The Queen of the Prairie and I

On the green shade, beside the cliff, white eagles soar.

The soldiers of the An ethnic group ate the dried and shredded meat soup with wild vegetables. The pickled and dried meat added a lot of flavor to the soup.However, because we dare not light a fire, we can only soak it in cold water, but the taste is still much better than millet.Although the other three warriors, especially An Xiche, were reluctant, the eldest sister still insisted that I eat the same food as them, freeing me from the slave's poor diet.

"We are going to explore the road separately. I want to leave the road to the south to Li Zi." The eldest sister said, the rising sun and morning fog made the grassland look great.

"But I'm not very good at riding a horse," I said, and I told the truth.

"Can't ride a horse? Are you still a nomad?" An Xiche's words didn't seem to be sarcasm at me, but felt that I was lying.Maybe it's because my eldest sister has been supporting me, my confidence is not as low as it was a few days ago.

"I'm not, I was a captive, okay?" I said.An Xiche didn't expect me to talk back, and looked at me in surprise.It was obvious that she still treated me like a submissive slave.

"You..." An Xiche still wanted to say something, but the eldest sister hurriedly smoothed things over: "Forget it, don't waste your time. Since Li Zi can't ride a horse, then..." The eldest sister suddenly became speechless as she spoke. It's a shame to say the same thing. "...I take you?" she finally continued.

Of course it couldn't be better.

"No need, big sister, she will hold you back, let me do it, I'll take the plums." An Xiche suddenly said, standing between me and my big sister.

"Are you coming? But your relationship..."

"Don't worry, as long as you get along, it will be fine." An Xiche said.It was the first time I saw her talking nonsense with her eyes open, with a stiff smile on her face, it was so disgusting that I wanted to spit out the cold water I just drank.An Xiche turned his head and looked at me, his eyes were completely different.I didn't want to go with her at first, after all, she has been treating me with an unfriendly attitude these days.

But maybe it's because "adult" is not long?At that moment, I still accepted the result meekly according to the slave's usual thinking.Even at that moment, the eldest sister glanced at me, asking me with her eyes if she really confirmed that she wanted to do so.I'm still a little disappointed in myself, after all, I've only thought about making up my own mind in the past ten years, but never really done it.Just talking back was hard work for me.

"Then let me say it again. Since An Xiche and Li Zi are walking all the way, all of us will go in four directions together. No one will stay in place to guard the camp. Everyone should remember this plain. Two days at the latest, we must Go back the way you came, find out the way, don't attract people's attention, don't attract pursuers, that's it." She said.

Sitting on horseback is a very rare experience for me.After all, more often than not, I was grabbed and walked back and forth like luggage on horseback.But this time it is not sitting on the back of the horse, strictly speaking, it is behind the saddle, which is commonly referred to by nomads as sitting on the horse's buttocks.

An Xiche didn't say a word along the way, he was completely different from the sudden enthusiasm when he asked to take me with him.She doesn't really mind me hugging her from behind, after all, if I don't hug her, I might fall. When I got on the horse, I hugged her waist under the eyes of the elder sister. I didn't let go all the way, and I didn't dare to let go. , if she suddenly refuses to let me hug her, she will fall to her death.

Her waist is actually very thin, you can feel it even through the leather armor, it is tall and straight.It's completely different from the soft bodies of those tent slave sisters I used to have.He said he looked like a man, but in reality he wasn't very much like a man.The indescribable feeling made me feel deeply in my heart that maybe we are not the same kind of living beings.

I could see a handful of straight black hair exposed from under the leather helmet, which was tied behind An Xiche's head, like a ponytail.That hair is very similar to that of the son's fiancée who I served in the Baishan Tribe.Her jet-black hair was as straight as flowing water, even if it was simply tied behind her head, it did not affect its beauty in the slightest.

Her quiver is at her waist, facing backwards, so that it is easy to take the arrow without affecting the movement of her right hand.

Maybe now is the perfect time.When she suddenly hypocritically asked to take me, I missed the opportunity because of timidity.It should be made up now.

I let go of my hand, but she didn't notice.The horse was not galloping very fast, and the whistling airflow could not make people deaf.But it just covered my voice.My unnatural breathing from fear.

In this way, gently, an arrow was drawn from her quiver.She didn't notice either.

"Plum," she said suddenly.I was so scared that I almost dropped the arrow in my hand.

"I know you're not stupid, you just don't talk, you know how to read words and expressions, just like some of our smart sisters." An Xiche said.

"Eldest sister likes you very much. I don't know why. What does she like about you? Ever since she saw you, eldest sister has been abnormal. Things like the past two days about Cuckold would never have happened. Eldest sister took We've had it happen to us countless times, but she's never been this emotional."

I was wrong.I thought it was like some people I saw in the nomadic tribes, who kept flattering and echoed their voices, and even believed it at the end. They became slaves like me with all their heart and soul, but their titles were not slaves, and those tribal warriors’ followers, Anxi Che was just a follower of the elder sister, but in the end she showed the intention of blaming the elder sister.It is rare that she is not a follower.

"Did you see the big sister's horse at the beginning, so you did the bandaging thing, trying to use this to get rid of your slave status, thinking that you could follow the big sister back to Ailima and become an An tribe? We have seen a lot of female slaves, and when we saw the beauty of our An people, we wore out our headgear."

Is she thinking a little too much?At that time, who knew that "yellow tail" was the eldest sister's horse?Who knew that women were so high in the society of the Anzu, some people would wear their heads and want to squeeze them in?Although I haven't spent much time with the An people, I feel from the bottom of my heart that An Xiche might really be an outlier among the An people. At least her suspicious and long-winded appearance is more like that man from the Baishan tribe, not an An family warrior like the eldest sister. .

Maybe the eldest sister is the outlier in the An clan, and most of the An clan are actually more annoying like An Xiche?I don't know.

"If we meet the Bugud people later, I'll just exchange you for something. You can stay with the Bugud people and live a peaceful life. Since the grassland has been unified by the Bugud people, there shouldn't be any problems here. There's the sound of swords again. It's as good for you as it is for us, isn't it?"

I don't know why, but I feel angry.Because I have not been recognized as a person for too long, I may have forgotten many feelings and principles.But what she said made me feel angry today, who hoped to start being a human being.

Well done, An Xiche, I think the first day of adulthood made me feel the anger that a human being should have.

thank you.

Holding the arrow in my hand tightly, I wrapped one hand around her neck, and held the arrow against her throat with the other hand.Because she was still angry, she wanted to go up first, but in the end she pierced her neck.

An Xiche was taken aback, she must have never expected that I would come here.She didn't even notice that the quiver would be picked up by me, and just put me on the horse.Don't trust me but don't guard against me.Stupid girl, at least compared to your eldest sister, you are indeed not a qualified Anzu fighter.

Maybe it's too early to think so, An Xiche pulled the horse's head, and the horse raised its front legs and laughed.Following this, she slapped me in the abdomen with her elbow again, making my eyes go black, and I was about to fall off the horse.

The arrow of the arrow that hit her neck followed me off balance and cut a big gash from her neck to the back of her ear.I subconsciously grabbed her leather armor, and as a result, the two fell off the horse and fell to the ground together.

"You...you despicable slave! I should know that you have no good intentions!"

I lay on the ground and fell into a dizzy state. An Xiche who was beside me was already so angry that he wanted to tear me to pieces. Before he got up, he roared angrily.She was angry, and my anger was completely and spinelessly extinguished in front of her anger.

After I turned around with difficulty, I saw An Xiche standing up, covering the bloody wound on his neck with one hand, and holding a long sword in the other, walking towards me like a ghost.

When I was caught, maybe even the severed head would have to be a petal, so I crawled and ran away.In a panic, he fled with all his might towards the high ground on the grass.Probably because I finally had a decent meal in the morning, I found that I was not very tired from running, but just hurt from falling.

When I finally reached the end of the plateau, I saw a scene and stopped.

An Xiche, who was like a ghost, chased after him, and then also stopped.

The sword in her hand also fell to the ground with a clatter, and the ghostly grin was gone, only her mouth opened wide in surprise, or even panic.

At the end of the highlands, another stretch of plains can be seen in the distance.As far as the mountains in the distance, the huge plain is full of star-like yurts, figures, and herds.But there is no breath of life, only the air of chilling, people in armor and soldiers on horseback are as numerous as sand, moving around.The soldiers lined up were still holding guns, and the point of the gun reflecting the cold light was like a forest, and at first glance it was impossible to see the end.There is also the white eagle flag that can be seen flying everywhere, which is never forgotten.

Although the cuckolds were found, they were not herdsmen.It was the cuckold barracks, which was made up of tens of thousands of wolves and tigers, and was so large that it was terrifying.
