"Huh~" Breathing out a cold breath, Li Ping found it special as soon as she entered here.

It's warm, like being next to a fire or in the warm sun in winter.

Surprised and delighted, Li Ping hugged her son and the little yellow cat together in her arms.Originally, she was also worried about what to do if her son caught a cold and had a fever in such a cold day, and there was no doctor at all.

it's good now!

Miao Le:......

The situation seems to be a little bit wrong, this year's shit shoveling officer seems to be a bit miserable.

After resting for more than an hour, Li Ping felt that the wind and snow were a little lighter, and Li Ping recovered a little strength, so she packed her things and started to set off.

In this uninhabited place, she is a woman with a child, and she can't survive for long with only this little food, so she has to look for human habitation.

It was a white day, and Li Ping didn't know the direction at all, so she had to walk aimlessly.

If it feels like it’s getting dark, I’ll find a leeward place to hide, eat, rest, and nurse my baby.

What surprised her was that the kitten didn't eat, drink, or pull. It only kicked her own son when it touched his tail with its little hands, and slept soundly most of the time.

With this temperament, if he hadn't met himself, he might have been eaten casually by a passing beast.

Walking and walking, what surprised her in the middle of the journey was that she never met or even heard the sound of a wild animal along the way.

After about three days, Li Ping found out in a panic that she was about to eat up all her food, but she hadn't seen any human beings yet.

This is a world of ice and snow, nothing is useless, do you want to eat snow?

Li Ping hesitated for a while, looking at the kitten in her arms, lost in thought.

Miao Le:? ? ?

Women are too scary!

Miao Le quickly raised his claws and pointed to the northwest.

Li Ping's eyes lit up, and he set off again. Sure enough, half an hour later, he saw a big tent with two small tents around it.

"Is anyone there?" Li Ping hurried forward and called.

She is a woman with a newborn child, and she can only seek help from other people in this vast grassland and desert.

After a while, a woman came out of the tent, she was very vigilant, but seeing Li Ping relaxed a lot, and seeing the child in her arms, she hurriedly called her in.

After a while, hot milk and meat were served.

Although Li Ping couldn't understand what they said, she could feel their kindness and could only smile at them while eating.

Smile is the best way for human beings to communicate.

After eating, the woman arranged for Li Ping to rest at the corner of the tent.

There is a whole layer of fur under the tent, which is very warm.

But Li Ping didn't sleep well that night, first because she had to get up frequently to feed her baby; second: she had the habit of urinating before going to bed, but she was a little embarrassed, so she had to hold back for most of the night.

In the end, I couldn't bear it anymore. I climbed out of the tent, went to the leeward corner, and unbuttoned my pants. In an instant, I felt cold.

wow wow wow~

Finally, comfortable. (Special note: no matter how cold it is, the urine will not freeze, no need to knock!)

Then he hurried back to the warm room and fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, early in the morning.

The women herdsmen were very sad because overnight, a lamb froze to death at home.

Then the whole family and Li Ping, except the hostess, happily ate the stewed mutton together. Although only a little salt was added, it was very fragrant.

Miao Le couldn't stop eating.

However, the herdsman was a little unhappy when he saw that his food was fed to a cat. After Li Ping sent out some silver scraps, everyone was instantly happy.

Even in the grasslands, broken silver is still useful.

After winter, there will be big tribes celebrating festivals and holding markets in many places. These scraps of silver can be used to buy good things in the big tribes: iron pots, seasonings, tea bricks, cubs of cattle and sheep, etc.

......

In winter, the herders have nothing to do. They feed the cattle and sheep the prepared pasture, and deal with the stored fur, milk wine, meat, etc. In the rest of the time, Li Ping takes the opportunity to ask the herders about their language.

She is still a wanted criminal of the imperial court, and it is impossible to return to Song Dynasty again. There is a high probability that she will stay here for a long time. It is necessary to integrate into this place after learning the words here.

Thinking about it, Li Ping felt sad. Her husband and uncle had served the Song Dynasty and resisted the Jin army all their lives.As a result, after Jin Ren said something, Da Song directly wanted their family, without giving them any chance to defend themselves.

This damn world.

A month later, Li Ping was finally able to communicate in daily life. She was a little surprised to find that she was learning quite quickly.

It's a pity, a good material for reading.

Now that they can communicate, Li Ping helps the herdsmen every day while taking care of her son: cleaning up, feeding grass, skinning sheep, etc.

It is benevolent and righteous for others to entertain you, but it is shameless to lie down and enjoy yourself.

Of course, Li Ping also has her own thoughts.While working, she is also asking for advice on how to feed these animals, what precautions to take, and how to skin and kill sheep.

She is a peasant woman, and she often kills chickens and ducks at home. She is good at farm work, and she is quick to learn these things by analogy.

Soon she became part of the family because of her enthusiasm and quick work.

Of course, the little yellow cat lies on top of the tent every day, keeping away from the bear children.

In fact, this family is also pitiful. It is said that the males were conscripted by the big tribes to go to war. It has been a year and there is no news at all. Now only women, old people and children are left.

The woman's name is Gegen, which seems to mean good weather.

As the winter gradually passed, Li Ping also learned a lot of little knowledge about living in the grasslands. Maybe because she hadn't bathed for a long time, her body smelled very strong, and the little yellow cat didn't pay much attention to her now.

Every time she wanted to hug the little yellow cat, she felt that his nose shrugged, and she disliked herself very much. Sometimes she even pointed her buttocks at her, pawing at the snow with her paws.

Li Ping: ...

Isn't this the action of the kittens in the village to bury their excrement?

Finally, the heavy snow gradually melted, the grass began to sprout, and the grassland ushered in spring again.

Ge Gen even knelt on the ground to thank Changshengtian for his blessing.

After asking, Li Ping found out that the two most terrifying things in winter are the attacks of hungry wild animals and the sickness of the elderly and children.

The most ferocious beasts are wild wolves. They will not only take away sheep, but also kill other sheep in the sheepfold.

As for illness, for grassland people, every winter is a disaster for the elderly and children. Without medicine, a little illness may take their lives away.

Hearing Ge Gen's description, Li Ping remembered that nothing happened to her and her son throughout the winter.

Is it really the blessing of Changshengtian?

Li Ping looked up and looked at the little yellow cat sitting on the top of the tent. The sun shone on his body, the golden light was dazzling, and his small body seemed to look down on the world.

Li Ping suddenly realized.

He can bring good luck and drive away wild animals, which is a real beast.

In this grassland, he is more likely to be the king of this land!

Shaking the well-behaved son in his hand, Li Ping said happily: "Jing'er, grow up quickly, you will have multiple godfathers in the future!"

Miao Le: ???

……

Chapter 0226 Secret

In rural areas, since ancient times, there has been a saying that godfathers can prevent disasters, so sometimes parents will ask their children to worship godfathers when they see that their children are physically weak since childhood.

Some directly worship the Lord of the Land or the sacred tree as their godfather.

The 15th year of Chunxi in the Southern Song Dynasty (1188 AD).

Under the auspices of Li Ping, Guo Jing, who was only four months old, paid homage to a god-brother. There were red envelopes as tributes, and the ceremony was full.

At first Li Ping wanted to worship her godfather, but no matter how much she called Miao Le, she couldn't get down from the tent, so she had to settle for the next best thing.

pity.

Miao Le said that he just wanted to be a waste, wouldn't it be hard work if he had multiple sons?

In March, the plants recover, the trees sprout and the grass emerges.

Li Ping followed Gegen to a market held by a nearby tribe, where she used all her money to buy a tent, ten lambs, an ewe, some daily necessities, and an old horse.

She is an outsider, so it is naturally impossible to live in the same room with Gegen all the time.Besides, there is an old man in Gergen's house, and it is very inconvenient for her daughter to do some private things sometimes, such as taking a bath.

This year, she decided to raise a few sheep first, to get familiar with the grassland and the way of life of the grassland people with the Gegen family, and to take care of each other.

In the future, when she is familiar with how to take care of sheep, she can raise more.In this way, when Jing'er grows up, she can have a big flock and marry Jing'er a wife!

Li Ping thought very well.

At the beginning, it was exactly as she thought, and everything went smoothly. Because of hard work and simplicity, the sheep in the family grew fast, and the son also grew up slowly.

When he was half a year old, his son would even call his mother, tearing her up with excitement, and even thinking that it would be great if the husband-in-law Guo Xiaotian was there at this time.

Excited for a while, Li Ping pointed to the little yellow cat sleeping next to her and said, "Brother! Brother!"

Guo Jing opened his mouth, but didn't react for a long time.

Li Ping was a little helpless. She found that her son seemed to be a little dumb. Could it be that he was kicked stupid by the little yellow cat when he was sleeping when he was a child?

Looking at the sleeping little yellow cat, Li Ping suddenly remembered that she had never given him a name.

Lele?

This name suddenly flashed in her mind, after thinking about it, she was very satisfied, and grabbed her son's little hand: "Brother Le, Brother Le!"

Guo Jing: "Ba, Baba~"

Miao Le: ...

The days gradually calmed down. With her son as a pillar, everything in life has hope. It seems that when Li Ping returned to the countryside again, she worked at sunrise and rested at sunset.

That is, when she went out to herd sheep and cut grass, because no one was watching at home, she had to carry her son on her back all the time.

Because I heard from Gegen that there are many wild beasts in the grassland, and children are often taken away by those wild beasts, and very few of the children who were taken away survived.

Herdsmen cannot graze in one place all the time. Cattle and sheep eat grass quickly, so they have to change places to graze frequently. Otherwise, the pasture will not be fat enough, the cattle and sheep will not grow meat, and their fur will not be shiny, so they will not be able to sell for a price.

And if you keep grazing in one place, the roots of the grass will be eaten, and the grass will not grow back in the next year.

Unknowingly, in the summer, Guo Jing was already eight months old, and he started to babble, wanting to learn whenever he saw it.

Even Li Ping felt that he had learned the language of cats, and also imitated Lele to do various actions.

Once she went out to urinate, and when she came back, she saw her son put his head on his lap, which almost frightened her.

Li Ping finally relaxed after checking carefully to make sure her son was fine.

What surprised her even more was that Lele hadn't grown up at all in such a long time, and the cattle and sheep of their family had never encountered a wild animal.

Even celestial eagles are seldom seen hovering above their pastures.

"This is the real king!" Li Ping secretly sighed in her heart.

……

Summer is coming to an end soon, and Li Ping has to prepare pasture for horses and sheep for the winter.

If the food in winter is not good, the value of mutton and wool will be greatly reduced in the coming year.

There are two ways to preserve pasture.

First: Bundle the forage grass and place it on the grass frame. The thickness of each layer is about three feet or more and keep it fluffy and at a certain slope to facilitate lighting and drainage.

The second method is: dry the pasture for a while, then cut the pasture into the length of the thumb, and put the cut pasture into the green storage cellar.

Note that when filling green fodder, it should be loaded layer by layer. Each layer is about one foot thick. After stepping on it, continue to fill to prevent air leakage and water permeability. You can spread fur around the green storage cellar; Capable of being capped.

Of course, in Li Ping's situation, the second option is definitely not needed, and that is something only big tribes have to consider.
