Xiao An's eyes were full of longing: "Heijin, I want to ride a horse with Brother Abu, and I can also make the spicy rabbit head that Brother Ashi likes to eat."
The second sister never comes back after going to the grassland. It must be very interesting there.
Seeing that Xiao An didn't read the letter, Heijin was anxious, grabbed the letter paper and pretended to be reading the letter too.
Xiao An jumped off the kang, ran out of the house and knocked on Aunt Yun's door.
Aunt Yun was making shirts for the two brothers. When she heard Xiao An knocking on the door, she hurriedly came out and said, "Xiao An, what's the matter?"
Xiao An showed a smile: "Aunt Yun, I want to make some diced rabbit meat for my second sister!"
The weather was dry and things were dry, so Mrs. Yun kept a tight control on the kitchen and did not let Xiao An open the fire at will.
Aunt Yun knew that Song Liyun had entered the grassland. After Song Liyun left, she thought every day that if her little stone could meet a girl, she would definitely bring it back.
Seeing Xiao An calling the door excitedly at this time, she opened her mouth and asked: "Is the girl coming back?"
Xiao An shook his head: "Second sister is going to the farthest point of the grassland. I want to make some delicious food for her so that I can find someone to take it to me in the future!"
When Madam Yun heard that Song Liyun had not come back, she was not disappointed, but instead ignited even greater expectations: "The farthest grassland... It's snowy now... Xiao An, we are going to cook, but we don't know about those noodle cakes made by Miss Qian'er."
How long will the stew last?”
A month ago, Song Liyun asked Madam Yun to bake pancakes, steam steamed buns and steamed buns, weighing several hundred kilograms, as well as stew meat, cook vegetables and grilled skewers. Xiao An would cook a large pot every day.
Lady Yun didn't know where these things had gone, but when she heard Song Liyun driving to the grassland, she had some reaction.
These are dry foods that can be taken on the road in winter.
The soup cakes and meat dishes that Mrs. Yun made a month ago are now being put to great use.
Now that they don't have to worry about supplies, Lin Qingyuan and Song Liyun discussed whether the next road should directly bypass the pasture where tribes gathered and cross the no-man's land.
"Manager Song, we can save three days by walking this way. The biggest danger is the wolves, which is the same as what we encountered in the past two days."
Song Liyun called Bahrain over and asked what risks there were in rushing like this.
When Balin heard that he was about to cross the no-man's land, he waved his hands repeatedly: "Miss Song, the no-man's land is not because there are no tribes to go to, but because there are many rocks, no water, no grass and many wolves. If we go there, we will encounter wolves."
When Song Liyun heard that it was still a pack of wolves, he immediately knew that the only direct threat to humans on the grassland was wolves.
The main reason is that the sheep attracted me here. I and others are fast horses, and horses are not afraid of being surrounded by wolves.
Along the way, the team would encounter wild wolves every day. Those wolves would only follow them from a distance and never come close.
After all, neither humans nor horses are the first choice in its diet.
The result of several people's discussion was to cross no man's land, and they couldn't afford to wait.
The reason why this place is called no man's land is because, as Bahrain said, there are always some places on the grassland that are dry and deserted, with no grass growing. The herdsmen feel that this is a cursed place, and they will go far away even if they move their tents.
What Song Liyun saw was the desolate Gobi Desert. When he got here, the road was close, but the wooden wheels of the carriage were grinding against the rocks, but it couldn't run fast.
Even the horses leading the others slowed down.
Lin Qingyuan was riding on a horse, holding a teapot and drinking happily. He had not enjoyed such luxury for three months.
Everyone else was also munching on dried meat and noodles. Everyone also had a bag of water, so there was no need to worry about running out of dry food.
"Manager Song, how many things are you packing? You can drink such precious tea as you like."
Lin Qingyuan put down the teapot and looked at Song Dekui next to him who was chewing the rabbit head with relish. He couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
He was curious about how many things Song Liyun put in his carriage the next day, and even wanted to get in the carriage and look through the tightly covered cardboard boxes.
He saw that whenever the team needed something along the way, Song Dekui would go inside to get it.
Food, supplies, grain and kettles, sheepskin mattresses, woolen felts, hammers for knocking wood piles, ropes for fixing the wooden houses, those few cardboard boxes are like a grocery store, everything is available.
Song Liyun didn't reply. Song Dekui, who was driving the car next to him, gave him a blank look: "It's all you need, why do you care so much? If you have such spirit, you might as well see if you can find a smoother road."
It had been more than half a day since they entered the Gobi Desert. At first it was gravel and fine sand, but the further they walked, the more rocks they encountered, making it more difficult to walk.
Fortunately, the old horse became a spirit and ran far away to find the road and led the carriage through.
Lin Qingyuan sighed: "How to find the way? We are already walking around the innermost part. You, a country worker, do you know why it is called no man's land and why it is a cursed place?
Isn't it just because the road is difficult? It's still winter, there is snow on the ground that can turn into water, and it's not too hot.
If it's summer, when the sun shines and it's roasted and steamed, it's a killing zone."
Song Dekui snorted: "In the end, it's still your fault."
Lin Qingyuan was so angry that his eyebrows flew up, and his face that was already chapped by the cold wind was full of anger: "What's my fault? Isn't it because you are riding in a carriage? Is it such a troublesome thing to ride a horse?"
Song Dekui didn't want to talk to him: "Without a carriage, you can only drink the wind! Do you understand drinking the wind, but you have a big mouth, you can drink enough as long as you open it."
Lin Qingyuan was most proud of his handsome appearance, but now his face was blown away by the snowy wind. Walking next to Song Liyun, she didn't even look at him.
It makes him feel aggrieved to think that such a handsome young man has fallen into this situation.
Now when Song Dekui said that he was big-mouthed, how could Lin Qingyuan endure it? He immediately retorted: "You have to ride in a carriage, otherwise your body, which is like a straw pole, will be broken if a horse bumps it!"
Song Dekui's heart hurt because he was thin, and he suddenly became furious.
The two of them, one in the car and the other on the horse, kept arguing and began to bite each other with the long knives in their hands.
Seeing this scene, the others silently drove their horses aside and pretended not to see it.
The two of them had been inseparable ever since they met and had a fight, and they would definitely take action after three sentences.
At first, everyone had to come up to try to persuade him, and even Lin Qingyuan's guards and several people from Bahrain who were attached to the guard station almost got into a fight over this.
After spending more time together, everyone realized that it was just a matter of boredom on the road, and the two of them were having a little fight. They were both adults and they couldn't really do anything.
Song Liyun, who covered her ears when she heard the two arguing, also felt a little regretful.
If she and Song Dekui were alone, she would put the carriage into the space and ride straight over.
At this time, she was thinking about how to avoid the public eye, or what the consequences would be if someone discovered her space.
She didn't dare to risk exposing such a weird thing to others.
At the end of the day, the carriage almost fell apart. Just as the sun was setting, Song Liyun called for everyone to camp and rest.
It was already the fourth time to set up camp. No one needed any guidance anymore. Song Liyun only needed to untie the oilcloth and pull out the wooden wall from under the cloth.
