The continuous rush made Liu Yu's body almost overdrawn to the limit.

For more than 20 days, sleeping in the open and eating weeds not only failed to keep up with nutrition, but also brought a lot of sequelae. Prostration and constipation, he felt that his face should be as green as the grass, and now he was sick to his stomach when he thought about the smell of drafting, and only when his mind was dizzy and he couldn't walk, he would stop and find something to eat.

Encountering the Gobi Desert was another blow to him.

If he can't go south to the Central Plains, then he will have to go northwest, which will be farther and farther away from his hometown, which also means that he will have to walk more to return home. After walking for more than 20 days, he was already a little depressed, and he really didn't know when he would be a head if he went on like this. He had to sit down and rest more and more every day, and he really didn't have the strength to travel for a long time.

On the twenty-third day, after Liu Yu walked northwest for two days, finally there was more water again, and the Gobi Desert seemed to be far away. Liu Yu still didn't dare to slack off, if the same thing happened in front of him, he could only go back the same way, and walking on the Gobi Desert would definitely be self-defeating. At noon that day, he was resting under a mound when he suddenly heard the cries of cattle and sheep.

Although he slept hazy, he immediately jumped up from the ground, and he felt not a breath of life, but danger. This is the territory of the steppe people.

The two yurts, which had not yet appeared before going to bed, were already towering more than a mile away at this time, not near or far. Liu Yu looked at the sky first, and when the sun was past noon, he quickly picked up the binoculars and looked at the yurt, except for some livestock around, there was no human figure. Liu Yu looked at it carefully for a while, but still didn't notice the existence of people.

"This is a gift from God?"

Liu Yu had a little miserable smile on his face, and he knew that this was whimsical. These yurts and livestock must have been grazed. I just don't know where people have gone. Liu Yu didn't want to miss such a good opportunity. Let him eat grass for a few more days, and he will have to die. Even if he had to fight against the mighty Turkic man, he had to try a chance to be reincarnated.

Liu Yu touched a stone the size of a brick and went down the hill, bypassing a low bush, cautiously approaching the yurt, observing the surrounding situation as he went, and after making sure that there was no one, he realized. The person is most likely in a yurt. Two yurts, this should be a family, men, women and children should live in one yurt, the other should be stacked with sundries, there is a kitchen? Liu Yue obviously took it for granted, and for the sake of safety, he decided to investigate the situation in the yurt first.

After going around to the first yurt, Liu Yu opened the curtain a little and listened attentively, but there was no sound at all. And then to the second. There was still no sound, and even if you were asleep, you couldn't be so silent. Liu Yu had an unprecedented sense of happiness in his heart. As soon as he slipped around, he had already slipped into the second yurt.

From the first glance he saw when he came in, Liu Yu first looked for a living object. Yes, but it was a child, still in swaddling clothes, wrapped in a stall made of sheepskin, as if asleep. Liu Yue took a long breath and hurriedly looked for something useful for himself, he swept the water bag hanging on the wall at a glance, and after opening it, a milky smell mixed with the aroma of wine came to his nose.

Liu Yu grinned in surprise, I don't know if it's goat's milk or mare's milk mixed with wine, it doesn't matter, this thing can not only quench your thirst, but also drink a few sips at night to keep out the cold, even if you drink it, the water bag can also hold water, no longer have to worry about the water source. It's really a good thing that never changes. Liu Yue knew that there was not much time to do, so he hurriedly looked for it again, and found a few large pieces of bacon under a covered cloth in the yurt, Liu Yue immediately took a bite, which was tender and delicious, and the first bite of meat was almost swallowed by him raw.

With wine and meat, Liu Yue didn't dare to ask for anything else. He knew that this was the territory of the Turks, and greed would do bad things, so it was the right way to run away as soon as possible before the master returned. Just as he was about to leave the tent, he suddenly heard a horse bark, Liu Yu sighed in his heart, he didn't see the horse before he came in. That means the master is back.

Without warning, the door curtain was suddenly opened, Liu Yu didn't expect the master to come back so quickly, at this time he was holding the bacon in one hand and the wine bag in the other, and he didn't even know where the stone was thrown by him. Without saying a word, Liu Yu hit his head in the direction of the person who came from the door curtain, and the host obviously did not expect that there would be thieves in his house, and when the door curtain was about to open, Liu Yu's head had already hit the chest of the person who came, knocking him to the ground, and the bacon on Liu Yu's hand was loosened, and his hand was already pinched on the neck of the visitor.

The figure of the person who came was not tall, Liu Yu first looked up and saw that he was not an accomplice, and then he looked at it, just a woman on the grassland, a little fat, but a very strong woman, in her thirties, and there were some clothes in the basket scattered on the side, probably just washed. The woman was suddenly attacked by a thief, and hurriedly touched the saber at her waist, Liu Yu pressed his hand, like a fierce tiger, exerted all his strength, snatched her scimitar without a scabbard, and plunged a knife into the woman's chest.

From the beginning of the woman's struggle, to gradually lose her breath, Liu Yu probed the woman's pulse, which had stopped, and then she got up from the woman in shock, and her whole body was trembling involuntarily. It wasn't until he stood up that he realized that the woman had a round belly, apparently a pregnant mother who was about to give birth.

Liu Yue tried his best to throw away all the things in his mind, and he didn't care about the corpse, he went to the house and picked up the bacon and wine bag, at this time the children in the house seemed to feel the strange situation of their mother and unborn siblings, and kept crying, this cry made Liu Yue feel upset, Liu Yue hurriedly found two clothes from the side to put on himself, he thought very clearly, this kind of Turkic camp can not be approached in the future, he must prepare all the things he needs at once. After the clothes were put on his body, he hurried out, thought about pulling out the knife from the woman's body, and hurriedly rubbed it on the grass a few times, rubbing most of the blood from the knife.

Looking up, the horse that the woman had just ridden not far away had just tied the reins to a wooden post stuck in the ground.

If it is a war horse, it will definitely be frightened and lose its temper when it encounters a living person, but Liu Yue looked at it, it is an ordinary stallion that has not been castrated, that is to say, it is not a war horse, Liu Yu has also learned some tricks of horse taming, and lure it with some food, the horse is very obedient, so Liu Yue jumped on the horse in a panic, and drove the horse to the west quickly for thirty or forty miles, only then stopped, lying in a depression, the whole heart was still beating uncompetitively.

This is the first time Liu Yu has killed someone with his own hands, and the one he killed was a mother, an unarmed woman. Liu Yu felt guilty from the bottom of his heart, as if he had smeared a stain on someone's life. But soon, that guilt faded.

Bare-handed?

Liu Yu smiled bitterly, in the situation just now, either she died or I died! If the woman had just gotten the knife, would he have mercy on the thief? One is a Turkic, the other is a Central Plains who invaded their homeland, the two are originally enemies and friends, Liu Yuxin said that he commanded thousands of troops and killed thousands of people, what does it matter if he kills one more?

Psychological comfort still can't eliminate the guilt after all, but Liu Yue thinks about the suffering he has suffered these days, and then thinks about the vitality that these things may bring to him, so he can only put down his guilt for the time being, and said that if he dies on the grassland, he can only become a lonely ghost.

It's all about survival.

Liu Yu immediately thought, will the woman's man come to chase after him? Could it be just a left-behind woman who went on a campaign against a man abroad? An evil greedy desire has returned, and if that's the case, then why not go back and try it, this time with a weapon, and then find something of value to come back?

But he still dispelled this idea, he knew that many Turkic people lived in groups, weighing the danger, now that there are horses, there is no need to travel on foot, there is meat and water bags, plus some weeds to save some food, how can you last for half a month. Half a month is enough to ride a horse to get out of this vast steppe, why take the risk to fight the Turks?

Thinking about this matter clearly, Liu Yu jumped on the horse again, he was still afraid that the woman's family or clansmen would find traces of his escape and come to take revenge, and it was not until night that he found a secret place to sleep. Because of the woolen blanket and sabre, the cold at night, and the weapon to defend against the enemy, Liu Yu also felt solid when he fell asleep.

When the moon reached mid-heaven, Liu Yu woke up, and then thought of the woman's death, and no matter how much he slept, he couldn't sleep.

Liu Yu had no choice but to get up and hurry, after all, he was used to walking at night.

It was not a march, the horses were not trained war horses, Liu Yu was not fast along the way, and after walking for seven or eight days, he got rid of the fear of fleeing for his life in his heart, and he knew that no one could track him down anymore.

This way to the west, Liu Yu didn't know how far the road had gone, calculated and walked thousands of miles, and then walked a little south, but did not find the Gobi Desert and the grassland, then he turned the road to the south. At the same time, I also prayed that I would not leave the border of the Shun Dynasty, go to Mobei, and enter the border of indigenous people such as Dashi.

Further south, there was still no one occupied, and Liu Yue stopped and stopped, and finally saw the shadow of the town before the food was finished. It's just that this town is not at all like the northern border pass of the Dashun Dynasty as Liu Yu imagined, but one by one dirt bags, just like an earthen kiln built from the Gobi Desert, not the style of Central Plains architecture.

"My God, you're not going to be a native after I'm done wandering, are you?" After the initial excitement of finally seeing the human race for a long time, Liu Yu immediately thought of this question.

Liu Yu looked at the clothes on his body, they were dirty and had never been washed, but he was wearing a sheepskin jacket outside, still without sleeves, like a shoulder, and inside he was wearing a Central Plains gown, which was still a Confucian shirt.

It's really a combination of north and south, nondescript, not like Turkic people or Han people.

In foreign lands, race is very important, usually there are people of all kinds on the border, and in order to survive, they will consciously form a camp and help each other with each other. He knew that if he entered the town like this, he would definitely be slaughtered as a monster. (To be continued......)
