Washed clean, to help the high priest channel?

It is clear that the old god stick used the name of 'psychic' to mutilate the little women of his tribe, which is the most common in the Xiongnu tribe;

Ah Tie has lived in the Beihai area for a long time, and through the sale of porcelain, cattle, sheep, livestock, horses, salt and other things, and the Huns 'mingle', he naturally knows all kinds of things about the Huns.

It can be said that those high priests who have been passed down from generation to generation do not have a good thing......

Ah Tie looked at the girl's green little face, and suddenly asked, "What disease do your cattle and sheep have?" ”

The girl poked her head out and said a little sadly: "Our cattle and sheep don't eat much grass, but they like to gnaw on the soil, can't walk, and don't ......lamb much."

Ah Tie immediately understood that this was a lack of salt.

In the words of Yang Chuan Gongzi, there is a lack of 'trace elements', just add a little salt to them, bone meal or something, and they will get better soon.

"I can cure your cattle and sheep and livestock," Ah Tie thought for a moment and stared at the girl very seriously, "However, you have to promise me one thing." ”

The girl was overjoyed, and then her face became bitter: "However, the high priest said that my family's cattle and sheep are disrespectful to the Immortal Heaven and need to be ......."

Without waiting for the girl to finish speaking, Ah Tie said with a smile: "Go and see your cattle and sheep first, if it is better, you don't have to go to his tent." ”

The girl's eyes widened, and after thinking for a while, she nodded hesitantly: "Uh, okay......"

……

Two thousand years ago, there were many lakes and seas under the Qilian Mountain, therefore, the water and grass were abundant, the cattle and sheep were everywhere, and it was one of the richest places for the Huns.

In the places occupied by some tribes, there are lakes and seas, grasslands, and the Gobi Desert, where cattle, sheep and livestock can nibble on alkaline soil in saline-alkali land, and can also nibble on plants such as camelina on the Gobi Desert to replenish various trace elements necessary in the body.

In later generations, this kind of cattle and sheep that eat alkaline soil and various alkaline plants have delicious meat and a faint salty taste, which is the best in beef and mutton.

However, some tribes, because they are relatively strong, occupy the most abundant pastures of water and grass, and the cattle, sheep and livestock are full of food and drink, and they do not go far away to 'gnaw sand', so there will be a strange disease-

Anorexia, cramps, infertility.

Ah Tie has been following Yang Chuan for a long time and has heard a lot of knowledge about food, among them, there are people and livestock......

In the sheepfold of the Xiongnu girl's house, he quickly diagnosed the crux of the problem: "Your cattle and sheep are not sick, just eat a little salt." ”

The girl was a little sad: "There is too little salt in the tribe, not even the patriarch's family and the high priest's family, and only two lambs can exchange a handful of salt." ”

Ah Tie thought for a while and said, "Otherwise, let's go and change a handful of salt for your livestock, and I'll help you get a bag of salt when I go back." ”

The girl bit her lip, thought for a few breaths, and ran quickly to a tent not far away: "Ah Tie, wait a minute, I'll ask Grandma." ”

Ah Tie waved his hand, and stood at the door of the sheepfold and waited, looking at the snow-capped Qilian Mountain in the distance, with a smile on his face, like a harmless sunny teenager, without a trace of impurities in his eyes.

He likes the tranquility and the smell of cows, sheep and livestock.

This is living.

It's just that in this world, it's too pickled, and those aristocratic lords are high, and they only have pasture, gold, and other people's women in their eyes......

The only thing that doesn't have it is people.

In the eyes of those dogs, everyone else except themselves is their own property, their own cattle and sheep and livestock, and their own slaves.

Facing the clean and bright sunshine, he half-squinted, thinking about Yang Chuan's instructions before leaving, carefully calculating and thinking, and gradually had a very clear goal in his heart......

"Ah Tie, my aunt said that my family's cattle and sheep are not sick, but they have offended the retribution of Immortal Heaven."

After a while, the Hun girl came running quickly, with tears on her face, and said a little sadly: "Thank you, kind passer-by, I should go to the tent of the high priest's house at night to help him channel." ”

Ah Tie shook his head and said with a smile: "You don't have to go to the high priest's tent, I have a way to make your cattle, sheep and livestock eat grass well, and I can also let them lamb as soon as possible." ”

The girl shook her head: "No, if I don't go, we will be driven out by the tribe, not only will there be no pasture, but even half of these cattle and sheep will be left for the tribe." ”

Ah Tie: "It's okay, I have a way." ”

Immediately, he pulled the girl and walked towards a sea in the distance.

The girl looked stunned, but she didn't know what was going on, so she followed Ah Tie to a saline-alkali land in such a daze.

"This grass, pull it out more."

"There is also that kind of grass, which should also be pulled more, and cattle, sheep and livestock need alkaline grass to grow well."

“……”

The girl began to pull the weeds in disbelief, and Ah Tie went to the saline-alkali land, gathered up the whitened alkaline soil, piled up a large pile, and took out an iron pot from his bag and began to 'purify the alkali soil'.

And so it was, and an hour passed quickly.

When the girl saw a small pile of white flowers of salt, her two butterfly-like eyes were stunned: "Ah Tie, this is, salt?" ”

Unexpectedly, two lambs can exchange a handful of salt so easily to get?

Ah Tie smiled and said, "Come, taste a little." ”

This kind of salt that has been boiled simply, in fact, contains a lot of unclean things, in Yang Chuan's house, and in the distant Luding City, this kind of salt can only be fed to cattle, sheep and livestock, and people do not eat it.

However, in the current Hexi Corridor, in the tribes of the Huns, even this kind of 'coarse salt' is very precious, not to mention for cattle, sheep and livestock to eat, even people cannot guarantee it......

"Ah, it's really salt!"

The girl carefully stretched out a finger, dipped a little salt, put it on her tongue and tasted it, with a touch of shock on her face: "Ah Tie, are you the high priest of which tribe?" ”

As soon as the words came out, she felt that something was wrong.

After all, Ah Tie is too young, and he still has unkempt hair and a shabby sheepskin robe, so he is not a noble lord at first glance.

Ah Tie smiled: "I am not a high priest, but a homeless vagabond. ”

The girl glanced at the white salt, and then at the harmless Ah Tie, and suddenly asked, "Why don't you live in my tent in the future?" ”

Ah Tie thought about it and scratched his unkempt hair: "It's ......"

……

In the tribe of the Huns, if there is no male and the family cannot sustain itself, the women, cattle, sheep and livestock of the family will belong to the family of the patriarch or the high priest, and they will become the property and slaves of others.

It's a survival instinct.

Grasslands, deserts, lakes, snow-capped mountains, Haizi, Gobi Desert, flocks of sheep as white as snow, long and vicissitudes of pastoral songs.

These things sound beautiful.

In fact, only those who live here know how difficult it can be to live, or to live well.

The family of three of the Hun girl Narenya is actually ready to 'defect' to the high priest, but the appearance of Ah Tie has given this rotten shepherd family a glimmer of hope.

Ah Tie is not very old, but he is a man after all.

"Arhan, you move to Grandma's tent," after a brief conversation, Narenya's mother made a decision: "Tonight, let Ah Tie and your sister live in that small tent." ”

Alhan, who was only five or six years old, looked reluctant, stiffened his neck, and glared at Ah Tie: "Why can he sleep with his sister?" ”

Ah Tie also looked helpless.

Isn't this a little too fast?

However, in order to realize Yang Chuan's decision as soon as possible, he had no choice but to agree......

……

So, day and night later.

Early in the morning, after a brief wash, he began to get busy, chopping wood, feeding the horses, and mixing some salt into water for the cattle, sheep and livestock to drink.

Then he took an axe and began to repair the ruined tents and the sheepfolds and cattle pens.

Narenya had only seven or eight cows, more than a hundred sheep, and four or five horses at home, all of which looked sluggish.

If it weren't for the appearance of Ah Tie, such a shepherd's family, unless it took the initiative to become a slave of the patriarch and high priest's family, and became part of the family's property, would not have been able to resist the long winter at all.

Listening to Ah Tie, who was busy outside the tent, Narenya's mother walked out of the tent and leaned against the tent door sickly, with a hint of relief on her face.

Although this young man named Ah Tie was only sixteen or seventeen years old, he was a clever man when he looked at his working posture.

Moreover, he is also very good, taciturn, and should be a good man.

"Ah Tie, Grandma, Arhan, it's time to eat."

After a night of shyness and throbbing, Narenya became a virtuous little woman, and even though she was a little inconvenient, she still got up early, limped and busied, and cooked a large jar of goat's milk for the family.

even, I boiled a can of mutton very intimately, planning to make up for Ah Tie......

Hearing Narenya's greeting, Ah Tie stuffed his head, nailed a few wooden stakes in the bullpen, and tied them firmly with a wool rope, and then came over to eat.

"My sister is eccentric, why does he have mutton in his bowl and only mutton soup in my bowl?"

During the meal, Arhan looked angry, and stared at Ah Tie fiercely.

"Eat yours!" Grandma looked helpless and gently reprimanded her son, "Ah Tie, eat while it's hot, you are the man of our family, you have to eat a lot to work." ”

Ah Tie sandwiched a piece of mutton and put it in Arhan's bowl, and then sandwiched a piece for Grandma and Narenya respectively, and said with a smile: "Everyone eats meat if there is meat." ”

Narenya's eyes widened, and she glanced at Ah Tie fiercely, but tears suddenly welled up in her eyes.

Grandma too, her eyes were a little moist.

Only the young Arhan looked heartless, and he was eating mutton with a stuffy head: "You are the man of my family?" Where's my Abba? Where did he stay when he came back? ”

Ah Tie stretched out his hand and rubbed the little cub's head: "Hurry up and eat, you are growing up, you want to eat more meat." ”

The food of the grassland people is very simple, especially in the poor family, in fact, they can't eat beef and mutton several times a year, and in normal times, as long as there is a handful of cooked barley, mixed with some ghee and goat's milk, it is the best food in the world.

As for the cattle, sheep and cattle that are all over the mountains?

Don't even think about it......

While the family was eating, there was a dull sound of horses' hooves, and seven or eight people came from afar on horseback.

Ah Tie just glanced at it casually, and then continued to eat mutton and drink mutton soup with his head bored, and the expression on his face did not change, but the face of Narenya's family of three changed greatly.

"High Priest!"

Narenya's face was full of horror, and her lips trembled a little: "Ah Tie, Ah Ma, the high priest is here, what should I do?" ”

Narenya's mother was also terrified.

The thin, dark Hun woman, with her eyes wide and her lips trembling, did not know what she was whispering, as if she was praying.

Ah Tie Urn said angrily: "It's okay, there is me." ”

It's just an old brute, and he doesn't pay attention to it at all.

"Narenya, why didn't you come last night?"

An old Hun with a gloomy face rode a horse, followed by seven or eight fierce cavalrymen, all of whom looked as cold as iron, and sat very arrogantly on horseback without saying a word.

"High Priest, we have a man in Narenya," Narenya's mother stood up and bowed down like a lamb to the slaughter, and her voice trembled.

"Got a man? That's him? The high priest looked at Ah Tie coldly.

Ah Tie stood up, bowed and said, "I've seen the high priest." ”

With a 'woo' sound, the whip in the high priest's hand was drawn, and a terrible cut was drawn on Ah Tie's face, and blood was dripping, and in an instant his sheepskin robe was wet.

Ah Tie raised his head and asked very seriously: "High priest, why did you whip me?" ”

The high priest had a gloomy face and looked at Narenya, who was trembling on the side, and didn't bother to pay attention to Ah Tie at all.

"What's your name?"

"Ah Tie."

"Where did you come from?"

"Elk tribe."

"Why did you come to our Green Fang Tribe?"

"Last winter, our tribe was hit by a snowstorm, and all the cattle, sheep and livestock died, and the people also died and scattered."

"Let's go."

"Where are you going?"

"Go to my house, you kid looks very honest, it's good to herd sheep for my house."

Ah Tie raised his head, looked at the old god stick on horseback very seriously, and suddenly grinned: "Okay, but I have to wait until I finish chopping this firewood." ”

As he spoke, he pointed to a pile of firewood not far away.

The high priest had a gloomy face and did not say anything.

Ah Tie walked to the firewood, picked up the small axe on the ground, and began to chop it with a very focused expression, as if he didn't have any sense of the crisis in front of him.

The high priest snorted coldly, turned over and dismounted, carried a cow tendon whip in his hand, and slowly walked towards Ah Tie: "You like to chop wood, don't you?" Rest assured, in this life, you will chop firewood......"

After continuous audits, the mentality of the chef is a bit broken. Of the 19,000 words, only 4,000 are left. Readers, forgive me.
