Chapter 8. Many people came to the grassland.
Her family also noticed that Luo Yin seemed to be very busy lately.
Urina had specifically mentioned to Bart that she hadn't expected Loin to be so greedy, dreaming of counting money every night.
Bart laughed heartily after hearing this, but seeing that the little girl was full of energy every day, he didn't say anything.
I simply told her that she could save the caterpillar fungus she had dug up and take it to the grassland market in the autumn to sell, where the price would be more favorable.
Upon hearing her father's words, Luo Yin nodded repeatedly in agreement.
Besides helping with cordyceps, she also started helping with other chores. For example, she helped her mother milk cows, clean the sheep pen, and shear sheep every day.
However, after her mother checked these things, she would reward her with a few cents.
Not only can cordyceps be exchanged for money on the grasslands, but many other wild delicacies can also be sold, and even firewood can be traded.
However, all of these are tedious and time-consuming.
But she had plenty of time, and then she began her happy time of saving money.
It's almost the end of June, and my older brother's elementary school graduation exam is coming up!
Luo Yin didn't quite understand; she just followed her second brother and watched.
However, she kept her father's words in mind, saying that once her older brother finished his work, he would have time to play with her.
During this period, Hada had been reviewing for more than two months.
Every time he sees his younger siblings playing outside, he really wants to grab them and have them learn together.
Luo Yin could never have imagined how devastating the thoughts her eldest brother had would be for her second brother.
At this moment, Luo Yin was happier than her older brother; she was delighted to have someone to play with.
The primary school graduation exam only lasted half a day. After completing the Chinese and math tests, the school officially started its summer vacation.
In mid-July, I will go directly to the school to get my grades.
Whether I can go to junior high school then will be a matter for that time to decide.
On the day of the exam, Hada was fed two bowls of goat milk and a large bowl of fried noodles by his mother.
Everyone at the dinner table gave him their most sincere wishes.
Ani said to him, "Study hard and pay close attention!"
Dad: "Work hard!"
"Mom, go on your way after you've eaten and drunk your fill!"
Mu Ren: "Big brother, I believe you can do it."
Luo Yin: "Big brother, I'll wait for you to come home so we can play together!"
Receiving everyone's concern, Hada rode away on horseback with full confidence.
Bart lagged a few steps behind, then followed him, escorted him to the school, and then turned and left.
The four of them were left at home at the moment, as Mu Ren was on vacation and resting at home.
Upon hearing his younger sister recount how many cordyceps she had collected, Mu Ren's heart began to warm.
"Little sister, how did you save up so much?" Mu Ren said with great envy.
Luo Yin stood proudly with her hands on her hips, "Of course, I'm amazing, right!"
"Mmm, that's impressive." I haven't dug as many as you.
"Do you want to go out with Ani?" Luo Yin asked hastily when she noticed Ani's movements while talking to him.
"Ah, now?"
"Yeah, hurry up, Ani's leaving."
"Ani, wait for me, I want to go too!" Luo Yin called out to Ani and rushed towards her mother.
"Mom, my second brother and I are going to herd sheep with Ani. You'll be home alone."
"Okay, I understand," Mother said without looking up.
"Second brother, let's go!"
Luo Yin grabbed her second brother and rushed towards the stable, grabbed her tools, and rode off on her pony to chase after Ani.
At this moment, Luo Yin's movements as she mounted her horse were very skillful. Her series of actions to control the horse and accelerate were all natural, as if they were etched into her bones.
In addition, Big White and she have a good relationship; the two of them practically eat and live together, so their cooperation is very high.
She even dared to suggest horse racing to her second brother.
The two men and their two horses radiated a fierce fighting spirit from their eyes.
Luo Yin versus Mu Ren, Da Bai versus Bai Xue, sparks fly between the two sides!
"Big White, charge! Charge! Overtake Second Brother and Snow White!"
Mu Ren also tightened his grip on the horse's flanks. "Bai Xue, show me what you've got!"
"Giddy up!"
"Giddy up, let's go!"
Driven by their competitive spirit, the brother and sister charged forward, each trying to outdo the other.
Ani watched silently from behind, without intervening.
How could children on the grasslands not learn horsemanship?
The brother and sister ran around for a long time, and before they could figure out who was the winner, they had had their fill of fun. Then, seeing that Ani had gone far away, they quickly turned back to chase after her.
The grazing location today is rather unusual.
They encountered other herder friends stationed along the way.
Luo Yin followed her second brother's side, repeating whatever he called her.
When asked who that was, he couldn't say. Instead, he seemed quite familiar with the family, watching them talk. The two little ones were bored but dared not wander off.
Fortunately, Ani returned shortly afterward, and the group continued on their journey.
The route was led by her second brother, and Luo Yin asked him curiously where they were going.
The second brother explained with a smile, "Let's go to Xiwu Ranch. You see, just follow this path, there's a large salt marshland over there."
Loin was surprised. "Isn't that dangerous? Can Ani take the sheep over there?"
Seeing her bewildered expression, Mu Ren burst into laughter.
"Haha, little sister, you actually believed me? I was just kidding."
“Ani is indeed going to the grasslands of Xiwu, of course, because the grass there is tender.”
Luo Yin was furious and unhappy that she had been tricked by her second brother.
"Hmph, I'm ignoring you now, you mean second brother!"
He then turned his horse around to find Ani.
When Ani saw her coming, he made room for her and then said nothing more.
The group drove the sheep for more than an hour before finally arriving at the place the second brother had mentioned.
Looking at the sea of bright red flowers not far away, Luo Yin thought it was extremely beautiful!
They immediately rushed over as if they were having a blast.
But look at Ani, he didn't act immediately.
Ani seemed to sense her intention and led the sheep over to graze, explaining, "See those red flowers?"
Luo Yin nodded hurriedly, "Of course I saw it."
"Remember not to let your horse touch those things; it would be even worse if it ate them."
Loin was startled, looking at the hillside covered in red flowers. "Ani, are those poisonous?"
Aniston stopped, and his hands also stopped moving.
"It's not poisonous, but horses will get drunk if they eat too much of it."
Luo Yin was dumbfounded, looking at him with a bewildered expression.
"Huh? Won't they eat it?" she asked curiously, pointing at the group of frolicking livestock.
Ani's lips twitched. "No way!"
"Okay!"
She didn't know why, but she secretly remembered it. Therefore, she deliberately tied her horse far away before running over and picking several red flowers.
Looking down closely and smelling the fragrance of the flowers, they seemed just like any other flowers.
Why does eating too much horse food make you drunk? She really wants to try it.
But seeing Ani and her second brother out of the corner of her eye, she suppressed the urge. However, she subconsciously picked quite a few, put them in a bag, and prepared to take them home to dry.
She thought she would pick some and display them at home; they would look beautiful that way!
"Little sister, there are so many wild vegetables here, come quickly!"
"Here I am!"
The two of them worked quite a bit, and then sat down to rest.
Gazing into the distance, I wondered what kind of flowers were blooming on that meadow.
Luo Yin was telling her second brother how many beautiful flowers she had seen when she suddenly saw several black dots moving in the distance.
She quickly stood up and looked out, then tugged at her second brother.
"Second brother, look what's that?"
Upon hearing this, Mu Ren quickly looked in the direction she was pointing. "Where? Is it difficult?"
"It really is true, there are four black dots, and they seem to be heading this way."
Luo Yin nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes, could it be someone's lost cow?"
Her tone was excited, as if she wanted to see it for herself.
"I don't know. Let's go find Ani, he must know."
Luo Yin nodded, and the two quickly ran down the slope to report the matter to Ani.
Ani glanced over, looking at it for a longer and longer time than the others.
After what seemed like several minutes, he said calmly, "It's probably not livestock, it's a vehicle!"
"ah?"
"How could that be? Isn't it a bison?"
A fleeting, inexplicable disappointment crossed the brother and sister's minds.
Ani probably understood what the brother and sister were thinking, and was speechless, not wanting to talk to them.
But I couldn't help but explain, "Look closely, the direction and position of those four points are fixed. Would a bison obediently run along the road?"
"Won't!"
"Of course not!"
Momo felt looked down upon by Ani. The brother and sister looked at each other, and seeing that they were both a little embarrassed, they turned their heads away one after the other.
"Then why did four cars arrive all at once?" Luo Yin asked hurriedly, still thinking about this.
Ani was silent for a moment, then shook her head.
"I don't know, Murenluoyin, don't worry about why for now. Quickly get the sheep together and bring the horses over too, just in case something happens."
The elderly see a lot and think a lot.
Unsure of the situation, the two dared not act rashly upon seeing Ani's serious expression.
After following Ani's steps, they quietly watched as the four small black dots gradually took shape.
It really was a car, not some wild animal running around.
Four carts carrying many people and goods were getting closer and closer to them.
The siblings were so close that they could clearly see the faces of the people on the bus.
Luo Yin exclaimed, "There are so many people, but none of them seem to be from the grasslands."
