The woman who Yuko reincarnated in this era, her name was Hatun, and she was a poor foreign girl from Western Xia.

In the winter, the biting cold wind blew on Hatun's thin body, making Hatun shiver, but he didn't dare to stop in his hand. Hatun lost his mother when he was a child, and after his father married his stepmother, he died within a few years. She is the daughter of a wealthy man in Western Xia, from a young lady who calls Bainuo to a slave-like hard-working girl.

Hartun's hands were already red from the water, but she didn't care about the cracks on her hands, she didn't care about the cold water, and scrubbed the clothes in the basin vigorously. Before dark, if she couldn't finish these clothes, her stepmother didn't know how she would beat and scold her. Stepmother Ye Yu was holding a cat in her arms, lazily leaning on the quilt, she squinted, looked out through the gap in the window, looked at the ten-year-old Harun in the yard, she thought in her heart, how to get rid of this unsightly girl.

Her husband died, and the Wanguan family property belonged to Ye Yu alone, only the daughter left by her husband was a bane, and when she grew up in the future, I am afraid that she will come to divide the family property. Hatun's father was a merchant during his lifetime, because it was located on the border between Western Xia and Mongolia, adjacent to the Silk Road, relying on convenient transportation, bringing some jewelry, fur, swords, etc., to the Central Plains in exchange for the four treasures of silk and porcelain scholars, and then sold to Persia and Nepal at a high price.

Unexpectedly, his wife died early, and in order to take care of his young daughter, he continued to marry Ye Yu as his wife. This Ye Yu is also a woman of everyone in Xixia City, with a dignified appearance, a good housekeeper, and thoughtful care of Hatun's food and clothing, which is reassuring.

But after her husband's death, Ye Yu's heart changed, Ye Yu had never given birth, in the mood for love, she naturally refused to be widowed, and if she wanted to marry again, she was reluctant to have a family property, and she had this little daughter as the heir at home, so it was naturally inconvenient for Ye Yu to remarry with her family property.

So ten-year-old Hartun became a thorn in her stepmother's eyes, and since then sweeping the floor and serving tea, and even washing clothes in the yard in winter have become her job. Although Hartun didn't understand why her stepmother treated her so differently, she also knew that no matter what, she couldn't make her stepmother angry.

Ye Yu took the hot tea handed by the maidservant, blew it gently, and asked, "Is the housekeeper back?"

The maidservant Xiaorong said, "I haven't come back yet." ”

As he was talking, the door rang, the warm curtain was lifted, and the housekeeper Wunan came in. Wu Nan patted his body and said, "It's snowing outside." ”

Ye Yu looked out the window, and sure enough, snowflakes were falling from the sky, and Ye Yu said to Xiao Rong, "You go down first." ”

Xiao Rong replied, "Yes." Then he said timidly, "Can Miss go to dinner?"

Ye Yu glanced at her: "You are thinking about her, tell her to go." ”

Waiting for Xiao Rong to go out, Ye Yu asked Wu Nan: "How is the rent collection going?"

Wunan smiled flatteringly: "I've done it, please rest assured." ”

Ye Yu threw a meaningful look over, stretched out a finger, and gently swiped it across Wu Nan's face. Wu Nan's face was itchy, and he took the opportunity to bite the finger, and there was a slight laugh in the room.

Xiao Rong walked quickly to Hatun's side, pulled her up, and said distressedly: "Miss, don't wash it, your hands are frozen, let's go eat." ”

Hartun said carefully: "But I haven't finished washing yet, my mother will be angry." ”

Xiao Rong said, "I'll help you wash." ”

Xiao Rong squatted down and washed up with Harun. The cold and biting water stabbed Xiao Rong's hand like a knife, and she couldn't imagine how the young lady endured it. Xiaorong's tears flowed, and Harun comforted her: "It doesn't matter, don't cry." ”

Xiao Rong looked around, there was no one around, and whispered: "Miss, find a way to call your uncle to pick you up and leave here, otherwise sooner or later you will be tortured to death by Madame." ”

"But my uncle's house is far from here, so how can he know that I am suffering here?"

Hatun's mother is Mongolian, his father went to Mongolia to buy sheepskins, somehow, and his mother fell in love at first sight, he asked her family to marry, and his grandmother saw that Hatun's father was a foreigner, and he refused to agree to die, and with the help of his uncle, the two secretly eloped back to the Western Xia Kingdom.

I planned to wait until my mother was discouraged and then go back to see her, but for so many years, Hatun's mother married away from home, and the road was far away, until she died, and she never returned to her hometown, and Hatun never saw her grandmother's family.

Xiao Rong said: "You can only carry a letter when a business guest passes by, but what year and month will it be? By the time he comes to pick you up, I am afraid you will have been tortured to death." ”

Hartun thought for a moment and fell silent. Xiao Rong helped her wash her clothes and took her to the kitchen to eat, and when Uncle Mai saw Harun coming in, he quickly brought out the hot meal from the pot and said, "The one left for you is still hot, Miss eat quickly, are you hungry?"

Hartun said gratefully, "Thank you, uncle." ”

Uncle Mai said: "Don't say that, you are a young lady, I am a servant, and it is my duty to wait for young lady." ”

Uncle Mai looked at the young lady sadly, a little bit of the master's flesh and blood fell into the hands of the stepmother, and he suffered like this every day, and the master learned in heaven, I don't know how to be sad? It's just that as a slave, I can't do anything for the young lady, I can only secretly leave some delicious things for the young lady.

Hartun and Maizu went to graze together, and in the winter as long as there was sunshine, they had to drive the sheep to graze, because the hillsides were full of hay, which was enough for the sheep to eat. Maizu is the son of Uncle Mai, six years older than Hatun, he is a strong Dangxiang boy, thick arms, bronzed skin, fully inherited the fierce temperament of his ancestors. Maizu has always been the protector of Hatun, and only with Maizu can Hatun feel safe and happy.

"Brother Maizu. Hartun said, "I heard you're going to join the army, right?"

"Yes," said Maizu, "the Mongols often sent troops to bully us, and the king demanded that all men over the age of sixteen enlist in the army to defend their homeland. ”

Hatun looked very sad, and his little face was full of helplessness: "But who will accompany me to graze in the future?"

Maizu was silent for a while and said, "My father will take care of you, and I will also come to see you." ”

Hartun said, "Can you take me there?"

Maizu smiled: "Stupid, how can a little girl fight?"

"Why can't we, didn't we once have a queen mother who personally went into battle to fight the Song people?" Hatun said.

Maizu said: "You know a lot, I don't know, I only know that you can't go, your mother is a Mongolian, you are also half a Mongolian, how can you fight with Mongolia?"

Hatun said: "Why did the Mongols bully our Western Xia Kingdom?"

Maizu said: "Because the Mongols are strong, they will bully us. ”

At that time, the Mongol army frequently fought against the Jin State, and the Mongol Great Khan was worried that the neighboring Western Xia would take the opportunity to attack the Mongols, so he had several expeditions against the Western Xia in order to have no worries. The strength of the Western Xia state was weak, and it was difficult to resist the powerful Mongol army, so it had to sue for peace several times, agreeing to be a vassal state, and paying tribute to Mongolia every year, so as to obtain temporary peace. However, the king of Western Xia always sharpened his sword and was always vigilant against the Mongol invasion, ready to counterattack the Mongols at any time.

Hatun said, "Then will you fight my uncle and them in the future?"

Maizu said: "As long as I know that he is your uncle, I will not beat him, okay?"

Maizu looked at Hatun lovingly: "If I become a big official in the future, I will take you away and don't let your stepmother bully you again, okay?" Hatun nodded.

In the endless prairie, there was a terrible howl, and Maizu immediately became vigilant. The voice grew from far to near, getting closer and closer, and Maizu said in alarm, "It's wolves, and the sound of horses' hooves." ”

Hatun grabbed Maizu in horror and asked, "Wolves?"

Maizu looked around, a wasteland, no longer obscured, and besides, the wolf's sense of smell was extremely sensitive, and it was impossible to hide. Maizu pulled up Hatun: "Run!"

The two ran desperately, and Hartun looked back at the sheep as he ran: "What about those sheep? ”

Maizu said: "I can't take care of it. Escape matters. ”

How can the young steps keep up with the wheat feet? The wheat feet picked up the hatun on his back and continued to run. Suddenly seeing a few trees, Maizu was overjoyed, and immediately climbed up with Hatun on his back, Hatun cared about the sheep, and found that the sheep gathered and hid in a concave slope, and there would be no danger for the time being, so he relaxed a little.

Hatun looked into the distance and saw several horses galloping towards him, and the men on the horses waved their whips vigorously to urge the horses. Behind him were hundreds of wolves, rushing and chasing. Soon the swift wolves had surrounded them, and the hungry wolves howled, baring their white teeth and looking at the prey that was about to reach their mouths. The horses on which the men were riding were already trembling and wailing in despair, and the men on the horses drew their broadswords one after another, and without fear, brandished them and rushed towards the wolves.

As soon as the wolves swarmed up, they immediately tore up, and the horses fell to the ground one after another, and they were immediately torn apart by dozens of wolves. The men looked at the wolves in horror and despaired, and in an instant, they saw that they were already the meat of the wolf's mouth, and the situation was very critical.

Hatun thought for a moment and said, "Maizu, go down quickly and save those people." ”

Maizu said, "How can I save it?

Hatun no longer hesitated, and immediately climbed down the tree, and Maizu cried out in horror, "Are you crazy? ”

Hatun ignored the wheat feet and ran quickly towards the flock. There was only one way, and that was to abandon the sheep in order to save the lives of those people, although Hatun was very reluctant to give up those sheep. Hatun whistled, and the sheep heard Hatun's call and immediately responded. Hatun drove the sheep to the wolves, and although the wolves were terrible, Hatun forgot to be afraid.

The sheep gradually and reluctantly approached the wolves, and the wolves spotted the sheep. In the eyes of the wolves, the fat sheep must have tasted much better than the humans, so the wolves left the dying man who was wielding a large knife and pounced on the defenseless sheep. The man who fell to the ground immediately had time to breathe and fled as quickly as possible.

One of them passed by Hatun's side, turned around, picked up Hatun, and ran into the distance. Hatun looked at the miserable situation of those sheep in the wolf's mouth, and suddenly shed tears, and those people ran far away with Hatun in one breath, ran to a safe place, and then stopped.

The man holding Hatun put her down, it was a stout man, a little embarrassed, but he couldn't hide his resolute eyes. The man asked, "Little girl, what is your name?"

Hatun said timidly: "My name is Hatun." ”

The man said, "Harton, why did you drive the sheep to save us?

"I'm afraid," said Hartun, "but I don't want to see you eaten by wolves." ”

The man looked at Hatun fixedly, took out a gold ingot from his bosom, and handed it to her: "Take this and pay for your sheep, otherwise your master will blame you if he knows it." ”

Hartun looked at the gold ingot, but did not take it: "I don't want it." ”

When the man saw that Hatun insisted on not wanting it, he put the gold ingot in Hatun's hand, and took a red rope from his neck, to which a small bronze medal was tied, and hung it around Hatun's neck, and said, "You are my Temujin's savior." ”

It turned out that this person was Temujin, who was incarnated by Qin Shi Huang in this life, and Hatun was the woman reincarnated by Yuko in this life, but she was only ten years old, so Temujin couldn't recognize her as the woman reincarnated by Yuko.
