963.Chapter 963 (1)
In the prairie, this line of work is called walking horses, because the prairie is vast and endless, you can live without a car, you can do without a motorcycle, but you can't live without a horse. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info In fact, the line of walking horses is similar to the mountain in the thief door. Horses are all about experience, and the prairie is vast, but you can't walk anywhere.
Not to mention that Inner and Outer Mongolia are now two countries, and there are a number of forces on this steppe, and there are more than a dozen horse gangs alone; except for the Dongmeng horse gang, which used to be loyal to the Northeast and thieves, the other horse gangs have their own territory, what is a horse gang? If it sounds good, it is a horse merchant on the salt road, but if it is not good, it is not a bandit who robs houses? Can you pass by casually from others?
In addition, the prairie looks peaceful and quiet, in fact, there may be some danger hidden under the dense green grass, maybe it is a swamp that will never recover, maybe there are deadly poisonous insects and poisonous snakes hidden underneath, maybe there is a wolf's den in the depths of this grassland. By the way, the most lethal thing on the grassland has to be said to be the worm, the worm likes a cold and damp environment, day and night, full of poison, generally in the interior can also be seen like a finger as long, but in the vast grassland, this worm is surprisingly long, some can be half a meter long, long like a long worm, full of spots, let it steal a bite and immediately call you to see the king of Hades.
Horse-walkers have this ability, and where they go, they can judge where the nearby dangers are hidden, and the horse-walkers have friendships with several forces on the grassland, as long as they are not mortal enemies, they will give some face.
The old man not only has a good memory, but also is kind, and he will not ignore anyone who needs help wherever he goes.
The Centaur Walkers are not the horse bandits in the traditional sense of the word, they are all independent, they are all lonely, they are lone rangers. Often a person builds a yurt in the depths of the grassland, and lives for a year and a half, and you have to look for him, either the owner or a heavy employer.
Nearly 20 years have passed since this happened, and it was the late stage of the Cultural Revolution, and many educated youths came to the grassland. One winter, a female intellectuals in the nearby ranch suddenly had a serious illness, the medical conditions at that time were not as good as now, the ranch was not open to traffic, the girl was too sick to ride a horse, helpless, two male intellectuals carried a pot of wine to ask the stick master to help see.
Bang Ye still remembers very clearly, that night there was goose feather snow in the sky, and they held a diesel lamp against the snow and walked more than ten miles to reach the Zhiqing Ranch.
"When I went, the girl was almost dying, her whole body was very swollen, and there were small blisters on the surface of her skin, which were stinky when she was pierced. Bang Ye recalled.
"Oh, it must have been bitten by a tabby worm. "Yun Qiang is a grassland man, he was naughty when he was a child, and he was bitten by this poisonous insect, so he recognized the toxicity of this thing.
"Hadron is right, the poison of the tabby worm is not actually dead, but I suspect that the girl was bitten by a decades-old worm, and the poison is stronger than I have ever heard of. ”
Wushuang asked him, "Then you saved her later?"
"Save it, you must save it, a good girl, even if you don't give me wine, I'll be saved. Bang Ye lit the old man's cigarette and opened the conversation.
The tabby worm is rare in the grassland, not that it is rare, but this poisonous insect generally lives at a depth of about one meter underground and feeds on earthworms in the soil. The living conditions on the grassland are limited, and there is not much to eat, so the educated youths have grown some food in the pasture, which can basically be enough for them to eat and drink every year, but at that time it was the ****** period in China, and people were very blindly patriotic. At the end of the year, they turned in all the grain they had gathered for the year, and in the end, there was not even a drop of rice left for the New Year.
A few hungry intellectuals had no choice but to learn from the Red Army of the Long March to gnaw tree bark and eat grass roots to survive. The female intellectuals turned forward to dig up a kind of grass roots called sharp hairy grass to eat. This grass belongs to the most common in the savannah, the leaves are inedible and astringent. But the roots were still chewy, and they were squeezed dry and wrung out of the vegetable pulp, which could also be boiled into sharp noodles, which was delicious under the conditions of the time, although it did not taste good.
No, the educated youth dug too deep, and the big worm hibernation was dug out by her, can she not bite her? Fortunately, there are two companions around her, and she found the stick master as soon as possible, otherwise she would not have been saved.
The poison of the tabby worm needs a herb called Ghost Sorrow to detoxify, Ghost Sorrow is extremely poisonous, and other herbaceous plants do not grow near this poisonous weed. It is also known as extinct grass by the locals.
But this female intellectuals were bitten by a big tabby worm, maybe ordinary ghost sorrow is not enough to detoxify her, and ghost sorrow This poisonous weed is difficult to find in winter.
Bang Ye first helped her squeeze the venom out of the wound, which can only solve the urgent need, for the time being, in a day or two, she can use other anti-inflammatory herbs to wipe her body to maintain, but it will definitely not last for two days, and after two days, the result will be the same if you can't find the desperate grass.
Several educated youths were anxious to kneel down for the stick master, do you think, at that time, there was such a girl in the whole ranch more than ten educated youths, that is not a treasure, can the boys not feel distressed?
Bang Ye said that this is the ninth winter, not to mention the grass, the grassland is a dry place, not even a little green, even if I have the heart to save her, there is no way?
Unlike other Chinese herbs, it can't be dried and kept, it's a poisonous weed, as long as it's picked, it must be taken within a day, otherwise it's no different from withered grass.
What to do?
Bang Ye suddenly remembered that there was a large mountain range not far north of this pasture, and this mountain was like a barrier, blocking all the cold air on the grassland, so the valley was like spring all year round, and maybe he could try his luck. It's just that although this mountain is not far from him, he has never been there.
From the perspective of Han Feng Shui, the geographical location of this mountain range is not good, the surrounding peaks are curved, and the valley inside is curved, just like a basin that is upside down on the ground, the valley is warm, but the sun is not seen all day long, so few people are willing to go to that ghost place, and over time, the grassland people regard this mountain as an ominous place.
Bang Ye used to pass by that mountain when he used to walk horses, and every time, whether it was noon or afternoon, the valley was surrounded by black mist, like a terrifying ghost nest.
