Chapter 157: Too many to count, too many to count



Oda Village is really close to foreigners!

No wonder they come here to grab it every year. The villagers of Xiaotian Village don’t have any ancestral hall or clan.

The new generation of people has to be replaced every year. Which family can survive in such an environment?

The cold wind was blowing in the wild, and the temperature had dropped to minus ten degrees Celsius. It was okay when walking, but once you stopped, you couldn't help feeling a little cold.

Even though Mrs. Hu had given the two of them fur coats before they set off, they couldn't withstand the cold wind on the mountain that was as sharp as a knife.

Ying Er and the others scattered and only called people over to rest when they found a cave.

When they got there, the secret guards had already cleaned the cave and lit a fire. As Zhou got closer to the fire, he felt sleepy little by little.

Xie Siheng took out a cloak and spread it on the ground: "You guys sleep here."

Looking at the cloak made of fine workmanship and luxurious fabric, Ji Changying felt a little distressed: "Isn't this bad?"

Speaking of which, the width of this cloak is just enough for her and her mother to sleep in...

Xie Siheng didn't care much: "Do you want to sleep on the floor?"

Ji Changying decisively pulled Zhou to lie down: "Thank you."

Looking at Ji Changying who lay down decisively without saying a word, Xie Siheng smiled again.

I knew it would be like this.

He threw another cloak at her. This time, Ji Changying didn't even say a polite word. She just smiled and covered the two of them with it.

People who practice martial arts are stronger, and several secret guards sitting in front of the campfire in their fur coats did not feel cold at all.

Several people took turns to keep watch, and soon the entire cave became silent.

Zhou fell asleep soundly within two seconds of lying down. Ji Changying listened to her mother's rhythmic breathing and fell into a deep sleep within ten seconds.

Just when I felt like I was sleeping soundly, someone pushed me awake.

Ji Changying opened her dark eyes, a fierce light flashed in them, and just as she raised her upper body and swung her hand out, her wrist was tightly grasped by a pair of bony hands.

Xie Siheng raised his eyebrows: "So angry?"

Ji Changying saw his handsome face so close to her, and she put down her hand in frustration. "Are we leaving?"

Xie Siheng stood up and said, "Eat something and then leave."

Zhou was woken up by her daughter in a daze. Before she could wake up, she hugged Ji Changying's arm and said coquettishly: "I want to sleep a little longer, sleep a little longer..."

As a result, Ji Changying took out the pickles and dry food prepared by Hu and heated them on the fire for less than two minutes. Zhou couldn't lie down anymore after smelling the smell.

He stood up quickly and said seriously, "How can we delay our work? Let's finish eating and get going soon."

Several secret guards couldn't help but glance at the two of them.

Miss Ji's home is quite special.

The positions of parents and children seem to be reversed.

They boiled a pot of water with the snow water and everyone drank some to warm themselves up. After a brief rest, they set off towards the other side of the mountain in high spirits.

Cross the top of the mountain, taking one step deep and one step shallow, and you will see a different scenery over the top of the mountain.

All I could see were undulating hillsides. There were no tall trees on the hills, only dry, yellow grass.

The only high mountain in the distance is a snow-capped mountain, and the glowing white mountain can be seen from a long distance.

When the sun shines on it, it looks like a golden roof.

Zhou stared at the scene blankly: "That mountain is so beautiful."

Xie Siheng looked around and asked, "Did that merchant you met before tell me where potatoes can usually be found?"

This question suddenly brought Ji Changying back to reality.

She glanced down and saw that the tent she had seen last night was gone, leaving only an empty flat ground with an extinguished fire on it, proving that what she had experienced last night was not just her imagination.

She said vaguely, "He only said that the thing was dug out from the ground. Who knows where to dig it from?"

Xie Siheng didn't feel disappointed after hearing this. Instead, it was pretty much what he expected.

"Go down the mountain first!"

They waded through the waist-high dry grass slope and reached the foot of the mountain. Yingyi and the others surveyed the area in front of the campfire and found that the people here had been gone for at least an hour.

I looked around and there was nothing here. I dug a few times in the dry grass and found nothing that looked like potatoes except grass roots.

····

The group spent a whole day and night wandering in these endless mountains before they saw a large expanse of green and yellow grassland.

Zhou looked at the cattle and sheep grazing leisurely on the hillside not far away, and swept away the fatigue of the past two days: "How much meat is this!"

Ji Changying squinted her eyes and looked at the herds of cattle and sheep.

There are so many of them, so many that you can’t even count them!

The heads looked like gray clouds, moving across the grassland, nibbling the weeds on the ground intently.

The ram has spiral horns, the ewes are hornless, have large drooping ears, and are of medium build. Just by looking at Ji Changying, one can imagine the taste of this sheep, and his saliva cannot help but be secreted in his mouth.

Take another look at the cows. The cows outside the Great Wall look different from those inside the Great Wall.

There are red, black, and red and white ones. They have strong limbs, short, wide and thick heads, and slender horns that curve upward and forward. They look delicious at first glance.

Zhou and Ji Changying both swallowed their saliva.

No matter what color it is, the meat will definitely taste delicious.

"There are not many people grazing. This is a good opportunity." Ying Yi looked at the opposite side with burning eyes.

"There's usually a leader in a herd of cattle and sheep. If you try to catch them one by one, you probably won't be able to take away many. Try to find the leader of the herds."

Xie Siheng squinted his eyes and looked for a long time, and finally his eyes fell on a strong, pitch-black bull.

Ji Changying's eyes fell on a ram with a black head and a white body. After observing it for a while, he felt that it looked like a sheep.

The two men looked at each other, then quietly moved over with their men.

On the other side, the shepherds were sitting by the campfire drinking and bragging, completely unaware that anyone was approaching.

Even if they racked their brains, they probably never imagined that someone would come to this remote place to steal cattle and sheep.

Ji Changying lowered her voice and said, "I have a rope with me. I'll go over and lasso the sheep, and Ying Er will lasso the cow. When I pull the rope, you guys pull it."

Zhou held the other end of the rope and nodded seriously.

Ji Changying and Ying Er stopped when they were a short distance away from the herd of cattle and sheep. Ji Changying tied the rope and threw it next to the sheep he liked.

Ying Er followed her example and threw it over as well.

After waiting for a while and seeing no one entering the circle, Ying Er showed an anxious look on his face. Ji Changying's mental power turned into a cone and stabbed it hard into the buttocks of the head sheep and the head cow!

Frightened, the two cows and sheep took a big step forward together.

The two of them were shocked and pulled the rope. Zhou immediately raised the rope to her shoulder and said, "Pull!"

"Mee~~"

Originally, the cattle and sheep were not interfering with each other, but suddenly the sheep became agitated and started running around, and the frightened cattle also started to become chaotic.
