"Xin'er."

Ayi'er called softly to Xin'er, who was about to walk in front of her.

"Auntie, my brother taught Xin'er a new tune, do you want to listen to it?"

Xin'er happily ran towards Ayi'er, singing the Chu song taught by Xiao Jin as she ran.

"Jiangnan can pick lotus,

LOTUS HE Tiantian,

Fish play among lotus leaves.

Fish play lotus leaf east,

Fish play lotus leaf west,

Yuxi lotus leaf south,

Fish play lotus leaves in the north. ”

As Xin'er sang a euphemistic song to Ayi'er, Xiao Jinxing nodded slightly to Ayi'er and then walked into the yurt.

"I just saw your carriage, I hurried back, I didn't expect you to come so quickly, I thought you would come almost at sunset." Xiao Jinxing sat down as he spoke.

"Brother Jinxing, after you left, the patriarch informed us, saying that the leader of the tribe will be elected in five days, so time is pressing, and my brothers and I want to help you move back into the tribe as soon as possible.

After all, there are a lot of people staring at Xin'er. ”

Zhezhe lowered his voice and said, as if he was afraid that Xin'er outside the yurt would hear it.

It's just that Xin'er is only singing outside, and she doesn't have the slightest intention of hearing them talk.

A young man smiled at Zhezhe and said, "Brother Zhezhe is too worried, Xin'er is only four years old, what does she know, is she so careful?" ”

Who knew that Zhezhe immediately glared at him and said sharply:

"You know what?

Xin'er must never let Xin'er know about this, and no one is allowed to talk about it after returning to the tribe.

Do you know that if it weren't for the Jinxing brothers four years ago, I'm afraid that our Yu clan would have been abandoned by the Immortal Heaven a long time ago.

Do you know what the consequences of failing to protect the saint are?

At that time, I am afraid that it will not only be our tribe, but the entire Yu clan, you know? ”

With Zhezhe's rather severe reprimand, the young man blushed and lowered his head, saying no more.

Xiao Jinxing looked at Zhezhe and patted him lightly on the shoulder, because Xiao Jinxing could see that Zhezhe was a little too nervous.

Zhezhe turned his head, looked at Xiao Jinxing, and immediately understood his intentions, so he grinned and nodded to him, and then asked with a smile:

"Brother Jinxing, we'll get up and set off in a moment, but is Xin'er willing to leave those friends of hers?"

Hearing this, Xiao Jinxing also smiled at Zhezhe and said, "We did underestimate Xin'er, and after she knew that we were going to leave here, she told her friends to stay away from humans and be careful to save her life.

And the horses and sheep went to the northern side of the forest when she had finished speaking. ”

Xiao Jinxing smiled and nodded to the stunned crowd.

Only then did Zhezhe react, touched his head and said:

"Xin'er is a saint, she should have such ability, it's true that we are too worried, but Xin'er seems to be more powerful than all the saints in the legend.

I've heard the elders say that in the past, saints could only understand the meaning of animals and drive animals, but it was unheard of for someone like Xin'er to communicate with animals. ”

"That's why she will be targeted by the surrounding tribes, and chase you to Xijing."

Xiao Jinxing didn't seem to care about the surprise of Zhezhe and the others, and said slowly.

"Brother Jinxing is indeed smart, originally there was a saint in the tribe, it should be the most secret thing in this tribe, until the sacrifice to the worm will not make this matter public, and send the saint to Dragon City.

But Xin'er is different

When her mother gave birth to her, all the animals within a radius of tens of miles came to see her, and the birds put their softest feathers on her body, and the little beasts brought in a lot of rare fruits.

The most peculiar thing is that some wolves and birds of prey surrounded her for several days before leaving.

So we couldn't hide it if we wanted to, and that's why it was coveted and attacked by other tribes.

After all, the tribe that was able to sacrifice the Holy Maiden would receive ten years of food and supplies from Dragon City, and many people would survive because of it. ”

Speaking of this, Zhezhe's eyes seemed to be a little reluctant. Xiao Jinxing understood that this was Zhezhe's regret for Xin'er's fate, because in the tribe, in addition to Ayier and himself, Zhezhe loved Xin'er the most.

When he drowned, Zhezhe, who had led away the enemy and returned from injury, jumped into the water to save himself.

It was also he who brought himself into the vast grassland after being in a coma for more than ten days.

"Ayi'er has told me these things, Xin'er is still young, and it is still very early for that thing to come, so I also agree with the decision not to tell Xin'er about this matter first.

Because there are some things we can work on. ”

Xiao Jin picked up a wooden stick and said calmly while extinguishing the fire surrounded by everyone.

Everyone nodded after hearing Xiao Jin's words, and except for Zhezhe, the rest of the people got up after eating and went out of the yurt to carry things.

After everyone left, Zhezhe frowned and asked, "Brother Jinxing, you Southern Barbarians are all talking around the bush.

But I heard the meaning of the words that they didn't hear.

What do you mean by hard work? ”

Xiao Jinxing turned his head to look at Zhezhe, as if he didn't care about the caution in Zhezhe's words, and said slowly:

"You call yourself Xia, and the people in the pass are barbarians, but the people in our gates call you barbarians and themselves are Xia, do you know why?

One thing that is well known to women and children in our Qin State is that Yao Jun led the people to drive away your Rong and Di tribes.

As everyone knows, before this, we were ruled by you, and the world in the pass was also occupied by your eight barbarian tribes.

We were as afraid of you as you are today of the Wrigglings.

After a hundred years of fear, Yao Jun led those who wanted to change the status quo to fight back, and after ten years of struggle and millions of lives, this is where we have today.

Therefore, your beloved Xin'er does not have to be a saint, nor does she have to sacrifice to those cruel wriggles.

However, it's up to you to pay some price.

As for me, I'm a damn person, so I've already made up my mind to change all of this, at least I'm going to work hard for Xin'er, because I love Xin'er no less than you.

I know that this is a taboo for you, so I will never talk about it again after today. ”

After saying this, the fire in front of the two of them was finally extinguished.

Xiao Jinxing gently rolled the smoking end of the wooden stick in the ashes a few times, then threw away the wooden stick, got up and patted the dust on his body, smiled at Zhezhe who was in a daze, and turned around and left the yurt.

Although Zhezhe's tribe only has a few hundred people, they are the most core of the Yu tribe.

Everyone in this tribe has the golden blood of the ancestors of the Yu clan flowing through them.

Therefore, hundreds of Youyu tribes will always respect Zhezhe's tribe, there is a patriarch of the Yu clan here, and there is a witch of the Yu clan.

This is the place where the leaders of all the tribes of the Yu clan are selected before each expedition.

Despite this, the Rongdi tribes fought each other

The constant struggle for survival still prevented the tribe from growing as strong as the families in Kannai.

Because in each generation, a large number of people die in war or because of disease, and those who remain can only survive and continue to multiply.

As the Golden Family, the responsibility and mission of the tribe will always be the greatest and the most numerous.

According to the usual practice, next year will be the time for the clansmen to go to the Kannai. Therefore, this year, each tribe must select the most brave warriors and lead the men in the tribe to assemble in Dragon City.

There, again, these warriors will compete with each other to determine the winner. The victor will succeed the dead Shan Yu and lead thousands of troops to capture Xiao Pass.

When Xiao Jinxing took Ayi'er, Zhezhe and others to walk all night, the next day at dawn, everyone finally arrived at the place where the tribe was.

This is still a huge grassland, although it is not connected to the grassland where Xiao Jinxing has lived for four years, and there are still several lofty mountains and mountains during this period, but the intimacy has not diminished in the slightest.

This grassland also has endless green grass, dotted dams, and flocks of sheep grazing with their heads down, but there are no wild horses that roam freely.

But there were still more horses than there were in the grasslands where they once lived. It's just that most of these horses are imprisoned in "shackles" and carry exquisite saddles on their backs.

"Brother, they say they're not happy."

Xiao Jinxing turned his head to look at Xin'er who was looking around, and saw that she looked sleepy-eyed in the carriage, so he hit the horse and walked to Xin'er's side.

He wanted to touch Xin'er's hair, but suddenly remembered that he was on a horse, so he had to look at Ayi'er beside Xin'er in embarrassment.

Ayi'er hugged Xin'er tightly, took out a wooden comb from her arms with one hand, and combed Xin'er's hair.

"Xin'er, no one in this world can be truly free.

If the herdsman wants to be free, then the women and children in his yurt have nothing to eat.

If a herdsman's wife wants to be free, then his men and children will have no clothes to wear.

Got it? ”

Zhezhe on the side immediately stepped forward and said.

"Uncle Zhezhe, this is just your idea, but the horses don't think so."

Xin'er still said to Zhezhe with a sad face.

"Xin'er, don't think about this, you see the tribe is about to arrive, there will be a lot of friends there."

Xiao Jinxing saw that Zhezhe's words did not comfort Xin'er, and quickly changed the topic.

Zhezhe made a sneering expression at Xiao Jinxing, and then beat his horse and ran towards the tribe.

"Brother, can Xin'er teach those friends in the tribe to sing the songs you taught?"

Xin'er looked at the dense yurts in the distance with wide eyes, and asked Xiao Jinxing.

After Xiao Jinxing smiled and nodded, Xin'er was happy again.

As the largest tribe among the Rong people in the north, the Youyu clan has a total of more than 300,000 people, so a tribe of the size of the Zhezhe tribe is distributed on the grassland with a radius of nearly 1,000 miles.

In the two months after Xiao Jinxing came to the tribe, the young Zhuang who came from all over the country also came here one after another, because they wanted to select the leader of the Youyu tribe before the Di people went south.

The head man not only had to take them to the Dragon City Alliance, go to Xiao Pass to loot, but also lead them to protect their homeland from the Di people's southward war.

The Di people will definitely be a disaster when they go south, although they are also rushing to the Dragon City Alliance, but they also have to survive.

One of the laws of the prairie is that the law of the jungle is the strong.

This kind of thing is always in the hands of the strongest tribe.
