Chapter 12 Hurry
Except for the three prefectures of Shuzhou Prefecture, all of them are nomadic forms.
The people here, who move with the seasons, have a fixed route, and do not come into conflict with other tribes. At the end of each season, many tribes rise up from the ground and follow their established routes to the next region.
Xu Yunshen and the others also just caught up with the migrating army.
That is, Xu Yunshen will call these places where people live tents, and the locals call them "felt bags".
The felt bag is composed of three parts: wood, felt, and rope, and there are many details.
"Hey-" The owner of the felt bag had already returned and began to dismantle the "guest room" that Xu Yunshen had not had time to check in.
He smiled embarrassedly at Xu Yunshen, his blushing face turned even redder, as if he was very sorry for his actions.
At the same time, there are also several strong men to help move out the contents inside, and when the finishing is completed, there will be a horse-drawn open-air wooden cart to load it and move with the people's walking.
They looked struggling to disassemble them, but their hands were not slow at all. It seems that I have soaked this activity into my bones and deeply memorized the steps and points in it.
Xu Yun squatted and watched for a long time, but he didn't find a gap to help.
Although he was a little discouraged that he couldn't help, he sighed more that life was not easy: he hadn't lived in an extremely warm tent yet, and he would dismantle it today and have to be transported away.
He took a bite of the roast leg of lamb that Nakai had handed him, the lamb exposing its steaming muscle fibers in the sunlight.
"Hey, Nai Kai, how long will this take?" Xu Yunshen looked at Nai Kai, who was standing on the side, also eating mutton.
Nai Kai stood there and seemed to maintain the duty of an attendant, and the action of eating was very small. Xu Yunshen could only see that he kept nodding in front of the mutton, and his other hand was still under it. From time to time, mutton would escape justice and be stuffed back into its rightful place. Hearing Xu Yunshen's question, he swallowed the mouthful in his mouth and replied respectfully:
"Dear guests, this won't take long. They were young and powerful young men, and the job was easier for them than killing a suckling sheep that they couldn't resist. ”
A young man who jumped on the felt bag and was busy looking up when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Naikai, you bastard! Although you have nothing to do all day, your mouth is sweeter than the yogurt made by samba!"
To be honest, it took Xu Yunshen several thoughts to get used to their style of speaking.
The young man was dressed in a woollen jacket, and the variegated wool was exposed, which set off his complexion in a particularly black light. When he finished speaking, he lowered his head and continued to work, cherishing his time very much.
"Naikai, how did he say that you have nothing to do? Also, who is Samba?" Xu Yunshen ate half of the leg of mutton. He tried to rest his mouth, his tongue fiddled in his mouth for a while, then let go of the restrictions of his lips and spoke.
Nai Kai's face did not change color:
"Back to the distinguished guests. The steppe is different from the south, and the tribe only admires powerful young men. There is also a decent job that can be much enviable, for example, helping the tribe kill livestock. A man like me, who is middle-aged and still engaged in the ministry work, is the least looked down upon. Another girl said, 'Nakai is really more girly than a girl, if I were a man, I would definitely marry him.' ”
"As for Samba, she is the most beautiful woman in the tribe. She has a power that many men don't have, thick lips, and a high nose. To be honest, every young man who enters the spring period will have something happen to Samba in his dreams. ”
Xu Yunshen touched his head, the customs and concepts on this grassland are really different from those in the south, obviously this is only a hundred miles away from Shuzhou Mansion, but it is like two worlds.
"Slaughtering livestock, why is this more decent than your job?" Xu Yunshen said curiously.
Nai Kai yearned: "On the grassland, death is an eternal sacred proposition. To die is to throw yourself into the arms of the Immortal Heaven. Slaughtering livestock not only requires the collision of strength and skill, but more importantly, it will face death, which is to face immortality. ”
If you want to face it, you will join the army, and there is an opportunity. Xu Yun scolded deeply.
But it's impossible to say it, after all, it's people's beliefs.
The barbarians believed in the great sage of the sun and the moon, so the steppe people believed in immortality, and the Tang people further south believed in the way of heaven.
In Xu Yunshen's view, they have different paths to the same end, and in the end they point to the same kind of existence-Heavenly Dao.
In the past, he also believed that the Sun and Moon Great Sage and the Heavenly Dao were not the same, or even opposite. It wasn't until Yuzhongge flew into the sky that Luo Yibai's statement made him know the concept of the world and the void.
It's like he and Kunpeng had a fight, and then the traces left behind were cleaned up by Tiandao. Unless there is a major imbalance in the course of the world, or a large area of damage, the Heavenly Dao will only ignore it like a dead thing.
No wonder why Xu Yunshen has a feeling of being watched after the fight. made his journey to Congrong in the north always restless and suspicious.
Half an hour later, the felt bag was almost cleaned up, leaving a prototype "floor" of grass and mud in its place.
The felt bags in the rest of the world were also packed at about the same time, and as far as the eye could see, there were standing people and wooden carts full of goods.
There are also circular marks on the ground.
"We'll not be back here until late next fall. At that time, the sheeppans on the ground will gradually be covered with new grass. Nakai explained on the side.
Xu Yunshen put the leftover bones into a wooden basin on the side, which were all bones with shredded meat, which were collected and fed to the shepherd dogs. He caught a concept and asked, "The sheep plate, these round things on the ground?"
"More than that. Sheep trays are actually the result of the long-term accumulation of sheep dung, which can also be found elsewhere. And building a felt bag on top of it will be much warmer. Like this piece under our feet, it has been many years. In the coming year, another layer of sheep dung will be stored, and then a layer of mud will be covered. In this way, you can build a reliable, warm felt bag. "Nai Kai came one by one, obviously more than once.
Sheep manure ......
Duan Qiushui's facial expression was a little subtle: no wonder he had been smelling the smell last night, and he couldn't find the source.
It turns out that the whole felt bag is smoked into this "fragrant" atmosphere?
Xu Yunshen gloated at the two of them, and the meaning in his eyes was self-evident.
Duan Qiushui rolled his eyes, carrying a big black bag and holding Huahua, and followed the wooden cart that had already begun to walk in front.
Xu Yunshen had to follow, and Nai Kai also followed him.
"Naikai, at this speed, how long will it take to reach the next gathering place?"
"Back to the guests, about a month. That is, in early spring, when the grass is fertile. There is a large lake of great beauty, like a shining mirror. ”
Xu Yunshen frowned: "We have important matters, it seems that we can't move forward with you." Flowey, come here. ”
After he put Huahua on his back, he glanced at Naikai, smiled, and took out ten taels of silver from his pocket and gave it to him.
"I guess you can work for so many years, and you must have to pay a lot of tips to survive in the eyes of the clansmen. In this case, I will also write you a reward as usual, after all, your service attitude is really difficult. ”
Nai Kai sighed deeply at the generosity of this guest, and his expression became more and more respectful: "Your wisdom can illuminate the entire grassland." ”
Xu Yunshen smiled and touched ...... Huahua, she was resting her head on Xu Yunshen's head, like a searchlight, sweeping everything around her.
Forgetting that Huahua was on his back, Xu Yunshen smiled: You can't stay here for a long time, otherwise you will be praised to the sky sooner or later.
"Let's go, Qiushui, let's go on our way. ”
"Hmm. ”
They walked sideways out of the large army of the tribe and ran in the same direction.
