As they hurried back to their lodgings with the rest of the sheep, Yama and Lamm came out smiling, and Rathsi untied the dish from its haunches and handed it to Lamm. "You can have some vegetables today," he said.
Rahm doesn't answer, but pulls me aside and says, "Here's something for you to see."
From his sleeve, he secretly unfurled something that looked exactly like the one he had received at the market. Lamm tentatively asked, "Wanyi?"
I shook my head and said softly, "No, it's Yun Kaiqiu."
Rahm and Yama looked at the portrait and would have known that it was they who had wiped me clean of all my filth. I hadn't become what I am now, even though I was weak from illness, but I still resembled the portrait fifty to sixty percent.
He knew there was no need to keep it a secret. I raised my face and sighed, looking at her in a pitiful way. Finally, I gritted my teeth and said, "I'll leave here, Lamb."
"Who wants you to leave, child? If you like it, you can live here." She laughed, "No one will chase you away unless you want to leave by yourself. We all like you to come here, child. You aren't like the dignified and noble Yun Wanyi in the painting at all. You are a child."
I took her hand and shook it coquettishly. Good Lam, I want to sweet-talk them to death.
"What are those shameless people saying? Hurry up and bring the dishes in to wash and cook." Zaitsi was shouting, really jealous, because Lamm and Yama were better to me than he was.
I glared at Zatecki and complained to Lamm, "Lam, Zateci is so bad. He always bullies me. Don't put salt in his dishes anymore."
"Alright." "Put everything in your bowl."
"Ah, Lamb. Yama, you see Lam bullying me too. " I immediately complained to another kindly old man. Yama smiled at the sight of her missing teeth, her eyes soft as spring.
I carried the vegetables in to wash and cut. Smoke lingered, bringing with it the scent of human fireworks. Of course, there was no such thing as not giving him salt. Zaitsi still doted on me, and he knew that there was nothing else in my eyes, and he would not force me to do anything. And he knows I like vegetables, and every time I go to the market, he brings them back for me to eat.
There's always a lot of fighting to eat, and Zaitsi always robs me of it.
Frowning, I put down my chopsticks and asked, "Lamm, why does Zatsi hate me so much? Always fight with me for everything. "
Zaitsi was still gleefully shoveling away at the food.
Yama laughed and said, "That's because he is a child and wants to be loved. That's why he wants to compete with you. Little beauty, don't blame him. He is just an awkward child."
I burst out laughing, and Zaitsi, his face red and his neck rough, said, "I'm not going to be with you women. I'll go out and raise the sheep."
"Yea, I won. He's gone. Yama, you are awesome."
It was not that he was heartless, but he had slowly gotten used to it. Some words were too ambiguous and ambiguous.
Fortunately, no one came to investigate the situation in the past few days, and I think these people were just asking about it.
After sleeping for a while, the sky had turned gold. I slipped off the wooden bed I had temporarily set up and ran out without my shoes.
How beautiful it was, the soft golden light at the end of the green, the horses galloping, the cattle slowly coming back, the sheep bleating softly. Barefooted on the prairie, my toes relaxed and enjoyed my freedom. I closed my eyes and blew the wind, which lifted all my hair. I raised my hands and felt the wind blowing from one side of my sleeves to the other.
He then walked step by step with his eyes closed: "Ah." After a scream, I fell onto the grass on all fours again. The bleating was right next to me, and it made me sick.
"I'm back." I stood on the slope with my hands cupped around my mouth and shouted.
My voice echoed around the world, clear and bright.
"Time to go back," Zatechi would say from a distance.
As the sun set and he rode out from the light, a smile formed on my lips. "Come on, brother Zatsi, the horse is going to run away."
What a wild horse! The horses were so excited today, did they really want to leave every day?
Zaitsi's horse riding skills were quite good, so he whipped his horse to catch it.
"Miss! Miss!" Someone on the other side was calling to me.
I turned and saw three or four military figures waving and calling me from below. I didn't want to go down, I shouted, "Zatsi, come here."
"Miss, don't be afraid. We won't hurt you. We're just asking you a few questions." As the men drew closer, I looked back and saw that Zaitsi was already on his horse this way. "What do you want?" I asked.
"Miss, take a look. Have you seen this girl before?" They approached and raised a portrait at the foot of the slope.
Didn't you already check it out? Why do you keep going on and on about it? He was investigating it very carefully. He believed that I was living in this part of the Northwest.
"No, no." I cried out, and even looked at them defensively.
"Miss, there's no need to examine it. Think about it carefully. If you were to accidentally see it somewhere and don't have any impression of it, you will get a considerable amount of silver."
"I already said that I've never seen it before, are you guys done yet?" I cried out in a bad temper. They were looking for me everywhere, and they didn't leave anything behind. They also searched the market, and they even came to this remote place a second time.
Those people sighed and said, "Miss, don't be angry, it's all because of us. If we don't find it, all of the people in the northwest, including our Third Marquis, will be very unlucky. The reward given is very high, and there's no need to verify it.
"What are you doing?" "What are you doing? Go away."
"Just a person. "If you find out, please tell us. There will definitely be a reward." Those people turned around regretfully, walked a few steps and said, "Oh, I forgot to inform you guys of something. Those people turned regretfully, walked a few steps and said," Oh, I forgot to inform you guys of something.
"Thank you." Zaitsi thanked him for the matter.
They rode on again, heading for the next place. I sat down on the grass and said, "What to do? More and more people are looking for me?"
"What are you doing? You want to be lazy? "Don't think that I wouldn't tell you to do things without your shoes on. Hurry up and go back. Otherwise, don't expect a meal tonight. You'll die from the discomfort of eating a cake."
"A stingy Balala man." I scolded him in Beijing.
He frowned. "What did you say?"
"It's nothing. It's fine if you don't understand. He went to drive the sheep." Fortunately, not all words could be understood.
However, I had a bad premonition in my heart. I felt that he would arrive very soon. He locked me in the northwest and then on this little piece of land. How big can it be? How long can I hide? I need to get out of here before I hurt Zatsi and the good Ramyama.
I couldn't sleep if I thought about it. The tent wasn't very airy and smelled like cattle and sheep. Even after staying here for two months, I was still not used to the smell.
Grabbing the blanket to get out of the tent, I felt dark eyes staring at me from the darkness. I raised my head to look at the dark prairie, where there were sparks of torches at the end of the darkness, getting brighter and brighter.
Something terrible had happened. Who was it that had come? I was about to rush in to tell Zaitsi, but then I felt my waist tighten, and something cold pressed against my neck, and I was dragged back by someone. It was a solid chest, and my heart skipped a beat, and I heard a low voice in my ear saying, "Don't move, don't scream."
Some spoke in the Northwest tongue, but some were unfamiliar. His body also had the scent of a prairie, but it wasn't Zatsi. The aura of ill intent was very strong, and the cold dagger was pressed against my neck, almost to the point where it could pierce through my bones with a single breath.
I nodded obediently, and he dragged me inside, his dark eyes peering out defensively like a wolf's.
The hooves grew closer and closer and the fire grew brighter and brighter. The wind blew through the little window and they heard the dogs and the horses and became uneasy.
When Zaitsi came out with his broadsword, Lamm and Yama woke up and called out to me, "Little beauty."
"Speak." Behind my ear, he whispered, and the hot breath was very uncomfortable on my neck.
"I'm fine, I think I heard someone coming. Lamu, I'm scared, I'm not going out." I don't know who the people behind me are, but they shouldn't be able to harm me, otherwise he would have already killed me from the start.
Lamm said, "You stay in the house. Don't come out."
I heard them shouting, "How many people are there?" The men and women, whatever their names are, will remember them all. "
Zatsi said, "Four."
"And the other one?" "Come out, everyone come out."
It must have been for me again, but the people behind me seemed to be relieved and no longer held me back.
"My sister is sick," I heard Zaitsi say with a fawning smile. "It's not right to blow the wind. General, please forgive her. Don't let her get worse."
Then a loud voice said, "Zatsi, four, two mama, one sister. "If there is a woman who has a secret treasure, take Zatsi away. If there is a woman who has a secret treasure, kill her entire clan.
My heart hurts. From the bounty to the nine familial extermination, this is really a good move.
The man had dragged me to the bed, and he had lifted a thin blanket over us, and he was under me, and I was lying on top of him, and the blanket was surrounded by long, soft hairs, but it was thin in the middle and very large, and if you didn't look closely you couldn't see two people hiding there.
I reached for something on the small table beside the bed, but the person beneath me thought I was trying to do something, so I pulled my hand back and whispered, "Let go. If you don't want to be caught, let go of my hand."
He let go, and I felt the pot of fire. The long smoke was already somewhat black, and I wiped it hard on my face.
The firelight was so bright that I couldn't even open my eyes. He was holding my waist underneath to let me sit up and support my waist, making it harder to see who was being held below me. However, he held my waist tightly and stuck close to it.
"This is my sister." I heard Zatsi say that.
Slowly I opened one eye, the other closed, and twisted my lips. I called out in the Northwest tongue, "Brother." The people in front of him were all soldiers that were dressed in majestic attire. They were even more unfriendly than the ones that came in the afternoon.
"Your Honor, this is my younger sister. How does she look like Yun Wanyi? She is always sick and weak, and doesn't like going out to meet people."
They took out the pictures and compared them with each other so carefully that their piercing eyes seemed to see through me. They looked at the pictures as if they were afraid of making a mistake, and then said, "No, no."
The others buzzed, and Zaitsi said, a little peevishly, "This is the third time you've been here. Did you say anything? Why do you keep checking so many times?"
"The emperor has already come to the northwest for more than three times. Your remote location has been here more than ten times already. No matter what, the emperor has to find Yun Wanyi."
"But, isn't she dead?" Zaitsi whispered again.
The leader coldly harrumphed, "If you hear it a second time, you'll have to be careful of your brain moving. This is the emperor's greatest taboo." You should be thankful that you may still be able to see the emperor. If you can't find Yun Wanyi, the emperor will personally come to you and search one house at a time. Even if you have to dig three feet deep, you still have to find Yun Wanyi. I'll give you one more chance. If you see it before, you'll get a reward. "Kill!" The cold voice, like ice and snow, smashed into my heart in large chunks, making my heart choke in pain.
He's here, he's here, he's really here.
"General, I can't find anyone."
Only then did the man avert his sharp gaze from my face and look at Zatsi. He said, "Do your best. If you have any news, report it to this general immediately. When you were grazing nearby, did you find any dead people or strangers? Especially, it's not a woman from the northwest. " He added a heavy tone to the last sentence.
Zatsi shook his head. "No one, General."
"Your sister's expression isn't too good. It's going to turn dark. If the emperor comes by himself in the nick of time, we must send her away. Don't let the bad luck stain her body."
"Yes, yes." Zatsi answered.
Are they really coming? Then what should I do? I can't stay here anymore.
Didn't you treat me as a pawn? Didn't you ruthlessly let someone stab me in the stomach, making me covered in blood and unable to ask for help?
Why do you have to dig three feet out of the ground to see someone, to see their corpse? Even if you find me, what are you going to do with a woman like me who might be dirty outside?
