At noon, Ah Tie returned.

Narenya's family was packing their bags, and it looked like they were about to flee.

"Oh my God, kid, why did you run back?"

Ah Tie walked into the tent, Narenya's mother was startled, and a black clay pot in her hand fell to the ground with a 'bang' and smashed it: "The high priest is gone, and the people in their family are crazy, so the head man sent more than 100 people to look for it everywhere, it seems that he is going to kill someone." ”

"Quick, you take Narenya and Arhan and escape!"

"The world is big, the grasslands are big, and in the distant Altun Mountains and the Tianshan Mountains, you can find a new tribe......"

Ah Tie rubbed Alhan's little head, and said with a gentle smile: "If we escape, it will arouse people's suspicions, Grandma, Narenya, Arhan, please believe me, there is really nothing wrong." ”

He opened the bags packed by several people and returned them to their places one by one: "The high priest came to our house, said that he wanted to send him ten ewes, and whipped me, and went due west. ”

Looking at his serious appearance, Narenya's family was inexplicably relieved.

On the grassland, in every tent, there is really a need for a man who can pee standing up......

The high priest of the tribe was gone, and the leader was in a hurry, so he took a team of cavalry and searched for a radius of dozens of miles, and finally returned without finding anything.

Narenya's family finally breathed a sigh of relief.

However, when they looked at Ah Tie, they couldn't help but be a little scared, after all, a young man who could kill seven or eight strong men in one breath was like a sharp knife, even if he silently chopped wood, fed horses, and cooked mutton, it seemed that he couldn't hide the terrifying murderous aura on his body.

Of course, these Huns didn't know what 'murderous' was, anyway, when they looked at Ah Tie, they felt a little scared.

Ah Tie knew this, but he was always silent.

There are some things that need to be done slowly, and after the fact, they will eventually understand......

……

And so it went on for another two or three days.

The news of the high priest's disappearance spread, some said that he had gone far away, others said that he might have gone to see the king of Hutu, but in short, no one suspected that their high priest had actually been buried.

On the grassland, the shepherds' tents are rarely gathered, because the pastures of each family are different, and in the absence of wars and tribal gatherings, the interaction between people is often just a long and vicissitudes of singing a few long and vicissitudes of song.

Ah Tie is in a good mood.

Narenya was his first woman.

This barren shepherd's family, which was also his first home, was so strange that he was in a trance, and always felt a little unreal.

So, every night, he worked hard, listening to Narenya's lamb-like cry, and Ah Tie finally determined that it was all true.

Then, we have to act as soon as possible.

Amu had taken action and infiltrated one of the largest tribes in the vicinity, becoming a craftsman, cook, and shepherd of the chief's and high priest's families.

In addition, those stinky boys have also gained something, and they have become servants and craftsmen of the Huns without any waves.

In troubled times, people are not as good as dogs, and many tribes are broken down, either driving cattle, sheep and livestock to chase water and grass, and no one knows what tomorrow will be like, or, quickly, become the property of some other tribes, whether it is men, women or children, will integrate into other tribes and live a difficult life.

Therefore, more than a thousand and a half of the children easily integrated into dozens of tribes, but it did not arouse the slightest suspicion.

Even, the Huns who took them in were secretly rejoicing.

After all, a free slave and shepherd, who doesn't love?

At dusk on this day, the clouds were thick, lightning and thunder roared, and a large black cloud pressed down from the north, bringing a rare heavy rainstorm.

The prairie is quiet.

Qilian Mountain, Longshou Mountain, and Rouge Mountain in the distance were all filled with black clouds for a while, and they couldn't be seen at all; The shepherds hid in their tents, ate and talked under the sheep fat lamps; The men could not sit still, and from time to time they would open the curtain of the tent and look in the direction of their sheepfolds and cattle pens.

The rain was so heavy that it continued to rain endlessly, from dusk until midnight.

In the distance, there was a roar in the river, and it was supposed to be a flash flood.

"I'm going to see our sheepfold and cowpen."

Ah Tie put on a piece of woolen felt, lifted the curtain of the tent door, looked outside a few times, looked back at Narenya and smiled: "You want to sleep, I'll come later." ”

Narenya nodded vigorously: "Well, I'll wait for you to come back!" ”

Ah Tie stepped out of the tent, covered his head with wool felt, and strode towards the sheepfold......

……

In the middle of the night, Ah Tie returned.

His face was pale, drenched all over his body, and he was covered with mud and grass clippings, and he looked very embarrassed.

His eyes were shining, and he washed them briefly, scrubbed the mud and water stains off his body, and sneezed several times before he got into the 'quilt' sewn by sheepskin.

"Ah Tie ......"

Narenya's body trembled violently, but she didn't turn around, but just asked in an urn voice: "Are our cattle, sheep and livestock okay?" ”

Ah Tie smiled and said, "Okay, very good." ”

"The sheep stick to the ewes, the lambs are crowded around the ewes, the shed of the sheepfold is also very strong, and there is a lot of hay in our house, even if it rains for another day and a night, there will be no problems."

As he spoke, he stretched out his arm and straightened Narenya, who was as fat as a lamb, and looked at her face very carefully by the dim light of the mutton fat lamp, and exclaimed, "You are more beautiful than Gesang flowers." ”

Narenya straightened up, and the whole person was pasted, and said in a low voice, "Cold." ”

Ah Tie hugged a little tighter: "It won't be cold after a while." ”

The little woman nodded silently and straightened up again: "Ah Tie, will you leave this house?" ”

Ah Tie thought for a while before saying, "After a while, I'll take you to a place." ”

Little Women: "Where is it?" ”

Ah Tie: "...... from afar"

……

One day and one night later.

The rain stopped.

The small river in the distance was flooded, and the rain last night, coupled with the snow water flowing down from the Qilian Mountains, quickly converged, so that the small river, which was less than seven or eight feet wide on weekdays, actually spread several feet, and the river surface was twenty or thirty feet.

The sound of the water roared, and the river was muddy.

An astonishing news suddenly spread-

The head of the tribe died.

Together, more than 20 of his wives, 30 children, and more than 200 servants died overnight.

There are no scars on these people's bodies, and there are almost no traces of struggle, as if they are a lamp that has been blown out in their sleep, which is quite terrifying to listen to.

The tribe where Ah Tie is located is the largest one in the vicinity, with a total of 700 people, and after hearing the news, they rushed to the head of the house as soon as possible.

"What about the High Priest?"

"Something happened to the head's family, why hasn't the high priest come back?"

"What should I do......"

The shepherds gathered outside the tent of the chief's house, talking in whispers, not knowing for a moment what to do.

In the life of the Huns, there was no such thing as heaven and no such thing.

Their heaven is the head of the tribe, the high priest; Their land was a pasture given to them by the head, but in the end, it was still the pasture of the head's family and the high priest's family......

Ah Tie watched coldly in the crowd, his hands clasped together in his sheepskin robe, just like those wooden steppe people, looking a little dazed.

There was no war, no killing, and no scars.

The head of the tribe and a family of more than 200 people died inexplicably, leaving these Huns at a loss, and the high priest had no news, so he didn't know what to do.

"What should I do if I can't find the high priest?"

A shepherd came out of the tent of the head man's house, his face was gloomy, his lips trembling a little, and it was obvious that there was something terrible about the strange scene inside......

"Poison, you go and report to King Hutu and ask them to send someone to deal with it," an old shepherd with a dark face stepped forward, "Also, go out and find the high priest with two more teams, and let him come back as soon as possible." ”

Without the head, without the high priest, it seems that the Huns would not be able to live.

Ah Tie, who was hiding in the crowd, was just about to go out to speak, but his hand was grabbed by Narenya: "Ah Tie ......"

The little woman's eyes were full of worry and fear, and her eyes flickered, as if she were silently saying, 'Don't ......'

Ah Tie grinned, smiled silently at his little woman, and took a few steps forward.

The tribal organization of the Huns was very scattered, and when there was no war, it was relatively common for one or two men or women to occasionally appear in a certain tent, so he was not afraid to reveal his identity.

"Uncle Bayi, the weather is very hot, coupled with a night of heavy rain, these corpses need to be disposed of as soon as possible, otherwise, there may be unclean things born."

Ah Tie walked up to the old shepherd and said cautiously: "In addition, the cattle, sheep, livestock and horses of the head family are still starving in the pen, and if there is no one to take care of them, the cattle will starve......

The old shepherd named Bayi turned his head with a look of surprise in his eyes: "Who are you?" ”

Without waiting for Ah Tie to speak, Na Renya hurriedly spoke: "Uncle Bayi, this is my man Ah Tie." ”

The Huns looked over one after another, looking indifferent.

Obviously, the presence of Narenya's family in the tribe was not strong, and many people just nodded slightly, and then turned their heads and continued to look at the dozen or so lifeless tents.

Lao Bayi lowered his head and pondered for a few breaths, and said, "What Ah Tie said makes sense, no matter what, cattle, sheep, livestock, and horses can't starve, or ...... Draw a man from every household to herd sheep and horses for the patriarch's family? ”

The Huns nodded one after another, and some people took the initiative to stand up, and it seemed that they were going to herd sheep and horses for the dead leader.

Ah Tie walked into Lao Bayi's side and said in a low voice: "Uncle Bayi, each family has its own cattle, sheep and livestock to take care of, so it's better to ......."

Lao Bayi frowned: "What's not as good as what?" ”

Ah Tie said very seriously: "It's better to temporarily divide the cattle, sheep, livestock, and horses of the patriarch's family according to the population of each family, so that some families with thin numbers can't spare people to help." ”

Lao Bayi pondered for a few breaths, ignored Ah Tie, and turned his head to beckon to the other old shepherds: "Let's come and discuss." ”

And then.

There is no then.

The head of the tribe and his family died cleanly, and there was not even a trace of blood relatives left, and the pastures, cattle and sheep, horses, tents, and public property in the tribe naturally needed to be redistributed.

When Lao Bayi said Ah Tie's suggestion and let everyone talk about it, in fact, everyone's hearts were a little lively......

After all, when the head of the tribe is dead, there must be a new one, right?

However, the current situation is a bit special, the high priest is nowhere to be seen, no one is in charge, once anyone jumps out and wants to compete for the position of the leader, it may arouse the jealousy of others, and the hat of the leader will be fastened on his head.

So, it only took a short cup of tea to get things through-

For the time being, the cattle, sheep, livestock, and horses of the head family will be distributed according to the number of people in each household; At the same time, the pastures of the head's family were also temporarily allocated......

……

Ah Tie's plan has completed the first step.

In the evening, he drove more than 100 sheep, 60 cows, and 80 horses back to his tent with a calm expression, and he did not seem to have any mood swings.

In fact, his heart was already happy.

The trick that Yang Chuan Gongzi gave him was simply too effective!

God unknowingly killed the head of the tribe, the high priest, so that the entire tribe was paralyzed for a short time, and then, taking the opportunity to let everyone redistribute the cattle, sheep and livestock of the head family and the high priest's family.

On the surface, it is to herd sheep and horses for those noble lords.

As a matter of fact.

Once those cattle, sheep, livestock, horses, and pastures with abundant water and grass fall into everyone's hands, it is almost equivalent to a kind of destruction of the original social form, and after those ordinary herdsmen adapt to it for a period of time, they will naturally involuntarily think that those properties and pastures belong to themselves......

Since it has become everyone's private property, if someone dares to collect it and put it as his family's 'private property', the mood of the other Huns can be imagined.

In Yang Chuan's words, this is a conspiracy.

Simple, pure and brutal.

"Ah Tie ......"

Narenya's mother, a Hun woman who was actually not very old, stopped talking, glanced at Ah Tie very seriously, and then lowered her head and went busy.

Narenya, her mother, and her brother were busy cooking in front of the tent, and the smoke curled up, and the smell of burning cow dung had a faint stench, mixed with the inexplicable smell of grass, which smelled very good on the evening grassland.

"It's okay, you can rest assured."

Ah Tie drove the cattle and sheep of the head family into his own sheepfold and cattle pen, and picked a fat lamb with peace of mind: "Brother Arhan, come and help, our family will eat roast whole sheep tonight." ”

Arhan is still young, how did he know that a big thing happened in the tribe, as long as there was mutton to eat, he had already forgotten about Ah Tie's killing of the high priest, and ran over in a hurry: "Brother Ah Tie, do you really want to eat mutton tonight?" ”

Ah Tie carried the little fat sheep of the head family, walked to a clean grass, and asked Arhan to bring a black clay pot to take it underneath, waiting for the blood of the sheep.

He looked at Arhan with a smile, took out a sharp knife from his boot, and lightly cut the throat of the lamb: "Yes, eat mutton tonight." ”
