Chapter 436: I beg you, I beg you A crackling bonfire burns.
Chen Daolin threw a pile of hay into the fire, and then carefully turned over a leg of lamb on the fire, trying to make the meat evenly roasted by the flame.
On the ground behind her, Anicee snorted softly before finally opening her eyes.
The little girl sat up sharply She looked around with wide eyes.
At this time, it is already late at night, surrounded by endless grasslands, in the night, you can hear the autumn insects making their final chirps, you can feel the evening breeze that is gradually chilling, you can see the starry sky, you can see the bright moon like a hook.
Anicee looked around in a daze, at the sky, and at the back of the man sitting by the fire.
She bowed her head and was covered with a blanket.
When I looked back, I saw my dog lying in the grass nest, and the sheep were there.
Anicee was stunned for a moment, her eyes a little hollow.
At this moment, she saw the tall man turn around and smile at herself, and in the slight firelight, he smiled very specially, with snow-white teeth.
His figure didn't know if it was the fire or his smile in the firelight, as if it brought a touch of warmth to Anice.
"Hungry or not" Chen Daolin gently cut off a piece of mutton and handed it to Anice.
Seeing that the little girl took it in her hand in a daze, but did not eat it, Chen Daolin smiled lightly again: "There is no seasoning, only a little salt."
Well, be careful when you eat it, it's hot.
Uh, don't worry, your sheep are here, I didn't kill your sheep. ” Anicee was stunned, looked at Chen Daolin, and then looked down at the piece of mutton in his hand that was worn with an iron tong, exuding heat and aroma.
"I" the little girl shrugged the tip of her nose and tried to say softly in a calm and hoarse voice, "I fell asleep so everything was a dream, right?"
She stared at Chen Daolin nervously and seriously, like a frightened little beast.
He repeated in a low voice: "It's a dream, it's all a dream, right, isn't it a fairy, you tell me, it's all a dream."
Isn't that right?"
Chen Daolin looked at the girl's eyes and saw the strong expectation in those eyes.
Suddenly, his heart softened, and he tried to smile and said softly: "It's all a dream." ” In Anice's eyes, the flame of anticipation suddenly went out.
She began to cry, and tears flowed out of her eyes.
Gradually, the sobbing turned into a bitter cry, into a wail.
She threw away the piece of mutton in her hand.
Holding his knees, he buried his head between his knees and began to cry bitterly.
Chen Daolin looked at it for a while, sighed softly, and walked to Anice's side.
Sit down.
He hesitated, then stretched out an arm and gently hugged the little girl.
Anicee raised his head and looked at Chen Daolin, his eyes were full of sadness: "It's really not a dream."
The grandma I know and I know is dead, and my brother is dead.
The tribe is gone, and the home is gone."
The little girl kept crying, crying for a long, long time.
Chen Daolin didn't stop her from crying anymore.
He knew very well that at this moment, this child needed to vent the sadness in his heart in this way.
When Anicee finally got tired of crying. couldn't cry anymore, so Chen Daolin cut a piece of meat again.
He stretched out his fingers, pinched Anice's chin, stared into her eyes, and said in a serious tone, "I know you're sad even if you want to cry."
You also have to eat something first, and only when you are full will you have the strength to continue crying.
And I've heard you say that you still have your father and brother here, so you should eat your stomach and live before you have a chance to see your father and brother."
Anicee stayed for a while, but she burst into tears: "The family is gone, the tribe is gone, my father and brother are gone, even if I come back, I can't find me, my aunt is gone, my brother is gone, my father and brother can't see them when they come back."
That night, Anicee didn't say anything more, just remained silent.
When it was daybreak, the dog jumped up and ran to Anice's side, trying to arch her hand with his head, and then stuck out his tongue to lick Anice's palm.
Anicee didn't move.
The sheep began to bleat restlessly, and then ran around grazing, running farther and farther.
Anicee didn't move.
Chen Daolin didn't know what this little girl was thinking, maybe it would take her a long time to digest such a tragedy.

He quietly led the sheep back, retrieved the horse, and calmed the dog.
Then he carried Ani on the road, led the pony, a flock of sheep, and a dog, and slowly went east.
In the vast grassland, there are almost no reliable references, Chen Daolin just discerns the direction according to the position of the sun, and just goes all the way to the east.
In fact, he hadn't figured out how to arrange the little girl in his arms.
Last night, in the ruined tribe, Chen Daolin approached the surviving herdsmen.
From the mouths of those herdsmen, the intermittent and fragmented words pieced together a general truth: In the evening, another tribe of the steppe attacked the tribe.
The men burned and looted, the young women were robbed, the cattle and sheep, and the horses were also taken.
The old and the weak and the children are either killed or abandoned.
Of the entire tribe, fewer than twenty people survived.
Chen Daolin gathered them together, and after questioning, he knew that these herdsmen were going to gather together after dawn and go westward to find other tribes in the west, and their only choice was to run to other places to try to join other tribes, and they could be taken in by other tribes.
Chen Daolin also wants to show kindness and help them.
He tried to get the surviving old and weak herders to follow him.
But sadly, his request was denied.
The herders did not trust Chen Daolin as a stranger.
And Chen Daolin even tried to use the excuse that he was "a person on the holy mountain" at that time.
But to Chen Daolin's surprise, even if he used this hand this time, instead of getting the support of these survivor herdsmen, he did He was greeted with hateful eyes Then he heard a herdsman speak, and he was relieved of his doubts.
"I saw the robbers under the banner of the White King" "Yes, it is the banner of the White King, and the White King is the son of the Holy Mountain" "Is this the punishment of the men of God on the Holy Mountain?"
Herders do have a traditional belief in the snow-capped mountains, but such beliefs.
After all, his relatives were killed and his homes burned In fact, if it weren't for Chen Daolin's fast walk, there would have been surviving herdsmen rushing up.
Attacked him with his hands and teeth.
Chen Daolin naturally would not hurt these poor people again, so he could only choose to retreat.
Before leaving, he threw out a bag of gold coins and threw it on the ground.
He took Anicee with him.
Intellectually, he is not optimistic about the fate of those survivors, and the herdsmen who have lost their tribe generally end up very pitiful.
Even if they could find other tribes and be taken in, they would all be reduced to slaves.
On the grassland, it's about survival, not human feelings.
Anicee is such a little girl.
If she stayed there and followed those people, Chen Daolin even doubted that those people would throw her away halfway.
She's just a kid after all.
She can't work, she only consumes food.
Before leaving, of course.
Chen Daolin was on the edge of the tribe and picked up a lamb that had been trampled to death by a horse's hooves, which he took back as a ration.
Anicee felt herself being held in her arms by the man, walking all the way.
The man walks very fast, but very light.
Anicee curled up, in the man's arms, as if lying on the felt of his own house.
He walked steadily.
It's steady, it's steady Anicee slept several times, woke up several times, and had many dreams, dreaming of his father and his brother.
I dreamed of my grandmother, my brother, and the lame uncle.
But in the dream, there are so many people in the family, but they can't see themselves, and they don't seem to be able to see Anice.
A few dreams.
I woke up a few times, and wept a few times.
In the evening, Chen Daolin stopped to rest again.
He wasn't tired himself.
But the sheep and the dogs and the horses could not bear it.
He wanted to throw away these "burdens" several times, but he thought that these things were the only things that the poor little girl in his arms had, and he still couldn't give up his mind after all.

I remember that Du Weiwei's chick said that I am a woman's benevolence, it seems that Lao Tzu is indeed ah In the evening, Chen Daolin boiled a pot of mutton soup, and then almost semi-forcedly, forcibly poured a bowl of Anice.
The little girl was crying and coughing at the same time, coughing heartbreakingly, but Chen Daolin was just tough and ruthless.
"If you don't eat, I'll kill your dogs, your sheep, your horses."
After Chen Daolin said such words, Anicee was silent for a while, looked at Chen Daolin in fear, and then grabbed a piece of mutton, soup, and desperately stuffed it into his mouth, crying while stuffing.
When it was completely dark, Anicee finally stopped crying.
She sat by the fire with her knees crossed, far away.
Chen Daolin couldn't bear it, so he hugged her over, closer to the fire.
At night, Chen Daolin was thinking about something else when he suddenly heard Anice, who was sitting by the fire, singing softly.
Yes, I listened carefully twice, this little girl, singing a ballad with a very peculiar tune.
The voice is high-pitched, crisp, and of course a little tired hoarse, a little desolate.
But she was singing.
"The stars in the sky are shining The girl's hair was long.
Long hair, Cut a stubble, grow a stubble.
Like the grass that grows on the ground.
Far away the holy mountain is high The guy's eyes lit up.
Your eyes are bright.
Open up, good girl.
It's like the snow of the holy mountain. ” Hearing this, Chen Daolin didn't think too much, he just felt that the little girl should be melancholy and miss her family, so she would sing such a folk song.
But then, the tune of the ballad suddenly changed "The stars in the sky are shining The king's scimitar shines.
The herdsmen's heads are long, Like the grass on the prairie, Cut a stubble, grow a stubble The king's scimitar shines, Whoever takes my father, who kills my mother, who slaughters my people."
Groov When he heard "Who will recruit my father, who will kill my mother, who will slaughter my clan", Chen Daolin's heart suddenly sank He stared at Anice's face, only to find the little girl's face.
It's full of gloom.
Chen Daolin thought in his heart, not knowing how to comfort this child.
And at this moment, Anicee suddenly got up.
Small body, staggering. crookedly walked to Chen Daolin's side.
She suddenly knelt in front of Chen Daolin.
In the little girl's dark eyes, there was a trace of childishness, but there was also a trace of firmness.
She raised her head, lifted her chin, and looked into Chen Daolin's eyes.
Then she suddenly untied the loose braids in her hair with both hands, and let it fall loose.
Then she touched it from her arms, and after touching it for a long time, she shuddered and found a low-quality cow bone comb, which had several broken teeth and yellowed in color.
The little girl held the comb in both hands and knelt in front of Chen Daolin.
She was in tears.
But in her sharp and thin voice, there was a hint of firmness far beyond her years.
"Abba told me, my mother told me, my brother told me, they all said that they were gods on the holy mountain.
They are all supernatural powers, and they have many, many very extraordinary skills.
Immortal, I know that you are a very powerful person.
You saved my life and sheltered me, and I don't know how to thank you enough.
I just want to beg you to teach me the skills that only the gods know, for my aunt and brother.
There are also dead people seeking justice.
Please, please, please, please" In the end, the little girl couldn't cry, her little body was trembling, but she insisted on talking: "I had nothing but a few sheep and a horse.
And a dog, I know that all of this is far from enough to pay you.
I can only dedicate myself to you, please let me be your slave girl, I will spend my life serving you, I can herd cattle and sheep for you, I can run horses for you.
I can mow the grass for you, I can do all the work, I will do it with all my strength, I only need to eat a little food every day, I will never be lazy in my work, even if you whip me, I will only praise you in my heart, and I will never have the slightest resentment. etc., etc., etc."
Speaking of this, Anicee cried and trembled a little: "Wait, when I grow up, I grow up a little bit, I, I can still be your woman."
Abba and Grandma said, I will be beautiful when I grow up, and I can also have children for you Grandma gave birth to a brother, gave birth to me, and gave birth to a younger brother.

I am my grandma's daughter, and I will definitely be able to give birth to a lot of me in the future, and I am willing to give everything.
Immortals, just begging you, begging you" With that, Anicee began to kowtow vigorously.
She had grass clippings on her forehead.
Chen Daolin was a little stunned.
He stared at the little girl in front of him.
When I first met the day before yesterday, I was simply panicked and nervous like a deer, and when I ate candy, I would show a satisfied smile like a cat, with clear and simple eyes At this moment, his face was full of grief, his forehead was red, and he was full of grass clippings, and he tried to impress himself with almost childish words and pleadings, and promised to use the most humble and pitiful gestures And the non-stop, repeated, with a sharp and thin voice: I beg you I beg you Chen Daolin was stunned for a while, and it was not until the flame of hope in Anice's eyes was gradually extinguished, and the little girl was almost desperate, that Chen Daolin finally reacted.
He gently pulled Anicee up, patted her on the grass and dirt on her pants, then took out his handkerchief and wiped her forehead and face.
In the end, Chen Daolin took the comb, helped Anicee comb her hair, and then inserted it into her hair as a hairpin.
Chen Daolin's expression was very serious: "I'm a person who doesn't like the word slave in my hometown, and there is no such word in the world."
Anice's body was trembling, and Chen Daolin immediately realized that the child probably thought he was rejecting her.
Finally, sighed.
"In the future, you can follow me, and I will accept you as an apprentice.
Well, you can call me teacher in the future. ” Anice's eyes lit up immediately "Old Teacher" "Yes, teacher."
Chen Daolin said softly: "In the future, you follow me, and I will take you back to my home."
There is enough to eat, to be warmly clothed, not to be cold and not to starve.
No one will bully you.
I will teach you many, many things to make you a great person.
Well, that's what the word means. ” Suddenly something seemed to melt in Anice's eyes.
She cried out, hugged Chen Daolin's arm with both hands, and pinched Chen Daolin's arm with her small thin fingers.
Then, with almost all her strength, Anicee cried out: "Teacher" A man, a little girl, a pony, a dog, a few sheep.
A long walk on the prairie.
All the way to the east.
It's fate, maybe not.
"Is it almost there?"
Du Weiwei, who was riding on a horse, stretched out his hand to cover his forehead and looked into the distance.
Beside him, a chubby officer who got up on his horse hurriedly bent down and nodded with a humble gesture of fear: "Quick, soon, Lord Duke has an hour, well, at most an hour, it will be there."
Du glanced at this guy slightly, nodded, and then suddenly smiled, and then said lightly: "Duncan, as long as you do well, I will forgive you for your capital crime."
But if you don't do it well."
Duncan's body trembled, and he hurriedly said: "Lord Duke, even if I fight for this life, I will definitely do the things you have explained properly, and there will never be a trace of mistakes."
Du Weiwei didn't pay attention to this guy anymore.
She turned her head and looked to the other side.
Dixon and Hook also rode horses, just a little behind Du Weiwei.
"You two, if I'm not mistaken, you don't think you have seen the territory that your master has created.
I've heard a lot about this place, and I've always been curious about how many interesting things he has come up with."
