"Just a stitch?"

"Yes, just a stitch."

"Your name for this stitch is a bit sloppy." Shao Xi doesn't have to guess to know that when this needle is applied, there will be one needle.

Guo Youde smiled and waved his hand and said, "It's just a name, I'm too lazy to use my brain." ”

Shao Xi looked back at the grass shed, turned back and asked Guo Youde: "Do you want to apply the needle now?" ”

"Huh! This needle is the most important needle in my life, how can I be hasty. Xiaoyou will come back tomorrow, and when I am ready to stop, I will give Xiaoyou an injection. ”

"Okay, then I'll come back tomorrow. Hopefully tomorrow your shed will be cleaned up and we won't have to sit outside. ”

"Little friend, look, you have been tested, and I have promised to help you, you see if that Danfang is ——?" Guo Youde's face was full of smiles, and his eyes were full of expectation.

Shao Xi also knew that he would not give up, so he said with a smile: "I'll tell you the ingredients first, and after you help me open the pulse, we will refine it together." ”

"Okay, good, with Xiaoyou to correct you, you must be successful in refining."

"Remember, get ready. Quartz sand, feldspar, limestone, dolomite, miscanthus salt, alkali. In addition, you had better build a small kiln next to it, the temperature of your Dan furnace is not enough. ”

Guo Youde snapped his fingers to remember, and hurriedly nodded in response: "Everything is arranged by Xiaoyou, and when Xiaoyou comes tomorrow, it will be ready." ”

Shao Xi got up and said, "Then that's it, I'll go back first and come back tomorrow." ”

Just as Shao Xi turned around and was about to leave, Guo Youde stopped him.

"It's time to see that Xiaoyou is hovering around here, but you're looking for the Tianyan Stone?"

"Exactly, how do you know?"

Guo Youde said with a surprised expression: "There is nothing else around here, just that thing." ”

Shao Xi became energetic again when he heard this, "I'm depressed about this matter, do you know where to find this thing?" ”

"Don't look for it, I have a lot of them here, just give them to Xiaoyou." With that, Guo Youde turned around and ran towards the grass shed.

A moment later, Guo Youde ran out with a cloth bag the size of a pineapple.

"It's not very common, but you'll always pick up a lot of it if you stay here for a long time."

Shao Xi opened the bag and took a look, good guy! There are more than 30 of them. Although most of them don't look as good as the ones that Urina gave them, they are all about the same as the one that Lao Wu took away.

Shao Xi handed the bag back after reading it.

Guo Youde looked at him in surprise and asked, "What do you mean by this, Xiaoyou?" Don't you think what I sent is not good enough? ”

"I've heard that these things are valuable, how can I take you for nothing?" Shao Xi replied.

"Huh! What are you talking about? These things seem to be worth a little money in the Central Plains, but they are worthless here. Besides, Xiaoyou gave me such an important Danfang, how can it be said that it was taken for nothing? ”

Guo Youde reached out and pushed back the hand that Shao Xi handed out.

"Okay, then I'll be disrespectful. By the way, remember not to put saltpeter, sulfur and charcoal together for alchemy. Shao Xi tied the bag around his waist, turned around and left as soon as he bowed his hand to Guo Youde.

Guo Youde shouted behind him: "Little friend, remember to come tomorrow!" This way is waiting for you here. ”

Shao Xi recalled the whole process of meeting Guo Youde and felt that he couldn't cry or laugh. A sloppy old man and a six-year-old child, from a dumb look to an inexplicable quarrel, to a very happy conversation, and finally a little reluctant.

With so many Tianyan Stones sent by Guo Youde, Shao Xi naturally didn't have to look for it anymore, so he went back the same way to find Muren and Wu Rina.

When he found Muren and Wu Rina, Shao Xi was dumbfounded, only to see that this group of children was no longer playing football, but fighting in a group. Muren stood in the middle, pulled this one, and that one ran over; Pulling away the one, this one rushed over again, and Muren was so anxious that he was sweating. Uzhna couldn't help, and was so anxious that she stamped her feet desperately.

I haven't been away for long, why did I become like this in a blink of an eye?

Shao Xi pulled Wu Rina over and asked, "What's going on?" Didn't you just play well, why did you suddenly start fighting? ”

When Wu Rina saw that it was Shao Xi, she immediately pouted, "It's not all your fault, so many people you only took one ball, and they rushed to fight." ”

Shao Xi was happy when he heard it, and asked Wu Rina: "How did they rob it?" ”

"At the beginning, when you kick it, they kick it too. Later, when someone couldn't kick it, they rushed over and picked up the ball and ran, and the others chased after it. ”

Boy! I made them a soccer ball, and it turned out to be played as rugby by these guys. I also blamed myself for running to pick up stones without explaining the gameplay and rules to them. But now that we know the reason for the incident, it's easy to do.

It took a lot of effort for Shao Xi and Mu Ren to make this group of children stop. Shao Xi called a few children to help draw the field, and then gathered everyone together to roughly explain the gameplay and rules of football. The children of the prairie are honest, they have just fought, and now they are playing together. Shao Xi ran to the side and watched the excitement with Wu Rina, and Mu Ren also changed from a rack to a referee.

Looking at Muren and Wu Rina, looking at this group of children, they were all smiling so brightly, Shao Xi suddenly felt very emotional. On the surface, he looks like a child, even smaller than the group of children in front of him, but is he really still a child? Although he found the body that belonged to the child, he could never find the childlike heart again.

All of a sudden, he felt that there was no going back.

Urina blinked her big eyes and looked at him fixedly: "Feng Yuyan, are you missing your Abu and Eji?" ”

Wu Rina's words broke Shao Xi's defense, and tears fell uncontrollably all of a sudden. Oh, yes! He misses his drunkard father and his mother, but no matter how much he thinks about it, they can't come back.

Wu Rina, who found out that she was in trouble, hurriedly grabbed Shao Xi's sleeve and said while shaking: "I'm sorry, I said the wrong thing, don't be sad." ”

Shao Xi is actually not sad, but regretful. There are so many things that I thought were still in time, but I didn't have time to do.

"From now on, let's be your relatives. I and Muren's Abu and Eji, your Abu and Eji, Muren is your Aha, and I am your Egeqi. ”

"I don't want to call you Egeqi."

"Why?"

"I don't want to scream."

"Why don't you want to call?"

"If you don't want to call, you just don't want to call."

"Why don't you call if you don't want to?"

“……”

It's started again......

As it got dark, the children of the prairie began to ride their horses in the direction of their homes......

Along the way, the children talked and laughed, and they all felt that the new game taught to them by Shao Xi was particularly interesting. So everyone discussed it, and we will come out tomorrow. This is also in line with Shao Xi's intentions, if he goes to Guo Youde alone tomorrow, he is really worried about whether he can control this white horse.

When everyone was about to return to the tribe, it was first Makito who noticed that something was wrong.

On the periphery of the tribe, there are many riders roaming, and on the edge of the periphery are men patrolling with weapons. The atmosphere of the whole tribe looked very tense, as if it was guarding against something.

"Something happened, everyone hurry home and go to find their respective Abu and Eji." Makihito seemed to know very well what was going on.

So, a group of children ran to their felt tents.

When Shao Xi followed Muren and Wurina to the clearing in the center of the tribe, he was stunned by the scene in front of him. I saw a group of wounded men lying on the ground, some with knife wounds and some from arrow wounds. The old healers of the tribe were cleaning their wounds and dressing them with medicine, and the women were busy boiling hot water and washing the blood-stained strips of cloth.

On the ground in the distance, there was a row of dead men, and next to it was another row.

Muren gritted his teeth and said, "It must be Mao'anbu, it must be them, this group of jackals on the grassland." ”

Shao Xi actually guessed what happened? In the past, in the TV series with historical themes, I also learned that there were often some fights between grassland tribes in history. Although he didn't like it, he didn't find it strange, what he saw in his eyes was the difficulty and painful struggle of the grassland people's survival, as well as the perseverance and courage to fight against nature.

"Su He, arrange for someone to scrub our warriors who died in battle and prepare for cremation. As for those from the Mao'an tribe, they were left there, waiting for them to send someone to pull them back themselves. "Rising Sun is directing everyone to do the aftermath work.

Seeing Muren coming over with Shao Xi and Urina, he greeted him and said, "Muren, you Abu and Eji are in the felt tent, you and Urina should go back and have a look." You don't know where you've gone, and you're dying of worry. ”

"Got it, Uncle Sunrise, let's go back and have a look."

When Makihito and Urina's Eji saw them enter the felt tent, they immediately rushed over and took the two children in their arms. Crying and saying, "Where did you go?" I thought something had happened to you, too. ”

Just as Shao Xi was lamenting that everyone else had parents and he had nothing now, Eji had already pulled him over and hugged him in his arms.

"The most pitiful thing is this child, even the only adult around him left yesterday. Let's live with Muren in the future, and we can take care of each other as a family. ”

Shao Xi was very moved, it felt good to be treated as a family member.

At this time, Zhuo Ligetu was sorting out his equipment, as if he was going out.

"You are at home with the child, and I will discuss the next thing with the rising sun." As he spoke, he walked out of the felt tent.

"Abu, I know what you're going to do. Take me, I'm also a warrior of the steppe. Muren caught up and said.

"Of course, my Muren is a warrior of the grassland, but now this is a matter for adults. You and Uzhna are at home with Eji, and the future of the Ministry of Thoths depends on you children. Zhuo Ligetu patted Muren on the shoulder and said.

"Maybe, don't be in such a hurry."
