Several tribes gathered together to exchange needs and keep warm. This winter is really much better. The adults are relaxed and happy, and the children are more and more laughing. They seem to be able to feel the change in the atmosphere in advance. come up with the most realistic strain.

Ji Mo didn't know about the conversation between Ji Xin and Ji's mother. He only knew that from the next day, the man named A Lie often appeared beside them. Maybe it was because he had nothing to do in winter, and the other party really had something to lead them. The mind of going home is mainly to take Ji Xin to look at the horses and sheep, pointing to the sheepfolds and telling him which sheep are his own.

Ji Xin knew that these sheep and horses were property, and he looked at them very seriously, especially when he saw the maroon pony that was said to be prepared for him, his eyes were filled with joy.

Unlike him, Ji Mo became more and more worried when he was happy. He could ride with only one rein, which was too insecure.

"It's too cold in winter, and they don't like to move. When the weather is warm, you get on the horse, and I'll teach you."

A Lie hugged Ji Xin very affectionately, patted his shoulder, he smiled like a naive big boy, even his imagination was pure.

"it is good."

Ji Xin clearly agreed, this is the first time he clearly agreed to Alie's words, Alie was even happier, the short Ji Mo beside him narrowed his eyes with a smile, looked up, when Ji Xin pressed his hat, almost Covering his eyes, he quickly raised his hands to push up the hat, and raised his two small arms, as if to protect his head.

A Lie noticed it, and stretched out his hand suddenly, picked up Ji Mo, and threw it up. Ji Mo really didn't remember trying this kind of thrilling action. He laughed immediately after being startled. Children are good, but when they grow up, they won't be able to play with these.

When walking back from the sheep pen, Ji Mo was still a little excited. When A Lie left, he asked Ji Xin: "Did you see it just now? Is there someone in the sheep pen?"

Ji Mo had never seen male slaves before, and it should be said that if he did, he wouldn't be able to recognize them. It was hard to tell them apart in terms of their clothes.Most of the slaves, following the customs in the countryside, also wore clothes similar to those of the people here. The people here have only a few clothes, and they wear them back and forth every day, and they hardly wash them. Can you believe it?In the past few years, Ji Mo had never taken a bath, not only him, but everyone in the tribe.

They only take two baths in their life, one is after birth and has to be scrubbed, and the other is after death, they will wash. In the middle of getting married, some bathe and some don't, it's really hard to say.

The climate here is cold most of the time, so cold that people don’t want to take off their clothes. Of course, they also sweat and smell of sweat. At that time, they may wipe their bodies with hot water and take off their clothes. It's impossible to take a shower.

Ji Mo guessed that this was probably because it was easy to catch a cold and get sick after taking a bath. People in ancient times did not understand the reason for the concept of catching a cold. There were one or two cases like this, and they probably thought that taking a bath itself was not very good, and it was easy to get sick. Get sick or something.

Moreover, taking a bath without soap is actually just washing the body with water. There may be parasite eggs in the water, and the risk factor is indeed a bit high.

I count on them to burn wood for the convenience of hot water. Let’s see if there is any charcoal fire first. As far as Ji Mo saw, he didn’t see any trees except for a grassy hillside. Shrubs are similar, and they are not enough for a family to burn, let alone a tribe.

With this premise, if you look at the people who come and go in the tribe, you can tell which ones are from the same tribe and which are male slaves. There may be some differences. The people in the tribe look rougher and look like men who can harness horses, while the male slaves may be thinner?

No, the thin ones died long ago, and the strong ones survived.With the dusty overcoat covered, it is impossible to tell if he is from the same tribe.

"Well, those are male slaves, don't get close, they have some..."

Ji Xin doesn't know how to describe them. According to Ji's mother, these people are from the same country as them, at least most of them are from the same country, and some come from other countries, but a country does not mean that they are all good people. Xin was older, and had seen how cruel the male slaves would do anything to escape. They didn't mind killing a few female slaves at all.

It is conceivable what the fate of the female slaves who provided convenience for them to escape, and the female slaves who were abandoned by them and did not take away, will be in the future.

Every year, soon after the new slaves are bought, there will be one or two escapes. They are always unwilling to give up, but they don't know that on this vast grassland, even if there are one or two horses, they can't run away. There are always a small number of men who chased and intercepted them and ran out.

There is such a scene almost every year. After seeing it a few times, Ji Xin no longer finds these people amiable. God knows if they will drag some of them to die together when they fail to escape.

He had seen one person know that there was no hope of escape, first killed the next one and then committed suicide. Ji Xin, who had lived in the tribe since he was a child, couldn't understand this kind of behavior. Isn't it good to live?Why die?

Speaking of which, the treatment of male slaves in the tribe is much better than that of female slaves. At least no one will worry about letting them have children. They are given more work, but their food is not deducted. Compared with the tribe, the food of the tribe is also very simple. Ji Xin has seen some male slaves make their own barbecue, which is very delicious. It makes people drool when it smells, but they dare not eat it.

Like the kind of male slaves who are capable, they are also easy to get ahead, know herbs, can cure diseases, and if they are cured twice, they will naturally be promoted, and they will no longer be squeezed into the sheepfold like other male slaves. With some credit, he can continue to be promoted, and maybe he can marry a wife in the future and live a serious life in the tribe.

Generally speaking, the tribe is not the kind that rejects male slaves to death. If the work assigned to them is done well, few people will deliberately beat and scold them. They have nothing to do, and their own tribe also has work Dry, like Ji Xin, is now resting in winter, otherwise there are things to do every day, either grazing, mowing grass, and picking up excrement to dry, which is also the work of children.

Even the children have things to do, so why should the male slaves just eat when they don’t work, so Ji Xin doesn’t quite understand their escape, and he doesn’t want to get close to these people.

Hearing what Ji Xin said, Ji Mo was dumbfounded, um, shouldn't he run away?People have families and businesses, maybe they have wives and children, and they were captured and sold as slaves. Not to mention anything else, the level of civilization here is definitely not as good as that of other countries. If you live in a place that is not as good as before, you can do it without escaping. ?

This has nothing to do with beating and scolding, people go to higher places!There is a bond in their hearts, of course they want to go home, but they may do things a little crazy in order to escape.

"Okay, I get it now."

Ji Mo responded in a muffled voice, feeling a little depressed in his heart. He had seen it a long time ago. No one in the tribe can carve, but those male slaves are more likely. Listening to Ji's mother's words, the people of that country Civilization, at least as far as the feudal society, has its own division of labor, and it is very likely to encounter someone who can carve.

Feeling that Ji Mo was not happy, Ji Xin touched him through the hat. The soft touch of wool was much better than oily hair, so he touched him again.

After a period of time, the children were still playing together. The days when they had nothing to do and could play wildly were like winter vacations. The children of various tribes were not familiar with each other at first. After a few days of leisure, they quickly became confused They are familiar, and some domestic children also come out to play, but they are not a small group with them.

The rank among the children is roughly like this. Those who are raised at home, those whose parents are members of the tribe, their status will be higher than that of Ji Mo, whose father is unknown but who is likely to be a member of the tribe, and Ji Mo This is higher than the children brought by the slaves themselves. They are usually the leaders of the slave trade, and some may die before they survive the winter.

"There is one in our place. He came with his grandfather. He may be dying. Every day, he sees his grandfather begging for help to treat his illness. How is it possible? Herbal doctors are only available in big tribes. We It can't stay here at all."

"Yeah, I also know that our tribe originally found one and cured two of them, but they were sent out by the patriarch very quickly. It is said that they were sent to the big tribe."

The children talked to each other, and the topic quickly turned to how herbal medicine cures diseases. They were really curious. The child who was lucky enough to see it would talk about it and tell what he had seen. It's a little thing, I said it repeatedly, and I was very proud.

Ji Mo listened silently, he understood a little bit, and he could think of some things, for example, these small tribes looked like loose sand with no foundation, but in fact, there were big tribes behind them, which is why the herbal doctor would The reason for being offered can be understood as a gift of tribute.

To connect with each other and get protection is the reason for the survival of the weak.

The children have almost no toys, and when they play together, talking besides running around is the most frequent and cheapest. There will also be a bit of performance in the process of talking, which is probably similar to dressing up as a white lady in a quilt , They will also tell the legendary stories they heard from the adults, such as goddesses and gods and men, which are far away and illusory.

This kind of fairy tale, Ji Mo can tell a few books in a minute, it sounds boring, and he left the small circle alone, going to find Ji Xin, Ji Xin was called away by A Lie today Yes, I don't know what's the matter.
