Economic and Trade Song Dynasty

"I don't know if those two words are the moon of the moon and the peace of the peace, but my mother's name is that, and she was only 20 years old when she died. At that time, I was four and a half years old, and Gu Gu was only two and a half years old. Half a year later, my father was so sad that he wanted to go out with the people in the village, so he went to the Kingdom of Jin with the Zou family and took me with him. He planned to go to Lintao Mansion in summer to find his grandmother, but he met Mongolian soldiers. .”

Whether his mother was picked up by his grandmother, he didn't know, and the adults would not tell him these things.

But as long as he can remember, his mother has been looking at the north, she said that there is someone she cares about.

He didn't understand the affairs of adults, besides, he was just getting started at that time, so he didn't understand the sorrows of adults.

Qin Juan was a little flustered, he was afraid that Lin Chen'an would not believe him, so he was so nervous that his body tensed up.

Perhaps, he just simply wanted an uncle.a loved one.

He has not experienced the feeling of having a loved one for many years.

He almost forgot the feeling of being loved by his loved ones.

Unexpectedly, there was a moment of silence, a quarter of an hour before the wind swept through the sand.

Lin Chen'an hugged him tightly, choked with sobs and said, "I felt you were close at first glance..."

He was not bold all his life, he didn't dare to join the army, he didn't dare to do many things, but yesterday he was able to use up his courage to look back for this child.

No, I found a nephew.

It doesn't matter anymore, this is his nephew.

The wind in the Taklimakan Desert brought him the best gift in his life.

A piece of happiness.

Looking for the happiness of two generations.

However, their joy did not last long.

A sandstorm came.

He has encountered such sandstorms many times. When he arrived in Yaerqian, his whole body was gray, and he even felt that there was yellow sand between his toes...

When the strong wind hit, Lin Chen'an still hugged Qin Juan tightly.

Fortunately, it wasn't that appalling tornado, otherwise they would all have died here.

"...Uncle Shen..."

He yelled lightly like a mosquito.

Lin Chen'an looked at him, although the sandstorm was so big, he couldn't see Qin Juan's face clearly at all.

At this moment, he, a man in his 20s, was crying.

Maybe it was because he was tired of searching. His parents had been looking for his eldest sister and fourth sister since he could remember. Later, the eldest sister came back to give their family the greatest comfort. From the age of five, he followed his father to look for fourth sister everywhere, until his parents passed away one after another. My sister is still missing.

After 15 years, he was tired of searching.All expectations are wiped away by time...

At this moment, hearing this uncle, I suddenly felt complete.

"Uncle, let's get down quickly and protect the water bags and food."

Just as Qin Juan was talking, Lin Chen'an let go of him suddenly, and he crawled towards his horse, and he was relieved when he saw that the water bag was still there.

The sandstorm lasted for half a day, and after the sandstorm stopped, Lin Chen'an re-tied the water bag and dry food, and tied the knot.

Fortunately, both the man and the horse were fine, so I felt relieved and continued on my way.

Qin Juan never gets tired of calling the uncle he just met.

Shout when there is something to do, shout when there is nothing to do...

The night in the sand sea is difficult. You have to worry about sandstorms, beware of snakes and some poisons, and pay attention to the sudden drop in temperature.

Finally, after five days of walking in the sandy sea, they had only two water bladders left, only dried meat left in their dry food, and the horses had run out of hay.

They were to look for small rivers, preferably shallows with long grass.

Why did he not see anyone after walking for so long? Qin Juan began to wonder if they were going in the wrong direction.

At night, Lin Chen'an asked Qin Juan to drink water, but he could only take a sip, and he told Qin Juan that he had drunk it.

After walking like this for two more days, Qin Juan suddenly thought of a possibility.

At night, when Lin Shenan fell asleep, he checked the remaining two water bladders, one of which was empty.

Two days ago, they only had one water bag left, and the uncle told him that there were still two water bags left. In the past two days, the uncle didn't drink water at all...

Looking at the man sleeping beside the bonfire not far away, Qin Juan's eye sockets were swollen and painful.

After half a day of walking the next day, there was still no grass, let alone a source of water.

Qin Juan thought that if the direction was correct, they would have been able to reach the territory of Keshihaer in at most seven days.

What's more, they are traveling very fast.

Why is this happening?

Could it be that I went wrong...

Qin Juan immediately thought that when they encountered two large sandstorms a few days ago, they got in the wrong direction.

"Uncle, we may have already passed by." He meant that they had already passed Kesihar, but the direction had deviated greatly.

The reason why he said this is because they walked very fast, and it was impossible to have such a large area of ​​desert in Kashhar. When he was 11 years old, it didn't take so many days to walk here.

So it is very likely that they have already passed through Keshihar and reached the desert northeast of Keshihar.

If they don't react and keep devoting to the northeast, they will enter the interior of the sea of ​​death. There is a hundred miles of sand there. For thousands of years, no one can hold it there for more than ten days. If they really go in, they will died there.

The center of the Sea of ​​Death is the core area of ​​the Tarim Basin.

It's terrible. If you don't react and walk for another day, the consequences will be unimaginable.

After listening to Qin Juan's explanation, Lin Chen'an felt that they had gone northeast, so they have been exploring the deepest part of the desert for the past two days?Thinking of this, Lin Chenan's face turned pale.

"If we go to the southwest, there must be rivers or villages, and we should miss it not too far."

It's not that Qin Juan is sure that there will be a village if he goes southwest, it's just a gamble on luck.

There is only the last bit of their water left, and they don't drink it just to give them the belief to live.

Their physical strength and that of their horses could only last them a day or two.

Going southwest or going northwest, there are only two options.

But the northwest, the northwest of Keshihar is the extension of the Dayin Mountains, where it is extremely cold, there are not many herdsmen, and the villages are usually far away to see or even not.

Anyway, it's already like this, so I can only gamble.

After walking southwest for a whole day, they encountered a sandstorm again. This time their dry food bag was lost in the yellow sand...

There were still a few pieces of untouched jerky in there.

Fortunately, the last water bag was not lost, but there was only a little bottomed water left.

There was a tacit understanding, and they left their last sip of water, because this was their last hope.

Time is passing, physical strength is fading, and the horse is getting slower and slower.

And Huangsha still seems to have no end in sight...

The yellow that makes people dizzy, the sand that makes people desperate.

Too tired, Qin Juan thought that he might really not be able to hold on any longer, and his horse was the same, too tired to move its legs, and from time to time let out a few pitiful neighing sounds.

What should he do, what should uncle do...

He didn't want to die, let alone his uncle.

Finally his horse fell, and Qin Juan fell to the ground with a bang.

He didn't hear his uncle shouting from behind: "Qin Juan...there is a grassland in front of him, I can see the grassland...Qin Juan!"

When Qin Juan's horse fell to the ground and Qin Juan was thrown out, Lin Chen'an's pupils trembled.

"Qin Juan!"

He almost fell off the horse, and ran towards Qin Juan scrambling.

"Qin Juan! Qin Juan! Qin Juan..."

The blood at the corner of his mouth couldn't stop flowing, Lin Chen'an didn't know where Qin Juan was hurt, he could only instinctively wipe Qin Juan's blood...

Qin Juan, who was in a coma, flashed a picture in his mind. He didn't know if it was a dream from the past or a dream from the present... This dream is so real.

That day, he pierced Bobonu's lower abdomen with an arrow, and Bobonu slapped him, shattering his internal organs.

Why would he have such a dream before he died...

He also dreamed that he kissed Zhao Huaizhi's chin.

It turned out that the person he was thinking about before he died would be...

Zhao Huaizhi.

Lin Chen'an had never felt that he could cry so much. He couldn't stop Qin Juan's blood, and he didn't bring painkillers. After being frightened out of his wits, he picked up Qin Juan and ran towards his horse.

The front is the grassland, there should be villages, there will be herdsmen...

After running for three miles, Lin Chen'an saw houses scattered on the grassland.

"Help...help..." Lin Chen'an shouted with all his remaining strength...who can save them.

If the child dies, what is left in his life.

He said that he would take Qin Juan to Hexi, where he could make calculations for merchants and save money to open a small private school to be a teacher. He really wanted to raise this poor child.

They still have a lot of ideas. When they have saved enough money, they will go to Korea to find a boat to go to the Song Dynasty, and they will also find a place called Qushui Bridge...

Qin Juan was only 13 years old and still so young, how could he die so young.

Why...you did this to him.

"Don't move and stand there and don't come over, or we'll shoot you to death!" An old man held a bow and shouted at him. Although his voice was scary, his whole body was trembling.

Not long ago, an army came, and the few strong men left in the village were taken away, along with more than half of the cattle and sheep. Only old women and children under the age of ten were left in the village.

Lin Chen'an didn't care so much, and shouted at the old man: "I have money... Please, save him... save him..."

The old man's trembling hand might shoot the arrow at any moment, and after staring into Lin Chen'an's eyes for a long time, he asked, "Aren't you soldiers?"

"We're not soldiers, we're people who got lost in the desert, we..." Lin Chen'an's voice was so hoarse that he could hardly make a sound, he still shouted with all his might.

After a long stalemate, the old man finally lowered his bow, and a few women not far behind the old man let out several shrill screams.

They are objecting, they don't want the old man to pass.

The old man looked back at them, and told those women to go home, or stand a little further away, while he walked towards Lin Chen'an.

"Come down and put the person in your arms on the ground." Ten steps away from Lin Chen'an, the old man said.

Lin Chen'an naturally did not dare to let Qin Juan go, and he was also afraid that the old man would do something to Qin Juan.

"Don't worry, I won't kill him. As long as you don't hurt us, I won't do anything to you, but if you are a bad person, I will definitely kill you." The old man said.

Lin Chen'an was silent for a while, but got off his horse, and put Qin Juan on the ground as the old man said.

The old man smiled: "Okay, now I believe you, officers and soldiers will not be so obedient, and deserters will not."

It turned out that when Lin Shenan said that he was not a soldier, the old man worried that he was a deserter, and harboring deserters was also a crime.

There must be no soldier left in a village like theirs.

It's just that Qin Juan hasn't told Lin Chen'an his true identity, and he is also a soldier.

"This child is seriously injured, please carry him into my house, and your complexion is ugly..." the old man said and walked to the house not far away.

This is the old village chief of Mutar Village, in his 70s, who knows a little bit of witch doctor skills and often treats the villagers. Everyone in the village only listens to him.

Putting Qin Juan on the couch, the old man asked his wife to boil hot water, and he checked Qin Juan's body.

"He should have suffered serious internal injuries, but someone saved his life with good medicine, but if he is young, he will still vomit blood when he is hit by a heavy external force, but don't worry, he won't die Yes... I'll rub his body with a stone first, and then feed him medicine after a while."

Rubbing the body with stones, this kind of therapy has never been heard by Lin Shenan?

"You have to trust him, he has cured people for a lifetime." The old village chief's wife came in with hot water and said to Lin Chen'an with a smile.

Lin Chen'an felt that if he didn't believe it, there was no other way. He couldn't find any other villages within a radius of tens of miles.

"Your complexion is very bad, you should eat something first, don't worry too much." The old village head said to Lin Chen'an again.

When Lin Chen'an was eating, he saw the old village chief put a stone that had been scalded by hot water on Qin Juan's body.

He doesn't know much about this therapy, and vaguely feels that it has something in common with acupuncture.

Miraculously, after the village head rubbed Qin Juan's body with stones, Qin Juan stopped vomiting blood.

Only then did Lin Chen'an feel relieved, and his face returned to normal.

After giving Qin Juan the medicine, the village chief Muta'er said to Lin Chen'an, "His pulse has returned to normal. Just wait for him to wake up. You can go to the room next door to rest."

"Thank you, village chief, I want to spend more time with him." Lin Chen'an said with a sob.

The village chief could understand his mood, so he packed up his things and went out.

Lin Chen'an wiped off the blood on Qin Juan's face with the remaining hot water.

After washing it, it is still the beautiful child.

He was born really well, the more he looks the better he is.

She looks like a baby in her sleep, innocent and harmless, ignorant of worldly affairs.

After taking care of Qin Juan, Lin Chen'an went to sleep.

At dawn the next day, Lin Chen'an just got up and put on his clothes, and was about to see Qin Juan.

At this time, the village chief Muta'er rushed in and said to him in a panic: "You hide quickly, they are here to arrest people!"

Before Lin Chen'an could react, he was pulled towards the backyard by the village head of Muta'er.

"Hide in the latrine. Don't come out, and don't make any noise. I hope they won't take our cattle and sheep this time, so they won't come to the backyard to search."

Only then did Lin Chen'an realize that the army had come to arrest him, and he asked, "But what about my nephew..."

The village head replied: "They won't touch people who can't walk. Your nephew hasn't woken up yet. They won't take him away. What you should worry about now is yourself. You must hide and don't come out, otherwise The gods are here and cannot save you!"

Lin Chenan nodded in fear.

The villagers also noticed that the army that came this time was different from the ones that came a few days ago. The equipment this time seemed to be very good and shiny, and even the horses were wearing vests. It should be different from the army that came last time.

The head of Mutar village said to the team leader: "There are no strong men in our village, only children..."

Unexpectedly, the person in charge said, "Children? We just want children."

"Call all the boys in the village." He ordered his soldiers again.

"They are all just children..." the old village chief said tremblingly.

"Since you don't cooperate, let my people go into the village and arrest them, come!" As soon as the man shouted, a group of people came out.

The old village chief knelt down: "You can't do this, the oldest of them is only ten years old, you can't do this, please let us go... Please..."

"Ten years old? In our battalion, there are five or six-year-olds marching with them, and ten-year-olds are no longer children." The man on the horse raised the corners of his lips cruelly and almost cold-bloodedly.

The children were quickly captured by the soldiers, and suddenly a group of women who chased them out cried all over the sky...

"My lord, there is another child lying on the bed. The military doctor has seen that he has been seriously injured and has not woken up yet," said the soldier.

"There is no need to report this kind of thing to me. How many times have I said that it is a waste of food for people who don't want it. Count the number of people and take them away."

"Yes."

"No, I don't want to go! I don't want to go! I don't want to go! Ahhhhhh! I won't go! Ahhhh!"

Suddenly a child yelled like crazy.

The old village chief knew at a glance that the child might have been frightened mad the moment he was arrested.

"My lord, please let him go..."

Before the old village chief finished speaking, the child suddenly rushed towards the soldier like crazy and bit his hand.

Instinctively, the soldier raised his whip and whipped it fiercely. The child spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground, convulsing for a while, unable to move anymore.

"My child! What's wrong with you, child!" The woman rushed out and knelt down in front of the child and shouted.

After the child fell to the ground, he turned over Baiyin, blood flowed out of his mouth, kicked his legs twice and then remained silent.

"Dead, he's dead..." I heard someone say that.

The village chief staggered over and probed the tip of the child's nose. He didn't know whether he was frightened or too nervous, so he missed his breath. His legs softened and he sat on the ground.

The child's mother passed out from crying.

Immediately, the people in the army also panicked. They should have never encountered such a thing.

"Take...take those few away, give each family ten taels of silver, and let's go quickly." The adult leader of the team ordered in a low voice, a little dazed.

"I don't want money, you give me back my child! You give me back my child!"

"Please, we don't want money, don't take them away... Please." The cries of the women resounded through the sky.

The screams of children, the cries of women... were intertwined in my ears.

At this moment, a man in gray clothes and wearing a scarf appeared in front of them.

For a moment, everyone was silent.

Lin Chen'an, who was trembling all over, came out. He suppressed his resentment, looked at the leader of the army calmly, and said to him, "Take me for these seven children."

The leader was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly, and when he was about to speak, Lin Chenan said: "I can speak Chinese, Mongolian, and Huihui."

The leader said with a smile: "I have one of my men who can do this, and one idler like this is enough."

In fact, when Lin Chen'an stood up and said these words, he thought it was very funny, and his intuition told him that this person was unusual.

Seeing that he answered his words, Lin Chenan knew that this person was willing to discuss with him, at least he was a little curious about him.

He knew that he should honestly hide in the latrine, regardless of whether they captured these children... This would be good for him and Qin Juan, and there is nothing happier than being with relatives.

However, he couldn't do it.

I am sorry for ten years of hard study and the education he has received.

If he stood up, he would be a good uncle, and he would be worthy of being Qin Juan's uncle.

"I know the art of smelting, is this okay?" He finished calmly, but what others didn't notice was that his hands in his sleeves were trembling.

This is the real reason why he chose to leave his hometown and go into exile.

To find his sister, he doesn't need to join the caravan, what he needs is to deceive others, and besides, he doesn't use the real name Lin Chen'an in the caravan.

After the Mongols destroyed the gold, the Mongols governed Hexi, and he was targeted by the new high officials, so he chose to leave his hometown.

The Lin family has been studying smelting techniques for more than three generations, and they can create a "white iron" that is harder and consumes less ore.

The Lin family made iron for their livelihood and interest, and did not want it to be used by the government. It would only be used in the military on a large scale, and more people would die.

He didn't want to, so he could only escape from the sight of those who paid attention to him.

But today, he actually confessed his details...

Sure enough, he saw a gleam in the eyes of the leading adult.

After a long time, the leader ordered his soldiers: "Let the children go."

"You, come with us." He looked at Lin Chen'an and said in a deep voice.

"Give me some time and I'll have a few words with the village chief." Lin Chen'an's heart began to ache.

"Go quickly." The leader said with a rare good temper.

Lin Shen'an said to the village head: "Muta'er village head, if my nephew wakes up, please tell him that his uncle loves him very much... Uncle is not a great person, nor does he want to be a great man It's just that uncle doesn't want to watch six or seven children who are only ten years old being taken away...Since uncle is here, he can't do it after seeing this scene, watching these children being taken away."

Muta'er Village wiped away tears and said, "I will explain to your nephew every single word..."

"This is all my belongings, you keep half, and give the other half to my nephew..." He handed his burden to the village head.

"We don't want your things and leave them to your nephew. You saved our whole village. It's too late for us to be grateful to you. The children will remember you, and your nephew will be fine, woo woo woo..." The old man cried like a child.

Lin Shen'an glanced at the window of Qin Juan's room and turned away. He was afraid, he was afraid that he would not have the courage to leave...

The leading adult stared at this elegant and delicate man for a long time.

In his opinion, Han men are very strange. They are obviously not tall and strong, so why do they have a courage that no one is afraid of.

Perhaps, it is the inner strength.

Qin Juan woke up in the middle of the night, and when he opened his eyes, his eyes were pitch black, like Abi Hell...

He really thought he was dead, but suddenly saw the moonlight shining in front of the window.

Will there be moonlight in hell?

He thought so, but he also noticed that something was wrong. Why was he lying under the quilt, and his chest hurt... Can the dead be sentient?

He wanted to sit up to see if he had become a ghost, but when he sat up, his forehead happened to touch the bell hanging above his head...

"Jingle bell... Jingle bell..."

Hell is really interesting, is this an accessory of black and white impermanence?what do you say that is?Soul lock bell?

It seems to be such a name.

"...cough cough." He tried to make a sound, but it turned out that he could still speak.

It's not bad to think about being a ghost...

Hearing the bell, the old village head and his wife got up. It was the fourth watch, and they hung the bell over his head because they were worried that the child would wake up suddenly.

Qin Juan also heard footsteps, saying that it is impossible not to be afraid, after all, this environment is too much like a hell... eerie.

When the village chief and his wife came in with a lamp, Qin Juan blinked his eyes twice, and what was reflected in the light were two wrinkled faces, and the expressions on the faces did not know whether they were laughing or crying...

Qin Juan hesitated for a moment before starting to scream.

When he called, the old couple also screamed in fright.

"..." Qin Juan was speechless, realizing that something was wrong, how could a ghost be frightened?

After all, the village head is a piece of old ginger. After being frightened, he staggered over: "Qin Juan, you are awake... I am the village head of Muta'er Village... Are you still feeling well now? What do you want to eat and drink? You can tell me everything."

Only then did Qin Juan realize that he was not dead, he must have been rescued by the village chief, and he didn't know how long he had been asleep.

Thinking that he thought he had entered the underworld just now, his ears felt hot.

After being confused for so long, Qin Juan suddenly thought of Lin Shen'an, grabbed the village chief's wrist nervously, and exclaimed, "Where's my uncle!"

He saw that the village chief was serious, and he seemed to want to say something and didn't know how to say it.

Qin Juan inevitably became suspicious. Could it be that his uncle was not rescued?

His heart tightened, it's impossible!

"Village Chief, have you ever met my uncle, a fair man in his 20s..." Qin Juan's nervous heart jumped into his throat, and he couldn't speak clearly.

The village chief was conflicted. During the day, several elderly people in his village gathered together to discuss it. Someone suggested that if the child woke up, they would say that they had rescued him from the desert, but he did not see his uncle.

The offer would save the village from trouble, and the others feared that the kid would retaliate against them.

After all, his only relative was taken away because of the children in the village.

And they're foreigners, which shouldn't be the case.

but……

The village chief's wife tugged at the village chief's sleeve and begged, "Just tell him the truth, he has the right to know, and his uncle is also here to save the children in the village."

Finally, the village head took a deep breath and told Qin Juan everything about Lin Shen'an and what Lin Shen'an had said.

After listening to the village chief's narration, Qin Juan didn't say a word.

He sat on the bed like a child who lost his soul.

"Don't be too sad. We will give you everything your uncle left behind. You can stay here and wait for him to come back, or..." The village chief didn't finish speaking, but was dragged away by his wife.

"Don't say a few words, the child is suffering...you leave him alone." The village chief was dragged out, and the village chief's wife left the lamp in the room and closed the door.

The moment they went out, Qin Juan broke down in tears.

All the grievances, the hardships and tribulations of the past eight years, all turned into tears that broke the embankment.

Why did you do this to him!He has just owned it and is about to experience such a cruel loss!

Since you want to take it away!Then don’t let the wind and sand in the Taklamakan Desert bring his uncle, then don’t let his uncle be kind and kind...

He would rather Lin Chenan be more selfish, he would rather be cruel...

why!

why?

Why……

However, he also understood that if it was him, Huhu, and Zhao Huaizhi who stood in front of those soldiers yesterday, they would do the same...

It is precisely because they are the same kind of people that they are happy with each other.

In the sadness of breaking the dike, his emotions tended to calm down.

It is precisely because of such little love and great love that he can't forget Huhu and Zhao Huaizhi.

Cong Huhu said to him: I came from the west and saw the floating corpses everywhere. When the blood on the ground was redder than the sunset in the sky that day, he always wondered why some people can be so broad as to love everyone.

At that time, he hated the injustice and filth of the world, he didn't love people, because no one loved him...

And the appearance of Huhu dragged him in the darkness to the light again.

Even if you are trapped in the quagmire, you can still have compassion for the world, establish your life for the people, and bring peace to all generations.

He had never understood such a pattern before he was ten years old.

Boya Wuhuhu's words may have changed his life.

So he kept Huhu in mind, tied him together, and wanted to find the whereabouts of Huhu...

He didn't know how Huhu felt when he lost the seven retainers of Boyawu, but he knew that Huhu would not be depressed, he would look at all this with compassion, maybe he felt sorry for him, but he always grew towards the sun.

In the past year, I searched for Huhu and Zhao Huaizhi, and now more people are looking for my uncle.

Only when there is a relationship can there be motivation to become stronger.

The next day, when the village head and his wife were making breakfast, the children from the next door ran over and told them that Qin Juan had let all the sheep in the sheepfold go.

The village head was so frightened that all the cutting knives fell to the ground.

"My mother said that Qin Juan was going to sell your sheep and go to the army to buy back his uncle, and he also asked about the army everywhere, but we didn't know the name of the army. We only said that the army was going south." Er Lengzi told them.

"Oh, by the way, Gawa woke up last night and was not beaten to death by the soldiers, but she seemed to be really crazy." The second fool said again.

The old couple were not frightened to death by the news. The village chief was busy looking for Yang, and the old woman was busy going to Ga Wa's house to see Ga Wa.

Qin Juan didn't expect to make such a big oolong!

So he was a little shameless and sat on the hillside in a daze.

Sitting sitting a child came towards him.

Qin Juan had never seen this before. After all, after he woke up, all the children in the village came to see him, and they all brought what they thought was the best thing to thank his uncle for saving their lives and the lives of their loved ones.

The child was born black and thin, although the facial features are not exquisite, and the lips are even turned out but deep and three-dimensional, so the overall look is not ugly.

"My name is Ga Wa." The child sat beside him.

Qin Juan thought it sounded familiar, and immediately remembered it. The village chief grandma said that there was a child who was injured by the soldiers and mistakenly thought dead because of the army's appearance, but came back to life but went crazy. This is Gawa.

Qin Juan looked at Ga Wa in amazement, and after a long time, said clearly, "Are you not crazy?"

Gawa didn't answer directly, but asked him instead: "Do you know why there are always troops in our place to arrest people, but no one here dares to leave?"

Qin Juan was about to ask this question. It was strange that there was an army here to arrest people. Wouldn’t it be fine to just move to another place?Why live here and wait for the army to come and catch people?

"You also find it strange?" Gawa smiled darkly, "Because the people here believe that the mountain god of Dayin Mountain created this place, they have been the most loyal believers of the mountain god all their lives. They can't leave, otherwise they will become animals in their next life. They will never leave for the rest of their lives, unless they are captured by the army, so the mountain god will forgive them for leaving."

Qin Juan felt that this child was different from the children in the village.

"Then you?" Qin Juan looked at him.

Gawa was stunned for a moment, sat closer, and said in a low voice: "You can't guess it, I want to leave here, my mother will definitely not let me go, she is afraid of the spell of the mountain god, but I am not, I will You must go, you will die if you join the army, but you won’t die if you leave, people will die if they move living trees.”

Qin Juan felt that this Gawa really had something...but he couldn't help asking: "Then who will take care of your mother?"

"My family has seven children, and my mother and stepfather gave birth to five. They will take care of her, so I don't worry. I only worry that I can't leave after thinking about it for so long." Wollen.

Qin Juan: "What about your own father? Was he captured by the army?"

Gawa suddenly looked at the grassland in the distance: "Well, when he was captured by the army, he told me and my brother that we must escape. I was only four years old at the time, and I wanted my brother to take me to escape, but my brother didn't dare. I was arrested by the army again, so from the moment my brother was taken away, I made up my mind that I must leave here before the age of 12 and never come back again, hehe, I didn’t expect that the children arrested by the army were getting younger and younger, From a 12-year-old to a ten-year-old..."

Qin Juan was silent for a while: "I won't tell others, but if you want to escape, please run away after I leave here, otherwise if you go with me, it will be suspected that I took you away."

"Don't worry, I won't leave with you, but do you have any money, lend me some, and I will pay you back later..." Ga Wa said.

"..." Qin Juan finally understood, and he took out half a piece of horseshoe silver and gave it to him, "You'd better settle down with a house first, because if you have a house, you can do business and develop."

Gawa took it with a blushing face: "Thank you, you and your uncle are good people, no, they are the best people I have ever met."

Qin Juan was silent, and the roots of his ears were red again.

"By the way, you probably don't want to sell the sheep, why did you release all the sheep?" Ga Wa asked.

Qin Juan blushed: "I got up early and stared at the sheepfold in a daze. The sheep in the sheepfold looked at me, and I looked at them. I looked at them and somehow felt that they seemed to be begging me. The more I looked at their big watery eyes I thought it was begging me, so I opened the sheepfold... As a result, they rushed out like crazy, I didn't know what to do, I could only go to find them one by one..."

Gawa laughed loudly and said, "Pfft ha ha ha ha ha... I've never seen you so silly."

After laughing, Gawa asked again: "By the way, they said that you are inquiring about the army. Are you going to find your uncle?"

Qin Juan nodded.

Ga Wa said: "You have lent me money and you are my brother. I know one thing. The army came from the north that day, because my father and my brother were both taken away. I kept paying attention when I was herding sheep." The movement, the army that came that day was different from the group of people who were closest to them before. Their army equipment was better, and even the horses were covered with a lot of armor, only the big eyes of the horses were exposed. At that time, I thought this should not be an ordinary army. , you might as well start from the army that gave the horse armor."

If others heard that he was going to look for his uncle, the kind-hearted people would definitely say that there is no need to look for it. Those troops are very powerful, and if you go there, you will only die.

But Ga Wa didn't say that, because Ga Wa knew that Qin Juan would not give up.So he pointed out to Qin Juan the special features of the army.

The army that Qin Juan wants to give horse armor is indeed small, which also shows that this army is rich.

"Thank you Gawa."

"You don't need to thank me. By the way, I will pay you back the money. I will definitely be rich in the future."

"You will, I believe you, but have you figured out where to go?"

Ga Wa thought for a while: "I want to go to Tibet to visit some cities (now Lhasa)."

Qin Juan froze for a moment: "Did you suffer from the extreme cold there?"

Gawa: "I can get used to it after living a few more years, I'm still young."

"Uh-huh."

As the sun set, the pleasant conversation ended, and the two went to their respective homes.

Three days later, farewell to the head and villagers of Muta'er Village, Qin Juan rode on his uncle's horse and took all his uncle's belongings, and set foot on the road to Keloha'er.

The last conversation with Ga Wa before leaving, Ga Wa said that he will leave here at the end of next month, when it gets dark, they will think he has entered some mountain forest
