It got dark early in the northwest, and it was completely dark outside, only the cold moonlight and the dancing candles.
Meng Su's hand pressed his chest, and it seemed that there was still the heat from when she leaned on her.
Ling Qingyu, who was very comfortable after taking a bath, leaned on the head of the bed, flipped through today's inventory by candlelight, and said to Yan San, "Yan San, I don't want to go out for dinner today, let's see if I can make a bowl of noodles?"
"What's wrong? Not feeling well?" Yan San asked, checking her temperature with his hand.
"Riding the horse is still a bit bumpy and disgusting. By the way, I want them to put more spicy peppers." Ling Qingyu put down the manifest and said.
"Okay." Yan San nodded, walked outside the door, and asked Ying Shisan to tell the truth. It seems that the skill of riding a horse also needs to be practiced. She went crazy with Meng Su without saying that she was uncomfortable.
The cottage on Du Ming's side is a little far from the wasteland reclaimed by the Ling family, and the wasteland reclaimed by himself here is much more. At this time, the Loess Plateau has not been deprived of its vitality by soil erosion and drought like later generations. The land on the plateau is still very fertile, and there will be some small forests and bushes.
Ling Qingyu changed into men's clothes, and walked on the mountain for two days. She didn't know much about agriculture, but she once visited the organic farm on the plateau of the later generations because of investing in a project, and walked with the soldiers who did farming. .
Corn, sweet potatoes and potatoes are new varieties, and the soldiers didn't know how to make them, but they knew about the good harvest last year. Hearing Ling Qingyu say that the soil here should be suitable for corn and potatoes, he also thought about how to harvest them in the spring. more time.
Seeing Ling Qingyu who had gotten along well with the soldiers in a short amount of time and was able to pick up and fight back their pornographic jokes, Du Ming said to Meng Su: "Why do I feel that the boss is getting tougher and tougher?" They are all right now, so many rough guys can't beat her!
"She's just in a good mood today." Meng Su laughed.
Yan San unconsciously glanced at Meng Su. When Ling Qingyu was in a bad mood, he liked to settle accounts. When he was in a good mood, he liked Hu Tianhaidi's Kan Dashan. He could say anything, but how did this kid know
When Han Bian brought people over with the goods, it was only two days before the agreed time, so he went to the sandy land without stopping.
Entering the sandy area, there will be fewer patrols on the Dazhou side. This is already considered the boundary of the party, and most of the people who come and go are members of the party.
There are a lot of people in their group. After all, they are going to bring back 6,000 horses and 1,000 cows. Du Ming brought 3,000 people, and Meng Su's 600 people are delivering goods. The group is mighty.
The people on the party's side probably also bribed the soldiers, and the group arrived at the delivery point without meeting anyone along the way.
It is said that it is sandy land, but there is still a little vegetation, but it is winter at this time, and it is all withered.
Turning a sand dune, the flat ground below has gathered endless herds of horses and cattle.
Ling Qingyu also wore men's clothing today, sat in front of Yan San, and followed to watch the fun.
She hasn't seen what happened to tens of thousands of horses.
"Master, don't go down." Seeing that she was eager to try, Meng Su called out. I'm afraid the horses below are not necessarily all familiar horses, and there are cattle, once startled, it will be very dangerous.
"Okay." Ling Qingyu nodded, watching Du Ming lead the team and Han Bian ran down the sand dune to meet the people who came up there, and then went to the horse herd.
"Shisan, go and protect Mr. Han." Yan San said to Ying Shisan, Ying Shisan responded and chased after him.
"How spectacular are these tens of thousands of cavalry?" Seeing the 3,600 cavalry merge into the horse herd, Ling Qingyu sighed unconsciously.
"Ten thousand is fine, but fifty thousand is spectacular." Meng Su laughed.
"Come down and rest?" Yan San asked when she saw her butt moving back and forth on the saddle.
"Okay." Ling Qingyu nodded hurriedly, running all the way here, his buttocks were sore.
The following transactions were carried out very quickly, and after a while, I saw the people below walking back with two horses each.
When the horse team approached the sand dunes, Yan San asked, "Meng Su, what is that?"
Meng Su raised his head, followed the direction of Yan San's finger, and saw a faint gray streak in the sky. Just as he was about to say it was nothing, he saw that grayish yellow expanding at an extremely fast speed.
Some people below started to shout, and the Dangxiang people all rode their horses and ran, and Du Ming also stood below and waved to them.
Yan San's hearing is good, and he said, "He's calling for a sandstorm."
Ling Qingyu got up as soon as he jumped, shit, can this happen
"Be careful, don't startle the horses and the cows, they will die." Ling Qingyu shouted.
Just for a while, the grayish-yellow dust turned around as if covering the sky and the sun, and the horses neighing and the cows below were already in chaos, but a few horses walking in front were startled and drove a group of horses to break free. The sand dunes rushed straight over here.
Yan San threw Ling Qingyu onto Meng Su's horse and said, "Take her away." He turned around and jumped onto his horse.
As soon as Meng Su caught the horse's stomach, he rushed to the other side. In terms of horsemanship, Meng Su was much higher than Yan San. Under such circumstances, Yan San's judgment was not wrong.
The horses behind rushed up very fast. Yan San only followed for a while before being rushed by the horses. He jumped up from the back of the horse that was directly knocked down, and saw Meng Su's horse in the air. Already far away from the horses and starting to turn, he looked away and bounced on the horse's back. (Students can imagine a large herd of horses rushing over, Yan San bouncing up and down on top, yes, that's it.)
Meng Su wrapped his cloak around him and held Ling Qingyu in his arms. The big black horse had already run fast, and then turned up from the sand dune to avoid the impact of the horse herd.
"Damn it." Hearing Meng Su scolded on his head, Ling Qingyu secretly pulled back a little of his cloak, and saw a bigger sandstorm coming from the side they ran over.
I didn't read the almanac when I went out! Ling Qingyu sighed in his heart, and then felt the big black horse staggered under him.
quicksand! Meng Su grabbed Ling Qingyu and jumped off the horse's back. The big black horse's legs were already trapped by quicksand, and it couldn't stop whining.
Fortunately, it was only the quicksand caused by the excessive wind speed. Meng Su breathed a sigh of relief, and whistled a few times to the big black horse to keep it from struggling or sinking deeper and deeper. Then he put his shoulder on the big black horse's belly, It tops out.
Holding Ling Qingyu and getting on the horse again, the vanguard of the sandstorm had already struck, the visibility was already extremely low, and the quicksand flow in the sand dunes was getting stronger and stronger, so Meng Su rode his horse to the other side.
The two sandstorms were cemented together, and the sky and the earth were in a daze. The sky was full of sand and dust, and nothing could be seen.
Meng Su ran for a while based on his feeling. The wind and sand became more and more violent, and the big black horse could no longer move forward. Meng Su got off the horse, let the big black horse kneel down, and hid behind the big black horse with Ling Qingyu in his arms.
The wind and sand were howling outside, Ling Qingyu was surrounded by Meng Su's cloak, and listening to his heartbeat, he miraculously calmed down.
"Hold tight!" Meng Su shouted loudly, and then wrapped his arms around her tightly. Ling Qingyu was taken aback, and subconsciously wrapped his arms around his waist.
The next moment, a huge wind hit, rolled up the two of them together with the big black horse, and ruthlessly moved towards the direction they were attacking.
Countless trees were uprooted, and a few clods of soil on the ground were also uprooted along with the vegetation, flying and hitting in the air.
Ling Qingyu was tightly protected by Meng Su, and the two were blown up and fell by the strong wind, and then fell again, rolled in the air and fell again.
Ling Qingyu fainted.
"Ahem." Shaking his head, Ling Qingyu opened his eyes. She was lying on Meng Su's body, and Meng Su's hands were still holding her tightly, but he was unconscious.
Ling Qingyu stretched out his hand to check his breath. Fortunately, he was angry and moved his body, trying to push Meng Su's hand away, but even though he was unconscious, his arms were as motionless as cast iron.
"Meng Su, Meng Su?" Ling Qingyu patted Meng Su's face lightly and called out.
"Hmm." Meng Su groaned, his long eyelashes trembled, and then slowly opened.
"Are you okay?" Ling Qingyu asked worriedly. Although she was in the chaos, she still knew that every time she fell, this man would let her back fall.
"Qing..." Meng Su smiled and said, "How are you?"
"I'm fine, let me go first." Ling Qingyu was relieved to see that he could speak, and smiled.
Meng Su was taken aback for a moment, and then the iron arm loosened.
Ling Qingyu climbed off him, and said, "Show me, are you injured?"
Meng Su shook his head and said, "I'm fine, the head of the house, take a look, where are we?"
Ling Qingyu looked around. This place is no longer the landform when they came here. This is a dry meadow. The grass on the ground is already withered and yellow, and the land is also dry and cracked. He shook his head and said, "I don't know where this is."
Meng Su sat up on the ground with his hands on his hands, looked around, and said in his heart that the sound was not good. This blowing, I am afraid that it will be blown out for a hundred miles. Here, it should have entered the depths of Dangxiang territory.
Seeing him sitting up, Ling Qingyu poked his head to look at his back, and saw that the thick cotton coat had been frayed, revealing his bloodstained back.
"Hiss." Ling Qingyu felt the pain for him, and said, "Wait a minute, I'll go and see if there is any water."
"Don't go, master." Meng Su shouted, seeing that she was still walking forward, put her hands on the ground, stood up, took a deep breath, and quickly caught up with her, saying: "I'm afraid here You have already entered the territory of the party, don't go alone."
Ling Qingyu carefully supported him and said, "Okay, let's go together."
