Chapter 18 [Reading Slave]

(Thank you for the reward and support of the two book friends "Zhao Wuxiu 2014" and "Guihai Xuyu"!)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Two horsemen and four horsemen, one in front and three behind, walking speechlessly in the vast wilderness.

Ma Han turned around and waved to the back: "Come here."

Niannu raised her sleeve and wiped the corners of her eyes, drove the horse to approach, and bent down: "Master, please give me instructions."

Well, such a pure and beautiful loli with an alien style, said to you the words "Master, please give me order" to you. It is really evil...

Fortunately, Ma Han was a man who had rolled on a lewd knife after all, so he still had a clear distinction between what occasions he did. Now, it was the time to talk.

"Niannu, right? I've given you so long to adjust, your mood should be almost calm, right?" Ma Han stretched out his hand and twisted her millet-colored hair. What Ma Han was most satisfied with was her hair, which was natural and soft, reflected in the sunshine, flashing like strands of gold threads.

Fortunately, although the Han slaves were all dressed in the left-sided Hu, they still maintained their own national hair habits and did not have hair as thick as the Wuwan people. The Wuwan people might not have the cruel "leaving their hair but not their heads" as the Jurchens in later generations, perhaps to distinguish between Han slaves and tribe members, and did not force Han slaves to wear hair.

Niannu glanced at the young and handsome new master in surprise and said with a little shyness and panic: "Niannu just separated from his grandfather, some, some... Please forgive me."

"Understanding, understanding, human nature." Ma Han nodded, "Now I want to tell you what you need to do for me."

"Master, please give me instructions." Niannu's voice was filled with inexplicable uneasiness. His slender hands holding the reins trembled slightly, and his hands were tightly squeaking the reins.

Ma Han didn't have time to pay attention to the little girl's subtle thoughts and continued to say it according to her own ideas: "Are you familiar with the terrain around you?"

"Yes, I have lived in this grassland for twelve years and migrated to six grasslands. Within a radius of 500 miles, I am familiar with me." It turned out that I was not what I thought, Niannu was feeling a little relieved.

The guide found the right thing, Ma Han was very satisfied with his smile: "Very good, it's noon now, we go to the woods over there to avoid the sun, and then you provide me with a place for accommodation nearby."

"As for orders, master."

The shade above the head is as cool as a cover, and the beauty beside him is as jade. With his harmless smile and infectious words, Ma Han slowly eliminates Niannu's strangeness and fear. The children of the grassland are straightforward by nature and will not be too disgusting and pretentious. Once they recognize you, they will open their hearts to you.

Through conversation, Ma Han realized that the reason why Niannu looked so different from the Han people was because her mother was an Anxi female slave who was captured by the Huns (later Persia, now Iran), who was repeatedly destroyed and resold and left the Xianbei. During the conflict between the Xianbei and the Wuwan people, she was captured by the Wuwan people. She was whipped and disfigured because of angering the nobles of the tribe. The charming Anxie daughter eventually became an ugly woman that everyone disliked. So she was given to her father by her master and gave birth to her. My grandfather said that she looked very much like her mother when she was not disfigured, and she was more beautiful than her mother.

And what does this beauty mean to a girl with a slave identity? It means disaster! Specifically for Niannu, it is not only a disaster for her own, but also a disaster for the entire Han slave group.

Just half a month ago, I accidentally heard the master of Niannu's beautiful name, and sent someone to ask for it. As a slave, everything belongs to the master, including his own children. After Niannu's mother gave birth to her, she died of dystrophy. Her father died early, and the one who brought her up was her grandfather.

Old Man Muji is a very experienced veterinarian. He has accepted many disciples of Han slaves and has a high prestige among Han slaves. Moreover, because he is a scarce talent in the tribe, even if he is a master of bone strength, he still has to give him some face. If not, he would not ask for it with kind words and directly rob people.

For the old man Muji who lost his son and daughter-in-law and had only one relative, Niannu was his eyeball. How could he destroy his granddaughter like a flower bud with a bone-like strength like a manta! At this time, the disciples led by Tangnu had already been suffering enough to abuse and persuaded the old man Muji to start a run away several times. The old man Muji could not make up his mind for a long time, and the matter of seeking a girl finally became the fuse.

So, the storm half a month ago kicked off the prelude to escape.

Ma Han finally understood that the reason why the old man Muji endured the pain of changing his granddaughter to his weapons was because he was too guilty. Because of his granddaughter, he put everyone's lives in danger. At this time, as long as there was a slight chance of increasing the chance of survival, he was even willing to sacrifice his life, including his beloved "eye ball". Niannu also felt guilty and was willing to be a slave. Everything was just to let everyone have a more chance of escaping and escape back to his hometown south of the Great Wall.

Han slaves like them fled in the five counties in the border areas of Han every year. Some of them succeeded, but more failed. So, can they succeed this time?

This is the real living status of the northern border people in the chaotic times of the late Han Dynasty. Ma Han sighed and comforted him: "I have never seen your young man's skills, so it is difficult to evaluate. If another group of Wuhuan people were hunted, the equipment and number of people were similar to those of Wuma, then I would replace the hard bow and sharp arrows I grabbed from the Khanlu King Cavalry Guard, as well as the sword, axe and armor, and the chance of winning would be increased by at least 50%.

"It would be great if that was the case. Brother Tangnu and his team were excellent in riding horses and shooting archery. Last year, they also received the roast sheep rewarded by King Khanlu at the Cage Conference. Ah! The master just said... those archery weapons were taken from King Khanlu's cavalry guards?"

Niannu was originally kneeling beside Ma Han, handing him water and cloth towels to try sweat. When he heard this, he jumped up like he was burned by fire.

"Sit down, sit down, don't be so excited." Ma Han said casually while trying to khan, "The bow and arrow were taken from the hands of King Khan Lu's cavalry guards. The sword, axe and armor were 'sent' by a guy named Gao Jian of the Jizhou Army."

Niannu looked up to the young master with disbelief and murmured: "I heard that King Khanlu's cavalry guards are the strongest warriors and the best shooters selected from each tent. Even Brother Donu was not selected..."

Ma Han nodded in agreement: "When I was in Hebei, I heard the rumors about the 'Wuwan Jing Riding the Crown Youyan', which was indeed very powerful. If I had encountered them a month ago, maybe I would have been the one who lay down."

"Hebei! Is the master from Hebei? I heard from my grandfather that I am from Hebei, and it is a beautiful place called Handan. I really want to go and see it!" Niannu looked back and looked south, and was extremely fascinated.

Ma Han leaned against the big tree and murmured: "So, I haven't returned to my hometown for a long time, even though it's been almost two thousand years..."

When Ma Han said "two thousand years", his voice was vague, and Niannu didn't hear it clearly, but only thought it was two years. At this moment, the two homesick people had a strange resonance, and the distance was closer.

Unfortunately, this subtle atmosphere lasted for a short time, and a rapid sound of hoofs was heard from afar, breaking everything.

Ma Han jumped up, put his hand curtain on his hand and looked into the distance for a while, and looked back and smiled at Gu Niannu: "It seems that some people are unwilling to let your pearl fall into my palm!"

Niannu stood up with a red face: "What..." Before she finished speaking, her face changed because she also saw the three knights running from afar.

Ma Han whistled with his lips, and was urging his three war horses to run quickly with the silver arrows that were roaring around with their noses. Ma Han was intimate with the silver arrows, and reached out to take off the leopard bow, and then pulled out three iron arrows.

At this time, Niannu had seen the appearance of the three knights clearly, and was surprised and happy. He rushed to Ma Han's feet and crawled and begged: "Master, don't hurt them. Niannu was willing to do everything for the master."

This sentence is even more confusing than the previous sentence "Master, please give me instructions", but Ma Han didn't have time to feel relieved because he had to face three two-stone hard bows and iron arrows. These hard bows and sharp arrows belonged to him one hour ago.
