Chapter 77: Night Talk

At night, the entire Pingqiantun is considered to have completely entered the sea of jubilation.

Because of the large number of people, Pingqiantun could not squeeze into the open grassland outside, and a bright bonfire was raised with dried cow dung and dried sheep feces and urine.

Thanks to the flames and smoke that rose from the bonfire, but also with feces, the smell was not good, but it repellent mosquitoes.

Damn it, at seven or eight o'clock in the evening, these mosquitoes were everywhere, and Zhao Ming and the other brothers were directly bitten by a bag.

Fortunately, the bonfire is rising, and there are fewer mosquitoes.

At this point, everyone has put on thick jackets, and those who have been to Inner Mongolia know that the temperature difference between day and night here is not small.

If some people go out and get lost, and do not come back before dark, if there is no sheep as shelter, the probability of being bitten to death by a wolf is not high, but the probability of being frozen to death is extremely high.

Secondly, this special mother can really drink it!

There are only more than 80 people in the tunzi, and there is a lot of wine hidden, and these herdsmen are enthusiastic after they let go.

All kinds of wine was poured into the ground, and many brothers simply fell to the ground on their backs.

Zhao Ming was also being drunk, it was Old Man Sun and a young man named Heshan.

The two went into battle together, and Zhao Ming's five-pound weight almost didn't withstand it, but fortunately, Batu, as a guide, took action in time to help Zhao Ming block this catastrophe.

I also eat meat while drinking, and I thought that the beef here would be very tender, but it turned out to be chai! It's called a real chai!

Therefore, the herdsmen here are all eating with milk tea, and Zhao Ming is also doing the same, and after soaking a little loose, it is indeed very delicious.

However, those fat and thin ones are also exceptionally delicious just when baked, and they are not very tender, but they are also exceptionally delicious.

And what's even more amazing is that when you look up, you can see the sky cracking.

In fact, it is a starry sky, like the Milky Way showing in front of you, and it is called the crack in the sky among the local people, a very ancient name.

While drinking mare's milk wine, he admired the starry sky in the sky, which Zhao Ming could never have dreamed of in his previous life.

Sure enough, the more out of civilization, the clearer the starry sky becomes. Of course, this is also due to the fact that this is the grassland, and the grassland is the best place for stargazing.

"Chief Zhao, we're suffering here! ~”

After eating and drinking for an hour or two, this old man Sun has never talked about any sensitive topics, either complaining or talking about the humanistic characteristics here.

Zhao Ming is not in a hurry, this old man must have some ideas.

"Oh? I am from Guanzhong, and we are in Guanzhong where there is a drought now, and even the bark of the trees have to be eaten. Zhao Ming said with a smile.

"Alas, there is no definite number of disasters and famines in your place, and we have disasters here almost every year."

As he spoke, Old Man Sun began to sigh.

"It's like a locust plague, don't think that we also have locust plagues in the south and the Central Plains, once this locust plague comes out, this grass will definitely run out of calves.

In the coming year, the herd will have to reduce its production significantly, and the cattle and sheep will have nothing to eat, and we will have nothing to eat.

This is nothing, we have a large area of sand in the northwest and there, this is coming to the spring of next year, the wind blows, and the yellow sand is all over the sky.

The grass had to be covered with thick sand, and we had to prepare haystacks in advance, otherwise the sheep would not have enough to eat.

Clearing the sand is even more of a hassle.

And sir, look at the present, there are a lot of mosquitoes now, but in a while there will be more of them.

We're old and fierce mosquitoes here, and mosquitoes are the size of a grain of rice in other places, but we're the size of a palm here.

Not only is he big, but he also doesn't have a good temper, and anyone who can breathe is their target.

Moreover, these mosquitoes are very poisonous, and in this season, I advise the chief not to go to the water source area at night, otherwise he will definitely suffer a big loss. ”

Zhao Ming who said to Old Man Sun is deeply recognized, because at this time, if there is a flashlight shining outside. You can definitely see a lot of black things flying in the light.

I remember that there is a sentence in the wolf totem that describes it very vividly, the mosquito swarm that has sucked the blood of the wolf is more crazy and wild than the wolf pack, and they will pounce on any animal with blood flowing in their bodies, no matter who it is!

And just after being bitten by mosquitoes several times, this body is already itching unbearable.

Whoever has encountered it knows that the taste is not comparable to that of mosquitoes in other places.

Here mosquitoes you can even call it a black cloud!

The black cloud on top of the black cloud!

"Well, that's all, winter is the hardest, and in other places it may not start until November or February, and we have to get cold here in October.

And it will continue until April of the following year.

It's a terrible winter here, and it's windy, with the occasional blizzard.

In recent years, many people have froze to death in winter, and many cattle and sheep have froze to death, so you have to prepare in advance, sir. ”

Old man Sun's words are not only complaining, but also seem to be a metaphor for something.

It's the end of August, and soon it's September, and only January is the winter season in Inner Mongolia.

Zhao Ming smiled and said lightly, "Hehe, thank you for the reminder, I will definitely pay attention to this." ”

Saying that, Zhao Ming's words changed.

"Elder Sun, it seems that you didn't prepare very well before, wasn't the herd very large before? Alas, this winter is really harmful, do you say yes or no? ”

Saying this, Zhao Ming already smiled.

Looking at Zhao Ming's shallow smile, Sun Lao was stunned.

His eyes glazed over, and after a moment, he burst out laughing.

"Yes! Oh, yes! Chief Zhao, what you said is true, we really suffered an old crime in the past.

But what can we do? There is a heavy snowstorm every winter, and our little arms and legs can't stand it! ~”

In front of the bonfire, Zhao Ming's pupils seemed to reflect the jumping bonfire.

Yi pointed out, "Old Sun, I think you lack a mountain, if there is a mountain near your Pingqiantun, you will have a better winter life." ”

"Mountain? Where did the mountain come from? ”

Sun Lao Gu looked at him left and right, and said with a wry smile, "Chief Zhao said that he laughed, if we are asked to move the place in Pingqiantun, we can't move it."

And this mountain is not something that we can shelter us from the wind and rain if we want to move it.

What if the wind is coming against it?

What if there was a fork in the middle of the mountain? When the wind pours in, we will be in more trouble in Pingqiantun, and there will only be more people who are afraid of freezing to death this winter! ~"

Sun Lao shook his head and sighed as he spoke.

The two of them are like foxes for a thousand years, chatting about fasting here, and others only feel foggy when they hear it.

Just listening to Sun Lao's words, Zhao Ming's hand holding the wine cup tightened.

"Elder Sun, have you thought about it, it's not a way for you to go on like this.

Of course, Sun Lao, don't be in a hurry to refute, whether this mountain is good or not, whether it can block the wind or not is indeed necessary to test the water in advance.

But what if the mountain is reliable? How can Pingqiantun give back to this mountain? ”

The atmosphere was a little delicate, and there was still a lot of noise and joy around them, but Zhao Ming and Sun Yu in front of the bonfire looked calm and terrifying.

The two were silent for a long time, and finally Sun Lao laughed and waved his hand.

"Haha! Don't say it, don't say it, Sir Zhao, let's drink and drink! ”
