The air cleaned by heavy snow had a sweet smell. Although it was cold, it was very energetic. The scenery around was beautiful, and with the little wolf that had just grown silver hair, a group of young hunters, colorful girls, the scenery could be used in the painting. The only drawback was that the young people had no prey in their hands. This was not because of their poor shooting skills. From the moment they left the camp gate to the moment they ran away, Ganluo began to stick out his tongue and gasped, no prey appeared in their sight.

"Maybe it was because of the recent hunting that scared away all the beasts around the tribe!" Eru gently twisted her nose, and the smile on her face was as bright as the sunshine after the first snow.

"Thousands of people took turns to hunt, and no matter how brave the beast is, he will move quickly!" Xu Dayan made a joke that was not very clever. When Eru was around, his wisdom always declined rapidly. Sometimes the degree of "stupidity" he showed can even be compared with Li Xu.

"It's better for everyone to go farther and try their luck at the Crescent Lake. That lake does not freeze in winter, and when it's cold, there are always wild beasts looking for grass roots to gnaw on the lake!" Su Chuodur suggested loudly. So many people will definitely be secretly laughed at by the tribe members. Moreover, there is not much dry meat in their homes. If they kill sheep randomly, they will be scolded by the elderly in their family for being spoiled.

"There is already a distance from our camp there. Once we encounter the Soto Xi people, it will be a little trouble!" Among the people in the group, Aslan is the oldest and his opinion is the most serious.

Tao Kuobaosi, Duer and others stopped talking, and focused their attention on Xu Dayan's face. This person is a recognized wise man in the tribe, and his suggestions are the most influential in the entire team.

Xu Dayan saw the expectations in everyone's eyes, especially Li Xu. This good brother must have been holding it in a long time to wash away the shame of falling back. Looking back at the gentle and considerate Eru, his heart gradually became soft. After thinking about it, hesitated and said: "There should be no trouble. The distance between their camp and Crescent Lake is several times that of us. Even if we meet the Xi people who came out to hunt in the snow on the lakeside, the two sides don't know each other's background, and rational people will not easily cause trouble!"

"Okay, let's go to Crescent Lake and try to rush back before dark. Paddy is pregnant again, so I happened to collect some star iron by the lake (Note 1) and try to make a scimitar for the child when he is born in the future!" Aslan pondered for a moment and answered readily.

The time for his wife to get pregnant is good. If he gives birth to a boy, he hopes he is as smart as a husband and as good as his brother. Aslan, who wants to be a father, has the same look as when he heard that his wife was pregnant for the first time.

The harsh and changing climate on the grassland has always been a poor tribe, so women's conception and having children are the first-class joy in the eyes of herders than getting married and celebrating the old man's birthday. When everyone heard that Aslan's wife was pregnant, they surrounded him to congratulate him. After the congratulations, they also scolded him for not telling everyone earlier, otherwise he would definitely stay at home to take care of his wife in such a cold day. Who would dare to take him out to hunt with shame!

"It's only been more than twenty days? It's not a problem that can prevent her from acting. Besides, Paddy's body has always been strong, and she will exercise more, so she will not endure the pain of having a child in the future!" Aslan waved her hand and answered happily.

"It's only been twenty days, no wonder I didn't see Sister Pad's belly getting bigger. Aslan, how did you know that it's only twenty days? Have you asked Elder Etu to see it?" Tao Kuotuo clapped his hands and asked with wide eyes. Elder Etu is the oldest wise man in the entire tribe. He is responsible for all the complex and mysterious work such as sacrificial priests, medical treatment, and prescription of animals. Aslan said that his wife was pregnant for more than twenty days. In the eyes of the girl, this must be the conclusion drawn by Elder Etu and Changshengtian after communicating.

"This? No trouble, elder, I calculated it!" Aslan was a little embarrassed when asked, and began to scratch her scalp.

"How did you calculate it?" Tao Kuo's curiosity was suddenly hooked up, and his eyes were waiting even bigger than Xu Maogong's.

"Haha!" Duer, E fallen Tai, Ba Ximi and the other two laughed wildly, laughing while asking Aslan to answer this question seriously.

"Aslan, how did you calculate it? Don't hide your own personal information, teach everyone how to calculate it!" Duer covered his stomach and shrugged at Aslan.

"Oh my God!" Aslan was so questioned that she wanted to hit the wall. After a while, she blushed and explained: "This, this is a bit difficult. When you grow up, you will naturally understand!"

"It seems like you are much bigger than me!" Tao Kuo took off his silk and spitted, and a red cloud floated on his face. From the expressions of the crowd, she guessed that she must have made an extremely childish mistake. Otherwise, the smile on Duer and others would not be so weird. She remembered this expression deeply. When Sister Eru heard that she was going to get into the guest tent, she fled in panic, the smile on her face was no different.

Thinking of the embarrassment he felt in front of his sister that morning, Tao Kuo's "angry" was like a prairie fire. He turned his head to find Li Xu's trouble, but found that the dizzy boy and Xu Dayan were entangled with Eru, constantly asking him about the question about Xingxing Tie.

"The iron of the star is the iron stone given to the shepherd by immortality. You don't understand this, you are so stupid!" Tao Kuo gave a angrily.

"The master is knowledgeable, boy is very educated!" Li Xu hugged his chest with his hands, posing as a young scholar receiving guidance from a wise man. This is his trick to deal with Tao Kuo's silk through many days of practice. As long as he put out the scholar's poverty and pull a few more words, the barbarian girl will definitely run away in panic.

Sure enough, Tao Kuo gave up his silk and saw that Li Xu suddenly became a primary school student, and all his anger was frozen in his body in an instant. His eyes widened, and his teeth were so angry that they were itchy, but he just couldn't think of a good response.

"The air is warm by the Crescent Lake, and the snow has always melted as soon as possible. After being washed by snow, the original color of the stone is easily revealed. So today is a good time to find the iron of the star! Let's go faster and help Aslan find it together!" Duer was so angry that he even turned the topic elsewhere.

Aslan was wondering why Tao Kuo's silky face changed color in an instant. Seeing Duer suddenly struck a horse and left first, she suddenly remembered the joke about Fuli that had been spread throughout half of the tribe recently. She knew that his words "Waiting for you to grow up" had caused trouble, and she stuck out her tongue and rode her horse to chase Duer.

Seeing the other people running away, Tao Kuotui felt even more embarrassed. He wanted to use a horse whip to give the annoying stupid guy a punch on the head, but he was afraid that he would take a heavy move, so he never paid attention to him again. As he thought about it, his eyes began to be confused.

"We are living by the 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 shepherds did not have time to mine iron ore!" Eru looked at the boy who was like a kitten and a puppy bite in front of her, and smiled and lifted the reins of the horse, separated them between them.

"Aslan is now starting to accumulate iron of stars. On the day when Sister Padie gave birth to a son, she probably can almost get a scimitar. The men on the grassland have a good knife, just like an eagle growing wings! Let's speed up and don't be left behind by Aslan and the others!"

This is why Aslan wanted to find the Star Iron. Herders did not know how to mine. All iron tools were either bought from the Central Plains or collected the iron stones scattered on the grasslands during grazing. Although the black stones called Star Iron by the ancestors of the Celestial Man were small, they needed to make dozens or even hundreds of pieces to make a scimitar. However, the quality of the swords was excellent. The blades were sharper than those made of ordinary iron materials and had better toughness on the blade.

The only drawback is that the little thing is really hard to come by. Many herders may not be able to pick up enough materials to make a machete after wandering on the grassland for a whole year.

The group ran for more than seventy miles with laughter and laughter. The horses and people were sweating all over, but they didn't feel sleepy. 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 right in front of them.

It was an extremely beautiful lake. Whether it was the ignorant Li Xu or the knowledgeable Xu Dayan, he opened his mouth and gently exclaimed a sigh of praise when he saw the lake for the first time.

Beauty is not ordinary beauty. The rivers upstream are frozen for thousands of miles, and the rivers downstream are covered with snow. Only this lake, which is more than twenty miles in a radius, lying between the snowfields like a blue gem. The cold wind blows, and the smoke slanted and fog on the water surface is lingering, lingering, as if an immortal burns incense and strings in the blue waves.

Li Xu jumped off the horse, rushed to the shore of the lake in two steps, and reached out to pick it up on the smoke wave. A bone-thrusting Qihan immediately penetrated into his bone marrow.

"Ah, it's so cold!" Li Xu, who had been preparing to touch the warm water, shook his fingers and jumped to shout.

"Stupid, this water is just warmer than snow, so I see smoke coming out. If you throw a wild fruit in summer, you can pick it up in a moment and you can get ice fangs!" Tao Kuotui was so happy when he saw Li Xu being deceived, and pointed at the lake water with a horse whip to introduce it.

"How magnificent, amazing! If you don't come outside, you won't know that there is such a prosperous state in the world!" Xu Dayan closed his eyes and opened his arms on the horse's back. This journey is not only good, but it not only gained knowledge, but also found a practical opportunity for military tactics that he had been studying hard for many years. He also met several good friends and saw scenery he had never seen before.

Traveling thousands of miles is like reading thousands of books. The ancients are truly unlucky. Only by seeing this empty field can people arouse the pride in their hearts. Only in the thousands of miles of ice and snow can people see their dreams more clearly. Xu Dayan waved his arms, and his smile showed a bit of youthful recklessness.

"If it's summer, it's even more beautiful. Wild flowers are everywhere, and even the fish in the lake want to jump out and smell the flowers. If it's at night, the stars in the sky and the stars in the water are almost next to each other. If you don't look closely, you can't tell who is the reflection of who is!" Eru saw the guests admiring the grassland scenery so much, and introduced it with a bit of pride.

This lake once left countless beautiful memories for the girl. Last summer, she met Barkruo of the Pure Silt Ministry by the Lake. The young man was the youngest patriarch near more than a dozen sects. The wind was intoxicating throughout the summer, and the stars above her head were particularly bright.
