Ke Muzhi and Hawking came to a bear hug, and they hugged very hard and hard. The strong chests touched together, and the two hands were beaten the back, which was the standard Qiang etiquette, and the harder the beating, the deeper the friendship between the two.

Finally, when the meeting ceremony between the two of them was over, Ke Muzhi came over and saluted Su Ren: "Mr. is finally here, didn't you meet anything wrong on the road?" Now we in the Yellow Sheep tribe can no longer protect Mr. 's safety! ”

Ke Muzhi said a little lonely. A half-old child has to pick up a tribe of thousands of people, and such a burden is a bit heavy for him.

Su Ren smiled slightly: "Thank you Gongzi for your concern, the journey went smoothly, I didn't expect that it has only been a few months, how did it become like this on the grassland?" ”

Ke Muzhi shook his head, he wanted to say that it was all the Han people, but the words changed when he came to his mouth: "Sir, please come in, my father is waiting for you in the big tent!" ”

Riwu Buji has lost a lot of weight, and he is no longer the tall old man he was at the beginning. Lying on the sheepskin felt is like a long fritter. The tent was filled with the strong smell of medicine and the stench of the wound. Although the back is covered, you can see the yellow pus oozing out. Su Ren only glanced at it and knew that the wound was infected. In this place where there are no medical measures, such an infection is very deadly, and it is already an eye-opener that Rivu Buji can hold on for so many days.

The weak Riwu Buji reluctantly squeezed out a smile: "What goods did Mr. bring this time, I don't know how much you can leave for us?" ”

"As much as the leader wants, we will keep as much as he wants! The Yellow Sheep tribe is my friend, and when my friend is in trouble, I will definitely do my best to help! ”

"But we don't have that many livestock!" Ke Muzhi had already seen it when he entered the account, although Su Ren brought not many goods this time, most of them were weapons, and the current price of this thing on the grassland was ridiculously high.

Su Ren sighed: "Don't worry, Childe, I said that I will help with all my strength, as long as it is what you need, I am willing to reduce the price!" ”

"Really?" Ri Wubuji was a little excited, and he turned over on the sheepskin felt hard, and glanced at Ke Muzhi, with a warm fatherly smile on his face: "Now our Yellow Sheep tribe is saved!" ”

The camp of the Yellow Sheep tribe has changed a lot. Because of the war, all the herdsmen in the vicinity gathered near Eagle Lake. Large areas of pasture were filled with herds of livestock, and the areas where the animals had gnawed turned an earthy yellow, and the breeze brought up dust that almost covered the entire camp. Eagle Lake is not as beautiful as it used to be, and there are piles of droppings of feces on the edge of the lake, and flies are flying in groups.

Su Ren's caravan began to open, and food was what the Qiang people needed most. Since he agreed to Rivubuji, Su Ren decided that one horse could be exchanged for two bags of grain. The price was cut in half, which attracted a frenzy of herders. Soon, there was not much food left with Su Ren, and a large herd of horses and cattle and sheep gathered in the caravan's fence.

Ke Muzhi looked a little heartbroken, but he couldn't do anything about it. Livestock are the treasures of their herdsmen, and the herdsmen, who are accustomed to eating bread and meat, have given up their meat habits for thousands of years, which makes Ke Muzhi incomprehensible. The best horses and livestock were replaced by Su Ren like this, and he was unwilling.

Riwu Buji stroked his son's head: "Don't be sad, there will be more cattle and sheep on the grassland next year, as long as you can guard our herdsmen and pastures, everything will be fine!" ”

Ke Muzhi's tears kept falling: "But this war is still going on, who knows that day will stop, if the war doesn't stop for a day, we can't have more livestock!" ”

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......" Ri Wubu coughed violently, and he knew that what his son said was right. Looking at his youngest son, Hivu Buji didn't know how to answer.

Ke Muzhi hurriedly handed the water bowl to Ri Wu Buji's mouth, and Ri Wu Buji took a sip lightly: "After trading with the Han people this time, you will take the clan to Lufo Canyon, right?" With these weapons, hold the valley mouth and wait until the war on the steppe is over before coming out! ”

"Father!"

"Hey!" Rivu Buji sighed: "We don't have many people left, remember, we must keep the entire tribe!" ”

Huge eagles hovered in the sky, and these scavengers were now comfortable and no longer had to worry about food. When you are hungry, you can swoop down and find the corpses that have died in battle. The eagle's roar is high-pitched and bright, and can travel far in an open area. There were three of them, hovering over the camp of the Yellow Sheep tribe.

Ke Muzhi walked in front with the corpse of Ri Wubuji, followed by a large group of weeping herdsmen. Riwu Buji is a good leader, he has ruled the Yellow Sheep tribe for many years, and the herdsmen of the Yellow Sheep tribe have personally felt that their lives are better. Although there is still not enough food and clothing, at least fewer people die in winter, and more importantly, the number of livestock has increased a lot.

The Qiang people practice sky burial. Gently putting down his father's body, Ke Muzhi took out his knife and burst into tears. Looking at his father, who was already thin and had no pounds, he couldn't do it for a long time. Jalan Zhenbo put one hand on Ke Muzhi's shoulder, and the other hand took the knife from Ke Muzhi's hand. Without saying a word, he came to Rivubuki's side and decomposed Rivubuki's corpse.

The strong smell of blood wafted through the air, immediately attracting several eagles overhead. Without thinking about it, one swooped down and began to peck at the corpse of Swop in front of everyone. The eagle ate happily, and the rest of the people cried sadly.

Su Ren, Hawking and the others were far away, and when they saw this scene, many people turned their heads and tried their best to hold back their nausea. In the eyes of the Han people, this is too cruel, and only a barbarian like the Qiang can do such a thing.

Hawking burst into tears, turned his head to Su Ren and said, "Big brother, can you give the rest of the food to Ke Muzhi?" ”

The old fox looked at Hawking like an idiot: "We came to Qiangdi to do business, and we will take Qiangdi in the future, and these grains may save many people!" ”

Hawking turned his head and glared at the old fox fiercely, and even Huang Shisan and Su Kai stared at him maliciously. The old fox provoked the anger of the crowd and hurriedly approached Su Ren.

Su Ren sighed and looked at the group of ragged Qiang people: "Okay, leave what we need, and give everything else to Ke Muzhi, since Ke Muzhi is Xiao Jinzi's friend, this friendship must be preserved!" ”

The old fox looked at Su Ren strangely, and seemed to understand something in his mind.

Riwu Buji died, and the Yellow Sheep tribe was taken over by Ke Muzhi. Because of Su Ren's arrival, the life of the tribe has been much better during this time, and laughter that has not been heard for a long time can also appear once in a while. There was no one to provoke on the border, and the two tribes of horses and panthers seemed to have been discussed, and during this time, they all fell silent. Everything seems to be back to the way it used to be. But Ke Muzhi knew that this was just a calm before the greater danger came.

"Mr. Su, I want to buy all your weapons, I don't know how many livestock you are going to want?" Ke Muzhi sat in the place where he had been in the dark, and he stood behind him majestically.

Su Ren shrunk his hands in his sleeves: "Cough! According to the law of the Han Dynasty, no iron weapons are allowed to leave the country, and although there are not many iron weapons in these weapons, I am also taking a great risk, so I ......"

"I know, Mr. said a price, as long as my Yellow Sheep tribe can take it out, there is absolutely no problem, even if it can't be taken out, I will owe it first, and we will pay it back after a while!" Ke Muzhi interrupted Su Ren's words, with a solemn expression.

"Do you know that with these weapons, it is enough to start ten wars!"

"We won't start a war, let's be honest, after trading with Mr. this time, our Yellow Sheep tribe will retreat into the Lufo Canyon, and it won't come out again in the past few years!"

"Oh? Isn't that where you spend the winter? ”

"Yes, after this war, the Yellow Sheep tribe is already very fragile, and there is only a dead end if we continue to fight, for the sake of the Yellow Sheep tribe and for the future of our Qiang people, we must be patient, only in this way can we have hope."

"But that place has been occupied by your second brother, in addition, although the Lufo Canyon is safe, there is no abundant water and grass, there are more than 2,000 people in your Yellow Sheep tribe, and there are tens of thousands of livestock, so many people go in, I'm afraid it won't last long!"

"At this point, there is no need for Mr. to worry, as a child of the White Stone God, only the strongest people are worthy of survival, and I, including my clansmen, have this awareness!"

Su Ren took a deep breath. This is the characteristic of nomads, their courage and fighting are inseparable from their way of life. The grassland is beautiful, but it is also the most cruel, they abide by the survival of the fittest, strong men, strong women are the most suitable people to survive in this land, those old, weak, sick and disabled have only one result, that is, death.

Su Ren remembered a story, time and characters are not examinable. I just remember that it is also a tribe that lives in a cold land, in order to keep the whole tribe and the tribe alive, every winter, when life is the hardest, the old people of the clan will commit suicide en masse to save precious food so that others can survive the cold. This is the harshest of life, and only such a way of life will make these savage tribes brave and good at fighting.

"Alright! I agree! As long as you give me 5,000 war horses, all these weapons will be given to you! ”

"It's a deal!" Ke Muzhi did not bargain, he knew that this was the best price, if it was placed at the beginning, five thousand war horses could only be exchanged for five thousand bags of grain, which added up to only enough for three months' rations for the clansmen. He glanced back at Jalan Zhenbo and said, "Go, gather all the war horses, except for the mounts of the warriors, and hand them all over to Mr. Su!" ”

"Master, this!" Jalan Zhenbo clenched his fists and said angrily: "In that case, we will lose almost all our horses!" ”

Ke Muzhi closed his eyes, and after a long time, he said, "Go!" For the sake of our people, let's take a gamble! ”
