"Old man, is there a village near here? How to get there?"

When going down the hillside, Tang Ningning happened to meet an old man carrying firewood. He was dressed strangely, a bit like the clothes of ancient people. He should be someone living nearby. She quickly went up to ask.

The old man stopped and said, "You're not a local, are you?"

Tang Ningning nodded.

The old man sighed and said, "Go straight south and there will be teahouses and inns. Get out of here quickly."

"How far is it from Yumen Pass?"

‘You are going to Dazhou?’ The old man was surprised for a moment.

Tang Ningning asked, "Is this far far from Yumen Pass of the Great Zhou Dynasty?"

"I've never been there, but I heard from people in the tribe that it's far away and we can't even go south." The old man's cloudy eyes were full of sadness, "You should leave quickly. If Daman finds out, he will take him back as a slave."

of."

Being a slave? Tang Ningning was puzzled. After asking around again, she found out that there was originally a group of indigenous residents in the Dog Tooth Mountain who did not belong to any country. Later, Mobei attacked here and killed the leader of the tribe.

Later, he occupied this place.

The people in the tribe surrendered and became vassals.

However, the people of the Mobei tribe did not regard them as human beings at all. They were taken to the big tent to be treated as animals, worked as coolies, and were humiliated and tortured.

The people of this tribe do not have enough to eat, nor do they have enough clothes to wear. They live a very difficult life. They are afraid that one day the Mobei tribe will come again to arrest people as coolies and hide in Tibet.

"The big tent is stationed in the area north of Mohe. It has brought hundreds of thousands of troops. It is said that it wants to go to war with Zhou Dynasty."

Seeing the old man's miserable expression, Tang Ningning felt a little shaken in her heart.

"Can I go to the village to take a look first?" Tang Ningning said.

Hearing this, the old man said, "It's better to leave quickly. Some people in the tribe have a strange disease that is contagious."

But Tang Ningning insisted, so the old man had no choice but to shoulder the burden and bring her back to the tribe.

It is said to be a tribe, but due to the influence of the Zhou culture, the entire tribe has become a village. There is a stone tablet at the entrance of the village with the name of the Hor tribe on it.

But as soon as she entered the village, Tang Ningning was shocked.

In the years of war and chaos, the whole village was deserted. There were women sitting at the door with their children in their arms, as skinny as firewood, and corpses lying on the street unclaimed. The whole village was quiet, with an inexplicable atmosphere of silence.

Suddenly, an old glutton ran out, crying loudly, and picked up all the corpses on the street.

The old man next to her was shocked, "It's fine, why is he dead?"

'Damn it, the Mobei tribe came to the village again yesterday to burn, kill and loot. Daga was so angry that he went to find Shiba, but he was infected when he came back.'

Shiba? Tang Ningning heard this old man say that this person was the one who got the strange disease.

"Quick, cover your nose, be careful of getting infected."

Seeing that the old man's face suddenly turned black, and the sores suddenly appeared, and there was still smelly thick water, which was exactly the same symptoms as the dead person.

Tang Ningning immediately pulled off a piece of cloth and covered her mouth and nose.

"What a sin."

When they heard the noise, some people came out to take a look. When they saw that someone was dead again, they all closed their doors and windows and did not dare to come out again. However, the mournful and painful cries could be heard from every house.

Tang Ningning was shocked when she saw red spots suddenly appearing on both father and son's faces and arms. They were densely packed and spread all over their bodies in an instant.

This--this is a grimace sore?

Grimace sore is a particularly terrible disease. Not only is it contagious, it is also extremely fast. In this day and age, the possibility of being cured is very slim.

"Girl, you'd better leave quickly. Don't drag you down. Our clan doesn't have food to help you. However, you can come home with me. I have a horse that has been with me for many years. You can ride it home quickly."

The old man seemed to feel that his end was approaching and explained to her.

Along the way, there were people who starved to death and died on the streets, and people who were shot to death by arrows. The whole tribe was lifeless.

When he got home, the old man took out the hidden horse and said, "I hid this horse tightly so that it was not discovered by the Mobei people. I have been raising it until now. I will give it to you. Go home as soon as possible."

Tang Ningning looked at the horse. It was an old horse. It seemed to have been injured and seemed to be lacking in energy and blood.

"Old man, what do you eat on weekdays?"

The old man sighed, "In the past, we could drink some millet porridge, squeeze goat's milk, and eat some meat. But now they have been robbed by the Mobei people. The people in the tribe can only collect onions, mustard, and catch soil."

They plowed the boxwood and went down to the river to catch fish, but the Mohe River was too deep and many people died. In recent years, the wild animals on the Moshan Mountain were also burned and killed by the Mobei people. Day after day, many people starved to death.

"

Speaking of this, the old man couldn't help but cry bitterly, "He, Ana, was the one who starved to death ---"

Tang Ningning was shocked, and a silent sadness rose in her heart.

"Forget it, it's been too long. By the way, not far to the south, there is the Miya tribe. They learned to grow food from the people of Dazhou. We trade currency and interact with them. You can sell the horses after you go there.

, change some food to eat, otherwise, I’m afraid I won’t be able to go home.”

Tang Ningning thanked her and led the horse outside.

Behind him is a lifeless tribe.

Further north, there is endless grassland. The Mobei tribe is stationed north of Mohe. They are not used to the land and mountains here, so they allow people from other tribes to settle down.

Tang Ningning sat on the horse and looked into the distance for a long time. She had never been to the desert and always thought it was picturesque. But after listening to the old man's words, she couldn't help but wonder if Bo Xi really captured her to the north of Mohe.

I can never go back to my hometown.

When she was about to leave, Tang Ningning looked back for a few times, her eyes a little sore.

How long can the Hall people live?

"Aha--where are you from?"

Suddenly, a little girl's voice came. Tang Ningning looked up and saw a little girl hiding in the desert sands of the Gobi. She was holding a slingshot and smiling mischievously at her.

Slingshot, there is actually a slingshot here.

"Who are you?"

The little girl smiled and patted the sand on her body and stood up, "My name is Tana."

"I'm from Dazhou, my name is Tang Ningning."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "People from Dazhou?" The little girl was overjoyed. She walked down the sandy slope and ran towards her, "Can you take me to Dazhou?"

'

After hearing this, Tang Ningning asked, "Where is your family? Why do you want to go to Dazhou?"

Tana's golden eyes immediately darkened and she curled her lips, "Ata Ana was shot to death by the Mobei people with arrows." Then she raised her smile again, "I heard from Brother Yimo that Dazhou is fun.

, there is no killing, you see, he got my slingshot from the Zhou people."

Yimo Tangning asked, "Are they from your tribe?"

Tana shook her head, and the gauze scarf around her head swayed with the wind and sand, revealing a small face that was ravaged by the wind and sand, 'Brother Imoo is a member of the Miya tribe, and they are not far from here. I can take you there.'

This horse might not be able to carry her back to Dazhou. Tang Ningning looked at the girl and finally nodded, "Come up."

The two of them and one horse rode all the way south. Tana was very familiar with the place here. The two of them chose the remote roads. Along the way, Tang Ningning asked a lot of questions and found out that there were many tribes in this place.

They were all annexed by the Mobei people, and now there are not many left.

"Aha, is there a war in the Great Zhou Dynasty?"

Tang Ningning rode her horse and shook her head, "No." After a pause, she couldn't help but remind her, "According to the customs of our Zhou people, you should call me Sister Ning."

Tana said excitedly, 'Sister Ning, Sister Ning--'

"Is Dazhou fun? I heard from Brother Yimo that it's peaceful there, and there's tea, delicious food, and a lot of sideshows."

"The Central Plains is very interesting. When you arrive, I will take you to see it." Tang Ningning chuckled.

Tana narrowed her crescent eyes happily, her golden eyes were cute and cute, "It's settled, you will take me to the Central Plains."

"good."

After Tang Ningning finished speaking, she hugged the horse's belly and ran.

The two of them traveled through the Dog Tooth Mountain, and soon Tang Ningning stopped on a piece of sand. Surrounded by some abandoned rusty knives and guns, as well as arrow clusters, there were also several remains that had not been transported away.

A few steps ahead are a few rocks, a clear spring, and a large dry tree.

"Let the horse drink some water and rest before leaving." Tang Ningning dismounted while holding Tana in her arms.

Tana said, "This spring water is very precious, we can also drink it." As she said that, she took out a water bag from her arms and filled a whole pot.

'Sister Ning, drink, you can drink.'

Tang Ningning was thirsty for a long time, so she didn't hold back. She drank it after taking it. After drinking it with cold water, she finally felt much better and her lips were not so chapped.

Seeing Tana go to fill the water again, she led the horse to the bottom of the spring.

He sat on the sand, leaned against the tree, and closed his eyes slightly.

"A fox, it shines in the southern moon, whistles are blown, ropes are closed, and the sound of drums and horns is heard——"
