God don't even try to stop me from doing infrastructure!

"Misha, what are you doing?" Yunze was surprised.

In any case, he couldn't figure out how she got here.At this moment, it seemed that he saw a struggling fish in the mud that jumped out of the mud unwillingly and landed on the grass.

"I hid here all night, and I finally waited for you, my lord." Misha said happily, she was shivering from the cold, but her face had a bright smile like a flower, "I want to go with my lord, where are you going? Just go there, Misha wants to serve the adults."

Yunze hadn't spoken yet, but Harry, who was kind and gentle to Misha yesterday, spoke. His voice was as cold as his expression: "Go back, your lord doesn't need a domestic prostitute as a maid. If you get any closer, I'll kill you."

Then he turned around and advised Yun Ze: "My lord, don't worry about it. Leaving her behind will cause you trouble. These women are always greedy and ruthless. Don't trust them."

The other guards also had cold faces, not seeing any warmth from yesterday.

Misha seemed to have heard countless words like this, so she just bit her lip and looked at Yunze with wide eyes. She had an intuition that adults are different from other people.

"You, wait, one night?" Yun Ze asked.

Misha nodded.

"why?"

The light shone into Misha's eyes, dyed red: "I want to live, my lord, I want to live."

Why do you think he can let her live?

"Go back, will you die?" Yunze asked again.

But Misha shook her head: "No, only one beating, two days of starvation, Dad still needs me to give him money."

Yunze finally couldn't help sighing, he looked at Menis: "Take her to a good place, grow up, get married."

If she wants to live, let her live.

There are also professional women in Taixi, very few, and the only career of the daughters of common people is their marriage.For Misha, a good marriage may be the best destination.Such is the times, the weakness and beauty of women is the original sin.

Regardless of the future marriage, she must get out of the current situation.Marriage is both a relationship and a transaction. The other party must care about the identity of the girl. Slaves, domestic prostitutes, and ordinary girls have completely different choices.

Marriage here is not the order of the parents, it is falling in love and living together with their own private possessions, that is, getting married.A commoner girl needs a small dowry to marry, which is like a pearl on a shoe to Yunze, but she may have a different life.

Menis also sighed in his heart, he had already expected this ending, and after watching it along the way, he knew that Yunze was a kind person with a gentle heart, and this kindness was willing to show mercy to everyone.

"can."

So there was an extra girl in the line, and this girl was wearing a soft woolen blanket and sitting on the edge of a bullock cart behind.She stared brightly at the front of the line, like a child looking at a beautiful candy.

But she couldn't actually see that side, they were separated by hundreds of meters, and the others didn't allow her to get close to Yunze.

"When you go to the next village, find a good family to take her in. She is too old and has not been trained as a maid, so she cannot serve you well." Menis and Yunze said.

"Next time, farther away, further away." Yun Ze emphasized that the farther away, the less troubles will come.

Menis nodded, he understood Yunze's meaning.Probably gentleness is contagious, he suddenly felt that this is not bad, since that girl can live a better life, why stop her from living a better life?

"Okay. Thank you, Menis." Yunze smiled slightly, "Misha, you are a good boy."

Thought has not been completely corrupted, soul is still so fresh, how could he not be a good boy.He also couldn't continue to watch a little girl who wanted to jump out of the fire pit continue to struggle in that quagmire.

She tried her best to jump from the mud to the grass, and then let him put this unyielding little fish into the pool.

Misha didn't know her future fate, she was just happy.

There were a few guards around her who often went to her house joking, after all, it was not particularly unpleasant to say that they were protected by nobles.

"Misha, did you really hide all night waiting for the priest?" A guard asked, "Aren't you afraid of freezing to death? Are you not afraid of being picked up by wild wolves wandering around the village?"

A guard next to him joined the conversation with a smile: "My lord priest didn't even touch your fingers, and didn't make you happy, but let you wait here willingly for one night to follow along. Your lord priest's charm is simply too great. I It’s the first time something like this has happened.”

"That's right." Another guard also spoke, "Misha, aren't we okay? Why didn't you go with us before?"

Misha pouted: "My lord is very good, my lord is the best."

The light that shines from the soul cannot be deceiving.These guards kept talking sweetly when they wanted the bodies of her and her sisters, and treated them as livestock when they got out of bed, didn't they know?

There was once a sister who ran away with a man, only to find out later that she was sold to that man.The sisters are tired and unwilling to trust others.Misha was always unwilling to give up, she just wanted to try again after being hit hard.

This place is really sparsely populated, and it took three days for them to see a village of a certain size again.The team stopped and rested for a day, and the guards didn't mess with anything that day.Then a few days later, they arrived at a village that was already very close to Curry.

Menis went directly to the priest in the village and asked him which couple had no children and if they wanted to adopt a girl.In the future, boys can be sent to the house for the elderly, which is almost the same as a door-to-door son-in-law, but there is no surname here, so it is easy to find a door-to-door son-in-law.

The priest in the village was terrified when he saw his immediate superior, so he quickly found three couples.

The elderly couple expressed their desire to adopt Misha.They adopted two children when they were young, but they fell ill and passed away. After that, they didn't think about adopting children again for more than ten years.But now that the two of them are old, they must have a queen.

The priests in the village also said that the couple were gentle people, and the family also had fields and livestock, so they could take good care of the girl.

Misha never thought that she would be adopted by ordinary people.Yunze gave her some things, a sheep (from the family of the first rescued baby girl), two rolls of good quality linen and a string of shell necklaces (from the second rescued businessman).

She knew that her status was too low to be a maid beside a nobleman, but she never expected that Yunze would give her a hand and arrange a proper way out for her because of this predestined relationship.

"Live well." Yunze said goodbye to her while riding on the horse.

Misha was speechless in a daze, watching them walk away, with their backs facing the setting sun, surrounded by orange light.

Her brown eyes reflected the figure covered with an orange-red halo. For some reason, she suddenly felt very wronged, as if she suddenly had a lot of things to say to others.

She used to be beaten and starved for a day, but she never felt bitter.She was tormented until she was torn and bled, but she couldn't cry.

No one cares about her suffering, and no one cares about her tears.She used to be very envious of the children of other families. Although they didn't eat well or dress well and had to work every day, they were protected and cared for.

What is falling from the eyes now?Is it tears?

"My lord, I'm sorry, actually... Actually, I know you are a good person, and you might agree to my unreasonable request. I took advantage of your soft-heartedness!" Misha suddenly said loudly to the disappearing figure.

Although she was young, she had seen many people. This time she came to the door because she knew he would not refuse, and took advantage of his kindness.

"I'm sorry. I will definitely live a good life and never let you down!"

She put her hands on her face and wiped it constantly, she didn't want adults to see it.She suppressed her crying, not wanting to disturb the adults.

Among so many sisters, she lived the best life, because she didn't care about anything and was willing to give up everything.But she doesn't like that kind of life, and she doesn't want to live it.This is the third time she has escaped, and she failed the previous two times, but it doesn't matter, she still has life, and she can continue.

win.

"Happiness to you, brave little girl."

Saying goodbye to this girl who was just an episode to Yunze, the team moved on.

Yunze began to learn writing from Menis. There are two kinds of writing. One is the prayer writing used exclusively by priests, and it is also the official writing for issuing official documents and orders in Taixi. It is usually written on bark paper and parchment with a pen and ink. , is a hieroglyph.There is also a kind of wedge-shaped writing written on clay tablets, using wood as a pen and clay tablets as paper, which is convenient for daily communication.

Yunze used a roll of paper to record these words, marked them with phonetic symbols, and used traditional Chinese characters as their meanings.He has recorded more than a hundred words, followed by dense notes.

Menis is also very interested in this kind of strange symbols that he does not know. Whether it is round phonetic symbols or square traditional characters, they all carry a mysterious color.

Yunze sat in the carriage, copying seriously on a low table.Menis sat beside him, watching his strokes, those wonderful words carried a strange attraction.Even the pens and papers they hold are different.

The pen is a small thin tube, similar to a reed tube, with neat animal hairs inside.The paper is different from the bark paper and parchment, thin and white, as delicate and moist as Yunze's skin.

Menis looked at the hand holding the pen, the wrist was slender, the fingers were slender, thin but not revealing, the skin was radiant and burning like a mountain flower.

At this moment, Yunze suddenly tilted his head and smiled at Menis, but then lowered his head and continued to copy the next second.

Menis: ...

Menis silently recited various blessing spells, suppressing the strange throbbing at that moment.

"What on earth are you thinking?" Prince Sham asked Menis when Yunze was not around.

"If you didn't swear to serve the gods for life, I almost doubt that you fell in love with this son of god."

"Don't look at others with the superficial feeling of 'like'." Menis was a little displeased, "Especially the liking in your mouth." It's cheap and useless.

All those who were captivated by Prince Sham's enthusiasm and 'like' were finally abandoned because of 'greedy'.

Prince Shamu only likes the process of conquest, and finds it boring once he gets a response.Everyone in Curry knows Prince Sham's virtue, decent girls will not approach him, and the women around him are either low-ranking girls who want something, or girls who also love to play.

"Seriously, my dear brother, are you sure that he is the Son of God?" Prince Sham was very curious.

Menis frowned: "Whether it is or not, you stay away from me, he is not a man and woman who surrounds you for benefits. You don't want to be excluded from the heir selection by my teacher and all other priests in the first place, right? ?The king is not just a son."

"It's not confirmed yet, he may just be the lucky one who got the magic medicine by chance." Prince Sham defended.

"I know for sure, and I vouch for it." If he wasn't, no one else could be.

Menis actually guarantor for him?Is it really the Son of God?

Prince Sham looked straight, thought for a moment, and said with a smile: "I understand. If he is the son of God, I will naturally treat him with the courtesy I would treat a sage."

After this conversation, Menis never let Yunze and Prince Sham stay alone together again, although it didn't seem to have happened before.

Yunze didn't feel that subtle atmosphere change, he worked hard to absorb the nutrients of knowledge, practicing the language and characters here every day, and Menis helped to correct grammatical errors.

After walking through a large pasture, Menis told him: "The front is Curry, the original city, the city of gods."

Yunze got out of the carriage and looked up.

It is a vast plain, crossed by broad rivers like blood vessels, and on both sides are divided into patches of fields and pastures.Lakes and ponds are scattered across the land like stars.On some withered yellow pastures, the lambs are white clouds, they are being driven, and the shepherd drives the hounds on horseback, watching the sheep and defending against the wolves.

At the end of this grassland, there is a flat land that is much higher than normal. There is a white light band on it, which is the city wall, forming a white guardrail from left to right.

There is a group of densely packed human heads under the circle, all of which are as big as sesame seeds and as small as ants going back and forth.Behind this flat land are mountains shrouded in white smoke. The tallest one is as tall and pointed as a beast's fang, with a silvery white top.
