Rebirth on the top of the mountain, my herding career

In the following days, Qin Xifeng inspected the vicinity of Pass No. 4 from time to time, but found nothing unusual.

"Xifeng, my contact person came to see me today and told me some new information. The person you met on the snow peak that day was probably not Shadili."

That afternoon, just after Qin Xifeng came back from the mountains, Atik came to his residence.

He said that the task force had already investigated Xia Dili. According to the timeline, when Qin Xifeng met the "Xia Dili", the real Xia Dili had been staying in the village.

"The task force will not be mistaken on this point, because there are many witnesses who can testify that Shadili never left the village that day."

Some people saw Shadili going to the river to fetch water, some saw him taking care of livestock, and some others chatted with Shadili for a long time...

Unless he can fly, it would be impossible for him to appear on the snowy peak at the same time.

"This is weird. Are there really two people who look exactly the same in the world? Couldn't the person I met at that time be Xia Dili's twin brother?"

Qin Xifeng shook his head helplessly.

"I don't know about this. The task force will continue to investigate. By the way, the contact person also said that according to the information obtained by the task force, those people may have a big deal in the near future, maybe within half a month.

..."

Atik told Qin Xifeng not to take care of the livestock at home recently. At this time of year, there is no need to go out to graze every day, and there is still a lot of fodder stored at home.

The focus during this period is still to focus on the surrounding area of ​​Pass No. 4.

"Abba, I always feel that waiting for something to happen is not a good idea. These people are secretive and should have a strong sense of anti-reconnaissance. Can we deliberately relax a little these days?"

Qin Xifeng didn't know how many "hidden sentries" there were along the long border, but they were definitely not a few.

This may cause the group to feel stressed and temporarily cease their activities.

Qin Xifeng's meaning is to be loose on the outside and tight on the inside. Recently, let's try to confuse the other party.

"Your suggestion makes sense. I will find time to talk to them."

Atik sat for a while, then stood up and left.

Qin Xifeng went to fetch water for a shower, then changed his clothes and rode to find Gulidan.

"Xifeng, haven't you had dinner yet? I'll make butter custard and nut pancakes later. You can eat them at my house."

Gu Lidan went to see Qin Xifeng in the past few days, but he was not around.

At this time, I felt very happy to see him come to me.

"No, my grandma has already cooked my meal. I'd better go back to eat. Gulidan, you are busy with your work. I will chat with you for a while and then leave."

Qin Xifeng greeted Gulidan's parents and then accompanied Gulidan to prepare dinner outside the yurt.

"Xifeng, my eldest brother is getting married next month. My father said that I must invite you to the wedding..."

Gulidan's family had a good impression of Qin Xifeng, so they extended an invitation to him early, treating him as a very close person.

"Congratulations, congratulations! I will definitely participate. By the way, I remember you said that your future sister-in-law is from the village closest to us?"

Qin Xifeng first congratulated Gulidan, and then suddenly mentioned the nearby Tasha Xinghua Village.

The nearby villages are called Xinghua Village. The local valleys and river valleys are covered with almond trees. During the flowering season, each village is covered with snow-white and fragrant, just like a fairyland on earth.

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

Gulidan didn't understand why Qin Xifeng suddenly mentioned this.

"Nothing, I'm just asking."

Qin Xifeng smiled and stopped talking.

"You go and play, I'll cook."

At this time, Gulidan's mother walked out of the house. She took the big spoon from Gulidan's hand and drove them away with a smile.

"Xifeng, let's go see the almond blossoms."

Just before, Qin Xifeng mentioned Tasha Apricot Blossom Village, and Gulidan wanted to see the apricot blossoms in the river valley.

The apricot blossoms have just bloomed this season, which is a good time to enjoy the flowers.

The two rode side by side, trusting the reins, and arrived outside their village at a leisurely pace.

Standing on a high slope, looking around, you can see the vibrant villages hidden in the sea of ​​flowers. Under the snow-capped mountains and beside the river valleys, the fragrance of apricot blossoms spread all over the mountains and plains...

Really beautiful!

"Xifeng, Sister Yujia has written a letter. She asked me to say hello to you. Sister Yujia said that she will have a vacation in a while and wants to come to our place to play. Actually, what is there to do here?"

The two of them looked at the picturesque scenery in front of them and were silent for a long time.

In the end, it was Gulidan who spoke first.

"Song Yujia still has time for vacation, so come and play if you want. I don't know what fun things we have here.

But I know that this is a rare pure land, a place where the soul can calm down. Gulidan, let’s go back.”

After Qin Xifeng finished speaking, he turned the horse's head and rode back.

Halfway down the road, the two met Gulidan's eldest brother. Her eldest brother went to see his fiancée today and didn't come back until this time.

Qin Xifeng chatted with the other party for a while, then separated from the two brothers and sisters and went home for dinner.

The next day.

Neither Qin Xifeng nor Atik went up the mountain in the morning.

Atik went to the corral to feed the livestock with fodder and clean water. Qin Xifeng cleaned the corral and pulled a cart of fertilizer to the biogas digester.

"Brother Xifeng, let me do it."

At the edge of the marsh gas, Qin Xifeng saw Zhang Meng. He always liked to hang around here when he had nothing to do. He didn't know if he missed the digging process of those days.

"Mengzi, how about you help me pull and feed materials every two days? Don't worry, I won't treat you badly."

Qin Xifeng didn't want his relationship with Zhang Meng to turn into a money transaction relationship with Chi Guoguo, so he kept it very vague.

"Okay, I'm willing to help you with the work. But I won't ask for payment. My dad said that you have helped my family a lot, so you should be grateful."

Zhang Meng nodded in agreement and then explained.

Qin Xifeng smiled and shook his head, but didn't say much.

Zhang Meng was indeed very energetic and quickly unloaded a load of materials by himself, not forgetting to close the feeding port in the end.

"Mengzi, are you familiar with the people in Tasha Xinghua Village?"

After finishing their work, the two returned the oxcart to the corral. Qin Xifeng suddenly thought that this boy liked to wander around the most, so he asked casually.

"It's familiar. I'm familiar with several surrounding villages. Just tell me what you want to ask."

Unexpectedly, Zhang Meng was still an "inquirer", which surprised Qin Xifeng.

"Do you know Shadili? Do you know anything about him?"

Qin Xifeng had a little expectation at this time. Even though Zhang Meng was only sixteen years old, such a young man could often find out some little secrets.

"Xia Dili, I know that guy is very close to some cattle and sheep traders. He is very stingy. I once went to their village and wanted to ask for a bowl of milk tea from his house. Not only did he not give it, he also drove me away.

Already..."

"Then do you know how many brothers and sisters Xia Dili has?"

"He is the only one in their family. I heard that he had a twin brother in the past, but he went out to herd sheep when he was very young and never came back. He probably died..."

Unexpectedly and within reason, Zhang Meng really brought a surprise to Qin Xifeng.

According to Zhang Meng, the Xia Dili family's popularity in the village is very poor, and there are very few people who can still remember this incident.

He heard this from a neighbor of Shadili.

"Mengzi, you go back first, and remember to come over often to help me feed."

Qin Xifeng was very happy. This situation could explain a lot of problems. He needed to report to the task force in time.
