The harsh and changeable climate on the grassland has caused the tribe's population to never be prosperous. Therefore, in the eyes of the herdsmen, a woman's pregnancy and childbirth are more important than getting married and celebrating the birthday of the elderly. When everyone heard that Aslan's wife was pregnant, they gathered around her.
After congratulating him, he also blamed him for not telling everyone earlier, otherwise he should have stayed at home to take care of his wife in such a cold weather. Who dared to shamelessly drag him out to hunt!
"It's only been 20 days? It doesn't hinder her movement. Besides, Pade's body has always been strong. If she moves more in the early days, she will have less pain when giving birth to children in the future!" Aslan waved her hand and answered with happiness on her face.
"It's only been twenty days, no wonder I didn't see Sister Pade's belly getting bigger. Aslan, how do you know it's only been twenty days? Have you already let Elder Etuo take a look?" Tao Kuotaosi clapped his hands and stared.
Elder Tuo, who is wide-eyed, is the oldest wise man in the entire tribe. He is responsible for all the complex and mysterious tasks such as offering sacrifices to the Suchu tribe, seeing doctors, and dispensing medicines for animals. Aslan said that his wife was pregnant for more than 20 days.
, in the eyes of the girl, this must be the conclusion reached by Elder Etuo after communicating with Changshengtian
"This? No need to bother Elder Tuo, I figured it out!" Aslan was a little embarrassed by the question and started scratching his scalp.
"How did you calculate it?" Tao Kuo's curiosity was suddenly piqued, and his eyes were even bigger than Xu Maogong's.
"Haha!" Duer, Cai Teitai, and Basimi laughed uncontrollably. While laughing, they asked Aslan to answer this question seriously.
"Aslan, how did you calculate it? Don't hide it, teach everyone how to calculate it!" Duer winked at Aslan while holding his stomach.
"Oh my God, Immortality!" Aslan was asked and wanted to hit the wall for a while, then he explained with a red face: "Well, this is a bit difficult. When you grow up, you will naturally understand!"
"It seems like you are much older than me!" Tao Kuo spat, and a red cloud floated on his face. From the expressions of everyone, she guessed that she must have made an extremely childish mistake, otherwise Duer and others
The smile on her face wouldn't be so weird. She remembered this expression very well. When sister Eru heard that she went to the guest tent, but Fu Li was so scared that she ran away, the smile on her face was exactly the same.
Thinking of his embarrassment in front of his sisters that morning, Tao Kuo's "anger" was aroused and he turned around to find trouble with Li Xu, only to find that the dizzy young man and Xu Dayan were pestering Eru.
, kept asking him questions about Star Iron
"Star iron is the iron stone given to the shepherds by the God of Immortality. You don't understand this, you are so stupid!" Tao Kuo Tuosi interrupted angrily.
"My master is knowledgeable, and I would like to be taught by you!" Li Xu clasped his hands in front of his chest, assuming the posture of a young scholar accepting advice from a wise man. This was a trick he had summed up through many days of practice to deal with Tao Kuo's hair loss. As long as he took the scholar's
If you show off your sourness and add a few sentences, the barbarian girl will definitely run away.
Sure enough, Tao Kuo took off his clothes and saw that Li Xu suddenly turned into a little scholar. All the anger was frozen in his body. His eyes widened and his teeth were itching with hatred, but he couldn't think of a good response.
words come
"The ground near Crescent Lake is warm, and the snow always melts as it falls. After being washed by snow water, the original color of the stone is easily exposed, so today is a good time to look for star iron! Everyone, walk faster and help Aslan
Look for it!" Duer was so angry when he saw Tao Kuo taking off his clothes that his eyes were red, and he quickly changed the topic elsewhere.
Aslan was wondering why Tao Kuo's face changed color in an instant. Seeing Duer suddenly riding away, he suddenly remembered the joke about attachment that had been spread throughout half of the tribe recently. He knew that his sentence "Wait a minute"
When you grow up, you get into trouble, stick out your tongue, and ride your horse to chase Duer.
Seeing several other people running away, Tao Kuo Tuosi felt even more embarrassed. He deliberately hit that annoying idiot on the head with his riding crop, but he was afraid that the blow would be too harsh. From then on, he refused to pay attention to himself. He thought about it, feeling aggrieved.
Both eyes became blurred
"We Xi people live by water and grass, and we will not always be stationed in the same camp. Therefore, our ancestors did not leave any wisdom about mining, and the herdsmen did not have time to mine iron ore!" Eru looked at the kittens and puppies in front of her.
The boy who was acting like a naughty boy smiled and picked up the reins of his horse, standing between the two of them.
"Aslan is now starting to accumulate star iron. On the day when Sister Pade gives birth to his son, he will probably be able to hit a scimitar. The man on the grassland has a good knife, just like the eagle has grown wings! Let's speed up,
Don’t be left behind by Aslan and the others!”
This is the reason why Aslan wants to look for star iron. The herdsmen don't know how to mine. All the iron tools are either bought from the Central Plains, or rely on the iron stones scattered on the grasslands collected during grazing. The kind called star iron by the ancestors of the Xi people
Although the black stone is small, it takes dozens of dollars to make a scimitar, but the quality of the sword is excellent. The blade is sharper than a scimitar made of sold iron, and the blade has better toughness.
The only fly in the ointment is that the little thing is hard to come by. Many herdsmen may not be able to pick up enough materials to make a machete even if they wander around the grassland for a whole year.
The group of people laughed and ran for more than seventy miles. Both the horses and the people were sweating, but they did not feel tired. As they ran, the sound of horse hooves in their ears was gradually replaced by the sound of running water. Everyone knew that Crescent Lake was
In front of you
It was an extremely beautiful lake. Whether it was the ignorant Li Xu or the well-informed Xu Dayan, the moment they saw the lake for the first time, they opened their mouths and softly let out a sigh of admiration.
Beauty, not ordinary beauty. The river upstream is frozen for thousands of miles, and the river downstream is covered with snow. Only this lake with a radius of more than 20 miles lies like a blue gem among thousands of miles of snowfields. The cold wind blows,
Smoke and mist spread across the water, lingering, as if an immortal was burning incense and playing strings among the blue waves.
Li Xu jumped off the horse, rushed to the shore of the lake in three steps and then reached out to grab a handful on the smoke wave. A bone-breaking cold immediately penetrated into his bones.
"Ah, it's so cold!" Li Xu, who had been preparing to touch the warm water, shook his fingers and jumped up
"Stupid, this water is just warmer than snow, that's why you see smoke coming out. If you throw a wild fruit into it in summer, you can freeze your teeth after taking it out after a while!" Tao Kuo took off his silk and saw that Li Xu had been fooled, and then
He became happy and pointed at the lake with his riding crop to introduce it.
"It's so majestic and amazing! If you hadn't been outside the Great Wall, you wouldn't have known that there is such a grand place in the world!" Xu Dayan closed his eyes and opened his arms on the horse. This trip was not in vain. Not only did he gain knowledge, but he also gained many years of hard study.
I found opportunities to practice my art of war, met several good friends, and saw scenery I had never seen before.
Traveling thousands of miles is like reading thousands of books. The ancients were honest. Only seeing this empty field can arouse the pride in people's hearts. Only in these thousands of miles of ice and snow can people see the dreams in their hearts more clearly.
Xu Dayan waved his arms, and his smile showed a bit of youthfulness and frivolity.
"If you come here in the summer, it will be even more beautiful. There are wild flowers everywhere. Even the fish in the lake want to jump out and smell the flowers. If it comes at night, the stars in the sky and the stars in the water are almost right next to each other. No.
If you look carefully, you can't tell who's reflection is whose!" Seeing that the guests appreciated the grassland scenery so much, Eru introduced it with a bit of pride.
This lake has left countless beautiful memories for the girl. Last summer, it was at this lake that I met Ba Keruo from the Pure Silt Tribe. He was the youngest clan leader of the dozens of Min Tribes nearby. The entire summer's Fengdu
It’s very intoxicating, and the stars above our heads are also exceptionally bright.
"When spring comes next year, he will bring me wine and marry me into his tent!" The girl's eyes were full of expectation for the future. She looked back at Xu Dayan, the expectation mixed with a bit of confusion.
"If I had met Brother Xu at the lake last summer, whose tent would I choose?" The girl suddenly felt that her heart was in chaos, as if a deer was jumping, and the expression on her face became unnatural.
"Brother Xu's arrow shooting is no worse than Ba Keruo's, and his horse riding is no slower than Ba Keruo's. Every word that comes out of Brother Xu's mouth has a different taste!" Eru secretly glanced at Xu who was expressing his feelings in the wind.
With big eyes, he tried his best to suppress the complicated thoughts in his heart.
"I am showing off my youth, you are walking far away and I am cutting red candles, but you are already too late..." In the smoke in front of me, a spring scene of Makino that Aunt Qing once painted slowly appeared, and the nasturtiums swaying in the wind gave me a sense of joy.
People always feel as if they are pouring out a few regrets. At that time, she didn't know what the regrets were, but now, Eru knows that she understands everything.
She sighed softly, and slowly began to envy her sister and the young and ignorant people who were attached to her. Next summer, the entire starlight by the lake will belong to the two of them, and she will give them her most sincere blessings.
