Text 438 Hut by the lake (500 votes plus updates)

    Although the weather in early May was very bright, the lakes from the snow-melt mountains were still icy cold. After a while, the men¡¯s skin was very steamed. The steamed crayfish was generally red from the cold, and the mouse head tattoo on the back also followed.  It became more colorful, winking with the movements of the muscles, which is very scary.

    The night gradually fell on the land. The man put on a camouflage uniform that was also washed a little bit faded, but he no longer wore marine boots on his feet. He pulled a pair of furry cotton slippers with ears, and squatted by the water.  A few more clothes were washed on the slate.

    It was not until I heard the sound of horseshoes in the distance again that I returned to the hut, opened the wooden table top, and revealed a gasoline barrel lying horizontally underneath, threw some firewood into the opening, found a bottle filled with dark yellow liquid, and squeezed it out.  A little liquid was poured on the firewood, and a blazing flame was lit with a bang.

    "Afanti, quickly bring the wine, I haven't had it for a month!" With the sound of horse hooves, Crimea reappeared, lifted a white ball from the horse's back and threw it at the man's feet.  I found a bench made of logs and sat opposite the gasoline barrel.

    "I can only drink one bottle today, there is not much in stock, so keep it flowing!" The man called Avanti picked up a brown bottle from his feet and handed it over. There are three big gilded characters on the bottle, Yilite!

    "This kind of taste is not goodthe one in the green glass bottle is goodgudongha" Kerimu looked at the bottle and shook his head, dissatisfied, but he quickly opened the cork and pointed at the bottle.  He took a big gulp from the mouth of the bottle, and then let out a deep breath into the night sky. It didn't look bad at all.

    "This is salt and cumin. There are not many chili peppers. I ground them into powder, half for each person." Avanti picked up two canvas bags from the ground and handed them over, which were not light.

    "Well, don't go to the city, there are too many monsters, it's very dangerous!" Kerim took the bag and put it aside, lowered his head and opened the package he brought. It should not be called a package, it should be called a sheepskin, the sheepskin that was just peeled off,  There is a lot of mutton in it, and it is still steaming.

    "I go to the city as easily as you go to the mountains. Did you bring any good things back this time?" Avanti took off a thick steel wire net from the side of the iron drum and put it on the gap in the oil drum.  Then put the mutton one by one, let the charcoal fire below it burn evenly, and the smell of meat will immediately waft in the air.

    "When I came back, I ran into a beekeeping car. The three of us turned into monsters. The bees are still there. I took four boxes. Will you keep them?" Kerim took another sip of wine, and couldn't wait for the lamb to roast.  When it was cooked, he took out a knife, cut the bloody meat into small strips, and stuffed it into his mouth.

    "Know how bring it here, I can learn it, and wait to eat honey barbecue next year!" Afanti rubbed his chin and thought about it. It is true that he has never raised it before, but he can't say he can't, and it's not a high-tech thing.  If you can't raise it well, you can't raise it badly.  There are wildflowers here from May to September, enough for a few boxes of bees.

    "Well, a pony was killed by wild beasts in winter, and I made horse intestines, I'll get it!" When talking about honey barbecue, Kerim seemed to remember something, got up on the horse and left, carrying several knots in a short time  The black sausage came running back.

    "Meet a pack of wolves!" Afanti cut open the horse intestines with a knife and put them on the grill.

    "With your spear, the wolves are not afraid. It ran away and got stuck in the snow pit. It may be a snow leopard or a wolf. No matter, two more mares are about to foal, no more  I can¡¯t keep it.¡± Kerim shook his head, focusing on the wine bottle.  The first batch of meat has just been roasted, and half a bottle of wine has already been eaten.

    "Haven't met any of your people this year? Why don't you just find a Han daughter-in-law, you can't do it alone." Avanti stopped the barbecue, put a strip of grilled meat into his mouth with a knife,  Asked about Crimean's personal life.

    "Except for the daughters of the Kazakh shepherds, others can't stand our life, it's hard to handle Why don't you find a wife, Han people are easy to find!"

    Kerim's face flushed red by the alcohol finally showed worry, and he was still alone for ten years. Although he didn't have to worry about food and drink, sometimes, as Avanti said, living alone made the already difficult life difficult.  The nomadic life has become even more difficult.

    "I'm an eagle in the sky. If I carry too many things on my back, I won't be able to fly, and I will die" Avanti didn't seem to be worried about this problem at all, and was quite happy.

    "The eagle catches rabbits, foxes, and goats. You always kill people, and you will die!" Kerim seemed to know what Avanti often did, and kindly persuaded him.

    "I killed hungry wolves. If they don't die, more people will die. You only know how to herd sheep and raise horses, but you don't understand these things. Come, let me see if your skills have improved. If you win, you can drink another bottle  liquor!"

    Avanti didn't really want to discuss this issue, so she got up and moved her arms and legs, and expressed her helplessness to Crimea.A challenge that is rejected but has no hope of winning.

    This sturdy shepherd man is full of strength, but he is the one who falls every time.  This actually aroused the wildness hidden in his heart, he stripped off his leather jacket, naked his upper body, and rushed towards the figure who didn't look very strong, but had evil power all over his body.

    In less than ten minutes, the strength accumulated in Kerim's body was tossed away by various hooks, pins, locks, and buckles. Apart from blushing and panting, he was staring and angry.

    "Half a bottle, you lose, you can only drink half a bottle, and drink the rest tomorrow. I will go fishing tomorrow, and I will treat you to sashimi." Avanti was scratched by grass leaves on her new clothes.  It was green, as if there was nothing wrong, went into the room and brought out a bottle of wine.

    "You don't like that black horse? I saw the horse's shoe, but I haven't ridden it much." With the wine, the anger of being humiliated just now disappeared, and he took a big gulp, pointing to the horse pen behind the house  .

    "People outside want to snatch it when they see it. By the way, lend me two horses to pull the cart, kill two more sheep, and the rest of the horse meat and intestines. I will take it to the Yining base to sell."  Afanti shook his head helplessly, who could ride a bicycle if he could ride a horse?

    "There are a lot of people there, and there are a lot of wolves, are you alone?" Kerim finally moved his attention away from the wine bottle, and stared at Avanti with unbelievable eyes, trying to distinguish the truth of this sentence  .  If he could go to the base to sell meat casually, he wouldn't have to kill so many sheep and horses that couldn't survive the winter for nothing every year.

    "I'm an eagle in the sky There are a lot of people over there. By the way, see if there are any Kirgiz or Kazakh women. I will give you another wife. Do you like a round face or a long face?" Avanti didn't care  After bragging, he made a proposal that Kerim could not refuse.

    "You need to be strong, be able to bear children, be able to ride horses and herd sheep, be able to cook and sew skinsit's better to be able to keep bees" Sure enough, Kerim no longer objected, thought about it very seriously, and put forward his criteria for choosing a mate.

    "You might as well marry me, I can do everything except not having children! Come early tomorrow and help me tidy up the boat." It was late at night, the wind was cold, and the charcoal fire was about to go out.  Afanti was full, and decided not to quarrel with this muddle-headed man, he couldn't say anything new, so he should go to bed early.

    There is a lot of work tomorrow, so I have to check the heating pipes in the house, the solar panels on the roof, the wind turbines behind, and the battery pack for backup power while I don¡¯t have to go outside for a few days.  By the way, plant the vegetable seeds into the seedling box, and you can almost plant the seeds when you come back from Yining.

    Different from ordinary rooms, the inside of Avanti's hut has the same shape as the outside, which is round.  It's not made of wood either. The main structure is made of metal and a small amount of plastic. At first glance, it's not handmade, but more like an old world industrial product.

    "Pa-ta" With a crisp sound, Avanti walked through the room he just entered into another room, turned on the power switch, and suddenly, the light illuminated the room.

    Simmons bed, bedside table, wardrobe, two weird-looking single sofas, and small round windows on the walls on both sides that are sealed with wooden boards one after another!

    This is the cabin of an airplane!  You don't need to have too much common sense in life, as long as you have been on a plane, you can tell it right away.  This is not a herdsman's yurt at all, nor is it a hunting cabin, but a standard industrial product, an airplane, or an airliner.

    In fact, when you first entered the door, if you didn't go right and opened the small door on the left, the answer would be more certain.  There is the cockpit of the plane, but it is a bit miserable now, most of the glass is broken, and it is sealed with wooden boards and blankets.
