Chapter 334: A Little Beggar of Unknown Origin
The atmosphere outside Tucheng was heavy, as if there was a breath of death, which reminded Liu Yu that when he was in Guanzhong for disaster relief, refugees from all over the country were also in this situation, and even more energetic than these people, at least in Guanzhong, there was a disaster relief porridge shop, and now people outside Tucheng are basically waiting for death.
Liu Yu seemed to have an unintentional intention and asked, "In the city, is there a food seller?" ”
The little beggar snorted coldly: "Nonsense, of course there will be food sellers in the city, will you go to the city?" ”
The little beggar didn't look at Liu Yu either, Liu Yu took out a piece of bacon from his arms that was only the size of a palm, held it in his hand, cut off a piece with a knife, took a bite and chewed it, and said, "It's still meaty." ”
The little beggar also smelled the aroma of meat, and turned his head sideways to look at Liu Yu in surprise. You must know that such a piece of meat can make people live for several more days, and maybe they can find a way out. The little beggar stuck out her tongue and added her lower lip, obviously she was tempted by the food in Liu Yu's hand.
Liu Yu ignored the greedy desire of the little beggar, while eating, he also took out a kind of wild grass on the grassland from his arms, and ate it, this kind of wild grass is also one of the few grasses that Liu Yu found that can be eaten, similar to spicy vegetables, there is no bitter taste and strong grass juice smell, and it is very delicious to eat with bacon.
"Want to eat?" Liu Yu looked at the little beggar with a smile.
The little beggar nodded and said, "How much, are you willing to sell it?" ”
Liu Yu smiled disdainfully: "Do you still have money?" ”
The little beggar took out her little money bag again, and there were only some loose copper plates left in it, "Are these enough?" ”
Liu Yu shook his head with a smile and pointed to the scimitar on the little beggar's waist: "Take that in exchange!" ”
The little beggar's face immediately turned gloomy, and he sneered: "Jackal! After speaking, he ignored Liu Yu.
Liu Yu continued to eat the food there. While eating, he exclaimed, "It's so delicious." It's a pity that I'm full. Eat it next time. ”
The little beggar said coldly: "That kind of grass is Tuli grass, only found on the river side of the Khan River in the north, it is very rare, and the grassland people use it to treat their injuries, but you use it to eat, it is really ...... Tyrannical creatures. ”
Liu Yu admired the little beggar's knowledge, and he did find this kind of grass by the river, which was delicious. I just looked for more. Listening to the voice of the little beggar, the accent of the Central Plains is the same, but she knows so much about things on the grassland, then it is very likely that she often travels between these two places, that is, the daughter of Shangjia, but I can't understand why she is here.
Liu Yu put the remaining piece of meat in his arms, deliberately exposed one side of the meat outside his clothes, leaned against the earthen wall and pretended to be asleep, in fact, he was secretly observing the little beggar's reaction. The little beggar originally came to see him and didn't pay attention to it, but peeked at Liu Yu. saw the bacon on his chest, and then saw Liu Yu close his eyes and fall asleep. I couldn't help but think about stealing in my heart.
But she seemed to be very hesitant, as if she didn't bother to steal, but in the end, reason was still no match for greed, she quietly reached over and pulled the meat out of Liu Yu's arms little by little, and then saw that Liu Yu still didn't react, and then quickly took the meat in her hand, leaned down and nibbled on it.
Liu Yu couldn't help but smile, it's quite interesting, it should be a girl with a very good family education, maybe she came here to escape the war, carrying a treasure knife, but she doesn't know how to use it.
"Eat slowly, don't choke!"
Liu Yu reminded and handed the water bag forward.
When the little beggar heard Liu Yu's voice, her body trembled, and she hurriedly shrank up and continued to gnaw, knowing that Liu Yue deliberately let her steal it, and she was no longer afraid that Liu Yu would come and rob her. After eating, he smiled brightly and said, "Xie Luxie!" Then he took the water bag handed over by Liu Yu, just took a sip, but spit it all out.
"This bag is full of wine!" The little beggar returned the water bag.
Liu Yu frowned, if he wanted to say that this water bag contained wine, it was many days ago, he tasted it himself, and he couldn't taste the wine at all, how did this little beggar taste it?
"What's wrong with the wine, now it's water, and it's not poisonous, can't you drink it?" Liu Yu said and drank two sips.
"Anyway, I won't drink it if it smells of alcohol, so you can drink it yourself. Thank you for your meat, but I don't think I have a chance to pay it back! ”
Liu Yu didn't rush to say his purpose, and continued to rest on the earthen wall, and the little beggar sat next to him, but with Liu Yu giving her meat, her vigilance against Liu Yu was significantly reduced. However, the two kept their distance from each other.
Suddenly, there was a heavy sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and the little beggar, who was already drowsy, was suddenly startled when he heard the sound, as if he had been greatly frightened. Liu Yue glanced at her curiously, the little beggar at this time was like a falcon, looking at the cavalry coming from a distance with a sharp gaze, and when she found the clothes on their bodies, she breathed a sigh of relief, as if she was hiding from someone.
Those were just remnants of the defeated soldiers who had retreated from the front line, and people had already come out of the city to greet them, and the two sides had a chat, and Liu Yu couldn't understand it, and then these people entered Tucheng.
"Who are those people, and why are they allowed to go in?" Liu Yu asked the little beggar.
The little beggar said angrily: "Those are the people of Xitiele, of course they can enter their own city of the Tiele people." ”
Liu Yu was shocked, Tie Le? The name is very familiar, it should be a minority in the northern steppe, after the Turks became strong, they have lost their status as the overlord of the steppe, several of them are still active in the steppe, but they have all reached the remote places in the west, very close to the Western Regions. That is to say, this is already very close to the Western Regions.
Liu Yu was a little comforted, although it was not the border of the Shun Dynasty, but it was out of the range of the Turks, and it was safe for him. When you arrive in the Western Regions, follow the caravan back to the Central Plains, and you can see your long-lost family.
"Can you understand what they just said?" Liu Yu asked.
"They say that the Shun army went mad and swept through the steppes, and the Turks began to rob them, and they had to retreat in defeat, hoping to get shelter in the city. Then the guards in the city agreed. ”
"They don't speak Turkic, do you?"
"I'm originally a Tiele person, why can't I say anything?" The little beggar turned his head to look at Liu Yudao.
"You're a Tieler?" Liu Yu smiled, his expression showing that he didn't believe it, "Then why don't those people let you into the city?" ”
"Because they didn't believe it, they said that the Tiele people should understand the rules of Tiele, and let me memorize it. I couldn't recite it, so they said I was a Turk pretending, and I said that I was a Turk, and they said that the Turks were not allowed to enter. So I asked you to dress up and make up as a Han person, but they still didn't let me in. It's infuriating! ”
Liu Yuxin said that this little beggar was quite slippery, so he asked, "Who are you?" ”
The little beggar looked at Liu Yu cautiously, and snorted coldly: "Hmph! Does it matter who I am? ”
Liu Yu made a fuss, and said that her vigilance was quite strong. Instead, he asked, "Can you tell me why you entered this city?" ”
The little beggar looked in the direction of the city gate and said with longing: "Because this city is connected to the country of Qiuci, I want to go to the country of Qiuci!" (To be continued......)
