Chapter 635 The life in the grassland
The capital has entered summer.
In the northeastern part of the motherland, the mountains and grasslands are in spring when flowers bloom. At night, the temperature will even drop to around eleven or two degrees.
night.
At the junction of Jianglong Province and Beiyuan Province, Wen Shuo, who was wearing dark sports and casual clothes, lying on a meadow that was much higher than the surroundings, was very calm and soothing.
The stars are shining, the Milky Way runs through the sky...
This high, clear night sky is a beautiful scenery that is hard to see in the capital.
In the late spring grassland, the scenery is even more beautiful during the day. The sky is like a dome, covering the fields. The green grass connects the sky to lift up cattle and sheep and white clouds. The tents on the vast grassland are like flowers on the field, horses galloping, and dogs leaping and having fun.
It has been four or five days since I left the capital this time!
But I still didn't see the strongest and most orthodox wizard on the prairie mentioned by Ma Youcheng. Some people also said that this should be the last one on the prairie, the real wizard - the wizard went hundreds of miles away to perform rituals for some herders, praying for immortality to bless the livestock this year to spend the summer safely and avoid being harmed by mosquito epidemics.
In the herdsmen's tent not far away, there was a gentle and melodious song, but not without the vast and vigorous atmosphere, which was a tune that had been circulating on the prairie for hundreds or thousands of years.
Wen Shuo looked at the night sky and listened to Muqu, and his heart was as calm as water.
These days, there are not many herdsmen engaged in tourism and hospitality business, and this place is deep into the grassland. Herdsmen will only carry forward their traditional virtues of hospitality and will not consider too many interests.
When Wen Shuo and Ma Youcheng came to the home of this herdsman under the guidance of a friend, Ma Youcheng took the initiative to take out tens of thousands of yuan in cash, saying that after seeing the wizard, he might have to live here forever, the herdsman from old to young, from men to women, all showed an almost angry expression, and severely refused the cash given by Ma Youcheng. They said that this was an insult!
They said that the herdsmen on the prairie have a broad mind like this prairie, as clear as the lake, and treat their friends as tolerant and open-minded as the sky.
Therefore, friends come to visit their homes and have to be like them.
If they still have to pay for it, they will not treat the herders as friends, not friends... The herders will not accept them from living at home.
So Wen Shuo and Ma Youcheng had to stay with shamelessness.
The owner of this family is a typical herdsman uncle in his fifties. He is burly and strong, with thick legs, thick skin and black and red. He is named O Batuqimuge. He can speak Chinese in a bad way, but there is no problem with daily communication. According to himself, he was a soldier when he was young and for a long time, he was the most culturally knowledgeable person on this grassland. Wen Shuo called him Uncle Qimuge, and Ma Youcheng called him Brother Qimuge.
When I stayed in the first night, Qi Muge and his family arranged an extremely sumptuous dinner, and the horse milk and wine were enough...
Wen Shuo, who was more or less embarrassed at first, was soon influenced by the generousness of Qimuge and his two sons, and opened his heart and drank a lot.
The drunkenness was overwhelming, and the two young men became more and more excited to tell how brave they were on the grassland and how strong they were. They galloped on horseback, wielded their swords and bent their bows to shoot eagles and killed the wolf... The fat man was not willing to be outdone, and also shouted that he was strong.
Qi Muge, who was in his fifties, also got involved and said that he was a top-notch hero in the army when he was young...
Then a scene happened that made Ma Youcheng laugh and cry, but it seemed normal to the people on the grassland. Even the women of Qimuge family did not dissuade him, but happily supported Wen Shuo and Qimuge's two sons, who went outside the tent to fall.
After the fall, I continued to drink and eat meat.
In the end, Qimuge and his two sons were both drunk and unconscious.
The next day, Wen Shuo was praised by Qimuge's family as "the eagle on the grassland". They also said that they would proudly tell all the herders nearby that a hero came to Qimuge's home!
The fat man was very proud in private, and said to Ma Youcheng with some amusement and hilariousness: "Is the name of hero too cheap on the grassland?"
Ma Youcheng told him: "This is the long-standing tradition and customs on the grassland. In the past, the living conditions of grassland herders were harsh. They not only had to face various natural disasters and relocate frequently, but also had to face the attacks of omnipresent grassland wolves. Earlier, they had to prepare to fight with other tribes to protect their cattle, sheep and relatives. Therefore, a strong and strong man who can fight and kill often means living often in bloody battles, protecting the safety of family and cattle and sheep property, and naturally they are the heroes of the family and tribe. Although there are no primitive conflicts and disputes in recent years, even if there are fewer animals like grassland wolves, the tradition of nomadic people has not changed. You defeated Qi Muge's two sons alone, and your alcohol tolerance is greater than their combined... It is appropriate to be called a grassland eagle, a hero."
Wen Shuo was complacent about this.
He likes this pure, simple lifestyle very much.
Not only do you speak, but also do things in a simple and direct manner, but you are also so cheerful and enthusiastic when it comes to entertaining guests, but also lasting enthusiasm.
Originally, according to Wen Shuo’s understanding of modern society, no matter where he went, he could do hospitality. However, that was just the initial hospitality, which was the best conditions for drinking and meat to entertain guests for meals and accommodation. It can be one day, two days, three days, four days, or even longer?
That is, the customer is ignorant!
However, in Qi Muge's home, it was not that true at all.
Wen Shuo felt that Qi Muge was simply spending his money to entertain guests, including wine and meat every meal, and slaughtering cattle and sheep every day...
Damn, how embarrassed is this?!
The fat man, who didn't want to take advantage of it, was completely convinced.
After discussing with Ma Youcheng this morning, he simply called and asked Qimuge's eldest son Bi Qilie and Chen Shijie to ride out for dozens of miles, buy a lot of supplies in the town, and drive a rented off-road vehicle.
The fat man, who had already understood the style of treating Qimuge's family, did not give Qimuge and the others a chance to lose his temper this time. He stared at and waved his arms and shouted in the tent with anger, "You treat us as friends, don't we treat you as friends? Shouldn't we give friends some gifts to let you feel our feelings? Do you, do you treat us as friends? I'll stay with you for a while, are you not going to go to the capital and visit my house in the future? When you visit my house, wouldn't you bring a cow or a sheep or a pot of horse milk wine?"
Qi Muge's family is a little confused. They are simple and generous, and they are polite and sensible, so how can they be the opponent of the fat man?
So they immediately felt that they had made a big mistake and how sorry they had done to their brothers and friends. They apologized repeatedly, took the initiative to unload the piles of supplies from the car and moved them into their tent, and opened the drinks, liquor, beer, candies, and snacks on the spot to taste it, so that they would never have any thoughts about their friends, brothers.
Look, tonight, the three of Qimuge's three drunk again, and Ma Youcheng was also drunk a little.
They were talking and laughing freely by the bonfire outside the tent, playing the out-of-tune horse-head fiddle, and singing long-lasting songs at the top of their voices.
The rough singing and melodious piano sounds floated unrestrainedly on the quiet grassland shrouded by the beautiful night.
Life should be so simple.
Wen Shuo suddenly thought of a sentence, "There is nothing in the world, but the mediocre people disturb him."
In today's era of rapid social development, the pace of life in rural areas, cities and metropolis is getting faster and faster, and people are under increasing pressure. Many worries, imbalances, disputes and disputes are entangled with everyone. Interpersonal communication is no longer so pure, and the mood of life is also mixed with deliberate utilitarianism. Even occasional happiness is just deliberate anesthesia, and then it becomes even more sorrowful.
Therefore, Wen Shuo never experienced or felt the purest happiness and relaxation in the past few days on the grassland.
He found that Qi Muge and his family would also talk about changes and nomads, how to prepare for natural disasters, etc., but they would not worry too much, they just happily make full preparations for what they should do, as for what will happen in the future...
If you make enough preparations, you will have a clear conscience even if you have any losses in the future.
Their family is not wealthy, but they will not hesitate to entertain friends with the best, and give the best to entertain friends. Seeing friends happy and listening to their praises to their families and food is extremely happy and happy to them.
Qimuge said: "If cattle and sheep are killed, they will be used to entertain friends, and then more cattle and sheep will be born next year, because of our sincerity and enthusiasm, God of immortality knows."
But Wen Shuo could also see that Qi Muge's two sons had more worldly troubles and pressure than their parents - they would often leave the grassland and go to the city to work, and they would also sell some agricultural and animal husbandry products on the grassland to nearby counties. They would wear suits, leather shoes, tie, hum some pop songs, and show envious expressions when chatting, yearning for life who had lived in the city's high-rise buildings for a long time, and experience the neon hustle and bustle...
The people on the grassland said that the wizard may be the last real wizard on the grassland.
Wen Shuo was thinking that perhaps it was precisely because of the changes in society that constantly affected people's living environment, and then, the identity and profession of wizards on the grasslands became even more yearning for and respected.
Because there is no turbulent war in the grassland.
Because, if there will be weather forecasts on the grassland, there will be more and more sound guarantee measures from all aspects. Vehicles will arrive with abundant supplies in the snow, and a factory can be built to protect livestock from the cold within a few days...
People are sick, and doctors who have received professional studies, and those who are more sick can be sent to modern large hospitals for treatment.
