Quick Travel System: Age Strategy

It seems that this road is not feasible.

She started asking about other topics.

"...Okay, then when can we finish construction here?"

"If you want to live in this place for a long time, I think it will take a few days. If you want to build a place that is barely habitable, it can be done in a few hours, but for safety reasons, I still suggest that you spend a few more days to reinforce it."

"You're right. If it's not strong enough, the top might be blown away by a gust of wind."

"What you said may happen in the summer, but now that the weather is getting colder and winter is coming, I think the most likely thing to happen is hail. You'd better add more felt on the roof of your house, and also add some around it. It's not easy to live on the grassland in winter."

Hearing him say this, Cheng Cheng asked, "How do you spend the winter on the grassland?"

"We also light a stove in the house like people in the city. The weather here is cold and the land is vast and rich. To be honest, it is more difficult to endure the cold weather than in the city. So when winter comes, we not only have to store some animal feces as fuel, but also protect the animals on the grassland so that they don't freeze to death."

In that era, there were no electric blankets or heaters, and even the power supply was not fully connected. Most people used candles or kerosene lamps at night.

The grassland is sparsely populated, and one tribe only occupies a small piece of land, while most of the area is still grassland.

Chengcheng also asked if anyone here had frozen to death?

Huhedawa nodded with a heavy expression, saying that winter was even more difficult for them at the beginning when they had not learned to use animal excrement as a fire-making tool.

Some herders have insufficient supplies at home, and when the fire goes out, the house is cold and they are easily frozen to death.

Later, we figured out how to survive and reduced casualties.

Winter is not that hard for humans, but it is still hard for animals.

Relying on animals for food on the grassland is a natural skill for herders, and they all rely on raising animals to survive.

They can survive by selling the animals to the city or eating them themselves, but if a large number of animals die in winter, it will cause great harm to the herders.

Even if they had a cart, it would be difficult to find a road to carry the dead animals to the city.

The sky and the earth were covered with white snow, and it was so heavy that it was impossible to tell the direction ahead.

Getting lost is a common thing. The grassland environment has a profound impact on the people here. They love this place but are also trapped here.

The grassland is home and cannot be separated. People living here have never thought of moving out of the grassland.

The topic did not continue and Huhedawa was called away by someone else.

After seeing him leave, Chengcheng came to Mayila and helped her with the work.

"Hey Guli, what were you just talking about with Huhe?"

Hearing that everyone here called that person Huhe, the educated youth also followed the local customs and called them by their names.

After getting used to it, they think this method is very good, especially for those who have the same problem.

Not only are the names too long and difficult to pronounce to remember, but people also find it difficult to pronounce the long names all the time, so they also learn to call each other by their abbreviations, which is convenient and easy to remember.

Everyone called her original name Guli, and every time it was pronounced, it smelled like grilled lamb kebabs from the border.

"I just asked them how they lived on the grassland and about their houses. I didn't ask much else."

"Is that all? Then why did you guys chat for so long? I thought you were talking about something interesting."

"No, I'm already embarrassed to ask these questions. If you ask more, it will delay people from doing their work."

"Guli, don't you like him?"

Chengcheng blinked, didn't answer and changed the subject.

"You've only been here for a day and you're already saying this. Don't let the people here hear and spread the word."

"That's nothing. Let's just talk about it privately. It's time for us to find a partner at our age." Mayira said truthfully.

She didn't say anything else after that, knowing that she couldn't get to the bottom of it.

She didn't look like she liked Huhe, so Mayila put aside her gossiping thoughts and focused on building the house.

Cheng Cheng was thinking in his heart why Mayila said this after only one day. Was it because the two of them were too close to each other that people misunderstood? !

No wonder Toya regards her as a love rival. It seems that the progress in the future cannot be so fast, otherwise it will have a counterproductive effect.

Kuturuk had been listening silently by the side. When he heard Mayila ask Guli whether she liked Huhe, his heart tightened.

Even though they were in the same carriage yesterday, he did not see Guli from where he was sitting. He only noticed her when he got off the train.

It was because I had a good impression of her that when I saw that she was not feeling well, I took the initiative to show concern for her.

When Huhejie picked her up and she left yesterday, he saw it all but couldn't stop her. He could only watch the two of them walk further and further away.

When he was having dinner on the first night here, he saw that they left the earliest and had not returned yet, so he was still worried. He was thinking about going to bed early and waiting for Guli to come back. He never expected that his two companions would fall asleep as soon as they touched the pillow.

He closed his eyes as he listened to the hypnotic, regular snoring, and only found out that Guli had returned the next day.

At this time, I wanted to go up and show concern, but I had to give up because of the eyes of the people around me.

He was secretly watching her every move.

……

After dinner in the evening, Chengcheng came out calling Huhe.

I returned the Hada that he had made yesterday to him alone. People here said that Hada had important meaning to them.

The white Hada symbolizes the white clouds in the sky, the most sacred and purest color, which she cannot bear.

When Huhe saw her take out the Hada and said she wanted to return it to him, he immediately refused.

"Here, if Hada is given as a gift, it must be kept properly. This is my respect for the guests and also our etiquette."

"Then if you don't take it, I'll stay."

"You can keep it."

"Hada is so important here, so I should give you a gift in return. I will go to the city to buy some tools tomorrow and give it to you when I have it made."

"What are you going to do for me?"

"A secret." After saying this, Cheng Cheng turned around with a smile on his face, put away the Hada in his hand and went into the yurt.

The other educated youth also finished their meals. They felt embarrassed to have eaten three meals with the head of the family. The first meal was said to be a welcome meal, which was already very kind of them. They even came here for the second and third meals.

The meals they cook are delicious, with solid ingredients, and they have become shameless after eating so much.

In order to thank the head of the family for their kindness, the educated youth not only thought about buying something for him tomorrow, but also wanted to wash the dishes for him tonight before leaving.

Aunt Huhe just stopped them and kept chattering to them, occasionally blurting out a few nonsense words in a hurry.

The educated youth were confused by what they heard, so it was Uncle Huhe who explained it in his not-so-fluent Chinese.
