Second Sister Nongmen has space

Chapter 302

The old man Hongshi saw his wool felt being sprinkled with salt, and his heart ached to death.

I feel sorry for the salt that is so precious in the grassland, and also feel sorry for my own wool felt.

He stared at Song Dekui angrily, and shouted, "You grew up eating grass? You can't even hold a bag of salt!"

Song Dekui tilted his body, stepped on the salt with shaking legs, turned the white salt into black, and then stepped into the gap of the floor mat, without even putting it away.

He still reached out his hand to touch the inside of the cardboard box, and said meanly: "Oh, I've made the headman's wool felt dirty, so I'll help you throw away this mat, and I'll pay for how much."

The red stone man's eyes turned red immediately: this is salt!Such waste will be punished by the gods.

What's even worse is that this thin man who looks like wormwood took out another bag of salt...

"Stop! I believe you are a caravan!"

The red stone man finally couldn't bear to admit it.

The salt on the grassland is precious.

If these two people only sold salt, the stock in that small box would be enough to exchange dozens of sheepskins.

In addition to exchanging tea and salt for leather goods with the Red Stone Department, Song Liyun also wanted their map from here to Mida Valley.

Hongshitou snorted angrily: "There is no picture. The road we Di people have traveled has been passed down from generation to generation, and it is all in our minds, so we won't say it easily."

Song Liyun didn't believe his words, as long as there were enough interests, anything could be exchanged.

She spoke slowly: "Five packs of salt..."

"No, this is the wealth of the Redstone tribe..." The shriveled old man shook his head like a rattle.

"Six packs of salt!"

"no……"

"Ten packets of salt!"

"I can't tell you guys!"

"Ten packets of salt...one packet of sugar!"

"That road is not easy to walk...you have to add another bag of tea!"

"Okay! You have to draw a picture!" Song Liyun took out a charcoal pencil and paper.

"No! No! I've never touched a pen! I can only tell you how to get there once."

Song Liyun: "...!"

Tell a person who has never been in the grassland about the distance of nearly a thousand miles: how many ditches, rivers and hills should be walked in the middle, is this appropriate?

Obviously word of mouth alone won't do.

According to the red stone man himself, he walked from the Mida River Valley to the Hungry Wolf Beach along the gravel Gobi.

I can follow the traces washed out by the summer torrents to the Mida River Valley.

There is the end point of the hundreds of miles of rivers that converge around it. If you follow the small river, you will arrive sooner or later.

It's just that the Redstone tribe walked for half a month on the road, and there were too many variables in this distance, so she had to be cautious.

Song Liyun estimated that the average distance is [-] kilometers per day, and at least three to four hundred kilometers in half a month.

And the Redstone tribe is still on their way, walking faster and the distance will be longer.

Such a long distance, in the deserted wilderness, except for wandering wild sheep and bison, wolves, and bandits.

In addition, what is more terrifying than beasts and humans on the grassland is getting lost.

Blizzards could fall any minute now.

There are no road signs on the grassland, and if you are not familiar with the terrain, the representative things on the surface will be covered under the snow. If you get lost, you will basically wait for death.

Song Liyun has experience in dealing with animals, she is not worried about wolves, and she is confident that she can avoid bandits, she is only afraid of getting lost.

After some haggling, Song Liyun finally exchanged ten packs, that is, two catties of salt, one catty of sugar, and half a catty of tea, from the illiterate red stone man for ten sheepskins and a guide.

Leaving the Red Stone Tribe, Song Dekui rode on a horse wrapped in a sheepskin robe, looked at the old horse walking slowly in front of him with disgust, and complained: "That damned old fox, such an old horse that is about to die, wants to Spend a catty of salt"

Song Liyun also had some regrets, she didn't feel sorry for the salt and sugar, she only regretted having this old horse.

It is useful to use a horse to lead the way, but I should have a young and healthy horse.

The old horse is really too old, with skinny bones and knotted hair. One leg was bitten by a wolf on the way here. Now it is still limping when walking, and basically has lost its practical value.

With this half-life appearance, they are worried that they will die suddenly while walking on the road.

According to the rules of the Di tribe, they don't kill the old horse that has been with them for decades, and let it follow the tribe to wait for the last day of life.

As a result... now it is still replaced by the owner.

At this time, the old horse, whose original coat color could no longer be seen, lowered its head and walked slowly ahead, indifferent to the fact that it had changed masters.

After walking for more than an hour, the Redstone tribe was no longer visible. At this time, a circle of dark clouds hangs in the sky, connecting the sky and the earth.

Song Dekui leaned over on his horse, looked at the sky and said, "Xiaoyun, we have to find a place to camp now, and I'm afraid there will be wind and snow when it gets dark."

According to the usual situation, the snow has already fallen, but there are only sporadic snowflakes flying over Broken Gold Town.

I stayed at Jiang's house last night, and I heard that there was less snow on the grassland than in previous years, and the temperature during the day was obviously higher.

Although there is no heavy snow, the cattle and sheep will have grass to eat, and the fodder prepared by each household can be saved, but it also indicates that there will be a drought in the coming year, unless there are several consecutive heavy snowfalls in winter to make up for the shortfall.

Song Liyun also felt the need to set up camp earlier.

She is still very new to the prairie.

Although he has the experience of survival in the wilderness of the last days, he can't compete with the winter snow in the night.

When the two of them were discussing where to camp, the old horse in front stopped leaving.

Not knowing what happened, I just stood there dumbfounded.

A gust of wind blew by, and the skinny body seemed to be blown down.

Seeing this dying look, Song Dekui frowned, his thin face was stretched longer than the old horse's face, muttering and cursing: The old fox is lying, he is about to die when he looks at it, how can he say he can get to the maze? up the valley.

The old horse wobbled for a while, went straight to the place with the most stones, wandered around twice, knelt down and then fell down.

"It's over, I was deceived by that old thing, this horse has only been walking for two hours, and it is about to die!"

Song Dekui yelled, jumped off his horse and ran away.

Song Liyun was also startled, and immediately got off the horse, took Ju Qing and the bay red horse and went over.

Song Dekui ran up to the old horse, first touched the old horse's neck, then looked into its eyes, and lay down on the old horse's shoulders to listen to the heartbeat. Said: "The old horse is fine, it's just tired! It doesn't want to leave, so we won't leave either, we'll just tie up the yurt here."

He still had some sympathy for the old horse, so he easily untied the old horse's reins to make it easier.

After finishing the work, he complained: "Hey! If we all walk like this for an hour or two every day in the future, we will have to rest, and we won't be able to walk very far in the New Year."

"Let's rest today! Let's talk about the future!"

Song Liyun was not in a hurry, it was good to walk slowly, he could remember the direction, if he closed his eyes and ran around on the grassland, he would definitely not be able to find his way back.

She heard from the red stone man that there were many tribes who ran out on the grassland near the Wu Dynasty.

If the old horse can't go far, he can find the tribe nearby and inquire about it.
