Chapter 117 Life Forbidden Zone 16
Murati is also a child who keeps his word. The next morning, he brought his beloved Ajezik over and invited Jiang Ran to have dinner with them.
Ajezik, also known as fried dumpling, is most delicious when it is freshly baked. After being fried, it is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and it tastes sweet and fragrant when you bite it.
Jiang Ran and Murati were so excited that they put one in each hand and put it into their mouths without hesitation.
Xu Yang was also envious when he saw it. Just as he reached out to take some, Mulati grabbed all the fried dumplings on the table and asked defensively, "What are you going to do?"
"Have breakfast." Xu Yang said as a matter of course.
"This is our breakfast," Murati shouted repeatedly, "If you want to eat it, go ask Mom for it yourself!"
Xu Yang was puzzled: "Why does Jiang Ran have it and I don't? This is not fair, right?"
Murati was shocked by his shamelessness: "I promised her, but I didn't promise you!"
Xu Yang didn't know what special things had happened between the two of them yesterday that made him isolated today. He felt very innocent, but it was not good to compete with the children for food, so he could only go to find Gulandam in disappointment.
As soon as Xu Yang left, Mulati grinned again.
"Come on! Let's continue eating!"
Mulati did not stop for a moment, his chubby little black face was full of oil, but Jiang Ran's movements slowed down.
She had just noticed that there was a small silver-white round nail attached to Xu Yang's left ear bone, which was not there two days ago. She guessed that this was the translator he had just received. No wonder Xu Yang could suddenly understand the local dialect.
They clearly said earlier that the production team didn't bring a translator to Earth...
I don't know where he got it from.
After eating a hot breakfast and drinking some tea to relieve the greasiness, Jiang Ran went to find Ma Ang as promised. She promised to practice horse riding with him today.
When Mulati heard this, his interest was aroused, and he jumped up and down, shouting that he wanted to go with her.
"Don't you have to herd sheep today?"
"I can ask the Buick next door to put it on for me!"
Jiang Ran was surprised: "You are quite popular?"
Herding sheep is not an easy job. Since others are willing to help Mulati do it, the relationship between the two must be very good.
"Of course!"
Murati waved his chubby fists and his mouth grinned even wider.
"Who dares to have a bad relationship with me!"
Jiang Ran: “…”
It seems he's still a little village bully.
Jiang Ran was unable to get rid of Murati in the end, so he had to take him with him to meet Ma Ang.
Not long after arriving at the place, Xu Yang also appeared not far behind.
Maang scratched the back of his head. "I thought it was just the two of us today."
Jiang Ran sighed: "Just pretend they don't exist."
But the fact was, Xu Yang had been standing not far away with his arms folded, staring at the two of them with burning eyes. His presence was so strong that it was hard to pretend that he really didn't exist.
Ma Ang became increasingly unnatural, and was so distracted when he mounted his horse that he even stumbled.
Jiang Ran felt that this was not a solution and was unfair to him, so he rode his horse to Xu Yang and tried to persuade him to go back first.
However, Xu Yang refused to do so, stiffening his neck and saying, "It's just riding a horse, what's there to be afraid of?"
"Yeah, it's just riding a horse, what's so interesting about it?" Jiang Ran was puzzled. "You can't ride it, right? Do you understand it?"
Xu Yang seemed to be shocked: "If I can't ride, can't I watch?"
"That's not what I meant..."
"Then I'll stay here!"
Xu Yang said angrily: "I want to see what he wants to do by asking you out so early in the morning!"
Jiang Ran felt that Xu Yang was inexplicable and thought too much, and he couldn't persuade him, so he had to ignore him and go back to practice horse riding with Ma Ang.
But Xu Yang's presence is still too strong.
When Jiang Ran and Ma Ang were analyzing the strengths and weaknesses and temperament characteristics of the horses together, Xu Yang frowned at them.
Ma Ang did some fancy moves on horseback, and when Jiang Ran applauded and praised him, Xu Yang snorted coldly behind his back.
When Jiang Ran demonstrated a special move and then taught Ma Ang how to do it, Xu Yang pulled Murati aside and said, "You must study hard in the future. You can't let someone teach you something so simple! It's embarrassing!"
“…”
Ma Ang's expression became increasingly unnatural, and he asked in a low voice, "Is he your brother?"
Jiang Ran: "...He is my ancestor."
Ma Ang: "Huh?"
Seeing that Ma Ang's mind was increasingly distracted by Xu Yang and he couldn't concentrate on riding, Jiang Ran was helpless.
"Let's stop here for today?" Jiang Ran pulled the reins. "If we continue to practice like this, it won't be very efficient."
"No, no," Ma Ang said, getting anxious. He immediately turned his attention back and took two steps towards Jiang Ran, "I think this kind of training is very helpful! I've learned a lot of techniques I've never heard of before!"
But Jiang Ran had obviously made up her mind. She dismounted and said, "Forget it. We'll talk about it next time. I'm going back now."
"etc!"
Ma Ang immediately got down and took a few steps forward: "Can you wait a moment? I have something I want you to see."
Jiang Ran kept walking without turning his head: "No, I don't want to see it."
Jiang Ran was actually a little angry.
She really doesn't like it when she is working seriously on something with others but they are absent-minded, as if her intentions are ridiculous.
If I had known this, I would not have agreed to accompany Ma Ang in horse training.
Young people are fickle-minded. Even an equestrian champion in a family will always have his mind wandering to many things.
What a waste of time.
Jiang Ran walked very quickly, and Ma Ang became anxious. He jumped on the spot and immediately ran towards somewhere. After picking up something, he quickly ran back and caught up with Jiang Ran, wanting to hand it to her.
It was a bunch of sunflowers, growing very well, with green roots and yellow petals, looking full of vitality, like little suns.
Jiang Ran didn't reach out to take it: "What do you want to give me sunflower for?"
Ma Ang took a breath, and a simple smile appeared on his rugged yet handsome face. "Sunflower is my favorite flower, and you are the most favorite person I have ever met, so I want to give it to you!"
Jiang Ran frowned, but still didn't take the flowers from his hand, but she stopped.
Ma Ang was at a loss when he saw she didn't take the flower, but he mustered up the courage to say, "The weather here isn't very good, it's very cold, and few flowers bloom here. But sunflowers are different. They grow in the poorest soil, facing the sun. They work very hard, but they are also very beautiful."
Ma Ang gently stroked the petals of the sunflower. "You are the most vibrant girl I have ever seen. The way you gallop on your horse is like the morning clouds, like the endless spring water on the snowy mountains, like a sunflower that glows. I... I like you very much. Will you stay?"
"Of course not!"
Xu Yang pushed his way in between them, pulling Jiang Ran behind him and saying, "We'll be going back in a few days!"
Jiang Ran: “…”
Murati also ran over to join in the fun: "What are you doing! My sister hasn't even spoken yet!"
Xu Yang bared his teeth at him: "Of course your sister won't agree."
Xu Yang was obviously not so confident. As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around cautiously to look at Jiang Ran's expression, fearing that she would nod the next second.
Jiang Ran was almost laughed out of anger by them, and she wanted to just pat her butt and leave on the spot, but Ma Ang was still looking at her expectantly and worriedly, and she had to give him an answer anyway.
Jiang Ran pushed Xu Yang away and stretched out his right hand.
Ma Ang's face was immediately filled with surprise, and in contrast, Xu Yang opened his eyes wide in panic.
However, the next second, Jiang Ran reached out and pushed the bouquet back into Ma Ang's arms.
The situation took a sudden turn. Ma Ang understood what Jiang Ran meant and his mood immediately dropped.
"Thank you for the flowers, they are beautiful and there will be someone more suitable for them in the future."
Ma Ang curled his lips, as if he wanted to say something else, but Jiang Ran turned around and left.
Xu Yang followed immediately, but Jiang Ran didn't want to pay any attention to him now. No matter what he said, he just pretended he didn't exist.
Jiang Ran was feeling a bit confused, wandering aimlessly until she came to Baisha Lake. It was as if there was a mysterious attraction, wanting the blue sky and clear water to cleanse her mind.
Xu Yang came over: "Are you still angry?"
"You also know that I'm angry?" Jiang Ran applauded him, "Should I praise you?"
Xu Yang felt very embarrassed and apologized sincerely for all his actions just now. However, Jiang Ran obviously had no intention of forgiving him and just sat by the lake in a daze.
"Let me perform a magic trick for you."
Xu Yang showed his empty hands in front of Jiang Ran, then without taking them away, he circled them twice in the air and opened his palms. A small red flower half a palm long appeared in his palms.
Jiang Ran still didn't speak.
Xu Yang looked at her expression, carefully considered for a moment, and then slowly inserted the little red flower into Jiang Ran's hair.
"Can you please forgive me?"
Jiang Ran's brows moved slightly, but he still didn't say anything.
Xu Yang paused, took a deep breath and said, "I know it's not nice to disturb you, and I don't want to make you angry, but I don't want to see you happily with that Ma Ang, because I will... I will..."
"Where did you get your translator from?" Jiang Ran interrupted him.
"Ah?" Xu Yang was speechless, his thoughts instantly disrupted, and he couldn't even remember what he was going to say.
"Translator."
Jiang Ran reminded: "You said before that the production team didn't bring a translator, so where did you get your translator?"
Xu Yang touched the translator on his ear bone, which was as small as a jewelry, and said with a guilty conscience: "I asked someone to bring it from the capital planet."
It's easy to say, but there is no air show point on the uninhabited Earth, and there is no fixed star route for travel. Xu Yang can only specially drive a private starship to and from the capital star and Earth for the translator, and the cost is definitely not small.
Jiang Ran: "Using power for personal gain?"
Xu Yang paused: "Hmm..."
"Have you clarified all the questions you wanted to ask?"
"Almost." Xu Yang touched his nose.
"Tell me, what do you know?"
Generally speaking, when there is information asymmetry between the two parties, directly telling the information you have is a taboo in negotiations and will cause one to quickly lose the initiative.
But Xu Yang didn't worry about it anymore. He was secretly gathering information behind the scenes. He was already in the wrong and didn't dare to continue playing tricks on Jiang Ran at this time. He told Jiang Ran everything he knew.
"Gulendam told me the origin of that painting. It happened thousands of years ago, before humans started their large-scale migration plan. They all lived peacefully on Earth."
"The Tajiks have always lived in isolation and as nomads, and they rarely have any outsiders. The two women in the painting are among those few outsiders."
"What else?"
"For some reason, the two guests stayed and lived here for several years. During this time, they taught the locals a lot of things, such as the habits and ways to get along with various wild animals, how to identify and use various plateau plants, and how to choose a site to set up camp and live on the plateau..."
"The Tajik people were very grateful to the two guests, so skilled painters in the tribe drew their portraits and carefully framed them for preservation."
"What else?"
"Thanks to that knowledge, the Tajiks have survived many crises over the millennia and continue to thrive today. Therefore, people are always grateful to those two guests and have carefully preserved their portraits, burning incense and offering sacrifices during festivals."
"What else?" Jiang Ran asked.
Xu Yang fell silent.
He had told him everything, but...
He paused and asked the question in his heart.
"You are one of the guests, right?"
