The goshawk strolls on the way, comes to a high slope, looks into the distance, but sees the grass and clouds in the distance, the blue mountains and green land, layer upon layer, undulating like waves, if you don't see it with your own eyes, how can you think that outside this reckless desert, there is such a poetic and painting scene?

He had a keen eye and saw that miles away, on the meadows, nearly a hundred felt tents were set up, as white as clouds and dotted with lush green grass. He thought to himself: Is this the village that the Shuxiu girl said?

He ran a few steps, caught up with his two female companions, pointed in the direction of the tents, and asked, "I see that there are many tents there, but your village?"

Li Shuxiu shook his head and said: "Our village is not so close to the desert, and this village must be the residence of the rest of the Kazakhs. ”

When the three of them walked into the village, they saw a busy scene in the tents, and the left-behind women were lighting a fire to cook, sewing and mending, milking and feeding the cows and horses.

Li Shuxiu stepped forward and said in Kazakh: "Dear friends, we are travelers from the desert, after a difficult journey, and finally come to this meadow blessed by Allah, and I swear to Allah that we have no ill will. ”

An old man came out of the tent, he was kind and kind, and his body was extremely tough, and he seemed to be quite an authoritative figure here, and he smiled: "Since we are guests from afar, we will naturally entertain you well." He cried out with a loud voice, and asked the women to make a fire and cook and bring wine and goat's milk.

Li Shuxiu and the county lord of Jiuhe hadn't bathed for several days, their clothes were shabby, and they were itchy all over, so they asked the villagers for two clean clothes, and quietly asked the women to take them to the lakeside to bathe. When the women saw that they were both beautiful and lovely, and that they spoke well, they were very fond of them, and they were at once enthusiastically helpful, and brought them the most beautiful and fitting clothes, and led them towards the lake behind the village.

The old man's name was Abra, and he was the chief and wise man of the village, and most of the men in the village went out to hunt and graze, leaving only some old and weak women and children to stay here. He looked at Li Shuxiu and the county lord of Jiuhe, and then at the goshawk, showed a cheerful smile, patted him and laughed, and gave him a pair of thumbs up.

Goshawk knew in his heart, knowing that he had misunderstood in his heart, and praised himself for his good fortune and married such two beautiful wives as companions, but the two could not understand each other, so they could only laugh, but secretly did not think so. The two of them gestured to each other, talking nonsense, although the words did not reach the meaning, the chicken and the duck talked, but the old man was extremely hospitable, and the goshawk was also quite sincere, nodding and waving his hand like this, talking and laughing, and actually chatting quite speculatively.

The goshawk told Abra, "We came from the other side of the desert and came out of the maze. As he spoke, he turned his head to look in the direction of the desert.

Abra seemed to understand, and with a look of surprise on his face, he patted the goshawk on the shoulder, drew a large circle with his hands, and kept gesturing to symbolize the light.

The goshawk instantly understood, he shook his head in annoyance, and said, "No jewelry, no gold, just a broken book. As he spoke, he took out the secret book given to him by Zhang Axe Mountain from his bosom and spread it out for Abra to see.

Abra seemed to be extremely interested, but he looked at it for a long time, and sighed three times with a bitter face, meaning that he didn't know anything about the contents of the book.

At that moment, the curtain of the tent behind Abra was lifted, and a man in a cloak and a turquoise silk robe walked out. The goshawk was taken aback, and hurriedly went to see this person, only to see that he was a Han man, about seventeen years old, extremely handsome, fair skin, red lips like blood, the bridge of the nose was delicate, long hair hung down from the top of the head, like a waterfall, the hair on the forehead was slightly brushed, covering the eyebrows, quite a face-covering pipa.

But the fly in the ointment is that this person seems to have a wink, his left eye is wrapped in a white bandage, blood stains are pouring out, and his right eye is shining like a star, his eyelashes are curled, faintly revealing his wisdom, and the comparison of his eyes makes people feel sorry.

The goshawk frowned slightly, and thought to himself: How could there be a prince like gold and porcelain living in this small Kazakh village? He was so handsome and dressed so luxuriously, and he was a rich and noble man, how could he come to this remote place to suffer? His left eye was injured not long ago, and his left and right hands were flexible and powerful, and his martial arts were extraordinary. Is he being hunted down by his opponents, so he is hiding here?

The man saluted with a fist at the goshawk and said, "My name is Jiuying, and I am also a guest who came here from afar, and I just overheard your Chinese in your mouth, and I was curious and excited for a while, and I couldn't help but want to get acquainted with you. ”

The goshawk knows that the nine babies are the demons in mythology, spitting water and fire, harming the world, this name is quite ominous, and it makes people think about it. But seeing that he was polite and his words were appropriate, he couldn't help but have a good impression of this person, and said with a smile: "Why should the ninth infant son be polite? ”

Jiuying nodded at Abra and said a few words of Kazakh, and Abra smiled and ran down happily, shouting at the women in the village.

Goshawk asked, "What's wrong with him?"

Jiu Ying smiled slightly and replied, "I will repay his hospitality and promise to give him an extra ten taels of gold, so that he can quickly serve wine and food, and entertain you and me." He also asked him to lend us his tent and go and stay elsewhere first. ”

The goshawk was stunned for a moment, and secretly thought: This old Kazakh man was dizzy with joy, and it turned out to be the credit of this gold. It seems that although the Kazakhs are simple, they are difficult to resist the temptation of money. I thought again: This Jiuying is so generous, he is really a rich man, so it seems that his identity is also extraordinary.

Suddenly, the goshawk heard the sound of a woman talking outside the house, the voice was getting closer and closer, and soon after, the curtain was rolled up, and Li Shuxiu and the lord of Jiuhe County walked into the tent, they were wearing the red clothes of Kazakh women, wearing a high hat on their heads, and a necklace carved of cobblestone on their bodies.

When they saw Jiuying, they couldn't help but be stunned, carefully looked at his appearance, and were secretly surprised. Li Shuxiu has lived outside the Saiwai for a long time, and she prefers heroic and heroic men in her heart, and Jiuying is extremely handsome, but she doesn't care. The county lord of Jiuhe changed his expression, his cheeks were red, his eyes were clear, a shy smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he lowered his head, and said softly: "Brother Goshawk, this son is ......"

Goshawk hurriedly introduced to the two, Jiuying suddenly saw these two flower-like girls, but his expression was quite calm, stood up, and saluted the two generously, Li Shuxiu knew that he could not reveal the identity of the county lord, so he said: "My name is Li Shuxiu, my parents are from Jiangnan, and I have lived in a Kazakh village since childhood. This is my sister, named Ah Zhen. ”

Jiuying smiled: "Your name is really good, Lingxiu and handsome, cherished like jade, and sure enough, people are like their names." In the place below this border, it is really a blessing to be able to meet two fairy-like characters. ”

Li Shuxiu has never heard such flattery since he was a child? His heart was pounding, and he secretly thought: This son is really good at praising people, I don't know what kind of character he is? Why did he come here?

The county lord of Jiuhe laughed coquettishly when he heard this, and said angrily: "This son, what kind of bad thoughts do you have in your heart?"

Jiuying said solemnly: "How dare you, how dare you, when I saw the two girls as beautiful as fairies, I couldn't help but spit out frivolous words, I really should be punished, I should be punished." ”

Seeing that they were bored with words and looked like children were tired, the boss was impatient and thought: "I thought that this nine babies were the number one person, but at this moment, it seems that they are just a gentleman." He was secretly thinking about it in his heart, thinking about how to provoke Jiuying to fight with him, but when he saw his light face at this moment, he was not interested.

The four of them were about to take their seats, when suddenly there was a panicked cry in their ears, and the old man Abra broke into the tent and shouted loudly in Kazakh: "Nine Infant Son, several robbers from the Broken Bone Village came from outside the village, saying that they wanted to arrest a son with a wounded eye, this is ......"

Jiuying frowned slightly, and said, "You just say that I'm not here, just send them away." ”

"I have said so a long time ago," said Abra, "but the wizard among them keeps saying that you are here, and he feels that the spirit of their lord is haunting you, and if we don't hand you over, they will come into the village." ”

The Kazakhs are brave and good at fighting, if the young and middle-aged people are in the village, they are not afraid of these bandits, but at this moment there are only some old and weak people in the village, how can they be enemies of these murderers?

Li Shuxiu raised her eyebrows and said loudly: "I'll send them away for you." ”

Abra hurriedly said: "Don't be reckless, these guys are proficient in martial arts, and their ghosts are really difficult." What can you do with a weak girl?"

Li Shuxiu volunteered and was about to rush out of the tent, but Jiuying stopped her and said, "Miss Li, this matter starts from below, how can you bother Miss Li's jade hand? After that, he shook his robe, walked out of the tent, and walked straight to the outside of the village, the goshawk saw that there was a fight, only felt the blood surged, and the limbs were full of energy, like a shadow behind Jiuying, the county lord of Jiuhe and Li Shuxiu were naturally not to be left behind, Abra sighed, fell far behind, and the rest of the clan also hesitated to follow. When the next group of people followed Jiuying, they walked to the entrance of the village.

I saw a group of horse thieves on the hillside, wearing short-sleeved linen clothes, densely sewn trivial bones on their bodies, all of which were cattle and sheep bones, which looked vicious and cruel, and were creepy, one of the horse thieves galloped out of the horse, walked in front of everyone, pointed at Jiuying, and said angrily: "You damn bastard, you killed our village owner by despicable means, today we will not only slaughter you to avenge, but also kill this village cleanly, there is no one left." He knew that Jiuying was Han Chinese, and he actually spoke Chinese.

Abra was startled, he understood simple Chinese, and hurriedly shouted in Kazakh: "Uncle of Broken Bone Village, the prophet once said: Kill only man-eating wolves, not young wolf cubs." What does your grudge have to do with our village?"

The leader of the horse thieves looked up to the sky and laughed, his face was cruel, and he said fiercely: "You lied to me before, and caused me to spend a long time talking to shield our great enemies, and we can't let you enemies go." ”

Jiu Ying patted Abra on the shoulder, signaling him not to panic, walked out of the crowd alone, slowly walked to the leader of the horse thieves, and said, "Do you know why I want to kill your village master?"
