Jinyi Night Walk

Under the sky, there is a vast expanse of blue, undulating hills, meandering rivers, and a few clumps of small trees, which make the grassland not seem empty. The sheep go up the hill for a while, and walk to the river for a while, like a bunch of dandelions The seeds rise and fall with the breeze.

The ups and downs of the hills here are not abrupt, and the extremely soft lines are like a plump and round woman's body, undulating and extending far away.

Among the green grass and wild flowers, there are a few small felt tents scattered. This is a place where the shepherds go out to graze and temporarily set up for rest.In the distance, a vigorous herdsman is riding a soaring horse, waving a harness pole in his hand, showing a bold and sturdy spirit.

Li Temuer rode on a strong bay red horse. This horse has a large nose, a broad chest, and huge hooves under its powerful long legs. This kind of horse runs the fastest and has long endurance. If you let it Withdrew its four hooves and galloped indulgently, the horse's belly almost touching the tip of the grass.

She ran up to a group of horses on a bay red horse, turned over and jumped off. The bay red horse immediately stuck out its tongue affectionately, licked the back of her palm, stroked the horse's mane, threw the rein on the saddle, and quickly As she walked forward, the bay red horse followed her docilely.

"Ruan Xiaojiu, come down!"

A shepherd turned over and jumped off his horse, ran up to her, and said politely, "Girl!"

This Ruan Xiaojiu is a Han. Now more and more members of the Temuer tribe are engaged in business, farming, labor, and transportation. The benefits obtained in these areas have far surpassed horse herding, so that all the young and Zhuang people have gone to engage in more promising jobs. Professionals, the current cattle, sheep and horses in the clan do not have enough manpower to graze them.

And Ruan Xiaojiu is a Han from Kaiyuan City. He was originally a part-time laborer, but now he is hired by the Temuer tribe to graze their horses.This is a kind of fusion in the transitional stage. The shepherds themselves go to other industries, and the number of people in charge of herding in the clan is getting smaller and smaller. The existing cattle, sheep and horses cannot be reduced suddenly, so they hire some propertyless people instead. The Han people helped them graze.

However, these Han people are not qualified shepherds in terms of riding skills or herding knowledge. As the daughter of the patriarch, Li Temuer had no choice but to teach them the knowledge of herding.

"Ji Xiaojiu, how many horses do you let go?"

"Four gangs!"

Ruan Xiaojiu chuckled: "Here, girl, look, this group has 39 horses, that group has 28 horses, the group on the front slope has [-] horses, and the group on the far river has [-] horses. match."

He smiled and praised, "It's not bad. I can watch four gangs of horses by myself in only twenty days. That's great."

She took a few steps forward, looked at the four groups of horses, and said, "Did you see that the group by the river has only one horse (stallion)? Although this group of horses is the least, you must be very careful." Notice.

If there are two or three horses in a gang, you don't have to worry about it. They will take care of the whole group around the periphery and keep them from running around.

But there is only one horse in this group, it is not looking at the group of horses, but leading the group of horses. If you are not careful, it withdraws, and it may not necessarily lead its group of horses to where . "

, "Oh, that's it. I still think that the group of horses is the least, so I don't need to worry too much, so I take special care of the group with the largest number. Thank you for your advice, girl, I understand!"

Ruan Xiaojiu nodded with a grin, her eyes secretly looked at the girl's small red water chestnut mouth from the side, which moved seductively.

In the distance, a shepherd who was in charge of looking after the other horses shook his head and laughed: "1 Bu Jiu, this little

The son, deliberately looking for a way, hooked up with others, and the girl talked. "

The shepherd is also Han Chinese, named Zheng Si'an.Since a herdsman family began to hire Han people living in Kaiyuan to graze for him, many herdsmen who suffered from the lack of spare men in their families followed suit and hired many Han people to help.

These Han people were all ordinary prisoners who were exiled in Liaodong for various crimes.The temperament and character of these criminals who were exiled for various crimes are naturally not noble, but when they meet a nomadic tribe with a tough personality and like to be brave and ruthless, they would not dare to cheat and play tricks in doing things, let alone Don't dare to be bullied by evil guests.

But we look at the grazing very poetic, but dealing with animals all day long is actually very boring. It’s rare that such a handsome girl came here to instruct them on grazing, so they naturally have to think about it Start a conversation with people and talk a little more.Regarding the rules of the first horse, Old Zheng had already told Ruan Xiaojiu, how could he not understand, and deliberately made some mistakes, just trying to get the older girl to talk to him.

"Duh, duh, go!" Seeing a stallion from someone else's gang approaching his group of horses, Zheng Si'an immediately swung his whip to drive it away.

There are many rules for raising horses, such as grazing, drinking water, feeding salt, and Erma does not allow any male horses from other gangs to approach his caravan. If any of the mares in the caravan goes to someone else's caravan, it will be difficult for it to return to the team, because the mares will never forgive such a treacherous mare, and if it comes back, the mares will drive it away .

What's more, when the little horse grows up, it will compete with the old horse for territory. The shepherd has to watch, and when one side loses, he has to take it away. Among the horses, there is no peace.There are so many rules, so the Wrangler seems to be leisurely, but there are actually many things to deal with every day.

She was a careless girl who didn't notice that Ruan Xiaojiu's eyes were lingering on her swollen chest. She explained it seriously, and when she turned her head to catch Ruan Xiaojiu's lewd eyes, she realized that he had ulterior motives. Can't help being angry and funny, You raised his whip and shouted: "Are you looking for a whip?"

Seeing her raising the whip, Ruan Xiaojiu shrank her neck immediately, and hurriedly said, "No way, no way, I really don't understand, hehe, thank you for your pointers!"

With a snort, he withdrew his whip.Either really whip it or don’t whip it. There are many ways of saying the whip in the prairie people. If you whip him lightly, it is not punishment. How can you let the whip fall on his shoulder if you go to the man you love and show your love? She walked away angrily, and without stepping on the stirrups, she stretched out her hand to press the horse's back, jumped up, bent and swayed, and stood on the horse's back brightly, with a whistle, and then The bay red horse ran away.

Ruan Xiaojiu moved her shoulders, and smiled slyly again.Of course he didn't think that the girl could fall in love with him when he was gone, but if she whipped her, at least she could imagine something wrong. It's a pity, the whip is always stingy after all...

Liao stepped on the horse's back and ran like lightning on the grassland for a while. Just when she reached a high grassy slope, she suddenly stopped the horse with an awning, and looked into the distance. Immediately pressed the saber at his waist.

There were more than a hundred fast horses galloping here in the distance, and her first reaction was that there was an enemy attack, but then she realized that there were no more soldiers and horses in this area. How dare you come to invade?But... what if it's a horse bandit?

The horse under the crotch is very handsome, she is not worried that it will be caught by the other party, but she is worried that if the horse bandits come to rob, the group of horse herdsmen on the pasture behind will suffer, so she hesitated for a moment and sat down. Steady on the horseback, rode the horse to meet him.

The two sides were still within an arrow's distance, so he stopped the horse, grabbed the bow with his backhand, opened the bow and shot an arrow, and a sharp arrow shot out with a whizzing sound, and landed right in front of the group of people running from the opposite side. A second arrow was put on the bow, facing each other coldly.

The person who was running in the front on the opposite side immediately raised his hands high to stop his horse from moving again, then opened his hands and drove the horse under his crotch to meet him alone.

"Beautiful girl, hello! My name is Amur, and my clansmen came here from a long distance, and traveled a long distance to come here. Excuse me, girl, if you go further, you will be Kaiyuan City?"

The person who came was an old man over a hundred years old, with dark red skin and wrinkled face. He stroked his chest with his hands, and said in a very respectful manner.

The bow and arrow in Temuer's hand pointed to the ground, but he was still vigilant: "That's right, go east from here, and after passing the Eight Tigers Road, you will be Kaiyuan City. May I ask where you are from, where are you going, and what do you want to see?" person?"

Amur said happily: "Chang Sheng Tian Bao estimated that we finally arrived at Kaiyuan safely. Beautiful girl, we are here to join Daming, can you show us the way?"

With a sad expression on his face, he said in a low voice: "We used to be nomads in this area before, but we never got close to the Eight Tigers Road, so we don't know the way further on."

Liao said suspiciously: "Was your tribe in this area before? What kind of tribe are you?"

Amur's expression became even sadder, and the white beard under his chin trembled slightly: "We are a small tribe, maybe the girl has heard the name of our tribe, we are the Huaguna tribe!"

"Hua Guna?"

Liao exclaimed: "Oh my God, didn't you have been ordered to slaughter the clan by the grand master of Xie?"

"Yes!"

Amur was in tears, and clenched his old hands tightly: "We are a small tribe with less than a thousand tents, and we have always had no disputes with others. The Ming army attacked the Wugu tribe, and we were worried that Arutai and the Ming army would fight for it This big fight brought disaster to us, so the whole family moved northward and reached the Yeliguna River, but Alutai actually committed a crime for no reason and sent people to slaughter our whole family, young and old! Our relatives, our people... "

Amur burst into tears, and sighed: "But we didn't die. Some of our tribe were grazing outside at that time, and we were able to escape the butcher knife of Arutai. We hid in Tibet and ran for our lives until we heard that the Governor of Liaodong in the Ming Master Yang Xu defeated Alutai's army, and the entire Horqin Grassland from east to south has no lackeys from Arutai, so we took the risk to escape."

After seeing Temuer, she felt a little guilty. Others didn't know, but she knew very well that in order for Meng brother Tie Muer to gain the trust of Alutai, she needed a substitute for the dead ghost. It was her father who suggested to blame him. The Huaguna tribe asked the soldiers to discuss the matter, saying that the shepherds of the Huaguna tribe led the Ming army to attack the Wugu tribe easily.

And deliberately let Wuyun Fujin hear all this, and then deliberately created an opportunity for her to escape.

As a result, after hearing the news, Alutai sent troops to chase to the Yeliguna River and punished the Huaguna tribe with slaughter.Well, there are still survivors in the Huaguna tribe.

"Okay, let your clansmen always keep a stone's throw away, and I will take you to the Eight Tigers Road!"

With a sense of guilt and compensation, Liao Temuer said to Amur.

"Okay, thank you, beautiful girl!" Amur agreed wholeheartedly, and immediately drove the horse back and ran.

After sitting on the horse and watching their movements, other scenes suddenly appeared out of the corner of his eyes. Looking around, he saw a team of hundreds of people on the grassland in the northwest direction, galloping towards this side.

I was taken aback, not knowing how to deal with this situation, a horse in that team had already galloped over alone.

There were still ten feet away, and Liao was hesitating whether to warn him not to approach, when the man shouted, "Hey! Have you left Temuer?"

Startled for a moment, he looked at this man, with a strong and strong figure, fierce and sharp eyes, wearing a khaki semeng ancient leather robe with a right lapel, slanted front, high collar, long sleeves, trim, and no slit at the hem. He wears a pair of riding boots with clumsy toes and upturned toes, and a cowhide belt is tightly tied around his waist. The saber is firmly inserted in the belt, and does not shake as he runs.

Although a messy beard covers most of his face, judging from his eyes and skin, he is a very young man. After this moment of hesitation, he has already ran to the front, grinning wide Laughing: "Haha, it really is you, girl!"

In doubt: "Who are you?"

The man pulled his big, knotted beard and wondered, "It's just that I didn't trim my beard and I didn't wear a military uniform. Don't you recognize me?"

Liao pressed his knife and said angrily, "Who are you?"

This time the man answered rather quickly: "Ming Ding Liao Zhongwei Commander, Master Ding Yu is also!"

Speaking of this, he grinned again, and said with a happy smile: "Did the Lord give me credit? Did the imperial court give me any rewards?"

The girl was shocked and said: "You are Ding Yu? Are you still alive?"

Ding Yu said: "Bah, bah, bah! This general is blessed with a long life, and his life expectancy is longer than Nanshan. How could he die? Not only did I not die, but I also rescued your sister. Your sister's name is Min Min Te Moore?"

Hearing this, he was both surprised and happy, and said in a trembling voice, "My sister is still alive? Where is she?"

Ding Yu turned his head and pointed, and said, "Here, over there, your sister..."

Before Ding Yu could finish speaking, he rode his horse and galloped away. Ding Yu shouted, "Hey, did the Lord Ministry give me a reward?"

After seeing that among the people and horses brought by Ding Yu, there was a soft load between the two horses, and there was a person lying on it. His heart was already struggling. There was no time to talk to him. Ding Yu shook his head and said: "This Why is the girl so impatient!"

When he turned his head, he saw another group of people had already come to the front because no one was looking after them. Most of these shepherds were men, and few of them were women, so one of the shepherds stood out from the crowd like a chicken. That woman had black hair, blue eyes, and milky skin. Bai, with a slender figure and bright facial features, Ding Yu's eyes immediately straightened: "Hey! This second rotor (mixed race) looks really fucking cute!" @.
