When I was just reborn, I was sold for 300 yuan.

Uncle Sangji's home is in Xiuma Village, Nima Commune, under the jurisdiction of Maqu County. It is located on the southern foot of Xiqing Mountain, about forty or fifty miles away from Maqu County, and it takes two or three hours to get there by horse.

"Su girl, can you ride a horse?" Uncle Sangji's horse business was very good. The horses he brought to the market were quickly sold out. Uncle Sangji deliberately left behind the most docile horse, intending for him and Su Qing to ride one each.

"I've never ridden one." Su Qing told the truth.

"Ah!" Uncle Sangji felt a little embarrassed when he heard it.

Su Qing is light in weight. Logically, if Su Qing can't ride a horse, he can take her on horseback. However, in this era, it is not appropriate. If someone sees it and gossips about it, it will be unfriendly to a little girl like Su Qing.

Although it is not as exaggerated as in previous years, it still has an impact on girls' reputation.

"But I can try." Su Qing smiled and said to Uncle Sangji.

Uncle Sangji disagreed: "You are young and have never been in contact with horses. This is not a joke. If you accidentally fall off the horse, you will get hurt."

"I'll give it a try. What if the horse likes me very much?" Su Qing smiled and pointed at the red horse that Uncle Sangji had specially left behind and asked, "Uncle Sangji, is this for me?"

Uncle Sangji nodded, but hurriedly said: "Although it has a gentle temperament, it will also lose its temper if you don't know how to ride it. Let me think of a way."

As soon as Uncle Sangji finished speaking, he saw Su Qing walk up to the chestnut horse and gently touch the horse's head with her hand.

Uncle Sangji was startled when he saw this and wanted to step forward to stop it. No matter how docile the horse was, it was not easy to tease it!

But what Uncle Sangji didn't expect was that the horse was actually very close to Su Qing. Not only did it not reject Su Qing's touch, it also actively leaned its head towards Su Qing and rubbed Su Qing's arm.

Uncle Sangji looked surprised and said, "This horse is really close to you."

"Maybe I have some affinity with animals." Su Qing smiled, and the green mist in her hand was silently input into the body of the chestnut horse. After getting the green mist, the chestnut horse became closer to Su Qing.

"Oh, it's true," Uncle Sangji said in amazement, "Well, let me teach you how to ride a horse. You try it first. If it doesn't work, we can think of another way."

"Okay, thank you Uncle Sangji." Su Qing said with a smile.

So, Uncle Sangji was busy teaching Su Qing how to ride a horse, how to control the direction of the horse and so on. He taught Su Qing every detail, for fear that Su Qing might not understand something and get hurt accidentally.

What surprised Uncle Sangji was that Su Qing was so talented. After just listening to the theory twice, she could ride the horse easily and even trot with the horse.

"Come on, I'll take you back to the village."

"it is good."

Uncle Sangji took Su Qing on horseback all the way to Xiuma Village. Seeing that Su Qing rode very skillfully along the way, Uncle Sangji breathed a sigh of relief and spoke more relaxedly. He not only told Su Qing about some of the conditions in Xiqing Mountain, but also taught Su Qing some local daily expressions.

Su Qing herself has special abilities, so she naturally has a strong learning ability. By the time she arrived at Xiuma Village, not only had her riding skills become more proficient, she could even communicate with Uncle Sangji in the local dialect, which really surprised Uncle Sangji.

"Su girl, look, that's Xiqing Mountain over there." Standing at the entrance of Xiuma Village, Uncle Sangji pointed to the foothills in the distance and said to Su Qing.

It was already evening. Su Qing looked in the direction Uncle Sangji pointed and saw endless mountain peaks in the distance. The fiery red sunset passed through the mountains, casting a layer of crimson on the tops of the mountains. The hazy glow enveloped the mountaintops, giving a sense of dreaminess and magnificence.

"So beautiful." Su Qing couldn't help but sigh.

"Yes." Uncle Sangji also looked at Xiqing Mountain in the distance and said, "It's quite beautiful, but also quite dangerous. Girl Su, I still have to tell you that Xiqing Mountain is quite deep. Even the best hunters in our village don't dare to go deep into it. If you insist on going into the mountain, you must not go deep into it. Just look for medicinal herbs on the periphery. In addition, if you need any medicinal herbs, you can also ask the people in our village. If they can find them, you don't have to go into the mountain."

Uncle Sangji is still very worried about Su Qing's safety.

"Don't worry, Uncle Sangji, I'm just going into the mountains to collect herbs for experience. I won't go deep." Su Qing naturally wouldn't tell Uncle Sangji the truth.

Seeing that Su Qing was determined to go into the mountains, Uncle Sangji didn't want to persuade her too much, so he said, "Okay, you must pay attention to your own safety. Besides, it's late now, why don't you stay at my house for one night and go into the mountains tomorrow morning. The altitude here is high, and you have to adapt to it. When you enter the mountains, the altitude will be even higher."

"Okay." Su Qing thought, she had to pay Uncle Sangji anyway, so she could give him a little more, which would be used as accommodation fees.

"Okay, let's go. My home is in that yurt." Uncle Sangji said, pointing to a white yurt in the distance.

Xiuma Village is a village at the foot of the southern slope of Xiqing Mountain, located on a vast grassland. There are not many villagers in the village, only about twenty households in total, all living in white felt tents. From a distance, they look like twenty or so white mushrooms on the green grassland.

It was evening now, and the villagers came back one after another. When they saw Sangji, they greeted him warmly: "Sangji, you are back."

"Hey, who is this little girl? Is she your relative?"

Seeing Su Qing, everyone who greeted Uncle Sangji was very curious. They looked at Su Qing secretly, and while secretly admiring Su Qing's appearance, they were also very curious about Su Qing's identity.

"She is a guest of my house." Uncle Sangji replied with a smile, "She came here to play nearby and happened to meet me. I showed her the way. It's getting late today, so she will stay at my house for one night."

"Oh, what a pretty girl." An auntie praised with a smile.

Su Qing smiled and thanked her in the local dialect, which surprised the auntie and made her eyes widen: "Little girl, you are not from here, you can actually speak our language, you are amazing."

As she said that, the aunt gave Su Qing a thumbs up.

Walking all the way to Uncle Sangji's yurt, Su Qing truly felt the enthusiasm of the villagers of Xiuma Village.

Uncle Sangji's family is very small, with only Uncle Sangji and his wife and their daughter Zhuoma. Zhuoma and her mother Lazhen expressed great welcome to Su Qing's arrival. Zhuoma was even more enthusiastic about Su Qing, who was about the same age as her: "Su Qing, welcome to my home."
