On Zhu Zhan's side.
At this moment, they were still wandering around their plains.
The thick hooves of the horses rustled on the grass. The cold wind blew, but their footsteps did not stop at all.
In the distance, a fat rabbit seemed to have sensed the movement outside. Just as it poked its head out to check, a flying sword stabbed it into the ground in the next moment.
Zhu Zhanxin waved his hand, and the flying sword flew back with the wild rabbit.
This scene did not attract the attention of the soldiers. Such a thing had happened countless times in the past few days.
At first, they were a little surprised and afraid, but later on, they realized that His Highness only attacked some animals, so they slowly relaxed a little.
Of course, even though he said so, he still couldn't help but sigh with emotion every time he saw this miraculous technique.
"Fifth brother, are you sure you didn't go to the wrong place? We've been walking for two days.”
Zhu Zhanji leaned over and asked.
"It should be the right place."
He laughed awkwardly and looked at Zhu Zhanji with a guilty conscience.
"Should be?"
Zhu Zhanji was stunned. This was the grasslands, and once one lost their way, they would die.
"Didn't you say you wouldn't get lost?”
"Yes, I am."
Zhu Zhan Xin nodded.
"Then what's going on?"
Zhu Zhanji looked at him helplessly.
"I'm not lost. I just don't know where I am.”
Zhu Zhanji was speechless. Why did he believe his nonsense at that time?
Actually, Zhu Zhan Xin wasn't lying. One had to know that getting lost and not knowing the way were two different things.
He didn't know where he was now, but he knew the way back. He had left his mark on the road, so it was impossible for him to get lost.
"Forget it, let me do it."
Zhu Zhanji sighed and took out the map. He looked at it carefully and compared it again.
"That way."
Zhu Zhanji pointed to the side and led the way.
"Actually, big brother, you don't have to worry. This grassland is only so big, so we'll be able to meet people eventually.”
Zhu Zhan smiled.
As for the issue of supplies, there was no need to worry about that.
There were rivers everywhere in the Hetao region. There was no need to worry about fresh water. With rivers, food was naturally not a problem.
Although the grassland was not good this year, many animals still survived. At the very least, there were many fish in the river.
Earlier, they had already fished up a large amount of fish by the river, and now, the soldiers of the 3,000 Battalion were still carrying a lot of smoked dried fish.
You might have to ask, if there was food, why did Wala still go south? They could survive this winter by relying on fish.
First of all, you have to understand one thing.
Food was indeed one of the reasons why Wala had come south, but the most important reason was that they lacked warm clothing.
As nomads, they didn't have clothes like cotton. Most of their clothes were made from animal fur.
But now, the production of cattle and sheep had decreased, and the remaining fur was not enough to support them through the winter.
There was also the fish catch. Food had always been an important issue for the nomads.
Indeed, in summer, the women and children of the tribe would go fishing in the river to make a living.
However, their method was to insert fish. They did not have fishing nets at all, and the fish they caught were just enough to eat.
There was no way to use it as food for the winter.
Moreover, it was almost winter. The water in the river was bone-chilling. If they went down to fish rashly, they would die.
Their medical technology was not developed. Once they fell sick, most of them could only endure it.
As for how Zhu Zhan Xin caught the fish, he directly let the fish jump up on their own, and the soldiers of the 3,000 Battalion could just pick them up from the shore.
If it were anyone else, they could only stare at the river in a daze.
Therefore, he was not worried about food and water. What was there to be anxious about?
At most, he would just treat it as a tour around the Hetao area and clean up the Wala people he met on the way.
That was what he thought, but Zhu Zhanji was anxious. Since he was here, he had to do something.
He would not encounter such a good opportunity again.
The Wala army was in a stalemate at the front, and behind them were the old, weak, women, and children.
There was still Zhu Zhanshi and the three thousand battalions. As long as they didn't run into the Wala army, he was confident that he could devour them all.
……
The tribe.
"Zaha 'er, go milk some goat milk. Your sister is hungry.”
A woman's voice came from inside the tent.
"Got it, Amma."
Then, a boy wrapped in a thin body walked out of the tent. The cold wind made him shiver.
He took the water bag sewn from animal skin and quickly ran into the sheep pen.
"Uncle Sieg, I'm here to get some goat milk for my sister.”
He looked at the tent outside the sheep pen and shouted out his purpose for coming.
The man walked out of the tent and looked at him. He nodded and then immediately shrank back.
He walked into the sheep pen and looked at the few thin and small sheep curled up in the cold wind. His eyes gradually dimmed.
Once upon a time, this huge sheep pen was filled with tall fat sheep, but now it had become like this.
It was all because of the war a few years ago that their tribe had not only lost many warriors, but also many cattle and sheep.
This year, the grassland was in a drought, and winter came early. The adults in the tribe had no choice but to discuss going south again.
Before they left, they took away the few remaining cattle and sheep, leaving them with a few female goats.
Now, the newborn children in the tribe had to rely on the sheep's milk to support themselves. As for milk, they had long stopped due to the lack of food.
Therefore, in order to distribute the little food left, these ewe were guarded by people. They could only be used as long as the children needed milk.
Another gust of cold wind blew past. He shook his head and threw away the distracting thoughts in his mind.
His sister at home was still waiting for the goat's milk. He could not stay here for too long.
Then, he squeezed into the flock of sheep and picked a female sheep that looked like it had enough milk.
Then, she squatted down and began to milk the cow skillfully.
As the warm goat's milk flowed into the water bag, a special fragrance wafted out. He could not help but swallow his saliva.
In the past, he would drink this goat's milk every day until he vomited, but now he craved it so much.
However, he also understood that this was for his sister. He had already grown up. Without his father, he had to support this family.
