Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Death of Shaohua
The book continued from the above, and the last book said that Li Tianxin and the three of them won the first battle, and Hongying used flexible and strong Red family marksmanship to beat the Mongolian warrior Batu. It is also because of this battle that Tianxin and Wei Jinhong have a new understanding of this grinning girl. The famous son of the Han Dynasty, the eldest lady of the Changning Hong family, her martial arts are definitely not casually talked. On this side of the ring, Buri Gude, the son of the Mongolian Hana Khan, was shocked when he saw the wolf tooth pendant dropped by Hongying. He didn't expect that he and the girl he remembered would meet in such an identity in such a scene. So it was brought out that Shaohua did not stay for the young man, and he would take a long time to rest.
Burigud looked at Hongying and put the wolf tooth pendant back on his neck. With mixed feelings in his heart, he didn't expect that the girl he had been looking for was actually a Han person, and she was also a member of the Changning Hong family, which made him embarrassed.
At the beginning, his father Khan had not yet become the head of the various tribes of the Mongolian tribe, and the various tribes did not want to give in to each other, and often because of some small frictions, it developed into a battle with major damage. Their Chaha tribe and Moso tribe were two big families with equal power on the grassland at that time. In order to compete for spring pastures in the Hexi Corridor, the two sides often fought fiercely. His father, Khan, was kind and generous, and did not want the Mongols to kill each other, so he took the entire Chaha tribe and some other tribes who were willing to follow him to move his family south, and settled in Tongjiang Pass, near the border with the Han Dynasty. The land here is fertile, rich in water and grass, and has not been invaded by war. Gradually, they adapted to this kind of life of peace with the Han people, and often used hunting game and picking mountain delicacies to exchange some daily necessities and food snacks with the Han people in Tongjiang City.
From spring to winter, the Mongolian people living in the Tongjiangguan area do not worry about food and clothing, and live and work in peace and contentment. But the Moso tribe who remained in the Hexi Corridor, and some of his surrounding tribes, had a better time. Due to the sudden change in the weather, the northern part of the grassland has been snowed continuously and is unusually cold. Most of the originally fat livestock froze to death. The grain accumulated in the spring is almost eaten, and some small tribes have already starved to death. All of a sudden, what was once a rich pasture became a purgatory on earth.
At that time, the leader of the Moso tribe, Quinta, was very distressed, but he was powerless to change the situation. Just when he was at his wit's end, a mysterious visitor brought him hope, and this person was none other than Břigud's uncle Sanchi. Quinta learns that Hana's people live a life of food and clothing, and they also want to get a piece of the pie. Sanchi was so embarrassed that he told Kunta that Hana had colluded with the Han Chinese in an attempt to unify the desert and eliminate other tribal forces. If he rushes to defect at this time, it will be tantamount to a sheep falling into the mouth of a tiger.
Quinta was shocked and sad. With his current strength, if he goes head-to-head with the Chaha tribe, who are well-fed and well-fed, I am afraid that in the end, the whole army will be wiped out, and there will not be even bones left to lose.
Seeing his concerns, Sanji proposed to Quinta that Hana's eight-year-old son, Burigud, be captured and taken hostage to force Hana to hand over the food supplies. And he is willing to be Kunta's internal response and help him get the hands on Burigud. However, he has one condition, that is, after he succeeds, Quinta will help him become the leader of the new generation of the Chaha tribe. Soon the two guys come to an agreement, and a conspiracy is about to begin.
Under the moonlight, two shadows ran wildly on the silver desert Gobi, and not far behind them, a Mongolian cavalry was in hot pursuit.
"Run! In front of it is the Zhaowuda Grottoes, where you can hide. The girl in blue, who was running in front of Burigud, pointed ahead and shouted loudly in fluent Mongolian.
"I, I can't run..." Buzhigude ran out of breath, he was used to being pampered, where had he been so wronged. In terms of horsemanship, he was not afraid, although he was only eight years old, but as a nation born on horseback, he had been used to following his father Khan in the desert since he was a child. But now that he has to run on two legs, he has really reached the limit with the strength of breastfeeding. He didn't care about the pursuers behind him, and sat on the thin yellow sand. “... Leave me alone, I... I'm not going to be... The goshawk in the desert can't fly..."
"Just like you, you still call yourself a goshawk in the desert, I think it's a fly in the desert. Hurry up, it's almost there! The girl in blue reached out and grabbed Burigud by the sleeve, pulled him up, and continued to run forward.
Burigud looked at the girl in front of him, obviously a head shorter than him, but like a calendula anchovia at the foot of the Ike Snow Mountain, not afraid of the cold, with admirable resilience.
However, how could their legs outrun the four-legged cattle, they were still caught up by the Mongolian cavalry behind. In the next second, they were surrounded by a group of people, which was extremely dangerous.
"Hahaha, you two little dolls still want to run to the edge of the sky?" The Mongolian cavalry led by the Mongolian cavalry was armed with a scimitar and rode a tall horse.
"You are from the Moso tribe, why are you chasing us?" Burigud recognized the family crest on the clothes of the Nameng people, and the black wolf head was their emblem.
"We are just acting on orders, stop resisting, and we will die a little more happily and less flesh and skin."
"This matter has nothing to do with her, I hope you will let her go for the sake of the face of the grassland guardian Ingi Samu." After all, Burigud was an eight-year-old child, and he was a little discouraged when he saw that there was no turning back. Maybe now you can only die proudly, so as not to disgrace your father Khan and the entire tribe. "Please use the desert method to let me die with dignity."
As soon as these words came out, the girl in blue and the cavalry on horseback all looked at the eight-year-old child in front of them with admiration. The cavalry of the Moso tribe dismounted, and one of them, holding a scimitar in both hands, recited the Mongolian scriptures in his mouth.
In the moonlight, the cold wind was blowing. This scimitar in the dark night seems to echo the crescent moon in the sky, exuding the light of the night. Břigud knelt on the ground, facing in the direction of his hometown. The girl in red stood behind these people, as if a bystander, and they seemed to have forgotten her presence. Maybe they really thought that she was just an ordinary ten-year-old girl, or maybe it was because of Břiggood's words that moved them. However, she has never been a good stubble, and since God has given her this opportunity, she accepts it with peace of mind.
The girl in blue cautiously stepped back, waited for a retreat next to a white Mongolian horse, and jumped up. With an exclamation from the horses, the people of the Burigud and Moso tribes hurriedly turned back. I saw the girl in blue riding on horseback, rushing towards them frantically, and between the lightning and flint, the girl stretched out her hand to Burigud, and in just an instant, Burigud sat on the back of the horse neatly. The girl's legs tightened her grip on the horse's belly, and the horse, like madness, rushed out of the encirclement and rode away.
"Get on the horse, chase!"
Running wildly all the way, Burigude and the girl in blue fled into the Zhaowuda Grottoes after several twists and turns. With its never-decaying poplar forests, mirror-smooth Sansheng Lake, and large and small grottoes, it's a great place to hide.
"They seem to have gone far." Břigud leaned against the stone wall and gasped for air.
"Wait." The girl in blue was also a little tired, but she still did not let her guard down.
"My name is Burigud, what's your name, why did you save me?" Břigud turned his head to look at the girl in blue hidden at the entrance of the cave. The faint moonlight hit her face, flickering and dimming. It was only after running so far that he noticed her looks. She has no characteristics in her appearance, but the perseverance and alertness in her eyes make her different from ordinary girls, she must be a person with a story.
The girl in blue answered the question. "Your father Khan may be in danger, and I advise you to return to your tribe as soon as possible after you get out."
"But I'm not familiar with the environment here, and now I don't have horses, what should I do?" When he heard that his father Khan was in danger, he could not sit still.
"For the sake of your heroic performance just now, I will accompany you back." The woman in blue shook her head helplessly, she didn't want to meddle in things. Anyway, save people to the end, send the Buddha to the west, this time I will give up my life to accompany the gentleman.
The two climbed all the way through the Zhaowuda Grottoes and bypassed the shore of Sansheng Lake, and the woman in blue stood on a stone and pointed to the poplar forest in front of her. "Walking out of the poplar forest in front, we will soon see the gate of Tongjiang Pass."
"Great!" Burigud also came to the spirit. "Let's go, we're finally home."
They walked for a while, after all, they were two children, and fatigue gradually hit. Eventually, they decided to take a break from a poplar tree.
"Ahh Burigud sneezed, knowing that people would freeze to death on a desert night. Fortunately, his mother sewed him a winter coat with a double-sided bear skin, plus the fox skin cloak behind him, so that he would not freeze. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at the girl in blue sitting next to him, she was far less warm than what he was wearing, and if she looked closely, she was trembling slightly. Burigud's brow furrowed slightly, and he flicked his cloak, wrapping both of them in it. The girl in blue was startled at first, and then accepted Burigud's kindness.
"You really don't want to tell me, your name?" Buzhigud still does not give up, the people of their Chaha tribe are definitely not ungrateful rats. He is so persistent, on the one hand, he wants to repay her, and on the other hand, he wants to know who this girl who ran away with him is.
"I don't have a name, they all call me Chixue."
"Red snow, red snow?"
"Who knows." Chixue didn't care what they called her, anyway, who cared if someone like her was dead or alive. "You don't need to know too much, we just met in the water."
"Chixue, thank you for risking your life to save me, I don't have anything of value on me at the moment, if you don't dislike it, I'll give you this wolf tooth pendant." Burigud put the wolf's tooth pendant around his neck, which was worn with a leather rope, on the front of Chixue's neck. "This is a memento left behind by my father Khan, when he was young, when he hunted a white lone wolf in Chuck Mountain. I've been wearing it since I was born... Leave a memory. ”
"They won't allow me to take something like this." Chi Xue's hand gently touched this warm wolf tooth.
"Are they your relatives?"
"I have no relatives, I'm an orphan."
"Then do you want to follow me?" Burigud's face flushed. "I mean come to our tribe, and the people there are very hospitable."
"Not good!" Chixue stood up suddenly, startling Burigude, who thought he had said the wrong thing and annoyed her. "It's a pack of wolves!"
Břigud raised his eyes and looked under the trees, a pair of dark blue eyes, staring at them deadly.
"I'll lead them away in a while, don't look back, run all the way in the direction of Tongjiang Pass!" Chixue looked at the wolves, as if she had made a decision.
"I'm not leaving, I'm going to stay and live and die with you!" Břigud also stood up.
"And what about your father Khan, and what about your tribe?" Out of nowhere, Chixue took out two daggers and protected him behind him. "Your whereabouts are unknown now, and if Quinta threatens your father Khan with you, how can you make such a hasty decision?"
"I..."
"Say no more, goodbye." Chixue didn't wait for Burigude to reply, jumped and ran in the opposite direction of Tongjiang Pass, and the wolves saw that the prey had fallen from the tree and chased after it closely.
Burigud looked at the blue figure, unable to calm down for a long time, but he knew that he had more important things to accomplish.
Eventually, he overcame many difficulties to join his people and put an end to the tricks of Kunta and Sanchi. The only pity is that Sanchi did not leave any evidence, so he had to leave it alone.
Burigud had searched for Chixue more than once, but Chixue never appeared in his life again, like a meteor that flashed away.
