The twilight rain leaped in, and through the dim morning light, he examined his spoils. It was a young face, quite delicate, and judging by the not very lush beard at the corners of his mouth, he should be about the same age as himself.

"Well, not dead, just dizzy!"

She reached out and probed the man's nose. Found and breathing. It seems that the strength of his arrow is just right!

The clothes on his body were not bad, and Twilight touched it and found that the texture was calfskin. He had an empty quiver hanging from his waist, but no bow on his body, and a sword was tied to a wide cowhide belt, which Twilight pulled out casually.

"Not bad!" The steel edge of this knife is very good, and it must have been forged by Ningren craftsmen. I'm afraid it's worth 30 mink.

There was also a small pouch on the belt, which contained a scythe wrapped in deerskin, velvet, bowstring, hooks, line, and a small bottle of grease.

A thin chain of steel beads loomed around his neck, and Twilight reached out and pulled it out, and found a small white ivory plaque hanging from the steel chain.

"The Ning people call these giant beasts that have become skeletons mammoths, and they like to use their teeth to make chopsticks, hairpins, small cards and the like." Every summer, Amma would take his people to find and excavate these massive skeletons.

The people would give the dug tusks to the Xianzhou tribes they knew well, and the Xianzhou people would use the trade edicts issued by the Ningren Yamen to exchange these tusks for the Ninggong Tesu in exchange for steel knives, iron plows, pottery bowls and other daily utensils.

It's amazing that such a huge beast has ever lived in this land. But such a powerful beast, why is it said that it disappears when it disappears? This question has been bothering Twilight for a while......

She carefully looked at the tooth card in her hand, the tooth card was engraved with Chinese characters on both sides anyway, and the characters on one side were large and few, which was yang carving, probably the front; The words on the other side are small and numerous, which is a yin carving, and I think it is the opposite.

"Could this little thief be Ningren? The clothes are in the style of millet and the hair is bald...... That's right! Look at the fingers! ”

Twilight pulled his right hand over again.

"Huh...... There is a wrench on the thumb! There are calluses on the thumb, index finger, and middle finger! The old lady grabbed Aha with her own hands, how could it be Ningren! ”

The way in which the Su people shoot arrows is different from that of the Ning people, who are accustomed to using the three fingers of the index finger, middle finger and ring finger to buckle the string and release the arrow; With the help of the wrench on the thumb, the Su people use the thumb, index finger, and middle finger to pinch the arrows and scatter them.

This kind of scattering is more difficult than that of the Ning people, but after mastering it, it can be easier to pull away the hard work, and it is also more convenient when riding and shooting.

Despite this, Twilight hid the tooth tag in her arms, and as the first Aha she had grabbed with her own hands, she would not allow the slightest flaw on him......

This Aha was later tied to the back of a pack horse and pulled back to the Zhanghu Pagoda at the confluence of the Peony Ula and the Toad River.

"Who are you? What happened in Wild Crane City that night! ”

Twilight Ama asked majestically as she sat in the council hall in the middle of the tunluo.

"That night, my clan and I were drinking and barbecued outside the Wild Crane City, and suddenly found that the main village in the city was on fire, and then the people outside the city shouted everywhere, some people shouted that the wild crane was to avenge the world, and designed to gather Xianzhou and Ning Gongte outside the wild crane city, and some people shouted that Xianzhou colluded with Lin Chengdong to forcibly seize the wild crane city in the name of marrying relatives.

Then it was found that someone in the crowd had been hit by an arrow, and someone was screaming, and then the people who had just been drinking and singing together drew their knives and slashed each other. Chopping and chopping, I heard the thunderous hooves of horses getting closer and closer, and many people shouted "Cavalry!" Liaodong Iron Rider is coming! So they stopped cutting and fled in all directions. I was on the outermost lap and the fastest.

In the darkness, I did not know the direction, and I felt into your camp in a daze, and when I saw a horse, I wanted to lead one and flee for my life...... As for my identity...... I have committed the great sin of stealing, and if I say who I am, I will disgrace my ancestors and my clan! ”

At this moment, the council hall was already crowded with men, women and children of the tribe, and everyone listened with bated breath, and the hall was not noisy.

Naaha knelt in the hall. The luxurious cowhide coat on his body has been stripped off, and his muscular upper body is naked. The answer is neither humble nor arrogant.

"Okay, I'll allow you to keep the secret of your life experience, since you already know the sins you have committed, then you must honestly be Aha in the Zhanghu Tower!

From now on, everything you used to have before is as far away as the clouds on the edge of the sky. Henceforth thou shalt work diligently, serve the Lord faithfully, and charge ahead when there is a battle array. In this way, you can wash away your shame and sin!

If you make meritorious service to the clan, you can redeem your merits, restore your freedom, and make you a warrior of the Zhanghu Pagoda Division! Do you understand? ”

"Understood,......" the man replied bitterly, biting his lower lip with his teeth.

"Okay, now in front of everyone, bow down to your new master!"

Before Amma could finish speaking, Twilight proudly stepped out of the crowd and came to him.

"You were stunned by my dignified arrow, are you convinced?"

"I'm ......"

"What I, mine, from now on call myself a slave! Say hello to this master! ”

The man knocked silently, his forehead slamming against the stone floor with a loud thud that startled the onlookers, and he slowly got up, blood oozing from his forehead and flowing through the deep, small eyes.

In addition to the cold light that burst out in an instant and quickly disappeared, Twilight found that there was a grudge hidden in those small eyes......

After a brief moment of staring at each other, "Ahha" slowly turned around and walked out of the crowd, but after only three or four steps, he fell to the ground with a thud - the self-masochistic prostration just now made him faint again......

A loud burst of laughter among the clansmen!

"Worthy of my daughter! sneaked quietly in the night, and then broke down the arrow, and captured such a proud Aha, hahaha, brave and strategic! Amma laughed with joy.

The two men separated from the crowd and carried Dusk Rain's Aha out of the council room.

There are more than 1,000 people in the Zhanghu Tower, including more than 300 men who can wear armor, and more than 100 healthy women can get on the horse and shoot the bow to help in the battle. There are also more than 200 Aha in the tun. Most of them were border people captured from Gaoxian, and there were also a small number of Ning people and Su Ta prisoners of war from other tribes.

In the subconscious of the Ning people in Guannei, the Su people live by fishing and hunting, and do not farm, but if you open the vast historical books of the Ning people, you will find that in fact, the Su people have a history of nearly 1,000 years of planting crops such as sorghum and Dongnuwheat.

In wartime, the sturdy Aha will be the first wave of dead soldiers wearing double armor to attack the enemy's military formations and camps. Aha will be able to regain his freedom after the war, but even if he is physically free, he must remain politically attached to his original master......

The Dusk Yu family originally had five Ahha, including two Gaoxian female slaves, two Ningren male slaves, and one wild crane prisoner of war. Twilight gives the newly captured Aha a name - Nesin (Great Bear).

Not only because this man's muscles are as thick as a bear, but also because in Twilight's eyes, he is often as stupid as a bear, for example, this man can't even plow the land!

"Poor boy, if I hadn't caught him, he might still be a young master in a certain tribe......" At dusk, watching the little bear who had finished harvesting sorghum slowly walking down the South Mountain with a tired figure, Twilight's heart was slightly sour.
