The green-feathered bird has a yellowish-brown belly, is brightly colored, and has a pleasant cry. It is kept in a large bamboo cage, flapping its wings, and pecking at the insects in the pottery.Ren Jia held the knee-length cage in both hands, walked to the gate of the courtyard, and stood next to her brother. She waved her hands at the backs of Yu Su and Feng Chuan. She was just playing and forgot to say goodbye to them. I still like them very much and hope to see them again next time.

"Brother, I'll take Cuicui to play by the bamboo lake."

The people who had gone away had disappeared. Ren Jia lifted the birdcage and hugged it with two thin arms. She raised her head and said to Ren Fang.The bamboo lake is right there in the bamboo forest, in fact, it is not far from the door of our house.

"Nian, you accompany Jia to Zhuhu Lake." Ren Fang turned around and called out to a female slave who was cleaning the courtyard.

Ren Jia's lack of intelligence was not obvious when she was young, but it gradually became obvious as she grew older. She went to the lake to play alone, fearing that something would happen to her.There is only such a younger sister, and the eldest brother died young, Ren Fang took good care of her.

Huanian's female slave came over in a hurry, took Ren Jia's hand, and helped her carry the bird cage. The two walked to the bamboo forest. Ren Jia jumped up and down all the way, quite happy.

The bamboo forest is lush and the kingfishers are singing. It is really a good day.

Ren Fang looked at his sister and female slave who were leaving, and walked into the house. He had just stepped into the door and before he walked to his room, he suddenly heard a commotion outside the courtyard.

Early in the morning, herders seldom came to Muzheng's house, unless there was something special, Ren Fang wanted to go out and see what was going on by himself before his father was woken up.

Ren Fang walked out of the courtyard patiently, and saw three herdsmen approaching in a panic, surrounded by two servants, talking excitedly.

"What's the matter, I was mumbling outside early in the morning." Ren Fang recognized one of the herdsmen named You, who was a herdsman near Yanqiu, and the other two were young, probably his sons.

"A man died, was killed, in the forest next to the Jianggou!" After seeing Fang, the right spoke very loudly, and it was obvious that he was panicked.

Since the Qiong people were driven out of Jiaoshan many years ago, very few people died in Jiaoshan, which is quite rare.

Ren Fang asked, "Who died? Do you know him?"

"The pig driver, come over from Lun City and deliver the pigs to the camp." You really knew the deceased, although it was only a few times, but it was enough to scare him.

This is a bit interesting, who is so courageous, dare to kill people in Jiaoshan.The shepherds in Jiaoshan do not herd pigs. There is a settlement in Luncheng called Zhuban, where a group of pig herders live. In order to sell the pigs for a good price, some people will occasionally work hard to drive the pigs to the Jiaoshan camp.

"Shu, go get the carriage ready, I'll go over and have a look." Ren Fang ordered Shu, his father doesn't have to come forward for everything, he can also solve the problem.

Shu led the horse harness to the stables, pulled the carriage out, and said to Ren Fang, "Do you want to take two people there?"

"What are you afraid of? Ren Ming's people must be there." Ren Fang chuckled, boarded the carriage, whipped and left.

Ren Ming was the military attache stationed at the Jiaoshan camp. He came from a noble family and was directly appointed by Ren Jun. Ren Fang had always had friendship with him and often communicated with him.

Shu wanted to report this matter to Muzheng. Although he was an old slave, he was also Muzheng's confidant.He was about to go into the house to report, when he looked up, he saw that Mu Zheng had come out.

"Shu, what happened?" Mu Zheng glanced at his son galloping away, and scanned the three herdsmen in the lower courtyard.

"Master, Jianggou killed a man." Shu relayed the incident.

"Yeah, he died very badly. There was a bloody gash on his chest. The blood flowed a lot and was covered with flies." You rushed to answer. He was very active when he saw Muzheng.

"A gash in the chest? Do you know what killed him?" Mu Zheng was more careful.

The eldest son on the right said, "Arrow kills."

The youngest son on the right said: "I didn't see the arrow again, he was stabbed to death by the spear."

"Shu, you and them go over and have a look. If there is any situation, report to me." Muzheng became vigilant when he heard the word "arrow". cautious.

"Yes." Shu replied.

Shu took the three herdsmen away, and the four went to Jianggou. Along the way, the three fathers and sons were still discussing the murder enthusiastically, guessing that some villains killed the swineherd in order to rob him of his pigs.

Mu Zheng stayed in the courtyard, flicked his sleeves, and walked with his hands behind his back.He thought that according to the news from Ren Yi, the two escaped archers were never hunted down, but Si Hao came to Jiaoshan in March, and there were no Jinyi archers in Jiaoshan, so there was no need to hear the "arrow" to change color.

In the afternoon, Ren Fang's carriage came back first, and Muzheng heard the sound of the carriage, so he asked the little servant, a little boy calling his pod, to go out to pass on the news to Ren Fang.

Ren Fang went into his father's room to report. He said, "The swineherd probably died of a spear. The spear was very sharp. A spear pierced his chest. Ming suspects it was done by soldiers. He is searching in the camp."

Mu Zheng asked: "Do you know the origin of the swineherd?"

"Everyone calls him Qiu Zhu. He sells pigs in the camp, and often goes to Gouwei Beach to barter." Ren Fang has already found out.

Muzheng wanted to sell pigs, and he had a lot of money on him, so it was not impossible for him to be robbed and killed by people who wanted to see the money, it was really because he was thinking too much.

"Go to the camp tomorrow to see if you have found the murderer." It may be a simple robbery, but Mu Zheng will never tolerate a murder on his own territory.

"Yes, father." Ren Fang took the order, and he was quite willing to help, but he was afraid that his father would not give him work and felt that he was unreliable.

Ren Fang retreated, while Muzheng was looking at the dark night outside, thinking that Jinpeng sent a group of archers to infiltrate Renyi last winter, but failed to attack and kill Si Hao. Afterwards, most of the archers were captured and killed, leaving only two archers without a trace.

These two people may have already sneaked back to Diyi, and they have never been seen.

On Luoyu Hill, Si Hao ate fish soup cooked in pottery pottery, sat by the fire pond, and applied medicine to himself.It would take a lot of time for him to prescribe the medicine by himself.Difficult to wrap the cloth strips, using hands and teeth together, tied the thin rattan.After the bandage was finished, Si Hao lightly shook the injured arm twice, the pain was not as obvious as before, the wound healed well, and it should recover in a few days.

Thinking about it, there are pottery for cooking, and the injury on the arm is also healing. Life here is not so unbearable.In fact, Si Hao seldom thinks about whether his life is good or not, he is just living a common life, and most people live like this.

Before going to bed at night, Si Hao still held the torch, went down the mountain road, and went to Yemao for inspection.I don't know if he was so vigilant because he was bitten by a wolf, or if he had some premonition that made him feel unsafe.

The sound of the wind remained the same, accompanied by the bleating of the sheep, Si Hao returned to Luoyuqiu, entered the house, blocked the door, and prepared to go to bed.He dimmed the fire in the firepit, returned to the grass mud platform, and lay flat on it.He didn't feel sleepy, thinking about his own affairs.The surroundings are dark and empty, always making people think wildly, Si Hao closed his eyes, and remembered the clothes that were blowing in the wind the day before yesterday at the bank of the lake, drying on the tree branches, and being warmed by leaning against each other under the tree. He and Yu Su under the sun.He reached out to touch his waist, which was wrapped around a hair band. Yu Su's hair band was smooth and delicate to the touch, just like Yu Su's face.

He should go back to Yucheng, back to his parents, and be with his friends.I really want to see how he lives in Yucheng, cooking pottery, farming, and fishing with his friends.Yu Su told Si Hao about her life in Yucheng, but Si Hao never told Yu Su about her life in Renyi.

Even the name I told him was a pseudonym.

Si Hao untied the development belt, put it in his arms, and pressed it against his chest.He thought he was in Ren Yi, and even made fun of Ren Jia for secretly keeping a wrist ornament from Ji Fang, so he was no different from Ren Jia.

Recalling the scene with Yu Su, Si Hao gradually fell asleep. He rarely dreamed, but he still dreamed of Yu Su in his dreams.In the dream, Yu Su was standing by the field, carrying a bamboo basket, leaning on a Lei Lei, and beckoning to him, as if to teach him how to farm.In the dream, on the hillside outside the fields, there is a house and a yard. Whether it is the objects in the house, or the well, trees, dogs, and chickens in the yard, they are all so real, as if they have really existed.

Probably because of the dream, it was rare for Si Hao to sleep late, and when he woke up, it was completely dawn.Si Hao went to Yemao to herd sheep and graze grass, went to the stream to catch fish and shrimp, and went back to Yuqiu to cook. It was the same day, day after day.

After eating enough, he brought Dahei down the hillside, and Si Hao saw a figure coming out of the forest, looking like a bunch.He felt a little strange, he had only been here before, what was the reason for this trip?

Si Hao clamped the shepherd's whip under the creaking nest, and walked slowly towards Shu, he could see Shu was carrying something in his hand, he wondered if Mu Zheng was sending him rice grains.

Muzheng knew about him being bitten by a wolf, and Muzheng sent Shu over to ask him if he needed anything, but Si Hao said he could solve it by himself, and declined Muzheng's assistance.Mu Zheng seemed to be still worried.

"Ji Hao, how's your injury?" As soon as Shu arrived, he put a bag of things on the ground and asked about Si Hao's injury.

Si Hao replied: "You can lift your arm, it's fine, you tell Muzheng, don't worry about me."

"A person was killed in Jianggou Forest yesterday." This is what Muzheng entrusted to tell Si Hao, but he didn't come here specifically for this matter, and he sent some rice by the way.

"Who was killed?"

"A swineherd in Zhupo was driving pigs to the camp for sale, but was stabbed to death with a spear. Muzheng is telling you to be safe. If you see anyone suspicious, please tell him."

"I'll be careful here." Si Hao was a little surprised. It was the first time he heard someone was killed after he had been in Jiaoshan for so long.

"These corn and a piece of bacon, Muzheng wants you to take it." Shu untied the piece of bacon hanging from his waist and handed it to Si Hao.Si Hao accepted it, and explained to Shu: "Thank Muzheng for me, and don't need to send it again next time."

As a shepherd, he is under the special care of Muzheng. Presumably, the servants of Muzheng's family and other shepherds in Jiaoshan know about it, and they don't know what the outside world will think about him.Although Mu Zheng had good intentions, it was really unnecessary.

"I'll go back and convey it, then I'm leaving, Ji Hao, pay attention to the door, don't go hunting in the mountains these few days, and I will come to report to you when I catch the murderer." They all talked to Si Hao.

Si Hao nodded and watched Shu leave.Seeing his short and agile body disappearing into the bushes, Si Hao thought, killing the swineherd was probably for the purpose of looting money.

When I first came to Jiaoshan, what I was most worried about was that the archers from Jin and Yi would follow and ambush me and kill me.Who would have thought that after coming to Jiaoshan for so long, there has been no news of the two Jinyi archers. Sometimes Si Hao hopes to find their traces.Once Archer is dealt with, he can leave anywhere, and he can go anywhere, just because Archer has not been captured, he still has to live in this sanctuary.

After lifting the rice grains and bacon to Luoyu Hill, Si Hao went out of the house and stood on the earthen platform. He saw a group of wild horses running past in the field.Si Hao had been thinking about wild horses for some time, so he paid special attention to them, and found that he didn't see the white horse today, and he didn't know where it went?

Wild horses, like crowds, will reject outsiders, especially if it is a mature stallion, most of them will be beaten and driven away by the horse king of the horse group, so it is not surprising that they disappear.

Si Hao didn't know that this white horse was an escaped prison horse, but he only thought it was very tall and beautiful, so he remembered it deeply.

In the afternoon, Si Hao stuck to his spear and went fishing in the forest behind Luoyu Hill. The forest was very lively with birds and beasts chirping.Si Hao concentrated on the spears and the fish in the stream, until he heard the neighing of the horse, howling mournfully.Si Hao put away his spear, walked out of the stream, and walked into the forest with a humming sound.

He thought he was nearby, but after walking for a while, he saw the trail of the white horse struggling in a swamp.The white horse was covered in cuts and bruises, its front feet knelt on the ground, and its hind legs were sunk deep in the mud.It stretched its neck and screamed, and looked at Si Hao with pleading and terrified eyes.

The white horse under the sun is dazzling and unique. It is different from the brown horses that are common in Jiaoshan. It is taller than the brown horse and has a snow-white body, so it was chosen as a prison horse for worshiping the gods.Si Hao looked at it, thinking that he always wanted to get a horse, and he liked it very much when he saw it from afar, and it was a fate that he didn't want to be with it.

"Don't move around, wait for me here." Naturally, Si Hao knew that the horse couldn't understand human words, so he still told the horse like this.

Si Hao left the mud marsh in a hurry, and he returned to Luoyuqiu to get the hemp rope.If Si Hao looked back at the white horse when he left, he would find that the white horse, which was struggling desperately in the mud, became quiet, as if it could really understand human speech.

When Si Hao took the hemp rope in his hand and rushed to the mud marsh with a freshly cut bamboo pole on his shoulder, the white horse's hind legs were completely sunk in the mud. When it saw Si Hao approaching, it neighed plaintively.For a moment, the moment when they met the horse's eyes, Si Hao felt that it might have emotions like a human.Si Hao tied one end of the hemp rope to the bamboo pole, tied the other end with a slipknot, and pulled out a loop, which he wanted to use to tie the horse's neck.

Si Hao, who has never caught a horse, has seen others catch a horse, and he has always wanted to have a horse, so he pays special attention to the way the herdsmen in Jiaoshan harness their horses.

Si Hao was not in a hurry, he put the bamboo pole aside, broke off some branches and laid them in the mud, and laid them around the horses.The white horse seemed to understand Si Hao's intentions, and slapped the hooves on its front legs, but it was a pointless struggle.Si Hao not only spread branches in the mud, but also dragged a big log and laid it horizontally on the mud, right behind the horse's buttocks.After completing these, Si Hao went to get the harness pole. Naturally, he didn't intend to pull the horse up with his own strength, that was impossible. He harnessed the horse just to keep it from running away.

The horse was seriously injured, bleeding from several places on its body, if it escaped from the mud, it would be a dead end, what a pity, it is better to keep it, of course, Si Hao also has selfish intentions, he wants to raise it.

Throwing the noose, and repeating it twice, before it got around the horse's neck, Si Hao stuck the bamboo pole tied with the noose between two trees.After that, Si Hao stepped on the big log lying on the mud, and he pushed the white horse from behind. ground.

The white horse has just escaped from the mud and has not yet fully expressed its joy. It is about to poke its hooves and run wildly, and then the neck is pulled. The white horse whistles and pulls the bamboo pole loudly.

"Don't run! I won't hurt you." Si Hao jumped out of the mud and caught up with the white horse. He pulled out the harness pole and held on to the white horse.Maybe it was exhausted, the white horse looked at Si Hao, and didn't struggle any more.

Si Hao knew the strength of the horse's kick, so he grabbed the harness pole and drove the horse along.The white horse followed Si Hao, it looked docile, it was a horse raised by people, not a wild horse, not so wild.

Taking the white horse to Yemao, Si Hao tied it to a tree.He cut grain and grass for the white horse, and brought a basin of clean water.The white horse was lying on the ground, neither eating nor drinking. It was obviously afraid of the unfamiliar environment and needed to adapt.

Seeing that it was almost dusk, Si Hao returned to the pasture and drove the sheep to the wild maple. Dahei found a new partner on the wild maple and barked at it fiercely.The white horse neighed resonantly, and its tall body leapt forward, causing Dahei to back away in fright. "Dahei." Si Hao called Dahei away, took him up the Falling Feather Hill, and went home to prepare dinner.

Steamed corn, rice and bacon, and boiled fish soup, is really a hearty meal, it is the food of Muzheng's family, that's about it.

When Si Hao was growing up, he could eat a big pot of steamed rice and a pot of fish soup by himself, leaving nothing behind.Of course, Si Hao would still give Dahei a portion of the food.Always one person and one dog, relying on each other.

After having a full meal, Si Hao went to Ye Muar to inspect, and Da Hei followed.The sheep are safe in the sheepfold, don't worry, Si Hao went to check on the white horse, and found that the grain and grass piled in front of the horse had decreased a lot, as had the water in the wooden basin.

Big black is hostile to the newly added "pet" in the family, and barks low at the white horse. However, it is actually cowardly towards animals that are several times its size, and does not dare to make mistakes.Si Hao drove Dahei to the sheep pen and told him to watch the sheep carefully.Dahei obediently lay beside the sheepfold. It knew its duties and did not leave the sheepfold to "surround" its new partner.

Seeing that Dahei and Baima were safe and sound, Si Hao went back to Luoyuqiu. After a busy day, it was time for him to rest.Lying on the straw mud platform, listening to the sound of the wind passing through the house, Si Hao looked beside the fire pond, where Yu Su was lying there just a few days ago, talking to herself.After all, I am still a little unaccustomed to it. Sure enough, people still need a companion.

Sleeping on the reed mat woven by Yu Su, wearing the clothes he sewed and washed, and using the painted pottery he gave him, Si Hao didn't know what this young man in Yudi meant to him, but felt that he was constantly letting go.It is true that many people treat him kindly, but Yu Su's kindness permeates Sihao's life, so that he feels that his kindness is everywhere.
