Chapter 1,165 Entering (3)
"Brother Timur, why are you here?"
Zhuang Rui patted Chai Feng's horse's head, motioned it to go aside to rest, and walked towards Timur and others.
Timur smiled and said: "Dr. Ren said you are missing, can we not come?"
"I didn't say that. You just found it yourself because you were worried..."
Ren Chunqiang quickly corrected Timur's words. Although Zhuang Rui did not go back yesterday, he was not very worried. Zhuang Rui himself had experience in surviving in the wild. In addition, Peng Fei found out that in this prairie
There won't be any danger.
But early this morning, Battelle and several others came from the pasture. When they heard that Zhuang Rui had not returned yesterday, they mounted their horses and searched for him in the direction that Zhuang Rui had traveled yesterday.
Zhuang Rui's place was only about ten kilometers away from the Alzhai Grottoes, so the sun jumped high from the ground, and Battelle and others found this place.
"Zhuang Ruian replied, my family has made arrangements. Brother Battelle will help me take care of the pasture. I can go to Beijing with you with confidence..."
When Timur said this, he hesitated for a moment, and then said: "But Zhuang Ruian replied, I want to take Wu Yunqiqige with me, and she also wants to see the capital Beijing..."
As if afraid that Zhuang Rui would disagree, Timur then said: "Zhuang Rui's answer, the expenses incurred along the way are all our own, and we will not cause you any trouble..."
Zhuang Rui glanced at Wu Yun Qiqi, who was playing with the hem of his clothes with his head down, and couldn't help but laugh. This girl is usually very wild, how can she be so good? Looking at Timur like this, he must have been attracted by Wu Yun Qiqi.
The force is quite strong.
"Brother Timur, Beijing is my home, and we are sworn brothers. Why do you have to pay for going to my house? Wu Yunqiqige is the sister of Brother Bater, and the sister of me and Peng Fei. If this happens in the future,
Needless to say..."
Zhuang Rui knew that although Peng Fei and Battelle did not have a so-called marriage, they still had a life-long friendship. It was not a big deal to take his own girl to Beijing for a tour.
When the little girl heard that Zhuang Rui agreed to her going to Beijing, she stopped pretending and jumped up directly, shouting: "Ah, brother Zhuang Rui is the best..."
"Okay, it's been upgraded. Brother Zhuang Rui was a big bad guy a few days ago..."
Zhuang Rui laughed when he heard this. It was really a pleasure to get along with these straightforward prairie people. There was no need to guess what the other person was thinking, and there was no need to deliberately guard against anything.
"Zhuang Ruian replied, then... when will we leave?"
Timur also had a smile on his face, and he believed Zhuang Rui's words. He had been pestered by Wu Yunqi Qige in the past few days, and now he felt relieved when Zhuang Rui agreed.
Zhuang Rui thought for a while and said: "Let's leave the day after tomorrow. This trip to Mongolia for archeology was a bit unsuccessful. I want to stay one more day..."
When Zhuang Rui was talking, he was thinking hard about how to bring the topic to the lake three or four miles away. If he couldn't get close to it, everything he said would be empty talk.
As for returning to Beijing? Ever since Zhuang Rui surveyed the secret passage, he has no plans to go back in the near future. The emergence of Dunhuang documents and the Mausoleum of Genghis Khan are more important. Even a junior brother who has just entered the archeology department can tell the difference.
.
"Zhuang Ruian replied, don't think about any work. Since you have to leave the day after tomorrow, I will take you to have fun in the past two days..."
Timur tilted his head and thought for a moment, then asked Battle with some uncertainty: "Brother Battle, there seems to be a lake not far from here, right? Should we go there to play? The fish there are very fat.
…”
"You're talking about Zhahan Dao Tu Lake? That's a pretty good place. Okay, I have a tent with me anyway, so let's go there..."
Battelle nodded and said to Zhuang Rui, who was confused at the side: "Brother Zhuang, the lake Timur mentioned is the most beautiful place for hundreds of miles around us. Although the lake is not very big, the water in the lake never changes.
Dry, the scenery is very beautiful..."
"Zhahan Daotu? The place also called Swan Lake?"
Before entering the grassland, Zhuang Rui had carefully looked at the map of the grassland, and he still remembered the name Zhahan Daotu. It was a lake deep into the grassland, also known as Swan Lake by the locals.
It's just that Zhuang Rui never imagined that this ordinary name would become the focus of the entire world in the near future, and countless scientific research historians would gather here.
"Yes, that's right there, Zhuang Ruian, do you know?"
Timur laughed naively when he heard this and said: "There is nothing good on the grassland except cattle and sheep. Let's go back there and hunt some water birds to bring to Anda's family. The taste will be delicious..."
"Timur answered, as long as you have the intention, it doesn't matter whether you bring something or not..."
Zhuang Rui could feel Timur's sincere friendship, but he could only say sorry in his heart at the moment. He estimated that his trip to Beijing would be postponed for a while.
"Let's go. Swan Lake is a great place. I'm almost tired of eating beef and mutton these days. Let's catch a few fish and make some fish soup to drink..."
Dr. Ren is no stranger to Swan Lake. As a qualified archaeological team member, he must have a good grasp of geographical knowledge. Dr. Ren also did a lot of homework before entering the grassland.
After Peng Fei packed up his tent, the group rode towards Swan Lake. Not long after, the vast lake surface and a large patch of reeds appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
"So beautiful..."
Looking at the clear lake water in front of him, Zhuang Rui couldn't help but sigh.
Compared with famous tourist attractions such as Taihu Lake and West Lake in the mainland, the scenery of this little-known lake is even more beautiful. The endless blue waves of the lake are quiet and beautiful.
With blue sky and blue water, Swan Lake is like a sapphire embedded in this prairie. There are reeds in the lake and groups of birds inhabit it. There are even two white swans not far away.
Playing and playing on the water.
"Hey, Zhuang Ruian replied, you are really lucky. Those big white birds are usually only found in spring and autumn. I didn't expect there are two left now. I will shoot them down and we will take them to Beijing..."
Just as Zhuang Rui was immersed in this beautiful scenery, Timur's disgraceful words rang in his ears. As he watched his Anda take off the bow and arrow from the horse, Zhuang Rui quickly jumped off the horse and held down
Timur's hand.
"Timur's answer, then... that is a white swan, a globally vulnerable species and a national second-level protected animal. It is illegal to hunt them..."
Zhuang Rui was really dumbfounded at this moment. The beautiful white swan turned into a big white bird in Timur's mouth. If this guy saw a mandarin duck, wouldn't he think it was a quail?
"Protect...protect animals?"
Timur was stunned by what Zhuang Rui said, then looked at Battelle and said: "Brother Battelle, when we were young, didn't we often come here to hunt birds? The meat of this big white bird is so delicious..."
"Meat...is it delicious?"
Zhuang Rui, Peng Fei and Dr. Ren were all shocked by Timur's words. Nowadays, some people actually say that the meat of the white swan is delicious. Judging from the way Timur licked his lips when he spoke, he must have eaten it a lot back then.
.
"Ahem, I...I didn't know that swans were protected animals, but I never fought them afterwards..."
Battelle felt uncomfortable being stared at by Zhuang Rui and the others. When he was in the army, he had cracked down on wildlife smuggling at the border, so of course he knew that white swans are nationally protected animals.
"Ba, I didn't expect you... to have eaten swan meat?"
Peng Fei smiled strangely and lengthened his tone, clearly mocking Battle for the toad eating the swan meat.
"Go, go, that would be ignorant, you don't know how to protect animals..."
Barter's face turned red when Peng Fei said that. He turned to look at Timur and said, "That animal is protected by the state. You are not allowed to hit it in the future."
"People eat birds, and birds eat fish and insects. Why can't we kill them?"
Timur was a little unconvinced. The prairie people respected nature in their rules of conduct, and in their blood they followed the unbreakable truth of nature that the weak can eat the strong.
"Brother Timur, you are right, but this kind of bird is about to become extinct. If we continue to kill it, we will never see it again, so we protect it..."
Zhuang Rui got on his horse again, and while talking, he was approaching a lake intentionally or unintentionally.
Timur laughed when he heard this and said loudly: "Hey, don't you understand now that I won't fight if you don't want to fight?" Zhuang Ruian replied, I will go to the lake to catch fish for you..."
Arriving at the edge of a lake first, Zhuang Rui jumped off his horse and said with a smile: "I'll get off, my water skills were developed in the sea..."
"Zhuang Ruian replied, the lake here is very deep, more than ten meters, let's change to another place?"
Timur and others followed Zhuang Rui's horse and walked here. After dismounting and looking at the terrain, they couldn't help but change their expressions, because this lake is not only very deep, but also often has some strange things happening.
Some people come here to fish.
"It's okay, Brother Timur. When I was in the sea, I even dived into tens of meters of water with my bare hands..."
Zhuang Rui was afraid of being stopped by Timur, so when he was talking, he took off his shirt and pants, revealing his strong but not exaggerated muscles.
"Hey...hey!" When Timur was still trying to stop him, Zhuang Rui had already walked into the lake along the edge of the lake.
Peng Fei on the side saw the worried looks on the faces of Bater and Timur, and couldn't help but smile and said: "It's okay, Brother Zhuang's water quality is really good..."
Zhuang Rui no longer cared about what they were talking about at this moment. The cave entrance about ten meters deep under the water was like a magnet, filled with strong suction, calling for his entry.
