The wind was still howling, the snow was still falling, the wind was blowing heavy snow, and the yurt was shaking, as if it might be crushed by the wind and snow at any time.

That night, I changed Tsering's dressing in the yurt.

The black ointment sticks to the top and it is difficult to get off. I spread hot butter tea on the edge of the ointment. The hot tea will soften the bone glue so that it can be peeled off.

Carefully tore it off little by little, revealing Tsering's wound.It seems that the recovery is not bad, the wound is already closing, and there is no sign of inflammation or infection.

After checking, apply a new layer of ointment to him.It seems that after taking off the plaster this time in a few days, there should be no need to fix it with plaster.

"Cough cough." At this time, my throat was a little itchy, and I couldn't help coughing twice, and quickly grabbed the butter tea that Tsering used to make ointment and took two sips.

But Danzhu still looked at me nervously.There is no way, the worst fear of poor families is getting sick.

Fortunately, the hot ghee flowed down my throat, which made me feel better and suppressed the cough.

It is said to be butter tea, but in fact there is no salt and no tea leaves in it.

Seeing that I stopped coughing, Danzhu looked relieved, lowered her head and continued to knead a piece of leather.Raw hides are too hard, and they have to be rubbed with yogurt and thenardite to make them soft before they can be used to make boots and water bladders.

"Let me do it." Tsering was able to sit up already. Seeing that the plaster on his leg was almost dry, he sat up and took the leather from Danzhu's hand, but then threw the piece of leather away, "Ah, This one is too tender, not thick enough, useless."

These skins peeled off from the cows that died of freezing and starvation are not usable at all and can only be thrown away. Although it is a pity, there is no other way.

A gust of cold wind and snowflakes came into the yurt, and Qiangba drove a few calves in, "If these calves are left outside, they will die."

It is naturally much warmer to burn cow dung in the yurt, but apart from this warmth, there is nothing else that can be provided to these calves.

The yurt seemed to be full all of a sudden, only Dawa and Mei Duo were very happy, climbing on the back of the ox to play.At this time, only children can continue to play without knowing their sorrow.

The door of the yurt was lifted again, and a snowman rushed in with the wind and snow holding a bag of grass.

Of course it wasn't a snowman, it was Gyatso.

He put down the grass in his arms, stomped his feet and jumped to the fire, "It's cold, it's cold." While jumping, he hurriedly took off his robe and boots.

Gyatso lifted the snow cover and hugged the grass underneath. His clothes and boots were as cold as iron.

I hastily grabbed a handful of butter and oiled his cracked hands and feet. Then I turned my head and saw that the bundle of grass that Gyatso had managed to hug back had been eaten up by several very hungry calves. clean.That bit of grass isn't enough for them to get between their teeth.Why!

Only at this time did I really feel that God is incomparably powerful, and people are as small and humble as ants.In such a harsh living environment, how can people not worship the incomparably powerful force of nature?

Just when I started to lose my mind, "Roar! Roar! Roar!" Gyatso came in from the door of the yurt, which was not closed tightly. The sound of the wind and snow was mixed with different shouts. From far to near.

"I'll go and have a look." Jamba tucked up his robe, opened the door and went out.

A team of riders has arrived in front of my yurt. They hold torches in their hands. By the light of the torches, they can clearly see that they are wearing armor.

When fighting in Tubo, strong men will be recruited to serve as soldiers, whether it is "Chaba" or "Duiqiong" who are drawn will go to war with the army.But these soldiers did not wear armor.

Those who can wear armor are the real warriors. They are generally hereditary, and their status and status are much higher than that of "chaba". When "chaba" sees them, they respectfully call them adults or masters.

Seeing these people coming, Qiangba was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly raised his hands above his head, bent down to salute, and asked respectfully, "My lords, do you have any orders?"

"Our great Zanpu raised life-saving pasture for you, now you catch up with your cattle and sheep, go to Shan Zengtou's Zhuangzi, and feed your cattle there." The team said One of the leaders said.

Qiangba was so surprised that he couldn't believe it, he kowtowed vigorously, "May the Buddha bless the great Zanpu."

"Okay, let's go." The adult said, "I have to inform other people." After saying that, turning the horse's head, a group of people rushed into the snowstorm again, and sent a message to the nearby yurt.

"Finally there is grass to feed the cows!" Gyatso and I heard it through the crack of the door just now, and ran out excitedly to cheer. Gyatso even walked around in the snow shirtless and jumped a few times. .

"Gyatso, put on your clothes, let's drive the cattle." Jamba picked up his whip.

"I'm going too." I said.

Jampa and Gyatso shook their heads together. "You'd better not go. The wind and snow will freeze you to death. We don't have two hundred yaks to treat your illness."

I insisted: "I'm going when it's windy and snowy. You two don't have enough hands." The darkness of snowy nights on the plateau is so dark that you can't see your fingers. Walking on such snowy nights, cattle can easily slip and fall into the mountain stream. People are also prone to accidents if they fall to their deaths.There are hundreds of cows in our family, and the two of them can't take care of them.

"My body is already very good now, you don't have to worry about me." To prove it, I threw away my arms and danced Guozhuang in the snow a few times, then looked at Qiangba and Gyatso pitifully, "I think I can Help, don't want to be a useless burden."

Gyatso rubbed my head.Among the four brothers, Gyatso and I have the best relationship, and he couldn't bear my pitiful and innocent expression comparable to Gesanghua.

So he also put on the same expression as mine, blinking and looking at Qiangba.

Then my mastiff, Gesanghua, also ran over, tilted his head, and looked at Qiangba.The three of us looked the same.

Qiangba finally succumbed, "Go with Yangjin, hurry up, there is a lot of pasture at Shan Zengtou's place, and if you go late, you may not be able to eat anything."

We set to work immediately.In fact, there is nothing to prepare. Each of us has only one robe to wear, and all we can do is tie the robe tightly.

Gyatso's robe was still wet, and he wore Tsering's robe.Qiangba wrapped the horse's legs with thick fur to prevent the horse's legs from being injured.The strongest yaks drove in the front, let them break the hard ice shell, the calves drove in the middle, I was with the calves, and we set off like this.

Before departure, Danzhu stuffed a pack of fried highland barley into each of us.Hugging the warm barley in my arms, thinking that the cows can finally eat their fill, I feel that the wind and snow are not so cold anymore.
