Nalan and Buge came to the street. They had no way out. They could only rescue Yi'an Gaowa before dark to avoid being discovered.
"We can't just search randomly," Bug asked. Nalan nodded: "As expected, we still have to ask, but who should we ask?"
The two of them were still walking aimlessly like this. At this time, Bug was extremely anxious and kept urging Nalan to find a solution.
"I know, I know, it's really annoying!" Nalan waved his hand and sighed: "If I had known better, I wouldn't have waded into your muddy water."
Bug laughed and scratched his head in embarrassment.
Just as the two of them finished speaking, they saw a group of idlers sitting on the grass at a place where livestock was sold, talking loudly, shouting from time to time, and laughing from time to time.
Bug had no intention of listening to their chatter. Even breathing seemed to be a chore for him now. He couldn't help but look at any woman he met on the street carefully, and was regarded as a pervert by people.
"I'm telling you, your appearance and personality don't match at all." Nalan laughed.
"Don't get me wrong, hey, I just think they all look like..." Before Bug could explain, he heard someone from the group of people shouting loudly: "That bitch slave from Master Haojigeri's house has been captured.
Yes, I heard that this cheap slave blatantly rode away the master’s war horse.”
"Oh... you are really brave!" Everyone echoed. When Bug heard the four words "Haojigeri", he suddenly thought of Yi'an Gaowa who had cried to him: "Master Haojigeri's people are going to kill him."
I took it back, I don’t want to go back to that place again!”
Thinking of this, Buge quickly grabbed Nalan's hand and whispered in his ear: "This guy named 'Haojigeri' is the one who kidnapped Yi'an Gaowa."
After hearing what he said, Nalan suddenly raised his head: "Yes, you told me that there is such a person. In this case, we should immediately inquire about Haojigeri's house and sneak in late at night."
The two men walked quickly towards the group of scattered people, and Buge asked politely: "Where does Mr. Haojigeri live?"
The scattered people were chatting happily, but how could they be heard? Buge repeated it again, causing angry eyes to suddenly focus on the two young people.
"Where did you come from, kid? Get out of here!" a big man yelled.
"That's right, don't disturb our fun, sir!" Another big man echoed. Everyone laughed, and no one knew what they were laughing at.
At this time, a man wearing a bamboo hat and linen came over.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
. He is thin and thin, his white hands have a charming luster, and he deliberately covers his face with a bamboo hat, but this does not affect the charm released by this man in the slightest.
The man in the bamboo hat pulled out his saber and thrust it forcefully into the middle of the group of people, making everyone lean back in fright.
The big man who spoke was naturally furious when he saw this posture, and punched the man in the bamboo hat. The man in the bamboo hat did not panic at all, he just dodged the fist slightly by dodging back, and pulled out the saber stuck on the ground.
The wind quickly reached the man's throat.
The man broke out in a cold sweat and said tremblingly: "Big...big...uncle...spare our family's life, why do we have no grievances and no enmity..."
Before he could finish speaking, the man in the bamboo hat pointed at Nalan Buge with his other hand. The man immediately understood and knelt down in front of the two men: "You two young masters, our family is short-sighted. Please spare our lives. You
Whatever you want to ask, as long as our family knows it, we will never hide it!"
Although Nalan Buge didn't figure out what was going on, he finally had the opportunity to ask. Nalan squatted in front of the man's head and pinched the man's hair: "Who is Hao Jige and where is his residence?"
?”
The man was trembling and speechless. Buge walked up to Nalan and said, "He is very scared now. He probably won't be able to say anything. Let's calm him down first."
Then Buge said to the man: "Uncle, we didn't mean to hurt you, and we really offended you for frightening you." After saying that, Buge stretched out his hand to pull the man up, and the man twisted his neck to calm down.
"This Master Haojigeri has a great background. He is the brother of Chief Haupt. Relying on this relationship, he runs rampant in the tribe and no one dares to provoke him. Those slaves were snatched from the hands of herdsmen.
Yes, I have cultivated a slave character since I was a child," Hanzi explained.
"What does Hao Jigiri look like?" Nalan asked.
"He is as his name suggests, a big bald head!" The man looked around and saw that there were no officers and soldiers, and laughed loudly. The other San people also laughed. (Haojigeri: means bald head)
Bug continued to ask: "Where is Haojigeri's residence?"
The man looked at him, then shook his head and said: "This Mr. Haojigeri is not someone to be trifled with. I passed by there after drinking a few days ago and he beat me up... What are you doing with him?
"
Nalan and Buge were speechless for a moment, not knowing how to answer. Seeing this, the man in the bamboo hat quickly locked the man's neck with his right arm, and then said in a very low voice against the man's ear: "If you ask nonsense again, your life will be lost today.
Got it!"
"Uncle, I was wrong! I was wrong!" The man was so frightened that he trembled and almost peed.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Out.
The man in the bamboo hat pushed him down and pointed at Nalan and Nalan again. The man trembled and said, "If something happens, don't let me out. If you walk more than 200 steps towards the rising sun, you'll be there."
, there is a statue of someone who doesn’t know who it is at the door, the two gentlemen can go there on their own, it’s inconvenient for me, a fool, to go there.”
"In that case, let's go." Nalan turned around and said. Bug helped the man up and thanked him repeatedly. Just when he was about to thank the man in the bamboo hat who helped him, he found that the man in the bamboo hat had already left like a gust of wind.
.
As the big man said, the two walked more than two hundred steps and really saw a statue.
It was a statue made of obsidian, more than five meters high. It was an old man with a long beard, a Torchik hat on his head, a Mongolian robe engraved with various illustrations, and a saber stuck in his foot.
In front of him, his hands rested on the handle of the knife. His resolute eyes looked towards the north, as if looking at the distant blue sky. The agate inlaid on the handle of the knife shone brightly, and an eagle was carved on the shoulder, with a sharp beak and a long beak, as if
Just about to spread your wings and fly high.
Nalan Bug looked at this statue, and suddenly he was surprised in unison: "I saw it when I was a child!" The two looked at each other again, and Bug quickly asked: "How did you see it before?"
"I remember that there was a statue like this in my Zabibi tribe settlement." Narans thought for a while and then asked: "You are a descendant of the Hesheville family, how come there is a statue of the god Hanasher?"
"Abba said: 'Whether it is the Hesheville family or the Buck family, they all believe in the same eternal life, and the blood of the Anjiwa people flows in their bones,' so we also have statues there."
"How can the God of Heaven, Hanasher, tolerate a traitor?" Nalan muttered silently in his heart, but did not say it out loud. He just laughed along with it.
While the two were talking, several soldiers gradually came over with sabers in hand, and their footsteps were very loud. Bug was startled, but fortunately he was light and quick, and climbed up the earth wall in two or two while urging Na.
orchid.
"I can't, I can't..." Nalan said tremblingly.
As the footsteps got closer and closer, Nalan seemed to be able to hear his own heartbeat. Bug frowned: "Soldiers will be here soon!"
Nalan was so anxious that he almost cried. Just when he was at his wits' end, Buge stretched out his hands: "Hurry and grab my hand, so that you can climb up!"
Nalan held Bug's arm. He had never climbed a wall since he was a child, so when he stepped on the pit, he accidentally missed the step, and the two of them fell off the wall.
The violent banging sound aroused the alertness of all the soldiers. "What's going on over there!" The soldiers drew their sabers and walked warily towards the back of the earthen wall.
