As soon as the wedding ceremony is over, the wedding feast begins. Carrying the silver kettle, Caicik held the silver bowl in his hand, and began to toast the old people and accept the blessings of the elders......

The young people gathered in front of the yurt, and more than a dozen horse-head fiddles and tobshuer sounded...... Li Jie Kundu, Jiangba Kundu, Meng He, Zhao Tiefeng, Wei Xiao and others picked up the wine bowl and sang "Tianshan Pastoral" together:

The beautiful and magnificent Erbin Mountain!

It is the hometown where I was born and raised.

In the yurt at the foot of the mountain,

There lives the girl in my heart.

I want to sing out loud,

and fear that your father will be angry.

I will be by your side all the days of my life,

When will you be my bride?

O solemn Erbin Mountain,

It is a dojo for bodhisattvas to propagate the Dharma.

Underneath each peak,

It's all where I graze.

I want to sing out loud,

I was afraid that the Bodhisattva would blame me and put away my kindness.

The old Eji forgot the rings,

The dry food prepared for me smells of milk!

O misty Erbin Mountain!

It is a paradise for the gathering of the gods.

Underneath each peak,

It is a place where swans roost.

I want to sing out loud,

I was afraid that I would disturb the drunken dreams of the immortals.

Old Abba is wounded by the years,

Still wiping my beloved shotgun for me!

The boys and girls danced happily to the melodious sound of the piano and high-pitched singing......

Dorji, who likes to join in the fun, took his friends to nibble on the meat to his heart's content; While humming this "Tianshan Pastoral" that seems to be understood or not, he followed everyone. Dorji likes this song in his heart, and in the past two years, he has memorized the lyrics and melody clearly, and often lets go of his voice and practices for a while...... But at this time, Dorji felt a little empty in his heart.

For the first time in his life, he had this indescribable melancholy in his heart. When this sister, who tried to teach himself a lesson every day, liked to complain, and hated it very much, hugged Eji and cried bitterly before leaving home, he began to wonder...... When the crying red-eyed sister took his hand and apologized to him and told him that in the future, he would be a "man" who would take care of his parents and support the family, he instantly felt a heavy responsibility and pressure. At this time, when I looked at my sister again, I found that she was so kind and obedient, and she was very respectable and lovely! I regret that I was too reckless and sloppy, I shouldn't have been against her everywhere, and I shouldn't have made my sister and parents angry...... However, her new home is also in the tribe, and something will look for her. Moreover, it will be more convenient to find Brother Battle in the future! …… Dorji took the remaining bone and threw it into the air, and the sheepdog jumped high and held the bone steadily......

At this time, Ashan Kundu took his daughter-in-law Yunduo, his son Baolidu, and Sangeji's grandson Caitai Batu, and also rushed from the Valley of the Wolves to the Battelle wedding scene in Halmodun.

Ashan Kundu was joined by Kerguti's wrestling warrior Srigulen and his sixteen-year-old son, Subotai. Sri Guleng is Meng He's uncle, and Su Botai is Meng He's cousin. When he was young, he won the first place in the wrestling competition of the "Naadam" conference twice, and he was also excellent in horseback archery.

When Meng He saw his uncle and cousin coming, he was very happy and warmly welcomed. As soon as they met, he pulled down his face and taught Meng and this nephew a lesson:

"Battle is now married to a daughter-in-law. Su Botai will soon go to Huduke Sumu on the edge of Bohu Lake to marry, the girl is the daughter of the Norbu family of the ten households in Huduke, and the daughter-in-law of Ashan Kundu has the same name, also called Yunduo. But you kid just don't want to start a family, and always think about having a good time. I'm here this time to discuss with you Eji and Abba, and start a family for you! We have a girl in our Kerguti family who is good-looking, take the time to let them go and see ......"

"Uncle! I'm not in a hurry, I'm going to wait until I get rid of Aguba, the evil wolves who ran to the grassland, the world is peaceful, and then I can start a family. ”

"Nonsense! If you can't get rid of these thieves in ten or eight years, you won't be delayed for anything......"

"Isn't that right? Didn't they and Shute transfer to the Baoertu Ranch on the edge of Lake Bo? Why do you still want to go there? Now that the Kokand army has blocked that area, why are you going to get there? ”

"Yes! The Baolang Sumu on the west bank of Bosten Lake was transferred, and Huduk Sumu was the southernmost Sumu on the shore of Bohu Lake by them and the Shute tribe, and they did not have time to withdraw at that time. The Kokand army has completely blockaded the entire south and west banks, and the north and east banks are not safe. However, they can retreat to Mount Kuruk behind the South Bank and wait for the right time to move out. We're going to see if we can help them...... It's better to be able to bring the clouds out. ”

Meng He understood.

As soon as Ahsan Kundu saw Battle, he complained, "This is a great joy! Why didn't you notify me sooner? And let me come to congratulate you at night, and make my hands in a hurry, just like the urgent combat operation in Cherry Valley is to move troops to the tribal camp......"

Battle smiled and hurriedly explained: "Isn't it that Hatton saw me pick up a life and came back, worried about the long nights and dreams, and hurriedly let me get married...... You don't have to worry about having clouds and treasure power, but if I die in Korla at that time, then our family's incense will be broken......"

Meng He happened to come over and hear Battle's words, and said mysteriously with wide eyes: "Hey! On a day of great joy, unlucky words must not be spoken...... I'll take Bao Lidu and Cai Layer Batu to play with Dorji, you two should be careful when you talk! ”

Ah Shankun smiled and said: "Since Agubai's gang of thieves entered Xinjiang, or the evil wolves entered the grassland, they have experienced several times of life and death, and now they don't care about talking about this......

"Hey! Talking nonsense again, everyone has 'ninety-nine-eighty-one difficulties', and this is just the beginning...... You've got the clouds and you've got a son, and Battle has a home now, and you'll have a son soon. But what about me? I don't know where my daughter-in-law is...... I want to wait until I get the wolves out of the grassland before starting a family, so I'm going to live well now. Don't say those unlucky things again for me to hear! Meng He said with a glare, pointing to the clouds and Cai Cike, "You two, watch them!" ”

Cloud smiled and nodded. Then he took the hand of the cloud and said, "I have heard everything." Last time in the Heavenly Wolf Valley, you mother and son were simply too dangerous! ”

Yun Duo smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "It's a life." However, we are much luckier than the Sangejizo Leader and the villagers who died......"

Battle suddenly thought of the matter of the Elm Gully Pass, and said to Ah San Kundu: "The main force of Agubai's Third Army was in Elm Gully two days ago. They ambushed reinforcements sent by Urumqi, and now they don't know if they're gone. Elm Gully is too close to your Heavenly Wolf Valley, and if Aguba is anxious to avenge the 'Sharman Advance Team', he may send troops to attack Heavenly Wolf Valley at any time. And it must be an army of tens of thousands of people sent to it, so you have to be on guard! ……”

"It's okay! After receiving the notice from Sanji Meiren, we made preparations yesterday and set up a guard post at the Alagou Pass. If they really want to come to seek revenge, by the time they enter the mountain from the Alagou Pass and march to the East Valley Pass of the Heavenly Wolf Valley, our old and young people in Sumu will have already gone out from the West Valley Pass and are almost to Baruntai. Also, when I go back tomorrow, I will go to the Barentai Fortress and check the water of the two rivers between Barentai and the Valley of the Wolves. Check the traffic status. Don't worry! Ahsan Kundu said.

Battle nodded after hearing this, relieved. He also specially brought together Li Jie Kundu, Meng He, Jiangba Kundu, Zhao Tiefeng, Wei Xiao and Ah Shan Kundu, who participated in the battle of Heavenly Wolf Valley and the defense of Korla City, and chatted about the current war while drinking to their heart's content. Sri Gulen was also most interested in the progress of the war in this regard, so he brought Su Botai over as well......

Meng He held the wine bowl and staggered to find Dorji, who was having fun with the two little guys, Baolidu and Caijie Batu.

Meng He "plopped" and sat down next to Dorji. Seeing that Meng He was already drunk, Dorji wanted to get up and leave, but was dragged by Meng He.

Meng He pointed to Baolidu and Caijie Batu and said to Dorji: "These two little guys are fun, right?" I see they all listen to you...... The two of them were rescued from under the noses of the Kokand enemy with I, Ah Shan Kundu, and Li Jiekun all desperately climbed the cliff of the Great Glacier to the back mountain at the mouth of the West Valley of the Heavenly Wolf Valley......"

Seeing that Dorji was a little puzzled, Baoli nodded his little head and said, "Yes!" It was Uncle Meng He who tied us to their bodies and escaped from the snowy mountains! If Uncle Meng and my Abba had arrived a little later, the two of us and I, Eji, would have been arrested by those bad guys......"

Meng He hurriedly waved his hand and said to Baolidu: "No! It's not that I was almost 'caught' by them, but I almost died...... When the three thieves found the entrance to the cave where you were hiding, they didn't dare to go in, and one of the thieves lit the explosives and was about to throw them into the hole, and just as he threw the explosives into the hole, your father shot an arrow through his neck. You and your Uncle Li Jie Kundu jumped down and killed the other two thieves...... It's so suspenseful to think about! If we're a second late, you're in trouble with the two of you! ”

Cai Layer Batu clenched his small fist and said, "My grandfather was killed by the bad guys...... When I grow up, I will definitely avenge my grandfather! ”

Bao Lidu said: "Those bad guys not only killed Cai Layer Batu's grandfather, but also killed many of our Xia Erga Sumu. When we grow up, we will avenge them! ”

Meng He excitedly touched the heads of the two little ones and said loudly, "Hmm! Attaboy! Have courage! …… However, the gang of thieves who killed people in the Heavenly Wolf Valley have all been killed by us, and our revenge has been avenged. However, the thieves with them are here again, and they are now in Korla, and they may hit our grassland in the future...... Hurry up and grow up, and we'll go into battle together! ”

Dorji asked, "When we grow up, you are all old, will you still be able to fight?" ”

Meng He took a sip of wine, glared and shouted, "Hey! How to speak? As far as my body is concerned, it will be as hard as it will be twenty or thirty years later, and it will not be ambiguous to go into battle to kill the enemy! If you don't believe me? We'll see! ……”

Meng He said, touched Dorji's little face, and said with a smile: "How is it!" You're depressed now, aren't you? …… People are busy at home, and you quarrel with others every day; Now that they're married, they won't quarrel with you. In the future, all the work at home will be yours, herding sheep, feeding horses, carrying water, and chopping firewood, you will have to do ......."

Dorji's eyes widened, and he asked rhetorically, "Am I afraid to work?" ”

Meng He burped, and the wine went straight up. He squinted and smiled and explained, "I'm not, that's what I mean!" …… I mean, you want to ride a horse, you want to shoot arrows, you want to practice...... Is there still time? ”

"Not much impact! Don't worry so much, drink your wine! ”

"Hey! You kid, you don't know the hearts of good people! …… I mean, your brother-in-law is busy and has a lot to do...... If you have any difficulties in the future, come to me, and I will help you! ”

Dorji was a little happy at this time, grabbed Meng He's hand, and asked with a ghostly smile: "Brother Meng He!" Won't you marry a daughter-in-law? ”

Meng He was stunned! He took another sip of wine and said intermittently, "Hmm! You call me brother, that's right! The two of them call me uncle, and that's right! This generation? …… It's a bit of a mess! …… I'm in no hurry! I'm going to wait, son of Battle, to call me uncle...... You are also an uncle, and I will marry a daughter-in-law again...... If you marry a daughter-in-law, you will not be free. I can give it to you, for a few more years...... Master! ”

Meng He glared at Dorji again and said mysteriously: "Your brother-in-law Batel and King Khan, as well as Lama Mucheng...... At that time, I had been practicing martial arts with Master Huiyong for many years, and I didn't have a chance...... But I, although Wen Taowu is not good at martial arts, can ride horses, shoot arrows and wrestle, no worse than them...... I'm still in Cherry Valley, in front of the cavalry of the thieves...... Rescued a foreign girl named Catherine...... He looks good, and he can operate a British man-made cannon! ”

Dorji was clearly fascinated by the stories Meng He told. He hurriedly asked, "Is this Catherine so godly?" ”

"This Catherine is not ordinary! …… At that time, it was her, with three shells...... Knock out the thieves, four 'Gatling guns'......"

"What is a Gatling gun?" Dorji asked, puzzled.

"Oh! That's ...... The most powerful, murder weapon...... I drink a bowl of wine...... Two machine guns, you can kill hundreds of people! …… If it weren't for her, we really couldn't do anything about those thieves at that time, because their machine guns and cannons are very powerful! And they have chemical agents and a lot of explosives in their hands......"

"And where is this Catherine now?"

"I don't know where she is now? …… A few months ago, she was at the head of the Nanshan militia group Xu. ”

"Then do you want to marry a foreign daughter-in-law?"

"That won't do! The tribe may disagree...... People won't either, take a fancy to me! ”

"Then I'll help you go and drink now? Tomorrow I'll ask you to practice archery first! ”

"Hmmm! Good! I'll take you...... This apprentice! ”

The piano and singing voices are melodious and sonorous, and everyone's dance steps are graceful and chic...... Zhao Tiefeng and Wei Xiao once again served wine to Battle.

Dorji helped Meng He back to the venue where everyone was singing and dancing, and Bao Lidu and Cai Layer Batu followed closely behind. At this time, everyone sang "Welcome Song" and "Toast Song", and came to "Tianshan Pastoral" again, and the last third paragraph was just finished.

Meng He was interested at this time. He held the wine bowl in his left hand and led Dorji with his right hand, and Dorji led Baolidu and Caijie Batu in turn, and staggered into the center of the venue......

Meng He cleared his throat, and with the strength of wine, with the same melody, he sang loudly the fourth paragraph of his newly compiled "Tianshan Pastoral" after he participated in the decisive battle of Tianwolf Valley and the defense of Korla City:

O holy and rich Erbin Mountain!

It is a place coveted by robbers.

Underneath each peak,

It's all the battlefield I'm fighting for.

Hand blade thief, guard Eji and the girl in my heart,

It was the Immortal Heaven who gave me magical powers.

If the enemy's guns shoot through my chest,

Please bury me high on a hill!

My body will turn into another mountain,

My heartbeat is forever stirring on the prairie!

Hearing Meng He's newly composed singing, everyone's spirits were lifted! Against the backdrop of the cloudy invasion of the Agubo invasion army and the British mercenaries entering the country and approaching their homeland, this new fourth lyric is just the right one to sing everyone's heart! It also sang the blood of the Turks, and sang the courage and determination of the heroic tribe to resist the invading army!

Everyone applauded in unison and applauded loudly: "Well sung!" ……”

The pianists were even more stimulated, and together they continued to play with the same melody and an octave up! Everyone also began to shake their bodies and clapped their hands with the rhythm, waiting for Meng He to come again!

Meng He listened to the beat of the piano and the accompaniment waiting for him, looked at everyone's eyes and looked forward to him, and suddenly half of the wine woke up! But at this time, I felt that the qi of the dantian was a little insufficient, and the high octave must not be able to sing, and I felt a little embarrassed in my heart. But when you think about it, if you are cold at this time, you will lose face, and this face must not be lost! In a hurry, he had an idea, raised his hand at Daoerji, and said:

"Come on! We...... Come along! ”

Dorji nodded happily.

Under the accompaniment of the rich and melodious piano sound and everyone's beat, Meng and his fellow Daoerji made a temporary "duet" of the fourth section of "Tianshan Pastoral". Meng He continued to sing the middle and low voices, and Dorji sang the children's high voices; The two little guys, Bao Li Du and Cai Layer Batu, also hummed quietly along with their tones. The four of them all sang very hard!

I didn't expect this improvised singing combination to work perfectly! I came several times, until Meng He was paralyzed on the grass, and everyone was still unsatisfied!

The refreshing sound of heaven echoes in the grasslands and valleys, and the aftermath lingers...... The people of the steppe swept away the gloom of the approaching invading army and enjoyed this happy moment to the fullest!
