Less than a month after the Spring Festival, Man Tang eagerly led the mountain tigers and Erkui to load a cart of farming tools and spare dry food on the road, and they set out from Ren Xiaopu all the way to the west with a beautiful vision and firm ambition.

Four fat and vigorous jujube red horses carried three young surging hearts, galloping on the snow.

Changqing's daughter-in-law purchased a bearskin coat from Russia for the three of them, lambskin pants, and Mongolian felt gada boots specially selected from Changchun.

The heavy snow fell all the way, and the mountain tiger asked Mantang excitedly: "Second master, there are beasts in Honghugou in Baiyin Township where we are going?"

Mantang was also very excited, and he said loudly, "Yes, there are many more."

Man Tang stood up the tongue of the sheepskin hat and happily told them the legend of 'beating the roe deer and scooping the fish, and the pheasant flew into the rice pot', slowly unfolding the beautiful and rich picture scroll of Baiyin Township in the air with goose feathers and heavy snow. A vast white birch forest towers majestically on both sides, connected with the flying snowflakes, and the black spots on the birch trees occasionally show that these handsome forest sons and daughters wear a natural cloak of flowers, and they grow freely on this vast black soil.

The excitement and wild mood in the hall poured out for thousands of miles, the fire in Erkui's heart was burning hotly, and the heart of the mountain tiger was just like boiling magma being stirred up by youth to rush out and flow uncontrollably.

The seven-day expedition gave Shanhu and Erkui an open life, as if they were the real masters of the vast land.

The three young people do not have the fatigue of continuous progress at this moment, there is no difficulty of unbridled wind and snow, only the longing for a better life and perseverance.

Mantang took the mountain tiger and Erkui to Honghugou more than 200 miles away from Baiyin Township and settled down.

There is only one herdsman, Su Hetai and his wife Wu Linzhu, and their three sons and a daughter, who are still minors.

Su Hetai's family was both surprised and delighted by their sudden arrival, and the children were even more happy to eat delicious things they had never eaten and fun things they had never seen before.

Wu Linzhu was wearing a hand-sewn robe, her thick charcoal-like long black hair was casually coiled on her head, looking natural and decent, her yellow eyes reflected the goose-egg-like face a little immature, and her long eyelashes could not cover her kind and simple heartbeat. She quietly withdrew from the yurt at the hint of the man.

Su Hetai was a standard Manchu man, stout like a fighter's bull, with a wide black and red face, a straight high nose, protruding reddened cheekbones, and a blue-gray light flashing in his pupils from time to time, and warmly entertained them in his glancing Chinese.

Wu Linzhu brought a piece of milk lump from the outside, and after a while, it was steaming milk tea, and the aroma of butter tea suddenly filled the small yurt, and a warm current flowed into people's hearts.

The men sit around on the felt, followed by butter, dried milk, and shaqima, as well as hand-handled meat and boiled dumplings.

Mantang asked Erkui and Shanhu to unload a jar of home-brewed red sorghum wine from the car.

When Erkui came back from outside, he secretly told Mantang that the carriage was stuck on the pier, and the unloaded horses were grazing in the courtyard.

Man Tang knew that it must have been Wu Linzhu's work outside just now, and he thought to himself, he couldn't see that she was really a woman.

After all the tricks, they forgot about the wool tent, and it was a loss that a felt house in Su Hetai's family in the old years was not lost in the Hara Lake in the transfer, Su Hetai and the full house had lunch, and after a while, a felt house was erected.

In the yurt, Su Hetai carefully made a wooden couch bed, and the wooden bed was surrounded by a semicircle from west to east to sleep.

Mantang's life outside was much more difficult than at home, sleeping on a wooden couch, with a few wolf skins on the lower floor, a few old blankets in the middle, and then blankets, and on the top was the thick bedding they had brought from home, on the ground floor, and a stove in the middle.

The yurt is full of people who only sleep and keep warm, and the yurt is empty, much more simple than home. But the Mongolian atmosphere is strong, as if the whole yurt does not exude a fierce wildness.

Erkui and Shanhu slept on soft felt, tired from several days of travel With such a comfortable nest, they fell asleep soon after lying down.

After taking the last puff of cigarettes, he poured the cigarette butts from the cigarette pouch pot into the stove, and took off his clothes and pants and got into the bed. As soon as I got in, I was excited, and slowly there was a temperature, the heat emitted by the human body and the heat generated by the friction between the human body and the quilt were combined into one, forming a soft and comfortable gentle field, and people sleeping in it had a feeling of laziness and greed.

The next day, Su Hetai lifted the cotton curtain and saw the three of them lying horizontally and vertically like children, without the rules of last night.

Su Hetai smiled and said, "If the wolf comes in, it won't wake you up." Hurry up and drink milk tea. ”

Hearing the wolf's words, the three of them sat up smartly.

When the hall saw that it was Su Hetai, he smiled and rubbed his eyes that were still sleepy.

Mantang said, "I slept so comfortably this night."

Shanhu also smiled and said, "This sleep is really good."

Erkui smiled and said, "You all said it, let me say it too, this sleep is really fragrant, it's so comfortable."

Ha ha...... The laughter of the men in the room is legendary.

After breakfast, Su Hetai took them to gallop on the vast desert prairie, watching the east mountains continuous, watching the west ridges stacked, standing through the jungle, lying in the snow, so happy and happy.

The blood circulation of youth is all around, there is endless passion, and the beautiful ideal and the charm of nature are steaming out infinite reverie.

When the ice and snow melted, Mantang, under the suggestion of Su Hetai, selected a large area of wasteland north of Honghugou, and they first opened a firebreak more than one meter wide around an open field to prepare for the fire.

Mantang made the preliminary preparations very meticulously, and because the area of wasteland was relatively large, they divided it into several large pieces of wasteland with isolation belts.

Su Hetai chose a windless weather, Mantang lit the first fire with flint and steel, and threw it into the vast desert grassland, when the raging flames burned all over the place, and the sky was dyed red, Mantang seemed to see the golden wheat waves swaying with the wind and greeting them; Looking at the fields of soybeans, they waved their pods excitedly, making a pleasant invitation sound; And the tall sorghum raised the black, red, black and red proud faces, as if to plant a red flag of victory and triumph for them, and the red fire burned the hearts of the reclaimers.

Mantang never thought that this fire would also burn the eyebrows of the snake on the ground......

After dinner, the four people in the hall chatted around the stove, going up to the sky and the earth, blowing omnipotently, blowing so that they themselves blushed.

The mountain tiger asked Su Hetai for confirmation: "Brother Su, are there many beasts on your wasteland?" What beasts are there? ”

Su Hetai said in clumsy Chinese pronunciation: "There are many, dogs, wolves, rats, hares, mountain eagles, wild horses, wild camels, wild asses...... You'll all be able to see it later. ”

Erkui asked, "Are there a lot of wolves?"

Su Hetai said: "Many, if you see one, you can see a group."

Mantang interjected: "Don't panic when you encounter a wolf, don't run in a hurry, you have to be calm, first observe whether there are any sticks or other things that can be used around, and then see if there are big rocks and mounds that can be relied on, and you must find a favorable terrain to resist, and then find an opportunity to escape." And there must not be a provocation to irritate the wolf. Remember not to turn around and run when you see a wolf, as there will be wolves that you don't notice and chase you at the shortest distance. ”

Su Hetai said with a pun: "It's not terrible to encounter a wolf, but it's terrible to meet a human wolf."

Erkui asked suspiciously, "What?" And man-wolves? ”

After spitting out the cigarette in his mouth, Mantang said, "That's what we call the snake on the ground."

The mountain tiger added: "The strong dragon can't overpower the ground snake!"

Erkui looked at Su Hetai and said, "What rule?"

Su Hetai smiled and said, "In the words of your Han people: those who eat grass do not follow the rules."

The four of them looked at each other and smiled, haha......

Wu Linzhu brought a pot of steaming milk tea, and a large plate of air-dried sausages at the door, she said to the big guy: "You guys drink, I'm going to sleep with the children, the milk tea is not enough in the bag."

Mantang said, "Brother and sister, you can rest quickly, this pot is enough for us to drink."

Seeing that Wu Linzhu was gone, he asked Erkui to fetch sorghum wine, and several people drank small wine with air-dried sausages, as well as mellow butter tea, which opened up the man's world......
