Variety Film and Television Journey Home

"Who is that?"

"Batai, the youngest son of Sulitan."

"What about the one next to him?"

“Tourists have a good relationship with Sulitan.”

"What a fair-skinned girl! You can tell at first glance that she is not from our area."

"More than fair." Zhang Fengxia said meaningfully while carrying the sack, "I guess she is some rich girl who is here to experience life."

When a noisy sound was heard, Niao Niao frowned slightly and took off the blindfold.

After getting used to the strong light, what caught my eye was Ba Tai helping Li Wenxiu move things.

Ba Tai is very tall and Li Wenxiu is thin and weak, but they look a good match when standing together.

“Is there a washboard?”

Niao Niao asked. Ba Tai and Li Wenxiu were both stunned. They didn't expect that she would buy a washboard. After all, this thing was very inconsistent with her image.

“Is there a washboard?”

After asking again, Li Wenxiu reacted and ran into the house and carried out several different ones.

Niaoniao carefully asked about the differences between the various washboards, and then chose a medium-priced one.

"Why did you think of buying a washboard?"

"When I met Token, Murati had already passed away. Batai, no one has stipulated that women must cook, wash clothes and take care of children."

Niao Niao looked into Batai's slightly confused eyes and sighed, "This is for Token. Please take it to her."

Maybe Batai and Murati are different, but as she said before, it is difficult to change a person's thoughts accumulated over the years.

Fortunately, she did not intend to change Ba Tai's mind. After finishing what she wanted to do, Niao Niao took Xiao Jiu's hand and asked with her head tilted: "Do you want to go back together?"

Ba Tai glanced at the skull on the table, shook his head at Niao Niao and said, "You go back first, I have something to take care of."

Hearing what he said, Niao Niao nodded and jumped onto the horse swiftly. Then she thought of something and got off again.

Taxue is a little resistant to Batai now. If she rides Xiaojiu away, Batai will probably have to walk back.

Batai picked up the skull and said with a nostalgic look in his eyes: "This is the horse I rode before."

He subconsciously wanted to hold the hand of the person next to him, met Niao Niao's eyes, touched his neck awkwardly and said: "If you have time, can you accompany me to a place?"

"If you're busy, you can let this little girl accompany you." Niao Niao took a bottle of milk and wanted to lie down again.

Ba Tai pulled Niao Niao's sleeve and said in a somewhat naughty way: "I don't care, you were the one who didn't leave just now."

"Are you free?" This question was asked to Li Wenxiu.

Li Wenxiu looked at the two of them and immediately shook her head and said, "I want to help my mother run the store."

"She's busy." After saying that, Ba Tai walked out holding the skull in one hand and pulling Niao Niao's clothes with the other.

Behind the two, Taxue and Xiaojiu followed closely.

The dead trees at the entrance of the village look quite old, with most of their branches turning yellow and only some crumbling yellow leaves left.

There were faintly visible wires tied between the branches, and on the wires were tied skulls similar to the ones on Batai's hands.

Some skeletons were tied with hemp ropes. Niao Niao ignored Batai's outstretched hand and climbed up the dead tree with steady steps.

“Is this how you remember me?”

Ba Tai clapped his hands, walked over and tied up the skeleton, pretending to be nonchalant and asking: "Where is your home?"

Home? Niao Niao walked on the bent dead branches, not knowing how to answer.

"If you are willing, you can come with me to the stable to raise horses. The owner of the stable is a nice person, and a master like you will definitely be treated better." Ba Tai was always paying attention to this side, so when Niao Niao's expression looked a little strange, he spoke quickly.

Afraid that Niao Niao wouldn't believe him, Ba Tai finished tying the skeleton, walked over and squatted beside her, and said sincerely: "Believe me."

Maybe it was due to the climate, his skin was very rough, but his eyes were deep and bright, looking into his eyes was like looking into a bottomless ocean, and if you were not careful, you would sink into it.

Niao Niao looked at Ba Tai, whose cheeks were red, and laughed jokingly: "No wonder those aunties said that they could tell at a glance that I was not from this place. This highland red is really hard to ignore."

Just as he was about to sit down, Batai jumped down from the dead tree when he heard Niao Niao's words.

Maybe I was too anxious, my feet slipped and I almost fell the moment I jumped.

He quickly adjusted his body, took Xiaojiu by the hand, and said without turning his head: "Think about it carefully, there is still some time before I return to the horse farm."

No matter how you look at it, the figure looks like it is fleeing. Niao Niao jumped directly from the tree onto Taxue's back, pulling the reins and slowly accelerating.

Migration is a big deal for every herder, as they have to take care of people, horses, cattle and sheep.

"Niaoniao, can you teach me how to control a horse?" Batai held a whip and controlled the direction of the horses.

He looked at the herd of horses following Xiaojiu in an orderly manner, his eyes full of envy.

"Want to learn?" Niao Niao was rarely interested. She put her arm around Xiaojiu's neck and leaned forward slightly.

Thinking that her skills should not be passed on to others, Ba Tai considerately rode his horse closer and listened attentively.

"Secret." The warm breath sprayed on the tip of his ear, and the tingling and numb feeling made him feel dazed.

Seeing his stupid look, Niao Niao couldn't help laughing. Ba Tai pretended to be angry and said, "You are kidding me."

He stretched out his hand to pull Niao Niao off the horse, but Niao Niao dodged flexibly. The two began to chase each other, and loud laughter rang out one after another.

Sulitan had no choice but to play the role of Batai, assisting the people beside him in driving the horses.

"You must let Ba Tai seize the opportunity. I heard from the villagers that this girl might be the daughter of a wealthy family. She is pretty, has a good temper, is rich and capable. It's hard to find such a girl even with a lantern."

"You talk too much, drive the horse well."

When Sulitan refuted him, the man curled his lips and said, "If my son was as good as Batai, I would kindly remind you."

The figures chasing each other were almost disappearing. Sulitan looked at them and began to consider the feasibility of this matter.

He had never asked about Niao Niao's family affairs, but if he had the chance, he would still find out.

The sky gradually darkened, and after a day's journey, fatigue was visibly evident on everyone's face.

After they had fenced in and were counting the livestock, they discovered that a sheep was missing. Batai rode on his horse and said, "I'll go look for it."

"Wenxiu, go pick up some horse manure with Token." Zhang Fengxia was making a fire and looked up and shouted at Li Wenxiu.

Niao Niao wanted to follow, but Sulitan stopped her. He waved his hand and said, "Come here and have a cup of milk tea."

There were only two of them in the tent, and Sulitan had been silent since he sat down.

"Is something wrong?"

"It's not a big deal." Sulitan picked up the milk tea on the table, put it to his lips and said, "Why haven't I heard you mention your family?"

"I have no relatives in this world."

There was another moment of silence.

"What about your money?"

Niao Niao felt a little strange. According to Sulitan's personality, he would not be interested in these trivial matters.

She thought about it and said something without thinking, "The inheritance left by my parents."

"What do you think of Bata?"

'puff'

Niao Niao picked up a tissue to wipe the milk tea off her body and looked at Sulitan in surprise.
