Chapter 187 Grassland
In a blink of an eye, a few days passed.
December 14.
The Yixi Plateau is full of sunshine, blue sky and white clouds, but there is still unsowed snow on the ground.
The grassland is not endless, but it is also vast. It is just that the hills with gentle curves are rolling and undulating, blocking people's sight. If you climb up the hill, it is truly impossible to see at a glance, until the sky is still the grasslands are rolling and undulating.
There is nothing to see in the grasslands in this season. There is neither eye-catching green nor various wild flowers all over the mountains. There is only the withered wild grass and the land exposed after the grass is eaten up by cattle and sheep.
A small brick house is located at the foot of the hill. It is a very small house, which seems to be just a temporary residence. There is a circle of fences in front of the house. The fence has been opened and the ground is full of footprints of cattle and sheep that have been stepped on.
Then, pulling the picture away, a herder wrapped in a thick cotton robe was riding a horse and driving cattle and sheep with wooden branches. He was surrounded by a yellow dog, not a Tibetan mastiff, but just an ordinary Chinese pastoral dog. He was not big enough and could not be called a mastiff.
"Cry!"
A loud eagle crow came from the sky, as if piercing the sky, scaring the large group of cattle and sheep on the ground into panic.
The local dog was also startled and stood on a small landblock and looked up at the sky.
An eagle was soaring against the background of the blue sky, constantly hovering, and the sharp hawk eyes seemed to be scanning this direction!
The yellow dog was startled for no reason, and immediately clamped his tail and shrank his head and made a whimpering sound of begging for mercy.
The herder next to him was stunned for a moment, turned to look at his dog, and couldn't help but smile: "I have grown on the grassland since I was a child, and you were actually scared by an eagle!"
The yellow dog still lowered his head and looked frightened.
The herder shook his head, looked up at the sky, but muttered to himself: "I'm afraid it's going to rain."
This is a man in his thirties and forties. His ultraviolet rays are very strong on the plateau all year round, and his skin has already tanned. The wind and rain come at once, making his face full of wrinkles and his lips a little cracked.
A few days ago, it snowed heavily on the grassland. The grass that his cattle and sheep had been eating. Today, it was finally clear and the snow melted a little. He quickly drove the cattle and sheep out to let them eat more grass to reduce the consumption of hay. But if it suddenly rains or snows again, it would be a little difficult to fix. He had to try his best to let these guys eat more at this time, otherwise the mountain would be blocked by heavy snow, and one or two cows would have to starve to death.
Well, it’s just a bit of meat when you starve to death!
...
The eagle god is still hovering in the sky.
After all, he hadn't gone to those uninhabited areas. The reason he gave himself was: the people in this place were already scarce enough to avoid having to go far.
The Eagle God has been fighting against the rules of this world these days. He is already very tired, so he took advantage of the weather today to come out to relax... and by the way, he can find out if there are any things to grind his teeth and let him enjoy it.
Yes, he is hungry again.
Three days have passed since his last time eating, and his second failure to fight hunger and appetite!
"The biggest enemy is indeed himself..."
Three days ago, the Eagle God caught a sheep on the grassland and baked it by himself. His dignified Eagle God is so powerful and barbecue is so simple to him. He easily cooked the lamb, and even exceeded the standard! However, it was not delicious. He vomited after just two bites! At this time, even if he looked down on these mortals, he had to admit that these mortals still have advantages, such as making barbecue for him such a noble god.
At this time, the Eagle God also saw the flock of cattle and sheep on the ground and the mortals who were driving cattle and sheep. His eyes lit up and gradually approached the mortals.
There is food where there are people!
But there was a place that made him a little embarrassed - this mortal didn't seem to be barbecuing, how could he let this mortal cook for him? He was a dignified eagle god, of course he could not ask for a humble mortal, that wouldn't be a beggar? He could not steal, nor could he be coerced and tempted! The price was lost, it was too much!
Just as he was hovering, he found that the mortal riding horse turned his head and seemed to be ready to go back.
"Why do you want to run away?"
"What's going on with this mortal!"
The eagle god frowned and glanced at the horizon inadvertently. He realized that a group of dark clouds had gathered in the horizon at some point, and the wind was gradually increasing. The weather on the grassland changed at any time!
The mortal man raised his head, covered his eyebrows with his hands and looked at him, and then muttered to himself something.
The wind was too strong, and the Eagle God couldn't hear his words clearly.
The dark clouds gradually floated over, and the Eagle God felt that it was really raining, which made him feel a little disappointed.
When the herders driving cattle and sheep turned back to the sky, the eagle in the sky was gone, which made him feel a little emotional: "I thought that if the eagle didn't return to the nest, it would fall down later when it rained. I could pick it up and sell it for a good price!"
Suddenly, he turned his head and saw a figure on the hill next to him, staring at him.
He was stunned.
After a while, he waved the wood branch and shouted, "Hey! That person! Who are you? Why did you come here?"
The man did not answer him.
He was a little puzzled, so he rode his horse to the hill and soon arrived in front of the man.
The Eagle God stared at him coldly - this mortal actually wanted to pick up his dignified Eagle God and sell it, and he didn't want to live anymore!
So Bo was a little stunned. In his opinion, the person wearing a windbreaker in front of him was really strange, like a tourist. But this place is not an open scenic spot. On the contrary, it is so remote that almost no one can come here.
"Why did you come here? This is my ranch." He continued to ask.
The Eagle God was still staring at him coldly - where did he go as a dignified Eagle God need to obtain the consent of a mortal?
"You guy! Why don't you talk? You're dumb?" So Bo was a little unhappy. "I asked you why you came here. It's very far from the road. Are you lost?"
The face of the Eagle God suddenly became even colder - a mere mortal dared to offend him so much. If it hadn't been for an agreement with that person, he would have let the lowly mortal die long ago!
"Hey? He's really a mute! He can't be deaf, right?" Suo Bo murmured to himself, and then gestured to the Eagle God, "Are you lost? There's no car, you've been here for a long time? Are you hungry, thirsty, or tired? Go back to my house with me, have a meal, drink some butter tea, I have a motorcycle, I'll take you to town later on."
The Eagle God narrowed his eyes, and there was already obvious anger in his eyes!
This mortal not only said he was mute, but actually said he was deaf... Wait! Eat? What food? And what kind of butter tea is, is it similar to milk tea?
He nodded decisively: "Okay!"
So Bo was stunned when he heard this: "Hey, you are not a mute or a deaf? Then why didn't you speak just now? You must think I am a bad person! Hahaha, don't worry, go home with me!"
The Eagle God followed him without saying a word.
Su Bo was bored, but he only thought he had been lost for too long and was a little scared.
"Can you still move? Do you want to drink some butter tea?"
"Hmm?" The Eagle God slightly raised his head and looked at him calmly.
"That's it! We Tibetans love to drink it the most, quenching thirst and hunger!" Sobo's Chinese language was a little bit crappy. As he spoke, he took out a big red thermos from his pocket next to the horse and threw it to the Eagle God, "Come on, just a whole bite!"
The Eagle God steadily took the thermos, twisted it and took a sip. The strange smell made him frown.
But it's quite novel.
He took a big mouthful before handing the thermos back to Suobo: "Take it, mortal."
Suo Bo was stunned and thought that this Han man was so strange.
After taking the thermos, he unscrewed the lid, wiped the bottle mouth with the cuff, and drank a large mouthful of it in his mouth.
Seeing this, the Eagle God suddenly expressed his expression: "This... this is what you have drunk!"
So Boli said for granted: "Yes! Otherwise, why would I take it with me?"
"Ke Ben...I've drunk it too!"
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, you don't have money!"
"This is not a matter of money!" The Eagle God said in a deep voice. He felt that he was offended again. How could a lowly mortal give him what he had drunk?
"It's okay, I don't mind!" Suo Bo said and pointed forward, "Did you see it? That's my family! There are yak meat and mutton, local bacon and good barley wine. Let's eat something before leaving!"
“…”
The Eagle God's face was gloomy. For the sake of that person, he decided to forgive the mortal for the time being.
