Chapter 436 [Please!Please!]

A crackling bonfire burns.

Chen Daolin threw a pile of hay into the fire, and then carefully turned over a leg of lamb on the fire, trying to make the meat evenly roasted by the flame.

On the ground behind her, Anicee snorted softly before finally opening her eyes.

The little girl sat up violently!

She looked around with wide eyes.

At this time, it is already late at night, surrounded by endless grasslands, in the night, you can hear the autumn insects making their final chirps, you can feel the evening breeze that is gradually chilling, you can see the starry sky, you can see the bright moon like a hook.

Anicee looked around in a daze, at the sky, and at the back of the man sitting by the fire.

She bowed her head and was covered with a blanket.

When I looked back, I saw my dog lying in the grass nest, and the sheep were there.

Ani froze for a moment, her eyes a little hollow.

At this moment, she saw the tall man turn around and smile at herself, and in the slight firelight, he smiled very specially, with snow-white teeth. His figure was in the firelight—I don't know if it was the fire or his smile, as if it brought a touch of warmth to Anice.

"Are you hungry?"

Chen Daolin gently cut off a piece of mutton and handed it to Anice. Seeing that the little girl took it in her hand in a daze, but did not eat it, Chen Daolin smiled lightly again: "There is no seasoning, only a little salt." Well...... Be careful when you eat it very hot. Belch...... Rest assured, your sheep are there. I didn't kill your sheep. ”

Anicee was stunned and looked at Chen Daolin. Then he looked down at the piece of mutton in his hand, which was worn with an iron tong, and exuded heat and aroma.

"I ......" the little girl shrugged the tip of her nose and tried to whisper in a calm and hoarse voice, "I'm asleep......?" So it's all a dream, right?"

She stared at Chen Daolin nervously and seriously, like a frightened little beast, and repeated in a low voice: "It's a dream, it's all a dream...... Isn't that right? Immortal lord, you sue me. It's all a dream, isn't it?"

Chen Daolin looked at the girl's eyes and saw the strong expectation in those eyes.

Suddenly, his heart softened, and he tried to smile and said softly: "...... It's all a dream. ”

Anice's eyes lit up. The flame of anticipation was suddenly extinguished.

She began to cry, and tears flowed out of her eyes. Gradually, the sobbing turned into a bitter cry, into a wail.

She threw away the piece of mutton in her hand, hugged her knees, and buried her head between her knees. Whimpered bitterly.

Chen Daolin looked at it for a while, sighed softly, walked to Anice's side, and sat down.

He hesitated, then held out an arm. Gently hug the little girl.

Anicee raised his head and looked at Chen Daolin. His eyes were full of sadness: "It's all true...... Not a dream. Immortal ...... I know, I know...... My grandmother is dead, my brother is dead, the tribe is gone, and the family is gone......"

The little girl kept crying, crying for a long, long time.

Chen Daolin didn't stop her from crying anymore. He knew very well that at this moment, this child needed to vent the sadness in his heart in this way.

When Anicee finally got tired of crying and couldn't cry anymore, Chen Daolin cut a piece of meat again.

He stretched out his fingers, pinched Anice's chin, stared into her eyes, and said in a stern tone, "I know you're sad...... Even if you want to cry, you have to eat something first, and when you are full, you have the strength to continue crying. And also...... I've heard you say that you still have your father and brother here, so you should eat your stomach and live before you have a chance to see your father and brother......"

Anicee stayed for a while, but she was in tears: "The home is gone, the tribe is gone...... Even if my father and brother returned, they wouldn't be able to find me...... My grandmother is gone, and my brother is gone...... My father and brother can't see them when they come back......"

That night, Anicee didn't say anything more, just remained silent.

……

When it was daybreak, the dog jumped up and ran to Anice's side, trying to arch her hand with his head, and then stuck out his tongue to lick Anice's palm.

Anicee didn't move.

The sheep began to bleat restlessly, and then ran around grazing, running farther and farther.

Anicee didn't move.

Chen Daolin didn't know what this little girl was thinking, maybe it would take her a long time to digest such a tragedy.

He quietly led the sheep back, retrieved the horse, and calmed the dog.

Then he carried Ani on the road, led the pony, a flock of sheep, and a dog, and slowly went east.

In the vast grassland, there are almost no reliable references, Chen Daolin just discerns the direction according to the position of the sun, and just goes all the way to the east.

In fact, he hadn't figured out how to arrange the little girl in his arms.

……

Last night, in the ruined tribe, Chen Daolin approached the surviving herdsmen. From the mouths of those herdsmen, the intermittent and fragmented words pieced together a general truth:

In the evening, another tribe of the steppe attacked the tribe. The men burned and looted, the young women were robbed, the cattle and sheep, and the horses were also taken.

The old and the weak and the children are either killed or abandoned.

Of the entire tribe, fewer than twenty people survived.

Chen Daolin gathered them together, and after questioning, he learned that these herdsmen were going to gather together after dawn and go west to find the other tribes in the west—their only option was to run to other places and try to join the other tribes, and they could be taken in by the other tribes.

Chen Daolin also wants to be kind and help them.

He tried to get the surviving old and weak herders to follow him. But sadly, his request was denied. The herders did not trust Chen Daolin as a stranger.

And Chen Daolin even tried to use the excuse that he was "a person on the holy mountain" at that time.

But what surprised Chen Daolin was. This time, even if he used this hand, he did not win the support of these survivor herders. Instead......

He was greeted with hateful eyes!

Then he heard a herdsman speak, and he was relieved of his doubts.

"I see...... Those robbers are under the banner of the White King!"

"Yes, it is the banner of the White King! The White King is the son of the Holy Mountain!"

"Is this the punishment of the gods of the Holy Mountain for us?!"

The herdsmen do have a traditional belief in the snow-capped mountains, but this kind of belief, after all, is still no match for their relatives being killed and their homes burned down!

In fact, if it weren't for Chen Daolin's fast walking. The surviving herders were already about to rush up and attack him with their hands and teeth.

Chen Daolin naturally would not hurt these poor people again, so he could only choose to retreat. Before leaving, he threw out a bag of gold coins and threw it on the ground.

He took Anicee with him.

Intellectually, he was not optimistic about the fate of the survivors - on the steppe, the herdsmen who lost their tribe generally had a pitiful fate. Even if they can find other tribes. If you are taken in, you will all be reduced to the role of slaves.

On the grassland, it's about survival, not human feelings.

If Anice, such a little girl, had stayed there and followed those people...... Chen Daolin was even skeptical. Will those people throw her away halfway?

She's just a kid after all.

She can't work, she only consumes food.

Of course, before leaving, Chen Daolin was on the fringes of the tribe and picked up a lamb that had been trampled to death by a horse's hooves—which he took back. Serve as a ration.

……

Anicee felt herself being held in her arms by the man, walking all the way.

The man walked very fast. But it's very light. Anicee curled up, in the man's arms, as if lying on the felt of his own house.

He walked steadily, steadily, steadily......

Anicee slept several times, woke up several times, and had many dreams, dreaming of her father, dreaming of her brother, dreaming of her grandmother, dreaming of her brother, and dreaming of the lame uncle.

But in the dream, there were so many people in the family, but they couldn't see themselves - they didn't seem to be able to see Anice.

A few times I dreamed, a few times I woke up, and a few times I cried.

In the evening, Chen Daolin stopped to rest again.

He wasn't tired himself. But the sheep and the dogs and the horses could not bear it.

He wanted to throw away these "burdens" several times, but he thought that these things were the only things that the poor little girl in his arms had, and he still couldn't give up his mind after all.

(I remember that Du Weiwei's chick said that I am a woman's benevolence, it seems that Lao Tzu is indeed ah...... ）

In the evening, Chen Daolin boiled a pot of mutton soup, and then almost semi-forcedly, forcibly poured a bowl of Anice.

The little girl was crying and coughing at the same time, coughing heartbreakingly, but Chen Daolin was just tough and ruthless. "If you don't eat it, I'll kill your dogs, your sheep, and your horses!"

After Chen Daolin said such words, Anicee was silent for a while, looked at Chen Daolin in fear, and then grabbed a piece of mutton, the soup was **, and desperately stuffed it into his mouth, crying while stuffing it.

When it was completely dark, Anicee finally stopped crying.

She sat by the fire with her knees crossed, far away. Chen Daolin couldn't bear it, so he hugged her over, closer to the fire.

At night, Chen Daolin was thinking about something else when he suddenly heard Anice, who was sitting by the fire, singing softly.

Yes...... After listening carefully twice, this little girl is singing a ballad with a very peculiar tune.

The voice is high-pitched, crisp, and of course a little tired hoarse, a little desolate.

But she was singing.

"The stars in the sky are shining~

The girl's head was long.

The head is long,

Cut a stubble, grow a stubble.

Like the grass that grows on the ground.

The holy mountain is high in the distance~

The guy's eyes lit up.

Your eyes are bright.

Open up, good girl.

It's like the snow of the holy mountain. ”

Hearing this, Chen Daolin didn't think too much, he just felt that the little girl should be melancholy and miss her family, so she would sing such a folk song.

But next. The tune of this ballad suddenly changed!

"The stars in the sky shine!

The king's scimitar shines.

The herdsmen's heads are long,

It's like grass growing on the prairie.

Cut a stubble, grow a stubble!

The king's scimitar shines,

Whoever will conquer my father, who will kill my mother, and who will slaughter my people!"

Groov!

When he heard "Who will recruit my father!Who will kill my mother!Who will slaughter my clan!", Chen Daolin's heart suddenly sank!

He stared at Anice's face, but the little girl's face was full of gloom.

Chen Daolin thought in his heart, not knowing how to comfort this child.

And at this moment, Anicee suddenly got up.

Tiny body. His steps staggered, and he walked crookedly to Chen Daolin's side.

She suddenly knelt in front of Chen Daolin.

In the little girl's dark eyes, there was a trace of childishness, but there was also a trace of firmness.

She raised her head, lifted her chin, and looked into Chen Daolin's eyes.

Then she suddenly untied the already disheveled braid on her head with both hands, and let her head fall apart.

Then she touched it from her arms. After touching it for a long time, I shuddered and found a low-quality cow bone comb - several teeth had been broken, and the color was yellow.

The little girl held the comb in both hands and knelt in front of Chen Daolin.

She burst into tears, but in her sharp and thin voice, there was a hint of firmness far beyond her age.

"Abba sued me. My grandmother sued me, and my brother sued me...... They all said that the gods and men on the holy mountain were all supernatural and had many, many extraordinary abilities. Immortals. I know you're a very powerful person. You saved my life and sheltered me...... I don't know how to thank you enough. I just want to plead with you. I beg you to teach me what only the gods know, and I beg you to seek justice for my grandmother and brother, and for my dead people. Please, please, please!"

In the end, the little girl couldn't cry, her little body was trembling, but she insisted on talking:

"I had nothing but a few sheep, a horse, and a dog...... I know that all of these are far from enough to pay you. I can only dedicate myself to you...... Please let me be your slave girl, I will spend my whole life serving you, I can herd cattle and sheep for you, I can run horses for you, I can mow grass for you, I can do all the work, I will do it with all my strength, I only need to eat a little food every day, I will never be lazy in my work! Even if you whip me, I will only praise you in my heart, and I will never have the slightest resentment.

etc., etc., etc., ......etc., etc.,

Speaking of this, Anicee cried and trembled a little: "Wait, when I grow up, I grow up a little...... I, I, I can still be your woman. Abba and Grandma said that I will be beautiful when I grow up, and I can have children for you! Grandma gave birth to my brother, gave birth to me, and gave birth to my younger brother. I...... I am my grandmother's daughter, and I will definitely be able to give birth to many......, many children in the future! I'm willing to give anything. Immortals, it's just ...... Please, please!"

With that, Anicee began to kowtow vigorously.

She had grass clippings on her forehead.

Chen Daolin was a little stunned.

He stared at the little girl in front of him.

When I first met the day before yesterday, I was simply panicked and nervous like a deer, and when I ate candy, I would show a satisfied smile like a cat, and her eyes were clear and simple......

At this moment, his face was full of grief, his forehead was red and full of grass clippings, and he used almost childish words and pleadings and promises...... With the most humble and pitiful posture, try to impress yourself......

And the non-stop, repeated, with a sharp and thin voice:

I beg you!

I beg you!!

……

Chen Daolin was stunned for a while, and it was not until the flame of hope in Anice's eyes was gradually extinguished, and the little girl was almost desperate, that Chen Daolin finally reacted.

He gently pulled Anicee up, patted her on the grass and dirt on her pants, then took out his handkerchief and wiped her forehead and face.

In the end, Chen Daolin took the comb, helped Anicese comb her hair, and then stuck it on her head as a card.

Chen Daolin's expression was very stern:

"I'm a person who doesn't like the word 'slave'! In my hometown, there is no such word in the world. ”

Anice's body was trembling—Chen Daolin immediately realized that the kid probably thought he was rejecting her.

Finally, sighed.

"Later...... You just follow me, and I will take you as an apprentice. Well, you can call me teacher in the future. ”

Anice's eyes lit up immediately!

"Old ...... Teacher?"

"Yes, teacher. Chen Daolin said softly: "In the future, you follow me, and I will take you back to my home." There is enough to eat, to be warmly clothed, not to be cold and not to starve. No one will bully you. I will teach you many, many things to make you a great person. Well...... That's what the word means, teacher. ”

Suddenly something seemed to melt in Anice's eyes.

She cried out, hugged Chen Daolin's arm with both hands, and pinched Chen Daolin's arm with her small thin fingers.

Then, with almost all her strength, Anicee cried out:

"Teacher!!"

……

A man, a little girl, a pony, a dog, a few sheep.

A long walk on the prairie.

Way...... East.

It's fate, maybe not.

……

…………

"Is it almost there?"

Du Weiwei, who was riding on a horse, stretched out his hand to cover his forehead and looked into the distance.

Beside him, a chubby officer who got up on his horse hurriedly bent down and nodded with a gesture of humility with fear: "Quick, fast...... Lord Duke...... In an hour, well, an hour at most, it's coming!"

Du glanced at this guy slightly, nodded, and then suddenly smiled, and then said lightly: "Duncan, as long as you do well, I will forgive you for your capital crime." But if you don't do it well......"

Duncan's body trembled, and he quickly said, "Lord Duke...... Even if I fight for my life, I will definitely do what you have to do properly, and there will never be a trace of error!"

Du Weiwei didn't pay attention to this guy anymore.

She turned her head and looked to the other side.

Dixon and Hook also rode horses, just a little behind Du Weiwei.

"You two...... If I'm not mistaken, you don't think you have seen this piece of land created by your master. I've heard a lot about this place, and I'm ...... I've always been curious, curious about how many interesting things he has made!"

(Darling Chan!...... If you bully me Du Weiwei, don't you have to pay the price!)
