Chapter 434 [World! Brother is back!]

Ainise gently shook the whip in his hand.

The black eyes were staring at the lamb in front of him... The largest one was called Pizi. My mother said that when it was cold in winter, she would use the Pizi skin to make a new felt for herself. If there was extra material, she could find a skilled herder to make a pair of boots.

But Ainise had always been a little reluctant. Her voice was soft and her temperament was gentle. Unlike other sheep who liked to run around, they always had to chase after him with a whip. They always liked to stand in place to eat grass, and when they were full, they lay down and nap in the grass nest.

In winter, Ainise likes to sleep with the skin on her body. It has a warm feeling on her body. Even the dogs she raises at home like to drill around the skin.

But my mother said that she must kill the skin during the winter this year - it is too old and can no longer produce milk.

Whenever I think of my mother's words, Ainise felt a little melancholy - of course, at her age, she still doesn't know what melancholy means.

The lives of herders are getting harder and harder.

Last month, my dad and brother left and were taken away by those teams riding horses and holding scimitars.

My dad didn't say anything when he left. My brother hugged me and shed tears, telling him to take good care of my mom and brother.

Ainise asked his brother when he would come back. He said that as long as he defeated the Rolanders in the desert, he would be able to go home.

My brother is only sixteen years old. Last year, my mother said she would find him a wife this year. She also said that if a young man has no wife, he would not be able to live a life at all.

Ainise knew that many girls in the tribe liked their brothers, so Toya once secretly stuffed her a handkerchief and asked her to give it to her brother.

The handkerchief still came from the hands of those Roland merchants.

In fact, Ainisai likes those Rolanders very much. They can always bring some strange and fun things. The brother gave it to herself that handkerchief embroidered with flowers. Every time Ainisai touches the delicate patterns on it, he will think in his heart. It would be great that he could embroider such beautiful flowers.

Grandma said that Grandma and his brother went to war and it would take a long time to come back.

My younger brother is only six years old and can't even ride a horse. My mother said that there is no man at home to teach my younger brother to ride a horse. As a child on the grassland, he can't ride a horse and will be laughed at. So my mother ran to ask for help. After begging for a long time, she found Uncle Hukot in the tribe to teach her younger brother.

Uncle Hukot is already very old, and he is also lame. Because of this, when my father and brother were taken away by the cavalry, Uncle Hukot stayed in the tribe.

Uncle Hukot is a good person, but every time he teaches his younger brother to ride a horse, he will hold his younger brother and cry, saying that his younger brother is a poor child.

He also slaps a fun straw man for Ainise and his brother to play with.

Unfortunately, a few days ago, Uncle Hukot was also taken away - although he was a lame leg, he was still captured by the cavalry.

My mother said that the Grassland King gave the latest order, that all men on the Grassland, from fifteen to fifty, would join the army and fight for him. Anyone who did not listen to the Grassland King would be beheaded. The entire tribe would become slaves.

But my dad, brother and men in the tribe were taken away, but life was still getting harder and harder.

I heard that a few days ago, another tribe kept ordering from the Grassland King, and was sent to the army to attack. Those who were fighting set a fire and burned a large area of ​​grassland.

Many tribes have been affected and are migrating.

The original pasture of Anisse's tribe was snatched by many outsiders. There were not many men in the tribe, so naturally they could not snatch them, so they could only retreat step by step.

Those foreign tribes are very hateful, just like robbers. They not only robbers, but also rob cattle and sheep and horses.

Ainise, her mother and her younger brother wandered with the tribe. Every time she was worried, she left the original pasture. What if her brother and her father came back and couldn't find us?

Sitting by the river, the young Ainise looked at the lamb eating grass on the shore and sighed softly.

A pair of small feet was soaked in the river. The cold river water made her feel very comfortable. She bit a piece of grass in her mouth. Ainise was already very experienced. When chewing this grass, the grass juice was very astringent at the beginning, but as long as you chew it for a while, you would slowly, slowly, feel a hint of sweetness.

Recently, no one can eat enough, and the food is getting less and less. Seeing that autumn is half over and the grassland is getting withering, Ainise once accidentally heard his mother complaining to others: I don’t know how many people will starve to death this winter.

Ainise was a little scared.

She was afraid of starvation, and it felt very uncomfortable to be hungry.

But now there is no plump grassland, and even cattle and sheep cannot eat enough, and the hungry sheep naturally cannot produce milk. The little lamb is so hungry that he screams everywhere every day. My mother said that if it really doesn't work, it can only be killed.

Sighing softly, Ainise suddenly heard a little wind. She raised her head vigilantly and looked around.

This place is not far from the Holy Mountain.

Sitting on the riverside, you can clearly see the mountain in the distance. When the weather is good, you can see that the snow lines on the mountain are all white.

My mother said that the god who lives on the mountain will bless us grassland people.

When he was young, my brother said that when he grew up, he thought of going up the snow-capped mountains and becoming a servant of God.

Those servants of God would sometimes come down the mountain and wander among tribes. Anise had seen them once. Those people like to wear strange robes. Everyone saluted them, but they were still very polite.

Two years ago, a servant of God came to the tribe and stayed for one night. The brother secretly ran away outside the tent for a night. At dawn, the servant of God said a few words to his brother, and his brother never mentioned the fact that he had gone up the mountain again.

Ainise asked his brother what the servant of God said to him. His brother's reaction was very annoyed. He never got angry with his younger brother and sister. He pushed Ainise hard and said viciously: You have to care!

Ainise guessed that his brother must have been rejected by God's servant.

This holy mountain cannot be approached at will. Especially the shepherds cannot grazle at the foot of the mountain.

Although the aquatic plants here are the most fertile on the entire grassland. Although the river flowing down from the holy mountain irrigates here and nourishes this grassland, the water flow never stops even in the cold winter.

However, there are strict bans on the grassland, and no tribe or herder is allowed to grazle in this pasture at the foot of the Holy Mountain. Everyone is worried that such actions will disturb the gods on the mountain and will disrespect them. If the angry gods will reward the disaster.

So, when Ainise was grazing here, he was always worried.

She had no choice... If she didn't find a way, the sheep in her family would starve to death. If the sheep were all dead, then she, her mother and younger brother would also die.

In fact, Ainise knew that apart from himself, several other children in the tribe were also doing the same thing quietly.

After all, they are children, and they don’t have that strong sense of awe of authority, and... those divine servants who have been to the tribe don’t seem to be that scary either.

Besides... everyone is about to starve to death. No matter how severe the ban is, if people cannot eat enough, then not many people will care about the gods that cause disasters.

Despite this, Ainise still has to be careful. She would drive the sheep out every morning. She walked up and arrived near this pasture for a short while and grazed sheep by the river. She rushed back before dark.

Pizi and other sheep liked it very much. Even in late autumn, the grass here was still tender. But the dog was a little unhappy. The black dog ran behind the horse's butt, always sticking out his tongue and gasping.

My mother knew that Ainise would come here to herd the sheep secretly. My mother didn't say anything, nor did she prohibit Ainise from doing this... The whole family always had to survive.

My mother just secretly told Ainisa that she must be careful. If she is caught, don’t care about the sheep. Just run away first.

I heard that the king's cavalry will appear nearby recently and patrol along the river. Because the King of Grassland knew that more and more herders came here to graz, the situation made the King of Grassland very unhappy. He thought that this would anger the gods and cause disasters.

I heard from people in the tribe that the cavalry of the grassland kings was very cruel. They would catch the shepherds secretly grazing here, then kill the people, insert a pole on the ground, hang the body on it, and face the holy mountain to show their repentance to the gods.

Thinking of this, Ainise suddenly heard some strange movements coming from the wind.

She jumped up from the ground with a swish, then quickly climbed into the grass. After a while, half of her head was revealed, her black eyes looked towards the source of the sound: the other side of the river.

Then, she saw a scene that made her breathing pause in an instant:

Someone!!

...

It was a man, tall and thin.

The man ran over with his hands and feet, and then rushed into the river.

Ainise was a little scared!

She was wondering if this guy would be the cavalry of the King of Grassland, but she looked at the other side and did not see the horse.

She didn't choose to run away... because the sheep were still eating grass not far away - although my mother said she would run away first if she encountered danger, but Ainise couldn't bear to leave the sheep and Pipi.

The guy in the water was yelling something, and he quickly took off his clothes - the clothes he had on him were torn and thrown into the water casually.

When Ainise saw this, he finally understood: This guy was actually taking a shower!!

He actually took a bath in the holy holy mountain river!!

Just when Ainise was stunned, suddenly, a sudden time almost made her cry.

The dog heard the sound in the water, suddenly rushed out of the grass, jumped to the shore, and barked at the young man in the water!

This annoying thing!!

Ainise was about to cry.

She has never hated this dog so much. This dog always looks like this... but in fact he is very brave, and he always likes to cause trouble. Don't look at it being fierce now, as long as anyone picks up a stick, it will immediately turn around and run away.

Everyone in the tribe had laughed at the Ainise family and said that they had a timid sheepdog on the grassland.

My dad wanted to kill this dog several times, but Ainise refused because although this dog was timid and liked to cause trouble, Ainise still liked it very much: because it would accompany Ainise to jump around.

...

…………

Chen Daolin rushed into the water like crazy!

"Fun! Fun!!!"

Let the cold river water pass through his ears and eyes, Chen Daolin thrust hard in the river for a long time and stabbed several fiercely!

Then he crazily tore his clothes, tore them off, and throw them away!

Six years!!

Damn it! It's been six years!!!

Who can try what it feels like not to take a bath for six years!!!

Chen Daolin felt like he was almost going crazy!

Although in that small world, because of the different rules of the world, that world seems to have no concept of "dirty". Staying in that world, it seems that even if you don't take a bath for the rest of your life, you will never see your body getting dirty or your clothes getting rotten.
