Yang Ruoning, Chapter 55

Most of the slaves brought back by Handan Aqi were executed. The process of execution became a murderous carnival for the men of the tribe.

In the open space to the west, bonfires were lit all day long, and drunken men, shouting and shouting, slit the throats of slaves one after another with butcher's knives that had long been soaked in blood. What's more, they drove a group of strong slaves into the fence of the horse farm, turning the horse farm into a Shura field where bets can be placed.

At night, Yang Ruoning and Handan Chun Shen Tree secretly assembled, and the atmosphere became extremely silent. The breeze of the summer night is no longer the fragrance of grass and trees, but the smell of blood. A distant corpse pit filled with fresh corpse parts, attracting countless vultures. Their terrible cries from the fight for food are terrifying to hear.

All slaves above the wheels will be killed, Handan Chun told her.

It's Ge

ocide. This was the means by which Handan Aqi was able to conquer most of the northern frontier and make everyone submit to him.

Yes, Handan Aqi planted the seeds of fear in the hearts of everyone when they were young, so that they grew up in fear, so that they did not dare and could not resist their authoritarian rule.

Yang Ruoning thought that no matter what method she used, she would help Handan Chun and the shaman's mother-in-law put an end to this disaster.

Yes, no matter what the method.

Yang Ruoning went to find her as soon as she heard that the shaman's mother-in-law had returned to the tribe after her retreat. She wanted to know what the shaman-granny had seen in her vision, and maybe she could get a hint.

"God told me that the girl from the foreign tribe under the sacred tree will help the tribe out of the darkness."

"Huh? Is that all? What else did God say? ”

"The old woman is already very grateful for such a proverb, how can she ask God for more."

Hearing this, Yang Ruoning felt angry and funny. "A girl from a foreign tribe under the sacred tree? Mother-in-law, there are a lot of people from Da Song or other tribes here. There are a lot of foreign girls under the sacred tree, OK? So God may not be talking about me. ”

"I know."

WHAT?! "Then why were you so sure it was me in the first place?"

"The first time I saw you, I thought it was you."

"But what if it's not me?"

"That's the old woman who recognized the wrong person."

Hearing the shaman's mother-in-law say this, Yang Ruoning's face was already full of black lines. "Mother-in-law, this is something that I risked being beheaded, I can't do it so casually."

"Isn't this how everyone who is sold here lives? Even if Miss Yang doesn't agree to the old woman's request, I'm afraid that the chance of your beheading will only be much more. β€œ

Belch...... Forget it, there's no point in arguing with the shaman's mother-in-law at this point, getting rid of King Azi and leaving here as soon as possible is the right way.

"Besides, Miss Yang is also a dying person, isn't she?" As she left, the shaman left a word for her leisurely purpose.

Yang Ruoning was stunned, what did the shaman's mother-in-law mean by this? She didn't think that the old woman really had the power to be superb. She's an atheist, and she doesn't believe in weird things. Perhaps the shaman's mother-in-law said this just to warn her that there was no way back, and that she must help Handan Chun get rid of King Azi. People will die eventually, and sooner or later they will die, so whatever she says is right.

On her way to the stable, she passed by the place where the prisoners were held. The sun was shining today, and the poor people were like sunburned plants, and they were not angry at all. Yang Ruoning heard that in a few days, King Aqi would pick a few women and children to sacrifice to the gods, and kill all the rest.

Thinking of their pitiful ending, Yang Ruoning couldn't bear to look at them anymore. She lowered her head and walked briskly. But after a few steps, she stopped. She looked around, everyone had gone to dinner, and there was no one around.

She stepped back backwards, then whispered to the boy cowering in the corner, "Hey! Hi! ”

The boy was unclothed, his whole body was dirty, and he couldn't even tell the gender.

The child looked up, gave her a quick look, and lowered his head again.

"Hey! Bub! Yang Ruoning called him again, "Come here!" I don't mean anything malicious, I just want to give this to you. Yang Ruoning took out a few fruits and shook them at him. She brought the fruit to Blake.

The kid hesitated, not knowing whether to take it. At this time, the people around also raised their heads, and they stared directly at the food in Yang Ruoning's hand, but no one dared to move.

"Uh, you ......" Yang Ruoning seemed to understand the reason, she took a bite of the fruit and chewed it exaggeratedly at them. The fruit was really sour, Yang Ruoning instantly grinned with sourness, "Ah, this is a little sour......" She swallowed and coughed a few times. She wondered no wonder you suspect that this is a poisonous fruit that can really acid people to death. But it was the only thing she had on her hands to eat.

"Well, forget it, I've put this fruit here, you can do it yourself." So saying, she put the fruit in the cage and left.

She thought about going to the tree tonight and getting some food for them.

She thought that the tree was actually very innocent, and if it really had a soul, it should not like to see someone kill in front of her, and it should be called a sacrifice.

Ah, that's why the divine tree told the shaman mother-in-law to lead the clan out of the darkness, Yang Ruoning suddenly realized.

*************

Blake had been chained to the open space behind their tent by Yang Ruoning for days since he had caused a catastrophe on Ah Jing's stallion that day. She wanted to wait until the estrus period was over before letting it out, but Blake was unhappy with the loss of his freedom, and went to feed it every day.

Today, she finally learned that the estrus period was over, and she prepared those fruits to envelop the horse's heart. When Blake saw Yang Ruoning, it bared its teeth, twisted its head to the side, and moved to the side with small steps, indicating that it didn't want to see her.

Yang Ruoning patted its head and said, "Okay, I know you're not satisfied with me, but it's also for your good to tie you here these days." But from today onwards, you'll be free again. As she spoke, she untied the reins.

Blake hissed, his front hooves flew into the air, and then he ran to the grass behind him without looking back. Yang Ruoning laughed and shouted at it, "Remember to come back when you're full, Blake." ”

*********************

Late at night the next day, Yang Ruoning crept close to the cage where the captives were kept. Hearing her voice, the little boy immediately looked up this time.

Yang Ruoning lowered her voice, "Hey, I'm here to bring you food." ”

Just under the sacred tree, she filled a small half pocket of food. Handan Chun watched from the sidelines and did not stop her. He seemed to know that she had taken so much food to give to the captives. However, Handan Chun told Yang Ruoning that she should go in the dead of night when everyone was sleeping, and told her to be careful and let her not get too close.

Yang Ruoning said at the moment while gesturing, trying to tell them that she was here to deliver food. Handan Chun said that these people should not understand her words, and it is no wonder that those people had a hostile attitude yesterday.

A man next to the boy looked around and moved around. Yang Ruoning took out the food from the cloth bag, stuffed it into his arms, and then took out a gourd shell, poured water into the water bladder, and handed it to him.

"You eat slowly, I'll come back this time tomorrow," she quickly slipped away.

For three or four days in a row, Yang Ruoning would bring them food late at night. She noticed that the boy's identity seemed to be different, and that others always dared to eat their own hands after watching him take the first bite.

Thinking that they would die in a few days, Yang Ruoning sighed in her heart, and couldn't bear to look at them again. She wished she could do something, but there was nothing she could do.

She cleaned up and prepared to get up and go. Suddenly, a hand grabbed her from behind. "Two days later, when the moon is full, you will not be here." There was an incommensurate calmness and majesty in some childish voices.

"So you can understand me."

"Remember what I said," the boy said and stepped back. Yang Ruoning suddenly realized something, she didn't speak again, just nodded at him, and turned to leave.

So, when Yang Ruoning brought them food the next night, she handed them a knife that had a thick rust and had long lost its blade. After the group took the knife, some looked at each other, wondering why she had given them such an unusable knife.

The boy asked, "What does that mean?" ”

Yang Ruoning said, "If you want to kill someone, please use this knife." ”

The person next to him said something to the boy, although Yang Ruoning couldn't understand it, she could guess seven or eight points. "Of course, if you can do it, that's fine." I don't like that person either, and my task is to send him to God as soon as possible and receive God's judgment. But, as you know, he is very powerful, and in case you can't get it, I want to offer you a pla

B, a secondary option. It's a simple solution, you just have to use this knife to make a cut in him. ”

"Is it just a mouth?" The boy asked.

"Yes, but remember to go deeper, and be sure to see blood."

"That's it?" The boy's tone was full of doubt.

"Well, this isn't any ordinary knife, I call it the 'Tetanus Blade'. All you have to do is make a stroke on him, and the rest will be left to the invisible hand of God. Yang Ruoning stood up, "Although he won't die on the spot, you have to be patient and give the 'God's Magic' a little time." ”

"Who the hell are you?"

"Me? I'm just an ordinary person who happens to know a little bit more about the 'magic of the gods' than you do, or in a sense, I'm not an 'ordinary person'. Yang Ruoning squeezed her eyes at him and said with a smile. Goodbye, I hope you can go home safely. ”
