The originally good killing team suddenly had tens of thousands of sheep, more than a thousand cattle, and an additional two thousand horses?
This unexpected change instantly gave Xiao Han a splitting headache!
Over there, Liu Ergang rushed out on horseback to catch the escaping cow.
Here, the fool was accidentally hit by a horse and fell to the ground. At the same time, he was stamped a few times by some passing sheep. He lay on the ground in pain and cried for his father.
Looking at the team that was completely in a mess, Xiao Han slapped his forehead hard and secretly swore in his heart: In the future, he will never do such embarrassing things for money!
If they encounter the enemy again, they probably won't fight them, they will just scare these animals from a distance, and their own team will be wiped out by these animals.
"Who, who has a way to make these livestock obedient, give him a hundred sheep after returning to the city!" Xiao Han shouted in pain while holding his bulging forehead.
There was chaos all around, but none of the soldiers responded.
joke! The most livestock these people had ever seen were probably the dozen or so sheep owned by landlords in the city.
Now, suddenly faced with a flock of sheep that could not even be seen, each one of them was so busy that they were shaking their butts with their heels! If there was any way, it would have been used long ago. Who can hide it now?
"General... okay, let us try..."
Just when Xiao Han was worried and thinking about whether to kill a few sheep to see if he could scare these horses! Not far behind him, a soft and weak voice suddenly came.
"Who? Who has any idea?"
Xiao Han, who was extremely irritable, was overjoyed when he heard that someone wanted to try it! He hurriedly turned to look at the person who spoke, but when he saw the person's appearance clearly and the happy expression on his face, he froze immediately.
There, a young man wearing clothes that were several sizes too big, with unkempt hair and bruises on his face was looking at him timidly.
Behind the young man, there were a group of similarly dressed people with their heads lowered, like frightened quails. They only dared to raise their heads to look at him occasionally, and then they immediately lowered their gazes and stared at the soles of their feet.
These people are the slaves Liu Er rescued from the Red Wolf tribe. There are men and women, eighty-four in total!
At that time, Xiao Han said that they were free to choose to stay or go, but no one chose to stay in the grassland. These eighty-four people all followed Xiao Han's team and prepared to return to their hometown after a long absence.
"You guys? Hey... forget it, you should rest."
After staring at the young man who spoke for a while, Xiao Han reluctantly waved his hand, indicating that they should continue to rest.
It's not that Xiao Han doesn't believe them, it's really that he can't bear to let these people work anymore!
Take the young man who spoke as an example. Apart from the coat seized from the Turks, his body underneath was as thin as a piece of paper! It can almost be blown down by a gust of wind!
And because his body is so thin, his head looks extremely big! It looks very much like the "little carrot head" he learned when he was in school, even worse than that poor child!
Therefore, even if Xiao Han knew that these people were in the Turks, they were doing herding business! But he really couldn't bear to use these people anymore!
The little carrot head heard Xiao Han's words and did not go back. Instead, he rubbed the corners of his clothes hesitantly. Then, as if he mustered up a lot of courage, he said to Xiao Han: "I'm fine. I want to help you..."
"So are we……"
Following behind Little Carrot Head, a group of unkempt people also whispered.
In fact, they have long wanted to help these people who saved them from suffering!
But after living under the abuse and oppression of the Turks for many years, they have long lost the ability to communicate with others normally!
Even if they return to their compatriots at this time, these people will just accept orders habitually instead of having their own opinions!
"you……"
Taking a deep breath, Xiao Han looked at these thin Tang people with various colors of fear, hope, and caution in their eyes, and his nose couldn't help but feel sore again!
He was afraid that his tears would flow out again, so he had to turn around and said angrily: "Okay, you guys can go help too! When I return to the city this time, I will give you some cattle and sheep, just... When we did not protect the compensation you made before..."
Before Xiao Han finished the last two sentences, the Tang people who had been kidnapped by the Turks had already rushed to the side of the kicking cattle and sheep, shouting slogans skillfully, and drove the disobedient animals into obedience. .
Perhaps, only when you encounter a catastrophe can you cherish the present more!
For these tortured Tang people, being able to escape from that hell and return home alive is the greatest blessing in their lives! As for compensation? They didn't think about it, and they didn't think about it!
They were kidnapped by the Turks only because their lives were bad. How could they dare to blame Xiao Han for not protecting them?
————
"Should I be a good boy? Why are these beasts so obedient all of a sudden?"
Liu Er, whose hat was knocked askew, drove a bullock back to the team from a distance. When he saw that the livestock that had been a mess suddenly became orderly, his big eyes almost stared down, and he hurriedly jumped off the horse. He ran to Xiao Han and asked.
When Xiao Han saw that Liu Er was back, he sighed and nuzzled at the Tang people waving whips: "Your eyes are broken after going out? Didn't you see them helping?"
"Huh?" Hearing this, Liu Er glanced at those figures, and then his ugly face suddenly wrinkled like a bitter melon, complaining: "I just told you to let them help herd the sheep, but you didn't let me! Why? As soon as I left, you changed your mind again?!"
Xiao Han glared at Liu Er angrily and shouted in a low voice: "Nonsense! We finally rescued them. If we let them continue to herd sheep, how will they be different from those Turkic barbarians?"
"Then they aren't..." Liu Er couldn't help but roll his eyes, thinking to himself, aren't they herding sheep now? What are you doing? Could it be that you are playing with a whip?
You girl clearly want to be that, and you want to build a memorial arch!
When Xiao Han saw Liu Er's expression, how could he not guess what he was thinking? He raised his foot and kicked him hard on the buttocks. At the same time, he shouted angrily: "What's wrong now?! Now they support the army voluntarily! Do you understand voluntarily? Can it be the same as before? If you dare to slander again? Do you believe that I will let you return to Shuofang lying on your back?"
"Ah! The Marquis is wise! The Marquis is powerful, the Marquis is shameless... No, he is omnipotent!" Liu Er was kicked on the butt, and he quickly flattered Xiao Han, and at the same time, he kept making signs of pain on his face. .
Although Xiao Han's light kick to tickle him was too light, but he must not miss the scene he was supposed to do!
If he omits even the crucial step of trying to please someone and showing weakness, he will really be a loser.
