Wang Baobao frowned: "Then I bought charcoal and pig iron for nothing."
Zhu Bai said: "You can still make a hatchet or kitchen knife yourself."
Wang Baobao pursed his lips: "Okay. Let's do this for now. After we occupy Guazhou, we can make the Yanling Sword there."
Zhu Bai was shocked: Damn, you bastard is really evil and wants to occupy Guazhou? !
Guazhou is an important link on the Silk Road. How could I let you have your wish? !
Besides, if you occupy Guazhou and accumulate enough people and weapons, you will come to attack the Ming Dynasty! !
At night, he dismantled a mace and used a piece of cowhide to make a wolf-proof collar for No. 7.
Although not strong enough, it is better than nothing.
In the morning Wang Tuotuo called Zhu Bai up and said, "Follow me to herd the sheep."
Zhu Bai narrowed his eyes and scratched his head: "No more milking goats?"
Wang Tuotuo blushed and rolled his eyes: "Don't think about always doing easy work."
Those sheep have been trained by him, so they can be replaced by others.
Zhu Bai understood, and while dressing and washing, he asked: "Where should I put it?"
Wang Tuotuo replied angrily: "Why are you asking so many questions? Just follow along."
Zhu Bai washed up, drank a bowl of goat's milk, took some dried meat, and called number seven.
Wang Tuotuo jumped on the horse.
Zhu Bai said: "Me."
Wang Tuotuo glared: "You prisoner, do you still want to ride a horse and follow my horse?"
Zhu Bai sneered: "Haha, then I won't go."
He turned and left.
Wang Tuotuo was annoyed, took his bow and arrow, and aimed at Zhu Bai's back: "Believe it or not, I will kill you, little Han bastard, with one arrow."
Zhu Bai turned around and looked at him coolly: "If you have the guts, shoot the arrow. Otherwise one day, I will make you pay the price for these words."
His eyes were so cold that Wang Tuotuo's horse subconsciously took a step back in fear.
Wang Tuotuo's face turned red with anger, and veins popped out on his neck.
Someone hurriedly called Wang Baobao to come out.
Wang Baobao rushed over to see the situation and scolded Wang Tuotuo: "Treason, what are you going to do? I told you that His Highness King Xiang is our distinguished guest."
Wang Tuotuo gritted his teeth and lowered his arrow.
A sarcastic smile appeared on Zhu Bai's lips.
Wang Baobao said: "Since you want him to herd sheep, give him a horse. Anyway, he doesn't know the direction and can't run out."
Wang Tuotuo could only point to the horse circle and said, "Okay, you can ride whichever horse you can."
Those horses are either sweat horses or Mongolian horses. They are all hot-blooded horses, strong, tall and brave, and should be kept away from strangers.
It is difficult for adult men to tame them, let alone a boy like Zhu Bai.
As soon as Zhu Bai entered the horse pen, he would be trampled to pieces by the angry horses.
Zhu Bai turned around and ran away.
Wang Tuotuo said to Wang Baobao: "Abu, look, it's not that I won't give it to him. It's that he is too timid to ride."
Before he finished speaking, Zhu Bai came back again and walked towards the horse pen.
Before he even got close, the horses became restless, neighing uneasily, raising their front hooves, shaking their heads, and snorting at Zhu Bai, as if threatening and warning him.
Zhu Bai stood in front of the horse pen door and stretched out his hand.
An old white horse stretched its neck cautiously, sniffed the palm of Zhu Bai's hand, and then began to lick it.
Zhu Bai waited a moment, opened the door, moved his hand, and the old horse came out.
Zhu Bai closed the door, and the horse followed him to the place where the saddle was placed, licking his hand.
He took a saddle and put it on the horse, and then said in its ear: "Be good, and I will find the most delicious grass for you later."
Then he jumped up.
The horse was so frightened that it took a few steps back and forth, but did not knock Zhu Bai off.
Wang Tuotuo pointed at Zhu Bai: "You can't ride it. You must be cheating and drugging it."
Zhu Bai said: "Haha. Shame is a good thing."
Wang Baobao sighed: "A man should keep his word. Since he did it, you should keep your promise."
Wang Tuotuo pursed his lips, snorted reluctantly, turned around and left.
Zhu Bai shook his head and smacked his lips: "Naughty kid."
He called out to No. 7, who immediately followed him.
Someone opened the big sheepfold over there, and the sheep floated out of the sheepfold like clouds and drifted into the depths of the grassland.
Zhu Bai followed Wang Tuotuo slowly on his horse and walked into the green ocean.
Endless as far as the eye can see, once the wind passes, there are waves.
Looking at the place where the deep green carpet meets the blue sky in the distance, even the impetuous heart will feel relaxed and calm.
Wang Tuotuo suddenly sang a long Mongolian tune, which was long, slow, and extremely pleasant to the ear.
Mongolians are good at singing and dancing, and they can also sing long tunes freely.
His long, trembling voice made the world seem more vast and surprisingly harmonious, as if this voice had been there since the prairie existed.
Although Zhu Bai didn't understand it, he thought it should be a song praising this beautiful scenery.
He could now understand those who couldn't help shouting when they ran to the mountains, deserts or seaside.
In the vast natural scenery, people will feel small and want to prove their existence to nature.
Even leaving a little sound and movement will do.
The further they walked toward less crowded areas, the deeper the grass became.
Finally we reached a place where the grass was so deep that the sheep ran into it and disappeared. Only the sheep who stretched their necks curiously upon hearing the movement occasionally showed their heads.
Only now could Zhu Bai understand the meaning of "the wind blows and you can see cattle and sheep on the grassland".
What are those Inner Mongolia grassland tours I signed up for before? Tourists came one after another, trampling the grass all bare. Being able to cover their feet with no mud visible makes those people extremely happy, saying "I've arrived at the grassland" while taking pictures.
At that time, Zhu Bai thought how could the grass be taller than cattle and sheep?
An adult sheep is 60 to 70 centimeters tall, and an adult cow is about 1.2 to 1.5 meters tall.
Even if he lowers his head to eat grass, doesn’t the cow still have to be one meter tall?
Can grass grow up to one meter?
Wouldn’t it just become a small tree?
Now he realizes that where there are no people, the grass can indeed grow taller than him.
The grass here is particularly young and lush.
There should be a water source not far away.
Wang Tuotuo pointed at Zhu Bai and threatened: "You are not allowed to come down."
Zhu Bai understood that Wang Tuotuo was afraid that he would not be found if he hid in the bushes. He was a little dumbfounded and said, "Use your brain and think about it. If I want to run away, would it be faster to run away on horseback than to hide in the bushes?" Woolen cloth?"
Wang Tuo rubbed his neck: "No matter, you are not allowed to come down anyway."
Zhu Bai sighed and said, "I can go to higher places."
Wang Tuotuo: "Not allowed. Otherwise, who would come to see the sheep?"
Jubber rolled his eyes, put his fingers in his mouth and whistled.
No. 7 started running happily, barking "woof, woof" and driving the stray sheep back.
Zhu Bai could almost hear its voice: It’s so happy to herd sheep!
I am a sheepdog! !
This is my real job! !
Wang Tuotuo was stunned: "Mom, it turns out it can still be used in this way."
Zhu Bai saw a hillside not far away and walked there.
Wang Tuotuo followed him and shouted: "Don't run away, or I will shoot you through with an arrow."
