"Alas, except that I'm a bad person......" Hong Tao was relieved when he said this, and at the same time he didn't forget to take the opportunity to flaunt himself.

"Come to your place for a drink at night, Saren will make good finger meat!" Over the years, Crimea must have listened to such nonsense, filtered directly, got on the horse and ran away.

"If you have a daughter-in-law and forget your friends, you're not a good thing!" Looking at the cheerful back of the Krimu, Hong Tao scolded loudly.

In the past, whenever he came back, the lonely shepherd would lie down in front of the hut, drink wine with dried fish, and talk about everything. It's good now, but I'm in a hurry to go back before my ass is hot.

Krimujin didn't brag, and Saren did cook a good meal, not only lamb, but also fish. The fish she makes is grilled with stones and is better than grilling it directly on an iron shelf.

However, this woman seems to have a deep misunderstanding of herself, and she has been very nervous and rarely speaks during the banquet, and she doesn't even dare to raise her eyelids. After eating, I got on the horse and ran with the utensils, and I didn't want to stay for an extra minute.

Hong Tao didn't care about her deliberate estrangement, and whoever was bought back by himself wouldn't be able to adapt immediately. And she has been in the Redeemer base for so long, she has seen more than Krimu, and she is not so easy to coax, she must be doubting her identity.

"What are you doing with so much forage, are there a lot of sheep this year?" Instead, the haystacks by the lake need to be asked, and it is said that a lot of mutton has been sold to the redeemers this year, and the flock of sheep in the Crimean should not be so large that it is necessary to prepare additional grass to bring to the winter pastures.

"We're going to spend the winter here, and it's too far to climb the mountain, and she can't adapt to it."

"......" Kerim's answer really made Hong Tao a little speechless, good guy, what about the most important thing about a good flock? How can a daughter-in-law become less important to friends and sheep!

"You can sell more sheep to the base, and then help me get the sheepfold on top. As long as you don't get buried in the snow, you can survive until spring with enough forage! "Krimu didn't think there was anything inappropriate, and licked his face to give Hong Tao a job.

“…… I want to go to southern Xinjiang in winter, do you know that there is a road near the Schatt River that leads to southern Xinjiang? ”

Hong Tao thought about it, no, he couldn't stay here for a long time, otherwise he would be called by the two of them as long-term workers. Now it's a sheepfold, and you'll have to build a horse pen in the future, and when it snows heavily, you still have to shovel snow!

It's not that I'm too chicken thief to help with the work, it's that I can't develop this habit. If you make it inevitable to help, if you don't help in the future, it will lead to dissatisfaction.

It's really not that the Crimean character is bad, and it's not that Saren blows the wind on the pillow to sow discord. This thing is human nature, everyone is the same, if you want to avoid it, you can only refuse it from the beginning, and if you can't refuse, you can avoid it.

“…… Even snow leopards don't walk the Schattall Valley in winter! The cliff over there collapsed, and the only bridge that could cross the river was washed away by the torrent. The glacier is very deep and urgent when it does not freeze in winter, and if you fall down, you will freeze to death! ”

Hearing Hong Tao's plan, Kerim didn't even drink alcohol, and tried to search for Chinese words in his mind, trying to express the hardships of the mountain road 100%, and dispel the idea of his neighbor going crazy to death.

"So you've walked by!" What do you call hitting the south wall and not looking back, Hong Tao is this kind of person.

The more you talk about the difficulties, the more interested he becomes, and he doesn't bother to do anything that anyone can do. Of course, all this is based on the premise of being well-informed and well-prepared, and he likes to take risks but does not like to die.

"The winter pasture is right there, at the foot of the mountain! Here we are...... Winter pastures here, here, or here...... The Schatthorn is here! ”

Kerim felt that it was necessary to popularize the geographical knowledge at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains to this Han people, and he dared to walk the Chartres Valley without knowing anything, or in winter, which was a lively taste!

"Wait...... Draw on this! Hong Tao really didn't inquire carefully about where the winter pasture of Kerim was, but only knew that it was at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains. But it's not too late to make up for the lesson, and you can see it by marking it on the map a few times.

"I've only been here since the earthquake, the bridge to the south is gone, the cliff has collapsed, and the river is in a hurry!"

Instead, Krimu used a map to mark not only the three winter pastures he frequented, but also the place where the bridge over the Schatthorn River was only about 30 kilometers away. But the earthquake not only destroyed the bridge, but also caused a landslide that cut off the way up the mountainside.
