Wang Xiaochuan was not feeling well, so he naturally could not keep watch at night. Therefore, the responsibility of keeping watch at night fell on Xu Haisheng.
Xu Haisheng smiled honestly.
"Anyway, it's my turn to keep watch. Xiaochuan, you should rest well. Leave the responsibility of keeping watch to me. Uncle Dong, you guys should rest too!”
Wang Xiaochuan forced a grateful smile.
"Thank you, Brother Xu. Next time it's your turn to keep watch, I'll take your place!”
"What's there to replace? It's not a big deal. Go and rest. Leave the night watch to me!”
Thus, everyone went back to sleep.
The next day, Uncle Dong and the others woke up early because of their biological clock.
Xu Jinyan opened his eyes in a daze." You're up so early?”
The sun was still rising in the sky, and it was about five in the morning.
Uncle Dong answered as he put away the blanket and sheepskin jacket.
"It's getting late. We woke up early in the village. Now, we're afraid that the horses will get separated and it's not easy to find them.”
Seeing that everyone else had gotten up, Xu Jinyan could not continue lying down. He exhaled and got up with difficulty.
He stretched and yawned. He took a breath of the fresh morning air on the prairie and felt his entire body become carefree.
"The air on the grassland is so good! How fresh!"
Uncle Dong chimed in from the side," That's right. Let's not talk about other things in our grasslands, but the environment is definitely better than in your city. Even breathing in the air is filled with the fragrance of grass.”
Xu Jinyan smiled and said," It's not just the environment. There are also people. The herdsmen here are mostly warm and honest. As long as they do their job well, they don't have to be wary of others harming them.”
He couldn't help but think of the people from the Siheyuan. There was no harm without comparison.
Forget it, what was the point of thinking about those disgusting things?
Xu Jinyan faced Lake Hala and stretched out his arms. He felt the moisture on the surface of the lake, closed his eyes, and began to look forward to the future.
"Phew, how good is this? This is the life I want!”
On the other side, Uncle Dong and the others had already packed their luggage and were about to start a fire to make breakfast.
There were still three big fish left after last night's meal.
Uncle Dong frowned as he held the fish." What a pity. Such a good fish should be stewed in soup. Add some dried mushrooms in and the taste will be very nourishing."”
Old Guo nodded and said," Old Dong, don't say anymore. I'm drooling."”
"Haha, you're the only one who's greedy. It's a pity that we didn't bring a pot! I can only roast it and eat it. It's a waste!"
At this moment, Xu Jinyan suddenly said," Pot? I do!"
As he spoke, he took out a small iron pot from his bag, or in fact, from his space. It wasn't big, but it should be enough to cook fish soup.
Uncle Dong and the others were dumbfounded!
"Xiao Xu! Why did you bring a pot with you when you grazed?"
Xu Jinyan smiled and thought to himself, Of course, it's because I want to have a bowl of delicious fish soup on such a morning!
But he couldn't say this out loud, so he could only explain," I thought that since I've been out grazing for so long, I can't always eat dry rations, right? He brought a pot out, thinking that he would have the chance to cook some wild game to satisfy his craving!”
Wang Xiaochuan had rested for the night. The two stalks of licorice had only alleviated his symptoms. His body had not fully recovered.
She was still a little weak, but when she heard that Xu Jinyan had taken care of her before, she still forced herself to be excited.
"Little Xu, you're too thoughtful! Do we have fish soup to drink?"
Uncle Dong and the others also laughed. They had long been sick of eating dry food. It was naturally best to drink fresh fish soup!
He did as he was told.
The water quality of the lake on the grassland was very good. The fish meat that was raised was delicate and fresh. It was the best to cook fish soup. The fish meat also melted in the mouth!
Xu Jinyan sat by the lake, holding a bowl of fish soup in his hand and slowly tasting it. He closed his eyes in enjoyment.
It was the right decision to graze this time!
After breakfast, the Wrangler team began to discuss their next journey.
Uncle Dong asked," Xiaochuan, how are you feeling now? Can you move normally?"
Wang Xiaochuan shook his head bitterly.
"My limbs feel weak. I drank some fish soup just now and I'm much better, but I still can't move normally.”
Xu Jinyan reminded her," You haven't fully recovered yet. Remember, you can't eat spicy food. You can't eat grilled fish either. You won't be able to digest dry food if you eat too much."”
It would be fine if he was in the village now. He would just lie at home for a few days. However, there was no one in the surrounding area. This was not easy.
Hearing Xu Jinyan's words, Uncle Dong and the others looked troubled. What should they do?!
Wang Xiaochuan lowered his head in self-reproach.
"It's all my fault for being greedy. I was originally sent here to protect you, but now I want you to take care of me."
Xu Jinyan comforted him." It's not all your fault. The conditions are too simple. It's also my fault for not preparing enough herbs in advance. Besides, we should help each other out when we're out grazing.”
Uncle Dong also said," Now is not the time to blame yourself. We have to think of a way to solve this problem!”
Everyone was in trouble. Only Ogawa knew how to use a shotgun and was responsible for the safety of the others.
With his fall, the team suddenly felt like their hands were tied.
At this moment, Xu Jinyan stood up and said," I'll go look for some herbs with mild medicinal properties nearby to help Xiaochuan recuperate!”
He was the only one in the entire Wrangler team who had some knowledge of medicinal herbs, and only he could solve the team's urgent needs.
When Uncle Dong heard this, his first reaction was to refuse.
The grassland was not as quiet as it seemed. What if Xiao Xu encountered a pack of wolves?!
However, when he turned around and thought about it, the wolves nearby had already been swept away by the hunting team, so he reminded them.
"Xiao Xu, just walk around here. Don't go too far. It's very dangerous in the wild!”
Xu Jinyan nodded in agreement and then headed in a certain direction.
Xu Jinyan recalled the contents of the Complete Solution to Wrangling Horses as he bent down to look for herbs that might be useful.
At the very least, he had to find some licorice.
Of course, it would be best if he could find some gentle and nourishing herbs. That way, Wang Xiaochuan's stomach disease would recover faster.
However, just as he was seriously looking for herbs, a low growl suddenly sounded in front of him. It sounded like a dog's bark, but it was even more ferocious than a dog's bark.
Xu Jinyan's body stiffened, and his hair stood on end.
He suddenly looked up and his pupils constricted!
It was indeed a wolf!
It was just a lone wolf that was all skin and bones, and it was blind in one eye!
