We climbed in the grass and felt the wind blowing down the slope, and it was a little chilling. We wanted to hear what they were saying, but we couldn't hear clearly. We could only hear the conversation between two men.

I carried the rifle on my shoulders, grabbed the weeds and slowly slipped down the slope, and the logs followed me. After we slipped under the steep slope, we saw a shallow cave on the cliff, and the two of us lived inside. It turned out that they were talking.

They were talking about the names of some medicinal materials, sometimes talking about rust iron rods, and sometimes talking about Cistanche. I have heard of the names of these medicinal materials and know their efficacy. People living in the Guanzhou have only seen ordinary medicinal materials such as Yuanzhi, Fengfeng, Bupleurum, Scutellaria baicalensis, etc., while rust iron rods and Cistanche are precious medicinal materials that grow on the edge of grasslands and deserts. Their effect is to strengthen aphrodisiacs. Soak the rust iron rods, Cistanche, red dates, and wolfberry in a certain proportion, and drink them in wine. After ten days, they can cure impotence. In the past, I often saw the owner of the calligraphy and painting shop in Baoxing County drinking this orange-red thing. He showed off to others that every time he finished drinking, his vigor was still as strong as before.

The two of them are medicated diggers.

I walked over to say hello to them. They were surprised by my uninvited guest at midnight. I said I was on the way, and then I told them about the effects of rust iron rods and Cistanche. The scientific name of rust iron rods is Suoyang. In addition to rust iron rods and Cistanche, I also talked about the medicinal materials in the Central Plains. Although I had never picked medicinal materials when I was a child, I often came back to work with his son. I would always bring back a handful of Yuanzhi, such as Fengfeng. Yuanzhi and Fengfeng were both mining roots, so their roots had medicinal value. Yuanzhi and Fengfeng were cores in the middle, and the cores needed to be removed. Fengfeng had no cores, but the price of Fengfeng was much lower than Yuanzhi. Yuanzhi and Fengfeng were both ordinary medicinal materials, used for ordinary typhoid fever to reduce phlegm. They could be harvested on the plains and hillsides, not as rare as rust iron rods and Cistanche, and had unique effects.

The medicinal materials suddenly brought us closer. They took out their cigarette pips for us to suck. I waved my hand and asked if they had seen anyone passing by here.

They said that last night, someone rolled down the hillside and then had a gunfight in the valley, and bullets flew around like fireflies. They were so scared that they dared not speak out or go out. After dawn, they saw a man dying in the valley.

I asked in surprise: "Who died?"

They said that it was a man in black, with a spear on his chest thrust.

I let out a long sigh. I knew that the spear head mentioned by the herbal man was the dart of the swallow. In the darkness, the swallow could judge the other party's position by the sound of gunfire, and then successfully threw it. It was indeed very skillful. I continued to ask: "How many people are chasing? How many people are running?"

They said that it was dark and they couldn't see clearly, and they didn't know how many people were fighting.

I asked, "What happened later?"

They pointed to the distance and said that the people later ran far along the valley.

It has been a day and a night since Yanzi and the others left here, so we have to chase after him quickly. I asked, "Where can you walk along the valley?"

Two herb collectors said that the valley was arc-shaped, and after turning a semicircle, it went up the grassland from the front. If you take a shortcut and go up the slope, you will avoid many detours.

Log asked: "Is there a yurt nearby?"

The herb collector said: "After going up the slope and walking more than ten miles northeast, you will have a yurt."

Log blinked and looked at me, and I knew what he was thinking. Swallow and the pursuers were walking, and we stole a horse and rode it on, and we could catch up with them soon.

We climbed up the other slope and saw the boundless field ahead. Countless flowers as dense as stars shaking in the night wind, and shining with the stars as dense as flowers in the sky. This beautiful scenery makes people deeply intoxicated, but I remember the swallows in my heart, just want to find him as soon as possible.

We walked three or four miles in the sea of ​​flowers and came to a road. The so-called road on the grassland is actually two ruts that the lord cart has been crushed by a lord. The lord is a wooden cart pulled by a cow, and is called "flying on the grass" on the grassland. The sky is vast and the wilderness is vast. The wind blows the grass to see cows and sheep. People on the grassland use meat as rice, milk as tea, horse as cart, and dogs as companions. The whole body of the cow is treasured, meat can be eaten, milk can be drinkable, skin can be kept from the cold, and manure can be burned. In the pass, cow dung is considered very dirty, but in the grassland, cow dung is an indispensable daily necessity for every household. In front of the yurt of each household, there are tall piles of cow dung, which is used for fuel. The cow dung barbecue is extremely delicious.

In the dry areas on the edge of the grassland, cow dung has another use, which is washing the pot and dish. The dry areas lack water. After eating, people are reluctant to wash the dishes with water, so they grab a handful of dry cow dung, turn around the pot and bowl, blow a mouthful of dung, and the pot and bowl will be clean.

Milk is a necessity for the life of grassland people. It is mainly used to make milk tea, yogurt, butter, milk skin and milk wine. Grassland without milk is like a village without water. Grassland people have a grand ceremony to milk. First clean your hands, burn an incense stick, and walk three times under the body and belly of the cow, then insert the incense in front of the cow, and then milk it. This ceremony is to express gratitude to the cow.

The various methods of making milk are limited to space, so I won’t go into details.

In the early years, in the pass, we often saw old men picking up manure, who picked up manure to make fertilizer; in the grassland, we often saw women picking up manure, who picked up manure as fuel. The grassland was short of fuel, and cow dung was the best firewood.

I walked along the road for a short time and came to a forest. Suddenly, I heard an unusual sound coming from the front. I crawled on the ground, listened with my ears, and heard the sound of horse hooves getting closer and closer, beating my eardrums like drum beats.

I said, "There is someone riding a horse in front of me."

Logo said happily: "Come whatever you want."

I untied the rope from my waist. The rope was originally for me to climb over the prison wall, but I didn't expect it to come in handy now. I tied the rope to the trunks on both sides of the truth and hid it in the woods with the logs.

As soon as we tied the rope, the horse arrived. With the help of the starlight, I saw a man riding on the horse's back, and his body was bumping and undulating as the horse ran. After the horse ran to us, it touched the rope and staggered down. The person on the horse was thrown away more than ten meters away.

The log ran over and grabbed the reins of the horse; I ran over and pressed the gun against the man who fell to the ground. He looked very young.

The man fell to the ground and couldn't get up. He shouted, "Good man, please spare me."

I asked, "What are you doing?"

The man said, "I am sending the letter."

I asked, "What letter should I send?"

The man said, "I'll go back to bring the rescue."

I was shocked. The two female bandit leaders were Yan Zi and the woman who could shoot. They were surrounded and encountered danger, so I would go and rescue them as soon as possible.

I asked, "Who are you?"

The man smiled flatteringly and said, "Like you, you have a beard." Under the moonlight, I saw his white teeth. The beard is a slander in the four northeastern provinces Heilongjiang, Jilin, Fengtian and Rehe, referring to bandits who robbed their families.

I asked, "I am Waihazi, are you a savage?"

He kowtowed and said, "Yes, yes, brother Zhao Ziliang, I am a slut, we are all sluts."

What I mean is, I am a beard from another place, are you a bandit who just joined the gang? He replied, yes, yes, my brother's eyes are bright, I am a beard who just joined the gang, and we are all a family.

This little bandit treated me as a family and told me about their experience of tracking swallows. A leader discovered two beautiful women, followed them all the way, and reported to the boss. The boss sent five bandits to rob two beautiful women. Unexpectedly, these two beautiful women were very skilled, and the two bandits fell on the way to track them. Later, the remaining three bandits drove the two beautiful women into a cave. Because they were afraid of their skills and did not dare to go in, they sent this girl back to move the troops.

The leader is the person who travels around the world to sell goods and guns for bandits.

I asked, "Where is that cave?"

Pi Zi said: "Along this road, walk forty or fifty miles, turn into the valley, and walk forty or twenty miles, it is the cave."

I said, "Everyone is a lie. We will help you catch these two Douhuazi and offer them to the boss. How about we join the group?" Douhuazi is a girl.

Pi Zi said, "That's good."
