On the endless grassland.

Qi Jingxing sat on the hillside, looking at the cattle and sheep under his feet, and his brows couldn't help frowning.

His memory had not yet recovered, but occasionally some familiar images flashed through his mind, which made him realize that he was not from the grassland, but had just been here.

The family that adopted him wanted him to join him, but he refused. Now, he hasn't eaten much for a few days, and he can only get some food by constantly helping them work, herding sheep, and looking for wild vegetables, and now in order to avoid quarrels, he can only run out to herd sheep as much as possible, and by the way, he can see if he can find the direction to leave the grassland.

He probably understood that his hometown should be in the south, and now that the direction was almost found, and the injuries he had suffered before were almost the same, he had to steal some food and a horse in the past few days, and then flee to the south.

In this way, you can always find your way back.

When the sun went down, he went back to his tent.

The girl was still very happy to see him return, and hurried over, and secretly took out a few pieces of dried mutton from her sleeve, and motioned for him to eat them quickly.

Although this girl is always angry and frustrated with the man in front of her, she still likes him very much.

As for her parents, it wasn't so good.

Then the girl's father came out of the tent, a very strong man, not tall, but the muscles and the scars on his body showed that the man was a good warrior in the village.

Qi Jingxing hid the dried mutton with his hands and feet, and the man glanced at him, mumbled, and motioned for him to enter the tent.

As soon as I entered the tent, the smell of mutton rushed into my nostrils.

Qi Jingxing's stomach couldn't help but growl.

I haven't eaten much for a few days, and I suddenly smell the food, of course, I can't stand it.

At this time, the girl's mother handed him a knife and a bowl of meat, which obviously meant that he should eat.

Qi Jingxing was not polite, he took the tableware directly, and began to eat it in a big gulp, since the family is so kind, it seems that the escape plan can be implemented tonight.

Just thinking about it, he suddenly felt his brain dizzy, his eyes were dark, and after two swayings, he fainted directly.

The man outside the tent heard the sound and hurriedly walked in, and the girl also followed, as soon as she saw this situation, she hurriedly stepped forward to check on Qi Jingxing's situation, and then looked at her parents in confusion.

But her parents only said a few words coldly, and didn't say much, they directly took a rope to tie Qi Jingxing up, then dragged him outside, put him on the horse, and then got on the horse and took Qi Jingxing all the way out of the camp.

When I woke up again, there was a foul smell around me, and there seemed to be a lot of people talking in my ears, and there were vertical strips of wood in front of me.

Qi Jingxing was stunned for a while, only to find that he was actually locked in a cage, and there were many people around him who were locked in cages like him, and there were many people outside who were picking on themselves.

He tried to break free, but his hands and feet were already tied, and he couldn't break free at all.

Looking at the people outside, most of them are from the grassland, only a few, he seems to be closer.

More and more people around him were picked and sold, but Qi Jingxing has not been bought, maybe he looks thin and white, those people basically looked at him and didn't want it.

At this moment, a little girl came over and noticed Qi Jingxing at a glance.

"He, I want him!"

The girl pointed directly at Qi Jingxing, and said very willfully: "I like him, buy him for me, I want him to be my slave."

The girl looks very cute and cute, but Qi Jingxing hates her very much.

Because, the girl didn't treat him as a person, but just treated him as a plaything, and the kind of eyes that looked at pets and playthings made people subconsciously disgusted.

At this time, Shen Youqiu finally arrived at a small city in the north.

It's very close to the border, but it's a phase

As for the safety, there are also some Huns, but basically they are all merchants who come to do business, and everyone gets along here very peacefully.

She and Feng Yiyi traveled for three or four days before they arrived in the city.

Because the two sides had just finished fighting, the town at this time was not very lively, and the Huns were not much, but the goods they brought, beef and mutton, skins, and some unique herbs and ornaments of the grassland were still very popular.

But Shen Youqiu didn't have time to pay attention to these, she quickly found an inn, ate a hot meal, and then rested early.

In the past few days, she has come on horseback, basically day and night, even if she can hold on, Feng Yi is afraid that she will not be able to hold on, and now it is just the beginning, and then I have to find Qi Jingxing, I don't know how long it will take, I have to ensure that there are no problems with my body.

Early the next morning, the two went downstairs to have breakfast, and then went out to look for Qi Jingxing.

For two whole days, the two walked around the streets and alleys, but they didn't find Qi Jingxing at all, but Shen Youqiu didn't say much, and in the afternoon of the same day, they rode towards another town.

In this way, after going around and around in various towns, villages, and wilderness in the north for nearly a month, the two of them did not find Qi Jingxing at all.

In the middle of the night, Shen Youqiu sat on the haystack, absentmindedly roasting rabbit meat, and couldn't help but look gloomy.

She knew that the chance of finding Qi Jingxing was very slim, after all, the people in the imperial court had actually been looking for him, but the surrounding places had basically been searched, and he still hadn't appeared.

Could it be that he really stayed somewhere in the steppe?

She felt a faint pain in her heart, and she seemed to remember the words that Qi Jingxing said when she left last year.

"Wait until I get back."

"You told me to wait for you to come back, but where are you now?"

She tilted her head, and the corners of her eyes were a little sparkling in the moonlight.

At that moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps approaching this direction.

Shen Youqiu looked at the past vigilantly, along the way, she and Feng Yike met a lot of "not very friendly strangers", compared to the vicinity of the capital, there are too many bandits in this border area,

However, all of these bandits died at the hands of the two of them.

So along the way, the entanglement between the two has not only not decreased, but has increased.

In the distance, several figures appeared.

"It smells so good!"

There was a voice over there, and it sounded like a girl's.

Soon, Shen Youqiu saw the person clearly, a beautiful girl in red, two young people who followed behind her, who looked like her guards, looking at their posture and dress, they should all know martial arts.
