Chapter 4: I Don’t Want to Be a Uighur Anymore (Thanks to My Friends for the Tips)

Chapter 4: I don’t want to be a Huihe anymore

Today, because they were going to eat roasted marmots, Yunchu’s family had dinner a little later than usual. Both Sailaima and Naha hugged their knees and stared at the black lump in the fire.

Sailaima is only 28 years old this year. If you ignore her rough hands, sunburned face, and wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, she is still a beautiful woman.

In the Sai tribe, it is normal for a 28-year-old woman to raise a 13-year-old child.

In fact, beautiful women do not belong to ordinary Huihe people at all. As long as a girl reaches the age of eight, you can tell whether she is beautiful or not.

At this time, ordinary herders’ families are not qualified to raise this beautiful child. The tribe’s steward Apo will take the beautiful girl out of the house and give her to Master Ekin, who has a higher status than him.

Then, Master Ekin personally sent them to the regional manager Goli, and after selection, they had to be sent to the Khan's wife, Khadun, as virgins...

It can be said that every Sai beauty belongs to the Khan, and the consequence of this is that his tribesmen would rather make love with big-tailed sheep than with those dry firewood girls in the tribe.

Selaima is a beauty who has gone through this process. After ten years in the Khan's tent, she was driven out because of her age and the fact that Yunchu, who had black hair and black eyes, was obviously not the Khan's son, and became an ordinary shepherdess.

The Khan has many women, and except for his Khadun, the rest of the women there are just tools for him to bribe or win over men.

If Yunchu looks similar to other Huihe people, it would be fine, and Yunchu is relatively healthy, the Khan would think that Yunchu is his son, but... Yunchu looks too much like those arrogant and vicious Tang people.

In the past, they liked the Tang people very much, and they joined many tribes to build a "Tian Khan Road" in the north and south of Tianshan Mountain.

At that time, as long as the people of Sai sent some dried Tianshan snow lotus, dried yak tails, dried meat, and dried fur to Tian Khan, they could get linen, silk, salt and iron pots rewarded by the then "Tian Khan", which was very cost-effective.

In recent years, it is said that the "Tian Khan" has changed. This "Tian Khan" is very stingy and unreasonable. Not only did he reward much less, but he also asked the people of Sai to pay tribute to them with living cattle and sheep.

Not only that, the color of the cattle they wanted must be one color, and the color of the sheep must also be one color. The black-eyed rams of Yunchu's family cannot be selected.

The cattle and sheep as many as black clouds were sent out, and they got very little paper, books, scriptures, and portraits, which made the people of Sai very disappointed.

The Tang people are misers!

They want our cattle and sheep, our pastures, our women, and they want our children to be their slaves.

Not allowing the Tang people to interfere in the internal affairs of the tribe is a consensus reached by all the Hu people in the Western Regions in the past two years.

Selima never mentioned her past to Yunchu. After becoming a shepherdess, the smile on her face never disappeared. She told her son that the life she was living now was the life she had always dreamed of.

The marmots were cooked. The marmots caught today were very fat. Even if they were not as good as Dafei, they were not much different.

When scraping the black ash from the burnt marmot, Yunchu suddenly felt that he seemed to have been tricked by Dafei. This guy might not be able to beat this marmot in the marmot group, so he lured it to Yunchu, hoping to use Yunchu's powerful strength to kill his opponent.

However, this is nothing, Yunchu has benefited after all.

Yunchu cooked the marmot very well today. After the black ash was scraped off, the marmot's skin turned brown, and a strong aroma came out from the mouth with the steam.

At this moment, Selaima and Naha, who were squatting beside him and preparing to eat, seemed to have glowing eyes, still that terrifying green light.

The hand fork easily cut the round body of the marmot, and Naha screamed...

"I told you, you have to use chopsticks to eat this thing, you just grab it with your hands... If I hadn't beaten you today, I would have started beating you by now."

Selaima used chopsticks very skillfully. She was not even afraid of the hot marmot meat. Since Yunchu cut the marmot, she had never stopped using chopsticks.

As long as she started eating, Selaima would forget that she had a son and a daughter...

Naha had to ask her brother for help, and opened her mouth wide waiting for her brother to feed her.

At this time, Yunchu didn't speak as usual, mainly because they couldn't hear him talking at this time.

The plump heart and liver rolled in Naha's small mouth and disappeared. The crispy outer skin broke under Naha's two rows of rice-like teeth, and then disappeared in an instant.

Yunchu slapped Naha's hand that wanted to use a wooden spoon to scoop marmot oil to drink, and put a piece of greasy fat into her mouth.

Yunchu slapped Selaima's hand holding the wooden spoon again, and used a fork to pick a piece of belly meat and put it into Selaima's mouth.

A marmot weighs seven or eight pounds, and three or four pounds after roasting. In a short while, they were eaten up by the mother and daughter.

After Yunchu forced a large bowl of dandelion tea into the stomachs of the mother and daughter, they broke out of the halo of gourmet food.

Selaima looked at her handsome son with satisfaction, picking her teeth and saying, "What kind of woman can be worthy of my son?"

Yun Chu smiled slightly.

Selema spit out the shreds of meat embedded in her teeth and forced Yunchu's face to her oily face and whispered: "When I was in the Khan's tent, I saw a man with skin as white as milk and as white as jade. A smooth beauty with a butt as big as a sheep's tail and a chest as bulging as a cow's.

Did you know that she can really enchant people when she sings? The nightingale's voice is not as beautiful as her singing voice.

Do you want her? If you want, I can sneak her out during the sheep shearing the day after tomorrow, and you can burn a marmot for her..."

Yunchu looked at Selema's obscene action of stuffing a finger into the hole made with her other hand, shook her head and said, "I'm not an adult yet."

Selema patted Yunchu's chest in confusion, glanced at the middle of his legs, and immediately became melancholy.

"You've never bullied a big-tailed sheep?"

Yun Chu said impatiently: "I am a human, not a ram."

"However, a 13-year-old Uighur is already a man. He can find women, fight, graze, and have his own tent."

Yun Chu was stunned when he heard this, but he immediately came to his senses and said to Selema, "Selema, do you really want to enter Jiesga's tent?"

Selema nodded slightly, looked at Yunchu happily and said, "Do you think Jasika is a good person?"

Yun Chu used a wooden stick to pull the dark red charcoal and whispered: "If you want to enter his tent, I would rather he not be so nice."

“Aren’t good people bad?”

"The problem is that only bad guys can truly protect you and Naha."

"Don't you protect Naha?"

Yunchu thought for a moment, lowered his head and said slowly: "Selema, your little goshawk is ready to leave the nest and fly in the sky."

"Are you going to wander?" Selema couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

Yunchu held Selema's hand and smiled: "I don't want to be a Huihe anymore, is that okay?"

Selema was not surprised, and sighed: "I knew the Uighur tent couldn't keep you, but it would be difficult for you to become a Tang person."

Yun Chu lowered his head and smiled: "In the eyes of the Huihe people, I am an alien, like a horse mixed with a herd of cattle, or a wolf mixed with a sheep herd. The younger ones are afraid of me, and the older ones are on guard against me.

In the past, they just observed me and ignored me, but something has been going wrong recently. Some warriors from the tribe have started to cause trouble for me.

I'm worried that it won't be long before conflicts arise.

Fortunately, you are about to enter Jiesga's tent, and little Naha will follow you. Without you, I want to do something quickly so that I can vent all the anger accumulated in my heart.

As for whether I can become a Tang person, I don't care. Even if I become a wanderer, I don't want to stay in this tribe that doesn't belong to me. "

Selema saw that half of Yunchu's face was hidden in the darkness, and half was exposed to the firelight. His expression was as solemn as ever before, and she couldn't help but become afraid.

"What are you going to do?"

Yun Chu said absently: "You just need to make sure to enter Jiesga's tent, and I will do the rest."

"What are you going to do?" Selema was anxious.

After living with Yun Chu for thirteen years, she still understood this cheap son. This child could not bear any humiliation at all, let alone anyone bullying her and Naha.

When he was ten years old, the reason why he went to chase the blue sheep on the cliff was entirely to protect her. If Yun Chu didn't chase the blue sheep, she would enter the big Abo Gesalu's tent...

When he was eleven years old, the reason why he fought with that crazy argali was entirely to prevent Gesalu from taking away Naha, who had already become a beauty.

When Yunchu killed the argali weighing 150 kilograms with a fork and stood in front of Gesalu covered in blood, even that shameless guy never mentioned taking Naha away again. things.

When Ge Salu's son led a group of teenagers to besiege Yunchu, he looked like this now, with a smile on his face and a cold light in his eyes that could kill someone.

If Jiesiga hadn't stopped him at that time, Yunchu would have even killed Gesalu's son.

Everyone in the tribe knew that Yunchu would kill Gesalu one day, and they were very sure.

If it weren't for Yunchu's ability to select breeding sheep and raise the best breeding sheep, so that the number of lambs in the tribe would increase year by year, and gain more attention than Sogdaqin, Gesalu would have taken advantage of various conveniences to kill Yunchu. .

Selema had seen Yunchu wielding a sword under the guidance of the tribe's fierce warrior Jiesga. No matter it was winter or summer, he never stopped.

I also saw Yun Chu shooting arrows under the guidance of Jiesika. Similarly, he never had a moment of rest.

This child is now a qualified Uighur warrior, and can fly up and down on horseback, as nimble as a kite circling on horseback.

Now, Selema felt that Yunchu wanted to kill that fat pig-like Gesalu!
