Chinese dining table

No matter how loud Naha yelled, Marmot Big Fatty never showed up. Ten years later, Big Fatty might have died.

By the time they entered Kucha again, the city should have changed its appearance. The huge crack in the city wall where Guo Xiaoke and his son died was finally blocked by the Anxi army.

The large mulberry forest outside the city wall also disappeared, and it seemed that it was cut down by the Tang army stationed in Kucha. After all, that forest was not good for the defenders, but very good for the attackers.

The ditch that Yunchu used to relieve the heat and float dead pigs has dried up, and it seems that the water channel has also been changed to the Karez well.

Judging from the shape, the area of ​​farmland in Kucha has expanded a lot. Even in winter, the fields are still full of wheat straw.

When Yunchu left Kucha, there was still a strong smell of corpses, but now it's gone, and the whole city is filled with a strong smell of sheep.

When entering the city, Yunchu couldn't help but compare the current Kucha with the Kucha in his mind. After comparing a few places, he couldn't help but feel that things are right and wrong.

After the brigade was stationed, Yunchu and Naha silently packed their things, neither of them willing to talk.

When she first entered the city, Naha asked about the Cypriot tribe, but the Tang Jun here said that they were on the other side of the snow mountain and asked about the name of Jaska, but they said they had never heard of him, let alone knew him.

When Yunchu took Naha away from Daxue Mountain, Selema was already an old woman who was almost 30 years old. Whether she could live another ten years, neither Naha nor Yunchu had any certainty.

None of the Cypriot women can live past the age of 40. In the Cypriot tribe, Yunchu has never seen a woman over 40 years old, and there are not many women around the age of 35.

The reason why Sailaima, at the age of 26, can still make a warrior like Jie Siga fascinated by her, is entirely due to Yunchu's breeding.

Her nutrient intake far exceeds that of Serbian women who can only eat the samurai's spat, and even the samurai's nutritional intake cannot be compared with Selema.

When Yunchu was here, every ten days, the three of them had to eat a meal of meat, and most of the meat was carefully processed and easily absorbed by the human body.

Coupled with Yunchu's persistent hygienic requirements, this led to Selema's recovery of her true physical fitness, causing her to maintain the appearance that a woman of this age should have at the age of 26 or seven.

Naha and Yunchu brought a lot of things, all of which were given to Jieska and Selema.

Under the escort of 500 people led by Liang Ying, Yunchu and Naha left Kucha with fifty camels and headed straight for Daxue Mountain.

I don't know when, the snow started to fall on the Gobi again. The snow here is very small and heavy, and it will make a rustling sound when it falls on the body. If it accumulates a little more, it will slide off the clothes.

In the Western Regions, the environment will basically not change much, but the turnover of people is very fast.

In the past ten years, the wild pine forest by the small river has not changed much, but the water in the small river has increased. This can be seen from the large white ice sheet created by the river freezing and rushing up the Gobi Desert. …

For 160 miles, Yunchu and Naha walked for two full days, and encountered several Huihe cavalry along the way, but when they found that this team was flying the black flying tiger flag of the Tang Dynasty, they all stopped. , After looking at it from a distance for a while, it disappeared.

Finally at the foot of the Snow Mountain, Yunchu also saw the Cypriot tribe at the foot of the cliff, but judging from the size of the houses and tents, in the past ten years, the Cypriot population has not only not expanded, but has become much smaller.

Seeing a cavalry coming, the Cypriots blew their horns, and the men came out of the tent one after another. Those with horses began to ride, and those without horses followed the cavalry with wooden forks.

As for those women and children, they quickly packed up their things and drove the cattle and sheep to the snow mountain.

Yun Chuduan sat on the back of a bay red horse and said to Naha who was riding a black horse, "Look, the Serbian warriors don't even have enough horses now."

Naha sighed, "I still just want to see Se

Laima and Jaska"

Yunchu smiled wryly and said, "I don't know how long Selema can stay in the tent of Jaska. Judging from the virtues of the Sai people, once a woman is unable to have a child, she will be kicked out of the tent."

It is a big taboo for the army to enter the tribal settlements. They will be resisted by tribal fighters for a while. Fortunately, the Cypriots are used to surrender. When they saw five hundred black-armored Tang cavalry on the opposite side, they immediately gave up. resistance.

Yun Chu urged the horse down the high slope, and the horse's hooves passed through the Sai people who were kneeling on the ground, and came to the place where he had set up his tent before.

There is no shadow of the tent here, even the keel of the tent is gone, only a few black stones that he used to set up the pot for cooking are still there, but after ten years of wind and rain erosion, those stones are not so black up.

Yunchu went to look at the location of the Jiesi Kazha tent again. Similarly, there was no sign of a tent there, only an old fox tail tied to a high wooden pole fluttering in the wind.

A man with a big beard vaguely understood something. He wanted to open his mouth several times, but finally he closed his mouth obediently in front of the towering Tang cavalry.

Naha also followed. Her bright appearance and chestnut hair unique to Cypriots attracted the attention of all Cypriots.

Naha got off the Wuchai horse and came to the place where she and Yunchu had lived together for six years. She squatted down slowly, stroking the pale black stone with her hands, and couldn't help but burst into tears.

Yunchu picked up the bearded man's chin with a horse stick, made his face face to himself, and said indifferently in Huihe dialect, "Miman?"

Mi Man was agitated at first and wanted to stand up, but in the end he knelt on the ground obediently and whispered, "Yun Chu!"

Yun Chu said, "It's me, I'm back, where are Jieska and Sailaima?"

Miman pointed to the pole with the fox's tail on it and said, "Jesga is dead, and Selema has been kicked out of the tribe."

Mi Man’s answer was almost the same as Yun Chu’s expected. As a warrior, Jaska died, and the elderly Selema had no choice but to be kicked out of the tribe. After all, the Seri tribe did not support an idler.

Liang Ying felt that this kind of thing was unacceptable. After a warrior died in battle, a tribe would drive his wife and children out of the tribe. This is not what people should do. So, he stared at Yunchu firmly, and as long as he gave an order, The five hundred cavalry under his command can kill all the people here at once. …

Xiao Yuhua and Afanti didn't react at all. In their view, this kind of thing is a very normal thing.

Yun Chu didn't feel that there was anything wrong. Ten years ago, when he was still in the Cypriot tribe, he had seen too many such things.

If the samurai lives, he and the people in his tent can enjoy a superior life. If the samurai dies in battle, the people in his tent will be assigned to other tents by the patriarch. Of course, those are young women and children. If a woman When you get old, you will be expelled from the tribe to fend for yourself.

This rule applies to anyone, even the Huihe Khan. After the Khan dies, the women and children in his tent will be divided, and no one can be an exception.

"Where did Sailaima go?" Yunchu pulled back Ma Qiang and asked.

Mi Man is no longer the little boy who likes to herd ewes. Like Yun Chu, he has also grown up. Like the adult Sai people Yun Chu has seen, his beard has grown all over his face, so that only the tall The hooked nose is the most conspicuous.

When he was young, Mi Man was often bullied by Yun Chu. Now that he has grown up, he is even more afraid when facing Yun Chu.

"Selema went to the Great Snow Mountain. That was three years ago. She should have been eaten by wolves long ago."

Mi Man pointed to Grasshopper Lake, and a smile appeared on Yunchu's face, that's right, Sailaima, who was expelled from the tribe by the Cypriots, where else could she go except Grasshopper Lake.

He threw a bag of gold coins to Miman, and urged the horse to come to the crying Naha, grabbed her cloak and put her back on the back of the Uma Ma, patted Naha on the head and said, "Come on!" Ma went to Grasshopper Lake"

Naha lifted her hood, looked at Yunchu and said sadly, "I heard what Mi Man said, we're not here, she can't live alone in Grasshopper Lake"

Yun Chu said, "There are a lot of fish in Grasshopper Lake. I taught Selema how to catch fish, and I also taught her how to grill fish."

Naha grabbed Yunchu's hand and said, "Let's go to Grasshopper Lake now."

Mi Man watched this group of Tang cavalry leave the tribe's fixed camp, threw the bag of gold coins in his hand, and came to a thick Sai man with a smile, "Master Tang said, from now on, I will be the big Abo here. "

The burly Sai man didn't refute, he just saw that Mi Man knew that noble Tang man.

"I'll move to live in your tent tonight. Everything in your tent is mine and I deserve it. I saved your life and didn't tell Yunchu that it was you who killed him." His mother was kicked out of the tribe. This secret can't be kept for long. Look at those people, all of them are eager to go to Gaomi, the master of the Tang Dynasty, so that they can get rewards. Waishi, run away, run far away, forever don't come back"

The burly Sairen waved his food, without a moment's hesitation, jumped on his horse, and ran away in a hurry. He accidentally saw Naha's beautiful face just now, so he was very sure that Yunchu must be The king among the Tang people, and only the king among the Tang people, can have such a beautiful woman.

Grasshopper Lake is still so quiet, but because of the cold winter, the lake is covered with a thick layer of ice.

However, Yunchu still saw a small ice hole in a very familiar place, and there were black water waves rippling in the ice hole.

Suddenly there was a cry of an eagle in the clear sky, and then a giant black eagle jumped down from the sky. At this moment, a big fat marmot with a whole body of yellow came out of the wild grass. This guy Its body is so fat that even while running, its oily fur moves back and forth like a bucket that can run.

Seeing that the eagle was about to capture the marmot, Yun Chu made a move. He raised his hand and drew the bow to shoot an arrow, and an arrow with withered feathers roared towards the eagle.

The withered feather arrow pierced the eagle's neck, and the dying eagle spread its wings and fell to the grass.

The running marmot took the opportunity to sneak into a dark stone cave, and immediately poked out a fat head and looked at the sky with mischievous eyebrows.

Naha yelled, "Big Fat!"

The marmot snorted and burrowed into the cave again.
