The little mute's eyes flashed with warmth and nostalgia: "At that time, the fire sieve fostered me in a herdsman's house, and the hostess was called Ebokai.

Do you know how good she is? At night, the wolf jumped into the sheepfold and bit the sheep to death, and she actually dragged the tail of a big wolf with her hands, trying to pull the wolf out of the crowded flock! ”

Qin Liu, who was originally sleepy, immediately sobered up a lot, and listened to the little mute continue.

There are many unsung heroes in life, who do heroic deeds, but are not known.

I think that this Ebokai left a deep impression on the little mute with her bravery and fearlessness, savagery and heroism, and established a heroic and beautiful image of the grassland women.

"That wolf must be the length of an adult man from head to tail, and the wolf can bite her to death if she turns around, but she is not afraid at all!"

"And then?"

"The wolf was very smart, the upper body was squeezed by the frightened sheep and could not move, and the tail was dragged by Ebokai and screamed in pain, so it stopped squeezing forward, took a few steps back, and turned to bite Ebokai!

I had just rushed out of the yurt and was too scared to move, trying to help but not knowing what to do. ”

"Ebokai told me not to go over, and she jumped backwards herself, straightened the wolf's tail again, and pulled the wolf towards the dog.

Our sheepfold was only fenced and ox carts in a half-circle to block the wind, and the wolves held back the main force of the dogs on the other side, and relied on this wolf to drive the sheep to the east. Ebokai didn't let the wolf move forward half a step.

I drove the sheep forward, and the stupid sheep huddled together and squeezed the upper body of the wolf again, and Ebokai suddenly shouted, and with all his might, he broke the wolf's tail like a wooden pole!

The wolf screamed in pain, and his claws loosened, and he dragged it out of the flock again, and I went up and broke the wolf's teeth with a big club, and the wolf fell to the ground in pain, and the wolf dog came at this time, and bit the wolf's throat, and the wolf struggled for a while before he died. ”

Fight wolves with your hands in hand!

Qin Liu was so frightened that she couldn't sleep at all, and she looked out of the tent with some fear: "Are there many wolves on the grassland?" Will a wolf come and eat us now? ”

The little mute sneered: "The wolf is afraid of people, and only goes to trouble people when they can't find anything to eat in winter, and now the rabbits, marmots, and yellow sheep on the grassland are fat, and the wolves can't care about coming to us." ”

Qin Liu relaxed a lot, bent his knees, put his hands on his knees, and rested his head on his hands, waiting for the little mute to continue talking about life on the grassland: "Raising thousands of sheep still can't eat enough, and the life of you grassland people is too hard." ”

"The sheep do not belong to the herdsmen themselves, but are to be handed over to the chiefs and placed at their disposal.

However, the work of herding cattle is very comfortable," the little mute said with great interest, taking care of the feelings of the only listener: "The people of the grassland say, 'The cowherd and the cowherd will not be changed for a county official.'" The cattle go out early and return late, and they know the grass and others, and the cowherd has a lot of idle time. ”

Qin Liu couldn't help but yawn: "Why do you raise sheep and cattle?" Can't you raise sheep? Or all cattle. ”

"If there are no cows in the yurt, you can't get by. Driving, moving, milking, storing manure, skinning, eating beef, and doing skinning are all inseparable from cows...... Cattle, sheep and horses, every household must have them, and they are indispensable......"

Qin Liu fell asleep in the little mute's chatter. After several days of sleepless travel, she really can't hold it now.

When it was almost dark, the little mute woke her up and said, "The rain has stopped, let's rest here for the night and then leave." ”

Qin Liu only cared about answering the sound and fell asleep.

The next day when it was dawn she finally woke up, and she sat up to find that the little mute was still with his eyes open, and there were large dark circles under his eyes.

Qin Liu was a little ashamed: "You haven't slept all night?" ”

It is still very dangerous for two people and four horses to stay in the wilderness, and the little mute is estimated to have kept watch all night. Last time they went to the grassland, they would arrange people to take turns to keep vigil every night, Qin Liu was a woman, and she was not scheduled to be in the vigil shift.

The little mute grinned, "It's okay." ”

Qin Liu said: "You can sleep for a while, I'll keep watch." ”

The little mute closed his eyes and fell asleep. Wolves are usually nocturnal, but when the sky is almost dawn, it is safe.

Qin Liu listened to the little mute snoring slightly, and realized that he had stayed in a tent with the little mute for a night.

She rubbed her face a little embarrassed, got out of the tent and closed the tent door tightly, and walked around by herself.

The four horses were still honestly gnawing their own grass.

After being moistened by the rain, many wildflowers suddenly appeared on the grassland, including yellow, purple, pink, and blue.

Qin Liu wandered around with great interest, picking some wild flowers by the way.

She wanted to pick up some branches and go back to make a fire to cook some hot porridge, but the branches were wet from the rain, and the fire would be full of smoke, so she gave up.

The sun gradually rose, the temperature quickly rose, and the skin felt a little burning.

Qin Liu's heart moved, and he still picked up some dead branches and put them to dry in the sun.

To her surprise, she actually found some mushrooms in the grass, which were round and cute to look at.

In the middle of the day, Qin Liu used felt and branches to provide shade for himself, and opened the tent door again, saving the sleeping little mute from heat stroke.

She began to prepare her own lunch.

In the past few days, I have been on the road, eating dried meat and dry food, drinking a few mouthfuls of water filled in my skin bag when I am thirsty, and my life is miserable.

She found a small river to clean the mushrooms, and then took a pot with a subway on horseback and scooped the river water to prepare to boil water and cook.

Although Qin Liu's cooking skills are good, the lack of materials in the wilderness can only be adapted to local conditions.

She took some of the rice she had brought on horseback, washed it, and cooked rice porridge. The mushrooms are also cut into slices with a knife and thrown in one by one to boil.

Qin Liu patted his head, and he forgot to bring salt when he went out in a hurry.

But it didn't bother her. Among the dry food brought this time, the beef jerky was salty, so she tore the beef jerky into strands and cut them short and threw them into the porridge pot to boil together.

The aroma of mushroom beef porridge quickly spreads out.

The little mute didn't know whether he was awakened by incense or heat, and rubbed his sleepy eyes and walked out of the tent.

Qin Liu took a bowl of porridge and handed it to him: "You have a sharp nose, if you come out a little later, I will drink up such fragrant porridge!" ”

The little mute didn't bother to catch the porridge bowl, but gestured with his hand to a ball the size of a person's head and smiled: "Then you have to have such a big stomach first!" ”

Qin Liu laughed.

Realistically speaking, drinking hot porridge under the sun is a bit hot. The shade of the felt overhead was not strong enough to withstand the steaming of the moisture on the grass.

Fortunately, the occasional breeze comes to bring a burst of coolness.

After drinking the porridge, the little mute didn't go back to catch up on sleep, and pointed to a forest not far away: "Let's move our things over, rest there at night, and hurry again tomorrow morning." ”
