Chapter Seventy-Second 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 hills 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 and beautiful lines, like a plump and round woman's body, undulate and extend far away. Among the green grass and wild flowers, there are several 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.

Tomorr rode on a strong bay horse, with a big nose, a broad chest, and huge hoofs under the long, powerful legs, the fastest of the horses, and the endurance of the horses, if he let him go Galloping with all four hooves, the horse's belly can almost touch the tip of the grass. She ran to a group of horses on her 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 mane of the horse, and threw the rein on the saddle. 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: Miss! This Ruan Xiaojiu is a Han. More and more members of the Temore tribe are engaged in business, farming, labor, and transportation. The benefits obtained in these areas have far surpassed that of 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 Temore tribe to graze their horses.This is a kind of fusion in the transitional stage. The shepherds went to engage in other industries by themselves. There were fewer and fewer people in the clan responsible for herding, and it was impossible for the existing cattle, sheep and horses to decrease suddenly. They graze.

However, these Han people are not qualified shepherds in terms of riding skills or herding knowledge. As the daughter of the patriarch, Liao Temore had to take on the responsibility of teaching them herding knowledge. Ruan Xiaojiu, how many horses do you let go? Four gangs! Ruan Xiaojiu chuckled: Here, girl, look, there are thirty-nine horses in this group, twenty-eight horses in that group, sixteen horses in the group on the front slope, and the group on the far side of the river. , is eleven horses. He smiled and praised, "It's not bad. It's only been about twenty days, and I can see four gangs of horses by myself. 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 seems to be the smallest, you have to be extra special." Notice.In a group of horses, if there are two or three horses, you don't have to worry about them. They will take care of the whole group around them and keep them from running around. But this herd is just one horse, it doesn’t look at the horses, but leads the horses. If you don’t pay attention, it will have fun, and it won’t necessarily lead its horses where went.

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 girl for your advice, I understand! Ruan Xiaojiu grinned and nodded, her eyes secretly looked at the girl's small red water chestnut mouth from the side, twitching seductively. In the distance, a shepherd who was in charge of looking after the other horses shook his head and laughed: Xiao Jiu, this kid, deliberately found a way, hooked up with others, and the girl spoke. The shepherd is also Han Chinese, named Zheng Si'an.Ever 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 character 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 fierce, they would not dare to commit adultery and play tricks, let alone hostile customers Bully the Lord. 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 teach them grazing. They naturally have to try their best to get along with them. People strike up a conversation and talk a little more.Regarding the rules of the first horse, Old Zheng had already told Ruan Xiaojiu, how could he not understand, deliberately made some mistakes, and just teased the eldest girl to talk to him.

Duh, duh, go!Suddenly seeing a stallion from someone else's gang approaching his group of horses, Zheng Si'an immediately drove it away with a whip. There are many rules for raising horses, such as pasture, drinking water, salt feeding, etc. Erma does not allow any male horses from other gangs to approach his caravan. Once he gets close, Erma will jump out and bite each other; If any of the mares in the house goes to someone else's caravan, it will be difficult for it to return to the team, because the son horse will never forgive such a treacherous mare, and if it comes back, the son horse will drive it away.

What's more, when the young 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 will be 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, he raised his whip quickly 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 guidance, girl!" With a snort, he withdrew his whip.Either really whip it or don’t whip it. The prairie people’s whip has many rules. If you whip him lightly, it is not a punishment, but a show of love to the man you love. How can you let the whip fall on him? On the shoulder, she walked away angrily, without stepping on the stirrup, she stretched out her hand to press the horse's back, jumped up, bent and straightened, and stood beautifully on the horse's back, whistling. With a sound, the bay red horse ran away.

Ruan Xiaojiu touched his shoulder, and smiled slyly.Of course he didn't think that the girl would fall in love with him when he was gone, but if she whipped her, at least he could imagine something wrong. It's a pity, the whip is always stingy after all, you bastard! 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 Yes, and immediately pressed down on the saber at his waist. In the distance, there were more than a hundred fast horses galloping towards this side. Her first reaction was that there was an enemy attack, but she immediately realized that there were no Tatar troops in this area. How could a small group of Tatars dare to attack? Come to violate?But what if it's a bandit? The horse under her crotch is very handsome, she is not worried about being caught by the other party, but she is worried that if the horse bandits come to rob, the gang of horse herdsmen on the pasture behind will suffer, so she hesitates for a moment, it is over Sitting firmly on the horseback, he rode up 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 with a whizzing sound, and landed right in front of the group of people running on the opposite side. The second arrow was put on the bow, and they faced 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. Hello beautiful girl!My name is Amul, and my clansmen came here from far away and traveled long distances.Excuse me, girl, if you go further, you will be Kaiyuan City, right? The person who came was an old man over fifty years old, with dark red skin and wrinkled face. He put his hands on his chest and said in a very respectful manner. The bow and arrow in Temore's hand pointed to the ground, but he remained vigilant: Yes, go east from here, and after passing the Eight Tigers Road is Kaiyuan City.Where are you from, where are you going, and who do you want to meet? Amu'er said happily: "Longevity blesses us, 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 tribe are you? Amu'er'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! Huaguna? Liao exclaimed: My God, didn't you have been ordered to slaughter the clan by the Tatar Taishi Alutai? Yes! Amu'er burst into tears, and clenched his old hands tightly: We are a small tribe with less than a thousand tents, and we have never competed with others.The Ming army attacked the Wugu tribe. We were worried that Arutai and the Ming army would fight for it, which would harm us, so the whole family moved northward and nomadic to the Erliguna River. People slaughtered our whole family, young and old!our relatives, our people Amu'er burst into tears, and sighed: "But we didn't die. Some of our tribe were grazing outside at that time, and were able to escape the butcher's knife of Alutai. We ran for our lives in the Eastern Tibet Province until we heard that Yang Xu, the Governor of Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty Your Excellency 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 Temore, she felt a little guilty. Others didn't know, but she knew very well that in order for Mengge Timur to gain the trust of Arutai, she needed a scapegoat. 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, Arutai sent troops to chase to the Erriguna River and punished the Huaguna tribe with slaughter.Unexpectedly, there are still survivors in the Huaguna tribe. Well, tell your clansmen to 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 Temer said to Amul. OK, thank you, beautiful girl!Amu'er fully agreed, and immediately drove the horse back and ran. In order to sit on the horse and watch their movement, other scenes were caught in the corner of his eyes. Looking around, he saw a team of hundreds of people galloping towards this side on the grassland in the northwest. I was taken aback, not knowing how to deal with this situation, a horse in that team had already galloped over alone. There are still ten feet away, Liao was hesitating whether to warn him not to approach, the man has already shouted: Hey!Is it a Temer? Startled for a moment, he looked at this man, with a strong and strong figure, fierce and sharp eyes, wearing a khaki Mongolian leather robe with a right lapel, slanted front, high collar, long sleeves, trim, and no slit at the hem. A pair of riding boots with clumsy toes and upturned toes. A cowhide belt is tightly tied around his waist. The saber is firmly inserted in the belt and does not sway with his running movements. 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: I just didn't trim my beard and I didn't wear a military uniform. Don't you recognize me? Liao pressed the knife and said angrily: Who are you? This time the man answered rather quickly: "Ming Ding Liao Zhongwei Commander, Master Ding Yu is also!" Having said that, 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: Are you Ding Yu?You are not dead yet? Ding Yu said: Bah, bah, bah!This general is blessed with a great life, and his life expectancy is longer than that of Nanshan. How could he die?Not only did I not die, but I also rescued your sister. Your sister's name is Min Mintmore, right? Hearing it, he was both surprised and happy, and said in a trembling voice: "My sister is still alive?"What about her? Ding Yu turned his head and pointed, and said: Here, over there, your sister and her Before Ding Yu finished speaking, he rode his horse and galloped away. Ding Yu shouted: "Hey, did the Lord Minister 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, and his heart was already struggling, so there was no time to talk to him, Ding Yu shook his head and said: "Why is this 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 so fucking charming!
