Passing through the station

Ruan Bai's life is getting better and better.

After reaching the big river, the Huns became more and more relaxed, and the faces of the slaves of the Zhou people no longer expressed the hope of returning.

They are walking along the river now, and they don't rush the schedule. They only walk for a certain distance every day during the warmest time, as leisurely as if they were on a green outing.Ruan Bai also had more time to teach Arti how to knit and knit.

The leader's wife has to take care of everyone's meals, so of course there is no way to take care of this, but when it comes to cooking, Artie will go over to help.Ruan Bai was also allowed to go there to help, and then he had many opportunities to get some leftovers.

These can only be regarded as kitchen waste for the Huns, but they are rare good things for slaves.When people are hungry, what they eat is the dragon meat in the sky.

Of course, all this happened with the leader's acquiescence.Now Ruan Bai will follow Arti to learn some of their words, even if he hides his clumsiness and looks at the slow progress, he can actually understand more and more words, as long as they don't speak too fast, he can already understand the general meaning.

According to the current speed, they will be able to reach the slightly narrower part of the big river in another ten days, where there is a shallow river that allows them to wade across.Then walk another five days to reach the destination this time. After reuniting with the tribe, attend the rally, and at the end of the rally, marry Arti off.

The time has come for the slaves to truly reflect their value. The more energetic they appear, the better they can be sold at a good price.

It's just that the leader's wife is becoming more and more reluctant to sell these slaves.

Although there is no shortage of water on the grasslands, there are not many times when large rivers and lakes can be encountered.Even though they are walking by the big river now, there is only a small stream where they really graze. In winter, it will be covered with thick ice. It is difficult to get water every day, let alone do the cleaning they are doing now. Wool work is gone.

After the wool is washed out, the weight itself is reduced, and after being twisted into wool, it is more convenient to carry.The leader's wife immediately made a decision to camp for a few days and leave after turning all the wool into wool. After all, she didn't want other people to know about the wool in a short time, not even people from the same tribe.

The leader will not interfere with this kind of family affairs.Walking so far, although the slaves have slowed down their pace, this place has long been in the hinterland of the grassland, and it is impossible for even the Zhou army to go deep into this position.A few slaves could not escape even if they had the guts to escape.

It's just such a decision that made the leader see Zhou Ren's ability.

His daughter has been learning for many days without knitting a decent yarn, but these Zhou people are almost able to do a decent job within a day or two of getting started.The leader was a little unbelieving, so he and his son Aqi, who was equally curious, tried it out by themselves, but none of the wool could reach the length of a palm.

Are these slaves still to be sold?The leader fell into deep thought.Their family is barely wealthy in the tribe. After going to Dazhou this time, they brought back a lot of goods, enough for them to organize a decent wedding, and let his daughter marry the Datribe in a glorious manner. warriors.

The son is still a little young, but he should also get ready.The son's wedding should be more grand, to prove that his family's life is better than in previous years.Participating in the war with the Great Zhou, getting rich is faster, and dying faster.But if these people are left behind, and then they go to buy wool from other people in the tribe, and then make it into clothes and sell it... Thinking about the price of the carpet, not only can a grand wedding be held for the son, but the life of the family will also be affected. can be greatly improved.

After the leader figured it out, he held a family meeting. Afterwards, the Huns looked at the slaves as if they were looking at a herd of cattle and sheep, and looked at Ruan Bai as if they were looking at a chicken that lays golden eggs.

The golden rooster soon got the second piece of sheepskin.At night, Ruan Bai consulted the leader's consent, tied two pieces of sheepskin to a wooden stick and tied them upright at the air vent.In this way, with twenty slaves huddled together, and covered by the flock of sheep, at least it would not be so cool when sleeping.

As for Ruan Bai himself, Chu Hao is simply a natural heater. Haven't you seen someone fall into the river in such a cold day and have nothing to do for a long time?

Chu Hao watched Ruan Bai nestle comfortably in the warmest place, just like a puppy.Under the body is no longer mud, which can even overwhelm sheep manure, but dry grass rolls.This time, no animal fodder was used, and the slaves collected it purely in their spare time.

There are not many other things on the grassland, but there is a lot of grass.Useless weeds are especially plentiful.

As long as it doesn't look particularly willful, it can be useful in Ruan Bai's hands.Taking advantage of the little time he has, he is doing various things by himself or leading others, and Caojuan is just one of them.But the other slaves didn't have straw rolls, so they had to stuff more straw mats on their bodies, and they had tattered cloth clothes outside, which could block the wind and keep them warm.

Of course, Chu Hao also pulled weeds. Every day, Ruan Bai, the contractor, gave more than the others. Occasionally, there were some wild vegetables, grass roots, etc., which didn't taste very good, but they were edible anyway.In addition, two of Ruan Bai's small cloth pockets were snatched away, and he saw Chu Hao sneaking something into them.

Ruan Bai, who was blocked from the Huns' line of sight, cooperated very well. Looking at Chu Hao's simple and honest face, the more he looked at it, the more he went against him.How come she looks so honest, she's obviously full of bad water.See what is collected here?He doesn't recognize it, but cattle and sheep do, and cattle and sheep avoid things they don't eat, so what good food can there be?

What's more, what this guy collected along the way was definitely more than what he saw. Even before he jumped into the river, he must have had a special purpose.

Sleeping at night was crowded with people, and in the morning, Chu Hao took the time to talk to Ruan Bai: "I have to go to the market with them, how about you?"

A slave, going to the market?Ruan Bai's heart sank, and he quickly made a decision: "Go home." Combining the information he had obtained in the past few days, he could roughly guess Chu Hao's purpose.He has no obligation to accompany him to go all out.Husband and wife are originally birds in the same forest, and when disaster strikes, they fly separately...Huh?As if the word should not be used this way.

A flash of pain quickly flashed in Chu Hao's eyes, which made Ruan Bai, who caught it, secretly startled.Due to the surveillance of the Huns, he couldn't do anything, so he could only say in a calm voice, "Okay, go home."

Why are these people slaves?They were all taken captive by the raging Huns after killing the old and the weak.The relatives who belonged to them have long been killed by the butcher's knife; the property that originally belonged to them has long since become the property of the Huns; the homeland that originally belonged to them has long been destroyed!

However, they still want to go home, even if their families are in danger, they still want to go back!

Ruan Bai blinked twice, unable to believe that this guy just left.He wants to go back to Dazhou, why don't you go to the market with him, if you want to go, give him the route map first?

Turning around, Chu Hao's chest was full of calculations.He believes that Ruan Bai has a rough plan, and he doesn't know how Ruan Bai can deal with these Huns, but if he is Ruan Bai, put himself in the shoes and think that if the purpose is to go home, then he will do it when crossing the river .

The big river is very wide. He tested it before, and even if it was close to the river bank, the current below was very turbulent.Although the river water will be shallower at the place where the river is crossed, but there are so many goods and people, and the number of Huns is not large, so they obviously can't take care of it, and the slaves will have less sight at that time.Regardless of the head and the tail, as long as Ruan Bai can occupy a more favorable position, it should not be difficult to grab a horse and run.

But if that was the case, why did Ruan Bai take care of these slaves?Out of brotherhood?He shook his head in his heart, when he couldn't even care about himself, how could he care about others?Therefore, these slaves must be useful to Ruan Bai.

Want to know the way back?After finally having a decent helper, he wouldn't let him go so easily.Ruan Bai wants to go home, so he will give him a home.

The original homeland is irretrievable, a good man kills the enemy and makes meritorious deeds, establishes a career and marries a wife, why worry about not being able to rebuild a homeland?With him around, no one would dare to tarnish his military achievements. If Ruan Bai was willing, he would be capable, so what if he was guaranteed an official position in the military camp?

Ruan Bai didn't know that he had messed with a scammer, his eyes were attracted by the girl washing by the river.

That's Artie.

As the Hun who has been with him the longest, he thinks he still knows a little about Ati.This girl is strong and resolute, stronger than many men in some ways.He still remembered seeing Ati arguing with his younger brother and future leader for his "dowry".

She was so persistent and persistent at the beginning; but after her father gave an order, she returned to the status of an obedient girl to be married who obeyed her father's order.But such a girl, would she really be so willing, without even complaining?

He hoped there would be no variables, but as many as possible had to be factored in.Arti is one, but what annoys him even more is another big change, big trouble——Chu Hao.

It's not that Chu Hao doesn't understand what he meant, but the current situation is that Chu Hao refuses to cooperate; in other words, the price he paid for cooperation is not enough.

Time was running out, and countless drafts he had prepared had already been shot.If he still cooperates with Chu Hao, it is obvious that everything will have to be overthrown and restarted.

He didn't have time to play around with Chu Hao, and whenever he found an opportunity, he asked, "What do you need?" He had to determine the price Chu Hao needed, whether it was worth his risk.If the price is really too high, then he would rather take a little more risk and go back on his own.Anyway, Da Zhou is always right in the south of the grassland.

Chu Hao gave him one word back: "You."

Ruan Bai: "!"

The author has something to say: Persimmon (ノへ￣,): You dislike me.

Xiaobai: Yes.

Persimmon (ノへ￣,): You are still "hmm"!

Xiaobai: Yes.

Persimmon (ノへ￣,): Then you still say that we are husband and wife, is that how you treat your husband?

Xiaobai: Huh?

Persimmon (ノへ￣,): Sure enough, I won’t cherish it if I get it. Back then...

Xiaobai (.＿°☆╲(-–): I had a bad time with you!
