Chitose words

Chapter 448 The place where the incident occurred
Uncle Tara's eldest daughter-in-law, Abu, was startled when he saw this. The woman in front of him undoubtedly had a good appearance.

She was similar to most women in Hanyong in the North. She had barely read a book, and she didn't know how to accurately describe the visual impact that Xie Zhao's unconcealed face brought to her.

Abu only knew that this girl was so beautiful.

It was so nice to see that it was really her sin to let her white fingers get stained with the dust on the firewood.

But Xie Zhao just shook his head gently, but he seemed to have a power that no one could refuse.

For a moment, Abu couldn't say anything to refute her wishes, so he had no choice but to hand over the fire wrench.

Araya on the other side of the tent couldn't sit still when she saw this. She came over and took a closer look. With an incredible expression on her face, she asked curiously:
"You can actually make a fire?"

Xie Zhao smiled.

"How fresh these words are. If I don't know how to make a fire, who roasted the rabbit for the girl yesterday?"

Arua was stunned. That’s right!
Not to mention, Xie Zhao’s roasted hare tastes really good!

Even better than the slaves in her tent who are best at grilling food!
Before they could say a few words, Uncle Tara came in with her three sons.

Seeing the two of them squatting by the fire to make a fire, he hurriedly came up to pull them. He even glared at his eldest daughter-in-law and said dissatisfiedly:
"Abu, how can you let the guests take action? Guests, stop being busy! Come over for morning tea!"

Abu's face was red and he hesitated to speak, but he did not dare to talk back to his father-in-law.

Seeing this, Xie Zhao quickly apologized and said, "Uncle, don't blame me, Sister-in-law Abu treated me very well.

It turned out that the two of us were making trouble, and we were really embarrassed to just sit and watch my sister-in-law work, so we forced ourselves to help. "

Uncle Tara waved his hand and said with a smile:
"Guest, please take a seat."

Breakfast had already been placed on the simple wooden table in the tent.

A large bucket of butter tea, pickles made from two bells of wild grass, and a large pot of hot highland barley rice stewed with chopped wild plants.

There was actually a hot roasted leg of lamb on the table. From the looks of it, it was obviously chopped from the whole roasted lamb last night.

Regarding the fact that Hanyong people in the Northern Dynasties could eat meat that was very meaty and fishy when they got up early, Xie Zhao had seen it before when he was walking in the north, so he was not surprised.

Uncle Tara asked with concern in Hanyong with a strong accent:
"Is your guest feeling better?"

He treats Xie Zhao and Aruya as distinguished guests from other tribes, which is human nature.

For one thing, the two of them are women. In Hanyong, the north, the status of women is far lower than that of men.

As women, the two of them can actually walk independently, which is enough to explain the problem.

Uncle Tara is the patriarch of the Tara family. Although the Tara family is only a small family in the registration department, Uncle Tara has also seen the world.

What's more, Xie Zhao obviously has martial arts skills. According to common sense, the two of them cannot be ordinary people from a small family.

Secondly, the temperament of the two people is also different from the ordinary people and herdsmen of Handong.

Although Arua was disguised all the way, her hair was tied into a slave braid. However, she speaks and behaves gracefully, and at first glance she is not a humble slave girl who is cautious and obedient.

As for Xie Zhao, her temperament and appearance are even more stunning!
In the Hanyong Dynasty, a dynasty whose nature was to plunder, it was even more incredible to think that women with looks like these two dared to walk outside without a male companion.

That's why Uncle Tara entertained her so warmly last night, and even killed a sheep at home to entertain the distinguished guests, in the hope of forming a good relationship with them. Seeing his master's concern, Xie Zhao responded with a very polite smile:
"I just felt cold occasionally. It doesn't matter. I'm fine now. I fell ill suddenly last night. I didn't have time to thank Uncle Tara for taking care of me last night."

"Hey!"

Uncle Tara waved his hand and said with a careless smile:
"What kind of care is this? Besides, we should take care of each other when we go out.

But your sister was very worried last night. When she came to us to ask for herbal medicine to treat colds, she was so anxious that she almost cried. It was she who gave you the medicine herself, hahaha! "

Arua's little face turned red with shame. Unexpectedly, Uncle Tara told Xie Zhao her "dark history" last night, and quickly retorted loudly:

"No, no, who is about to cry?"

Seeing Xie Zhao looking over with a smile in his eyes, Aruya quickly turned away. She was afraid that Uncle Tara's family would hear it, so she lowered her voice and scolded him in a low voice:
"You 'two-legged sheep' are going to die?! What are you looking at! If you dare to laugh at me, I will tell them that you are a 'specialist' of the Southern Dynasties!"

Xie Zhao, who just glanced at her casually and inexplicably shot her gun before he could even say a word, was dumbfounded for a moment.

What did she say?
When did she laugh at her.

Xie Zhao was helpless.

Good guy, is this little aunt a firecracker? If you don't order it, it will explode. It is even more uncertain than Han Changsheng.

Aruya muttered something in a low voice. Xie Zhao looked at her mouth and knew that he was silently scolding her as a "sick two-legged sheep" again.

Xie Zhao shook his head and smiled helplessly.

After breakfast, they decided to bid farewell to Uncle Tara's family for the time being, and prepared to go to the junction of Langya Pass and Arruo Grassland to find out.

Xie Zhao used the last small gold ingot on his body to buy a horse from Tara's house.

Uncle Tara originally refused to accept it, but seeing Xie Zhao's firm attitude, he finally had no choice but to accept it temporarily. He also said that they are always welcome to come to the registration department next time, and he will let his second son go into the mountains to catch a roe deer at that time. Come give them a taste.

Xie Zhao thanked him with a smile and pulled Aruoya away who was reluctant to leave.

But there was one more horse, and this time the two of them no longer had to ride on the same horse.

The place where the herdsmen's accident was rumored was actually not too far from Uncle Tara's house, only a few dozen miles away, and they arrived in less than half a day.

The incident is said to have happened more than eight months ago. Time has passed, and now there are only sporadic brown marks left in the soil on that grassland.

Xie Zhao knelt on one knee, stretched out his hand to pick up a handful of slightly fishy soil under his feet, brought it up to his nose and smelled it carefully.

There was a faint smell of blood and livestock excrement.

People have indeed died here, quite a few.

Although it has been too long, there is little rain in the North, and the blood coagulated in the soil can still smell a faint smell of blood after being exposed to the sun in summer.

Xie Zhao frowned slightly.

Although I don’t know whether what Aruaya said is true or false, one thing is certain, that is, someone did die here a few months ago.

But it is not known who died, and whether he was a herdsman from the Northern Dynasty Registration Department.
