Liu Jing didn't go out in the past few days, and Song Xin never heard Tai Ji speak again. He must be afraid of being noticed by Liu Jing and causing trouble to himself.
But every morning, he would find a red fruit under his pillow.
Song Xin was also happy to be quiet. Perhaps because of the fruit, his sleepiness during the day was greatly reduced. But in order not to make Liu Jing suspicious, he would still pretend to sleep after eating.
Liu Jing didn't seem to notice, and his attitude towards Song Xin had become significantly better recently.
The meals Wei Qi brought to the two of them every day were also richer, with plenty of wine and meat, including large goose legs. This is not the kind of goose legs that send people to death in prisons, but a roasted golden and oily deliciousness.
Song Xin, who was still growing up, would never have had the opportunity to enjoy such delicacies in the countryside.
On this day, two people were led into the courtyard by the white-bearded Manager Zheng of the Wei family.
The two men were obviously dressed as northern herdsmen. The man was tall and strong, with dark skin and a red face. The clothes on his body were thin, but the woman was wearing clothes that were obviously larger than her figure. It was obvious that the man had given her his own clothes to wear.
The girl is not pretty, but her big eyes are very lively. They were very dirty. They probably hadn't been cleaned for a long time. You could smell the sour smell on them from a distance.
The man is called Tuoshan and the woman is called Tuoye.
A few months ago, a group of ferocious Han cavalry rushed into their tribe, killing all the old and children except for a few young people. The children were burned on the spot, while the adults had their heads cut off and sent to receive rewards as the heads of the enemy.
The Han people tied them up and sent them all the way south to the Great Wall. Most of them died of hunger and starvation on the way, and the rest were sold into slavery. The two finally arrived in Juancheng. The two of them were bought by Manager Zheng and brought here.
As soon as the Xianbei people came in, they saw several people in the courtyard. One of them was Song Xin, who was about the same age as them, and there was a man who looked to be in his thirties. This man's triangular eyes kept looking at them, making them feel uncomfortable.
"Liu Xiangong, the person you want has bought it." Manager Zheng said to the middle-aged man, very respectfully.
"Do you know your birthday?"
Manager Zheng smiled bitterly and said, "I'm afraid even their biological mothers can't remember the birthdays of these barbarians."
When Tuoshan heard the old man's words, he glared and said, "Who are you calling a barbarian!?"
Manager Zheng stretched out his hand and slapped Tuoshan on the face, scolding fiercely: "You need to be disciplined. If you say you are rude, you are!"
Liu Jing shook his head slightly and said, "Take them to clean them and feed them some food. From now on, they will live in this room."
Then he pointed at Song Xin and said: "He is Song Xin, and he will tell you the rules here. There are benefits if you follow the rules, and you will be whipped if you don't."
Song Xin was startled, why did this old guy ask me to follow the rules? But he only dared to complain in his heart, and he didn't dare to fall out with him yet.
Liu Jing's eyes paused on the Xianbei boy Tuoshan for a moment before turning around and entering the house.
When the Xianbei boy heard Liu Jing's words, he looked at Song Xin with a bit of hostility in his eyes. He felt that Song Xin was in the same group with them and came to bully him and Tuoye.
Manager Zheng bowed and took the two children to rinse.
Tuoshan had a stubborn temper. When Manager Zheng grabbed his sleeve, he shook it off with a proud look on his face and strode out, with Tuoye following closely behind.
The old man just sneered and followed them.
After noon, the two of them came back and put on Han Chinese coarse linen clothes.
The girl Tuoye had a red slap mark on her face, while Tuoshan had a resentful look on his face. The corners of his mouth and eyes were blue, and there was a faint trace of blood.
"Hmph, you still act like wild dogs when you get here. If you dare to mess around again, I will send you to feed the dogs." Hearing the old man in charge scolding, it was not difficult to guess what just happened.
"From now on, please be obedient and don't make the immortal angry, otherwise you will be killed."
After the old man finished speaking, he pointed at Song Xin and asked him to teach him the rules. At this time, Tuoshan and Tuoye were beaten, their eyes filled with anger, as if they had a deep hatred for Song Xin, and they stared at him stubbornly.
Song Xin had a wry smile on his face and said, "Are you hungry? There is food here..."
Tuoshan didn't appreciate it and cursed: "Han dog, who will eat your food?" But his stubbornness could not resist his hunger. Song Xin caught his throat moving, apparently swallowing secretly.
Tuoye looked at the food in Song Xin's hand and gently tugged on Tuoshan's sleeve.
Tuoshan's heart suddenly softened, and the sternness in his eyes suddenly became much less intense. He spoke a few words of comfort in Xianbei dialect that Song Xin couldn't understand.
Song Xin walked to the food box, picked up a goose leg, and handed it to the girl Tuoye. He glanced at Liu Jing's house and said, "Remember, the rules here are very simple. First, don't go out at night. Second, you are not allowed to enter Master's house."
Then he winked at the two of them, and Tuoshan nodded. He was not stupid, and knew that Song Xin had no ill intentions. Most of the hostility towards Song Xin in his eyes was reduced, but he did not completely let down his guard. He protected Takuno as he walked into the house and closed the door.
Tuoye happily took out the goose leg and was about to eat it, then hesitated, looked at Tuoshan and handed him the goose leg.
"Ye, you eat first, and we'll run away when we're full!" After saying that, he gently stroked Tuo Ye's head.
Holding the fragrant goose meat, Tuoye was suddenly stunned, "Escape? How to escape?"
"I remember the way I came here." Tuoshan said softly.
"Shan, I will listen to you!" Tuoye nodded.
At about three o'clock in the morning, Song Xin suddenly heard the door of the next door room being gently pushed open, followed by the sound of gentle footsteps.
"not good!"
Song Xin's scalp was numb, these two people actually ran out at this time. Just when he was hesitating whether to go out, suddenly there was a huge fire in the yard, and then he heard Wei Qi's voice.
"Haha, I expected you to run away!"
Song Xin sat up with a roar. They were caught by Wei Qi, so what good could they get. Sure enough, there was a fierce fight outside.
The courtyard suddenly became chaotic. Through the window, Song Xin saw only the shining light of the fire, and the shadows in the light were intertwined and flashing.
"Good boy, there are still two more moments. Oops!"
Then I heard the dull sound of someone falling to the ground.
Then Tuoshan yelled at the top of his lungs, "You Han dogs, I'm going to beat you to death!!"
"You brat, you're still being stubborn. If you don't stop, I will strip her naked and dry her flesh tomorrow." Manager Zheng's voice shouted.
Song Xin knew that the two of them would not be able to defeat the Wei family's siege in the end.
The yard gradually calmed down. Song Xin wanted to help, but what could she do...
While hesitating and hesitating, Yu Ji suddenly spoke.
"Don't be too concerned about those two Xianbei people, otherwise you're afraid of exposing your flaws."
