Chapter 436 The Educated Youth
At this moment, Bilier is sitting on the top seat, and I, Zhuan Rui and others are sitting at the two ends, with kumiss on the table.The translator Ouyang Xuan is a very young and eye-catching girl. Different from the mature and gentle girl Gu, she is very lively, with intelligence and innocence shining in her eyes. Her soft hair is tied into two small braids, which is very cute.

She was communicating with the old man Bilier in Mongolian, and Zhuanrui and I were talking in a low voice, and I said, "How is it?"

Zhuan Rui said: "He is not very willing to bring up that part of the past, I hope he can lead us to find the place where the Yaofang ruins appeared back then, and he does not agree, Xiaoxuan is negotiating." She insisted on this matter, and kept shaking her head. After a while, Ouyang Xuan seemed to have lost her mind, and looked at Zhuan Rui in embarrassment.

Zhuan Rui gave Zhong Gong a wink, and Zhong Gong who was beside him took out a tablet computer, and then walked to the side of Bilier. Since Zhong Gong was standing opposite me, I couldn't see what was on the tablet. But the old man Bilier became excited, his lips trembled, he took the tablet, and stared at it without blinking.

Ouyang Xuan struck while the iron was hot, and immediately began to persuade the old man again. Although I couldn't understand the specific conversation between them, I could see that the old man had already let go.After a while, he put down the tablet and communicated with Ouyang Xuan in Mongolian language for a while, as if to reach some agreement.

Ouyang Xuan nodded while listening, and said to us after a while, "That's great, he promised to tell us about the situation back then, but...he said he couldn't take us there."

Zhuan Rui said: "Don't force it, first ask what happened at that time."

Next, it was the communication time between Ouyang Xuan and the old man Bilier. Only then did I realize that the old photo that Zhuan Rui had shown me was displayed on the tablet.

This period of time was a bit long, and the other five of us waited patiently, while Ouyang Xuan communicated with the old man Bilier.On my left is the man named Zhang Wen. He is about 40 years old. He wears gold-rimmed glasses. Learn.I had a few words with him, and since I was not Zhuan Rui's subordinate but a partner, he was very polite to me.

The other man, nicknamed Master of Everything, is a young man, younger than us, probably 25 or [-] years old, with a very refined figure. It was April, and the night in the north was still cold, but he only wore a black vest. No chills at all.However, he seems a bit xenophobic, and he has only nodded when we met so far, without formally saying a word.

After a period of silence, in the yurt, Bilier's family members went to bed early, leaving only his daughter-in-law tidying up the sheepskin not far away, and only the voices of Bilier and Ouyang Xuan were in the yurt for half an hour. On the left and right, Ouyang Xuan showed gratitude, helped the old man to stand up, greeted the woman who was piercing the sheepskin, then lifted the curtain, and helped the old man to rest.After a while, she came out, narrowed her eyes with a smile, and said to Zhuan Rui: "The head of the family, I have found out. This is the first time I have heard of such a strange thing." Then, she relayed to us what Bilier just said. The content of the speech.

It was the spring of 1968, and NMG attracted the first batch of educated youths.

At that time, Bilier was only 13 years old, but a child who grew up on the grassland could support half of the sky at the age of 13, riding a horse to graze, chasing wolves and rabbits, no one could stop him.When the first batch of educated youths came, they were warmly received. Although NMG is remote, but due to the low population density, the products are quite rich. In the era when most people could not eat enough, those educated youths arrived in the grasslands, Like a wolf in a gazelle's den, his mouth was full of greasy food that night.

An educated youth called San Lengzi later said: "At first I thought that being sent to Inner Mongolia was to suffer, but now I realize that it is to enjoy the blessings. At least three days and two ends can eat meat." At that time, ordinary people in China, every New Year You can only eat a meal of meat during the festival.

It was Xue An who made friends with San Lengzi. The educated youths were assigned to live in various herdsmen's homes, and began to learn to live a nomadic life, herding sheep and grass for the herdsmen, gradually learning Mongolian, and gradually integrating into the local culture.In Bilier's eyes, these educated youths from the city revealed freshness and differences everywhere, whether it was language, accent or the clothes they wore, which made people want to find out. They all like to spend time with educated youths in their spare time, listening to them describe the outside world in their stuttering Mongolian.

In return, these children who hold up half the sky will lead the educated youths to integrate into the grassland faster. In their spare time, they will ride horses and bring bows and arrows to hunt.At that time, the transportation was still extremely inconvenient, and the grassland had not yet experienced large-scale human destruction. There were many species living on the grassland, such as wolves, wild horses, rabbits, gazelles, sand foxes, weasels, and fish, shrimp, crab shells in the water. There are eagles, vultures, and geese flying in the sky. The border between the desert and the grassland is also a good place. There is a clear lake there. I killed two rabbits and roasted them by the lake. They swim to cool off and eat rabbit meat, not to mention how beautiful it is.

This scene can no longer be seen in Jin's prairie. The animals on the prairie, except for small animals such as rabbits and gerbils, can still be seen unexpectedly. Wolves and red foxes have long since disappeared.So at that time, when grazing, I always liked to go to the lake area.

The incident happened in the afternoon when the red sun was setting in the west. Xue An was riding on a horse, leading his flock of sheep back to the pen. Not long after, he saw a girl named Manzhu who said that when the three fools were herding sheep by the lake, there was a A sheep got lost in the sand, and Sanlian asked her to drive the other sheep back first, while he went to the sand to look for the sheep.It has been more than an hour, but she still hasn't come back. Manzhu is worried whether she was bitten by a poisonous snake.

In the sand, there is nothing to worry about, except for poisonous snakes, poisonous scorpions, and sand wolves, but sand wolves generally live in deeper deserts, so when locals enter the desert, they are most worried about snakes.

Seeing that the sun was getting late, Xue An drank enough water and said, "I'll go find it." He turned his head and asked Bilier to accompany him, and the two rode their horses towards the direction of the lake.

There was no wind that day, so the footprints in the sand were not smoothed out. The two followed the footprints that appeared and disappeared. Soon, they found a pool of blood in the sand.

Bigel yelled that it was not good, and said: "It seems that it was left by a fool. If it was bitten by a snake, it would not bleed so much blood. It is likely to be bitten by some large animal." What is a large animal?The most common one is the sand wolf.However, this area is the range of human activities, sand wolves generally do not come close, so why do they come to this place for activities?

Xue An was in a hurry, saying that he wanted to see people when he was alive, and he wanted to see corpses when he died, so he must find the three idiots.In those days, it was a huge mistake to lose a sheep, and it was very honorable to sacrifice to protect collective property.However, San Lengzi's situation at the time was that the sheep and people were gone, and the situation was complicated.

Fortunately, people were grazing for a long time at that time, so sleeping bags and breads would be hung on the horses. In addition, Mongolians had the habit of wearing waist knives, so they all carried waist knives. Hanging bows and arrows.

The two decided to look for the three fools nearby, the vast desert, the empty grassland, as the night approached, the visibility became less and less, for safety reasons, Xue An had to prepare to go back to the yurt first, the anxious expression on his face beyond words.

At this moment, in the depths of the desert, there was a distant howling of wolves. Xue An looked up, and suddenly remembered that today is the fifteenth day, and there is a silver moon hanging in the sky, which is extremely bright.There is no shelter in the desert, and the sand is covered in a layer of silver light, but it is not as dim as imagined.At this moment, ghostly figures suddenly appeared in the desert, and upon closer inspection, they turned out to be sand wolves.

Xue An had seen individual wolves, and wolves from a distance, but he had never come into close contact with so many wolves, so he was stunned for a moment.

On the contrary, it was Bilier, a young boy with the brave and warlike blood of the Mongols in his bones.But after all, he was young, and when he was thrown head-on by a big wolf, he was knocked to the ground.

Xue An finally recovered from his fear. He didn't have a waist knife. Seeing that big wolf was about to bite Bilier's neck, he rushed forward with his bare hands, knocked the big wolf away with his own weight, and fought the big wolf. The pioneer wolf rolled into a ball in the sand.

At this moment, the wolf bit Xue An's shoulder fiercely, and Xue An let out a loud cry.This sound irritated Bilil, who had a lot of courage. He got up from the sand, grabbed the waist knife that fell aside, and rushed towards the wolf that was biting Xue An.

Wolves are companion animals. When food is plentiful, they will walk with their partners. Only when food is scarce, will they gather to form wolves.They usually hunt together, but the strange thing is that when the pioneer wolves were hunting, this wolf pack just watched from a distance and didn't come up to help at all.

Just when Bilier grabbed the waist knife and stabbed Sharon's neck, the sand wolf suddenly turned its head, its pointed wolf mouth was covered with blood, and bared its white fangs. There was a flash of green light.The green light seemed to have a demagogic power, and Billyer became unconscious at that moment, and had no idea what happened in the end.
