Chapter 12: Countless bells pass over the moraine

The jingle of the camel bell was Aitengina's favorite sound, but now when she heard it in the carriage, she heard nothing but troubles and resentment. Although Aitengana is the lord of Turgish, she has not seen much of the world except for the surroundings of Shattered Leaf City. Before, Ayi Tenggena had been clamoring to go to Datang to have a look, especially to go to Chang'an, the pearl between heaven and earth. At that time, Ayi Tenggena did not expect that one day, she would meet the long-awaited Tang Dynasty as a captive.

In fact, Ayitengna couldn't tell if she was a prisoner. That night, on the bank of Suye Water, after being caught by the brave white-faced Tang general, he was brought to the commander of the Tang Army. The commander of the Tang army looked at Aitenga for a long time, then looked at the little boy standing beside him, and then explained a few words to the white-faced Tang general, and let the little boy and a black-faced warrior take him away.

Aitengana has been learning Tang dialect for more than a year, and she knows that not only Tuqishi, but also the special services and princesses of all the tribes around the Tang Dynasty will have to learn Tang dialect. Ayitengna also heard her father Khan say that it seems that in the very, very far east sea, there is a dwarf country, and the dwarf country often sends some dwarfs to come to Chang'an to learn Tang dialect.

When the coach of the Tang Army looked at Ayi Tenggena, she vaguely understood a few words, such as "also a poor child", "taste", "don't be embarrassed", "don't report for the time being" and so on. Although she didn't fully understand, she felt that the elegant Tang Army coach didn't seem to hate her. It's just that she didn't understand what "taste" meant at the time, did she mean that she had "taste" on her body?

As she looked down to see if she had any smell on her, Aitengna was taken to the tent by the boy and the black-faced samurai. The cowhide tent is sheltered from the wind and cold, and it is as warm as spring, which makes Ayitengna, who has been frightened in the night wind for a long time, feel as if she has returned to Broken Leaf City. At this time, Ayitengna couldn't help but think that Father Khan and Kudulu didn't know where they were, and now they were left alone.

The black-faced warrior interrupted Aitengana's musings in Turkic language, "County Lord, don't think about your identity anymore, and serve Xiao Langjun by his side in the future." ”

What the? Let me serve this little boy who is older than me. Aitengna's nose almost crooked. Since I was a child, others have served me, and when have I ever done the work of serving milk and pouring water.

Looking at Aitengna's pursed mouth, the little boy walked over, took Aitengna's jade hand, and said a few words with sincerity on his face.

Before Aitenghena could fully understand, the black-faced warrior said in Turkic: "Xiao Langjun said, you should treat him as an elder brother, and you don't need to do anything special." ”

"Brother?" Aitengana's crescent-like eyes moistened, "Where is Kuduru now?" ”

After a few days, Aitengna gradually became familiar with her new life, and she accompanied the little boy every day. The little boy lived a regular life, getting up every morning before midnight and starting to practice swords with the black-faced samurai. The little boy's skills were still much worse than those of Kudulu, but he was particularly persevering, and he could stand in front of a wooden stake and practice a movement repeatedly for more than half an hour.

After practicing the knife, the little boy called her to eat with her. Breakfast consisted mainly of Hu bread and millet porridge, and there was also cheese for Aitengana. The little boy ate quickly, and when he finished eating, he went outside to play a very strange set of punches, slowly and leisurely, and his hands kept drawing circles in the air.

After eating, the white-faced Tang General came to instruct the little boy to practice bows and arrows. The little boy has a specially made soft bow, although he can't shoot far, but the little boy's posture of opening the bow and releasing the arrow is clear-eyed.

After an hour of training in the bow and arrow, he began to prepare for the riding of the horse, and the little boy took a small wooden stick that was taller than him, and tried to assassinate him on his horse.

Aitengna liked the afternoon very much, because in the afternoon the boy's task was to study the Book of Songs and the Analects. The teacher was a young and handsome Tang man, and he smiled at Aitengna, asked her how much Tang she had learned, and asked Aitengana to continue learning with him.

With such a regular and busy life, Ayitengna sometimes mistakenly thinks that she is still in Shattered Leaf City, and nothing has changed. I either watched Kudulu practice swords all day long, or learned Tang dialect with Kudulu......

The jingling sound that could come from the Dayun Temple and the shouts of the Tang Army's drills told Aitenga that everything had changed.

Aitengana asked the little boy what the Great Cloud Temple was doing, and the little boy told her nonchalantly that it was to repair the Great Cloud Temple. Aitengna found that when she asked this question, the black-faced samurai's gaze seemed to sweep over her face. It was many years later that Aitenggana understood why Wang Yong glared at her at that time.

After another seven or eight days, Tang Jun began to pack his bags and prepare for the class to return to Beiting. At this time, Aitenga realized that she was leaving Shattered Leaf City, leaving the place where she grew up, and she might never come back.

"Yiyue, come down quickly, get ready to camp." The sound outside the carriage disrupted Ai Tenggena's contemplation, and I don't know when, Wang Fei had already gotten out of the carriage.

"Yiyue" is the Tang name given to her by Wang Fei. Wang Fei said that since "Ayitengna" means moon in Turkic, the word "month" should be set first; Ai Tenggana is a girl, and "Yi" means girl. Let's call it "Yiyue", and it sounds beautiful to read. But Ayi Tenggna remembered that she had learned the word "Yi" before, and it seemed that no teacher had mentioned that this word meant a girl. Ayi Tenggena would never have imagined that looking at the world, only Wang Fei, a person who knows about the New Culture Movement, thinks that "Yi" has the meaning of a girl.

Once you have decided on a name, it is time to take a surname. Aitengana thought that Wang Fei would give her the surname "Wang", after all, it is very normal for a slave to follow her master's surname. But Wang Fei gave her the surname "Meng", and when she asked why, Wang Fei's eyes became distant and blurred.
