"Mommy, why hasn't Dad come back?"

"Aji, do you miss Dad or do you want to eat meat?"

On the edge of a secluded forest on the north bank of the Jingqili River, a wooden house stood there alone. There was a low fence around the wooden house, and some vegetables grew in the open space outside.In the yard, a child with double-horned braids coquettishly hugged his chubby mother. His watery eyes blinked at his mother, his face shy and expectant.At his feet, a basket with a broken side contained some potatoes.

"Abba said when he left, bring meat for Aji when he comes back."

The child tilted his head and looked into the distance, but there was no sign of his father in his sight. He couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, and pouted his mouth, as if expressing his dissatisfaction with his mother: Why hasn't father come back yet?

Seeing her son's disappointment, the woman was both amused and sad. Since the Raksha people came here, their lives have changed.In the past, men could hunt yellow sheep spores every time they went out, and the whole family could not only eat well, but also take the excess prey to Yask to exchange some oil and salt. They work every day, and the remuneration they get is pitifully small, and they can't support the family's expenses at all.In order to supplement the household income, the woman has used the open space around the house as much as possible to grow some vegetables and fruits in summer so that they can be eaten when winter comes.I usually eat as little as possible with men, and leave the only meat for my only son, so that he can eat enough and grow up healthy and happy. Working for the Rakshasa people, there is no way to catch enough prey in only five days, and more than half of the prey you get will be handed over to the Rakshasa people's tax collectors. This day is simply impossible.The woman couldn't help worrying about not having enough meat to survive the cold winter when winter came.

Seeing her son's yellowish face, the woman couldn't help but feel a pain in her heart. She sighed and secretly cursed the damn Rakshasa robbers. If it weren't for these robbers, their family's life should be happy and worry-free. .

"Why hasn't Dumu come back yet?"

After standing with her son for a while, the woman became a little worried about the man, so she picked up her son and walked out of the courtyard towards the distance.Today is the day when the man comes back. Usually at this time, he has already returned with the pitifully small amount of dried meat given by the Raksha people. Why hasn't he come back so late today?Yasko is not far away, but only a few miles away. The Raksha people let the men back at noon, and it takes less than half an hour for the man to return home from Yasko. Calculating the time, he should have been back long ago.

Did something happen to the road?The woman became more and more worried. The man was very punctual and cared about his family. Every time he got off work, he would rush home immediately and never stay in other places. Today, he did not come back for a long time, which made the woman She couldn't help but get nervous, she was a little scared.Ever since the Raksha people came, she had heard that many tribesmen were beaten to death by them, could it be?The woman didn't dare to think about it anymore, she didn't dare to imagine the situation where Du Mu was killed by the Raksha people.

The child noticed some changes in his mother's face, and gently hugged his mother's arm with his little hands, calling out to his mother in a childish voice, "Nurse, what's the matter?"

"It's nothing, Aggie."

The woman didn't want her son to be nervous, so she forced a smile at him, fixed her eyes on the road leading to Yask, hoping that Dumu would soon appear in sight, and walked away with his signature smile. He opened his hands to his son far away.

After a short wait, the woman's eyes suddenly lit up, because she saw her man was dead.

"Dumu! Dumu!"

"Abba, Abba!"

The woman and the child cried out at the same time, and the child struggled to jump out of the mother's arms, and quickly ran to his father.Seeing this, the woman didn't call her son, but just smiled at the man who was walking closer and closer from a distance.As the figure of the man got closer and closer, the woman's eyes suddenly froze, and the smile on her face froze instantly. She saw that there were many, many people behind the man.

"Is this your son?"

Zhao Qiang, who was riding behind Du Mu, saw a cute child galloping in front of him, and asked with a smile.Having recovered from the panic and uneasiness just now, Du Mu hurriedly nodded at Zhao Qiang: "General, that's the villain's son."

"Your son is very cute, what's his name?" Zhao Qiang lightly reined in his mount, and the horse took a few steps forward.

"Aji." Although the general in front of him was very kind, Du Mu still instinctively maintained enough respect for him, just like treating those Rakshasa people in Yask, his voice was always very low, and he didn't dare to increase the volume. And every time he answered the general's question, he kept his head down, not daring to look directly at him.

"Aji, Aji" Zhao Qiang repeated it several times and laughed, "Good name."

"Dad!"

Aji also saw that there were many people behind his father, but he had no other thoughts, he just wanted to get his father's hug as soon as possible.In Aji's young heart, his father's arms are as warm and safe as his mother's. People who are with his father are naturally good people, so he is not afraid of the uncles behind his father.

Seeing that his son was about to rush in front of him, Dumu subconsciously wanted to reach out to hug him, but just moved his hand, but suddenly retracted it, and lowered his head there nervously, not daring to move.

"Go and hug your son." Zhao Qiang, who was sitting on the horse, observed Du Mu's reaction and knew that this timid Daur man was afraid of himself and his subordinates.In order to let the Daur man lead the way with peace of mind, Zhao Qiang comforted him and said, "By the way, tell your wife that you are going to take us to Yask." Your wife will be on edge."

"Yes, General."

Hearing Zhao Qiang's words, Du Mu hesitated for a moment, then walked forward a few steps quickly, hugged Aji who was running over, hugged him in his arms, and lifted him up, his face was filled with a smile from the heart.After handing a pound of dried meat to Aji, Du Mu hugged him and walked towards the fence. When he came to his wife with a surprised face, he turned his head and handed Aji into his wife's arms. He said softly: "Don't be afraid, they are the army fighting the Rakshasa people."
