The Kerguti Grand Canyon, which connects the two Mongolian tribes of Turghut and Heshute, is the place where elm trees grow the most in the entire Middle Tien Mountains. A large area of hundred-year-old elm trees, with thick trunks and strong roots, and lush branches; It not only tells the vicissitudes of the years, but also shows the tenacity of life.

The village of Kerguti, where Srigulen's house is located, is located in the middle of the gorge, in the densest elm forest.

Since returning from participating in the "Battle of the Seven Stars", Si Rigulen has fallen into the painful thoughts of losing his only nephew, Meng He. He took Meng and the Mongolian scimitar to his home; The handle was tightly wound with red thread, and with a scabbard, it was hung on the top of the inside of the yurt door.

Every time I gaze at the relics left by the hero, I recall not only the mighty image of Meng He bravely killing the enemy on the battlefield with swords and swords, and artillery fire; is also revisiting the majestic "Tianshan Pastoral" left by Meng He. The majestic song is both a declaration to the invaders; It is the unyielding voice of the heroic tribe!

Due to this incident and the impact of the great flood in July, the trip to Huduk Sumu on the south bank of Bosten Lake to marry his son Subotai was delayed......

The first two days of the beginning of winter. Srigulen heard that Huduksumu was still blocked on the south bank of Bosten Lake, and had withdrawn into the Kuruk Mountains, and his survival situation was worrying! He felt that he couldn't wait any longer, and that he should go and see it at this time, and that it would be best to help them as much as he could.

He took out the bride price that had been prepared; He also asked his son Su Botai to bring Meng He's Mongolian scimitar. Father and son set off overnight...... This should be regarded as a blind date trip for Su Botai, because he has not yet met the woman Yunduo; For Sri Gulen, this is the journey of marriage, because he has decided the marriage for his son and cannot change it.

The next morning, the father and son had already crossed the two blockade lines set up by the invading army on the north shore of Bosten Lake, and along the east bank where the enemy's defense was relatively lax, and arrived at the intersection of the east bank and the south bank - Shaliang Bay.

From Shaliang Bay, walk more than 30 kilometers west along the south shore, and you will not be far from the Xiaoyao Valley on the north side of Kuruk Mountain, which is the only access to and from Kuruk Mountain.

Si Rigulen judged that the focus of the enemy's monitoring and inspection should be on the lake on the south shore and the Xiaoyao Valley Pass. Therefore, it was decided to move forward to the southeast corner of Shaliang Bay, from the protrusion at the end of Shaliang Bay, through the desert hills, directly to the side of Kuruk Mountain, and then gradually approach the Xiaoyao Valley Pass along the side of the mountain......

At this time, the shore of Bosten Lake (also known as: West Sea) is already falling trees and cold. The reeds that stretch for hundreds of kilometers around the lake have completely faded from the dark green of the scenery for most of the year, and put on a golden coat to resist the severe cold. The crown-shaped red willow that accompanies it is unique and stands proudly, and its sauce-red body is more vivid and eye-catching.

Lying between the Taklamakan Desert and Lake Bosten, Mount Kuruk has been holding the water of the West Sea surging from the sky for thousands of years while blocking the impulse of the desert with its majestic body!

This is the largest inland freshwater lake in China, which is the home of the Kaidu River, a river that leads to heaven; It is also the birthplace of the Peacock River, the river of the Mother Desert. Zhong Lingyu is beautiful, and the treasures of the heavens nourish all living beings and countless people of all ethnic groups who have lived here for generations.

Since the iron hooves of the invaders trampled on the surroundings of Bosten Lake. People whose ancestors have made a living here for generations have been forced to wander the world. The land of fish and rice in the past no longer has the vitality of the past, and it looks dilapidated everywhere!

When the father and son struggled through the hilly area between the mountains and the lake, and along the side of the mountain to reach the Xiaoyao Valley Pass of Kuruk Mountain, they happened to bump into the Huduk Sumuxiao Riding School, Naren Kundu, who was patrolling the mountain pass.

Naren Kundu had met several times with Si Rigulen at the "Naadam" rally. For Sri Gulen's wrestling, riding, and archery, that is the admiration of the five-body throw! Unexpected encounters, naturally overjoyed!

In addition, in the past few months, he has been blocked by the enemy army in the Kuruk Mountain, and he has not seen familiar figures at all, and his heart is extremely depressed! This time, I was a little happy to see my own people coming, and I was even more excited than picking up a gold ingot!

He hurriedly took the father and son, through the Xiaoyao Valley and Chahan Canyon, to the temporary refuge place of Bensumu - Phoenix Terrace; He went directly to the home of Norbu, the head of the ten households......

In fact, since the beginning of autumn, Zuo Ling Ao Rixin and Xiao Riding School Naren have tried several times to lead Ben Sumu's men and horses to meet with the main force of the tribe; Then turn to the core assembly place of the tribe, the Baurtu Mountain. However, the plan was not realized because the invading army blocked all access roads to the east and west banks in advance.

Another major reason for not being able to break through the blockade and join the main force is that people can't bear to abandon the herds of cattle and sheep that the herders depend on for their livelihoods.

Therefore, Ozhixin and Naren decided to temporarily transfer all the men and herds of Bensumu to the Kuruk Mountain. Wait for Lake Bosten to freeze in the winter, and then watch for the opportunity to move from the frozen lake channel to the Bauttu Mountain.

Two months ago, from the northern shore of the Baurtu Mountains, there was exciting good news: Aguba had sent to sweep away the Yunus Flank Regiment of the Mongol tribes of Heshut, five cavalry regiments and artillery detachments of British mercenaries. In the Nayinke Grand Canyon and Baoertu Mountain, they were resisted by the soldiers and civilians of the Heshute tribe relying on the dangerous passes; In the end, he threw away his armor and fled in embarrassment! He was driven out of the Baurtu Mountains like a wolf driven by a tiger......

However, a more unfavorable situation for Huduksumu gradually formed: Yunus according to Aguba's arrangement. The two wounded cavalry divisions under his command were redeployed after replenishment and recuperation. A cavalry regiment of the 2nd Division, stationed at Chaganor, a step closer to Mount Kuruk, sealed the western shore of Lake Bosten; Another cavalry regiment (after being reinforced) was stationed in Ushtara and controlled the entire north and east banks...... All passages between Huduk and Baurtu were completely cut off.

The reason for Aguba's deployment is obvious. It can completely block the passage of the Heshute tribe out of the mountain; It also strengthened his supply channels for his future troops in Tuoxun and Dabancheng. This kind of calculation of "killing two birds with one stone" can be described as clever!

In addition, Agubo deployed the integrated 1st Cavalry Division of the Yunus Flanker Regiment on the line from the Balentai Grand Canyon Pass to the Kaidu River, specifically besieging the Turghut tribe who entered the mountains.

Now, Aguba, who was injured to the bone, finally has a long memory and is forced to change his strategy and tactics. Don't dare to venture into the mountains and assault the army anymore. Instead, he used blockade and deprivation of food and grass to realize his dream of trapping two Mongol tribes deep in the mountains, or surrendering to him in desperation......

The enemy's cavalry regiment, which was stationed in the Chagannuoer area, stationed three cavalry battalions in Baolang Village, which is located in the middle of the west bank of Lake Bosten from Yanqi to Bosten, Wulan Village before the Kaidu River enters the lake, and Lianhua Village, the source of the Peacock River flowing out of the lake. The three cavalry battalions formed a "pin" configuration and directly controlled the entire western and southern shores of Bosten Lake.

This Lotus Village is the junction of the West Bank and the South Bank. It is separated from the city of Korla by the Hora Mountain, which is only thirty kilometers away; And the distance from Kuruk Mountain, where the Huduk Sumu people and horses are hiding, is also thirty kilometers.

This enemy cavalry battalion stationed in Lianhua Village is very active and meritorious! Patrols are often dispatched from Lianhua Village to the foot of Kuruk Mountain on the south bank to investigate the whereabouts of people and horses who have taken refuge in the mountain, and to oppress the other party's activity space. Wait for the time to be ready to sweep Mount Kuruk. This poses a serious threat to the survival of the entire Huduk Sumu people.

The Phoenix Terrace, where Huduk temporarily settled, is already in the heart of Kuruk Mountain. Although the vegetation here is not as lush as the Baurtu Mountains on the north shore, the carrying capacity of cattle is very limited; However, it is obviously an ideal place to guard against and block the direct attack of the invading army.

This small col, which is a little more than a kilometer in circumference, is densely packed with more than 100 large and small felt bags. Dozens of herds of cattle and sheep are crowded in makeshift sheds in various corners.

One hundred and ten war horses, a temporary stable built on a large platform in the center. Although the forage is scarce, half starved and half full; But the war horse is still majestic and unusual!

In the big tent of Sumu, Zuo Ling Ao Rixin, Xiao Riding School Naren and several heads of ten households are discussing countermeasures to get out of the predicament.

Orixin said: "Aguba's Yunus 'Flanker Legion' suffered a great loss at Nayink and Baurtu. So he has completely changed his strategy now, and no longer seeks to force the mountain; Instead, they concentrated their forces on closing all the passages, trying to block us in the mountains and starve to death. This trick is really amazing, and we really can't hold on to it for a long time. It is still about a month before the lake is completely frozen. Do you see if there is any good way? I can hold on until that time. ”

"Looking at this situation, the Kokand thieves will definitely do everything possible to block all the passages. Even when it freezes, it may not be safe to move from the lake. The situation here has been informed to the tribal camp by the 'Flying Pigeon Messenger'. Tashi Delktaiji: Let's not take risks for now. He's also figuring out a way. Naren said.

"The cavalry regiments of the 'Flanker Legion' of Yunus are stationed in the Ushtara and Baurtu Passes, and the men and horses of the tribesmen's battalion cannot come out at all, and I guess Taiji has no good way to meet us...... However, it is also relatively safe for us to stay here. They won't be able to get in! The head of the ten households said.

"The problem now is that Aguba, who is a dog, has taken the line from Korla and Yanqi to Ushtara as his next attack on Tuoxun and Urumqi. He now wants to 'kill two birds with one stone', which can trap us and consume us, and also keep this great supply line open." Now, the imperial court can't care about entering the territory at all. I think that in the next few years, there will be a large number of their troops stationed along the way. In the short term, the situation will not change...... There are not many plants and trees in this Kuruk Mountain, and they cannot support the consumption of the herd at all. Therefore, we have to move to Baoertu Mountain as soon as possible...... "said the head of the 10th household.

"The Aquba army has completely blocked all passages. Under these circumstances, it would be impossible for us to enter the mountains even if we reached the vicinity of the Baurtu Pass...... Besides, the Baurtu Ranch has now increased by tens of thousands of people and hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep. Grain and grass are interrupted, and there is no support for winter and autumn pastures; Their lives are not necessarily better than we are now...... However, at present, Aguba has not yet captured Tuksun. The passage from Baurtu to Alagou and Barentai is open for the time being. Our tribal camp and the Turghut tribe can still have contact. Turghut can use the passage from Bayinbrook to Ili to raise some grain and grass, which can solve their urgent needs. But this can only be a temporary emergency, not for long. Ao Rixin said worriedly.

"The closest Aguba's army is to us is this cavalry battalion stationed in Lotus Village. It was the patrols of this cavalry battalion that came to our mountain passes and lakes that were active. They basically come on patrol every other day...... Now we are 'sitting on the empty side', and the supplies are getting less and less. I want to get ready tomorrow and go to the lake to fish! Get more food to come back and improve the food for everyone. I will also feel the pattern of the activities of these thieves to see if there are any fixed opportunities in the future, completely stagger with their actions, and make more money. Naren said.

"These patrols come and go at a different time, and the purpose is to oppress us not to move. It's still dangerous to go this way. If you want to go, you must take a few more capable cavalry with you, and bring more bows and arrows. Once you can't get out, it's easy to parry. The head of the ten households said.

"Hmmm! He had a patrol of more than 30 cavalrymen. If we really meet on a narrow road, I really want to him again! Let him know that we're not vegetarians either...... I'm going to take with me Uncle Srigulen, a well-known rider, wrestler, and archer of the Turghut tribe. The felt bag held in the mountains was stuffy, so I simply went out together and took a break! ”

As soon as Si Rigulen was mentioned, everyone was interested! But Ao Rixin sighed, felt a little apologetic, and said slowly:

"Brother Sriguleng brought his son on a blind date. Unexpectedly, I was trapped here and couldn't go. I'm sorry to say! It's hard for them......"

Naren quickly glared and grimaced, waved his hand, and said mysteriously, "It's not like this! With the skills of their father and son, it is not easy to go home? They! It was because I was worried about the safety of the clouds that I stayed. I'm afraid that something will happen to the clouds! This is the responsibility of a man! …… I think, Uncle Srigulen and Su Botai are in a dilemma? Go home, worry about the clouds; If you don't go home, there may be a lot of things going on at home. Let's go with the clouds, and we haven't married yet......"

Ao Rixin nodded slightly. After a little thought, he explained to Naren and said, "You can't let the family be in a dilemma. You find a suitable opportunity as soon as possible and discuss it with Yunduo's parents. In special times, everything is simple. Let's see if the wedding of Su Botai and Yunduo can be held in advance on Phoenix Terrace? This reassures both families, and the rest will be easy to say......"

"Okay! I'll find an opportunity to discuss it with Uncle Norbu and Aunt Dark Cloud. However, the uncle and aunt may also be worried that they have wronged their baby daughter......"

Since Su Botai was brought to Huduk Sumu by his father, he saw his unmarried bride Yunduo. I was immediately attracted by the beauty, dignity, gentleness and kindness of the clouds! In his heart, he has quietly converted the "blind date trip" into a "dating trip".

And Yun Duo also fell in love with Su Botai's youthful heroism at first sight! Especially for Su Botai's manhood in fighting with the invading army on the battlefield of the Seven Stars, I admire it very much! In the dark, she already felt that this was the person she was destined to entrust!

It was like love at first sight! In addition, facing the pressure of the invaders' soldiers and the uncertain future, the hardships and hardships have added to the feelings! The two are even more affectionate and can't bear to be separated. Yun Duo was reluctant to leave Huduke and venture back to his hometown; And Su Botai was even more worried about the safety of the clouds and couldn't bear to leave.

Yunduo's father Norbu and mother Wuyun looked at the young and talented future son-in-law, smiling from ear to ear every day. Even Yunduo's own brother Bourgood was very excited! He is as close as a brother and as glue as lacquer.

Srigulen also saw his son's thoughts, and accepted the earnest retention of the Norbu family. The father and son lived in peace of mind in the felt bag specially prepared for them by the new leader of Ori. is ready to guard the Yunduo family and spend the difficult times with Huduk Sumu; Wait for the right time to escape from the clutches together!

Fearing that the father and son were homesick and depressed, Bourgood saw an opportunity to call Shangyun and his fiancée, Sainqimig, and run into their felt bags.

In order to reassure the father and son, and to show his talent, Bourgood demonstrated Huduksumu's "Ballad of the West Sea" to everyone, and sang affectionately:

The West Sea is vast, the Tianhe River is vast, this is my magnificent hometown!

Wuhua Tianbao is an endless elixir given by the heavens of immortality.

Zhong Lingyuxiu is the Buddha and Bodhisattva who protect all things and grace the family.

The sun is shining and the moonlight is deep, indicating the reincarnation of thousands of years!

The willow green flowers are red, and it is a dojo where all the fairies dance.

The people are prosperous, and it is the lake god who sends the five grains to harvest and the fish is full.

Everyone immediately sent him the warmest applause! In Bourgud's heart, it was unusually proud!

Si Riguleng listened to this "Ballad of the West Sea", which is different from the style of "Tianshan Pastoral", and his eyes were also bright and his spirits were lifted!

But at the same time, he also understood that this was only the good wish of the people of Huduk to enjoy life before the arrival of the invaders; And at present, the enemy army is pressing the border, and all this has become an unrealizable empty fantasy......

Early in the morning, Naren came to the felt bag of Srigulen......

As soon as Su Botai heard that Naren Kundu invited his father, he prepared to go out to the lake to fish; He also agreed to go with Yunduo's brother Bourgood, and was immediately overjoyed! So he hurried to Bourgood.

When Bourgood heard about it, he was even more excited! He hurriedly opened his father's armory bag and found two hard bows and two scimitars for himself and Subotai; Thinking that once you encounter the enemy army, then show your hands again and show everyone it!

Su Botai patted the scimitar scabbard on his waist, "I already have ......," he said, and took it off and gave it to Bourgood to see.

Bourgood took it, pulled out his scimitar and looked at it, and was shocked! I saw that the red thread on the handle of the knife was very carefully wound, and the scabbard was also new; But on the blade, there are already several obvious gaps. He hurriedly asked:

"This is a knife that has been on the battlefield! You've used it on the Seven Star Battlefield? ”

Su Botai shook his head, "This knife was given to my cousin Meng He by Abba back then. My cousin used this knife to cut down the enemy's banner! As a result, it was covered by the artillery fire of the British and sacrificed on the battlefield of the Seven Stars...... None of the bones were found, only the knife. ”

Bourgood nodded silently, "Then put away the knife left by the hero as a souvenir." Let's use a new ......"

Seeing that his sweetheart and only brother were going to take risks, and there was no way to stop them, Yun Duo secretly cried in his heart, and felt unspeakably uncomfortable.

At this time, Sainqimig heard that Burgud was going to follow Naren Kundu out of the mountains and venture down to the lake to fish. She hurried to the felt bag of the cloud house; The uneasiness in my heart was all on my face.

Yun Duo took Saiyinqi MiG's hand and asked softly, "You know it too?" ”

Saiyinqi MiG nodded and sighed!

The two looked at each other, their hearts in disarray; Don't know what to say at this point? What to do?

Saiyin, who has a more extroverted and pungent personality, suddenly moved in his heart! Pulling the clouds, he said:

"Let's not be scared at home, simply! Go with them! ”

The clouds are shining brightly! Quickly nodded and said, "Hmm! Yes, go to them. The two hurried to find Bourgood and Subotai.

Bourgood and Subotai were helping to sort out the messy fishing nets, and they were all shocked when they heard what Saiyin Qi MiG said!

"This isn't to see the scenery, what are you going to do?" Bourgood yelled with a sinking face.

"We also have the strength to help you do your work, can't we?" Saiyin MiG argued.

"Effort? Now when you go out of the mountains, you can run into patrols of the Kokand army at any time. It's possible to do it at any time! If I brought you with me, wouldn't it be a burden? ”

"I don't care if it's tired or not. The two of us are going to follow you! It's really something, let's carry it together! ”

"Together? What do you use to carry it? It's not enough to make a mess! ”

"Brother! We can't do heavy work, and we can't go into battle to kill the enemy; But we stand on a high place and stand guard for you. It's always okay, right? Yun Duo said.

"That's not going to work either! I'm worried about you, so can I still let go? Don't join in the fun, I'll talk about it later! ”

Su Botai saw that these two girls were determined to follow, especially this sister-in-law who had not passed the door, who had a stubborn personality and would not let go easily. So he hurriedly played the round and said:

"This time, we are trying to understand the situation, mainly to understand the rules of action of the Kokand patrol. Can you go to the lake? Where to go to the lake? There's no way to know for sure. You follow, and you really can't do it. Later, I will find out the name of this hall and then take you with me...... Don't worry too much! We are all fast horse cavalry, and even if we encounter a Kokand patrol, it can't outrun us. Rest assured! You are waiting at home for news from us. ”

Saiyin Qimig thought for a moment, and felt that what Su Botai said seemed to make sense. She said to Bourgood with a calm face:

"Look at it! Su Botai understands reason and can speak. Unlike you, the temper of the second pole can't be changed. I get angry at every turn...... Clouds, then let's go to the Xiaoyao Valley Pass and wait for them. ”

Bourgood was relieved when he saw Sainqi Mig, and he breathed a sigh of relief. Squinting his eyes, he said, "Your lives are more precious than our gold." We went into battle to charge, even if we sacrificed our lives, and it was fine. As long as you live, our tribe will not break the incense! Got it? ”

"Phew! I know you, and I can't say anything good. If something happens to you, we don't want to live! Saiyinqi MiG shouted.

"Alright, alright! It's that I don't like what I say. I was wrong! Okay, right? But how long will it take for us to act? It's hard to say. The Xiaoyao Valley Pass was also unsafe, and there was frequent activity of the Kokand army. Besides, on such a cold day, it is not good to wait stupidly in Xiaoyao Valley, and it is not good to freeze! I don't think you're going anywhere, just stay at home. When we get the fish back, you can stew it for us. Okay? Bourgood said patiently.

"I think it's okay this time. When they figure out the situation, the next time we go, we'll go with them. Yun Duo comforted Saiyinqi Mig and said.

Saiyinqi MiG hesitated for a moment, then nodded......

The next morning, Naren took Srigulen, Subotai, Burgud, and twenty capable cavalrymen, with fishing gear, from Phoenix Terrace to the Xiaoyao Valley Pass.

He whistled twice loudly. The two secret sentinels hidden halfway up the mountain immediately responded and rushed down the mountain.

"What's going on today?" Naren asked.

"No patrol of theirs was found today. Yesterday, they swung along the reeds by the lake in the morning to Egret Island; In the afternoon, we returned from Egret Island. It's still the same, come every other day. ”

"Do they better investigate in front of the mountain pass first, and then go to Egret Island?"

"Yes! These guys drove from Lotus Village, and they all went to the reeds by the lake after investigating the situation in this Xiaoyao Valley Pass. Follow the edge of the reeds and head towards Egret Island. They are particularly concerned about the manure left behind by sheep, cattle and horses. It is estimated that they used this method to judge the entry and exit of people and horses. ”

"What's going on with the number of people and equipment?"

"Thirty-six cavalrymen, all equipped with rifles and sabers. Armed at all points. ”

"Did you find any backup for this patrol?"

"We didn't find any of their other teams though; However, it feels like somewhere behind them, there should be people who are backing up......"

"Do you know how they rest and eat in between?"

"When they arrived at Egret Island at noon, they lit a fire there and cooked. Return in the afternoon. ”

Naren pondered for a while, and then asked, "If they haven't come yet, can you tell that they won't come today?" ”

"It's not time yet, but it's pretty much certain that we won't come back today. However, this is not 100% certain. These guys are elusive, and they may be surprised at some time! ”

Naren looked at the "beacon tower" on the top of the mountain, and asked, "Are the warning points on the top of the mountain ready?" ”

"Ready! Now, this point above our heads is the first one. The middle section of the Valley is the second, and the end is the third; The fourth is in the 'first line of heaven' in Chahan Canyon, and the fifth is on the 'Phoenix Ridge' on the edge of Phoenix Terrace. ”

Naren nodded and explained to the sentry, "Today we have all the fishing nets with us, and we are ready to go down to the lake to fish." If there is an emergency, we need to be warned, and arrows can be fired; If they are found to be attacking the Valley of the Loose, they will immediately light the wolf smoke on the beacon. ”

The two sentinels nodded......

Naren led the team to the lake. It was found that although the lake surface has not been completely frozen, the reeds and red willows around the lake have formed a thick layer of ice. The boat hidden in the reeds and willows was frozen with the reeds and willows.

It took a lot of effort to break the ice around the boat and get it out.

I just put the throwing net and hanging net on the boat. Bourgud stepped forward to Naren and said, "Kundu. Let's go to the lake today, it seems that something is missing? ”

Naren was stunned! Puzzled, he asked, "What's missing?" ”

Bourgood said solemnly: "Today is the first time we have gone to the lake to fish this winter. I think in the past, they used to 'sacrifice to the lake' first, and then go to the net. Aren't we saved? ”

Naren smiled, "You kid is young, you really know some rules...... According to the rules, it is true that you should first 'sacrifice to the lake' and then go to the net. But now is a special period, and I can't take care of it. Besides, though we brought wine, we did not bring the celebrants; We didn't remember those sacrificial words......"

Bourgud smiled mysteriously and said, "I have memorized the words, if we have a simple 'sacrificial lake' ceremony, I will recite the words!" ”

Everybody's happy!

"Are you really good?" Naren asked, confused.

"No problem!" Bourgood replied firmly.

"That's good! Bring the wine, how do you start the 'sacrifice to the lake'......"

Everyone poured the wine into the bowl. Bourgood took up the bowl and recited aloud to the sky:

"Worship the mountain, worship the water, worship the god of the lake! Respect for the sky, respect for the earth, respect for the sun! The West Sea is vast, the snow is auspicious, the mille-feuille ice flowers, flashing divine light! The Heshute tribe Huduke Sumu, here today, worships the god of the lake! May the god of the lake bless me with longevity, happiness and health, and the continued prosperity of all living beings! ……”

"I'll also say a few words," Naren was also a little impatient, ready to explain today's simple ritual to the lake god, "Immortal Heaven is above!" Bosten Lake is now trampled by the invading army of Aguba and British mercenaries, and the people are displaced and their lives are in misery. The ceremony is simple, and it has to be a last resort! Wait to drive away the invaders and thieves, Ben Sumu will make up the 'Lake Sacrifice Ceremony', please forgive the lake god! ”

The ceremony was completed and everyone began to act.

It may be that they were blessed by the god of the lake, and after noon, everyone had a big harvest. The caught bighead fish and carp were packed in two sacks. Bourgud and Subotai, who had not made it to the boat, kept wandering around the reeds and picked up a large basket of duck eggs......

In the afternoon, everyone hid the boat, brought the harvested fish and duck eggs, and happily returned to Fenghuangtai.

The people of Orixin and Sumu were all elated to see that Naren's team had returned safely and with a full load!

The clouds and the MiG were even more ecstatic! The heart that had been hanging for a day finally landed. Hurry into the kitchen to help......

In the evening, the men, women and children of the entire Sumu had a full meal. This is the first time in three months that I have happily improved my food.
