Inside the yurt.

Li Yan, who was already asleep, was awakened by the sudden sound of a wolf's howl, and the surroundings were pitch black, and the cold wind outside the yurt could be clearly heard.

Huhuhu~

The wind on the grassland at night was really strong, and the yurts were trembling slightly.

Listening to the wolf howl outside, Li Yan felt a fear slowly climb up her head from the soles of her feet, and hurriedly pushed Wang Yuan next to her:

"Xiaoyuan, Xiaoyuan, there are wolves outside."

Sister-in-law Li Ping was also scared awake, she slept on the other side of Li Yan and hurriedly reached out to hug the latter, and clinged to Li Yan's side tightly.

"Don't be afraid to have me here, the wolves are far away." Wang Yuan tried his best to appease Li Yan, he had a gun in his hand, and with a gun next to him, his self-confidence skyrocketed a lot.

As soon as he stretched out his hand and wanted to hold Li Yan in his arms, he felt something wrong when he stretched out his hand, he touched something, it seemed to be Li Ping? After all, it is impossible for his wife to grow three mountains?

In an instant, the three of them froze, and Li Yan hurriedly pushed Wang Yuan's arm away and said angrily: "What kind of hand to stretch out, go to sleep honestly, and then stretch out your hand and I'll kick you."

"Ahem."

Wang Yuan didn't dare to speak, and retracted his hand to sleep well.

Li Ping's face was as red as a monkey's buttocks, and she wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into, but now she didn't dare to move and hold Li Yan's arm and quickly pretend to sleep.

Only the little girl on the other side of Li Ping slept very deadly, holding the big white cat in the bed and not caring about the wolves outside.

The night passed peacefully.

The next morning, when having breakfast in the brilliant morning sun, Xiao Suhe also talked to Wang Yuan about the wolves last night.

"There are a lot of wolves on the grassland this season, and it's normal to hear wolf howls in the middle of the night, but you weren't scared in the dark yesterday, right?"

"It's okay, how far are yesterday's wolves from us?"

"It's far, far away, and the sound of the prairie can be heard far away."

Lao Suhe smoked a big cigarette pouch and neatly cut off the roasted rabbit meat for Wang Yuan and a few people to eat, and the years left wrinkles on his face, full of vicissitudes.

Lao Suhe not only gave the rabbit meat to Wang Yuan and a few people to eat, but also cut a 5-centimeter-long rabbit meat and handed it to the big white cat.

"Meow~"

The big white cat was lying next to the little girl with its paws, and when she saw the rabbit meat handed over, her eyes immediately lit up, and she jumped up and ate it beautifully with the rabbit meat directly in her mouth.

On this trip, Wang Yuan also brought a lot of things to Lao Suhe and them, in addition to ironware, there were many other daily necessities, food and so on.

After eating, they gave all the things they brought to Xiao Suhe's family, and Wang Yuan and the others followed Xiao Suhe to herd the sheep.

Everyone rode horses, the dogs were responsible for driving the sheep, and thousands of sheep were driven to the designated pastures to the west to start grazing.

Like a bulldozer, the delicate blades of grass are almost all eaten up by the sheep.

Kakaka~ The sheep's mouth was torn and the tender and delicious blades of grass were eaten in the mouth, and they were swallowed into the stomach almost without chewing, and continued to eat other blades of grass.

At the begging of the little girl, Wang Yuan took her off the horse, and the little girl ran with the sheep, watching the sheep graze, she felt very interesting, and slowly she felt a little hungry.

"Hey, little girl, why are you still eating grass?"

"Ah, I'll taste if it's delicious, bah bah ~ it's not delicious at all."

Wang Yuan's face was black, and Xiao Suhe, who was not far from the right, laughed: "Xiaoyuan, your sister is so interesting."

The sheep can eat grass on the pasture, you don't need to care about them all the time, Wang Yuan took out the camera to take pictures of Li Yan and Li Ping, and took a photo with the sheep, blue sky and white clouds, and it was really enjoyable to be in the endless prairie.

"Come, hold that little lamb, yes, yes~ squat on the ground and put your arms around its neck."

"The horns of the little lamb have not yet grown."

"It's small, and when it grows up, it grows horns."

After taking photos of Li Yan, Li Ping, and the little girl, Wang Yuan put the camera again

handed it to Xiao Suhe, taught him how to take pictures, and then asked him to take a group photo of Wang Yuan and a few others.

"It's amazing~ just press it like this?"

"yes, go back and wash it out, and it's a picture."

Xiao Suhe was amazed, and his big rough hands carefully stroked the camera, feeling that such a powerful thing must be very expensive.

The savannah has amazing natural scenery, but the downside is that the technology is too backward, and there is not even a black and white TV.

Wang Yuan took a few more photos of Xiao Suhe and the sheep, promised to go back and wash out the photos, and sent them to him, Xiao Suhe grinned very happily and gave Wang Yuan a big hug directly.

Unlike later generations, which had mobile phones and could take a large number of photos casually, every photo in this era is very precious.

It is even necessary to make a large photo frame nearly one meter long, put a photo neatly in it, and then solemnly inlay it with glass to preserve.

Hanging a large photo frame in the house can be kept for many years, and after a few decades, the teeth are gone, and looking at the old photos can still recall the scene at that time, which is also very warm and interesting.

Wang Yuan's own courtyard also has this kind of large photo frame.

"Wang~"

The dog herding the sheep suddenly shouted, it turned out that there was a stream of hundreds of sheep going away, Xiao Suhe hurriedly got on the horse to chase after him, and drove the sheep back soon after.

The sheep don't always have to be in charge, but they can't be ignored, Wang Yuan still remembers that when he was a child, he herded sheep in the brigade, but he lost the sheep when he caught the toad, and he was sweating profusely when he was in a hurry.

Finally, they found a flock of sheep in the rice field in the distance, and that time they were really disabled.

There is a river in the west, Wang Yuan and a few people came to the river to play, the river is not deep, not only reflecting the blue sky and white clouds, but also reflecting the grass by the river.

Winter~

A large toad was disturbed, and jumped directly into the river with a kick of its legs, and in an instant the ripples rippled in circles.

"Toad, toad!"

The little girl was like a tomboy, looking at the toad in the water very happy, stretching out her hand as if she was about to catch it, but she was afraid of the water, so she could only anxiously stomp her feet on the shore.

Li Yan hated toads the most, and when she looked at the toad's slippery skin, she felt panicked, so she frowned.

"Don't make a fuss, how greasy and crooked the toad is......

Before Wang Yuan's words were finished, a sudden change occurred, the river was surging, and a big fish more than one meter long suddenly came out of the bottom of the river, and the brown body had a white pan on it, and swallowed the toad in one bite.

The big fish glanced at Wang Yuan and the others, flicked his tail and made a splash, burrowed into the river and disappeared.

The little girl's eyes widened in shock: "Toad...... Eaten by fish."

"What's going on?"

Xiao Suhe strode over, he had just gone to drive the sheep again, and he was a little panting when he was tired from riding a horse.

Wang Yuan described to him what had just happened, including the appearance of the fish, and Xiao Suhe immediately smiled:

"It must be a big pike, with a mouth as flat as a duck's beak, right? This kind of fish is so old that it is not uncommon to eat toads at all, and it also eats wild ducks! When I was a kid, I saw dogfish eating wild ducks."

"Fish eat wild ducks?"

"Yes, the largest pike can grow to more than two meters long, and it is the size of a thief."

They didn't bring fishing rods with them, so they ended up finding a shallow beach to fish in the river.

In later generations, many wild rivers are very dangerous for excavators to dig straight up and down, just the river water has not reached the calf, and then a step into it may directly go over the head.

The wild river in this era is much better, and it slowly deepens from the edge to the middle, so you can have a mental preparation.

Wang Yuan took off his shoes, rolled up his trouser legs and went down to the river, and soon touched a "willow root fish".

Green back and white belly, big belly and small head.

The 20-centimeter-long willow root fish was thrown ashore by Wang Yuan, and the little girl happily ran to pick up the fish.

"So big! Oh, it jumped."

"Don't let it jump back into the river

Go back and cook grilled fish to eat."

"Didn't you feed the cats?"

Li Yan and Li Ping didn't go into the water, watching Wang Yuan touch the fish on the shore, Xiao Suhe was smoking on the shore with a whip, and he was going to catch a sheep after a while, so he didn't go down to the river.

Oil is needed to make fish, and there is a shortage of oil in the grasslands.

People on the grassland rarely catch fish to eat, coupled with the sparsely populated grassland, the fish in the river are fried like nests to breed, so there are many fish in the river.

There are not only willow root fish, but also fine linfish, gaya fish, black crucian carp, wheat spike, Dahu slippery, big fat head and mountain slimy fish, etc.

The most caught is still willow root fish, and there are more than 20 of them that can be stewed in a pot.

Stewing a pot of wild fish, and drinking it with a little wine, Wang Yuan's saliva was about to flow out.

Li Yan and Li Ping couldn't resist the temptation, and finally took off their shoes and pulled up their trouser legs, and also went down to the river, but they were so stupid that they couldn't catch the fish when they hit them.

"You have to move slowly in the water, and when you encounter a fish, you have to catch it quickly, oops~ It's not slow when it's slow, it's not fast when it's fast, you two are stupid."

"Who is stupid?"

Li Yan bit her plump lip and glared at him, and Wang Yuan instantly shut up.

Near noon, the weather was hot, the calves were soaked in the water but it was very cool, and the blue sky and white clouds were reflected in the water, which made people a little confused for a while which was the sky and which was the water.

"It's beautiful, and it's nice to live here." Li Yan sighed.

"It's good to live anywhere you have money, but it's not good to live on the grassland if you don't have money." Wang Yuan smiled and shook his head, life on the grassland has both a good side and a bad side.

Every day, I herd sheep, shovel sheep dung, feed forage, and I don't see people for ten miles or eight miles, and there are no entertainment activities...... Over time, many people will become very irritable.

Wang Yuan himself hates sheep herding very much, which is related to his experience when he was a child, he feels that sheep herding is really uncomfortable, and he would rather go to prison than herd sheep.

Because the sheep eats grass, staring at it all the time feels very boring, very boring, and it feels like the whole person has become a machine.

But if you don't stare at ...... In an era when an inattentive sheep may run away, and a bowl may be beaten, dare to lose a sheep? It is really possible to be beaten half to death.

And if the sheep gnawed other people's crops, and others scolded the family they were looking for on the street, their parents could only laugh and apologize to others.

Mom and Dad are not having a good time, and the child is even more inevitably beaten.

At noon, a few people didn't go back, Xiao Suhe brought some food, Wang Yuan grilled some fish, and had a picnic directly on the grassland.

When you're hungry, everything you eat is delicious.

Wang Yuan and the others were hungry, and the lunch was very fragrant.

Xiao Suhe disliked that there were too many thorns in the fish, so he stopped eating after a few bites, and ate the food he brought himself.

The little girl squatted on Wang Yuan's left, teasing a little lamb who came over while eating fish, but the little lamb took a few steps back, ran over to her with her head lowered, and the little girl sat directly on the grass.

"Okay, you're going to me!?"

The little girl began to bow her head and push each other with the little lamb to see who had beaten whom.

Wang Yuan and the others laughed instantly, and the atmosphere was extremely joyful for a while.

In the afternoon, the sheep were grazed for a while, and at about 3 o'clock in the afternoon the group went back.

Walking on the grassland on horseback, I instantly felt a sense of relaxation.

When he returned to the camp, old Suhe was repairing the sheepfold with an axe, and the wood on one of the fences was broken by the sheep, and the sheep might escape if they were not repaired.

Winter, winter, winter~

Finding a piece of wood to nail to the fence again, Lao Suhe turned his head and smiled, "Xiaoyuan, you still caught so many fish."

Wu Rina was drying her clothes not far away, and when she saw the fish that Wang Yuan brought back, her eyes straightened for a while, and then she laughed helplessly.

They are not used to eating fish.

In the future the wild river fish is a good thing, even if you are willing to pay a high price,

You may not be able to buy real wild river fish.

But in this era, wild fish are very rotten things, and people don't pay attention to them.

"Xiaoyuan said he would do it." Xiao Suhe is a hearty man, smiling and playing round: "I grilled the fish at noon, but it's delicious, you can also taste it."

Although Lao Suhe nodded and agreed, they didn't pay much attention to it, Wang Yuan was a guest, so his tolerance was very high, if it was Xiao Suhe, I am afraid that Lao Suhe would have to take a stick and slap him.

When the sun was about to set, Wang Yuan's stewed pot of fish was finally ready, and all the big bubbles came out of the bottom of the pot, and the thick aroma spread after the surface exploded.

In an instant, the saliva secretion of Lao Suhe accelerated, and his eyes straightened.

This time, Wang Yuan also brought a lot of seasonings to Lao Suhe's family, cumin, cinnamon, star anise, bay leaves, coriander seeds, baizhi, orange peel and so on.

Put oil and seasoning, and the fish stewed out of the heat will naturally be fragrant.

"Okay, let's eat."

After dividing the food, everyone bowed their heads and ate it, not using a knife and fork quickly, it was indeed more troublesome to pick fish bones, but the little trouble in front of the fragrant food was not worth mentioning.

Wu Rina embarrassedly asked Wang Yuan if she could teach her the skills of fish stew, and Wang Yuan directly agreed to tell her the approximate amount of seasoning.

Grassland life is also quite boring, and cooking some delicious food for a while can also give you more happiness.

Nothing was said all night.

Day 3.

Lao Suhe went to herd sheep and chose which sheep for Wang Yuan to take away, while Xiao Suhe pulled his younger brother Lakshen, who was obsessed with martial arts, and planned to take Wang Yuan and his party to the marmot.

"Marmot skins are very expensive, and you can often see fur dealers coming to collect marmot skins, and the price they give is too low to sell to them, and you can make more money by clipping more marmots, and it is much more expensive to save up and sell them in the countryside."

Xiao Suhe was very happy, and began to prepare the tools he needed.
