Chen Yan's change surprised me again. I really can't tell whether he is mature or naive. I just hope that he is a person who will not regret. Maybe his words are still so unreliable.

"Damn! My desirelessness means that I abandoned my previous life and let the past go. At that time, I was competitive, focused on interests, and ignored others. Only when I came here did I experience a kind of pressure-free love, pure love.

Love. I found that many people here are like this. Although their love is not purely material-free, it has almost nothing to do with material things. Where can there be love without material needs now? Only the feeling of love, two people

Mutual appreciation and liking are enough to attract me, and I like the concept of love here very much!" Chen Yan said.

"How do you know they have no material considerations? Besides, marriage and love are different. People cannot be in love for a lifetime. Love has a shelf life," I said.

I don’t understand Chen Yan’s love, and I can’t comment on it, but I can understand his current attitude towards life. Most people in big cities work hard to survive, thinking that they are living, and starting from hard work.

I enjoy life in the city, but compared to the life in Kashgar, it is all fast-paced and busy, without any leisurely relaxation.

In the short period of time I came to Kashgar, I had no pressure or worries. It can be said that I was very happy and didn’t have to worry about anything. Now, I have to start my business. Maybe in the future I won’t really think about going back to Shanghai.

.

The two of us ended this somewhat heavy topic and ate the naan we brought. The naan was baked yesterday and was very crispy. Chen Yan took out a pack of dried meat from the horseback, which was meat fried with dried chili peppers.

Dry.

"I invented it, you try it. There is no refrigerator here, so the meat they can't finish eating is cut into small strips and hung to dry and store. I see that when they eat air-dried meat, they still have to cook it for an hour or two before eating it, so I give it to them.

I improved it a bit and stir-fried it with dried chili peppers and Sichuan peppercorns." Chen Yan said.

I tasted it and it tasted quite good. It was salty and spicy, with a bit of cumin. Then Chen Yan magically took out a small pot from the bag carried by the horse. He picked up a few stones and built a stove.

He started boiling water with some dry firewood. This made me feel that this time was indeed a real herding. What was even more amazing was that I actually saw him take out coffee powder and filter paper and brew two cups of coffee.

"The water is mineral water, and the powder is roasted coffee beans from Guangxi. They are not good coffee beans. They taste bad and are worse than those from Yunnan. These are the coffee beans I went to the farm to find and picked myself. Here.

The conditions are poor. Yesterday I fried it in an iron pot, which can be regarded as roasting under direct fire, and ground it myself with a stone mortar. I like to drink coffee from Guangxi. I carry coffee beans or powder from my hometown wherever I go. I will buy it again online later.

Buy some, you can collect the goods for me and bring them to me when you come back." Chen Yan said as he sat doing these things.

"When did you become such a mother-in-law? I'm not particular about it. Even instant coffee is fine with me. Are you really not planning to go back to Kashgar? I found that there are more low-end Fu brick teas here, as well as Indian black tea. I have become accustomed to drinking it recently.

The taste is not that good, it has a strong bitter taste, which is worthy of the scenery and life here." I said.

"Alas! There aren't many people I can talk to here. When I see you, I might talk too much. If I need anything, I need your help, brother. I don't want to talk about these trivial things in front of Satiniti or your Tong Huawen.

Don't you feel that I'm already like a family man? The men here don't do housework, so I have a huge advantage, hahahaha!" Chen Yan said.

When the sun was about to go down, we were about to drive the sheep back, but there were a few missing. Chen Yan was a little annoyed. It was too much to lose the sheep for the first time. And we didn't know what to do.

I lost it at some point, so we walked slowly around the mountains. We didn’t go to many places, but it wasn’t easy to find it either.

Our mobile phones had no signal. I climbed up the mountain and saw a little signal. Mine was a China Mobile number, and Chen Yan had a local China Unicom number.

Chen Yan climbed up a hill with two people's mobile phones, and it took a long time to come down.

"Have you been contacted?" I asked.

"No, there is a signal bar, but I can't make a call. There is no network, and I can't send text messages." Chen Yan said a little frustrated.

"Lao Li, help drive these sheep back, and I'll go find those sheep," Chen Yan said.

"No, absolutely not, which is more important, a few sheep or a life!" I said this almost roaringly.

Chen Yan didn't expect me to suddenly lose his temper. He looked at me strangely, and I realized that I had lost my composure.

"I'm sorry, my girlfriend disappeared because she was looking for a lost sheep in a student's home in the mountains." I said.

"I'm not looking for it anymore. Just throw it away." Chen Yan was stunned for a moment and answered me.

We continued to walk back, but saw a horse running towards us in the distance, carrying smoke and dust. It was Satinti.

"I don't worry about you. I thought you were about to go home, so I came over to take a look." Xiao Sa said.

"I'm sorry, there are too few sheep. I will compensate your family when I go back." Chen Yan said to Xiao Sa with an innocent look on his face.

"Have sheep ever climbed the mountain?" Xiao Sa didn't seem surprised.

"Just live here." Chen Yan said.

"Please help me pull some weeds, a little more," said Satiniti.

Most of the grass here has been gnawed very short by the sheep. I took a knife and trimmed it for a long time but couldn't get much. The same goes for Chen Yan. But Xiao Sa didn't know where he cut it and already cut a lot of grass.

She put grass in front of some lambs and their mother, and watched the lambs and ewes eating grass.

"What is this for?" Chen Yan asked.

"There is a little bit of grass, so only the lambs. They will bleat when they eat grass. The stray sheep usually turn over to the mountains. If they hear that there is delicious grass here, they will come here on their own. I hope.

They can still hear," said Satiniti.

About twenty minutes later, I saw a few stray sheep appearing from nowhere and returning to the herd from the hillside.

When driving the sheep back, Chen Yan returned to his piglike self. He left me aside and was tired of Xiao Sa talking non-stop. When he came, the sheep ate and then walked away. When he went back, he went straight back, so it was better than in the morning.

It was much faster when we came out. This shows that we are not far from the village.

The secret to driving a flock of sheep is to manage the leader sheep well. The leader sheep will bleat while walking, and the other sheep will follow obediently. Therefore, I think my day is a rare experience, but I have not learned the skills of shepherding.

.

It was just getting dark when we returned to our place. The Tajik boy Amirdin was skewering mutton skewers under the lamp in front of Satiniti's house. The large pot next to the wooden house was cooking hand meat, which was called hand chop at Satiniti's house.

Rou, Hua Wen and Xiao Sa's mother are washing vegetables.

Amirdin and I shook hands, and I also started to help thread the meat skewers. It is said that the sheep was specially slaughtered by Xiao Sa's father. I knew that slaughtering sheep to entertain guests here is the highest courtesy, and I suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

Yesterday I said I was going to leave today, but ended up relying on another sheep to eat.

"Emildine, didn't you men say you don't do housework? Why are you roasting mutton? Do you rarely eat vegetables?" I asked Amyrdine.

"Brother Li, we don't do housework! We don't wash the clothes at home, we don't bring the bride, and we don't cook. When a man does housework, others will laugh when they see him, and they will say that he has no ability, and they will also laugh at men.

My wife is lazy and doesn’t do housework. However, there is sheep herding and work in the fields. Anyway, men have to be able to do the work that requires the strength of animals. Also, at home, there is slaughtering of sheep and hand-chopping.

We also do rice, barbecue and other meat-related foods, because we like to eat meat! Men don’t do women’s things, but men have to do their own things.” Amirdin said a little, Xiao Sa was beside him.

Please add or translate a little bit.

He continued: "We also eat vegetables, but we eat less. Now we eat more than before. There were not many vegetables before. The main reason is that we don't grow vegetables and don't have money to buy vegetables, so we don't eat them. Now, places that sell vegetables

The more we eat, the more we eat. Other vegetables are not delicious. Tomatoes, spicy peppers, eggplants, cabbage, potatoes, peaches, and yellow radishes are all vegetables we often eat. But the most important thing is:

Naan is enough. You don’t need anything else. You must have flour at home.”

Amirdin is already one of the young people here who can speak Mandarin well. Some young people basically can’t speak a word, so I also like to chat with him. When everyone is busy, Chen Yan is holding on.

Knowing where he got the hot wap, he began to play and sing.

"Lao Li, don't look at this Rewapu. It has several strings, but the bottom one is the main string, which is easier to play than a guitar. Let me play and sing a popular song for you!" Chen Yan, sitting on the side, sang

I said, adjusting my voice.

‘Mom is sitting in front of the door, humming to Flowers and Young People

Although it has been many years, I still remember her with tears

Those dark times, those persistence and panic

In front of the parting door, my mother looked at me and said

Life is not just about the things in front of you, but also poetry and distant fields

...

...

I drifted away alone, and there was a young man under my knees

The boy grows up day by day, and one day he has to leave home

Look at the growth of his back, his persistence and looking back

I know one day, I will smile and say to him

Life is not just about the things in front of you, but also poetry and distant fields

You came to this world with your bare hands and risked everything to find that sea.'

A familiar melody jumped out of the hot tile, and Chen Yan's deep singing voice echoed in the valley. In the valley, a layer of green mist floated in the air, a little light illuminated the wooden house, and the low earth stove was burning brightly.

, the firewood is burning brightly in the barbecue pit.
