Chapter 279: Muren (1)
"Up, Makihito." A few soft calls woke Muren from his deep sleep.
Before dawn, Mu Ren still remembered that he was herding sheep these days, running far away, and he was really tired, so he moved his body, "Let me sleep for a while, Eji (Mongolian Yu Niang)." ”
"It's not early, go late, be careful and be whipped by the housekeeper." Mu Renniang babbled and said, "This housekeeper is really ruthless, you hid a little goat's milk, and actually whipped you ten times, does it still hurt?" ”
"Sizzle... Tap, Egi. "It's okay not to mention it, as soon as I mentioned the whip, the hot pain that I had forgotten in my sleep instantly burned on my back, and the pain made Mu Ren inhale cold air, but his mother accidentally touched his wound again, which added fuel to the fire.
Mu Renniang wanted to help him and help him get up, but when she saw this, she could only put him down, "Get up quickly, or you will feel better later." ”
Mu Ren hummed and chirped to put on his clothes, wiped his face indiscriminately, took the earthen bowl handed over by his mother, and looked at the goat's milk in it, and couldn't help complaining, "Eji, this Tangith is too picky, we don't do less work, but he gives us this milk, but the water is getting more and more." ”
When Mu Renniang heard this, she put down the bowl in her hand in a panic, covered Mu Ren's mouth and whispered, "You want to call your lord, do you hear?" You call him by his name, and if someone with a heart hears and denounces him, he will be beaten again. ”
"What kind of adult is he," said Mu Ren nonchalantly, "but his father is not dead." ”
"Alas, the boss is very old, and he has not been concerned about anything for many years, and you don't know that the location of this Taiji will belong to Lord Tanghis sooner or later." Mu Renniang said in a low voice.
"Hmph, yes, his father and son are both Jinren's Taiji, and they are no longer the Khan of our Sunit." Muren poured a mouthful of goat's milk, which was as light as water, and barely suppressed the hunger in his stomach.
Mu Renniang panicked and became annoyed, and regardless of the injury on Mu Ren's back, she slapped him on the shoulder, "You can say that too?" If someone hears it, your life is at risk. ”
After that, he put down the bowl in his hand and sobbed, "You Qige and Ahe (big brother in Mongolian) are gone, only you and Hasen are left, Hasen has been sick for these days, and there is no sign of improvement at all, if you have any accidents, how can I live." ”
"What's that, it's all down now, who doesn't say that about their father and son." Muren was quite unconvinced, but when he saw that his Eji was sad, he didn't dare to talk back, so he only muttered quietly.
In order to divert his mother's attention, Muren pointed to Hasen, who was still lying down, and asked, "What kind of illness did Hudu (Mongolian brother) have, do you want me to ask Emuqi (Mongolian doctor) or shaman to come and see him?" ”
"I can't eat enough, what do I want to invite?" Mu Renniang sighed, "Hasen's disease, I know what's going on, it's just that I haven't eaten enough, and I've done a lot of work, and the sun is so hot that I get it, to put it bluntly, it's a disease of hunger, if I can have some food, boil some paste, and pour it hot on him, it's good for a while." ”
"A few years ago, he died in the Guannai, and that Tanghis... Didn't the adults promise to give a bag of grains? Eji, you wait, I'll look for him to go. Muren finished the last sip of milk, put down the bowl and said.
Yesterday, when he was milking, he secretly hid the milk, which was also for Hasen, but he didn't expect it to be discovered.
Mu Renniang wanted to stop it, but look at her youngest son Hasen, who was still unconscious, she finally didn't dissuade Mu Ren again, it's okay to try, even if you can't get food, at most, you will be kicked by Don Keith's domestic servants, there is no problem for Muren, if it comes, Hasen's life will be picked up.
"Alas, if you Ah He is still here, with his ability, he can pick up some wild animals and exchange them for some food." Speaking of this, I remembered something, and I couldn't help but cry like rain.
"Eji!" Mu Ren patted his mother's back and reassured, "Don't be sad, the people in the tribe have said that Ah He was wronged." ”
Muren's eldest brother Chao Litai, one of the famous warriors of the Sunit Division, was unparalleled in riding and shooting, and he should have gone to the pass, but their father knew that the soldiers were in danger, so he didn't let Chao Litai go, and he went on top of it, but the result was that not only did he not grab anything, but he also threw his life in the pass in a daze.
With the arrival of Dolgon a year later, such as Muren's eldest brother Chao Litai, who is young, capable, and somewhat famous, Tai was killed by Dolgon on the charge of colluding with Chahar and intending to be unfavorable to Dakin.
Muren's family suffered a major blow again, and their living standards changed from basic food and clothing to extremely poor people.
He and Hasen were not very old, and without the skills of their eldest brother Chao Litai, the family of three could only barely survive by driving horses and milking sheep for Tangis, the largest herdsman in the tribe.
Mu Renniang didn't pick on his thorn again this time, but sobbed and said, "Chao Litai, this kid I know, I haven't left Sunit since I was a child, how can I collude with Chahar, Master Tangith didn't come forward to say anything, watching this group of children being killed by the Jin people, it's really..."
Between the words, there is still a faint dissatisfaction with Tanghis.
"Okay, I'm fine, you go first, I'll pack up and come, don't let the housekeeper pick on the thorns, the place where you herd sheep is far from here." Mu Renniang adjusted her emotions, wiped her tears, and said to Mu Ren.
In order not to let Tanghis's housekeeper know, every day she went to order a mao, handed over the sheep to Muren and then sneaked back, and then went to pick up Muren on the way at night.
This year is another year of great drought, and a lot of weeds have died on the grassland, and the place where the Sunit Department is located, which was originally a place with abundant water and grass, has not been affected by the impact, and the sheep have to run farther to find some grass.
As a result, many of the livestock raised by the major herdsmen died, and the food distributed by the herdsmen, mainly goat's milk and mare's milk, was mixed with more and more water.
With more people and less work, when a person like Hasen is sick, don't think about being able to work and earn food.
If the herdsmen who work are unlucky enough to starve to death with sheep, they are often beaten and lose their work, and when they meet a ruthless herdsman, they will be extorted for some money and food.
Now some families in the tribe have no source of income at all, so they rely on the three or five sheep they raise to survive, and some people can't wait to kill the sheep, and after their sheep are eaten, they can only wait for death.
