Beiyang new warlord

But he couldn't continue. On the face of the female patriarch, he saw an extremely complicated expression! Unprecedented anger, inexplicable fear, and an indescribable despair. Tears that hadn't flowed were hanging in the corners of her eyes, and her naked chest was heaving violently. The next second, she turned another part of the grass crawler, and slammed Mao Xingjian's face fiercely.

Bang~

The wooden stick hit the arm he was blocking, and the bones seemed to make a crisp sound. With his head covered, his whole body shrank into a ball. Under the angry stick of the red deer, Mao Xingjian moaned in pain.

I don’t know how many times I’ve been through it, it seems that my body is numb, the stick like the wind and rain stopped, and I raised my head carefully, under the moonlight, holding the grass crawler with both hands, the red deer was desperate His eyes fell on himself.

In the next second, while the crown prince shrank his head in fear, the female patriarch suddenly stuffed the grass crawler into his arms, and pointed the sharp rake point at her soft and slender neck.

"kill me!"

"Red Deer! Chief Apache! Listen to me, I won't tell anyone what happened today, you don't have to"

"coward!"

In the sharp roar, with red eyes, the red deer finally threw the grass crawler to the ground, and walked back to the grass nest just now, tearing off the long skirt and wrapping it around his body. He staggered towards the town.

Never looked back again!

Looking at her back, Mao Xingjian stretched out his hand in panic, muttering, but in the end, he didn't say anything.

In the town, it seemed as if he could vaguely hear shouts. He didn't know whether his head was still drunk or he was knocked out by the red deer. Holding his bruised head, Mao Xingjian staggered out of the town, sat down on the edge of the town on the shaft of the car.

Not to mention, it was really a coincidence that Su Yu was also sitting there, as if he had lost his soul, and was stunned for a while, when Mao Xingjian suddenly turned his head towards him and asked in a weak voice.

"Old Su, if an Indian girl woos you and you reject her, do you have to fight to the death?"

"No, marriage in Su people is very free. If two people want to, they can be together. If one day they don't want to, they can separate after just saying it. Why?"

Before he could finish speaking, Su Yu suddenly jumped up and asked in horror.

"You, you rejected Chief Red Deer?"

"She, she wanted to have sex on the straw pile, but it was too unethical, so Gu walked away, she, she was so angry that she seemed to kill Gu, but in the end, she pressed the iron fork against her neck, and asked me to kill him." her!"

Recalling just now, Mao Xingjian still felt a little dazed, but the audible Su Yu sighed again.

"You, ruined her!"

"During the duel of the Apache chiefs, you helped her. Faced with the questioning of the tribe, she responded that you were her husband, and she used a witch tool that could get angry as a token of love. From the point of view of us Sioux, the husband Facing the crisis together with his wife, Changshengtian will approve it! But the chief of the Red Deer asked you for help, but you walked away, which is tantamount to completely destroying her faith, and she will no longer be able to lead the Apache tribe. In the future, in the In front of the clansmen, she can't lift her head up!"

"This result can only be washed away with blood if she kills you, or if you kill her!"

"It's not that serious, is it?"

The prince couldn't help being surprised, and suddenly looked at the dimly lit Apache town.

"It was just the two of us at the time! No one else knew, besides"

"A gentleman should be cautious of his independence! There are gods standing three feet above your head! Don't tell me you people are so inconsistent?"

Su Yu's two proficient classic quotations, but Mao Xingjian was speechless. Once again looking back at the flaming Apache town, the prince's eyes could not help but froze.

Chapter 8. Attachment to the Prince

Often many things happen in one thought.

Looking hesitantly at the quiet Apache town in the dim lights, Su Yu's explanation made Mao Xingjian feel as if a pot was boiling in his heart. There was an urge in his heart to return to the town immediately and look for Chilu, but when he really stretched out his hand , but he was cowardly again. Fear, disgust, fatigue, pain, and the lingering alcohol reverberated in his brain, and he was drowsy. At some point, his head drooped towards the shaft, Drowsily fell asleep.

Su Yu, who was sitting at the front of the car, also became quiet again, but his eyes were fixed on the prince's bruised and damaged face, staring so intently.

clap ~ clap ~

A cold touch surfaced on his face. With a clever move, Mao Xingjian sat up suddenly. Amid the sound of patter, a cold towel fell to the ground suddenly, and Han Xiaomo appeared in front of him, covering his small mouth. The little face that gloated at other people's misfortune.

Beside him, the wheels of the ox carts were pressed into the mud and made a dull sound, and he could vaguely hear the rushing of the river. Looking up again, the clear Snake River had been left behind.

"Crossing the river?"

"That's right! It's not what you ordered, nephew. I was delayed all night yesterday, so hurry up and go back today. When I woke up in the morning, I saw that you were sleeping soundly in the car. Butler Nangong didn't bother you, and just drove back with the sailors! Nephew, did you sneak a peek at someone who was having sex last night? You were beaten like this, haha"

Covering her small mouth, the girl was still smiling heartlessly, but Mao Xingjian's mind was blank when he heard it, and he rubbed his forehead. After a while, he suddenly grabbed Han Xiaomo's little hand impatiently.

"How's Apache Town? Did you see a red deer while you were walking?"

"Oops, it hurts"

Frowning and snatching her hand away, Han Xiaomo hugged her arms a little sourly again: "I didn't see that! The chief of Chilu only stared at the prince, how could he meet such a small character like me!"

"Is there trouble in Apache Town?"

Looking at Mao Xingjian with half of his face swollen but still anxious, Han Xiaomo shook his head seriously after a while.

"No! The big guy should eat and drink when he comes out. When we left, the tiger-headed wizard came out to see us off."

This remark made Mao Xingjian heave a sigh of relief. It seems that Chilu didn't say anything about what happened last night, and it will not affect the stability of the Apache Department for the time being. There was Su Yu, who was in the know last night, and he should be reminded quickly not to The news got out, thinking about it, Mao Xingjian stretched his neck quickly and looked around.

"Where's Su Yu?"

"I don't know. I was just as neurotic as you. He said he wanted to go back to the tribe to visit his father with two pots of boiling water, so he left by himself."

Ever since he rescued the second generation of chiefs back to the tribe, Su Yu has been following him. In the words of their Indians, he regarded himself as a brother of the blood alliance, and he needed to repay this kindness before he could leave, or he simply joined him. But now, after Song Yongzhong, Su Yu also left his side suddenly, making Mao Xingjian's heart feel empty all of a sudden.

"Hey! Nephew! You haven't said who beat you like this? Auntie will avenge you!"

Han Xiaomo was still shaking her small arms angrily, looking like a very strong girl, but unfortunately, the prince who suddenly lost his mood didn't pay any attention to her, but turned his head and looked at the farther and farther Snake River with a lot of thoughts.

.........

This is the third year after Mao Xingjian arrived in the New World, and also the second bumper harvest. In this year, he expanded the arable area of ​​the Snake River Plain by more than ten times, reaching 40 mu of paddy and dry fields. This place has never been cultivated and is full of humus Farming on the fertile land is no joke. Although an average labor force manages more than ten acres of land, which is close to extensive farming, one mu of land can still harvest more than 200 kilograms of rice or wheat.

Compared with last year, the area of ​​Snake City has also expanded a lot. After all, more than 8000 immigrants have arrived. The new southern immigrants rely on the urban area on the mountainside, and expanded downward to a larger square urban area. , the shape is like a big and a small two words stacked together, a small city like the capital city stands on the land of the new continent.

As soon as spring came this year, it was almost full and put into wasteland reclamation. In the summer with a little slack, we fought a big battle with several tribes going north. The houses of the new immigrants were obviously better than the houses of the old city residents. It’s quite simple, and many people only repaired a single floor, only the city wall. After Song Yongzhong went east, no one urged him, and he only built an opening on both sides of the town. However, this place is much more lively than the old city. More than a dozen have been opened, and some people go to the sea of ​​gemstones to do business in Xinghaizi port. A small society is basically sound.

Mao Xingjian came back just in time. He had just entered the gate of Snake City. In the erratic northwest wind, the first snow this year had already fallen. There was no trend of global warming, and it was still in the During this little glacial period, the amount of snow that fell was quite affordable. It took more than five days to fall, and the snow fell as deep as a thigh. The thick snow was deeply buried in the dry and paddy fields that had just been harvested. Below.

However, even the poorest Indians are no longer exposed to the cold this year. With the reduction in food imports, all the vacant cabins have been replaced with daily necessities, and those Indians who have taken refuge in Mao Xingjian have also changed into thick cotton coats. , huddled in the strong wooden house, warmly enjoying the heat from the hearth.

On October [-]th, the continuous heavy snow blowing from the northern polar region finally had enough tossing. Finally, the gloomy clouds dispersed, and early in the morning, the long-lost sun appeared lazily over Snake City. The pure white snow shining on it is dazzling.

The life is too moist, even if the Sioux people of the Dakota tribe become lazy and wear thick cotton-padded clothes, no matter whether they are immigrants from Daming or Sioux people, they are all urged by their chiefs, so they reluctantly take their big clothes. The broom took to the street and swept the thick snow out of the street one by one.

On the other side, the clansmen brought by Chen Zao became even more busy. They mobilized more than 200 strong men from various Lijia, and drove dozens of ox carts down the hillside.

The city here is not as dense as that of Daming, and a heavy snow almost completely covered the road leading to the Gemstone Sea.However, the long winter lasted for more than four months, and Snake City could not cut off contact. It also needed to transport all the abundant grain here to the port of Baoshihai, and through there to supply the various strongholds of Daming in the north, so the snow had to be cleared as much as possible. How much is probably enough for them to be busy for a while.
