216: West Walk

The grass Xiongnu grassland in September is like a dry yellow blanket, the sky is high and the clouds are light, and it is extraordinarily gorgeous

Suddenly there was a loud shout from the crowd, "Okay"

In the midst of the crowd, two warriors were wrestling, and at the tenth rendezvous, the man with a broad waist and legs, and a majestic look, was thrown out, and the man who remained on the ring raised his head, his hair shaved down, and only a bunch on the top of his head, showing a broad round face, thick eyebrows, slightly shrugged cheekbones, and a broad nose, a thick beard on the upper side, and only a handful of stiff whiskers under the collar

The girl in red rushed out of the crowd, "You are so powerful" Her Xiongnu language has the unique flavor of the eastern Xiongnu tribes, and she speaks quickly and well

"The second person is really a warrior," the young general Doge admired the bright face of the girl in red, leaned over to her, and said with a smile, "Juji, are you going to Qilian Mountain on this trip?" ”

The girl in red turned her head, and the "um" voice escaped from the tip of her nose, with a little hoarse flattery, which was extremely beautiful

A different light flashed in Duoge's eyes, "It just so happens that we are also going to Qilian Mountain, so it is better to go with us"

On the periphery of the crowd, a group of ox carts full of baggage gathered in one place to rest, a migrating Xiongnu tribe, starting from the end of the forest festival, the goal is the Qilian Mountains in the northwest

"Okay" The girl in red was overjoyed and hurriedly agreed, "My name is Harry"

"Good name"

Doge praised Ha Lili from the bottom of his heart, which means to smile in the Xiongnu language

The aristocratic girl who laughs like the winter sun, is said to be a noble girl from a small tribe of the eastern Zuogu Liwang Qu Plover, with bright eyes like an apricot kernel and a bright smile

"Tonight, our tribe has a bonfire, will you come to it?"

"Really?" Ha Qili was surprised inexplicably, and said with a smile, "With such a bustle, I naturally want to go"

In the night, Merlin sat in the shadow of the campfire, gulping down the mare's milk wine in his skin, looking around alertly, and in the middle of the field, the maiden danced merrily, and a sea of joy

The young Hun boys and women clamored around the guests, and Ha Qianli did not shirk and left the scene with great interest

The drums beat up,

The young Huns on the field originally gathered to dance in twos and threes, but slowly retreated and watched the dance of the girl in red in the center of the field

Ha Qianli's dancing posture is fluttering, her waist is soft like the wind swinging willows, smiling like a flower, between gestures, the action is charming and amorous, in the dazzling eyes of a young Hun man full of beautiful girls, flashed in the eyes of a stunning color, one after another, around Ha Qianli said and laughed, on the periphery of the field, the adult Hun old man pointed out kindly, with a smile on his face

In the bright bonfire, Harley tilted her head, beautiful and lively, and pointed to the Merlin Hun men sitting in the distance, and then looked over, and there was a look of disappointment on her face

Suddenly, someone shouted, "There's a Han man here."

The herdsmen who looked very simple just now suddenly became agitated, and gathered together in a crowd of Huns to watch, the Han man was lying on the ground, with a Hun scimitar in his chest, his breathing was almost slow, and his eyes were still wide, looking at the south, the direction of the Han family country

"Daddy," a young man in his twenties screamed sadly, rushed over, and the Hun youths around him who were wearing the most common clothes of Xiongnu herdsmen were startled, and then they made a noise, calling for the killing of this Han man who had mixed into the Huns

"Poof", a scimitar was inserted into the young man's body from behind, the young man groaned, his eyes wandered in the crowd for a while, and he saw Ha Qianli behind the crowd from a distance, so he insisted on standing up, stumbling, and the Hun youth on the road who walked in the direction of the girl exclaimed slightly, and let go of the young man until he fell seven or eight steps away from Ha Qianli, Shang stretched out his hand, and his eyes were wide open

As if stunned, the beautiful Hun girl was speechless for a while

With a "click", Dogge kicked the young man's body away, and after making sure that he was already dead, Fang stepped forward and offered his courtesy to Harri, "Don't be afraid, I will protect you"

"I'm not afraid," Ha Qili came back to her senses, as if she felt ashamed, but she said recklessly, "I'm not afraid, I'm just a little surprised for a while, why is he, a Han Chinese, appearing here?" ”

"I don't know what's going on recently," Dogge didn't care, "The Han people on the grassland suddenly increased, and before that, they were only in the pastures of Monan, Loufu, and Baiyang Erbu, but now, even Mobei has seen traces of Han people."

In recent months, a large number of Han people have infiltrated the grassland with the determination to die, but the Han people and the Huns have a national custom of estrangement, as if water beads splashed into the oil pot, incompatible, but fried everywhere, easy to be discovered by the Huns, like this teenager, ruthlessly disposed of

"There must be some conspiracy that sent so many people to the Huns," Dogge laughed

"Perhaps," Harry smiled reluctantly

The bonfire flickered on and off, masking Harri's face

All the smiles of the white sun were frozen, she suddenly felt very powerless, powerless as if she actually felt that the strength in her body was lost, if it wasn't for the firm belief in her heart, she would have to wonder if she still had the strength to stand up in the next moment

She looked left and right, and when she saw Merlin coming towards her, she opened her mouth to say something urgently

"Shh

Merlin held out a finger and pressed her lips weakly, "Don't say anything now"

"At a time when the danger is not completely over, we are not yet qualified to let our guard down and talk freely"

……

After walking for more than ten days, from Dongger Lake to the foot of Qilian Mountain, from the bottom of Qilian Mountain, Ha Qili's destination was Tai'anbu, but the tribe in the west of Qilian Mountain had to continue to go south

The stars in the sky hung under the wide starry sky, as if frozen, and Dogge plucked up his courage, "Ha Qianli, when you return to Xiongqu, will I marry you?" ”

The love of a teenager is hot and scorching with indomitable sincerity and simplicity

Harry looked back and said with a smile, "Dog, I don't want to break your heart"

"Why?" Dogge's heart couldn't help but fall, his heart was dazed, but he couldn't help but ask, "The women on the grassland all love King Zuogu Li, but King Zuogu Li won't marry every one."

Harry flashed her eyes and said, "I'll tell you, those people just now were just coaxing, so I just used King Guli as a shield Actually, I like Merlin in my heart, I can see that your mind is true, so I can't bear to lie to you."

"What?" Dogg couldn't help but glance back at Merlin, his eyes very surprised

Harry's eyes flashed with sincerity, "My Abba doesn't agree, but I just like him very, very much," the voice was stubborn, "Even if everyone in the world doesn't agree, I can't deceive my heart"

……

When the sun rises again in the east of the grassland, the herdsmen who have rested all night come out of their tents, and the sound of cattle and sheep embarks on a day's journey

Dogge sat on his horse and said goodbye to the girl in his heart, "Today, we must be separated" The voice sighed

"Children of the grassland, which one is afraid of the journey" Ha Qili raised her head, smiling, not full of sorrow, "Dogge, I hope that the next time I see you, you have found your true love"

With the rising sun behind him, he ran for a long time on the golden grassland with morning frost, and finally stopped before he ran out of strength, covered his face, and sobbed softly

Meng Guan had been silently following behind her, and it was only at this time that he stepped forward and asked softly, "Are you okay?" ”

The woman's body trembled slightly, and tears poured down her fingers

Meng Guan comforted awkwardly, "Okay, don't cry"

Zhang Yan wowed, tears fell violently, "He died in front of me like that, and before he died, he stretched out his hand and wanted to ask me for help," the girl said incoherently excitedly, "I can't save him, I even, I have to keep smiling, I don't dare to show a little sadness for him"

Meng Guan took the girl in his arms and patted her back, "It's not your fault, we just want to get out of the Huns alive, we don't have time to cry at all, I know, it's not your fault"

"No, you don't know" Zhang Yan suddenly burst out, "They are the people of the Han Dynasty, maybe they are the sons of a good family in the border county, maybe they are diligent farmers who live at sunrise, if they are on the battlefield, even if they die, they can kill a few Huns, but in order to find my whereabouts, they sneaked into the Huns and died anonymously, and I, standing a few steps away from him, did not have the courage to reach out to save him"

"It's not your fault" Meng Guan looked down at her, gray hunting suit, braided into the twisted braid of an unmarried girl of the Huns, with the effect of light and shadow, it looks like her face is round, her cheekbones are bright, and her nose is slightly wide...... If he didn't know her identity, he would really think that she was a native of the Huns.

"If you reach out to save her, it's just a matter of giving your life, and you don't know how to help them at all, no one will complain about you"

Zhang Yan raised her head and looked at him, her expression fragile, "Really? ”

Meng Guan sneered, "I debuted since I was a child, I don't know how many people I have seen die in the ordeal, if all the burdens had to be carried on my body, I would have been crushed to death a long time ago."

"Really? Meng Guan," she stared at him, and suddenly called his name

"Huh?"

"Nothing"

Am I the burden you have now? I can't bear to abandon it, and I bear it heavily

This is a question that Zhang Yan does not dare to ask and does not want to ask

When she calmed down, she found that when Shicai's emotions were agitated, in order to hold her, Meng Guan's clasped hand was still on her shoulder
