summer in timata

The first pot of rice crackers was cooked smoothly, but Mu Zhongxia missed the most critical weather factor.The moment the popcorn machine was turned on, the heat generated collided with the low temperature of tens of degrees below zero... The freshly baked white rice immediately collapsed, and a thin layer of ice formed on the surface. The first pot of white rice ended in failure. .

Mu Zhongxia couldn't laugh or cry, but the children didn't think it was a failure.The children grabbed handfuls of soggy white rice crackers and popped them into their mouths.Mu Zhongxia was thinking about where to find a good place to dance rice flowers, when someone asked, "Master Mu is testing a new magical weapon?"

Mu Zhongxia looked up and saw Grand Duke Aura, two princes and a dozen of Eden's guards.When he came to his senses from Grand Duke Aura's question just now, Mu Zhongxia had a big "囧" on his face.

Without waiting for Mu Zhongxia to explain, the adults at the scene explained one after another, this is a popcorn machine, and it is for making delicious snacks.The popped white rice flower can be made into rice flower candy.After Grand Duke Aura understood it, there was a big "囧" on his face. In order to cover up the embarrassment, Grand Duke Aura immediately said: "The rice cake candy tastes very good, so it was made this way."

At this moment Mushka came over and said, "Pitch a tent, it won't take too much trouble."

After the leader said so, the children immediately looked at Mu Zhongxia eagerly, hoping that he would agree.Although the white rice flower from the first pot is not crispy enough, it smells really good!

Even Amanda looked at Mu Zhongxia with longing in his eyes.Mu Zhongxia couldn't stand his son looking at him like this, so he didn't hesitate and agreed to the leader's suggestion.Mu Zhongxia re-selected the place, so he couldn't keep "boom, boom, boom" in front of the leader Duo's tent.I found an open area behind the tribe, shoveled the thick snow aside, and quickly set up a tent that was built purely for rice popping.A few elderly, middle-aged and elderly men volunteered to follow Mu Zhongxia in how to use the popcorn machine. Master Mu couldn't do it himself again and again.

Grand Duke Aura, who was embarrassing for a while, didn't just leave, but followed the past to join in the fun.After the mechanics and sorcerers who rushed over figured out what was going on, they chose to go back to the studio to continue working in embarrassment. Today is really a joke.

It was a real success when the second pot of rice crackers came out of the oven.The whole tent is filled with the rice aroma of white rice flowers.The children who had been waiting for a long time rushed over and ate rice crackers from the animal skin bag.Mu Zhongxia also grabbed a handful, and the more he chewed, the more delicious it became.Yu Xi is in the middle.

When Grand Duke Aura, Prince Keder and Prince Sulai saw Mu Zhongxia's childish side, they didn't know what they were thinking, and they also grabbed a handful of rice crackers to taste.The three of them left after not staying for too long. After they left, the people in the tent actually felt a lot more at ease.

In the third pot, Mu Zhongxia was replaced, and he was the guide.Someone entered the tent, it was Taila Bu, holding a roupe jar, which obviously contained white rice.As soon as Tai Labu came in, he said: "I just went back, and Taqilan urged me to come here."

"Atan."

Amunda handed over the animal skin bag in his arms, Tai Rabu looked at it, and stretched out his hand to grab it.After eating, say: "It tastes good." It can be used as a snack.

Mu Zhongxia: "When there is more sugar in our tribe, we can make a lot of rice cracker candy." Unfortunately, there is no corn, no sesame, and no peanuts!

Mu Zhongxia played with the children for a long time, and at noon, he took Amanda Suitara to his and Taqilan's tent.Hesolen had just finished breastfeeding and was interacting with his mother in Taqilan's arms.Seeing Mu Zhongxia and Amonda, Taqilan immediately greeted them, and asked Tai Labu to call Yehe back.Jeho is with her little sister.Tai Labu put away the white rice flowers brought back first, and then went out to find her daughter.

Mu Zhongxia took off his coat and sat down. Ta Qilan said jokingly, "You were bang bang bang outside today, which scared the people of Eden to think that you made some new magic weapon."

Mu Zhongxia laughed: "To be honest, when Grand Duke Aura asked that question, I didn't realize it for a long time. If this is a new weapon, it can't be tested outside the leader's tent, and there are so many children present."

Ta Qilan laughed along with Mu Zhongxia, it can only be said that the people of Eden were a little startled.

When Tai Labu was going to dance rice crackers, Ta Qilan told him to invite Mu Zhongxia and Amunda over for dinner.The two of them didn't talk about work when they met. It's rare for both of them to have free time, especially Mu Zhongxia.Talking about work all the time in front of the kids is also boring.If he and Taqilan have anything to do, just talk on the walkie-talkie.

At lunch, Tai Labu, Ta Qilan and Mu Zhongxia fought together, and the two children Yehe and Amonda played together, having a good time.Ta Qilan officially took Yehe back after her confinement.Yehe doesn't often need to live with Mama or Yimo (Gu'an) now.Yehe is very well-behaved, and looks more like Nijanduo, so Taqilan really couldn't love Yehe much at first.But Yehe is so cute and sensible that it makes people feel distressed, and because of his father's absence from time to time, Nijiang's indifference to her when he was there, and the influence of the atmosphere at home, Yehe is timid and cowardly.After Taqilan took Yehe to most of Venice, Yehe was by her side during that time, and Taqilan gradually fell in love with Yehe.Now that Taqilan has her own child, she is more willing to treat Yehe as her own daughter. The most important thing is that Yehe has no feelings for her real biological mother, Nijiang.To Yehe, his birth mother, Nijiang, was just a vague shadow.

Ta Qilan is arrogant, straightforward and straightforward, Yehe has been by her side for a long time, and her timidity has gradually disappeared.Now that Yehe has grown up, it is not an exaggeration to say that she is the number one little beauty of the leader tribe.Ta Qilan is also a beautiful and indescribable woman. She likes to have such a beautiful daughter beside her, even if it is not her own.

Holding Amonda's hand and walking towards the tent, Mu Zhongxia was filled with emotion.Thinking of the hostility and disgust the other party had towards him when they met Ta Qilan for the first time, and then thinking of Ta Qilan's attitude as a little woman when she faced Tai Labu at the meal just now, and facing Yehe's loving mother tenderly, Mu Zhongxia held Amanda's hand couldn't help but tighten.Taqilan no longer saw the domineering and sharpness of the past, and Yehe's face no longer had the cowardice and pitifulness of the past.Mu Zhongxia lowered his eyes and glanced at Amonda beside him... I still remember how silent this child was when he first came to Ahan, without the joy and innocence that a child should have.His silence is the precocity that was forced to grow up quickly, and the premature independence that was never loved by his mother.

"Amonda, before your father and brother come back, I want to go to the front again. Can you go with Father Mu? Let's accompany your father and brother to the foot of Snow God Mountain to pay homage to Mother."

Amunda stopped and looked up at Father Mu.

Mu Zhongxia said: "We are a family, let's go together."

Amunda pursed her mouth under the scarf and nodded vigorously.

The popcorn machine was supposed to be a relaxation, and it was considered a rest for a while before, so Mu Zhongxia adjusted his schedule and started to get busy again.But compared to before, he didn't let work take up all his spare time.

As time passed day by day, as more and more wounded and supplies were brought back, it also indicated that this snow season expedition was coming to an end.

Mu Zhongxia had already greeted Tai Labu in advance, and when Tethyr and the others were coming back, they told him that he and Amunda were going to the front line, and then went directly to Xueshen Mountain with Tethyr and Abiwo.Chief Mushka has not sent a letter to the front about Baire's death.However, the news from the front line has been passed back to the leader tribe.

When the news from the front line came back again, Tai Labu went to meet Mu Zhongxia in person and told him that it was time for the front line army to come back.Mu Zhongxia immediately went to find Mushka.Ahan at this time is colder than when Mu Zhongxia went to the front line before.But facing Mu Zhongxia's insistence, Mushka couldn't stop him.Of the entire tribe, only Tethyr could stop him.

Mushka asked Tai Rabu to arrange a carriage and escort escorts, and the next day, he escorted Mu Zhongxia and Amonda to the front line.When Tong Xu, Wu Hagen and Mu Xi learned that the teacher (brother) was going to the front line, their first reaction was to follow.After Mu Zhongxia told them the reason why he was going, the three of them stopped asking.

On the frontline battlefield, the number of herds of wild beasts coming out of the stormy plain was decreasing, and there were no wild elephants in the previous two beast hordes, which indicated that this battle was coming to an end.At the end, the Eagle Guards no longer entered the frontline battlefield, but all stayed in the rear base camp for repairs.On the frontline battlefield, only the warriors who lead the tribe and the warriors who are left and right of the elephant king's territory are the main force.The troll elephants of the tribe also retreated from the front line to heal and rest.

Every time the snow season goes out, the warriors of the Eagle Guard are the main force. Their physical and mental pressure is a hundred times higher than that of ordinary fighters, and they face a hundred times more dangers.The battle was coming to an end, and Tethyr, the Eagle King, was only needed to supervise the battle on the front line. Ordinary soldiers retreated to the second line, and young soldiers entered the front line instead. This was their best time to practice.

Riding on a war horse, holding his spell spear in his right hand, next to the horse is an armored Muzai, Tethyr's eagle-like sharp eyes watching the melee ahead.Adult fighters protect the young fighters who are fighting. They need to go through bloody experience, but they cannot be allowed to fall at this time.

This battle was over in just a few hours, after all, the number of desolate beasts could only be regarded as the number of small beast hordes.Even if the main force is only the young warriors of the Zhailamu tribe, they are fully capable of stopping it.The horn sounded to clear the battlefield, Tethel rode his horse, and led Mu Zai away first.

Back at the frontline camp, Tethyr went straight back to the tent.Abiwo did not retreat to the rear base camp with the warriors of the Eagle Guard.At this time, he must follow Father.Upon his return, Tethyr received warming broth from his son.After sitting down, Tethyr asked while drinking soup: "Have you tidied up the booty that Father Mu packed up?"

Abiwo: "It's all sorted out and marked."

Tethyr nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

"Tethyr."

Tulasen's voice came from outside the tent. Tulasen was a warrior of the Eagle Guard. Although he was not an Eagle Marquis, he and Hanbana were somewhat like Tethyr's personal assistant.Many things Tethyr did in the Horde and the Eagle Guard were helped by Tulasen and Hambana.

When Tu Lasen came in, Abiwo immediately scooped him a bowl of hot broth.With the cold outdoors on his body, Tu Lasen took a sip of the broth, breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Amuyin Langshou sent someone to deliver the letter, and he took Mrs. He time back to the territory directly. When the warm season comes, he will send her back to lead the tribe."

Tethyr gave a faint "hmm".

Turasen sat down and asked, "When will we return to the tribe?"

Tethyr: "There are not many wild beasts this time, so we can get ready."

Turasen was very happy to hear that, and finally he could go back.

After drinking the broth, Turassen didn't stay any longer, and left in a hurry, preparing to go back.All the things that need to be packed and loaded must be put away, and the tents will not be collected until the day they leave. Anyway, there are still many things to do.Every snow season is the period when the sons of Di Mata fight wild beasts, and it is also the harvest season for the people of Di Mata.7% of the large amount of fur, animal bones, bare stone, and animal oil that Ahan produces every year comes from the battle against wild animals in the snow season.Despite the fact that Mu Zhongxia has built so many factories, the bulk of the Zhailamu tribe's annual income comes from the wild animals harvested during the snow season.

Tethyr didn't need to clean it up by himself. With Abiwo, the private property that the father and son could take back could be handed over to Abiwo to deal with, and Tethyr was happy to relax.People in the Zhailamu tribe used to be illiterate and illiterate. They could count but not know how to write, and even when they wrote, their writing was not standardized.It's different now.The total number of harvests sent back to the tribe each time, and what they are can be clearly remembered.In this way, it is clear how Mushka will be distributed, how much will be reserved for the tribal public property, and how much will be distributed to the tribe.

After slaughtering a small wave of wild beasts that came to invade again, the frontline camp was almost ready to be tidied up, and the army was about to leave camp and return to the tribe.Turasen and Hambana sent the list and quantity of all the materials brought back by the army back to the tribe.Tethyr opened the ledger and checked it in detail.Everything recorded in the ledger is handed over to the leader, and the private property left by them is not recorded in the book.The warriors of the Eagle Guard are all eligible to leave their own private property, and the amount of private property is determined by Tethyr, the Eagle King.The private property of ordinary soldiers will be distributed by the leader after returning.But small things like animal teeth are ignored.If anyone wants a good animal skin, he can report it in advance, as long as he has meritorious service in this battle, he can share it.

It was very quiet inside the tent, but it was a bit noisy outside. After all, we had to go back.Suddenly, Tethel's hand holding the ledger stopped, and he raised his head abruptly.But Muzai, who was lying beside him, jumped up and rushed out of the tent, followed by Moxi.With a thought in his heart, Tethyr left the account book and got up and strode out. Abiwo, Tulasen, and Hambana also hurriedly followed.Tulasen and Hanbana just thought something happened, but Abiwo looked surprised and had some kind of guess in his heart.

As soon as he got out of the tent, Abiwo heard Muzai and Moxi's cheerful calls.The next moment, a big smile appeared on Abiwo's face. Not far ahead, Mu's father was holding Amunda and was being "hugged" by Muzai and Moxi excitedly.Tessel stepped forward quickly, pushed Muzai and Moxi away, and hugged Mu Zhongxia.

"How did you come?"

Mu Zhongxia hugged Tethel with both hands: "I miss you."
