Chapter 1: Bailijian
"Drive, drive, drive......"
"Come on, come and chase me! Hehe......"
A string of silver bell-like laughter rang out in the vast grassland, and a group of children rode horses chasing each other on the grassland.
At the front was a little girl of about thirteen or fourteen years old, wearing a small pigtail on her head, a narrow sleeved shirt with a round neck and a pair of trousers on her lower body, and a white horse galloping at a gallop under her crotch. He was followed by seven or eight half-sized children, dressed similarly to the little girls, but all shirtless, urging the horses under their crotches to run faster.
Behind this group of children, there was also a child about ten years old, wrapped in a thick layer of leather, riding on the horse and swaying three times, as if he was about to fall off at any moment.
"Bailijian, hurry up, we can't catch up with Naiza,"
The kid in front shouted at Bai Lijian behind him at the top of his voice.
"Go after me, leave me alone!" Bai Lijian replied loudly as he tried to stabilize his body.
"Then we won't wait for you, don't say we didn't give you a chance to chase Naiza!" After speaking, everyone hula suddenly accelerated and chased after him.
Naiza, who was still running in front of the excitement, turned around and saw Bailijian, who was getting farther and farther away from her, and suddenly couldn't be happy, her face sank, and she gradually slowed down her horse's speed.
"Naiza, why didn't you run away?" The kid asked strangely.
"If you don't run, it's not fun at all." Naiza pouted in displeasure.
"No, it's rare that we have the opportunity to run horses, and we don't have to memorize those messy books all day, what a pity to go back now."
"Zhelun, that's learning!" Bai Lijian finally caught up with everyone, and when he saw that someone was questioning the endorsement, he immediately explained with a serious face.
"Hmph, you're the only outsider in the entire tribe who is interested in those strange things, and you have to drag us to suffer with you." Zhelun said with a displeased face.
"Zhelun, this is what the elder meant, are you questioning the elder?" Nayiza saw that Zhelun had an opinion about Bailijian, and hurriedly helped.
At the mention of the elder, Zhelun suddenly lost his temperament, and muttered calmly, "I didn't say that!" ”
"I don't dare!" Nayza raised her head and snorted, like a proud peacock.
Naiza was indeed a peacock, and she had the qualifications of pride, for she was the daughter of the tribal chief.
The tribe to which everyone belonged was a small tribe that did not even have a name, and there were only more than 100 people in the whole tribe, and the property of the entire tribe added up to more than 300 cattle and sheep and forty or fifty horses. People usually have to rely on hunting to supplement their daily lives.
Bai Lijian was not originally from this tribe, but was picked up from outside by the tribe's elder Bai Li Xuan. As for his true identity, Bai Li Xuan is not clear, and the only thing that can prove Bai Li Jian's identity is a jade plate that he carries with him. The jade plate has a Di character written on it, and Baili Xuan has searched and verified it in many ways, only to know that this word is a 'Jian' word, so Baili Xuan named it Baili Jian.
Since childhood, Bailijian has been very intelligent, those books in the Han family that are equivalent to astronomy for people in the tribe, there is no obstacle here in Bailijian, not only can read through, but also can explain the meaning. Although some places are explained very simply, this also makes Baili Xuan shocked.
Baili Xuan was not originally from the tribe, but a Han who fled from the south, because he knew some pharmacology, often helped the people in the tribe to see a doctor, and also took care of the treatment of livestock, so he had a high prestige in the tribe. The books that Bai Lijian reads on weekdays are also brought by Bai Li Xuan when he fled from the south.
Bailixuan intends to cultivate Bailijian, but due to his own education level, he doesn't know what to teach when he teaches Bailijian when he is seven years old. While feeling depressed in his heart, he could only try his best to collect some books for Baili Jian to read.
Bailijian's heart is actually very depressed, inexplicably crossing over from the 21st century, becoming a newborn baby, still lying on the vast desert grassland. God knows how lucky Bai Lijian was, he met Bai Li Xuan, who happened to flee and got lost, and only then did he pick up a small life.
The life on the grassland is very boring for Bailijian, and he can only pass the time by reading books on weekdays. But Bai Li Xuan's collection of books is really limited, and there are no new books to read when Bai Li Jian is eight years old, and even those old books have been turned over at least three times.
So out of boredom, Bailijian decided to learn to ride a horse and shoot arrows. Growing up on the grassland, if you don't have excellent riding and archery skills, you can easily lose your life. But alas, Bailijian doesn't seem to have any talent for learning to ride a horse and archery.
The children on the grassland have been crawling on horseback since they were young, and they are simply familiar with horseback archery, but Bailijian has studied for two whole years, and he can only ride on horseback without falling off, as for archery, it can't be mentioned, and he can't even pull a stone bow. And other friends of the same age have already hunted all over the world with bows.
However, every time I go out hunting, the most prey I get back in the end is Bailijian. The lack of developed limbs is Bailijian's weakness, but his strong mind allows Bailijian to easily catch prey through various traps without much effort.
This is a grassland thousands of years ago, and the destruction of human beings has not had much impact on the grassland, the grassland is vast and sparsely populated, and there are countless prey. You only need to set a few simple traps at the water source, and you can make Bailijian reap the full harvest.
While others were envious of Bailijian, they gradually realized the importance of their minds, so those half-grown children who stayed on horseback all day on weekdays were sent to Bailixuan by the patriarch who had a bit of vision.
Baili Xuan himself is a half-ass, and he can't teach students at all, so he can only copy his previous teaching methods and let those boys who don't know a single big word endorse them. Anyone who can't carry it will be punished by the patriarch and his beloved horses will be confiscated.
Now it's hard to get those simple-minded, well-limbed kids, especially Zhelun.
Zhelun is the most powerful in the younger generation, but his mind is the worst among the younger generation, no matter how many small stoves Bailijian prescribes to him, he can't make Zhelun's dead brain open. Therefore, the punishment for Zhelun was also the heaviest, and he had not come out to ride for months.
After countless nights of rote memorization, Zhelun was finally able to recognize fifty large characters, and by the way, he could write his own name, although it was not much better than a dog's crawl. So the patriarch pardoned Zhelun and let him come out on horseback.
