Chapter 22: The Hill and the Ridge Are Lost
Hearing the conversation between Hongxia and Dong Jing in the courtyard, Erdemutu rushed outside on the kang and shouted:
"More than an hour ago, they were wandering around the gate, and I said that Asgen was not at home, and told them to go back, and when Asgen came back to our house, they left. Dong Jing, why, these two children didn't come home? ”
Dong Jing was so anxious that her face changed, and she said: Uncle Ma, no. I was so busy cooking that I forgot about them. Where can this go?
Hongxia comforted her and said: It's okay, the child is playful, maybe he will go to someone else's house.
Dong Jing: This one on the left and one on the right, except for being good with Asgen, they don't have much contact with other children? Hongxia, you're busy, I have to find it quickly.
Dong Jing turned around and left.
Hongxia shouted: Sister-in-law, don't worry, maybe they will go home by themselves in a while.
Dong Jing didn't answer, and hurriedly left. After a while, she shouted in the village, and when everyone asked, they all replied that they did not see the two children. Dong Jing was really a little scared......

Shen Xiaoshan and Shen Xiaoling each picked up a wooden stick in their hands and used it as a weapon for self-defense. Xiaoshan also pinned the wooden stick diagonally to the belt of his trousers, and held the head of the wooden stick with one hand, just like holding down a sword that kills beasts and slays demons.
Xiaoling saw that his brother looked very majestic, and he had to learn to do it. He was young, and his mother didn't tie his trouser belt, but wore pants sewn with "elastic bands", and if he wanted to pin the "sword" to his waist, he had to insert it into his pants. What can I do?
"Brother, I want your trouser belt." Xiaoling said firmly.
"No, if I give it to you, won't I just drop my pants?"
"If you don't give it to me, I'll go home, and I won't go with you." Xiaoling stopped, pouting, and his little stomach was bulging with anger.
To be honest, if his younger brother went back and let himself "go to the grassland alone", Xiaoshan would be a little timid. But these pants were brought to my younger brother, and if my pants fell off, I didn't even have a place to hang the "sword"?
The hill looked around, and there was a way. He picked up a few handfuls of grass, twisted it around and around it into something called a "rope" for the time being, and tied it around Xiaoling's waist. He took his stick and pinned it diagonally.
Xiaoshan was afraid that his younger brother would be unhappy, so he hurriedly "flickered" and said: Your straw rope is the best, much stronger than my trouser belt, and you can be a whip when you are in a hurry, which is really good. If you don't like it, let's switch it.
Xiaoling heard his brother say this, how can he change it. Hurriedly covered the "straw rope" with one hand, and pulled out the "sword" with the other.
Xiaoshan smiled and said: Don't change and pull down! Let's go to the pastoral point to find Asgen!
The two "samurai" marched towards the steppe without hesitation!
…………
On the hillside of the pasture site, Asgen was fiddling with the cage of gnats his father had made for him. Sheep graze leisurely nearby, and the white and red horses never leave Agina's line of sight. The big yellow dog "Xiri" still wants to be close to the big black dog "Hari", but the arrogant "Hari" still ignores it, which makes "Xiri" not embarrassed, so he has to come to the little master's side and stare at "Hari" with complaining eyes. "Hari" didn't even glance at "Xiri", and was loyal to his duties with the unique attitude of a shepherd dog, keeping an eye on the sheep.
Agina continued to weave the cages, and now it seemed that he was obviously more proficient in his techniques, and his shapes were becoming more and more regular. But Asgen was not satisfied, and urged his father to speed up.
"Dad, you have to hurry up, you have to make it up."
Agina: Hmm.
Asgen: Dad, you're too slow to make up, and you're not as good as my mother.
Agina looked up at him and said, "What?
Asgen didn't look at his father at all, and said: My mother can embroider, she can embroider quickly, and she looks good.
Aginay: Oh.
Asgen: Dad, you said, I'm going to make you ten, no— it's eleven, no— it's a hundred...... Anyway, there are a lot of gnats cages, can you make them?
Agina: Yes.
One nagged non-stop, one word answered, and the communication between father and son was also warm.

At this time, Sarentai Gacha had been alarmed by Dong Jing's crying and heart-rending call. The women at home ran out, and the men at home pulled out their horses or started their motorcycles, ready to divide into small groups and look in different directions. The people gathered under a big tree in the village, waited for Shen Fu to come back and gave an order, and then began to split up.
Shuangxi brought a horse and approached, ready to ride to find it, he asked loudly: Have you been to the Boyne River? The water has risen in the past few days, and it is estimated that it has rained heavily upstream.
Without waiting for Dong Jing to answer, Gao Shuzhen said: Go, some of us went just now, but I didn't see it. There was no sign of children going by the river, so it must be fine.
Double Happiness: Alas, in the rainy season, the river is deep and urgent, so I have to guard against it.
As soon as Shuangxi's words came out, Dong Jing cried out with a "wow", and Hongxia, Lotus and others hurriedly came up to comfort her.
Shuangxi's wife Li Qiuju stepped forward and pushed him, complaining: If you can talk, you can speak, if you can't speak, shut up, no one treats you as a dumb person!
Shuangxi realized that he had gone too far, and without justifying it, he led the horse and stepped aside.
Gacha Dama Alatan Cang, who arrived in a hurry, asked: Did you call Shen Fu?
Dong Jing stopped crying and replied: Magachada, I have beaten it. He's rushing back.
Lotus asked: Where is Shen Fu now?
Dong Jing wiped her tears: I just called again, he has been coming out of the pastoral point for a while, and it is estimated that it will be soon.
Du Zhanyuan said: It stands to reason that he should arrive on a motorcycle?
Dong Jing: I didn't ride a motorcycle, he lent it to someone else yesterday and was riding a horse to drive back.
Du Zhanyuan: This is a trouble. Well, as I said, your family's pasture is quite close.
Seeing that the lotus was glaring at him, Du Zhanyuan hurriedly added: However, riding a horse is also quite fast.
Ma Alatacang took out his mobile phone and looked at the time, and said: Dong Jing, I don't think it's a way for us to wait like this, it's too much of a delay. Let's split up and look for it again, I don't think you need to go far first, just look around Gacha carefully, calculate the time, and you must rush back within twenty minutes. If you find it, it will be better if—then Shen Fu can come back, and then make a decision.
Everyone agreed with Magachada's proposal, and the riders immediately dispersed, and the women comforted Dong Jing.
Ma Alatan hurriedly persuaded Dong Jing and said: I know what you are worried about. We have good security here, there can't be any criminals who abduct and sell children, you have to be absolutely relieved of this, I, as Gachada, dare to vouch for my own head. Also, you have to relax, it is common for children to go to the grasslands for fun, and now there will be no wild beasts in the nearby grasslands, everyone knows this.
Dong Jing's heart calmed down a little, and the three dangers she was most worried about, "falling into the river, being trafficked, and being attacked by wild beasts", seemed to be basically eliminated one by one.
Ma Alatan came to the shade of the tree, found a large rock and sat down, staring anxiously at the time on his phone.
