Chapter 24: Night in Horqin Prairie
"Just in the Dong family? In this life?" Wushuang suddenly felt that it seemed that it was not good to say this, so he quickly changed his words: "I didn't mean that, the Dong family will always be your home. l520 popular I mean... Now you don't have to guard grandpa, no longer have to guard the mountains. I want to send you to study abroad, so I asked Uncle Mazi to inquire. At that time, the doctor of studying in the United States will be glorious to the ancestors."
Wushuang thought about the choice between Ma Ya and Lan Caidie for a long time. Brother-sister love is different from love. He knows how kind Ma Ya treats him. Thanksgiving is gratitude, but love is not as simple as repaying debts. Doing so is not fair to Lan Caidie and Ma Ya. If you want to make a decision, she still hopes that Lan Caidie will accompany her, but what about Ma Ya? The Ma family has given everything to steal the door, and he must repay her. Send her to the United States, one can avoid it, and the other is to give her a better way out.
"Okay, you have been very lying since childhood. Others can't see it, but I can't see it yet? Don't be too careful. I understand the matter between you and Sister Caidie. If I don't go to the United States, I won't go anywhere. I will be by your side. If you think I'm a burden, I will stay at home to serve the old lady." Ma Ya tried to keep a smile on her face when she said this, but tears kept spinning in her eyes, and she held back and didn't fall.
"I...I...I...No...No...I'm definitely not what you think."
"My master, the phone call, Bartel called." Old Chen shouted in the living room at this time.
I am really afraid of anything. Wushuang is actually hesitating whether to do this business now, but how can the water splashed out of the words you say can be a joke?
On the phone, Batel said that they had arrived at the Korqin prairie and found the town he mentioned at the border between China and Mongolia. The fellow villager who sold blood-red amber also found it. The fellow villager took Batel to the woodland where he found the amber. The place was called Eji Lake, and many old trees grew by the lake. All the unearthed treasures were found near Eji Lake.
He led his men to search again, and found that there were many corpse pits at the deepest part of the forest, with corpses everywhere inside, and no less than a thousand people died. In the process, four of the horse gang brothers lost, and they were not alive or dead, and they had not returned for three days.
Wushuang said, "You wait, I'll set out soon, and you'll arrive tomorrow. Don't go into that forest again."
The situation is moving in his unpredictable direction. It is too late to stop now. Before he can make money, he lost four brothers first.
"Yeah, are you willing to accompany me?"
Ma Ya didn't say anything, just nodded. The mission she left behind was to stay with Wushuang forever.
Wushuang asked Lan Caidie to watch Xier at home. If her condition improves, she will be sent back to Miaojiang immediately. This girl must not stay by her side. Lan Caidie was so smart that she saw the changes that Wushuang had made to her in the past few days. But because Ma Ya just died, her grandfather was depressed and had to remain silent. However, she repeatedly told her that if she encountered any trouble, she must call her and pay attention to her safety.
In the morning, Wushuang took Ma Ya and set off. The old people in the Dong family did not ask him where he was going. The young master is now hard and his experiences from several adventures proved that he could make money without these old men's escort.
The train carried two young people into the vast Korqin prairie in the evening. In front of us, there was endless greenness. The cattle and sheep on the peaceful Korqin prairie enjoyed the delicious food of grass buds that had just grown. If it weren't for the urgent matter, Wushuang would like to stay here for a few more days.
In the evening, the train arrived at the end of Holingol City. From here, four hundred miles further north is Hubaolag Town on the Sino-Mongolia border. But there are no roads, no trains, only endless grasslands.
Bartel was thoughtful and left two fast horses for Wushuang, but no matter how they ran tonight, they would definitely not be able to get there.
At around 8 o'clock in the evening, the two of them were Hulagehundi Ranch. Walking further forward, there was a vast ranch without people. They were too tired. They ordered money to the fellow villager and rented a yurt to live there temporarily.
Mongolian fellow villagers are very hospitable. Whether friends come to you, they will warm horse milk wine and cheese.
The owner is an old couple. The old couple has lived in the ranch for more than 60 years and has been grazing here since his grandfather's generation. After liberation, the country contracted the ranch to them.
The fellow villagers told them that everything is good here, but they should not go out at night. The east side of the ranch was not blessed by the heaven of immortality, and there were haunted at night. During the Cultural Revolution, many educated youth came to the ranch to work, but did not listen to his father's advice and insisted on defeating all monsters and monsters, saying that there were reactionaries hidden in the east side of the ranch.
As a result, they went to Dongtoushan with guns borrowed from the militia at night, and never came back since then.
"What's the place to the east of the ranch?" Wushuang asked him.
"I heard from my grandfather that before the liberation, the Japanese devils dug iron ore in that mountain and caught a lot of workers. Later, I didn't know where the workers had gone, and none of them came back. The mountain was called Buge Mountain." In Mongolian, Buge means a devil.
There are many wild jokes in the countryside, and Wushuang and Ma Ya didn't take them seriously. It was normal for these things to happen in that turbulent era. In fact, it was very likely that the group of educated youth ran home by searching mountains. Who would have wanted to work in this place where birds do not shit? If you run home, you will die without evidence. After the Cultural Revolution, you don't know how many illegal households will appear in the city.
Wushuang has always trusted the Mongolians very much. The Mongolians are hardworking, down-to-earth, kind and simple. They fell asleep in a deep yurt.
At night, he had a dream, dreaming that he was standing in front of a stage. The stage was in the style of the Republic of China. On the stage, a troupe was performing gongs and drums. He had no research on opera and could not hear what kind of scene he was playing today. There were many people in the audience who came to watch the fun like him. These people were dressed in strange clothes, some had patches on their clothes, some were wearing military uniforms from the Republic of China, and some were wearing popular green military uniforms after the liberation.
These people looked at the performance of the troupe with their heads raised and were fascinated. No matter whether the singing was good or not, they did not applaud, or scold. Just watching quietly, the atmosphere seemed particularly strange.
