On the first day of the fifth month, Dacaotan. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Hou Jie is indeed very conscientious, he takes the child slaves in practice one by one. Zhang Bao'er looked at them from a distance, without any expression on her face.

Wei Xianyun, who was standing beside Zhang Bao'er, turned his head to look at him, and said softly: "Brother Hou's dedication is not to say, but if you really want to teach them well, you have to bother to find some good masters for them!" ”

Zhang Bao'er nodded and said, "I'm also thinking about this, but now I can only do this first!" ”

At this time, Hou Jie came over and whispered to Zhang Bao'er, "Bao'er, do you want to say something to them?" ”

Zhang Bao'er nodded and said, "It's time to talk about it!" ”

Twenty-three child slaves stood in front of Zhang Bao'er together, they were no longer the thin and weak appearance when they first bought them, and a wave of vitality came to their faces.

"What are you mine?" Zhang Bao'er suddenly asked loudly.

"Slave!" The child slaves replied in unison.

"Who am I?"

"Master!"

Zhang Bao'er shook her head and said, "You are wrong! ”

Including Wei Xianyun, everyone was stunned, they didn't understand what Zhang Bao'er meant.

Zhang Bao'er glanced at the child slaves and said slowly: "I want each of you to remember that you are not my slaves, but my brothers, brothers who will never leave me!" I am not your master, I am your brother, a brother with whom you live and die! ”

Zhang Bao'er's words made the child slaves' chests rise and fall sharply.

"I'm not going to hide it from you, there are a lot of people who want to kill me right now! But I am not afraid, from now on, this life of mine will be entrusted to you. If nothing else, just because I know you can protect me, because you are my brothers! ”

Several of the child slaves already had tears in their eyes.

"Similarly, as long as I, Zhang Bao'er, still have a breath, I will also protect you, so that you will not be looked down upon by others, and you will not be bullied by others. If nothing else, because I am the only one in this world who will protect you, because I am your brother! ”

The child slaves wept.

"I know, you don't have your own name, from today onwards, you and I will be called Zhang Da and Zhang Er according to their age...... All the way to Zhang Twenty-three! Twenty-three of you, you will all be my brothers for the rest of my life! ”

The child slaves couldn't cry anymore, they all knelt down in front of Zhang Bao'er, and Zhang Bao'er knelt in front of them without hesitation.

This scene made Wei Xianyun on the side sigh: Zhang Baoer's heartfelt words were enough for these children to swear to serve him for the rest of their lives.

Leaving the child slaves, Wei Xianyun couldn't help but laugh as he walked.

"Sir, you laugh at me for being too pretentious!" Zhang Bao'er asked a little embarrassed.

"Quite the opposite!" Wei Xianyun shook his head and said: "These words, just from your mouth, will have such an effect, if you change someone else, it will really be a bit of a show!" ”

Zhang Baoer was silent.

"To tell you the truth, Bao'er, you have changed so much from when you first came to Chang'an!" Wei Xianyun couldn't help but sigh.

"If I were still Zhang Bao'er who had just come to Chang'an, I would have died several times!" Zhang Baoer joked with a smile.

"Huh?" Zhang Bao'er caught a glimpse of a person in front of her, standing quietly in place, motionless.

Zhang Bao'er glanced at Wei Xianyun: "Isn't this Li Yide?" Let's go, let's see! ”

"Lao Li!" When he got closer, Zhang Baoer shouted softly.

Li Yide is actually not very old, not yet thirty years old. In order to show respect for him, Zhang Baoer called him Lao Li.

"Master!" Li Yide was so engrossed that he came back to his senses when he heard the shouting, and found that Zhang Baoer was standing behind him.

"Lao Li, do you have something on your mind?" Zhang Bao'er asked tentatively.

"Nope!" Li Yide shook his head and said.

Zhang Bao'er thought that Li Yide had any concerns, and smiled and said with relief: "Say it!" If there's anything difficult, I'll help you solve it! ”

"The hosts! Not really! Li Yide's words were very sincere: "Counting you, I have already changed eleven masters!" You're the best! I'm happy here, nothing on my mind! ”

"So what were you doing? Aren't you thinking about something? Zhang Baoer thought it was strange.

Only then did Li Yide understand why Zhang Bao'er asked him so much before, and he hurriedly explained: "Master, you misunderstood! I was practicing archery just now! ”

"Practice archery?" Zhang Bao'er was even more strange: "But you don't have a bow and arrow in your hand, how do you practice?" ”

"That's a long way to talk!" Li Yide said with a wry smile.

"Can you tell me?" Zhang Baoer was very interested.

"As long as the master is willing to listen, of course you can!" Li Yide is also refreshing.

……

It turned out that Li Yide's fathers and aunts were all lowly slaves, and Li Yide had been a slave since he was a child.

Li Yide's earliest master was a military general of the Tang Dynasty, who was stationed outside the Saiwai all the year round, and later became idle at home when he was older. Because the master is a family of military generals, when Li Yide was ten years old, he was ordered by the master to accompany the master's little son to practice archery every day.

The master told Li Yide that if he couldn't accompany the little boy to practice superb archery, his whole family would be sold.

For children, archery is a very hard thing, but Li Yide does not dare to be lazy at all, if their whole family is sold, it means that they will be separated from each other from now on.

In the third year when Li Yide accompanied the little boy to practice archery, his aunt was ruthlessly sold by the master.

Soon, there was bad news that Li Yide's aunt couldn't bear the humiliation of the new owner and committed suicide by throwing herself into the well.

This year, Li Yide was only twelve years old.

At this time, Li Yide felt extremely guilty, and he thought that A-Niang's misfortune was caused by his lack of hard enough practice in archery.

Since then, Li Yide has begun to practice archery with all his might, even if Gongzi is resting on the side, he will not let go of every bit of time.

In this way, after another two years, Li Yide's archery skills became higher and higher, although he couldn't hit a hundred shots, but he could also shoot nine times out of ten. This is already a rare thing for a fourteen-year-old child, and even the owner is impressed with him.

The master who taught the little boy archery was once a subordinate of the master, named Eke.

The Uk were Turkic, and their master once captured all the tribesmen, including the Uk, during an attack on the Turkic tribes. Eke archery is very high. The master stayed with him. Later, when the master was free, Eke followed the master as a house slave.

On the orders of the master, Eke is also conscientious to the little son, but he admires Li Yide even more, in Eke's opinion, Li Yide has the talent to be a sharpshooter.
