Quick Travel System: Age Strategy

Chengcheng told the male educated youth about this and immediately got everyone's agreement. No one objected to this way of exchange.

Not to mention the wine, even the food is expensive enough.

There is also a monthly food supply in the Territory City. They have been accustomed to eating staple foods since childhood. If they are not allowed to eat them in the future, it would be tantamount to asking for their lives.

……

After the leader Kuturuk said everything he wanted to say, he asked for everyone's opinions. Seeing that no one objected, he went ahead to select the ingredients and go out to cook.

The people here set up the stove outside the yurt, and they built it very skillfully. When the weather gets colder, they can move the stove back inside to keep warm.

It's not possible now, because there is no well-ventilated area in the room, and putting the stove in will only cause smoke and dust to be everywhere.

While Kuturuk was busy preparing dinner outside, the educated youth started playing games again.

Mayila took out the skipping rope she brought and asked everyone to go out and play together.

There is so much open space outside the grassland that they can just find a spot to play.

It is said to be a skipping rope, but when you unfold it, it is actually a very long, thick and sturdy hemp rope. The two people who win first are separated by a rock-paper-scissors game, and the remaining two people automatically become the people who shake the rope.

Chengcheng and Usman won because they needed to jump in and out smoothly on a swinging rope.

This often tests coordination, cooperation and sense of rhythm. The height difference between Chengcheng and Usman is as much as a head.

The leg length ratio is also different, and it is easy to trip over the rope.

In order to play longer, the two discussed a strategy.

"I'll go in first in a moment. I'll observe the speed of the rope falling and shout one. When I say one, we both need to jump at the same time. Do you understand?"

"I understand." Usman nodded.

Chengcheng turned around and stood at the closest point to the rope, observing the rope falling and then jumping in when the opportunity arose.

After she jumped twice and felt it was enough, she shouted, "Usman! Jump in quickly."

Usman followed her lead and jumped in.

They danced continuously to the beat of Cheng Cheng for a long time without making any mistakes. The rope went faster and faster, until Cheng Cheng gradually became unable to keep up and jumped out first.

After she left, Usman filled her spot and continued to jump.

What no one expected was that Usman was very good at this rope skipping activity. Even after Chengcheng left, he could still skip for a long time without making any mistakes.

Mayila's hands were almost numb, and seeing that he hadn't made any mistakes, she yelled at him, "Usman, my hands are numb and you haven't made any mistakes yet."

After hearing what she said, Usman, who was still jumping, slowed down his feet for a moment, and the rope stopped swinging on the ground.

Mayila thought it was her own shouting that caused it, and asked, "Are you okay? I didn't mean to scare you, I just wanted you to jump out, I want to rest for a while."

"It's okay, Mayila, I'm fine." Usman walked away, stopped and looked at her.

But the rope on his feet accidentally lifted up his trouser legs when he took a step, revealing the red marks on them.

It is particularly noticeable on Usman’s white and slender legs.

It's quite funny to say that the sun is very strong over there, so it's normal that there are few boys with pale faces.

Usman is an exception. He said he rarely goes out and only focuses on studying at home.

It’s a pity that such a studious person is affected by the general situation and cannot take the college entrance examination.

"Usman, don't move. Let me see what's wrong with your leg." Mayra hurried over and squatted.

"I'm fine Mayila."

When Usman saw her coming, he was startled and quickly retracted his ankle and stepped back.

"I saw it all, don't move."

Mayira, who was of a straightforward character, was worried that she might hurt the person more seriously, so she reached out and grabbed Usman's ankle.

Usman himself was startled by this action and quickly steadied himself and stood still.

Looking at the girl squatting at his feet, her face flushed. It was the first time that a girl was so bold and aggressive right away.

Chengcheng and Mamtim came over to check on the injury. Even the current leader Kuturuk, upon hearing the noise, ignored his stove and ran over to see what happened to Usman.

Seeing that everyone was surrounding him, the shy Usman blushed even more and said stutteringly: "I'm really fine... Stop looking at me."

Mayila lifted up her trouser legs and looked at the two red marks on his white legs and cried in self-blame.

She never thought that the toys she took out might hurt anyone.

"I'm sorry Usman, I shouldn't have let you play if I had known." That way I wouldn't have gotten hurt.

"Mayila, I'm fine. There are just two red marks. They will disappear in a few days."

"Are you in pain? Should I go find the clan leader to get you some medicine?"

"It's... okay. There's no need to ask the clan leader for help with this injury."

Because of Usman’s injury, no one continued to play rope skipping. Mayila, the little girl who suggested it, was the one who wanted to play the most, but now she is not in the mood.

She ran to Usman and showed concern for him, which made the shy boy's face even hotter.

Chengcheng only showed concern for Usman at the beginning, but later he stopped disturbing him when he saw Mayira surrounding him.

He picked up the rope left on the ground and held it in his hand, then found a quiet place, sat on the grass and looked at the sky.

Mamtim helped Kuturuk make a fire, and the two chatted.

Except for Chengcheng, the other four were chatting enthusiastically.

It was at this moment that Huhe saw her. Seeing her alone in a place, he wanted to say hello and ask her. After all, it was he who brought this girl to the grassland.

"Chencheng, what are you doing lying here?"

When Chengcheng heard his voice, she turned her head towards the direction where he appeared and raised the corner of her mouth.

"Admire the starry sky. By the way, Huhe, why are you here?!"

"I... I came to see if you educated youth have bought enough things in the city today!?"

As he spoke, Huhe's eyes wandered for a moment but he did not appear too flustered.

I don't know why, but when I met her in the morning, not only did I remember the dream I had last night, but I also thought of what she said to me last night.

What kind of gift should I give him in return?

This question troubled him all day, and he would think about it from time to time even when he was working.

By the way, she had received many gifts from her friends on the grassland in the past, but none of them had higher expectations than hers.

While having dinner in the evening, my uncle mentioned that the educated youth were going out to the city today. Somehow he started to guess about the gifts again.

He kept thinking what gift she would give him. From an objective point of view, he had seen the things sold in the city.

It is also possible that the gifts he receives in the end are mostly finished products, which will not surprise him much.

But that mysterious gift made him feel uneasy.

When his uncle mentioned that he wanted to go to the educated youth site to see what the city kids had bought, he immediately took on the errand job.

Although he came, he still wanted to ask her about the gift when he saw her, but he felt that it was too presumptuous, so he didn't dare to open his mouth and brought up his uncle's words.
