As soon as the sky started to lighten, Zhang Fengxia's family began packing their luggage, preparing to move pastures. Unexpectedly, Ayibek had already set off in advance and left a letter, suggesting Zhang Fengxia travel with Sultan's family. After reading the letter, Sultan nodded calmly in agreement, consenting to take them along to the summer pasture, and asked Ba Tai to select a good horse for Li Wenxiu. Soon after, the large group set off grandly.
Along the way, they experienced mud and dense fog, witnessed the vast grassland and the snowline on the Altai Mountains. Whenever they encountered villagers who needed help, Ba Tai would stop without hesitation to lend a hand. The local yurt dwellers would also warmly offer them milk tea, and the entire group was filled with an atmosphere of unity and mutual assistance.
The grassland in early spring was still a bit cold after all, and the wind by the river was even more piercing like a knife. Even though Li Wenxiu was wearing a cotton coat, she still felt the stinging sensation of cold currents brushing against her skin. Ba Tai picked up something from the ground and rubbed it on Li Wenxiu's face. Li Wenxiu felt a warmth, and upon asking, learned it was surprisingly sheep droppings used to treat frostbite.
Those present burst into laughter at the sight. Initially, Tuo Ken still complained that Zhang Fengxia hadn't spoken up for him. Li Wenxiu explained some misunderstandings and unexpectedly learned that he already had someone she liked. In Tuo Ken's description, this gentleman was completely different from Murat. He knew how to cherish and be tolerant of Tuo Ken, allowing Tuo Ken to see the beauty of love.
Grandmother wanted to distribute biscuits to the children, but the biscuit box was snatched directly by Zhang Fengxia, who hugged it nervously in her arms. Everyone set up tents near Fairy Bay for the night. Li Wenxiu accompanied Zhang Fengxia on a stroll around Fairy Bay, listening to the romantic legends of the place. For Zhang Fengxia, Fairy Bay was exceptionally significant, as it was here that she met her husband Li Shan.
Unexpectedly, the next second, the biscuit box accidentally fell into the lake. No matter how Zhang Fengxia chased it, she couldn't catch it. Li Wenxiu asked and learned that the box contained her father's ashes. Facing this accident, Li Wenxiu tried her best to comfort Zhang Fengxia, telling her that the deceased was gone, and five years was enough time for someone to move past the grief. However, Zhang Fengxia's feelings for her husband were deep.
Thinking that she had lost the ashes, she couldn't help but feel regretful and cry. At this moment, several wild wolves with glowing eyes appeared nearby. Li Wenxiu and Zhang Fengxia didn't have time to look closely and quickly scrambled up a tree. Fortunately, Sultan appeared in time, raised his hunting rifle, and shot several wolves. The sound of the gun attracted Ba Tai.
He expressed dissatisfaction with his father hiding the gun, believing that all firearms should be handed over to Ayibek. Zhang Fengxia was extremely grateful for Sultan's life-saving kindness. After returning to the tent, she still felt lingering fear. A group of people lay side by side in the tent. Li Wenxiu and Tuo Ken were talking and laughing heartily, and the atmosphere was warm and pleasant.
The next morning, everyone packed their luggage, performed their prayers, and set off again, heading towards the depths of the desert. Soon, Li Wenxiu met Ba Tai's good brother - the border guard Chao Ge. Although Chao Ge is Mongolian, Mongolian and Kazakh languages have similarities, so Sultan and others had no difficulty communicating with Chao Ge's family. Chao Ge's family warmly hosted them, inviting them into the yurt to taste milk tea and mutton.
After a brief exchange with Chao Ge, Zhang Fengxia guessed that he was exactly the person Tuo Ken was fond of. Indeed, Chao Ge's family actively brought up the children's marriage, hoping Sultan would agree to Tuo Ken remarrying and bringing his two children over. Sultan had a dispute with Chao Ge's family over the custody of the children. Both sides disagreed and could not reach a consensus.
Li Wenxiu couldn't stand listening anymore and interrupted their conversation on the spot. She stated that all traditions and civilizations are slowly explored by humans during world changes, nothing is fixed and unchanging, only adapting to the new era and adjusting one's lifestyle is the correct choice, and clinging to old traditions is very likely to become dross. After her words fell, everyone present fell into silence. Li Wenxiu belatedly realized she had meddled in others' affairs.
Even though Zhang Fengxia quickly apologized, it was of no avail. Sultan decided to lead the group to continue their journey, leaving them to go to the summer pasture on their own. That day, the grandmother, grandchild, and mother, without the help of the large group, were exhausted after only half a day of travel.
Just as Li Wenxiu was forcing herself to set up the tent, she suddenly saw Ba Tai appearing in the distance under the afterglow, riding a fine horse. This scene was like a deity descending from the sky, warm and stunning. In addition, Jambyl also came over with a milk tea pot to visit. They were busy until sunset, and the tent was finally set up. Li Wenxiu personally saw Ba Tai off. The two walked in the dark woods.
Although the bright moon was not visible, the star-filled sky was dazzlingly bright, reveling on the upper half of the world, its brilliance sharply separating from the darkness of the earth. Li Wenxiu quietly tilted her head back to gaze at the starry sky, while Ba Tai looked at her.
Suddenly thinking of something, he reminded her to be wary of the men in the local pastures and not to be too enthusiastic towards them, or she would attract many 'boyfriends'. After saying these words, Ba Tai shyly rode away on his horse. Seeing this, Li Wenxiu smiled.
