Chapter 439: Pine Nut Oil

Xie Zhao suddenly used the words of the Northern Dynasty to scare the little girl with a smile:

"Then it seems that the girl is dead, or we should suffer a little more and bury her on the spot, which is a good deed."

Sure enough, as soon as her words landed, the little girl on the ground opened her eyes suddenly in the next second.

There was a hint of horror in her Danfeng eyes, but she pretended to be calm.

Obviously angry and afraid, his eyes were still cold, and he stared at Xie Zhao with a strong and dry face.

The little girl's face was covered with dirt and grass, and it was so dirty that it was almost impossible to see her true face.

But the towering nasal bones and the shape of the narrow Danfeng eyes undoubtedly do not indicate her authentic Northern Dynasty human bones.

The eyes were blue, very clear and blue, like a frightened little animal, vigilant and cute.

"Yo? Really awake? ”

Feng Yanxi smiled when he saw it, and he asked:

"Little girl, can you understand us?"

The previous conversations between them were all in Tianchen's language.

Since this little girl pretended to be dizzy, she thought that she could understand some of their conversations, so she pretended to be unconscious to secretly listen to what they were talking about and who they were.

In fact, most of the people on the border of the North Korea can speak some simple Han dialect of the South Korea.

Because in the ten years before the outbreak of the war, Tianchen and Handyong had been trading with each other.

In particular, the border Cypriots of the Northern Dynasty will take advantage of the convenience of removing the hair of the sheep in the summer, and sell their wool to the towns of the border passes of the Southern Dynasty by the way.

Although there have been occasional disputes and frictions between some people in the two countries over the years, there are no major problems.

Although it is said that the two sides are trade, but in fact, for trade, it is still the greater dependence of Handyong of the Northern Dynasty on Tianchen of the Southern Dynasty.

Tianchen's needs for Handyong are nothing more than cattle, sheep and furs.

If there is, then it is good, but even if there is none, it is fine.

The south is full of cotton and silkworm craftsmen, and there are all kinds of substitutes for wool.

What's more, where can Nanchao Tianchen be the coldest?

The prices of wool and cowhide were just dispensable things for the people of the Southern Dynasties.

That is, the border towns in the south and the far north, the climate is relatively cold, and it may only be used.

However, the people of the Northern Dynasty needed a large amount of grain, tea, cloth, salt, and some green vegetable crops that were abundant in Tianchen in the Southern Dynasty.

Therefore, in fact, the two sides rarely fought each other in recent years, and most of the people in the Northern Dynasties learned a few simple Chinese words.

It's just that this sudden battle of northerners going south completely disrupted the original balance between Tianchen and Handyong.

The little girl sat up, snorted softly, gently straightened the hem of her skirt, and opened her mouth in an extraordinarily fluent Chinese.

She glanced at Xie Zhao, who was looking at her thoughtfully, raised her chin slightly, and said:

"That's natural, our slaves in the Northern Dynasty will speak a little Chinese more or less."

Xie Zhao laughed "fluttering", and then said lightly:

"But little sister, you don't look like a slave."

The girl's eyes widened suddenly, looking at her reaction, thinking that she was said by Xie Zhao.

"Master, how can you see it?"

Feng Yanxi frowned and glanced at the girl again.

This girl, whether she is dressed or braided her hair and headdress, looks like a slave of the Northern Dynasty, and even the scars on her palms look like she is used to doing work.

Xie Zhao smiled slightly.

"When I first gave her the pulse, her wrist was as smooth as jade. Although there was a wound on the palm, it was a new scratch, and it was thought that it was caused by a fall on the road.

As for the cocoons in the palms of the hands, they are sharpened by holding the reins of horses all year round. And the clothes and riding boots were her size—well, a little bigger, not very fitting, and presumably not hers. As for the bun."

Xie Zhao smiled lightly and added jokingly under the girl's widening gaze:

"It's true that her hair is in a single braid, but it's a little too good."

"Huh? Is there a problem with how well you comb it? ”

Feng Yanxi was stunned.

Xie Zhao nodded with a smile and said:

"Ordinary slaves braided their own hair in a bun, and it was inevitable that they couldn't see the back, so most of them argued diagonally to the front.

But although her hair is also braided, it is neatly combed in the middle of the top of her head.

If she had combed her own hair and braided it, it would have been difficult to be so thoughtful.

It can be seen that this hair must have been combed for her behind her. Although the combing was a little hasty, it was so regular and had a faint fruity fragrance, presumably her hair was moisturized with pine nut oil all year round. ”

What?

Feng Yanxi's eyes immediately looked a little more scrutiny!

Sure enough, if you smell it carefully, this girl does have a strange fragrance in her hair!

He looked at the girl on the ground fixedly, his five fingers slowly gathered on the dagger at his waist, and asked in a deep voice:

"Who are you, little girl?"

Pine nut oil, which was used by the nobles of Hanyong in the Northern Dynasty to care for their hair.

The people of the Northern Dynasties lived on horseback all year round, and riding and archery was the norm.

Therefore, their hair is often blown by the whistling north wind, and the weather is cold and the water source is cherished, so they will not take a bath often, even if they braided their hair in a bun, it will inevitably be knotted and frizzy after a long time.

As a result, this extremely expensive Zhongzhou Ruian imported product "pine nut oil" has become the favorite hair treasure of the Hanyong nobles of the Northern Dynasty.

The girl who can use pine nut oil for hair care all year round can never be the lowliest female slave in Handyong!

You must know that a small bottle of pine nut oil is worth as much as a dozen slave girls in the Northland.

Therefore, even if the slave girl is favored by the master's family, but the goods are bought and sold, the master will never reward the slave girl with such a precious item.

The beacon guards also changed their previous relaxed and friendly state, their eyes were very vigilant, staring at the girl quietly, and subconsciously guarding Xie Zhao's side.

The girl was stunned.

Immediately stood up in a huff, pouted and said unconvinced:

"Are you embarrassed to question me? Whoever I am, at least I'm a real Handan Yong, but you-"

She looked everyone up and down, and said disdainfully in fluent Chinese:

"Do a flock of sheep in wolf's clothing really think they are wolves? Even if you wear the clothes of our Hanyong people, you look nondescript!

I haven't asked you who you are yet. What are the intentions of sneakily appearing in our territory of Handyong? ”

The Hanyong people of the Northern Dynasty admired wolf nature and despised the weak sheep the most.

They felt that the horses were companions, and that the cattle were farmable and part of the tribe—only the sheep were worthy of being eaten, or that they had been skinned to make jackets to keep them warm.

Therefore, many years ago, when the Southern Dynasty was weak and invincible to the Northern Dynasty, faced the coercion of the "Sword Immortal Mound" in the Kunling Snow Mountain, and did not have the support of the top masters, many people in the Northern Dynasties liked to contemptuously call the Tianchen Han people in the south "Han sheep", "two-legged sheep" and so on.
