Li Hongji was lying prone on Ulan Sobud's back. He supported the ground with both hands and pressed lightly on Ulan Sobud's body. He was shocked for a while, and he didn't know what to do.
"Gege, Gege..." When Lan Lan saw Ulan Sobud fall, Li Hongji was still pressing on her, and her heart was anxious. She slammed on her horse and rushed towards the place where they fell.
Lan Lan didn't have time to jump off the horse, and with a "call", the small whip in his hand slammed towards Li Hongji's hip.
Li Hongji said "Ouch", rolled off Ulan Sobud, and stroked the whiplash on his hip with his left hand.
Ulan Sobud woke up, she turned over and found Li Hongji rolling on the ground, while Lan Lan held a riding whip and looked angrily.
"Gege, are you okay?" Mei Mei also rushed forward.
"I'm fine, Mongolian women are not so delicate yet. Isn't it common to wrestle and ride horses?" Ulan Sobud glared at Lan Lan, but his eyes turned to Li Hongji.
Li Hongji slowly got up from the ground, still stroking his hip with his left hand.
Ulan Sobudd had no expression on his face: "How are you?"
"It's okay, it's okay." Li Hongji said as he touched his buttocks again.
Ulan Sobud gave Lan Lan a fierce look again: "I want you to be troublesome!"
Lan Lan shivered with fright, and quickly retreated to the back of the crowd.
Li Hongji felt uneasy, and he came to Ulan Sobud: "Gege doesn't have to blame him, I'm fine."
"You need to take care of it!" Ulan Sobud raised his face and gave Li Hongji a hard look. "You are not a good person either."
"Hehe!" Li Hongji smiled wryly, "Gege, shall we ride a horse or walk?"
"Riding." Ulan Sobud turned around, took the rein from Mei Mei's hand, and flew onto the horse, "Drive!" She slammed her whip on the horse's hip.
Li Hongji felt like he touched his buttocks subconsciously, causing everyone to laugh.
He also stepped on the horse, but he couldn't bear the force on his hips, and he dared not push the horse.
Ulan Sobud ran for a while, but did not hear the sound of horse hooves behind her, she secretly looked back, and Li Hongji was far behind. She tightened the rein of the horse and slowed it down.
Lanlan and Meimei caught up first, "Gege, where are we going?"
Ulan Sobud did not answer, she looked up at the sky, the sun was already close to the top of her head, "Let's rest first! I ran for the whole morning, and I was hungry, so I started to eat.
The three of them got off their horses, and Li Hongji came over, "Gege?"
"I'm hungry, eat dinner, aren't you hungry?" Ulan Sobud did not look at Li Hongji.
"I'm really hungry." Li Hongji looked up at the sun, followed the direction of the sun, and chased Ulan Sobud's face. There was a faint layer of ice on Ulan Sobud's face.
Li Hongji didn't think about it. He was Daming's messenger. Although Ulan Sobud was Grid, he was responsible for receiving and accompanying him. "Gege, where is lunch? Why can't I see it?"
"That's stupid! Isn't it on horseback?" Ulan Sobud snorted, and then she snickered, "Go Meimei, he's a man, clumsy."
Meimei opened the package on Li Hongji's horse, and skillfully found a large piece of cooked beef and a pot of water from it, while Lanlan went to the nearby ground to look for weeds and dead wood.
Three fires arose on the ground. Li Hongji sat around Ulan Sobud, Lanlan, and Meimei. Ten of Li Hongji's entourage lit two bonfires.
Meimei skewers the cooked beef with dead wood and handed it to Li Hongji: "Hongji, the beef is cold. Let's grill it on the fire!"
Li Hongji imitated them, spreading the cooked beef over the bonfire.
Ulan Sobud looked at it for a while, and couldn't help but: "It's stupid, I can't roast beef." She snatched the beef from Li Hongji's hand and roasted it on the flame.
"Gege, is there anything special about this?" Li Hongji had roasted some beef and lamb.
"We divide the flames into three layers. The higher the top, the higher the temperature of the flames. But the top of the flames has the most soot. The beef will have a burnt smell after being roasted for a long time. This is cooked beef. It will not take long. Roast, as long as it is hot, it should be placed in the middle of the bonfire." Ulan Sobud said, while constantly tumbling the beef.
Presuming that the beef was already hot, she stretched out five slender fingers and gently kneaded the hot beef, "It's hot outside, but it's still hard inside, it's not hot yet." She seemed to be talking to herself. It also seems to be teaching Li Hongji.
When the beef is hot inside and out, Ulan Sobud took out the salt and pepper, sprinkled it evenly on the beef, and roasted it for a while to allow the salt and pepper to fully penetrate the beef.
She handed the beef to Li Hongji, "Hey, try it first to see if you have enough salt and pepper."
Li Hongji took the withered stick, opened his mouth and took a bite of the beef, "Yes, the salt and pepper is right, the grill is also hot, and the craftsmanship of Grid is good!"
Ulan Sobud lowered his head, but his eyes were staring at the campfire in a daze.
"Gege, what about you?" Li Hongji remembered that Ulan Sobud had already said that he was hungry, but now she just had to roast beef for herself, but she couldn't eat it.
"Gege, eat this first!" Lan Lan glared at Li Hongji again, but handed a small piece of hot roasted beef to Ulan Sobud's hand.
Ulan Sobud was also not polite, grabbed the beef and stuffed it into his mouth, while complimenting vaguely: "Well, yes, Lanlan's craftsmanship is good, but... just a little irritable sometimes." After that, she still said Take a look at Li Hongji.
Li Hongji is from Shaanxi Mizhi and is used to eating beef and mutton, but today he ate authentic roast beef. The taste is very positive, fresh and greasy, spicy and spicy. His mouth is full of beef. See Ulanso Bude looked at himself meaningfully, and had to vaguely agree.
Eat beef, Li Hongji turned on the kettle and drank his saliva. The water in the kettle was already cold and almost frozen. When he drank it in his mouth, it happened to be two times hotter than the hot beef.
Li Hongji was so refreshed that he opened his mouth and spit out the air gently.
"I don't know if you are used to our Mongolian horse milk tea, so the kettle I gave you is filled with water... If you want horse milk tea, I have..." Ulan Sobud did not know what Li Hongji exhaled. I thought Li Hongji could not stand the cold water.
"It's okay, it's okay, cold water is best, it just cools the stomach."
"then you… "
"I have realized what is meant by the two heavens of ice and fire."
"Hahaha..." Ulan Sobud finally burst into a smile, "I forgot, you Han people are not used to spicy food."
"It's okay, I'm from the north, and I usually eat some spicy peppers. It doesn't get in the way." Li Hongji drank cold water again, his mouth no longer as cold and hot as before.
"Then can you get used to our Mongolian beef and mutton?"
Li Hongji thought for a while, "Maybe in a short time, but after a long time, I am definitely not used to it."
Ulan Sobud stopped talking.
After a short rest, everyone set off and ran to the southwest again. However, they did not run wild in the afternoon. Li Hongji’s hip injury had not healed and he could not run the horse for the time being. Besides, they had no fixed goal. They just wandered on the prairie. .
On the grassland in winter, there is really nothing to look at, unless you particularly like to see the remaining grass roots, especially like being raged by the cold wind.
"Gege, the Jimulun River is here." Lan Lan pointed forward.
Ulan Sobud looked in the direction of her fingers, and there was indeed a meandering river in front of it. The water of the river was blue and white. From a distance, it was very close to the surrounding grass roots, almost in harmony, if not thin. Look, I really thought it was a continuation of the grassland.
"Ah, Jimulun River!" Ulan Sobud screamed, she urged the little white horse away, leaving everyone alone, ran towards the river alone.
Lan Lan and Mei Mei also urged the war horses, and followed Ulan Sobud.
The Han people who are used to big rivers will never understand the nomads’ attachment to rivers and water plants, but Li Hongji still took his attendants and followed the pace of Ulan Sobud and ran towards the river.
Ulan Sobud jumped off the horse. Despite the cold weather, she ran to the river in a daze, first holding a handful of clear water and sprinkling it on her face.
Lan Lan was muttering to herself: "At this time in previous years, the river had frozen. This year is really strange. Not only has the river not frozen, but there hasn't been a heavy snowfall."
Meimei took the stubborn words: "Isn't it better if it doesn't freeze or snow? If it snows heavily, the animals will suffer again!"
Lan Lan can't tell, but she always feels something wrong, "It doesn't freeze when it should freeze, and it doesn't snow when it should snow. What's wrong with this longevity sky?"
Ulan Sobud has washed his face beautifully in the river water, and today’s depression has long been wiped out, "Hongji, the river is very clear, you should come down and wash your face too?"
"Hey," Li Hongji was really not interested in washing his face with ice water, but Ulan Sobud had washed it, and he felt nothing terrible, so he slowly approached the river and squatted down.
"Haha." Seeing Li Hongji cringed, Ulan Sobudd took a handful of clear water and sprinkled it on Li Hongji, leaving him all over his face.
"Beat!" The biting cold water fell on his face, and Li Hongji had a cold war, but Ulan Sobud was watching. He threw himself away and followed her, squatting on the river bank, holding up the water. Struggling to hit his face.
It was so numb that he didn't feel anymore. Li Hongji no longer felt cold on his face. He rubbed his face without feeling at all.
"Let's go, wash down, you will freeze." Ulan Sobud took Li Hongji's right hand and pulled him to the riverside.
The night outside the customs came very early, and without knowing it, the sun had disappeared from it. Li Hongji discussed with Ulan Sobud and camped on the Jimulun River.
Their packages all have a small tent. Lan Lan and Mei Mei first helped Ulan Sobud to set up the tent, and then put their own tent on the left side of Ulan Sobud.
Li Hongji propped his tent far to the right of Ulan Sobud.
"Hongji, what did you do with the tent so far?" Ulan Sobud poked half of her head out of her tent. She had already removed her turban, half of her long hair was flying freely in the evening breeze.
