Chapter 370: The Herdsman's Family Understands the Situation

The prairie in late spring and early summer is the best season of the year, full of green, vigorous, and even the air exudes the fragrance of grass and the smell of life, lingering in it, which makes people feel refreshed.

It should be said that it is basically a hilly area of the plains, but since most of the hills have no trees or only low shrubs, it looks open and has a feeling of excitement and impassionedness.

"Except for the bushes on the mountains and the deep grass on the edge of Hulun Lake, where people can be hidden, the terrain here is not very conducive to concealment, and it is difficult to ambush."

Bi Ming looked at the open prairie, thinking that such terrain was not conducive to ambushes, and in order to achieve the ideal effect of ambushes, it was necessary to find a place where people could be hidden, but such an ideal place was not easy to find.

"The more flat the environment, the more relaxed the enemy's defense against ambushes will be, and the more conducive it will be to ambushes."

Yu Chenglong said that although this area looks very flat, there are many ups and downs, and it is not difficult to find an ideal ambush location, the key is that the garrison here has not been ambushed, and it is very lax psychologically.

"Commander-in-chief, there's a yurt in front, are we going to beg for water?"

Jiao Cheng asked Yu Jackie Chan, he knew that the commander-in-chief also wanted to observe the people here this time, although Yu Jackie Chan had been to the prairie in the past, but he went to the prince's house, and this time he wanted to see the real life of ordinary herdsmen.

"Mongolians are hospitable, so let's not bother people too much. Just go over and ask for a drink, and by the way, ask his family if he sells sheep? ”

Yu Chenglong agreed to Jiao Cheng's proposal, and as he spoke, he led the two to a slightly old yurt. He really wanted to feel what ordinary herdsmen lived, and it was estimated that Bi Ming and Jiao Cheng also had this intention.

From a distance, this yurt is not bad, but up close it looks a little worn. An elderly woman and a middle-aged woman with two and a half children were busy outside the tent, and the two children were playing. Seeing that someone was coming, the old woman greeted her in Mongolian.

Looking at the meaning of this elderly Mongolian woman, she still welcomes someone to come, and she also has a kind expression on her face. But Yu Chenglong and the three of them couldn't understand Mongolian, so they could only answer the old woman's questions in Chinese.

"We want to find some water to drink."

Bi Ming and Jiao Cheng were talking and gesturing, but the elderly Mongolian woman didn't understand for a long time. Fortunately, the middle-aged Mongolian woman still knew a little Chinese, said a few words to the old woman, and went into the house and brought out a pot of milk tea for Yu Chengchan and the three of them to drink.

Each of the three of them drank less than one bowl, indicating that they had quenched their thirst. Bi Ming talked to the two women about buying sheep in half-understood Mongolian, and the middle-aged woman also communicated with them in Chinese, which was not very clear.

The general idea is that you can't sell it at this time, you can only sell it in winter, and the sheepskin is not good in this season, and the lamb has not grown up. Besides, the herdsmen on the grassland do not sell sheep one by one, in short, it is inconvenient to sell.

Bi Ming said that he would buy a sheep and prepare to taste the taste of real grassland sheep, and he could pay a little more. After the middle-aged woman figured it out, she said a few words to the old woman, and the old woman asked her to go to the pasture to catch sheep.

The middle-aged woman rode her horse and left, and the three of them waited in the courtyard. Because of the language barrier, there was no communication, and the old woman brought them milk tea and let Yu Jackie Chan drink it, although the attitude was enthusiastic, but the language barrier affected the communication.

After a long time, the middle-aged woman drove back the whole flock, one or two hundred. He was accompanied by a middle-aged Mongolian man and a boy of fifteen or sixteen years old, followed by a mighty black dog.

When the man had put the sheep in the fold, he pulled out two rams, one of them was old and the other was not strong, and the middle-aged man took them far away and killed them. Took out some of the internal organs and threw them to the big black dog.

They didn't see the process of slaughtering two sheep in detail in Jackie Chan, but they felt that the time was not very long, which shows that this Mongolian man is also a good hand, everyone says that Mongolian men kill cattle and sheep like playing, which is not false at all.

Until this time, the Mongolian man had never greeted Yu Chengchan and the others, and he didn't even say a word to his family, everything was busy, as if it had been planned a long time ago.

After killing the sheep, skinning the sheep, and removing the sheep's head, sheep's hooves and its internal organs, this Mongolian man lifted the two slaughtered whole sheep one by one, came to Yu Chenglong and the three of them, and placed them on the grass curtain prepared in advance.

"Take it, take it."

The Mongolian man also spoke in stiff Chinese, and he also made comparisons while speaking. Obviously, he didn't speak much Chinese. At that time, although there were many exchanges between Mongolia and Han, only people living in mixed areas could understand each other's words.

"We'll just need one and give you money."

Bi Ming still spoke in his blunt Mongolian dialect, in fact, he didn't know if it was Mongolian or not, even if it was Mongolian, it was estimated that the pronunciation was also a problem, so he had no choice but to use gestures to make a gesture.

The Mongolian man looked at the money handed over by Bi Ming, and continued to gesture with his hand and said, "You will take both of them." ”

"That's fine, I'll make up some more money." Bi Ming felt that the money he gave to buy two sheep seemed to be a little less, so he wanted to discuss paying more, but he didn't explain it for a long time, and finally handed over the money again.

"No, take both."

The Mongolian man insisted strongly, not only did he stop collecting money, but also insisted that Bi Ming take both sheep away. Probably in his mind, the money given is already a lot, and it is natural for the guest to take away the two sheep.

Yu Chenglong saw that the two of them were fighting with red faces, thinking that these two were still temperamental, he looked up at the sky, and felt that the time was not early, if he couldn't come up with a compromise solution, these two people had to be humble, so he gestured and grabbed the Mongolian man.

"Let's cook the sheep together, and we'll eat it here, and we'll all eat it together."

"Well, friend, please!"

The Mongolian man readily agreed, with an excited expression on his face, and even spoke Chinese much smoother than before. This upright Mongolian man was naturally very happy when he saw that the guests were going to stay and eat together.

The herders on the steppes are all herded individually by family, and they don't interact much with each other, and they have fewer opportunities to eat together, although they want to socialize. Today, there are guests at home and they are going to have dinner together, so Muzha naturally expressed a warm welcome!

Although these three friends were not Mongolian men, they spoke honestly, behaved decently, and were friends enough, and Muzha certainly wanted to associate with such a person and drink some wine together, and that fairy-like feeling had already sprung up in his heart.
