Early the next morning, there was a ding-ding-dong sound outside. A Chong walked out of the tent and saw that many nearby households were demolishing their tents, and they looked like they were about to move.
A Chong raised his eyes and looked into the distance, and found that many families were demolishing tents in the distance. It looked like the entire tribe was about to migrate.
At this time, thin snowflakes fell in the sky again, and moving in such weather seemed a little weird.
Timur also got out of the tent and stood beside Achong and said, “Chagambara and the others think this place is not suitable for living, and they plan to move as a group. Several other tribes are also going to move with them.
Although Timur's words were very subtle, A Chong understood what the real reason Chagambara and the others moved.
A Chong hesitated and said, "Senior, can you discuss with them not to leave?"
Timur shook his head: "Chagambara and the others have already eaten the weight, and they can't pull the eight horses back."
A Chong looked at Timur and said, "If we leave, where will they stay?"
Timur looked at A Chong hesitantly, and A Chong returned with a firm look. Timur's eyes suddenly lit up: "I understand, are you trying to lead the snake out of the cave?"
A Chong nodded.
Timur's guess was correct. They must take the initiative to attack. They can no longer be so passive. They must find a way to draw the killer/hand out.
In fact, he has been considering the question of whether to stay or leave since last night:
Staying here can only put them in an increasingly dangerous situation. With so many people living near the camp, it is easy to get in. No one knows who the killer's next target will be, and there is no way to guard against it.
A Chong does not want more innocent people to be implicated. Although Chagambara didn't treat himself kindly, they didn't do anything wrong. Because they forced their entire tribe to migrate by themselves, it shouldn't.
After all, these killers are for themselves.
A Chong knew in his heart that as long as he left, the killer would definitely follow him. But once on the vast prairie, the killers have nowhere to hide, they become safe instead.
Even so, it meant that Timur and his people were isolated. But if they played head-on, A Chong didn't hold back them.
Now, A Chong is about to force these killers to take the initiative to reveal their traces.
A Chong knew in his heart that there was not enough time for the killer, and Professor Zhang must have set a deadline for them. If A Chong lived in this world for one more day, the threat to him would deepen.
Timur went to talk with Chagambara and others, and then nodded with A Chong. It seemed that the two sides had reached a consensus.
After a while, the Mongols who were about to relocate stopped demolishing their tents.
Timur had a few words with Surile and Ke and Naya, and the two nodded, and they separated to inform the tribe to prepare to migrate.
In fact, there are not many people from Tamerlane here. There are only 40 or 50 people in the entire camp. Many of them are young and middle-aged people who have come from various places to support in recent days. The families of most people are still scattered. On the grassland, there are very few cases of dragging the family and the mouth. This also makes their migration faster.
In less than half a day, Timur and the others had already dismantled the tent, and all the materials were packed in a dozen carriages and a few cars.
Timur gave an order, and the horse team began to drag the supplies slowly toward the depths of the snowy field.
Chagambara followed a dozen people and horses far behind, and after sending them for more than ten miles, he turned around and returned.
"Huh! This old guy doesn't worry about us yet!" Suzhilehe Ke said angrily.
Surele and K drove a pickup truck, and A Chong sat in the co-driver, and the back seat was modified to fit Ajislan’s hospital bed.
The long convoy traveled eastward on the snowy field at a very slow speed, and it only took a few dozen miles for a long time.
A Chong once suggested that Timur only leave a few people to accompany him, and other unrelated people return to their homes. The main target of the killer is yourself, there is no need for more people to take risks.
But Timur rejected the proposal. In his eyes, the Canglang clan has always shared honor and disgrace. At present, everyone should be the same enemy. Even if the strength is very different, no one will abandon the clan to live alone. They are all brave warriors, not greedy for life and death.
Seeing the old man’s resolute attitude, A Chong didn’t say much.
A Chong knew that although Timur had dozens of loyal fighters, they had no ability to fight back in front of well-trained professional killers.
A Chong secretly made up his mind to protect Naya and Ajislan's safety even if he tried desperately.
This time Timur had exposed the power of the wolf in order to save himself. The professor will not let him go easily. Now, it's your turn to protect them.
After walking for a long time, when they saw noon, everyone ate casually with dry food and dried meat. The team did not stop and still marched towards the east.
When it was getting dark in the evening, Timur gave the order to camp overnight.
Daiqin and Su Rile He Ke set up a huge iron pot, boiled water with dry wood, and put it in a pot full of beef and potatoes. Seeing this amount, it is enough for everyone to have a full meal.
Although Daiqin did not belong to Timur's tribe, he still insisted on following the team. Timur knew that he was obsessed with Naya and couldn't refuse him. In addition, Daiqin had been with Su Rile and Ke since he was a child, and his relationship was very deep, similar to half of his son, and he could be regarded as a member of the family.
When the tent was set up, a big pot of beef was already cooked, and the air was full of aroma. The tribesmen who had been on the run for a day gathered one after another, and everyone's faces were filled with joy.
Most people's clansmen don't know what the purpose of this migration is, but Timur has a high prestige among the clans, so no one has any questions about this "untimely" migration.
Timur first asked Naya to scoop a bowl of broth for the shepherd to drink, and after confirming that the food was okay, everyone began to feast on it.
After dinner, A Chong went to visit Ajislan in Tamerlane's tent. The young man recovered quickly and his health was no longer serious.
A Chong chatted with Timur for a while. The old man told A Chong that the destination of their migration this time was at the border of China and Mongolia, near Aershan and Xing'an Mountains. There is a branch of the tribe, and Ajislan's father is also there.
A Chong was startled, and spent many days with Timur, the old man kept silent about Ajislan's father. He once thought that Ajislan's father was dead, but he didn't expect the old man to mention him at this time.
Timur didn't seem to want to mention Naya's elder brothers, and A Chong didn't ask much, and after saying goodnight to the old man, he withdrew.
At this time, the night had fallen and the snow had stopped. There were only a few lonely tents left on the snowy field, and most of the traces of the people on the way were buried by the snow.
A Chong was patrolling around the tent. Although he was fine all day long, he couldn't relax his vigilance. This professional killer/handman was out of sight, and no one knew when he would reappear. The night is often the best time for a sneak attack.
The bonfire in the distance was still glowing dimly. Naya was sitting in front of the fire and grooming the white dog. Seeing A Chong approaching, Naya greeted him with a smile.
Ah Chong walked to the fire and sat down, the two of them were relatively speechless.
After a while, the white dog nestled on Naya came over and licked A Chong's fingers with his tongue, trying to break the silent deadlock.
"She likes you!" Naya looked at A Chong and said, with a smile on her lips.
A Chong didn't seem to understand the meaning of this sentence, he hesitated and asked: "Naya, where are your brothers? Why did the predecessors never mention them?"
Naya was startled for a moment, the smile on her face slowly disappeared, her two big beautiful eyes looked at the jumping firelight, and she said softly, "Abba doesn't want to mention them. Abba thinks they are a shame to the family."
A Chong was stunned for a moment. He knew there was something hidden in it, but he didn't expect this result.
"Actually, I don't think the eldest brothers are bad guys. They just want the people to live a better life without suffering on the grassland."
Naya lowered her head and said softly, and slowly told A Chong about the deeds of her elder brothers.
It turned out that there were four elder brothers on Naya, the first is called Asgen, the second is Chigeqi, the third is Wuenqi, and the fourth is Degexi.
The four brothers are of the same age and are equally strong, especially the eldest brother Asgen, who has been brave and courageous since he was a child, and is well-known as a teenager. The four brothers are called the Four Masters of the Grassland, and the old man has high hopes for them.
Unexpectedly, Asgen's thoughts gradually changed after he grew up. Traveling around all the year round broadened Asgen's vision. In addition, he often does business with the Han people, and has come into contact with all kinds of people. Under their influence, Asgen's mind has become more and more alive. No longer as old-fashioned and traditional as old people.
After seeing the world of drunken gold fans, Asgen is no longer willing to be a poor herder, but wants to make a lot of money to change the life of the family.
For him, money is everything. As long as he can make money, he doesn't care how the money comes from, whether it is clean or dirty.
There was a serious conflict between the concepts of the father and son. After a few big quarrels, Asgen ran away angrily, and went out to get fucked by himself. He didn’t know what he did. He made a lot of money within a few years. Return to the clan with various valuable gifts to visit relatives, friends and elders. He also brought back his newborn son, Ajislan.
The two talked in the yurt for a long time. For some reason, Timur suddenly became furious and threw out all the gifts that Asgen brought back. If it weren't for the other brothers to stop him, the old man would even use a saber to stab Asgen.
In desperation, Asgen ran away from home again, and this time, he took the other brothers away. But his newborn son, Arislan, stayed with Timur.
At that time, Naya was still young, and she didn't know why her brother quarreled with Abba. Later, when she was older, she vaguely heard of the reason. It turned out that Asgen's money came from wrong, and he made his fortune by smuggling.
In fact, smuggling is no stranger to them. It is normal for the nomadic Mongolians to exchange goods with outsiders. Even Surele and Ke often use cattle and sheep to go north to exchange for cigarettes, liquor, guns, ammunition and the like. Everyone does not think there is anything wrong with doing so. .
But the goods they traded in Asgen were very special—the burial goods of the dead.
They made their fortune by digging their graves.
Timur believes that doing this kind of thing is unreasonable and unreasonable.
But Asgen thought that it would be useless to bury the dead in the ground anyway. It would be better to exchange money for the living to lead a better life. Obviously, his three brothers were also bewitched by Asgen.
After Asgen left with his brothers, an angry Timur vowed not to recognize these beasts as sons again, and threatened to never allow them to step into the house, so as not to tarnish the reputation of the tribe.
A few years later, there was news that the four Asgen brothers had an accident during the tomb robbery. Except for Asgen, the other three brothers were killed.
After learning of this, Timur closed the door and cried. From then on, the sad old man kept silent about the names of the four brothers, and instead devoted all his heart and energy to his little grandson Ajislan.
Asgen, who was ashamed in his heart, never returned to the grassland.
