Chapter 40 Mutation

The snow in the Western Regions seems like a boring Korean drama, but it is actually a TV series... The hunting plan is pushed up again and again, Yun Xiao had to watch the snow scene that had no feelings, watch again and again, watch again and again.

The seven-day snow made Yun Xiao truly see what it means to be a blizzard. Fortunately, the snow on the grassland is very strong and the wind is not small. The wind in Helan Mountain is very strong, and the snow on the ground is swept and thrown outside the city before it has been stored. Then the snow outside the city is thrown in again. Yun Xiao helplessly watched the city siege for seven days.

God finally sifted the snowflakes in the dustpan, and the big golden crow poked its head out of the horizon again. The golden light once again enveloped the earth. The white snow on the ground reflected the long-lost sunlight into a bit dazzling, and everyone was dressed like a giant beast in the wilderness.

The Donghu people were covered with animal skins of various colors, and they were walking on the street like monsters in the cold wind.

Yun Xiao rode on the horse, and now he regretted giving his carriage to the Donghu King. At this time, he should sit in the warm carriage, rather than riding on the horse to drink the wind. However, thinking of the beautiful Danxia scenery in Zhangye, Yun Xiao thought it was worth it to be freezing.

And I heard that there are hot springs in the mountains, which makes Yun Xiao feel itchy. Soaking a hot spring in a foreign country should be a good choice.

With infinite longing for Danxia landform, Yun Xiao came out of Zhangye City under the guidance of the great manager. What Yun Xiao did not expect was that Zhangye's ecological environment in the Han Dynasty was so good. There were actually large areas of poplar forests so close to the city.

It is said that poplar is a sacred tree in the sky. It has roots for thousands of years and sprouts for thousands of years and has grown for thousands of years. Even if it is cut off, it will not fall for thousands of years after death. Even if it falls away, it will not fall for thousands of years. With such a characterful growth process, it is no wonder that poplar forests are almost extinct in the 21st century.

The blizzard stopped and the small animals trapped in the cave were all coming out to find food. The goshawk opened his bow and arrow, and in a short while several hares hung on his horse's butt. This guy is now interested in the eagle hovering in the sky, but the golden eagle flew too high and could not shoot with all his strength. The goshawk then had to give up.

Fifty miles away from the city, there is a very large manor, which belongs to Zalanding. Yun Xiao did not see Zalanding at the door of the manor, which made him frown.

A manager ran to the front of the manager and said after saluting, "The king sent someone to call the eldest prince back to the city in the morning. When the eldest prince left, he told us to treat the Han envoy well. After he met the king, he came to hunt with the Han envoy in the mountains."

"The Han envoy asked to forgive the crime. The eldest prince was summoned by the king. He also asked the Han envoy to rest for a day. I think the eldest prince will come back tomorrow. There are excellent hot springs in the village. The Han envoy can enjoy it."

The manager said very respectfully, and Yun Xiao had to nod helplessly. It was a big deal to serve his father, and Zalanding's father was still the King of Donghu.

The manor in Zalanding is very large, covering an area of ​​more than 30 tiles. If it were in Chang'an, it would probably be so big. However, this is nothing in the Western Regions where the land is vast and sparsely populated. I heard that a large area along the Tata River is the manor of King Donghu. Where is the wetlands in summer are beautiful and cool. King Donghu often spends summer vacations there all summer.

The Great Manager was very flattering to Yun Xiao. Although Donghu didn’t have many delicious foods, the Great Manager was moved by this tricky envoy because he received Yun Xiao’s rewards these days.

Hand-stepping mutton is a traditional Western Region delicacy. Yun Xiao had eaten it on the Inner Mongolia grassland before. It was the first time he ate hand-stepping mutton in Donghu. This kind of thing is usually eaten by herdsmen. Hand-stepping mutton plus the unique pickled wild onions on the grassland are foods that herdsmen like. However, the upper class of Donghu was not interested in this delicacy. What they liked was roasted whole lamb with honey water.

There were actually fresh cantaloupes here, which surprised Yun Xiao.

Since I arrived in Donghu, I have eaten dried cantaloupe. Today I actually ate fresh cantaloupe, which made Yun Xiao, who hadn't eaten cantaloupe for several years, feasted.

"Master, why do I always eat dried cantaloupe melons when I come to Donghu? But do you have fresh cantaloupe melons here?"

Eating the sweet and delicious cantaloupe, Yun Xiao raised his question.

"What does the Han envoy call this? Hami melon? We all call it melon. This thing is not considered a delicacy in Donghu. It doesn't even need to be planted. There are many in the mountains. Children of herdsmen often go to the mountains to pick up some, and nobles don't eat this kind of cheap food. They only eat dried melons, because after drying, the food contains the power of the sun god. It will make the life that eats it, and the body is strong and the disease is not affected.

There is a cellar in this manor, and the herdsmen have hidden some. I also discovered it by chance today, so I used it to let the Han envoy taste it. If the Han envoy likes it, you can bring more when you go back."

Yun Xiao was depressed. The dried fruits contained the mysterious power of the sun. I have heard of ultraviolet sterilization, but Yun Xiao couldn't see any need for sterilization.

Hami melon is very resistant to storage. Sometimes it doesn’t have any problems at room temperature for a month. I believe that at such low temperatures, it should not be a big problem to store for three or two months.

After eating a whole cool and delicious cantaloupe, Yun Xiao felt that eating mutton with hand-stewed mutton is not that greasy. In winter, fruits and fruits are rare. Only those guys who are superstitious about the sun god will keep fresh fruits and eat dried fruits and eat them.

The eagle, the Canghu, and Batu were even more enjoyable to eat. Following Yun Xiao, he also learned to be a lot of tricky words, especially after the Yun family had greenhouse vegetables. Even Batu, who was not happy with meat, would often get a cucumber or something to eat.

I have been to Donghu for so long, so don’t think about green food. Now even canned fruits are available in limited quantities, after all, so much is brought. Now every soldier can only eat half a canned yellow peach every day, which makes Yun Jiaxiang Yong, who is scheming, very uncomfortable.

"Master, please help me buy a batch of melons. I will send it to my residence in the city and pay cash."

It is rare to see fruits and vegetables in the middle of winter. With this thing, you may be able to fill the tricks of the villagers.

After enjoying the sumptuous lunch, the manager took Yun Xiao to the hot spring bathroom.

The bathroom is very luxurious, comparable to the Yun family's. The maid used a wooden shovel to put ice and snow in the steaming hot spring water. Obviously, the temperature of the hot spring is not low.

After the blended hot spring water flowed through a gate along the sink, it was injected into the white marble bath. Yun Xiao tried it with his hands, and it was just right for the cold and heat.

The manager was very eye-catching, and patted the waiters in the bathroom and retreated. Only six young girls with masks were left here.

The Eagle and Canghu carefully checked each corner and saw that there were indeed only six girls. They also saw that there was nothing else that could be used as weapons except the wooden shovel. Then they retreated with confidence and guarded the door with a sabre.

The fog in the bathroom was steaming, and the maids' clothes were so thin that they could not be exposed. The two maids stepped forward and untied Yun Xiao's clothes.

The hot spring water was very hot, and Yun Xiao closed his eyes comfortably. This hot spring was a little different from the soup spring on Mount Yunjia Li, as if there were more minerals inside. Even if it was blended with a lot of snow water, the skin still made it smooth, as if it was soaped.

The sound of water sounded, and Yun Xiao opened his eyes slightly. Two maids removed their thin clothes and walked into the pool. Four slippery little hands kneaded Yun Xiao's body, looking like they were professionals. They also had some strength in their hands, especially when pressing on their shoulders and necks, which was very comfortable.

Yun Xiao almost moaned, and the two maids looked at Yun Xiao with their little mouths smiling.

Yun Xiao couldn't bear the seductive eyes of the alien girl, and the little brother slowly reacted. He stood up and explored around, hoping to find a warm place to get in.

The two alien girls obviously saw Yun Xiao's reaction and laughed and rubbed Yun Xiao's shoulders and backs. Suddenly, the two looked at each other, and their powerful hands held Yun Xiao's shoulder blades at the same time. At the same time, a jade hand stuck Yun Xiao's neck, and Yun Xiao was immediately captured like a chicken.

"Han makes you so free..." A cold voice came into Yun Xiao's ears. (To be continued...)
