When a passerby becomes a princess

Liang Xi ran with the horse bandit team for six or seven days, and met another group of horse bandit people who had separated before. There were more than 50 people in total. They were followed by more Hu Guo troops. The amount of dust is at least ten times the number of horse bandits.

However, the horse bandits were not very worried. They were familiar with every piece of land here, and used rivers, swamps, woods and other terrains to get rid of Hu's army time and time again.But at the same time, every time they managed to get rid of one of Hu's troops, another team would suddenly appear behind them.

"Damn, these beards are like rabbits on the grassland, they are everywhere." Sun Mazi cursed non-stop while eating naan bread on horseback.

Tantou looked at the gray sky, frowned a little, and said, "The snow season is coming, why are these beards still running around on the grassland? They have already returned to the tribe to stay at this time in previous years."

Liang Xi just wanted to go over and ask in detail, when Yu Qi happened to pass by him, muttering: "The meat on the arms should be stir-fried, the meat on the thighs must be braised, and the meat on the buttocks must be made into white meat... oh , although the meat of a man is strong, but the meat of a girl is more tender, 16-year-old girl, where are you..."

Second sister Qiao rode over, patted the frozen Liang Xi, and said, "Don't worry, when Yu Qi cooks, he usually doesn't put human flesh in the pot casually, he keeps it and eats it secretly."

"Cooking?" Maybe it was because of the strong wind, Liang Xi's voice was a little fluttering.

Second Sister Qiao didn't take it seriously, and said with a smile: "Yes, Yu Qi was the most famous human flesh cook in the border before, but now he is the chef in our village, and the dishes he cooks are delicious. He doesn’t come out in the village, but only comes out with us once a year, and he said it’s to find some ingredients for cooking.”

Liang Xi was speechless for a long time. Is it really okay to let a human cook be a counterfeit chef?Come out once a year to look for materials, is it to kill people for meat?I won't just put human flesh in the pot... Ah, I'm finally relieved... I'm relieved that there will be ghosts!In other words, he might still put human flesh in the pot!Also, why can you smile so brightly when you talk about such a bloody topic? !

A few days later, after they got rid of the Hu army for a short time, they robbed a small tribe of the Hu country, killed more than forty Hu people inside, and took away three slaves from the Daliang country who had been trafficked.

Originally watching the horse bandits kill all the old people and children in the tribe, Liang Xi still couldn't bear it in his heart, but when he saw the three rescued Daliang slaves and saw the whip marks on their bony bodies , and the brand like a cow and a horse, Liang Xi couldn't help but picked up a knife and chopped off the head of a Hu country man with his own hands.

"Women can have children, and the children will become bearded warriors when they grow up, and those old people used to be warriors when they were young. Every year they go to the border to hunt grass valleys. Every time they beat grass valleys, they will kill those men and snatch women away. And the child." The second sister Qiao spit on the corpse of a Hu country man, and said to Liang Xi with a smile: "This is what our former leader said. Every time we rob a tribe, we must kill the tribe. It was decided by the leader."

Liang Xi looked at the blood on the knife and was a little dazed. This was the first time he had killed someone. He thought he would be afraid, but no. excited.

After running for another two days, they encountered a 20-man scout team from Hu State and engaged in a small-scale fight.

Originally, Liang Xi cared about the child in his arms and didn't want to go up to fight, but an arrow shot at the child angered him. He blocked the arrow, protected the child tightly with one hand, drew out a long knife with the other and rushed over.His equestrian skills have been practiced since he was a child. Although he is not as good as the Hu people who have lived on horseback all year round, he can still sit firmly with only his legs clamping the horse's body, and blood splatters from the knife in his hand. With the cooperation of the horse bandits, they cut down two Hu people one after another.

After the battle, there was no scene of waving swords and cheering in Liang Xi's imagination. They quickly gathered up their casualties, and took the stolen horses on the road again. It was not until the next day that they found a place to bury the dead horse bandits. .

"Thank you." Liang Xi thanked the Second Sister Qiao who bandaged his wound. His left arm was cut in the battle because he was protecting the child, because the excitement of participating in the battle for the first time made him not even aware of himself. He was injured, and it was the Second Sister Qiao who discovered that Liang Xi was injured when he found a big cut in his leather jacket.

Sitting by the river with the child in his arms, Liang Xi was fascinated by the ice cubes flowing in the river.

The journey was extremely dangerous. In order to avoid the pursuit of the Hu army, they often ran on the soil for a whole day without sleep, and even had to tie themselves to the horses so as not to fall asleep and fall.Several times Liang Xi thought he was dead, but not only he was alive, even the child survived.

Squeezing the child's chubby hand, Liang Xi was a little surprised to find that the child was sunburned during this period, although the child was a little tanned and his skin was not as delicate as when he first met him, but he looked much better than the one he just picked up. Time, fatter and stronger.

The second sister Qiao reached out and hugged the child from the side, wiped the child's face with a sweat towel that had just been washed in the river, and said, "This child seems to be able to survive, please give him a name." According to the rules on the grassland, children who are sick and unable to support themselves will not be named, so that if they die, their family members will not be sad because of the mention of his name. Only those children who are healthy, strong and able to grow up will be named. have a name.

Liang Xi looked at the child, the weather was getting colder and colder, the child was already wearing a small leather jacket snatched from the tribe, and on his head was also a fox fur hat, but a small The piece of red is the tiger head cotton hat he wore before, so he said: "Let's call it Tiger Head."

"Hutou, our little Hutou has a name!" The second sister Qiao threw the child up and caught it with a smile, and the child giggled loudly.

The laughter of the two made Liang Xi a little sad, because he didn't know how long the laughter at this moment could last.

Someone from behind patted Liang Xi on the shoulder, turned around and saw that it was Tantou, who was shot in the thigh by an arrow in the encounter two days ago, in order to prevent festering, he had to dig out a piece of flesh, because there was no medicine , had to use fire to stop the bleeding.The wood pulled out from the fire, pressed the burning end to the wound where a piece of flesh had just been dug out, even a tough guy like Tantou couldn't help screaming, the sight frightened Liang Xi, and As for seeing Tantou now, I feel my legs cramp.

"Brother Liang, we will enter the Gobi Desert if we go west here. It has already started to snow. We don't plan to come to the grassland again this year." Tantou limped and sat down beside Liang Xi, and said, "You Let’s see what your plan is, will you follow us into the Gobi Desert, or should I leave you two horses?”

Although Tantou was asking about Liang Xi, he hoped that he could stay. Although this little white face was a bit more handsome, he was good at horseback riding and archery. Qualified horse bandit.

Liang Xi didn't know that Tantou was planning to train himself to be a "qualified horse bandit" in his heart, and frowned very worriedly. Of course he wanted to go back.You don't need to think about it, this disappearance of yours, not to mention the chaos of the whole country, the border will definitely be in chaos for a long time. If Hu Guo takes advantage of the situation and enters, I don't know how many people will die.

Liang Xi in the past must have never thought of this, but because of the tiger head that was almost sacrificed to heaven, because of the slaves who were rescued, and because of everything he saw recently, he finally understood the importance of border defense, and understood that those border soldiers swore to defend it to the death. What exactly is it.Remembering that when he first arrived in the frontier army, he always made trouble for Lin Lian, Liang Xizhen felt ashamed of himself at that time.

But now, not to mention the Hu army that has been chasing behind, even the coming heavy snow has trapped him to death. The wind and snow on the grassland is by no means comparable to that of the hilly Liang Kingdom. , in such a vast expanse of whiteness, even if he didn't die from the cold, he still couldn't find his way back to Daliang country.

Tantou didn't urge him, he could see that Liang Xi was of extraordinary background and well-educated, it was not easy for such a person to make up his mind to become a horse bandit.He didn't say anything that he wanted him to stay. Those who join the horse bandit team, as long as they are not spies of the Hu state, their background is not a problem.It's just that if it's not the person I want to stay, it's better to leave.

In the end, Liang Xi neither said he wanted to stay nor said he wanted to leave, but silently tied the tiger's head to his chest and followed behind the bandits.

Sun Mazi next to him smiled and said to him: "After entering the Gobi Desert, you only need to walk for a few days before you can go home."

Hearing the word "home", Liang Xi finally couldn't help turning his head back, and looked in the direction of Liangguo for a long time, looking around again and again, and every time a small face appeared in his heart, although that face He always has no expression, but every time he is in a bad mood or in trouble, the owner of that little face will try to make himself happy.

"I'll be back next spring." Liang Xi whispered into the distance.

After speaking, he wiped his face vigorously, wiped away the sadness on his face, and also wiped away the tears that almost filled his eyes, and followed the horse bandit team into the Gobi Desert.

Large snowflakes are falling from the sky, and the winter snow season on the grassland is coming.

It is precisely because of the coming of the heavy snow season that the horse bandits have all returned to the Gobi Desert, and the outside world has blocked roads due to the heavy snow, so Liang Xi did not know about it for a long time. Turned upside down.
