Spicy rivers and lakes!

The sun was setting, the sky was getting dark, and the grass was dyed with red light, shining brightly.This is the season when new grass sprouts in a year. The Huns live in grass, and the earth is their cattle and sheep, their life.

When the sky was about to turn dark, the bonfire of the Huns was lit, and a group of people gathered around the fire and sang songs, and the singing wafted across the grassland and the sky.

Wang Sumin sat in the crowd and sang along. He knew the lyrics by heart, and the fire shone on his face when he sang.

Sitting next to him, Li Dongqing said in a low voice, "I don't have a good impression of their bonfire. What happened?"

"A woman was captured," Wang Sumin said, "or the battle was won."

Nothing is good, and Li Dongqing is even less interested.Only he and Wang Sumin came out today. They followed the cloud, went out of the fortress, and then arrived near the city of Mrs. Fan a hundred miles away.Few people in their group can speak the Xiongnu dialect. Some people could speak it at first, but it has been useless for 20 years, and they have been completely forgotten. There are only three people who can. It caused trouble, so I didn't dare to take him.Li Dongqing and Wang Sumin pretended to be wanderers separated from Yi Zhixie's army and sneaked in.

The corner of Li Dongqing's clothes was pulled, he turned around, there was a little boy, bowed his head, and handed him a piece of cheese embarrassedly, Li Dongqing looked back and saw the little boy's mother behind him , smiling at him.Li Dongqing also smiled and took it.

The little boy ran away laughing.

Li Dongqing broke the cheese in half and handed the cheese to Wang Sumin. Wang Sumin said, "I haven't eaten for a long time."

"Me too." Li Dongqing said casually.

Wang Sumin glanced at him, and Li Dongqing wondered, "Why?"

"How many times have you eaten?" Wang Sumin said, "People from the Central Plains."

Li Dongqing: "Look down on people from the Central Plains?"

Wang Sumin asked: "How many times have you eaten?"

Li Dongqing laughed and didn't answer him.

Wang Sumin stuffed the cheese into his mouth and looked at the bonfire in front of him.

Li Dongqing didn't know why, but always felt that he had some fate with the grassland, and sometimes even felt that he was also from here.This may be because he knew how to speak the Huns since he was a child, which was taught to him by his neighbor Uncle Huang. Li Dongqing had heard many stories about the Huns. Not too much hate.

After Wang Sumin said it, he realized that this was only the second time he set foot on the grassland in his life.

The little boy ran over again, bouncing and yelling strangely behind Li Dongqing. Li Dongqing turned his head and asked, "What's your name?"

"□□," said the little boy, "my name is□□."

Li Dongqing hugged him, hugged him in his arms, let him kneel on his lap, and asked: "□□, really heavy, how old are you?"

□□ said: "I don't know."

Li Dongqing laughed and said, "I think you are only five years old."

□□ didn't want him to hold him anymore, so he broke free, and Li Dongqing let him go, but □□ squeezed next to him again, sat by his lap, touched his thigh with his calf, and said: " None of us know how old we are, you know?"

"I don't know either." Li Dongqing said.

But Wang Sumin broke the stage and said, "He's seventeen."

Li Dongqing: "..."

He gave Wang Sumin a reproachful look, and the little boy lowered his head to play with the fur on Li Dongqing's sheepskin jacket.

Most of the Huns on the grassland didn't know a single word in their whole life, and they didn't know their own age. Some even didn't know how many horses and sheep they had in their family.Some people count their sheep with stones. When the sheep come out of the pen, a stone is placed on each sheep. When the sheep come back, if all the sheep have gone in and the stones are still left, it means that some sheep have not returned.

Li Dongqing said: "You ask this uncle how old he is, he doesn't even know."

The little boy glanced at Wang Sumin, and before he could ask, Wang Sumin said, "I don't know."

Li Dongqing said: "Look, I'll just say, he doesn't know either."

The little boy laughed and handed him a stone: "Here you are."

Li Dongqing took it over, it was just an ordinary stone, and he said, "Thank you."

The little boy ran away again.

Li Dongqing asked Wang Sumin: "I really don't know, or I don't know?"

"I really don't know." Wang Sumin said.

Li Dongqing: "No wonder it's not your birthday."

"It's okay to know me," Wang Sumin said, "Although I don't know my age, I know that I must be one year old."

Li Dongqing understood what he meant and laughed.

Most people still only celebrate birthdays for children who have reached one year old, and the rest of the day is just enough. In fact, Li Dongqing himself is like this. It seems that they all grew up through hard times.

He glanced at Wang Sumin, and felt that Wang Sumin must be quite old, perhaps almost thirty.

Li Dongqing looked around, the bonfire had been lit for a long time, but no woman was dragged out. It is estimated that the bonfire was not lit for women tonight, so the battle might be won.

What he inquired yesterday was that the generals of the three routes had all returned without success. Could it be for this celebration?

He wanted to quickly find someone to inquire about the situation, but when he turned his head, the little boy spread his wings and flew over to him, and said, "My mother said, you can stay in my tent tonight."

Li Dongqing said: "Do you know where King Zuoguli's army is now?"

"Who is King Zuoguli?" the little boy asked.

Li Dongqing sighed, and just about to say forget it, Wang Sumin said, "Da Shanyu's younger brother."

The little boy pointed to Fang Fang and said, "We are celebrating. The younger brother of the Great Chanyu defeated the parachutist and captured the parachutist."

Li Dongqing was stunned immediately, and glanced at Wang Sumin, both of them couldn't believe it.

The little boy held a stone in his hand and said, "Pull general, puff!" He made an offensive gesture, then raised another stone, pretending to be Yi Zhixie, and said, "Yi Zhixie, bang!" Boom boom!"

Then, he bumped two stones together, threw Li Guang down, and said, "The parachutist has lost."

□□Stepped on the parachutist's stone, then took Yi Zhixie's stone and hit Li Dongqing's chest.

Li Dongqing remained calm and said, "Will Da Chanyu's younger brother come today?"

The little boy spread his hands, and the little adult said, "I don't know about Kunlun Mountain either."

Li Dongqing laughed, stood up and said, "Thank you, □□."

□□ said: "Are you going to kill King Zuoguli?"

Li Dongqing suddenly paused and looked down at him.

"He's on the grassland to the south," said Mr. Wang, "do you not stay overnight?"

Li Dongqing asked: "Don't you know who is Zuo Guli King?"

"You just said it!" The little boy said as if he was a fool, imitating the adult's movements and tone exaggeratedly, "Of course I learned it from you."

Li Dongqing: "Then why do you say I'm going to kill him?"

"I guess," said □□, "You must be going to kill him. Your clothes are new, not old. You are definitely not from here."

"And a lot of people wanted to kill him," he added.

Li Dongqing thought for a while, and sat down again. Once he sat down, he was about the same height as the first person. Li Dongqing said, "Why do you say that?"

"Because the Great Chanyu is about to die," said Wang, "They say that the son of the Great Chanyu will kill the Great Chanyu's younger brother because they are fighting for the throne."

Li Dongqing looked at him, thinking carefully, what did he do when he was more than five years old, are children so smart now?

After thinking about it, Li Dongqing couldn't recall her memories of when she was five years old.

"Little devil," Wang Sumin said, "we are going to kill him, go and bring me another piece of cheese, and I will stab him for you then."

□□ grinned, but didn't move.

But the little boy's mother came over. She was a short and fat woman. She came over and said, "I want to invite you to stay at my house for one night. I will drink milk tea before leaving tomorrow morning."

Li Dongqing stood up, looked at her and said, "This child is really smart."

□□Walking around his mother without stopping for a moment, the woman stopped him and smiled in disbelief: "He? Smart?"

"I just hope that he can count how many sheep there are at home," the woman said.

□□ ran away, turned around and shouted: "Do you know?"

The woman scolded him.

Li Dongqing said: "I'm leaving tonight. I would like to ask, the two of us have been separated from King Zuoguli's team for a long time. We want to find his army to take the crime. Is he near Lady Fan's city?"

The woman said: "It's very close, let's go south to look for it, maybe we can see it in a day. But I heard that King Zuoguli ruled very strictly."

She thought Li Dongqing and Wang Sumin were deserters, and she showed some sympathy.Li Dongqing quickly said: "If you don't accept the crime, you won't be able to return to your tribe. My fiancée is still waiting for me at home, and I will go for her."

Wang Sumin took a breath, obviously impatient to hear his lies.

Li Dongqing pretended not to know, said goodbye to that woman, took a sip of kumiss to thank her, and then left.

When leaving, □□ ran out two steps and said, "What's your name?"

Li Dongqing said casually, "My name is Muren."

□□ Shouted: "Goodbye, Muren!"

Li Dongqing waved his hand and then walked backwards. After walking a certain distance, he turned around and said to Wang Sumin, "Is it the Huns who are not simple, or this child is not simple?"

Wang Sumin seemed surprised and said, "Have you never seen the Huns?"

Li Dongqing: "That is, this child is not simple, a little scary."

"He likes you," Wang Sumin said, "do you know why?"

"why?"

"You're scary too." Wang Sumin said.

Li Dongqing stopped slowly and asked, "What do you mean?"

Wang Sumin: "That's how I felt when I saw you for the first time on the grassland."

"Just like this child." Wang Sumin added.

However, Li Dongqing didn't feel that he was the same as this child. This child was five years old, except that his words and actions were too childish, and he was completely like an adult when chatting. Li Dongqing thought that he must not have been like this when he was a child.

Li Dongqing said: "I just think this child is precocious, too smart. I didn't understand anything when I was five years old."

"Not necessarily." Wang Sumin said.

Seeing Li Dongqing frowning at him, he said, "Otherwise, have you thought about it? Why does the Yue family want you?"

Li Dongqing actually let him block him, he wanted to say: Could it be because half of Yueshi's blood is flowing in my body?But I also felt that Wang Sumin would not believe it.

Wang Sumin said: "Brother, how long have you practiced sword?"

Although Wang Sumin asked this question, he also knew the answer: half a year.

"You are very talented," Wang Sumin said, "you can't even say that you are very talented. You are scary. You don't have any friends in the training ground, right? Huo Xun Changming has many friends there, because everyone is afraid of you except for that fool." , including General Lin who taught you the sword."

Li Dongqing was speechless for a long time.

They walked in the darkness silently. This was the first time Li Dongqing heard someone say these words to him. If he hadn't met this child today, he might still not have heard Wang Sumin say these words to him.

Wang Sumin is a person who only tells the truth, so he seems to be missing a nerve in his daily speech. He would rather offend people than tell lies.But sometimes, Wang Sumin would choose to see it, but not to say it.

Li Dongqing said: "When you saw me for the first time on the grassland, I didn't do anything. I had a high fever for several days and almost died. What are you afraid of?"

"Because you seemed to be enduring at that time," Wang Sumin said, "You seemed to be able to kill these people at any time, but you didn't kill them, you were enduring them. Li Dongqing, you always give people this feeling, including now. "

Li Dongqing: "..."

Wang Sumin said again: "Just like that child."

Li Dongqing: "So you chose to follow me, didn't you?"

"I want to see how far you can go," Wang Sumin said, "Anyway, there was nothing to do at the time."

Li Dongqing looked up at the sky, it was already full of stars, and it was completely late at night, thinking that Ning and Chen should still be waiting for him, he said, "Go back."
