Chapter 37: Returning Home
When she woke up, the first thing she saw was the sky. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The autumn sky is high, the clouds are very white, but they are shaking and shaking. My head still hurts, and my face seems to be sticky with blood, but in autumn there are no flies and less buzzing.
His hands and feet were bound and he was chained to a stick, and it was carried by several slaves who had escaped with him, apparently also caught.
Although one of the hands carrying the wooden stick was tied, he still tried not to let the wooden stick shake, as if he was afraid that Yin would suffer on it, and the person walking in front still looked back from time to time, and when he saw that Ying opened his eyes, his face finally showed surprise, and he spat viciously at the betrayer in the team next to him.
Hagi moaned softly, and when she opened her eyes again, she saw a young face.
"You are amazing, let me chase for a month, and I haven't been in the city during the Lidong Festival. I'm wolfskin, the one who grabbed you. ”
Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, moistening a somewhat dry and sore throat, he didn't take care of the wolf skin, but shouted at the betrayers in the crowd who didn't dare to turn back: "I'm your brother!" ”
The betrayer hurriedly took a few steps forward, not daring to turn back or respond.
The wolf skin took a skin bag and poured water on the face of the wolf, who at first closed his mouth tightly, and finally stuck out his tongue and licked the water mixed with his own blood, which was a little fishy, but very strong.
A moment later, the wolf skin walked to the front of the group, grabbing the betrayer's hair with one hand, like grabbing a goose that could not resist, even though the man had hands, and even had great strength to smash the worm twice, but at this time he was honest like a worm on a vegetable leaf, and his hands did not even have the courage to raise his hands to protect his hair.
"Tell me, your brother asked you."
The betrayer turned sideways, not daring to look directly into the eyes of the man, and the person carrying the man spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm in his face, but this time he dared to dodge it, and kicked the man in the waist hard, but then he was whipped in the face.
Wolfskin put away his whip, stopped the group, lowered the scorpion, and untied the rope from his legs. Twenty-nine days of chasing made him admire the person in front of him very much, if it weren't for this betrayer, he didn't know how many days it would take to catch this person, but Wolf Skin was not grateful to this betrayer, on the contrary, he was a little disgusted.
The betrayer was caught in front of Hagi, and after thinking for a long time, he said, "Brother, I don't want to die, and I don't want to be a slave. ”
"Wait a few more days, have you forgotten what I said that night?"
"There are two ways to not be a slave, you want to be a slave, I just don't want me to be a slave."
Hagi thought for a while, understood the difference, turned his eyes to the side, and no longer spoke to this person, but asked the wolf skin who refused even the water before: "Where is this going?" ”
"Yangguan, you want to grab the place where the seeds, but unfortunately there is not a grain in that place."
"That's the land of Xia City, too?"
"Yes."
"We're going to send it to Xia City to be executed?"
"Execution? No, Ji Xia said let me take you back, otherwise you would have been shot to death by me. ”
Hagi was very happy knowing that he would not die, so there was still a chance for more people to escape.
He thought that this time he should be more stable, and the next time he wanted to run, it would be better to spend a year quietly discussing with the slaves and escaping with the seeds.
So after saying these words, he kept silent, and kept thinking about the details of the next escape, thinking about the next escape, and how to talk to the slaves and prevent anyone from betraying.
It's just that his younger brothers of the same clan have betrayed him, so how do you know who will betray who can be trusted?
On the way back to Yangguan, Hagi was pondering about this until late in the evening when he heard the wolf cubs in the crowd suddenly howl, as if there were people in the distance.
The whole team stopped, and Hoi raised her head and looked at the path ahead in a daze.
The light of the setting sun fell on the grass and trees, there was no wind, only bleak autumn, and among the withered grass and yellow leaves hundreds of steps away, more than a dozen people were also stunned there, motionless like the team here.
Their hair was scattered, and their bodies were as black as those of the others, and their thin bodies were supported by a wooden stick on crutches.
The evening sun stained their faces red, but they could not hide the haggard on their faces, and their black faces were covered with oil mud.
The original clothes on his body were torn, and two men carried a companion with an obvious wounded leg, and four people carried two stretchers woven of wood and rattan behind them, on which lay a man with several copper swords.
She couldn't see the bronze sword, only the emaciated and thin of these people, and thought to herself, maybe this group of people were also escaped slaves, right? They were stronger than themselves, and although they were still caught, at least these people did not abandon their companions, and they could not stand still, and they had to carry a companion.
Knowing that he might be beaten for speaking at this time, he still shouted with his greatest strength: "Run!" ”
The whip that should have fallen in his imagination did not hit him in the face, and at the same time as he shouted this sentence, the group of people chasing them beside him suddenly learned the voice of the wolf cub, raised their heads, and whistled for a long time.
The other side did not flee, but tore at his torn clothes, howling loudly, and cries mixed with cries.
Hagi had never heard such a cry, not scared, not fearful, not sad, but more like the attachment of a child when he finally found his mother.
Cries and howls converged, and the leaves fluttered in the mountains and forests, startling thousands of birds and scaring beasts and bears.
The captors of the slaves, after howling, did not look at the slaves again, and rushed to the side of the group in a frenzy, holding each other's hands, but did not know what to say.
The few people who were still standing on the opposite side seemed to have exhausted their last strength at this time, and sat on the ground, holding a few pendants in their hands, crying and howling bitterly.
Wolf Skin recognized these people, these were the people who had gone out with Jian Chen two months ago, and they were also the clansmen who had stayed on the grassland with Baima, the best group of scouts in the entire tribe.
But there was no trace of the white horse inside, there were 100 people left in the grassland, but these people only had 25 eyes, and the man lying on the stretcher had pus in his left eye, and he was already in a coma, but it was like the autumn dusk, and it glowed with its last glory before the curtain ended.
His right eye was not injured, but at this time there was only darkness left, and even if the setting sun sprinkled on his face, he could not feel a trace of light.
groping and hearing the voice of the wolf skin, he grabbed the corner of the wolf skin and asked, "Brother, is it you?" ”
Wolfskin snorted, this is the younger brother of his clan, the youngest scout in the city. He glanced at the person next to him, who shook his head silently and said nothing.
Wolf Skin squatted down, held the other party's cold hand, and whispered, "I'm here." ”
"Brother, is it dark?"
Wolf Skin glanced back at the still shining sunset, nodded and said, "It's dark, and a fire will be lit in a while." ”
But as soon as the words fell, a pair of old eagles who returned at night in the tree next to them called twice and fell back into their nests in the tall trees.
"You lie to me, how can the old eagle bark when it's dark?"
Wolf Skin gritted his teeth and looked at the old eagle's nest in the distance, wanting to make up a lie, but the young scout didn't ask this again, as if he understood something, his cold hand sank slightly, and a smile squeezed out of his swollen face and said, "Am I going to the place where my ancestors lived?" Last time I hunted, Sister Yu Qian'er still owes me a jar of corn wine, brother, you help me come back and pour it on my grave, the ancestors taught us to grow wheat, but they didn't teach us to grow corn, I want to give them a taste. Also, I asked Brother Jian for a horse, I still want to ride a horse over there. ”
He said very lightly, as if he was going on a long trip, wolf skin arbitrarily agreed, the child hung his hand in a daze, only his chest was still slightly undulating, wolf skin called out his brother's name a few times, but there was no response after all.
After a long time, the sun set its last rays from the mountains, and the child lying there suddenly cried out, "I don't want to go to my ancestors...... I want to go home...... I want to go home......"
His hands were clawing around, and the wolf skin hurriedly crouched down and leaned his arm over, and when he saw that the hands were about to grasp his wrist, the arm finally hung stiffly, only a little.
The wolfskin jumped up like crazy, picked up a stick, struck the trunk of the old owl's nest so hard, startled the pair, gritted his teeth and drew the bow, shot the two black birds down, and went over and chopped his feet hard. With red eyes, he smashed his fist against the tree and asked, "How can this be?" What about the white horse? What about those people? What's going on? (To be continued.) )
