He is only devoted to the map business left by his late husband and raises his own children safely. Such a person will not be recommended by the White Wolf to Lothar. Moreover, the count himself was able to detect something unusual about the woman in some ways, which made her voice more like a prevarication. However, this is not a bad thing. The more people living in a noisy and chaotic environment, the more cautious they are, the more careful they have to think. Such a person is certainly not easy to deal with as an opponent, but as an ally, it is enough to place hope. That''s why they would gladly accompany the mother and son to the piggyback team.
This woman has more wrists than she looks. And it is such a smart market person, but also in the present market, where it should be her home.
"Do you know which pack team is leaving today?" While Lothar was still thinking about whether to continue to ask, the other side took the initiative to ask a seemingly irrelevant question.
"I don''t know. My companions and I know little about it. Please take the trouble to explain it to us. " In fact, there are not so many tactful words in the language commonly used by prairie people, but the count''s tone is enough to turn ordinary words into sincere and humble inquiries. This is part of education, at least as an aristocrat, Lothar knows how to show respect to each other.
"Hypocritical guy." The boy holding his mother said in a low voice, and then was severely beaten in the back of the head by the woman. The effort was so great that he nearly knocked the boy over. And after this heavy blow, the woman rushed to her son immediately and touched the place she had just hit. The boy''s eyes were filled with tears, but he tried not to let the tears flow down.
"I''m sorry, you guys. It''s because I spoil this kid so much that I let you see the joke. Lao Jiu, apologize to others quickly The woman pulled her child half pulled from the ground and forced him to look at Lothar and them. ATA can''t bear to see it any more. Although she knows that it''s natural for her parents to beat their children, she''s too cruel. The swordswoman couldn''t help but let the mother let her child go. After all, the child was still young and did not understand the implied meaning of the words between the adults. She would hate the excessive polite modesty, of course.
Lothar stopped her, and of course he felt that the other side''s punishment was a little rough. But he knew that the mother and son who depended on each other would not vent their emotions on each other at will, and the mother''s beating and scolding must have her reason. This truth may not be clear to them who live outside the grassland. This is also the case. After that, KAILAS lay down in ATA''s ear and whispered to her why the women laid such heavy hands, because on the grassland, especially in such large tribes, the people who live in the market are actually not protected by the tribe. They are not people here. And people like this mother and son who have lost their own tribe will simply be regarded as Vagabonds. Even if the White Wolf presided over the order, the grassland people with status killed such vagrants, they would only have to compensate five ewes. The so-called grassland people, at best, are family members or leaders with certain status in the tribe, and their appearance is not more attractive than the count of Heishan.
The boy''s apology, mixed with choking, was hard to hear. But no one really expects to hear an apology from the child and get pleasure from the surrender of the weak. This is against chivalry, let alone a child. Fortunately, people around have long been familiar with such things as parents beating up their children. Although there was a wave of sight at the beginning, it also dispersed after a few seconds.
This little episode passed quickly. The beaten boy still held his mother carefully. Although his eyes were red, his face did not show the kind of grievance or dissatisfaction that he should have. This may seem strange to people. Although children at this age are not really rebellious, they should not learn to swallow their anger. Moreover, it is not only the boy who behaves strangely, but also the mother. Since the beginning of the meeting, she seems to have been doing things that do not match her appearance and age. Besides, although the father of the child is dead, since he is called Lao Jiu, should there be eight brothers and sisters in front of him? Why never heard the mother and son talk about the existence of these people? If they were dead, the woman could tell her husband''s death without saying a word about the eight children. Of course, as a mother, the status of her children is likely to be more important than that of her spouse. Perhaps their death is too heavy for her to recall. But that doesn''t make sense.
"Jingling! Ring the bell Bells, tied around the neck of horses. Compared with the horses that soldiers like, these humpback horses with bells around their necks are a little short, and the muscles in their legs are not strong enough. However, if ordinary horses were to carry a large number of goods, they could not still move at a constant speed every day. The maximum load of a war horse was only one or two people, and it would be difficult to run more. This is why the elite cavalry on the grassland always carry a number of horses in rotation when they go out to battle. Only in this way can we ensure that they have horsepower to fight at any time during the march at a constant speed.
Unlike pack horses, these horses are not suitable for riding, but they are more resilient and durable, and their diet is not as expensive as war horses. So although many people don''t look up to pack horses, they are still an important business core on the grassland. Because of this, the tone of the whole pack team is not so high. When a whole group of piggybacks is full of goods and is led by people riding on ordinary horses, it feels like a huge beast. Every step of it is slow, but every step is full of strength. It''s just that the beast doesn''t look leisurely now."Mother, why don''t they play flags and drums? Before that, when the other piggyback teams left, they were very busy. " Dry the snot under his nose. Lao Jiu asks his mother in some confusion. Indeed, the procession now approaching looked so heavy and suffocating that even the supposed light bell sounds like the scream of a whipped man. It''s hard to imagine a situation like this for kids.
"Silly boy, that''s because the piggyback team set out to make money. Now they set out to escape. You see, half of their packages are empty and the other half are unsold items. They didn''t sell and didn''t buy. They must have lost money this time. " The woman said softly, her eyes swept over the packages on the backs of the horses.
In any case, the piggyback team in front of us is really not impressive, and there are not too many people watching along the street. This allows the leader of the pack team, a middle-aged man with a big beard, to see the mother and son from the crowd at a glance. He gently urged the reins, stopped in front of them, and then turned over and dismounted.
"Long time no see, ah Jiu''s mother. It''s a bad year. We didn''t buy a map this time. I hope you can understand. "
