Chapter 332: Murder over goods

Continuous journeys made Liu Yu's body almost overdrawn to the limit.

After spending more than 20 days of wind and eating weeds, not only can’t keep up with the nutrition, but also bring many sequelae. He felt that his face should be as green as the grass. Now he felt nauseous when he thought of the taste of drafting. Only when he was dizzy and unable to move, he would stop to find something to eat.

Encountering the Gobi Desert was another blow to him.

If he cannot go south to the Central Plains, he has to go northwest, which will be further away from his hometown, which also means that he has to walk more roads before he can go home. After walking for more than twenty days, he is a little depressed. If he continues like this, he really doesn't know when it will be. He has to sit down and rest more and more every day, and he really has no energy to rush on his way for a long time.

On the 23rd day, after Liu Yu walked northwest for two days, the water source finally increased again, and the Gobi Desert seemed to be far away. Liu Yu still dared not slacken. If the same happened before, he could only return the same way. Walking on the Gobi Desert would definitely be a death sentence. At noon that day, he was resting under a mound, and suddenly he seemed to hear the sound of cattle and sheep.

Although he was sleeping hazy, he immediately jumped up from the ground. What he felt was not a sense of vitality, but danger. This is the territory of the grassland people.

The two yurts had not appeared before going to bed. They were already standing more than a mile away, not far away. Liu Yu looked at the sky first. After noon, he quickly picked up his telescope and looked at the yurt. Except for some livestock around him, he saw no figure. Liu Yu looked carefully for a while, but still did not notice the existence of humans.

"Is this a gift from God?"

Liu Yu had a miserable smile on his face. He knew that this was a whim. Someone must have been stocked with these yurts and livestock. But I don’t know where the people went. Liu Yu didn’t want to miss such a good opportunity. He would die if he let him eat grass for a few days. Even if he had to fight the mighty Turkic man, he would try the opportunity to be a human being again.

Liu Yu touched a stone as big as a brick and went down the hill, bypassing a low bush, and approached the yurt carefully. While walking, he was also observing the surrounding situation. After confirming that there was no one, he realized that the person was probably in a yurt. Two yurts, this should be a family, men, women, young and old should live in one yurt, and the other should be piled up with debris, and there is a kitchen? Liu Yu obviously took it for granted. For safety, he decided to check the situation in the yurt first.

After going around to the first yurt, Liu Yu lifted a little curtain and listened carefully, without any sound. Then to the second one, there was still no sound. Even if you were asleep, it would not be so silent. Liu Yu felt an unprecedented sense of happiness in his heart. As soon as he rolled around, he had already entered the second yurt.

When he saw it in, Liu Yu first looked for a living object. Yes, yes, but he was a child, still in a cradle, wrapped in a sheepskin stall, as if he was sleeping soundly. Liu Yu let out a long sigh and quickly found something useful to him. He glanced at the water bag hanging on the wall. After opening it, a milky smell mixed with the aroma of wine came to his nose.

Liu Yu grinned and smiled in surprise. He didn't know if it was a wine mixed with goat's milk or horse milk. It didn't matter. This thing can quench thirst and drink a few sips at night to keep the cold. Even after drinking it, the water bag can hold water, so you don't have to worry about the water source. It's really a good thing that no one can change. Liu Yu knew that there was not much time, so he hurriedly looked for it again. Under a cloth covered with a yurt, he found a few large pieces of bacon. Liu Yu immediately took a bite. It was fragrant and delicious. The first bite of meat was almost swallowed by him.

With wine and meat, Liu Yu dared not ask for anything else. He knew that this was the territory of the Turks, and greed would be a bad thing. Before the master came back, he ran away as soon as possible. Just as he was about to leave the tent, he suddenly heard a horse scream, and Liu Yu felt a sudden sound. He didn't see the horse before he came in. That means the master was back.

Without any warning, the curtain was suddenly lifted open. Liu Yu didn't expect the owner to come back so quickly. At this time, he was holding the bacon in one hand and holding the wine bag in the other. He didn't even know where the stone was thrown away. Without saying a word, Liu Yu rushed towards the direction of the person coming from the curtain. The owner obviously did not expect that there would be thieves at home. Before the curtain was about to open, Liu Yu's head had already hit the person's chest and knocked him to the ground. Liu Yu's bacon in his hand loosened and his hand was already pinching the person's neck.

The person who came was not tall, Liu Yu first looked up and saw that he had no accomplices. Then he looked closely. He was just a woman on the grassland. She was a little fat but very strong woman. She was in her thirties and had some clothes in the baskets scattered beside her. Maybe she had just washed it. The woman was suddenly attacked by a thief and hurriedly touched the sword on her waist. Liu Yu pressed his hand and used all her strength like a tiger. He snatched her scabbard without scabbard and inserted it into the woman's chest.

From the beginning of struggle to the gradually disappearing, Liu Yu stumbled the woman's pulse and stopped. Then he got up from the woman's body and his whole body was trembling involuntarily. It was not until he stood up that he found that the woman's belly was round, obviously a mother who was pregnant and about to give birth.

Liu Yu tried his best to throw away everything in his mind, and ignored the body. He walked into the house to pick up the bacon and wine bag. At this time, the children in the house seemed to feel the abnormality between their mother and their unborn brother and sister, and kept crying. The crying made Liu Yu feel upset. Liu Yu hurriedly found two clothes to put on him. He thought very clearly that such Turkic camps could not be approached anymore in the future. He had to prepare all the things he needed at once. After putting the clothes on his body, he came out quickly. After thinking about pulling out the knife from the woman's body, he hurriedly rubbed it on the grass a few times, rubbing most of the blood on the knife off.

When I looked up, I saw that the horse that the woman had just ridden not far away was just tied to the wooden pillars inserted into the ground.

If it is a war horse, you will definitely get frightened when you meet a stranger. However, Liu Yu looked at it and said that it was an ordinary stallion that was not castrated, which means it was not a war horse. Liu Yu also learned some tricks of horse training and used some food to lure it. The horse was very obedient. So Liu Yu jumped on the horse in a panic and ran quickly to the west for thirty or forty miles before stopping, lying in a depression, his whole heart was still jumping around unyieldingly.

This was the first time Liu Yu killed someone with his own hands. He was still a mother and an unarmed woman. Liu Yu felt guilt from the bottom of his heart, as if he had stained people's life. But soon, this feeling of guilt was faded.

Unarmed?

Liu Yu smiled bitterly. The situation just now was either she died or I died! If the woman had just received the knife, would he give up the life of this thief? One was a Turkic person, the other was a Central Plains man who invaded their homeland. The two were enemies of us. Liu Yuxin said that he had commanded the army and killed thousands of people. What's the point of killing another one?

Psychological comfort cannot eliminate guilt after all, but Liu Yu thought about the suffering he had suffered these days, and then he thought that getting these things might bring his own vitality, he could only let go of his guilt for the time being, thinking that if he died on the grassland, he would only become a lonely ghost.

Everything is for survival.

Liu Yu immediately thought, will the woman's man come to chase him? Could it be that he is just a left-behind woman who goes out to fight? An evil greed rises again. If this is the case, why not go back and try it? This time I have weapons and find something valuable to come back?

But he still gave up this idea. He knew that many Turkic people lived in groups and weighed the danger. Now that there are horses, there is no need to hike anymore. There are meat and water bags, and there is some weed to save some food. It can last for half a month. Half a month of riding is enough to get out of this vast prairie. Why do you have to take the risk of fighting the Turkic people again?

Thinking about this, Liu Yu jumped on the horse again. He was still afraid that the woman's family or tribe members would find traces of his escape to take revenge. It was not until the evening that he found a secret place to fall asleep. Because of the wool blanket and sabre, there were things to keep warm at night and weapons to fight against the enemy. Liu Yu felt at ease when he fell asleep again.

When the moon reached the sky, Liu Yu woke up, and thought that the woman died with her eyes open, and she could not sleep no matter how hard she slept.

Liu Yu had to get up and rush, after all, he was used to walking at night.

It was not a marching, nor a horse trained war horse. Liu Yu was not going fast all the way. After seven or eight days, he removed his fear of running for life. He knew that no one could track him down again.

As he walked west, Liu Yu didn't know how far he had walked. After calculating for a while, he walked thousands of miles and walked south for a while. He did not notice the Gobi Desert or the grassland. At this time, he turned to the south. At the same time, he also prayed that he would never leave the border of Shunchao, go to Mobei, and enter the border of the natives such as Dashi.

Walking further south, there was still no one in the crowd. Liu Yu walked and stopped and finally saw the shadow of the town before he finished eating. However, this town did not look like the Dashun border facing the northern border that Liu Yu imagined, but was a piece of land buns, just like a earth kiln built from the Gobi Desert, not the style of Central Plains architecture.

"My God, you can't be the native after I wandered, right?" After Jiu Pan finally saw the human race and was initially excited, Liu Yu immediately thought of this question.

Liu Yu looked at his clothes. He had never washed them before, but he had a sheepskin coat outside and had no sleeves, like a vest, and a long gown from the Central Plains people inside, and a Confucian shirt.

It really is a combination of north and south, and it is inconsistent, not like the Turks or the Han people.

In foreign lands, races are very important. Usually, all kinds of people on the border have them. In order to survive, they will consciously form a camp and help each other. He knows that if he enters the town like this, he will definitely be slaughtered by a monster. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
