Chapter 48: The Story of the Grassland
Of course, Bayan, as a close bodyguard of Lord Buwanhu, is very respected by his neighbors. Just like the neighbor's old mother of Haila, who has always called Bayan the Great Warrior of Bayan, it is very useful. This is also the reason why Bayan's yurt is the best nearby.
Bayan is not only a close servant, but also responsible for taking care of his beloved horse. Suddenly, there were many war horses, at least several. In the Mongolian concept, the horse is a very noble animal. Therefore, the number of horses a person has is also an important sign of a person's social status.
Suddenly, Lord Bu's favorite is Us. This is the name given to his beloved horse by Lord Wanhu. Although Bayan doesn't know what "Us" means. Because this is obviously not Mongolian, let alone Chinese. Uh-huh~~" Bayan walked to the stable while thinking about this strange name.
"Alas~~, forget it, I don't want to. What does this have to do with me?" This is Bayan's final conclusion, because he knows that this is not his strength.
Bayan met many acquaintances along the way, and he was also a bodyguard Batu. His elder had a Mongolian beard, and his curly beard almost covered half of his face. He was talking to others with this machete and seemed to be in a good mood.
Ah, good morning! My Batuanda." Bayan is also in a good mood today. Oh, nice to meet you, Bayan Anda, my brother. Batu was also particularly happy to see Bayan. The two of them have a good relationship and finally became Anda last year.
"Ah, drag Rayanda! Ah! Guo Jinganda! Full of love, full of basics!"
With a confident step, Bayan slowly walked into the stables of 10,000 households. Today, he will first come to see "Us" and other beloved horses.
When Bayan entered the stable, he was shocked. Because he didn't expect him to come at this time - the owner of the stable - suddenly Lord Buwanhu.
"Ah, the picture wood. This is a good man." That's how Father Battle commented on the shepherd's catalogue of Hexi Horse Farm. Tu Lumu is about the same age as Battle, but~~ How to say? Old naughty boy?" Well, this word is good. That's what Father Battle thought.
Think about Tulumu, who is in his fifties, is still so talkative and "talking".
"Tulumu, your mouth is just like the parrots raised by those fat Han merchants!" Daddy Battle once made a joke on him. Of course, there is no malice. The catalogue wood still smiled after listening to it. Hey~~, those Han merchants who are full of fat brains must have raised the tongues of their parrots fat and big!"
"Hahaha," the people sitting together laughed.
Because Father Bartle once followed the tribute mission to the Ming Dynasty people to enter the palace, he had seen some rich merchants of the Han nationality, one of whom had a fat ear and raised a parrot, and how to say something that he didn't understand. This made Bartel, who saw this kind of thing for the first time, particularly impressive.
Now is the time when the water and grass are lush, and the temperature has risen, and there is no cold winter. The knife seemed to blow directly in the wind, which made people's cheeks hurt. Warm weather, blue sky, white clouds, clear streams.
is really refreshing. Looking at the horses, the sheep are quietly eating grass on the sideside and quietly "walking". The afternoon sun shines on their bodies, which is warm and a little itchy.
"Cough," Father Battle knows that everyone has nothing to do and wants to talk about trivial things in life. Although it is not important, this kind of chat can always make people forget the fatigue of running horses, the soreness of driving cattle and sheep, and the arm waving whips.
The catalogue is a "good hand" in this regard, "Uh-huh~~ That's not right." Father Battle changed his mind, "It should be a 'good mouth'."
Thinking of this star, Battle was surprised for a moment. Why didn't he see him today? He is particularly active at such times on weekdays.
"Where is this old boy?"
Far away, a figure riding a horse came. At any time, he was old, but his eyes were still good, and Bartle recognized him at a glance. He is riding a horse this way slowly.
"What are you doing, Tulu Mu! If we come late, we will drink all the milk wine!" Father Battle shouted at him from afar, and the people next to him laughed.
The catalogue quickly chased the horse a few times and got off the horse next to them. He said sly, "Oh~~ At least save some for me. Hey! I came in such a hurry that my stomach was grunting with hunger!"
Tu Lumu is worthy of people's "pistachio", even his beard. The beard of Tulumu is different from his old friend Bartle. Battle has a thick and curly beard, black, which gives people a sense of majesty. However, Tulumu is particularly careful about his beard, not only to take care of it every day, but also to make it shiny. The most funny thing for others was that he was not satisfied and even divided his beard into several pieces and made it up.
Many young people laughed at him and said, "The old cow has a nose ring, and the old picture has a beard ring; take the old cow with the nose ring and drag the beard old picture."
Lao Tu's beard sometimes really brings him inconvenience. Maybe when something is hung on his beard, it will make his old face hurt.
"Hey, listen to me, listen to me." Tu Lumu came over with a mysterious face and said, "Do you know why I came so late today?"
"Yoh! Lao Tu, don't tell the story. Tell me about it. Do you like any girl? Hey hey!" A young man next to him came up.
"Don't talk nonsense, I'm a very old man!" The picture wood blushed a little and hurriedly defended. Well, I just heard a news today about Ba Yan. Do you know?"
As soon as this said, it made the people present stunned for a while.
"Bayan? That Bayan?"
"Yes, that's Bayan who has only been here for ten days." Tu Lumu reminded them. That's Bayan who raises horses in the westernmost part of the horse farm!"
"Oh, he! What's wrong with him?" Many people just came back.
Everyone doesn't know that he should do it, because everyone is very ignorant about the small horse breeding place in the west of the horse farm. Because it's not just the conditions there. Located on the Fen River, there are a lot of swamps, and many of the bravest people rarely go there, because if you accidentally fall into the swamp, there is nothing you can do. And it is the land of death, the entrance to immortality.
Of course, this is an exaggeration. However, there is indeed a swamp on the right bank of the Fen River. In the dry season, a large area of loess will be exposed; when the rainy season comes, the water of the Fen River will also be extremely rapid, washing away a large area of loess into a yellow mud swamp.
The swamp is several meters deep, and because in spring, there are grass and river algae. Once they fall into it, not only sink into the mud, but also these vegetation may become deadly things.
There is grass only growing in high-lying places. This is the most difficult place to raise horses in the whole right pasture of the river. Of course, this is also a grazing place. It's just that it's not the grazing place of Bartel.
This is a place where sinners atone for their sins.
"I don't know if Lord Wanhu wants this Bayan to fall into the swamp like this and die, isn't it?" This picture is pretending to be mysterious.
"Well, we don't know, brother." Battle said. During this guy's visit, we basically didn't have any contact with him. I haven't even seen such a person. I just heard from others that this person came here some time ago.
"Hey~~, my buddy Bartel. You are so ignorant." After saying that, Tu Lumu put on his classic expression again. What can be hidden from my 'the downwind ear of the right horse farm', the old man Mu!"
"Oh, I just chatted with you, but I forgot the most important thing." Tu Lumu shouted with great enlightenment. Oh, oh. This is the news I just heard in the morning. I heard it from the side when Bai Yinjia's second son was talking to someone.
At the sight of the picture, everyone looked at himself. He was happy, looked left and right, and said to them, "Bayan, who has just arrived! He~~, he ran away!"
"What!" When everyone heard this, they were shocked and hurriedly asked the reason for the catalogue.
"This Bayan turned out to be a close bodyguard under Lord Buwanhu! It seems that he made a big mistake and was sent here! I don't know why. A few days ago, Baiyin went to pick up the meat. When he was dressed, he found that Bayan was missing, and he couldn't find it no matter how he looked for it!"
"Is it gone? What's going on? Can't it be~~~?" There were some questions from the crowd, "You won't really fall into the swamp and die, will you?" Many people are worried to ask. It's not so much worry, but more curious. Because many people have never seen Bayan at all, they just know that there is such a person.
"Hey, if you really drown, it will be fine!" Tu Lumu said something "weird".
"Hey? Why do you talk like that? Aren't you cursing people to die!? Even Battle felt strange. Why did he die?
"Hey, let me tell you the truth!" Tulu Mu's eyes saw that everyone's doubts were mobilized by his "tongue".
"This Baiyin looked left and right, and finally found a parchment in the small tent where Bayan lived. It says the reason for his disappearance. Guess what?
The Tulumu looked at himself with a pair of eyes around him and said loudly:
"Bayan! He ran away and fled to the Ming Dynasty!"
"Saizhu, I'm leaving."
"Oh, I know. Be careful all the way!" Saizhu replied like this.
Batu lifted the yurt, took a vigorous step, and walked outside. The weather is very good today, but his mood is more than that. Although he didn't show it in front of his wife. However, his virtuous wife also knows it in her heart. Although she didn't take the initiative to mention it.
