Chapter 158: The Loving Herdsman

Have friends come from afar? After being introduced by two Mongolian friends, the group was warmly welcomed and warmly entertained by the herdsmen brothers.

An Uncle Amur, who could speak Chinese, was even more hospitable, and specially slaughtered a sheep to entertain guests from afar.

Uncle Almu mainly raises sheep and cattle, and there are eight horses, and there are only two cows, so he is not ready to take them out, but the uncle promises to let the yaks buy good cows.

There was mare's milk wine, roast lamb shank and hand-grilled mutton, and the three of them and two friends had a full meal in the yurt of Uncle Amur's house, and the two Mongolian friends rode fast horses in the afternoon and returned to the Jelimu League.

In addition to him and his hard-working wife, Uncle Almu has another son who has married and had children and lives in another yurt; There are also two daughters, the eldest daughter is 20 years old and the younger daughter is 18 years old, both of whom are unmarried.

The three have yet to see Almu's two daughters, and it is said that they have been grazing together in the pastures and have not returned.

The wife of Uncle Almu laid out a felt quilt for the three of them, and the three of them stayed in the yurt of Uncle Almu's house to rest temporarily.

Uncle Almu and his wife looked at Yakzi and Li Gang with a happy smile on their faces.

In the evening, Uncle Almu's two daughters returned from grazing, and when they heard that there were three guests from afar, they were very curious, and the two sisters, Toya, and Kikige, ran impatiently into the yurt to take a look.

When they came out of the yurt and were seen by Abu and Eji, the two sisters' originally pink faces were as ashamed as coals.

In the afternoon, Uncle Almu rode his horse and ran around the pastures, and made contact with two good cows for the yaks, just waiting to be traded.

Yakzi slept sweetly, and woke up almost at the same time as Li Gang, and as soon as the two of them opened their eyes, two beautiful girls suddenly appeared in the house.

At this time, I saw two beautiful girls each bringing a bowl of steaming milk tea from nowhere, and handed it to Yakzi and Li Gang with a smile.

"Here, please have tea."

"Milk tea, hangover cure."

The two sisters spoke fluent Chinese, and Yakzi and Li Gang expressed their gratitude to the two sisters.

"Why don't you have my share? Girl, go get me a bowl too. Old man Gao also woke up at this time.

Sister Toya went to bring another bowl of milk tea and respectfully handed it to Old Man Gao. Old man Gao joked: "Stinky boy, it's bad, this milk tea is poisonous." ”

Yakzi and Li Gang had already drunk, and looked at Old Man Gao in a daze with a bowl.

"It's not poisonous, Owo." Her younger sister Kikige pursed her lips.

"If I say poison, it's poisonous, if you don't believe it, we'll see, this poison is specifically poisoning you two." Old man Gao looked at the two girls secretly.

Sister Qiqige still insisted that it was not poisonous, but Sister Toya understood, and pulled her sister to hide with a blushing face.

In the evening, Amur's son, daughter-in-law and little grandson rushed to hear the news, and the Amr family prepared delicious food and wine, and the two sisters personally poured wine for the three of them.

Old Man Gao's drinking volume is considered a master in Xingfutun, but here, compared to Amr and his son Batu, he is much inferior, and Yakzi and Li Gang are even more powerful.

After three rounds of drinking, Tuoya and Qiqige saw it in their eyes, and took the initiative to help Yakzi and Li Gang carry the wine, the old man Gao knew that the two boys should not be happy too early, this wine is good, I am afraid that it will be difficult to return the favor.

At the banquet, the Amur family and the three of them were unrestrained and talked very happily, the old man Gao only cared about drinking wine and eating meat, the old man was very interested in the grassland herding life, asking questions about the pasture, and Toya and Qiqige were particularly yearning for the collective life of the mountain village, and kept bothering the Yanzi and Li Gang to talk to them.

Uncle Amur had already helped to contact the cows, and a stone in the heart of the yak fell to the ground, and he was very grateful for the warm hospitality and help of Uncle Amur's family.

With the master's wine, the yak stood up to salute Uncle Amur's family, and Uncle Amr appreciated the yak's responsibility, and was willing to do everything possible for the people to find a way, and took the wine bowl and drank it with the yak.

Seeing that the yak couldn't drink, Tuoya came over generously: "Brother Yakzi, you can't drink Abu, I'll drink it for you." ”

Toya said as she snatched the bowl and drank it all. Qiqige was not far behind, called Li Gang Brother Gangzi, and drank with him.

Brother Yakzi and Brother Gangzi called them like this, and the cheerful and generous grassland sisters regarded them as close friends.

The herdsmen of the Horqin grassland also practice the management of the people's commune, the livestock and pastures are collectively owned, there are also production brigades and production teams, and the herdsmen have three or five households in one hot, most of them are relatives, and yurts are built together. The distance between the hot places is dozens of miles, and there are few people who are not seen all year round, especially the guests from outside.

Hearing that there were distant visitors from the grassland, the herdsmen and friends in Haotri were very happy and cordial, and rushed to meet each other when they heard the news.

As night fell, the herders set up firewood, lit bonfires, played the huqin, beat the cane and drums, and began to sing and dance.

The two sisters, Toya and Kikige, were dressed up very beautifully, and generously invited Yakzi and Li Gang to dance.

The two sisters didn't allow them not to dance, so they took the initiative to hold hands and dragged them off the field.

Outside the yurt in Amur, there is a blazing bonfire, laughter and excitement. Old man Gao watched from the sidelines, and Yakzi and Li Gang were surrounded by two sisters and herdsman friends, dancing clumsy steps.

At the end, Toya pulled the baton aside, untied a Habutt Gesai and gave it to him.

He looked at it, he didn't know what it was, he didn't dare to accept it, and he was about to return it, but in a blink of an eye, Toya had run away without a trace.

Li Gang also encountered a similar situation, Qiqige gave him a talisman saber, this kid didn't know the secret, he was very happy, the night was covered, he didn't know that Qiqige was already shy.

That night, the three of them slept in a yurt with the Amur family, and the family took good care of them.

On the second day, Yakzi and Li Gang mentioned to Old Man Gao about receiving gifts, and the well-informed Old Man Gao told them that this was clearly a token of love.

Qi Zi and Li Gang were dumbfounded at this time, but it was easy to receive this token, but it was difficult to return it.

The two thought about it, but they couldn't return it, so they had to leave the token in the yurt when they left the grassland.

Since this is the case, it is not advisable to stay here for a long time, and the yak wants to buy cows early, at most live in the grassland for another day, and return to Xingfutun immediately.

However, it backfired, and Li Gang felt dizzy and weak when he got up early, and he shivered with cold. As soon as he touched Li Gang's head, Li Gang's head was hot, and he was clearly having a high fever.

Amur had already prepared three horses and beckoned Yakzi and Old Man Gao to go to other pastures to buy cows, Li Gang stayed in the yurt, and Qiqige took the initiative to stay at home and take care of him with Eji.

Amur, along with the old man and the old man, mounted their horses and soon arrived at a pasture, where they saw a dozen cows.

Amur led the Yakzi and Old Man Gao to find the production captain in charge of the ranch.

He asked the captain of the production team about the price of the cows, and the captain said that according to the regulations of the Banner People's Commune, each cow should be sold for at least 300 yuan.

The Xingfutun production team brought 500 yuan to the yak, and if you buy one cow, you still have 200 yuan left, and if you buy two cows, you still have 100 yuan left.

He thought that he had already spent a lot of money on food and accommodation at Uncle Amur's house for several days, and he must throw some money at his uncle as compensation when he left. On the way home, you have to stay and prepare forage for the cows, which costs money, so you can only buy one cow and keep the rest of the money for expenses.

Uncle Amur heard that the yak brought 500 yuan, and it was more than enough to buy one cow, but it was not enough to buy two cows, what should he do?

Selling two cows, the production captain can't be the master.

Uncle Amur wholeheartedly considered the yak, and deliberately rode a horse dozens of kilometers away to ask the leaders of the production team.

When the leader of the production brigade heard that the guests had come from 300 miles away to buy cows to help the people in Tunli survive the famine in the disaster year, he was deeply moved and decided to sell 400 yuan to two cows at a loss, and the remaining 100 yuan was reserved for the guests' expenses on the road.

With Uncle Amur around, the production captain is very cheerful, and the cows in the pasture are let the yaks and the old man Gao choose at will.

Rather, he asked the experienced Uncle Amr to help him select two three-year-old cows that were at the peak of milk production.

The cow was bought, and it was supposed to be able to return the next day, but Li Gang had a high fever and could not go on the road for the time being.

Amur's wife personally boiled the herbs, and Qiqige carefully served and cared for Li Gang at home.

Old man Gao and the yak were bored, and heard Amur say that there were often wild wolves in the pasture to harass cattle and sheep recently, and the two decided to try their luck with the herdsmen on the vast grassland.

Amur specially prepared two fast horses for Yakzi and Old Man Gao, and the two of them went to the pasture with Toya early in the morning.

Toya was glad to have a yak to accompany her to graze. When she arrived at the pasture, she invited Yakzi to accompany her to the cattle and sheep penals, but Yakzi couldn't refuse, so she had to ride a horse with Toya and set off together.

Two horses galloped all the way on the grassland, where is this to encircle cattle and sheep, it is clearly a grassland racehorse.

Toya is skilled in horseback riding, and he has been dealing with horses all year round, especially the jujube red horse, he doesn't know how many times he has ridden it, how can he be willing to fall behind at this time and chase all the way.

It was said that they would circle the cattle and sheep together, but Toya took the yaks away from the sheep, which was a safe haven and a miniature yurt.

Toya dismounts and stops outside the yurt, and the yak arrives and looks at Toya inexplicably on the horse.

"Brother Yakzi, this is my small yurt for grazing and sheltering from the wind and snow, you can come down and take a look."

Yakzi jumped off the horse, wanting to admire it outside the yurt, but Toya let go of the horse and forced him into the yurt.
