Chapter 126 Overnight in the grassland
As night approached, the sky closed its black curtains, and a cloud of red dominated the green grassland, and the bonfires began, and the herdsmen stood up and sang and danced around the bonfire, and drank and dined. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info night scenery is very beautiful, the stars in the sky are clustered with the moon to sing a song, to compare with the shepherd, the atmosphere is getting stronger, the old people are tired, sit on the ground, pull their grandson, talk about the story of their time, the children are listening, while gnawing on the meat and bones, young men and women are still enjoying the atmosphere of the party, the shepherd dog also got the fat meat, in the howling, the cattle and sheep are not to be outdone, but they can only bleat and moo eating grass, this should be regarded as a supper, the flame of the bonfire is rising, the wine and meat in the air are mixed with a faint green fragrance and hearty happiness.
That day, Topaz and the others looked at the rape flowers, the sand island, and the reed lake nestled in the crook of the sand island. Running on the green grass and fluffy grassland, running from one attraction to another, but there is no time to pay attention to the grass under your feet. A cluster of delicate crystal flowers flashed in front of Topaz's eyes, and Topaz's heart moved, but he didn't stop. Later, a Tibetan boy picked a handful of the same small flower and pinned it in his jacket pocket, and Topaz discovered that it had such a pure color and a soft and dignified posture. Busy paying attention to the scenery in the distance, but ignoring the beauty around them, as people often say, "there is no scenery in the near distance".
The topaz was still quiet in the beauty of the grassland, and the twilight was about to take it, and the lace of the quilt in the sky was stained with a little crimson, and the sun was about to go home, and the sheep were back in the sheepfold. At this time, the grassland was shrouded in golden silence, the distant mountains were clothed in the colorful clothes of the sunset, the clouds as white as cow's milk in the sky also became as bright red as flames, the grass waves subsided, and the cattle and sheep came from the distant grasslands; only the camels that did not return at night were still wandering by the lake near the willow forest, and the whole prairie looked peaceful. In the evening, the whole grassland was completely changed, the thick fog rose from all directions, the grassland slowly turned dark green, every little flower, every little grass exuded a fragrance, the grassland was steamed in a fragrant breath, the moon cast a silver net to cover everything, and the grassland added a mysterious color.
As it got dark, Topaz and the others came to a Mongol house, and the Mongols lived in yurts. Hospitable Mongolians treat them with many hearty meals such as cheese, milk, lamb, etc. In their eyes, everyone who passes by the tent is a guest, and they will warmly invite guests into the tent. When they first entered the tent, the host brought out a bowl of "zhima" to Huang Yu and each of them, which is a kind of milk tea with a little ghee, fried noodles and qula. The drinker is going to lick and drink while turning the bowl. Topaz They don't know how to drink hemp, and their faces are all over it, and the master laughs so much that tears come out of his eyes. Topaz and the others simply didn't drink it, and they laughed loudly with the masters. After having more contact with the Tibetans, Huang Yu knows that they are a very simple and honest people, and if you make friends with them, even if there is the last sheep left in the family, he will kill you to eat. They are still a very optimistic and bold people, and their hearts are as simple and clean as the white clouds in the sky. They laugh all the time, they laugh when they ride horses, they laugh when they wrestle, they laugh when they jump the pot. They are laughing when they are grazing, when they carry dung, when they are milking, and when they talk. After only a short encounter with them, Topaz was infected with the most joyful laughter that came out of their hearts.
Topaz walked outside the tent to take a look, but it was already completely dark, and the grassland was shrouded in a hazy night, and he couldn't see anything clearly. The dark blue canopy shimmered with countless small stars, like a handful of broken gold scattered on the Tianhe Realm, and they emitted a crystal bright and mysterious light, turning the sky into a soft satin with yellow flowers on a blue background. Only a few steamed bun flowers swayed in the breeze not far away. The color of the steamed bun flower is unusually gorgeous, its flowers are white, snow blue and pink purple color, and it blooms enchantingly on the grassland. However, its beautiful flowers are highly poisonous, and its scientific name is "wolf venom". Wolf venom is actually a regulator of the grassland. Whenever the grassland is rich in water and grass and the pasture is vigorous, you can't see the shadow of wolf poison. Only when the pastures are degraded will the wolf poison flowers bloom in clumps. If an animal eats it, it will die within a day. Therefore, there is a Tibetan proverb that "eat wolf poison today, and eat horse meat tomorrow"; Camels see wolf poison, Tang monks see white bones", the shepherd had to drive the cattle and sheep to transfer the pasture, so that the pasture where the wolf poison flower appeared got a chance to recuperate. It is in this peculiar way that the grasslands protect themselves.
Topaz walked into the tent, where the feast was at its highest, and the drunken people were talking, laughing, dancing, and singing "Rai." On the table, there are all kinds of grassland foods: blood sausage, noodle sausage, lamb belly rolls, liver slices, milk skin, qula, tsampa, yogurt...... The lamb is placed in the center of the table on a large wooden plate, with a Tibetan knife inserted into it. Topaz took a bowl of barley wine, took a sip, a spicy heat poured down from his throat, and then extended from his stomach, and after a while, he felt that his whole body was hot, and his cheeks were especially bad, and he was burned into two red cloths. Topaz sat at the table, brandishing a Tibetan knife and eating the dazzling array of grassland food on the table. Cut off a piece of meat, the meat is bubbling blood, but there is a peculiar fragrance in the mouth, cut off a piece of liver, the liver is also bubbling with blood, put it in the mouth is also crispy and tender, delicious indescribable. Cut the lamb belly rolls and cut the sausages, each with a unique flavor. However, when Topaz cut off a section of blood sausage, bright red sheep blood flowed out of it, and the blood sausage deflated at once. The Tibetan boy at the table told Huang Yu that the blood sausage should not be cut and eaten, but that he should grab one end of the intestine and suck it with his mouth. The people at the table began to toast. After a dozen glasses of wine, everything in front of Topaz turned, the tent was turning, the people were turning, and the hand-held mutton and Tibetan knife on the table were also turning.
